C69 (1/2)
At this moment, Ye Ling finally felt what it meant to be wealthy and travel the world, to not be able to move an inch without money.
He had only checked two pieces of information, and the transaction fee alone was more than a thousand of karmic pills.
Luckily, he had some talent. If it was any other Xuan Wu cultivators, wouldn't they be squeezed dry of their pocket?
However, it was equivalent to the value of the two pieces of information. This was a normal fee. The company was not a charity, so they had to make money, right?
After figuring out all of these, Ye Ling obediently handed over a few thousand Qi Pills.
In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had already spent thousands of Qi Pills. This made Ye Ling feel like he was being slaughtered.
However, there was nothing he could do now. He could only earn more Qi Pills to obtain the two pieces of information.
Seventy thousand Mortal Martial Pills was not a small number. Even if it was in the normal Heaven realm, he might not have so much savings.
”Take care, you two!” Watching Ye Ling and Leng Qiuyue leave, Steward Lin seemed to recall something and he quickly extended his hand to stop them.
Ye Ling glanced at the manager and said, ”What about it? Could it be that there is still some money that has yet to be revealed? ”
”Mr. Ye misunderstood.” Steward Lin quickly smiled apologetically: ”I see that you two seem to be very lacking in Qi Pills. In this way, my company will have a way to make money lately, what do you think?”
”Tell me about it.” Ye Ling's expression did not change. He knew that benefits and risks coexist. The greater the benefit, the greater the risk.
On the other hand, Leng Qiu Yue was very interested in money.
”It's like this. Recently, our Four Seasons Tower has been preparing to gather experts to explore a secret location and fight over one of the treasures, the Thousand Autumn Mountain and River Diagram.”
As Steward Lin spoke, he looked around cautiously.
”Stop messing around with me. How many Qi Pills can we actually get this time?” Ye Ling directly spoke up.
From a certain point of view, Ye Ling himself was also a person from the market, and he did not like the idea of others painting him a serious illness.
Ye Ling had always maintained that the one to obtain it was himself.
”This time, the basic salary is twenty thousand Qi Pills per person!” ”If you can get that picture, there are still endless benefits waiting for you. This time, the requirement must be Profound realm cultivators. The two of you just happen to meet the requirements.”
”What!?” 20,000 qi martial pills! So many! ” Leng Qiu Yue was speechless. She had not expected such a large number.
20,000 Qi Pills was a huge sum even for Xuan Wu Realm cultivators.
Ye Ling frowned slightly. He did not know how much risk he had to take in order to receive such generous rewards, ”What exactly is that Thousand Autumn Mountain Diagram?”
”Hehe, I don't mind telling you guys that it's an open secret.” Seeing the two of them seemingly moved, Manager Lin also began to talk.
Through the conversation of steward Lin, Ye Ling did know a little bit about this matter.
It was rumored that the entire world was occupied by the demons in the ancient times, and the humans were reduced to slaves. The tyrannical demons had enslaved the humans like crazy.
Demi-humans were inherently tyrannical. With a sweep of their body, they were able to split a mountain. During the initial stage of the battle, it seemed as if they were on one side. Countless human cultivators had fallen under the hands of the demi-humans.
In the end, the supreme human intellect joined together to create a supreme treasure, the Myriad Autumn Mountains and Rivers Painting.
It was the existence of the Thousand Autumn Mountain and River Diagram that intimidated the demon clan and drove the strongest demon clan out of the continent. This was also the reason why there were so few demon clan members in the world.
However, according to the legends, the battle had caused the painting to be shattered into many fragments which scattered all over the place.
Historically, there had been many cultivators who had landed their feet in dog shit and obtained the fragment of the Thousand Autumn Mountain and River Diagram, resulting in their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
And this time, the fragment of the painting was discovered by someone in a secret location. Unfortunately, those people had only spread the news and no one had heard of it. They should have died inside.
This mission could be said to be extremely dangerous, which was why the reward was so high.
”Well? If you two agree, you can stay in Tianjing City. After seven days, you can gather at the outskirts of Tianjing City.
Steward Lin then drank a cup of water.
”The Thousand Autumn Mountain and River Diagram …” Leng Qiu Yue hesitated for a moment, this time she came out only to find out the whereabouts of her father, she did not expect to encounter so many things.
However, these rewards were indeed very attractive.
”Alright, we agree.” Ye Ling was the first to nod his head. The words that Steward Lin had said a moment ago had already reminded him of something from the past.
Manager Lin immediately had a happy expression. To be able to find two experts of the Profound realm, the commission that he could get was definitely not that. The Profound realm was not something that could be casually found.
The three of them signed an agreement and agreed to meet again in seven days.
After the two of them left the Four Seasons Tower, Leng Qiuyue noticed that Ye Ling seemed to be deep in thought, so she asked with concern, ”Ye Ling, what's wrong?”
”I'm fine.” Ye Ling shook his head in uncertainty.
For some reason, when Steward Lin talked about the map of the Mountains and Rivers, he always thought back to when he was fighting with the second prince of the Mystic Yellow Empire, Yang Qian, in the outskirts of Tianjing City.
In the final moment of the fierce battle, an array diagram suddenly exploded from Yang Qian's body. The array diagram rolled and scattered the Qi from all directions.
