Chapter 178: Layout (Part II)

Haojing was the capital of the Taiyuan Dynasty.

As one of the few great empires of the human race on the mainland, there is no doubt about the prosperity and liveliness of this good place. Compared with overseas markets, it is not much more than that. The street was full of traffic, crowds of people, and the black pressure was full of people.

When night fell, countless lights were lit up, and there were countless huge balls of light condensed by mana floating in the air, illuminating every corner of the capital city as bright as day, like a city that never sleeps. It was the work of the monks.

A man in black with a plain face and an ordinary atmosphere strolled along the side of the street, inconspicuous in the bustling crowd.

He wandered around seemingly casually for a while, and finally came to a small blacksmith shop.

Entering the door is a small courtyard, and the sound of tinkling knocks is incessant. A few sets of unfinished armor hung on a wooden shelf by the wall, and some ordinary swords and farm tools were piled up in a mess, and six or seven idle men were sweating and working by the stove.

Seeing the man in black come in, a young man thought that there was business coming to the door, so he stepped forward and greeted him politely: "What does the guest officer need?" ”

"One tael of abyss magic crystal iron, three coins of Liuhe iron essence, and one liter of Jinghua water...... "The man in black unhurriedly reported a long list of material names.

The young man's eyes flashed with a different color, rubbed his hands, and said with an embarrassed face: "This guest officer, this store is small and profitable, but there are not so many high-end supplies, it is better to ......"

"Then take me to your shopkeeper, he can always call the shots, right?" The man in black laughed.

"This ...... Well, please come with me, guest officer. The lad said and let him into the house.

The furnishings in the blacksmith's shop are ordinary, decent, and nothing unusual. The young man did not stop for the slightest, and led the man in black through the hall to an inconspicuous utility room in the backyard.

After covering the door, there were faint mana fluctuations in the space, and several thin white lights appeared out of thin air, criss-crossed, and a multi-faceted prismatic spherical transmission circle quickly took shape and stabilized.

The man in black nodded secretly, this kind of exquisite space magic circle not only costs a lot, but also has to be a master expert in the formation path to set up. The strength of this Thousand Machines Pavilion is really even more exaggerated than he imagined.

"Guest officer, please come in, our shopkeeper is already waiting inside." The young man said politely.

He agreed, and stepped into the teleportation circle unsuspectingly, his figure quickly faded, and after a few breaths, the inside of the circle was empty.

There was a change of light and shadow in front of him, and when his vision was restored, the man in black found himself in a strange tall cave.

The surrounding environment has been carefully trimmed, the floor is paved with patterned crystalline floor tiles, and the walls and dome are covered with precious gold agarwood boards, and there are fine carved ornaments on them, inlaid with many night pearls, so that the whole cave interior is bathed in jewels.

Two bewitching maids dressed in cool clothes and with beautiful facial features walked over, greeted him softly, and then led the way. The white carcass under the transparent gauze skirt writhed seductively, extremely irritating.

Walk down the promenade, through two heavily guarded portals, and finally into a splendid apartment.

A beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties, with a beautiful face and snowy skin, sat behind a large bookcase, dressed in full costume and full of pearls, like a court lady.

"It's a welcome guest to come, please sit down and talk." The woman's lips opened lightly and smiled leisurely.

The man in black was not polite, sat down on the seat next to him, and said lightly: "Your precautions are getting stricter and stricter, and even if I come to find you, I have to spend so many hands and feet." ”

"There's no way, a few days ago, the high-level of the Gui faction suddenly took action to clean up and investigate all the cities around the Cangxuan Mountain Range, and pulled out many of our strongholds in a row, and the loss was too great." The beautiful woman sighed.

The man in black smiled, raised his hand and removed the mask and disguise on his face, revealing a cute and cute fat face, which was Xin Ranhui, the core disciple of Xuanling Palace.

Naturally, he knew that this beautiful woman was telling the truth. After the incident of Luo Wen's east window, the head of the sect was extremely angry, and ordered the masters of the sect to go out to sweep the surroundings of the Cangxuan Mountain Range, and all the secret strongholds of the Thousand Machine Pavilion were found out and removed. Therefore, in order to avoid more serious losses, this Taoist commander, which specializes in intelligence business, had to transfer the branch of the organization to Haojing.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Xin Ranhui coughed, his expression became serious: "I can provide you with the information that interests you the most, I wonder what kind of price you can afford?" ”

The beautiful woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she said quietly: "The thing that your sect has attracted the most attention from the outside world now is nothing more than your Holy Highness. The last accident was also caused by her, this ...... How do you make us believe in you? ”

Xin Ranhui smiled: "You want to buy the news, I want to sell the news, and I guarantee that the news is true, that's enough, isn't it?" As for what else happened...... There are always risks involved in doing business, let alone such a big business? ”

"You have to take risks, don't I have to take risks? That unlucky Luo Wen is still suffering on Longhua Peak. ”

The beautiful woman bowed slightly: "This is also true, any business has risks, of course, as long as the profit return is enough, it is appropriate to take some risks." ”

"Then please tell me your news, and we will pay you according to its value, and we will not let you suffer."

"Very good, I know that Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden will leave the sect soon to go out to explore the ruins of an ancient cave mansion, I have the specific route and time here, it is absolutely true." Xin Ranhui said in a deep voice.

Rao is beautiful woman is good at cultivating her energy, and she was also shocked by the news, and almost stood up, stared at him in disbelief and asked:

"Are you sure? This is the most confidential information in your sect, how can you even know this? ”

Now the attention of the outside world to Qin Luyan has reached an unprecedented height, even surpassing those powerful giants. Many big forces secretly offered jaw-dropping prices, wanting to buy the specific whereabouts of this holy woman, so as to take the opportunity to capture her alive or simply kill her.

Therefore, the Thousand Machines Pavilion has also increased the secret bounty in this regard a lot, but unfortunately, since Luo Wen's accident, all the intelligence informants in the Xuanling Palace have lost contact, and it is impossible to pass on the news. What's more, this kind of top-secret information related to the safety of the Holy Maiden may not even be known to ordinary core elders.

So when Xin Ranhui said this, the first reaction of the beautiful woman was suspicion. After all, the other party was just a core disciple, how could he get such crucial news?

"There's nothing surprising about it, I usually have a good relationship with her, and she introduced me to the sect in the first place, so I have always been very trusted by her. She had already revealed her trip to me. ”

Xin Ranhui said: "My origin, you must have also collected intelligence, you should know that I didn't lie to you." Now I'm going to ask, do you want this news? ”

The beautiful woman looked at him fixedly for a while, and said suspiciously: "Of course we know your situation, a child of a small family of scattered cultivators who was originally powerless and powerless, happened to meet that holy woman, and was blessed by her, so that you could successfully join the Xuanling Palace and be named a core disciple. It can be said that she has a great favor to you, so why should you betray her? ”

"You're right, I'm just from a casual cultivation background, so it's impossible to be truly trusted and reused in Xuanling Palace. In the future, even if you work hard and make more contributions, you will be an ordinary core disciple for the rest of your life, and in the future, you will be in the position of an ordinary elder, and your life will end like this. And I'm very unwilling to end up like this. So ......" Xin Ranhui said calmly.

The beautiful woman's expression was slightly stunned, of course she understood that Xin Ranhui was telling the truth. Even if a gifted casual cultivator can have the opportunity to worship a major sect, it is difficult to get a chance to get ahead, and he will not receive much attention and cultivation in his life. This is a common phenomenon in today's Cangling Realm.

It's just that the top-level Dao system has a deep heritage and huge power, and if the scattered cultivators want to live a stable life, the best choice is still to try to enter these big sects. At least the safety of myself and my family is guaranteed, and I don't have to live that precarious, bullied and oppressed life.

"Well, I believe it."

The beautiful woman nodded and said, "If the information you provide is true, we will give you a Taiyuan True Hua Dan, a Xuanbing Zixia Sword, and an Annihilation Star Battle Armor." That price should satisfy you, right? ”

A genuine elixir, plus two medium-grade magic weapons, is indeed a generous gift. Even if it is a top-level Dao system, it is not easy to come up with such benefits.

Of course, the beautiful woman is not worried, the various benefits promised by those big forces who have secretly asked for it add up to far more than this amount. Qianji Pavilion will make money from them when it changes hands, and it is impossible to make a loss-making transaction at all.

"Yes, I'm satisfied." Xin Ranhui smiled, and a small and delicate jade talisman appeared in his hand, which he threw to the beautiful woman.

She took it over and inspected it, the ecstasy in her eyes disappeared suddenly, and she said urgently: "Please wait, I'll go and report to the above." ”

As she spoke, her figure had disappeared after flashing into the screen.

Xin Ranhui didn't care, leaned back in his seat and waited for a long time.

After a while, the beautiful woman went and returned, holding a huge jade box in her hand, and opened it on the table in a precious place.

Inside was a black long sword with cold light, a soft jade-white inner armor, and a sea-blue elixir. The powerful mana fluctuations diffuse, and it is exactly the reward agreed by the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

"The credibility of your faction is really speechless." Xin Ranhui praised.

The beautiful woman smiled slightly: "This is natural, our Qianji Pavilion has been inherited for thousands of years, relying on the word reputation, but we will not do the kind of thing that breaks the promise and turns the face when we get benefits." ”

"Take it, it's yours now."
