Zhao Kangping said indifferently: "That's it, you can ask me to wash the sheep."

Next they were taken to a hall where there was a huge round table with a diameter of about three meters.

However, such a large table is equipped with ten chairs, and the distance between the two chairs is very far, making it look particularly spacious.

Zhao Kangping counted and found that there were exactly ten people here, including him and Qin Lingxuan.

So they were the last two to arrive.

He looked at the people present. Besides the two of them, there were five men and three women.

Zhao Kangping originally wanted to observe these people one by one.

But when his eyes swept over a woman, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a white deer mask, with long hair as white as snow, and dressed in colorful clothes.

No way, could it be Master?

What is she doing here?

Chapter 371 Intelligence Trade Fair

Zhao Kangping found an empty seat and sat down, only to find that the table was really big.

Its diameter was three zhang, or ten meters. After sitting down, even the people sitting next to each other were a long way away.

As luck would have it, he was sitting next to the woman who was suspected to be his master.

He looked at her a few times, but she ignored him.

"Don't look around!" Suddenly a majestic old man's voice came.

This voice seemed to have the power to shock the soul. He was in a trance for a moment before sitting upright.

Zhao Kangping could feel that the old man who made the sound had a higher level of cultivation than him, but it was limited and did not exceed the level of the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Only then did he notice that there was a crystal skull in the middle of the round table, and the sound came from it.

When it didn't make any sound, he thought it was just a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be a mouthpiece.

"We have a new face today. Newcomer, you can briefly explain your needs. We can get intelligence here, and we can also sell intelligence."

"If you have something that is inconvenient to sell elsewhere, you can also sell it here."

The Crystal Skull probably also realized Zhao Kangping's strength, and its tone became much kinder.

If the one who came was a young monk with low cultivation level, he would probably be intimidated by him.

What he said about it being inconvenient to sell elsewhere was actually a euphemism.

To put it simply, these are things obtained through improper means, such as stolen goods from murder and robbery. These things often have tracking marks.

Even if these marks are removed, some things can still be easily recognized by people based solely on their function or appearance, thus causing a lot of trouble.

Yunyan Pavilion has a way to avoid such troubles, but the price is that Yunyan Pavilion will take 50% of the profits after the sale.

It sounds shady, but compared to the potential risks of selling through other channels, this price is worth it for peace of mind.

"I'm here to get some information." Zhao Kangping said concisely.

As he spoke, he glanced at the other people present.

Most of the people were nothing special, but there was a thin man who dressed like a scholar. He had an evil aura and did not seem to be a righteous cultivator.

He is probably a demon cultivator, or an evil cultivator.

His mask also depicts a pale-faced scholar, and his code name is Scholar.

He didn't pay much attention to the other men, but as for the women, he took a few more glances.

In addition to Qin Lingxuan and the woman in colorful clothes who was suspected to be her master, there were two other women at the scene.

One of the women had messy hair and was wearing very simple clothes. She looked like a country girl who came to the market.

She wore a calico cat mask and called herself Little Cat.

The other woman, wearing a white rabbit mask, looked somewhat familiar; her codename was Little Rabbit. Zhao Kangping immediately thought of the rabbit demon Yuluo he had seen before, who always accompanied his master.

Anyone present who is a new face will briefly introduce themselves.

This also let Zhao Kangping know some things.

He was not the only newcomer. The little cat and the scholar were also here for the first time.

It seems that this is not the first time that the woman who is suspected to be the master has come here.

The intelligence trade fair organized by Yunyan Pavilion is held every day, but the number of people coming each time is not fixed, but it will never exceed twenty people at most.

Only those holding Yunyan Pavilion passes were allowed to participate in their intelligence exchanges.

There are not many ways to obtain a pass, and most of them are transferred by acquaintances.

Qin Lingxuan's pass was inherited from her father.

After making many transactions with Yunyan Pavilion, she exchanged a piece of information for another pass. This kind of pass is limited to one per person.

She has the right to dispose of this pass, and now she lends it to Zhao Kangping.

Because Yunyan Pavilion only recognizes the sign, not the person. If someone obtains the pass by killing the original pass holder, Yunyan Pavilion will also allow the new pass holder to enter.

In the past, many people have killed people in order to obtain such a pass.

But Yunyan Pavilion has rules. If there is a fight, it must not involve Yunyan Pavilion. It is best to fight far away.

Otherwise, if their gathering place is damaged, or subsequent vendettas are triggered, dragging Yunyan Pavilion into the situation, they will certainly not let the person who did it suffer.

In addition to teaching a lesson, the pass will also be taken back.

Now after Zhao Kangping has used up this pass, he has to return it to Qin Lingxuan.

The Crystal Skull explained the rules here to the newcomers, which were actually all told to Qin Lingxuan and Zhao Kangping.

After that, the trade fair began.

"Okay, now let's start handing over the intelligence we've found."

As the old man with the skull finished speaking, the skull floated up and blue ghost fire lit up in its two eye sockets.

At this moment, Zhao Kangping noticed that many people present sat up straight and cast their eyes towards the skull.

"First, Black-Faced Ghost, the information you requested is contained within this scroll. Please confirm it. If there are no problems, please pay the fee."

As he spoke, an ancient scroll appeared out of thin air and floated towards a burly man wearing a black devil mask.

The big man took the scroll and used his spiritual sense to explore the contents inside. He seemed a little shocked and pounded the table excitedly.

"A traitorous bastard..." He was a little emotional and couldn't stop talking for a moment. He was obviously scolding someone.

Even people who didn't know the situation could tell that he was gritting his teeth and had a ferocious look under his mask.

Then he calmed himself down and took out a bronze mirror with flowing precious light from his storage ring. It was a fifth-level magic weapon.

The black-faced ghost pushed the magic mirror, and it flew towards the crystal skull and stopped in front of it.

A blue light shot out from the eye sockets of the skull and swept across the bronze mirror.

The crystal skull said, "Very good. It does have the effects and grade you described. The deal is concluded."

The man called the Black-Faced Ghost held the scroll tightly in his hand. Soon the scroll began to burn fiercely in the man's hand and eventually turned into ashes.

"Thank you. I'll be leaving first." The Black-Faced Ghost got the information he wanted, and there was nothing else for him to do. He stood up and hurriedly left the round table.

Zhao Kangping subconsciously glanced at the woman in colorful clothes. She remained motionless, still staring at the crystal skull, and never looked at him. It was as if she didn't recognize him. But if it was her, how could she not recognize him with her cultivation level?

Most likely, she was just pretending not to know him.

Even though they had broken up, he didn't care about her as much as before, but he would still pay attention to her whenever they met.

The woman next to her was indeed Lan Ruoyu, and she also recognized Zhao Kangping.

But she had no intention of recognizing him, not only because Yunyan Pavilion did not allow traders to communicate during the trade fair, but also because she didn't know how to face him.

Not long ago, Zhao Kangping disturbed her mind, and the Taihao Ruthless Sword realm she had cultivated with great difficulty regressed, so she had to start over.

Practicing this sword technique requires a rare spiritual medicine. She spent a lot of effort to find such a spiritual medicine.

It is more difficult to find it now than before.

She came here just to find out where this elixir could be found.

If she were to search on her own, it would be extremely time-consuming and might take several years. Unfortunately, she didn't have that much time to wait.

The information from Yunyan Pavilion has always been highly credible, which is also the basis of their foothold in the world of immortal cultivation.

If they engage in fraud, it would be tantamount to destroying their reputation.

After passing two more people, we arrived at Lan Ruoyu.

"Bai Lu, this is the information you want." The skull said in a gloomy and leaky voice.

A scroll then floated in front of Lan Ruoyu. She also scanned the scroll with her spiritual sense and instantly knew the contents inside.

"Three months ago, a cave dwelling left behind by a fusion-stage cultivator appeared on Fulong Island in the East China Sea. Within it, a delicate heart-searching lotus was discovered."

"After several rounds of competition, the Linglong Heart-Searching Lotus was obtained by a disciple of the Xianyun Sect."

"After investigation, this spiritual medicine has been handed over to the sect by the disciple and is sealed in the sect's treasury."

After reading the above content, Lan Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she should be thankful that it wasn't in the hands of some old monster.

Otherwise, she would have to think of other solutions.

Xianyun Sect.

This was such a coincidence, it saved her a lot of effort.

It seems that I have to go find her best friend again.

"Are you sure this thing hasn't been used yet?" Lan Ruoyu asked worriedly.

Skull: "I can't be sure about that. At least at the time we checked, it was still sealed."

Linglong Wenxin Lotus has many uses. It can be used to make pills or taken directly, but only cultivators above the Void Refinement Stage can use it.

In the Xianyun Sect, only the former Sect Master, Nangong Ruyun, had reached the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. The others were far behind, and the current Sect Master, Qi Honglian, was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, so she definitely wouldn't need this item.

But Lan Ruoyu was still worried, so she asked that question.

"Okay, I understand." The woman put away the scroll.

Then a set of array plates made of colored glass appeared in her hands, with a rosy glow on them. Even cultivators who did not understand array formations could guess that it was definitely an extremely high-grade array.

"Very good, Fellow Daoist Bai Lu's attainments in formations are truly rare in the world."

"Are you interested in in-depth cooperation with Yunyan Pavilion?"

After inspecting the array plate, Skull was shocked by its quality, which was 50% higher than his expectations.

Even the cultivator who is most proficient in formations in Yunyan Pavilion is inferior to him.

Yunyan Pavilion has a wide range of influence. If she can be tied to them, it may be easier for her to obtain some important information.

To be honest, Lan Ruoyu was indeed moved for a moment.

But she accidentally noticed a pair of eyes staring at her.

Needless to say, it was Zhao Kangping, but she deliberately avoided his gaze.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I am used to being free and don't like being bound." She still refused.

If she agreed, she would indeed gain great benefits, but she had her own things to do and did not have the extra energy to join a force.

As she spoke, she slightly released her Fusion Stage aura, causing the expressions of the others present to change slightly.

The highest level of other people here is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage. When she did not reveal her cultivation level, many people did not know that there was such a great and powerful person sitting next to her without showing off.

The people on the Skull Head side also understood her strength. This was not someone he could handle, so he had to give up trying to win her over. Otherwise, it would be bad if he ended up making things worse.

Lan Ruoyu stood up from her seat. After knowing the information she wanted, there was no need to stay here anymore.

The woman in the white rabbit mask walked up to her side, and the two figures quickly faded away. It took everyone a few seconds to realize that they were gone.

Master passed him by again.
