After confirming there were no issues, Chen Xiao then walked into the ancient, dilapidated city where the free trade zone was located.
There weren’t many people inside, probably just a few dozen.
Most were setting up stalls on the ground.
The items displayed on these stalls were supplies they had obtained in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
Chen Xiao took a quick glance, and the items on display didn’t have anything that caught his eye; they were mostly ordinary items without anything special.
"Just now, Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter hurried into the ancient city with the Great Zhou Imperial Family. What exactly happened?"
"I heard that a nearby area has discovered an ancient tomb. It might contain legacies or relics left by a peerless powerful figure from the past!"
"That’s not surprising. The Tianyuan Secret Realm is, after all, the ruins of the Tianyuan Ancient Sect. Historically, many ancient tombs have appeared, and many people have gained opportunities from them."
"Unfortunately, the truly valuable items are not sothing we loose cultivators can contend for..."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and in the midst of it all, Chen Xiao gleaned so crucial information.
"The Shadow Pavilion released this information. It’s likely that Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter went there to verify it."
The Shadow Pavilion is one of the most powerful intelligence organizations in the Outer Domain of the Kunlun Realm. Although it doesn’t have the overwhelming martial might like the three great royal families and the Xuantian Sect, the intelligence it holds is sothing many powerhouses need.
Therefore, more or less, each major faction gives the Shadow Pavilion so respect.
Buying information from them requires a hefty price, but generally speaking, the Shadow Pavilion’s information will leave you satisfied.
Upon learning that there were people from the Shadow Pavilion in this free trading zone, Chen Xiao’s eyes flickered, and then he headed in the direction where the Shadow Pavilion was located.
The ancient city, the location of the Shadow Pavilion.
Chen Xiao entered.
A young man standing at the entrance slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at Chen Xiao, "Buying information or selling?"
"Buying," Chen Xiao said succinctly.
"What information do you want to buy?" the young man asked with a smile.
"I heard that the Tianyuan Forbidden Land has produced Netherworld Fruit a few tis. I want all the information on it."
"The price is a thousand lower grade Spirit Stones," the young man said directly. "We will let you know all the information you want to know."
"So expensive..." Chen Xiao clicked his tongue.
A thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones is definitely not a small amount.
He directly took out a Qiankun Bag and then took ten mid-grade Spirit Stones from it.
"Here are ten mid-grade Spirit Stones, please verify them."
The young man took the Qiankun Bag, and a smile imdiately appeared on his face.
It seems this ti, he really encountered a wealthy custor!
Not even haggling at all.
He said, "Co in, please."
After entering a secret room inside, the young man then said, "Our senior sister knows more about the Netherworld Fruit, so let her explain it to you."
"Very well." Chen Xiao took a seat calmly.
Soon, a woman dressed in purple and wearing a veil walked in from outside, "Do you want to learn about the Netherworld Fruit, sir?"
"Exactly," Chen Xiao said. "Just get straight to the point and tell what you know."
This made the woman in purple smile gently, "You truly are a straightforward person, sir."
She paused and organized her words, "The Shadow Pavilion indeed has a lot of information on the Netherworld Fruit. For now, I will provide you, sir, with so key points."
"First, the Netherworld Fruit does exist within the Tianyuan Secret Realm."
"Second, the growth conditions for the Netherworld Fruit are very harsh. It requires a place where the Yin Evil Qi is very dense to grow and bear fruit properly."
"Third, this place is the site of the Tianyuan Ancient Sect’s ruins, where there is a patch of dense Yin qi and a Netherworld Fruit treasure tree."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao nodded slightly.
This information was satisfactory to him; it was a very clear result.
"Where are the Tianyuan Ancient Sect’s ruins located?"
The woman in purple said, "The Tianyuan Ancient Sect’s ruins do not have a fixed location. Instead, they randomly appear at a place after the Tianyuan Secret Realm opens for a certain period."
"However, entering these ruins is not simple. It requires combat power close to the Heavenly Realm level to pass the tests."
"Previously, those who obtained the Netherworld Fruit had their strengths mostly above the Heavenly Realm."
"What is your cultivation level, sir?"
"Late Transcendent Realm, nothing more," Chen Xiao replied indifferently.
"Then I suggest you, sir, should consider enhancing your strength during this period, as the martial artists who have previously entered the Tianyuan Ancient Sect ruins are very powerful, with many being contests between major forces, led by Heavenly Realm experts."
Upon hearing this advice, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Thank you for informing ."
"You’re welco," the woman in purple smiled and replied, "Although our Shadow Pavilion only sells information, we try to provide so useful advice to our clients."
"By the way, incidentally, we have a joint operation you might be interested in, sir?"
"What do you an?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Here’s the situation: Recently, a powerful person’s tomb was discovered nearby, and the Great Zhou Imperial Family’s Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter wants to gather more people to explore this tomb, so she asked our Shadow Pavilion to help spread the word and recruit more people."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s brows furrowed.
Earlier, he noticed that Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter had only a few people by her side, indicating that the forces of the Great Zhou Imperial Family entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm hadn’t fully gathered yet.
This explains why she wanted to recruit more people to explore the tomb together.
However, to put it nicely, it’s "exploring together."
To put it bluntly, it’s just finding a few cannon fodder to be vanguards.
After contemplating a bit, the people around Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter were only at the Transcendent Realm Peak. Although their abilities were decent, they were far from being able to threaten his life.
If there really is any opportunity in this tomb, then he might consider it. After all, it is a mutual exploitation; it is uncertain yet who will be the cannon fodder.
"Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter has said that those exploring together can share the opportunities," the woman in purple smiled again, "Moreover, Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter is one of the top three peerless beauties on the list of absolute beauties. Doesn’t sir want to get closer to her?"
"That’s true," Chen Xiao laughed heartily, "To die under the peony flower, even becoming a romantic ghost is worthwhile. To be a vanguard for Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter, I’d die a worthy death."
"In that case, please inform Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter that I am willing to participate in this exploration."
His knowledge of the Tianyuan Secret Realm was limited, but coincidentally, there were several martial artists by Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter’s side, which would provide a considerable amount of assistance he could leverage.
If it truly is a powerful person’s tomb, it might indeed contain the opportunity he desired inside.
As for those remarks earlier, he was rely speaking casually.
Although Emperor Xi Yue’s daughter is a peerless beauty, he wasn’t blinded by carnal desires.
