Chapter 509: News Obtained

"Senior Li!"

Jinguang came to Su Fan's cave dwelling again, appearing somewhat excited. For three years, he had been contacting Su Fan, but there had been no response, so he knew that it was likely the other party was in closed-door cultivation.

For high-level cultivators, one closed-door cultivation could very well pass for ten-plus years, so three years was a very normal thing.

"Fellow Daoist Jin."

Su Fan looked at the other party's slightly respectful tone and greeted him very calmly. Ever since he took out the Purple Cloud Pill last time, the other party's attitude toward him had changed.

The Purple Cloud Pill was a third-tier high-grade spirit pill. An Alchemist capable of refining Purple Cloud Pills already had one foot stepped into the ranks of fourth-tier Alchemists.

A fourth-tier Alchemist was an Alchemy Master in the cultivation world, not the third-tier Alchemy Master Zheng State thought.

A fourth-tier Alchemist, placed in the cultivation world, was already at the high level. Even sects at the hegemon level would not easily ignore a fourth-tier Alchemist.

After all, many Golden Core cultivators would treat a fourth-tier Alchemist as an honored guest.

Being able to refine Purple Cloud Pills meant being a reserve Alchemy Master. Even those Golden Core cultivators under major forces were cautious.

Jinguang was just a Purple Mansion rogue cultivator. Although he had pulled together a not-weak team over these years, the strongest in the team was himself, a seventh-level Purple Mansion cultivator.

Facing Su Fan, this reserve Alchemy Master, he simply couldn't compare. Respect was a matter of course.

"Senior Li, the news about the Mysterious Yang Warm Jade you asked me to check last time has been obtained."

"Oh! Is this true?"

Su Fan was overjoyed upon hearing this. In major countries like Wu Guo, Mysterious Yang Warm Jade was not lacking, but these treasures required for opening the Purple Mansion were all controlled by those major forces.

Su Fan, this outsider, simply couldn't inquire about them.

Wanting to inquire about news from those chambers of commerce, with just his sixth-level Purple Mansion cultivation, it was simply impossible unless he exposed his alchemy level.

But this did not conform to his previous plan.

So he thought of Jinguang, this local snake. After all, this person had been in Wu Guo for one or two hundred years, so he must have some channels that would make it easier for him to inquire about news.

Sure enough, his thinking was correct. In just a few years, the other party had obtained the news he wanted.

"Senior Li, I learned from a fellow Daoist before that there is a Mysterious Yang Warm Jade in the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce in Dongying City."

"Dongying City?"

Su Fan knew very little about Wu Guo.

"Yes, this Dongying City is a cultivation city in the southern part of Wu Guo, a fourth-tier market controlled by the Profound Heaven Sect..."

"Profound Heaven Sect."

Su Fan knew this sect, a sect second only to the Wu Guo hegemon, the Yuanding Sect. The sect had four Nascent Soul cultivators, and the strongest Supreme Elder was said to be a great cultivator at the late stage of Nascent Soul.

The sect's strength was not weak, and it was allied with the Green Wood Sect to confront the Yuanding Sect together.

The Profound Heaven Sect's sphere of influence was mainly distributed in the southern region of Wu Guo.

"Tell me about this Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce?"

Su Fan had heard the name of the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce; in Huo Ling Cheng, there were shops established by the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce.

But it was limited to just hearing the name; Su Fan knew nothing about detailed intelligence.

Fortunately, Jinguang, this local snake, was different. He quickly said everything he knew.

At this moment, Su Fan also knew what kind of thing this Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce was. This was a large-scale commercial organization composed of multiple chambers of commerce.

Not only was it active in the Southern Wilderness Continent, but it also had traces in the Tiannan Continent next to the Southern Wilderness Continent. This was a cross-continental commercial force.

Its strength was powerful, and even the hegemon-level Yuanding Sect of the Southern Wilderness Continent did not dare to easily provoke it. It was said that the Nascent Soul cultivators behind this Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce were fully over a dozen.

Of course, whether it was true or not, Jinguang didn't know; after all, his level was too low.

But this chamber of commerce had stations in various markets in Wu Guo. In Huo Ling Cheng, there were several super-large building shops.

One could see the strength of this Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce.

Perhaps the local forces of Wu Guo were wary of or hostile to the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, but for Su Fan, he didn't care. Instead, he was even more overjoyed.

The stronger the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, the more complete the things inside, and the easier it would be to obtain the things he wanted.

It was nothing more than spending a bit more spirit stones.

And as for spirit stones, he had just brought back nearly 100,000 spirit stones from the Su Family, and there were ten second-tier spirit peaches, so he was not lacking in spirit stones at all.

The market price of Mysterious Yang Warm Jade was only around 60,000 or 70,000. What he lacked was just a channel.

Now Jinguang had brought him the news, so next, he would go to Dongying City and contact that chamber of commerce.

As for what price he had to pay, Su Fan believed that a Mysterious Yang Warm Jade didn't need too great a price, and it wasn't an auxiliary treasure for Golden Core formation.

If it weren't for fear of trouble, actually, waiting thirty years for the auction held by Huo Ling Cheng, the Mysterious Yang Warm Jade would inevitably be at the auction.

"Do you think this Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce will sell the Mysterious Yang Warm Jade?"

Su Fan looked at Jinguang and asked.

"Yes! Why wouldn't they sell? They are a chamber of commerce. As long as you can afford the price, they will definitely sell. The treasure I used to open the Purple Mansion before, although not purchased from the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, was also from a chamber of commerce."

"These chambers of commerce are all birds of a feather. As long as there are enough spirit stones, they don't care who you are."

Jinguang naturally knew what Su Fan was worried about. Like auxiliary treasures for opening the Purple Mansion, all parties would control them and wouldn't easily sell them to outsiders. Even if they sold them, they would attach various requirements.

Only during auctions would there be no conditions, and the highest bidder would get it.

However, these chambers of commerce were different. They were completely doing business. If you had money, it was fine; they didn't care about your identity.

He had long felt this point. This was also why local sects would be hostile to these chambers of commerce, because the appearance of these chambers of commerce would make those sects lose many means.

Su Fan nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Jin to accompany me to Dongying City."

"Haha! It's nothing. Being able to accompany Senior Li is my honor."

Hearing this, Jinguang nodded hurriedly. Although accompanying the other party for a trip would waste a bit of time, if it were an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator, he wouldn't pay any attention at all.

But Su Fan was a reserve Alchemy Master. Befriending him was a huge good thing for him and his hunting team.

So now, he would do his best to fulfill any request from the other party.

Su Fan naturally knew the other party's thoughts. The other party wanted to curry favor with him. He knew this very well, and he didn't care. In his eyes, these people were good peripheral personnel.

Jinguang's small team had no lack of ability or strength. If he could absorb them into the Su Family, that would be even better. ===== CHAPTER 510 =====
