“We’ve been searching high and low for clues and people who know where to find the Night Amethyst, but it turned out that you knew about it all along!” Mo Fan exclaimed, while smacking his forehead.
Lingling and Jiang Shaoxu looked at Mo Fan disdainfully. Since when had he spent time searching for information about the Night Amethyst?
“I don’t believe many people in our homeland know about the Night Amethyst. The person who told you to come to Tianshan Mountain to look for it must be an expert too,” Nanyu said.
“Can you help us find it? Someone’s life is at stake,” Zhao Manyan asked her.
“I can give it a try, but there’s no guarantee. In the past, many Mages used the Night Amethyst as a bargaining chip when dealing with the God of Darkness, in exchange for his power. The Night Amethyst is extremely rare now, since it takes over a hundred thousand years or even millions of years to form. It’s rare to find a place that has been well preserved for over a hundred thousand years. The Southernmost Land is one possibility, and Tianshan Mountain is the other,” Nanyu told him.
“The Southernmost Land…” Zhao Manyan twisted his lips. Did that mean they had to visit Antarctica if they could not find the Night Amethyst on Tianshan Mountain?
He would rather choke Mu Bai to death and force him to swallow his last breath. The Southernmost Land was worse than Tianshan Mountain!
“Next time, if you’re looking for something ancient, you can ask me first. How much have you spent on the information related to the Night Amethyst?” Nanyu said.
Mo Fan turned to Lingling.
Lingling was also Mo Fan’s treasurer. He had given her all his cards. Mo Fan had saved up some money lately. He should have at least a billion by now…
“One or two hundred million,” Lingling said calmly.
Mo Fan almost fell from his chair.
One or two hundred million was enough for him to buy a luxurious mansion with a sea view in a modern city, yet she had spent it on some unreliable information?
Could a piece of information be worth a hundred million?!
“I have bought information from more than a hundred sources, each of which cost around a million. Most of them were information on minerals and crystals, so we might be able to earn some back if we bother looking for them, but that’s largely a waste of time for us. I ended up re-selling the information, but most people were interested in the rare resources in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain instead of minerals, so I couldn’t cover the losses,” Lingling went on.
“Lingling… you shouldn’t treat my money as mere numbers. I come from a poor family. I had to think twice when I spent over ten yuan on two bottles of water!” Mo Fan winced.
“It’s fine, I received some unexpected information too. I’ll explain it some other time,” Lingling waved it off.
“You can cancel those which you haven’t paid for. I can guarantee you that most of the information they have is fake. The truth is, they can’t really differentiate between the real Night Amethyst and another thing called the Night Quartz,” Nanyu sniffed.
“Mm, you’re right; half of the information I received is actually related to the Night Quartz,” Lingling was impressed when she heard Nanyu’s words.
The fact that Nanyu knew about the difference between the Night Amethyst and Night Quartz indicated she was an expert. Lingling only learned the difference between the two after spending a fortune on the information.
“Lingling, does the money you spent include information on the Totem Beasts? Or is that only the amount you’ve spent on information about the Night Amethyst?” Mo Fan asked as he suddenly remembered something.
