Chapter 778 (2/2)

After speaking, the old man turned and walked towards the back room of the place.

Leaving Lin Jing to wait there.

As for why it’s essential to purchase information at Seven Seas Hall, the reason is actually quite straightforward.

Lin Jing was alone, and investigating on his own clearly wasn’t suitable.

Personal investigations might yield information of uncertain detail and reliability; whether it could be useful or not was another question.

Furthermore…

The location wasn’t very far from the Changyun Clan, and the clan was experiencing troubled times.

Carelessly probing for information about the Changyun Clan could potentially alert them.

Thus, even if one needed to gather information, it had to be done through other channels, not recklessly on one’s own.

Then there was the issue of time.

Now that he had reached the Inner Sea, he wasn’t far from the Chang Yun Archipelago.

Rather than waste time investigating himself, it was more convenient and faster to spend some Spirit Stones and directly purchase the information.

Moreover, the information obtained from Qi Hall was undeniably the most accurate.

The Elder’s words were just a precautionary reminder in advance.

Shortly.

The Elder walked out of the room.

In his hand, he held a wooden box.

When he returned, the Elder placed the wooden box on the counter in front of Lin Jing.

“The information you asked for is all inside here.”

“This information has been collected and compiled through various channels into the most detailed sort, although it doesn’t involve any secrets of the Changyun Clan or other powers.”

“As for the fee, it’s quite standard—just one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.”

One thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones weren’t cheap.

But this information concerned the Changyun Clan, one of the four top powers in the Inner Sea.

Therefore, although it didn’t touch upon the secrets of the Changyun Clan, the information wasn’t cheap either.

Lin Jing naturally understood this.

Before leaving, Lin Jing had over five hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones, but because he needed to rebuild Yue Tian Island and spent a lot, he left a portion for Li Qingqing and had two hundred thousand left.

Therefore,

these thousand Spirit Stones didn’t mean much to Lin Jing.

After that,

without a word, Lin Jing took one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones from his Space Ring and handed them over.

The Elder took the Spirit Stones and then handed the wooden box to Lin Jing.

“Fellow Daoist, it’s been a pleasure doing business.”

After saying this, the Elder’s tone shifted:

“Right…”

“Lastly, I must remind you that once you’ve bought this information, you can only peruse it once.”

“After perusal, the Jade Slip inside will self-destruct.”

Lin Jing nodded:

“I am already aware of this, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist.”

After speaking, Lin Jing took the wooden box and then said to the Elder:

“Farewell!”

With that, Lin Jing left the place.

Although he had purchased the information, Lin Jing wasn’t in a rush to check it immediately.

Now that he had the information, what Lin Jing needed to do was to leave Ninghai City first.

After leaving Ninghai City, he planned to review it.

Then.

Lin Jing didn’t delay and walked directly towards the outskirts of Ninghai.

Soon, Lin Jing left the Inner City.

Once he reached the Outer City, the management was relatively less strict compared to the Inner City.

Lin Jing accelerated his pace, quickly making his way out of Ninghai.

About four hours later, Lin Jing appeared in a sea area outside Ninghai.

At this time, Lin Jing was walking through the void, moving forward slowly.

His speed was not fast as he advanced while also looking down at the sea below.

Lin Jing seemed preoccupied, as if something was on his mind.

Shortly after, time passed for a while.

However, Lin Jing suddenly came to a stop:

“The time should be almost up, it’s about to come…”

As Lin Jing’s words fell, a pleasing voice transmitted from within Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness:

“Ding!”
