Create your own messaging channel?
Chu Chen was a little moved by this.
In the past, he was just a young monk who had just entered the world of spiritual practice. His practice was shallow and he was unknown. He only served as a minor immortal official in the Immortal Court and the Department of Ghosts and Gods. He did not need to consider cultivating his own circle of influence and establishing his own intelligence and information network.
And now his "Five-Sense Yuanjun" of the eighth level of Taoism has enlightened four of them, and the seventh level of Taoism is getting closer and closer.
In Immortal Court, he also became an eighth-grade immortal official and served as deputy leader of the County Ghost and God Division.
From all aspects, he is currently in a stage of accumulating strength and waiting to explode.
In order to have a smooth practice in the future, it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day and make arrangements in advance.
As expected of a descendant of an aristocratic family!
Chu Chen looked at his friend Wang Ping beside him and felt quite emotional. .
Being from a good family background often takes advantage of you.
How could a helpless little cultivator have so many ideas and think so long-term? A lot of troubles in front of him can entangle most of his energy, making it impossible to spare any effort.
Even if there is one, it has just emerged and is quickly stumped by many practical problems.
To build your own intelligence network, you need connections and expenses.
Xianting does not reimburse expenses and relies entirely on its own expenses, which most people cannot afford.
"Brother Wang, how much did it cost you to bribe the spies?"
Chu Chen asked key questions.
Wang Ping pondered for a while and said:
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the initial cost is relatively high. After all, I have just come into contact with the spies, and both parties do not trust me enough, so I can only use money to pave the way. In the past ten days, I have spent twenty to thirty thousand jade, and then I went to various places in Longling Mountain. The city has an informant."
Chu Chen was speechless secretly.
Wang Ping was really generous, spending 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in one go, which was certainly not something a poor guy like me could afford.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt a sense of poverty in his heart.
He still owes Princess Qingying thirty thousand jade!
Seeing Chu Chen's surprise, Wang Ping smiled and explained:
"The follow-up expenses are actually not much. We will only pay the reward if the other party has information. If you don't work, you won't be paid, so it won't cost much."
"That's true."
Chu Chen nodded and felt a little calmer, but even so, he couldn't afford it. He didn't have the initial capital to cast a wide net in the early stage.
"Actually, if you have connections, you don't need to spend much at all."
Wang Ping was quite emotional, with a look of regret on his face: "My family and sect don't have much strength in Guangping County, and I don't have deep connections in the local area, so I spent my own money to bribe the spies. Otherwise, there is no need to spend too much."
After saying that, Wang Ping winked at Chu Chen and smiled ambiguously:
"Brother Chu, you don't need to deliberately manage and collect information. Looking at the entire Qingzhou, in terms of information, who can beat the Dilong Alliance? You have a close relationship with Princess Ying. You can ask him for information. There is no need to work hard to bribe him. Spy."
"Nonsense! How can you say something like this casually!"
Chu Chen gave him a roll of his eyes.
He had already seen how well-informed the dragon girl Qingying was.
Looking at the entire Qingzhou, in terms of intelligence, no one can compare to the Earth Dragon Alliance.
Earth Dragon Lord's power is spread throughout Qingzhou, whether it is white, black, or gray areas, the Earth Dragon Alliance can intervene, and the information is well-informed.
But here comes the problem.
The biggest reason why the Earth Dragon Alliance is so prosperous, apart from having the Dragon Lord at its command, is that it is neutral and unbiased, so it can get along well with all parties and get along like a fish in water.
The business of Dilong's major ghost markets is booming now, and they are sought after by all parties.
Dragon Girl Qingying, as a Dragon Girl, is also considered a high-ranking member of the Earth Dragon Alliance, so she naturally has to uphold the principle of neutrality.
Chu Chen usually asked Qingying for other news, but this was nothing.
But if he inquired about the demon wanted by the Immortal Court, he would be in trouble.
Qingying refused, and both parties were embarrassed.
If someone really gave him the information, if the matter was exposed in the future, the reputation of the Dilongmeng Chamber of Commerce would be damaged and the ghost market business would be affected, which would affect Qingying.
When interacting with others, you must be sincere, know how to measure, respect each other's position, and seek common ground while reserving differences.
Chu Chen thought about it for a while and immediately gave up the idea of asking Qingying for information about "the wanted monster in the fairy court".
However, Wang Ping's words inspired Chu Chen.
When operating an intelligence network, not only money leads the way, but personal connections also lead the way.
The first basic plan is the family and the sect.
Chu Chen's background and sect are not as good as Wang Ping's, but he still has a lot of influence, and he can definitely draw on his strength.
Master, don't worry, just find the master after you leave the office.
Chu Chen went straight back to the Chen Mansion and found Chen's father.
Chen's father, Chen Jia, was very happy to see his son coming first.
Chu Chen chatted with his father for a while first.
The father and son soon mentioned their younger brother Pengju.
After the "Pink Skeleton Case" was solved, his younger brother Pengju was deeply shocked when he learned that the gentle and talented "intimate sister" in his mind was actually harboring evil intentions and only wanted to gain his Yang Qi.
Fortunately, when I later learned that the ghost behind the beauty in the "Picture Album" was controlled by a locust tree demon, and was forced to do so, my younger brother Pengju felt a little better.
Chen's father, Chen Jia, first told Pengju that his "intimate sister" was saved by the Ghosts and Gods Division and went to the underworld in order to be reincarnated.
As a result, the younger brother Pengju gradually let go, cheered up, and studied hard.
When Chu Chen heard this, he sighed in his heart.
He was the one who saved the ghosts. He knew full well that his younger brother Pengju's "intimate sister" had been affected by the war and had long been wiped out.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't feel uncomfortable and didn't even mention it. Instead, he talked about his purpose and asked Chen's father for help.
After asking, the Chen family did have caravans and shops in various places in Guangping County and Longling Mountain, and they were well-informed.
When Chen's father learned about Chu Chen's intention, he was naturally very supportive.
Without saying a word, he introduced the leader of the Chen family's caravan, the shop owner and others to Chu Chen one by one.
In this way, Chu Chen initially mastered a news channel, and it was free.
As expected, the Lingshan sect of the master sect can also get a news channel.
In addition, if Chu Chen wants to have other news channels, he has to manage them himself.
Needless to say, money was the way to go, but it didn't work. He was very poor recently and had no money to search for information in major ghost markets, nor to bribe spies and the like.
He has to rely on personal connections.
Chu Chen first thought of the little fox fairy Dai Yan.
The other party gave him the "Little Fox Immortal Daiyan Dafa" to steal the Immortal's business and use him to practice Qigong.
Naturally, Chu Chen could make a request and ask the little fox fairy Daiyan to help him collect information about the "wanted demon".
Wouldn't it be wonderful if both parties benefit from each other and cultivate their merits together? One day we can go to Penglai together and become immortals and ancestors!
Thinking of this, Chu Chen left Chen's house quite excitedly, planning to communicate with the little fox fairy after returning to Yunshui Residence and set up a third message channel.
Well, it's another news channel that can be used for free.
Just as he was about to leave Chen's house, the concierge called him hastily and respectfully reported that someone was looking for him.
"What do you want from me?"
Outside the Chen Mansion, Chu Chen looked at the man dressed as a caravan warrior with curiosity on his face.
"The younger one is from the Tao Family Nursing Home in Lanyu Town. I came to find you on the orders of the master. I went to Yunshui Residence but saw no one, so I came to the Chen Mansion..."
The man dressed as a martial artist first announced his identity, then mysteriously whispered:
"Master Immortal, I said... it... it came to you and asked you to go to Sapphire Town."
