Zhao Kangping felt complicated and emotional. He had searched for her everywhere before but couldn't find her. But now he saw her several times in a short time. However, he no longer felt any joy.
After all, his mood changed.
"We have concluded our previous investigation. The next step is to share the information you wish to investigate."
"Scholar, let's start with you."
The old man's majestic voice sounded again.
Suddenly, a piece of parchment appeared in front of the scholar, along with a wolf-hair brush.
This was not the scholar's first time here, so he knew what to do. He picked up a brush and wrote down his request on the parchment.
However, the strange thing was that the other people around him could not see what he wrote on the paper at all.
The pens, ink, paper and inkstone here are not ordinary items. When writing, only the person himself can see it.
After writing, the scholar pushed the parchment and it automatically flew towards the skull.
The skull scanned the contents of the parchment with just a thought.
Immediately, the crystal skull's jaws opened and closed, and a sinister, leaky voice uttered, "The information you're looking for is a bit difficult, but if you can provide a sixth-order or higher killing array, or a technique that can enhance the spirit and cultivate to the Void Refinement Stage, or some other method that can cure someone infected by the Deep Sleep Gu, I'd be happy."
When Zhao Kangping heard the word "Deep Sleep Gu", his pupils trembled violently.
This is Luo Xueqing's main storyline, and he actually ran into it.
One of the elders in the Yunyan Pavilion was ambushed by the Gu God Cult and infected with a poison called the Deep Sleep Gu. This poison causes the infected person to fall into a deep sleep and never wake up unless the Deep Sleep Gu is removed.
The most terrifying thing is that the person who is poisoned will gradually weaken in his sleep until he dies.
In the original novel, Luo Xueqing and her friends worked together to find the high-ranking members of the Gu Shen Cult who had poisoned the elder of Yunyan Pavilion. After defeating them, they got a way to solve the problem of the deep-sleeping Gu.
From then on, Luo Xueqing and the others gained the friendship of Yunyan Pavilion. Naturally, there were many benefits after this.
In order to repay them, the elder from Yunyan Pavilion not only agreed to provide them with important information three times for free, but also personally gave them generous gifts.
What a coincidence, he knew the solution to this problem, maybe he could make use of it.
Zhao Kangping calmly suppressed his slightly excited mood.
The scholar on the other side was stunned for more than ten seconds, then he replied awkwardly: "I don't have any of these things."
"The value of this sixth-level killing array disk is an astronomical figure. It is simply beyond my means."
"I can't help the other two either."
The skull said disappointedly, "I'm sorry, but we can't investigate the information you requested for you."
Although Yunyan Pavilion is open for business, they won't accept just anyone's business. If you can't provide them with what they want, they won't do anything.
That's why Qin Lingxuan said that the people in Yunyan Pavilion were weird.
It just so happened that Aunt Yun had given Zhao a set of array plates when he succeeded him as city lord, which exactly met the requirements mentioned by the skull. Unfortunately, Zhao Kangping would never give such a treasure to anyone else. It was filled with Aunt Yun's deep love, and only a fool would give it away.
The scholar was helpless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "What if I could find a way to get a set of sixth-level killing array disks within the next period of time?"
Skull: "We will probably only need this array for half a year. After that, we won't need it. You can do whatever you want."
Hearing this, the scholar was completely discouraged.
He was not familiar with the art of formations, nor did he have any fellow Taoists who were proficient in formations. At his current rate of earning spirit stones, he would not be able to catch up within half a year.
After that, it was Zhao Kangping's turn.
He was a little surprised because it turned out that the decision on who came first was not based on the order of arrival, but on the size of the code on the pass.
Yes, there was a three-digit code on the pass. Zhao Kangping had noticed the number when he got it, but he had never understood what it meant. Now he understood.
Zhao Kangping wrote his request on parchment and handed it to the skull.
After browsing through it, the other party said, "But, since you have two pieces of information, you will have to pay two prices."
Zhao Kangping anticipated his reaction and took out the set of Twenty-Eight Constellations Flags from his storage ring.
The flags on the formation shone brilliantly, and among the other cultivators present, a hint of hidden greed flashed in the eyes of a few people, but they concealed it in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Kangping also saw the reactions of those people.
It’s a pity that this thing has to be handed over to Yunyan Pavilion, so they have no chance to go out and kill people and rob.
Before the skull could say what he wanted, Zhao Kangping took out this set of formation flags, and the old man was speechless for a moment.
What a coincidence! They really needed to set up some high-level formations, and this set of formation flags was very good material, not inferior to the things he had said he would give to the scholar before.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation arranged by this set of formation flags is a composite formation that combines defensive and auxiliary capabilities. It not only provides excellent protection, but also allows friendly parties in the formation to gain increased power when casting spells.
It could already be the treasure of a first-rate sect, but Zhao Kangping just gave it away.
How could the old man with the skull not be surprised?
But he quickly realized what was happening and said, "Wait a minute, this set of battle flags is extremely valuable. It's more than enough to exchange for one piece of information, but two pieces of information are not enough."
Zhao Kangping knew something about the methods used by Yunyan Pavilion to investigate intelligence.
In fact, the senior executives in Yunyan Pavilion are not only proficient in formations and intelligence gathering, but one of the bigwigs inside is also a master in deducing the secrets of heaven.
When they investigate certain intelligence that is more difficult to find, they will use methods of divination.
Those who calculate the secrets of heaven will inevitably suffer backlash from the secrets of heaven. Often, the more complicated the matter is, the more lifespan will be consumed.
This is a great harm to those who predict the future.
If there is no corresponding compensation, he will not take action easily.
The Tianlan Sect had long been removed from the world of immortal cultivation, and its existence was gradually forgotten by the younger generation of cultivators.
This sect had long been divided up, and there were few traces left of it.
Many of the truths of that year are difficult to trace, and it is likely that the method of deduction will be needed.
"What if I can provide information on how to resolve the Deep Sleep Gu?" Zhao Kangping said calmly.
But this simple sentence, like a thunderclap, caused a huge response.
"what?"
A pleasant female voice sounded, and before long, a beautiful woman shrouded in a purple robe walked into the corner of the hall.
The woman was tall and graceful, and looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties.
She's actually here?
Chapter 372: Item Trading, Little Cat
There is only one beautiful woman in Yunyan Pavilion who likes to wear purple robes.
Her name was Madam Yan, and she was an elder of Yunyan Pavilion.
The person who was infected with the deep sleep poison was her sister, another elder of Yunyan Pavilion.
This Madam Yan's public identity is the widow of a deceased sect elder, and she now lives a secluded life with her daughter.
Of course, this is a disguise to deceive others. People like her who work in the intelligence industry will definitely not reveal their true identity.
The daughter she claimed to be was actually her sister.
They look like a mother and daughter, but they are actually sisters.
The sisters are both from the Gu family, with the same father and mother, but there is a big age difference between them.
Mrs. Yan is more than fifty years older than Zhao Kangping, but her sister is only a few years older than Dongfang Jingrou.
Such a huge age difference would have separated them by several generations for ordinary people, but since they came from a family of monks, this situation was very common.
There was some turmoil in the Gu family a long time ago, and the parents of the Gu sisters died in that turmoil.
So Mrs. Yan is both an elder sister and plays a role similar to that of a mother. It is true that the eldest sister is like a mother.
But not long ago, Madam Yan's sister Gu Qingyun offended someone from the Gu God Cult while she was out and about, and was therefore poisoned by a Gu.
Mrs. Yan tried many methods to try to cure her sister, but unfortunately all failed.
She also knew that the best way to save her sister was to find the person who put the poison on her.
Whether it's threatening with force or apologizing humbly, she can do anything to save her sister.
So after hearing Zhao Kangping tell her about the information about the person who cast the poison, she lost control and showed up in person.
There was a small detail. After Gu Qingyan appeared, the light of the floating crystal skull dimmed and fell onto the round table.
Zhao Kangping understood. Where was the old man? This skull not only served as a microphone, but also a voice changer.
Previously, it was Gu Qingyan who had always communicated with them.
By the way, Gu Qingyan is Madam Yan’s real name, and Zhao Kangping also learned about it from the original novel.
"I know where I can find a solution to the Deep Sleep Gu."
While the others were still confused by the sudden appearance of the beautiful woman in purple, Zhao Kangping had already bowed to her.
Gu Qingyan also knew that she had lost her composure a little. After calming herself down a little, she said, "Do you take what you said seriously, fellow Daoist?"
Zhao Kangping said firmly, "Of course I take it seriously. I've told you this. You can send someone to verify it yourself. Then you'll know whether what I said is true or not."
The whereabouts of the person who cast the curse on Gu Qingyun were mysterious, and Yunyan Pavilion sent out a large number of spies but failed to find him.
But Zhao Kangping knew where that guy was and even knew who his apparent identity was.
That’s right, the person who put the curse on Gu Qingyun has his own alias and is a public figure.
But he hid it very deeply, and if Zhao Kangping had not read the original work, he would not have known it.
"If Madam doesn't believe me, I can swear an oath to the heavens." He said with great certainty.
Gu Qingyan was eager to save her sister. She tried countless methods, but the result was just watching her sister getting weaker day by day.
Her sister is her last relative in this world, and she can't lose her.
Well! Actually, there are other bloodlines in the Gu family, but those relatives probably wish them dead, so Gu Qingyan would not regard them as relatives.
Gu Qingyan waved her hand to stop him from swearing: "No need, after the trade fair is over, fellow Daoist, please stay for a while."
This can be considered as taking the bait, Zhao Kangping was secretly happy.
In fact, after learning the identity of this woman, he came up with an idea.
It was not easy for her to believe Zhao Kangping, but she was desperate and felt that she should at least give it a try, just in case this was the hope for her sister's survival.
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"The trade will continue. Next, fellow Daoist Little Cat, please write down your request."
Before anyone could react, the crystal skull spoke again, using the dignified voice of an old man.
However, ever since the beautiful woman in purple appeared, some smart people have guessed that the true identity of the skull is that beautiful woman.
After the mystery faded, the people present's awe of the crystal skull suddenly decreased.
However, most of the people present had something to ask for, and no one would be so blind.
"This isn't a difficult task for our Yunyan Pavilion. If you can provide the Netherworld Prison Stone or something with similar functions."
"Or you can repair the sealing formation."
"Or maybe you have some kind of elixir that can heal soul damage."
After reading the little cat's request, the skull also stated its trading needs.
In fact, you don’t necessarily have to provide what the skull said, it can be something else of similar value.
For example, Zhao Kangping just presented a set of twenty-eight constellations formation flags, which was not among the other party's requirements, but it was obvious that the other party was interested.
Maybe newcomers will foolishly think that it must be what the other party said, but people who have been here many times will be able to adapt to the situation.
The scholar just now was obviously here for the first time. When he didn't have what the skull said, he didn't know how to come up with other equivalent things.
On the other hand, when Zhao Kangping took out the battle flag, the Skull Head was also slightly surprised.
He was a newcomer, but he knew how to adapt to this situation.
At this time, the woman dressed like a village girl pondered for a moment and then said, "I can draw a demon-sealing talisman."
"You want the Netherworld Prison Stone to strengthen the seal against some kind of monster, right?"
"My Demon Sealing Talisman has the same effect. Although it doesn't last as long as the Netherworld Prison Stone, I can make up for it with quantity."
