chapter 174

Reception Hall.

"Virtuous Brother, really not going?"

"Not going, not going, Person Wang doesn't lack Inheritance. That Eastern Pole Capital's Inheritance is somewhat attractive, but it's just Ruins from the Ancient Era. What Treasures could possibly have survived?"

Wang Yu shook his head like a rattle-drum, making Family Head Guan, who was continuously trying to persuade him, somewhat embarrassed.

The Fragrance Listening Sect Female Cultivator, who was observing from the side, spoke up. She was not the representative from the Northern District branch, but a guest from the Mountain Gate Outside the City.

She had only heard of Wang Yu's name before, and this was their first meeting. Like Hermit Qing Yang, she was at the Peak Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Level and held a lofty position within the sect.

Considered second only to one person, and above ten thousand.

"City Lord Wang has misunderstood. There's more than just Inheritance within the Ruins. Eastern Pole Capital has many Residences of Imperial Family members, called Wang Residence. Inside, there are all kinds of Treasures carefully preserved.

"Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, Talismans, Array Flags, Spirit Medicines, Spirit Materials… and so on, everything you could wish for! Our Scented Fragrance Sect once obtained Ancient Legacy Incense from an incense shop."

Wang Yu had intended to refute, but swallowed the words back down.

It was only sixty to seventy thousand years ago. Spirit Transformation Cultivators have over three thousand years of Lifespan. As long as the Inheritance is ordered and there are successors, passing it down for twenty or so generations should be no problem.

Thinking like this, it was reasonable that Means could be used to preserve things.

"Not going, not going, Person Wang doesn't like to eat things of unknown origin. Honored guests, please make yourselves at home, I have other matters and must take my leave."

"Wait."

This time, several people spoke up to stop him. They exchanged Eye Contact with each other, then looked at Wang Yu again, "City Lord, if you are not going, could you perhaps let us peruse the successive generations of Osmanthus Hill City…"

"Five thousand!"

Wang Yu's eyes lit up.

"You seven people, five thousand Spirit Stones each, and you can peruse the Intelligence known by the City Lord's Mansion."

The Guan and Jiang families, Scented Fragrance Sect, and Purple Dragon Mountain, that's four families.

Plus Cloud Dream Pavilion, Tiger Demon Gang (new), and Purple Gold Merchant Guild in the Northern District, three Foundation Establishment Stage Factions.

Purple Gold Merchant Guild is a local merchant guild of Osmanthus Hill City, its scale far smaller than Golden Abundance Pavilion; the two are completely incomparable.

But it is easier to be influenced and controlled by the City Lord's Mansion, and was deliberately kept by Wang Yu to join this Alliance of Interests big family, able to help him move Illicit Goods, and by the way, establish a route with the King Yama Ghost Market.

It was impossible for him to go to such a distant and dangerous place. He could only send people to take a look to see if there were any Resources he needed.

As for the Tiger Demon Gang, it was a new Foundation Establishment Stage Faction established on the Corpses of the Green Dragon Gang and numerous small gangs. Wang Yu had also lent a hand.

In short.

His Control over Osmanthus Hill City was becoming increasingly deep.

The Intelligence price of five thousand Spirit Stones was not expensive, everyone could afford it, and Person Wang's attitude was so resolute, so the group didn't press him further, and all agreed.

After paying one by one, Wang Yu had someone lead them to the Records Room.

After they left.

Hermit Qing Yang, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out. He had watched the entire process from the sidelines, and said, "City Lord, I will also pay five thousand Spirit Stones."

"No need, no need, we are exchanging Intelligence."

Wang Yu, beaming with smiles, put his arm around Hermit Qing Yang and pressed him into a chair, "Dao Brother, saying such things is too polite. Of course, the City Lord's Mansion's Intelligence is indeed a bit more valuable than your Ink Wash Sect's Intelligence."

"It is."

Mentioning this point, Hermit Qing Yang did not deny it.

In every generation of the Ink Wash Sect, people had died in the Ruins, exploring a relatively safe route, while the Osmanthus Hill City Lord's Mansion's Intelligence was almost like drawing down the entire Eastern Pole Capital.

Not only were the locations of the Imperial City marked, but also the 108 Markets, and the Palaces, Wang Residences, and Imperial City Gates within the Capital were all recorded. A small portion was from actually having been there, and most was speculation.

With the Origin of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, their understanding of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty was naturally far superior to theirs. They were all reasoned judgments and conjectures, and the credibility was still very high.

What he wanted to find was, first, the Craftsman's Hall, the Inheritance of the Imperial Painter, second, the remains of the Ink Wash Sect Ancestor, and third, a compatible Core Formation Spirit Material.

With this Intelligence, he felt that the Royal Treasury recorded within might very likely have it, which was much better than him bumping around like a headless fly. At least he had a Goal.

This favor, naturally, had to be remembered.

Wang Yu then brought up his true purpose.

"The Relationship between you and I is not comparable to those outsiders. It's just Intelligence sharing, Person Wang can do it, Dao Brother can naturally also do it."

"…It is."

Hermit Qing Yang was somewhat hesitant. They had only known each other for a few days, and heart-to-heart talks seemed a bit premature.

"That's good, then Person Wang will wait for Dao Brother Qing Yang to return from the Ruins. At that time, please properly tell Yu about the situation inside, the stories experienced, and we will not go home until drunk."

So, this was the idea he was aiming at. Hermit Qing Yang's tense body finally relaxed.

"—No problem."

This is an honest person, rare, too rare!

...

...

Osmanthus Hill City, Golden Abundance Pavilion.

After sending away Hermit Qing Yang and the others, another half month passed, and Wang Yu finally received news from Golden Abundance Pavilion. He came almost immediately.

In the past ten years, his Family Fortune had once surged to three or four million Spirit Stones, but he had also spent a Not Few amount, Third Grade Spirit Materials being one of the major expenditures, and another was Core Formation Spirit Materials.

Core Formation Spirit Materials are something that you encounter by chance, mostly produced in various Secret Realms, which have a more Dense Power of Heaven and Earth, and are also more suitable for the growth of such Rare Treasures, with few external enemies.

As long as a bud sprouts, almost eighty percent of them can grow to maturity.

Of course, this is not to say that the Power of Heaven and Earth in the outside world is inferior to the Power of Heaven and Earth within the Secret Realm, but it is a matter of breadth.

The Secret Realm space is small, and the Power of Heaven and Earth concentration is high, making it seem more full of Spiritual Opportunity than the outside world, but in reality, it is limited by space Limitation.

Back then, after Bai Family was executed, Wang Yu had been searching for Core Formation Spirit Materials at Osmanthus Hill Golden Abundance Pavilion.

Although he had a Contract with Reverse Spirit Third Master, and after reaching Peak Foundation Establishment Stage, he could obtain a quota to enter the [Profound Heaven Secret Realm], where Core Formation Spirit Materials are produced.

But wasn't that taking a Risk?

If he was Able To Use Spirit Stones to buy, why Risk fighting with people to snatch them?

But even Golden Abundance Pavilion would not constantly store a batch of Core Formation Spirit Materials waiting for people to buy. Once such Rare Treasures are obtained, they would hold an Auction House to sell them at a high price.

After Wang Yu and the Steward had experienced many Third Grade Spirit Material Trades, their Relationship became stable, and the Steward then agreed to Help get one over, with a bottom price of one million Spirit Stones, not even guaranteeing whether it was Suitable.

Whether it was Suitable or not, Wang Yu didn't really care, he was still far from Core Formation.

The reason why he had to get his hands on it was to use it for exchange.

The higher a Cultivator's Cultivation Realm, their Needs for various Rare Treasures not only do not decrease but increase. Sometimes, the Treasures obtained after going through untold hardships are completely useless to oneself.

Selling them for Spirit Stones always felt like a loss.

At this time, various Treasure Exchange Meets came into being. They are generally hosted by respected Seniors, and held within the Cultivators' respective small Social circles.

They could then exchange for the Treasures they urgently needed from others.

Mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial.

This method was also passed down from Taihu Spirit Domain. In recent years, the Number of extreme Demonic Cultivators has become increasingly small. They have discovered that the Efficiency of profiting from Slaughter is too low and not long-term.

Naturally, they became smarter, and various Treasure Exchange Meets also became increasingly prosperous, forming distinct social circles.

In the future, if there was an Opportunity, Wang Yu could use Core Formation Spirit Materials to exchange for Core Formation Spirit Materials, a win-win situation, why not do it?

This was also one way he utilized his excessive Spirit Stones.

The core area of the Central District, not far from the City Lord's Mansion, was the Famous Golden Abundance Pavilion. This merchant guild's business was not only in the Crimson Kite Demon Domain, but even in the Great Lake region, it was a giant!

Wang Yu hurried over, and the Osmanthus Hill Branch Pavilion Building Lord naturally personally received him.

"Brother Wang, shall we go inside to talk?"

"Naturally, thank you for your Help, Brother Qian."

Golden Abundance Pavilion was considered the second largest Buildings in Osmanthus Hill City, built According To the atrium high-rise building style. The First Level was designed with counters on both sides and a passage in the middle.

Convenient for Cultivators to enter and directly stroll from the left side around to the right side to exit. They are basically Spirit Objects of the Qi Condensation Stage.

Starting from the second floor are boutique counters, involving Foundation Establishment Treasures.

Starting from the third floor are private rooms, which are both windows for acquiring Spirit Objects in the Hands of Independent Cultivators, and platforms for holding various Treasure Exchange Meets.

Occasionally, when Golden Abundance Pavilion holds an Auction House, these rooms are also private rooms for distinguished guests to bid.

The atrium in the middle is perfect for holding Auction Houses.

Looking down at the Auction Items from a high place can provide participants with a sense of Control, easily making them get carried away.

Golden Abundance Pavilions in Red Kite and other places are basically of this style.

Only the uses of the upper floors are slightly different. For example, in prefecture cities, the third floor involves Treasures of the Core Formation Level, and the fourth floor is private rooms.

Cultivators who have spent money at Golden Abundance Pavilion, no matter where they go, when they come in to purchase things, they will have a familiar feeling. Male Cultivators especially like this "familiarity of home".

As long as they don't encounter problems such as being out of stock, they will not easily switch to another store for Spending.

This Branch Pavilion in Osmanthus Hill City, at most, only involves the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But occasionally, Third-Order Spirit Items also appear. Wang Yu, as a big client, his network of relationships has risen all the way from the Steward to the Branch Pavilion Lord, providing the other party with Not Few Performance.

On the rooftop, Building Lord Qian had already prepared a table of delicacies.

"Thanks to you, brother, Qian will soon be transferred to the Branch Pavilion in You Province. You have helped me greatly. Fifty years of Performance has been completed by you alone."

Wang Yu: "... Congratulations... Congratulations!"

He had something he didn't know if he should say.

If you leave, isn't my Management of our Relationship wasted? A blood loss!

Building Lord Qian had the Image of a middle-aged man, with a figure-eight mustache, wearing a Wide-Sleeved Robe that matched the Golden Abundance Pavilion's aura, woven with gold thread and inlaid with gemstones, and wearing a blindingly bright Golden Toad Crown on his head.

His hands were full of Space Rings. You should know that this thing is standard equipment for Core Formation Cultivators, and what Building Lord Qian had in his hands was not entry-level goods.

Just this outfit alone.

It wouldn't be strange if he was robbed by a Nascent Soul Old Demon when he went out.

At this time, Building Lord Qian raised a toast, and said.

"Brother, don't worry, the person taking over as Osmanthus Hill Branch Pavilion Lord is my sister-in-law, from the Jin Family Direct Lineage. I have told her about brother's matter, and she will definitely continue to Help you search for Spirit Objects."

Wang Yu nodded upon hearing this. It was good to have a successor, it wasn't a waste of effort. As for the Jin Family, they were the real owners of Golden Abundance Pavilion.

It seems this Building Lord Qian married a good woman.

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, they finally got down to business.

"Brother, please take a look—"

"Third Grade Spirit Material · Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Jade, Third Grade Spirit Material · Cold Moon Pearl, just these two items alone are worth five hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Wang Yu felt a slight emotional stirring in his heart, but was even more looking forward to the next item.

"Core Formation Spirit Material · Life-Sustaining Treasure Branch."

A Treasure worth more than a million Spirit Stones!
