"How much is the Divine Crystal?"
Huo Lingshuang didn’t waste words and directly asked for the price.
Returning to the Immortal Realm was crucial for Lin Chen, and he was willing to give everything he had for it, no matter the cost.
The informant squinted, "On my end, it’s 300,000 Divine Crystals as a hard-earned fee, which includes the expenses of the people I found. Additionally, you need to give the surveillance group leader 3 million Divine Crystals."
The amount wasn’t small, but it wasn’t that much either.
Huo Lingshuang agreed without hesitation, "As long as the matter is settled, there’s no problem."
The informant nodded, "If your Divine Crystals are enough, I can take you to et the surveillance group leader now."
"Alright!"
The informant said, "You have to pay my hard-earned fee first, then prepare 3 million Divine Crystals and just follow my instructions."
Huo Lingshuang straightforwardly paid 300,000 Divine Crystals to the other party without asking any questions, so readily that the man even wondered if he had undercharged.
Huo Lingshuang and the other followed the informant to a spacious estate in the city, t with a fat man, and after whispering a few words to him, the fat man led the two out of Jieye City towards the Heavenly God Departnt.
At the entrance of the Heavenly God Departnt, the fat man showed a token, and the guards at the entrance allowed them to pass directly.
The Heavenly God Departnt covered an extrely large area. The continuous mountain range was filled with majestic palaces and various residences, with huge tal pillars standing everywhere, all adorned with grand statues radiating an aura.
Lin Chen noticed that on each pillar, a person was sitting cross-legged.
Initially, he thought they were statues, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were living people, each collecting their breath, like silent statues.
Huo Lingshuang was also here at the Heavenly God Departnt for the first ti and asked softly, "What are the people on those pillars doing?"
The fat man chuckled, "Those are the Heavenly God Guards of the Heavenly God Departnt, all powerful Saints, taking turns guarding the order of the Heavenly God Departnt."
Lin Chenxin sighed inwardly, no wonder it’s the Heavenly God Departnt!
In one glance, there were at least dozens of huge tal pillar tops, each with a Saint, aning at least dozens of Saints were watching over the Heavenly God Departnt at this mont.
The divine senses of these Saints envelop the every inch of the Heavenly God Departnt. Anyone thinking of doing sothing bad here would likely be discovered as soon as they made a move, and then caught imdiately.
The fat man whispered, "The pillars under the Heavenly God Guards, when combined, form an Array Formation that integrates both attack and defense. With these Heavenly God Guards and the Array Formation, even a Saint would be instantly subdued, losing the ability to resist."
Huo Lingshuang asked in a low voice, "Who is this surveillance group leader? Can you introduce us? In case we make a mistake later and offend soone."
The fat man chuckled, "The Team leader is Deputy Director Jia Ye of the Heavenly God Departnt’s Operations Division. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything; you just need to provide the Divine Crystals. Also, this brother from a different race should be careful when following the surveillance group."
"Although you paid the Divine Crystals and gained entry, you must follow orders. Do what you’re told, or if you make a mistake or anger soone, and they kill you on a whim, you can’t say I didn’t warn you."
"The Divine Crystals you spent only got him into the team for a trip back ho, but that doesn’t an he has a peace charm to do whatever he wants."
Lin Chen replied, "I will obey the rules and definitely won’t act recklessly."
The fat man nodded and led the two, surprisingly brazenly, into the Heavenly God Departnt, where they t Jia Ye in an elegant villa.
Jia Ye resembled a middle-aged man, with a tall and thin figure, emanating an inherent dignity.
The fat man, smiling, cupped his hands, "Brother-in-law!"
Jia Ye made a sound of acknowledgnt, his eyes sweeping over the two, finally resting on Lin Chen’s face.
"Are you the one wanting to go to the Immortal Realm?"
Lin Chen answered respectfully, "Yes."
Jia Ye’s gaze turned icy, "I hear you’re quite familiar with the Immortal and Demon Worlds?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, my Strength in the Immortal Realm is not too bad. I’m friends with the disciple of an Immortal Emperor and know a few other Saints. Though we aren’t close, I’ve had dealings and they recognize ."
Jia Ye calmly said, "I can take you to the Immortal Realm as you might be useful. Once the matter is settled, I can let you return ho for a visit... Are you returning to the Heavenly God Realm later?"
Lin Chen nodded without hesitation, "I have to return."
Jia Ye glanced at Huo Lingshuang, "Three million Divine Crystals is just for taking him back. To bring him back again, there’s an extra charge."
Huo Lingshuang nodded without hesitation, "Alright."
Jia Ye was satisfied with Huo Lingshuang’s attitude, "I’ll give you a discount. A total of 5 million Divine Crystals, I’ll take him there and back, provided he follows orders and works diligently."
"Okay, thank you, Senior."
Huo Lingshuang took out 5 million Divine Crystals and handed them to Jia Ye.
Jia Ye took the Divine Crystals and handed Lin Chen a token with a flick of his wrist.
"Currently, the Withered Wood Clan is still unprepared, so it will be a few days before departure. Next month on the first, at noon, the team will depart from the Heavenly God Departnt Teleportation Platform. At that ti, use this token to enter and find at the Teleportation Platform. Don’t be late, or no one will wait for you."
Lin Chen maintained a respectful attitude, "Understood, I will arrive early."
Jia Ye waved them off, "Alright, you may return. Just co over when the ti cos."
The fat man, smiling with squinted eyes, bid farewell to Jia Ye and led the two out of the Heavenly God Departnt and back to Jieye City.
Back at the fat man’s place, the fat man laughed, "I took your money, and the matter is done. If there’s anything you need in the future, just co find . As long as the Divine Crystals are sufficient, there are basically no unsolvable problems."
Huo Lingshuang thanked him again and then left.
"I didn’t expect this fat man to be a relative of the Deputy Director of the Heavenly God Departnt’s Operations Division. This supre place of the Heavenly God Departnt can also be navigated with Divine Crystals, sothing I wouldn’t have believed before."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Small officials have small greed, big officials have big greed, everyone has so sort, if you put it nicely it’s all about favors, but think about it, those informants being able to do business right under the Heavenly God Departnt without trouble shows they must have soone backing them."
Huo Lingshuang nodded, "The various big shots in the Heavenly God Departnt hold key positions and use their positions to make money. They can’t act personally, so such middlen are very useful, and the one we first found must be the most grassroots informant."
"They trade information, solicit business, then find the corresponding middlen for the needed connections, and through the middlen, get in touch with the big shots of the Heavenly God Departnt. The big ones earn big money, the small ones earn small, everyone benefits."
"Like with Jia Ye taking a trivial mber of the Human Clan, he charged 5 million Divine Crystals. If he took a few more, wouldn’t it be easy to get tens of millions of Divine Crystals? That would be enough to buy a Holy-grade Demon Beast Spirit."
Lin Chen chuckled, "That’s a good thing, if not for their greed, how would I have the opportunity to return ho?"
