"Yes, I want to...well...I want to ask you about the two sects of the Divine Sword Sect and the Snow Mountain Sect, about their interactions with the outside world and the visitors within the sects in the past two years." Tian Jihong pondered for a moment. said.
This was certainly not a problem that Tianjihong had prepared for at the beginning. He originally planned to directly entrust Wang Qing to find the traces of his father and mother at the risk of his identity being discovered. But in this way, the other party may immediately associate his surname with it. Without knowing whether Wang Qing will keep his promise to sell his information to other forces, the risk to himself is still very high, at least. A clue was soon left in Wang Qing's hands.
However, after receiving the news he had just obtained from the file, Tian Jihong immediately changed his mind and began to inquire about the possible whereabouts of his parents. Although such large-scale spying on big forces' intelligence is also risky, and definitely more difficult and expensive, at least his identity will not be exposed to an intelligence dealer like Wang Qing in the short term.
"Oh? This is not an easy task. You will really give me a problem. Not to mention that these two sects are not on our Northwest Martial Continent. Just within the scope of their influence, for me, The investigation of general intelligence spies is quite strict, and it is extremely difficult to get information from them."
These few words are not entirely Wang Qing's deliberate attempt to raise the price. For example, the Divine Sword Sect, a behemoth located in the southern region of the Seibu Continent, is not far behind in terms of strength compared to the Shigure Sect. Nei Yuzong was like a real emperor to the Northwest Martial Arts. All forces had always dealt with serious crimes against spies who wantonly probed into the affairs of their subordinates.
As for the Snow Mountain Sect, it is even more difficult to deal with. Not to mention the distant Tobu Continent, the Snow Mountain, together with Qipan Mountain, Tianshen Mountain, Ancient Desolate Forest, Qulin Lake and Death Desert, are also known as the six greatest Jedi in the continent. According to legend, they are Within the coverage area, affected by the mighty power of the peerless powerful men in ancient times, the mountains are covered with snow all year round. There are also forbidden areas such as the Luoshen Stream and the Ice Prison Labyrinth that even monks are afraid of.
What Tianjihong didn't know was that the Snow Mountain Sect, which was located deep in the Snowy Mountains, had considered itself a reclusive sect for a long time. It had long been separated from the disputes with the outside world and had not been concerned with worldly affairs all year round. To find out information about such a force, it would be hundreds of times more difficult than the Divine Sword Sect. This is why Wang Qing, who has always been known as a know-it-all, is in such trouble.
"There is no need for detailed matters within the sect. I just want to know whether any outsiders with reputations in the martial arts world have visited the two major sects in the past year and a half. I wonder, Brother Wang, can you get such information?" Tianjihong also quickly noticed the other party's hesitant expression and quickly added.
"Okay, if that's all it is, it can be done. Well, give me a week to sort out the relationship first. I have the impression that there is a capable person in [Beiyue City] who specializes in probing for such information. It seems that There are acquaintances placed in various sects, so I’d better ask you to come here to find me." Wang Qing thought for a moment and finally agreed. Tianjihong was also very satisfied to see that the other party did not pursue the root cause of his actions. After asking, it seems that the other party did abide by the rules in the transaction.
"But you have to be mentally prepared. For such complex and large-scale information, my fees are too high." Wang Qing also reminded immediately, "When you come over in a week, remember to prepare a deposit. The fee will be at least Above five gold coins, the final price will be negotiated based on the information later. I wonder if Brother Tianji can accept this price?"
Tianjihong couldn't help but take a breath when he heard such a number. He had only been exposed to the concept of gold coins when he lived with his parents in Nanyue Village. After coming to Donglin Village with his younger brother for the past two years, the combined living expenses of the two of them were less than a hundred silver coins. If it weren't for the dozens of gold coins left by his parents for him, Tianjihong would really have lived there at this time. I don't have the confidence to accept this commission.
But no matter how high the cost is, Tianjihong has to seize this rare opportunity no matter what, even if there is even a glimmer of possibility. "Okay, the cost is not an issue. I just ask Brother Wang not to disclose the entrustment to outsiders. Otherwise, it will attract the attention of these two sects, and it will be difficult for me to get rid of the involvement. I'm afraid that you and I will suffer."
"Don't worry about this. You may see me laughing and joking on weekdays, but when it comes to business, I am absolutely unambiguous. If you can't protect customer privacy, then there is no need to continue in this industry. ." Wang Qing said with assurance, and Tianjihong could only nod his head and place his hopes on this guy.
"Okay, to show my sincerity, I will lead my little brother to pick out a suitable soul power cultivation method. It will also happen to lead you to see the strength of our Tianqing Chamber of Commerce." After that, Wang Qing general came to the room not far behind him. The door was locked firmly, and Tianjihong could see through the gap that the room there was also filled with various files, but the latter were arranged much more neatly than outside. It was obvious that the information stored in the back room was , is the capital that Wang Qing really depends on to make a living now, and it cannot be easily peeked by outsiders.
Under the leadership of Wang Qing, Tianjihong followed him to the third floor of the palace-like hall. Here, it was also like the trade square outside the pavilion, with all kinds of strange products displayed on the counter. However, in contrast, the trading office on the third floor is obviously much more orderly, and most of the traders are members of the chamber of commerce wearing green robes.
As for the products themselves, they are also in line with the style of Tianqing Chamber of Commerce. Tianjihong looked around and saw that not only most of them were books and files related to cultivation or other skills, but also with a little more careful observation, he could find that these magic formulas actually had More than half are from major sects. Such a method that should be a secret among various sects is indeed displayed in such a grand manner for sale in this spacious hall, which is indeed an eye-opener for Tianjihong.
Under Wang Qing's guidance, Tianjihong also searched along the rows of counters. The dazzling array of books made it difficult for him to make a choice. There are not only books related to spiritual power and soul power cultivation here, but also a variety of methods such as formation inscription, elixir refining, ore refining, weapon casting and weapon refining, etc. Tian Jihong, who was dazzled by what he saw, finally had no choice but to restrain his curiosity and concentrate on finding the suitable method for soul power cultivation.
"If Xiao Fei came here with me, I might be able to live here for the rest of my life after seeing these books." Thinking of his younger brother who stayed at home and was obsessed with all kinds of strange ancient books since childhood, a rare trace of sadness appeared on Tian Jihong's face. Smile.
Fortunately, he is not as obsessed with these things as his younger brother. His goal is very clear, which is to find a method that can effectively improve his soul power at this stage. In his hands, he now not only has the three spiritual techniques left by his master, Rokkakino, and even his parents in the cellar, but also has the boxing technique given to him by Mo Juan in terms of martial arts, and even the even more profound secrets of the body-joining technique. My parents have prepared the secrets for me. The only thing he lacks now is the method to improve his soul power.
Tianjihong is well aware of the principle of biting off more than he can chew. Although practicing multiple skills in the martial arts world to compare with each other, it can indeed have a certain improvement effect on improving one's own cultivation. There are even many people in the martial arts world who are distracted and practice two things at the same time. monks who have one or more skills; but these are very rare cases. For Tianjihong, who has just entered the practice, the main body currently operating in the body has the greatest impact on his cultivation and combat power from beginning to end. Kung Fu, this means that the choice of the latter will be crucial.
In terms of Tianjihong's talent, it is inevitable that he will practice multiple techniques in the future, but now that his level is not high, Tianjihong knows that he must focus on one type of technique. When there is room for improvement in subsequent cultivation and the understanding of low-level skills becomes faster, it will not be too late to go back and refer to other auxiliary skills.
It's just that Tian Jihong, a dumb young man, doesn't know what kind of cultivation method is suitable for him at the moment. He can only listen to Wang Qing's explanation all the way.
"...So like I said, when trading in the trade area within the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce, you can only use the contributions from my chamber of commerce as the transaction currency; it's just that you are not a member of the chamber of commerce, and if an outsider goes alone to exchange money for the chamber of commerce's contributions, It would be too much of a loss to buy it. So after you choose the appropriate technique, I will first pay with the contribution from the Chamber of Commerce. Many of them are my acquaintances and customers, so you will definitely be able to get a considerable discount. Then you If you give me the money directly, I guarantee that the exchange ratio will be much lower than in the Chamber of Commerce." Wang Qing didn't care whether Tianjihong was paying attention to what he said, and just continued without pausing.
"It's good if you look at this "Shen-Draining Heart Technique". This technique is spread among a small sect in the Southern Region that is both good and evil. Although its effect seems a bit evil, it is to absorb the soul power of others for one's own benefit. Yes, but for a beginner like you, it is the fastest way to improve your soul power."
Tianjihong looked at it carefully and shook his head slightly. He did not expect to quickly improve his soul power, but rather hoped to lay a solid foundation for subsequent practice. Such a domineering evil sect that can achieve a large amount of improvement in a short period of time has its shortcomings. It is also obvious that relying on absorbing the messy soul consciousness of different people to improve your practice will inevitably leave a lot of sequelae when you reach a high level in the later stages.
"What about this book? "Blazing Flame Technique" - it is through a side method, by placing the soul consciousness in the flame to bake and temper, thereby increasing the speed of condensation of the soul consciousness, and at the same time, the soul power gained through cultivation Being closer to the fire attribute, it can be regarded as the best choice for monks who cultivate fire attribute spiritual power."
