Bai Qiuran brought Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei to the middle-aged man, he sat down on the stool opposite the middle-aged man, and said:
"Seller, I'm shopping."
The middle-aged man was sitting on the reclining chair, holding a straw, teasing a cricket in the jar in front of him. The cricket had colorful spots on its body, and it looked extraordinary.
Hearing Bai Qiuran's words, the middle-aged man lazily raised his head and glanced at him, then muttered:
"Five coins a set, just take it from the shelf, you are not allowed to take more."
"Seller, I don't buy books."
Bai Qiuran went straight to the point.
"I want to buy something else, like intelligence."
"You want to buy information?"
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Bai Qiuran. Then, he put down the straw in his hand, covered the cricket jar with the lid, put one hand on the table, tapped Erlang's leg, and smiled frivolously at Bai Qiuran. road:
"People on these two streets know that I've never been in the intelligence business of strangers."
Bai Qiuran understood, and then asked:
"So... what do I need to do to become acquaintances with you?"
"It's simple."
The middle-aged man smiled and pulled out a wooden card from under the table and put it in front of Bai Qiuran and the others.
Bai Qiuran looked up and saw that there were four grades written from top to bottom, namely:
An acquaintance card, one hundred and fifty coins.
Friend card, two hundred coins.
Friendship card, 500 coins.
Life and death card, one thousand coins.
"We are innocent businessmen."
A standard businessman's smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
"Open the door to do business, clearly mark the price, what grade, and what kind of news to buy."
Damn membership system.
Bai Qiuran cursed in his heart.
"So, if I want to buy information about a person's whereabouts, what kind of relationship do I need to have with you?"
he asked.
"That depends on who you buy."
The middle-aged man laughed lazily and said:
"The whereabouts of an unknown person, who is known to everyone in the public, naturally doesn't matter much, I will send it to anyone who is an acquaintance... If a person is famous and deliberately hides his whereabouts in a low-key manner, then no one knows about it. It would take life and death for me to reveal the news."
Bai Qiuran thought for a while and asked:
"How much did it take for the whereabouts of Qing Mingzi, who flew up from World No. 1 3,300 years ago?"
"Huh? You ask Qing Mingzi?"
The middle-aged man sat up all of a sudden and asked with interest:
"What's your relationship with him?"
"Well..."
Bai Qiuran bowed to him and said:
"Also please forgive me for not being able to share this information. I can only tell my friends about this information."
"Forget it."
The middle-aged man lay back again, waved his hand and said:
"Qing Mingzi is not young, but his reputation is not small, but his trace is basically known to everyone, and everyone is guessing when he will die. This news... As long as it is a friend, I can tell you if you spend three hundred dollars. he."
Oh, co-authored and bought a friend membership card, but it's not enough to become friends, and you have to spend another 300.
profiteer.
Bai Qiuran sneered, then turned his head and asked:
"Jin Yao, how much entanglement do we have?"
Li Jinyao heard the words and opened the bag to take a look.
"About 600 more coins..."
"enough."
Bai Qiuran stretched out his hand, Li Jinyao counted out 500 Immortal World Coins and put them in Bai Qiuran's palm, then Bai Qiuran scattered these coins on the table of the middle-aged man and piled them into a small pile, saying:
"Brother, I am amazed by your bones. The heaven is full. At first glance, you are a loyal person who does not bow down for money. Let's make friends."
"Good to say, good to say."
The middle-aged man put away the coins on the table, quickly counted them, and then turned to Bai Qiuran and said solemnly:
"Brother, I think you are also a person with little righteousness. Now, there are not many people like this in the fairy world. From today, you are my friend. If we have any news, we can communicate."
"Well, good buddy."
Bai Qiuran nodded heavily, and then asked:
"I heard that there is a Qing Mingzi in the seventh heaven recently. His name seems to be quite big. I wonder if my friends have heard of him."
"Of course I've heard of it."
The middle-aged man took up the conversation and immediately told Bai Qiuran about his master's information in the Immortal Realm.
"Speaking of this Qing Mingzi, who ascended from World No. 1, no one has ascended before him for more than 10,000 years. After this person ascended to the Eastern Immortal Realm, he immediately showed a good talent, and he joined Yangxian. The Yangtian Immortal Army under Zun has cultivated to the Canghai Realm for more than 3,000 years, and later robbed the horse that the Dongfang Qing Emperor liked, and became famous for a while. Now, he is a trainer of the Yangtian Immortal Army, along with his lover Liu Shi He lives in a mansion in the south of Zhengyang City, the capital of Yangtian."
"Oh, who is this Liu Shi?"
Bai Qiuran asked.
The middle-aged man didn't speak, and spread his hands. Seeing this, Li Jinyao took out another fifty coins and threw them into his hands.
The middle-aged man rubbed the coins in his palm before continuing:
"The daughter of the Liu family in Zhengyang City, her father was the deputy commander of the Yangtian Immortal Army, and he fought the demons with Yangtianzun in the lower realm, but he has not returned. He was also famous in Yangtian, and finally spread to the ears of Dongfang Qingdi, who was praised by Qingdi. It seems that the pursuit failed, and he and Qing Mingzi formed a Taoist companion."
"understood."
Bai Qiuran cupped his hands and said:
"As expected of a friend, he really has supernatural powers. This conversation has made me fascinated. I'm going to go to Zhengyang City immediately to pay a visit to the unparalleled Liu Shi, and there will be an appointment in the future!"
He took the two girls and turned around to leave. The middle-aged man thought for a while, then raised his hand and stopped him.
"Wait a minute, friend."
He shouted to Bai Qiuran:
"And today, Yang Tiantian has changed, the whereabouts of Immortal Yang are unknown, and the newly dispatched Lin Tianzun is in charge, and the Immortal Army of Yangtian has also been withdrawn step by step. If you want to go to Zhengyang City, you need to spend more trouble than usual, I am afraid three people At least two or three hundred coins are enough."
Seeing Bai Qiuran turn around in surprise, he added:
"It's all said, open the door to do business, clearly mark the price, and the old man is innocent. This is a gift for my friend."
"Thank you."
Bai Qiuran clasped his fists at him.
In fact, Bai Qiuran didn't really know how to choose, in order to choose the intelligence businessman who would be the least tricky. He always went alone, and the intelligence work was handled by his younger generation, so he didn't need to worry about his ancestors.
The reason why he chose this intelligence businessman was because after investigating with his divine sense, he found that the strength of this businessman was the strongest on the two nearby streets.
Looking at it now, it can be regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, making him right.
The three of them left the street and walked on the bustling street of Xiancheng, but Li Jinyao seemed to be worried.
"What's wrong with you? Jin Yao."
Seeing her like this, Bai Qiuran also cared:
"have a thought?"
"senior."
Li Jinyao hesitated for a moment and asked:
"You really want to see that Liu Shi?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Bai Qiuran asked suspiciously.
"No, it's fine."
Li Jinyao shook her head and replied:
"Just a little… unhappy."
Bai Qiuran was puzzled.
"I went to see the woman who might be my wife, why are you unhappy?"
"You don't understand, Master."
Li Jinyao didn't speak, but Tang Ruowei pointed and said:
"You, when it comes to women, aptitude is dull, and rotten wood cannot be carved."
"Humph."
Bai Qiuran sneered proudly with his hands behind his back:
"I don't know if it is possible to carve for the teacher, but the teacher knows that if you don't carve your sternum again, then you really won't have to carve it. Come here and let the teacher help you carve it."
