“My name is Liu Wenyuan, and I am the manager of Tingfeng Tower in Shayan City.”
The blue-robed scholar cupped his hands and smiled, “Just now outside the Wanbao Pavilion, I happened to hear the two of you asking Elder Liu about the Earth’s Core Jade Marrow Milk. I took the liberty to come forward, and I hope you don’t mind.”
Wind Listening Pavilion? David had never heard of this organization.
Seeing David’s confusion, Liu Wenyuan smiled and explained, “Tingfeng Tower is a small local force in Shayan City, mainly engaged in trade and information brokerage. They have some connections in Shayan City and the surrounding area.”
“Does Steward Liu know about Earth’s Core Jade Marrow Milk?” Red Cloud Demon Lord couldn’t help asking.
Liu Wenyuan smiled faintly: “I know a little. This is not the place to talk about it. If you two don’t mind, how about we move to Tingfeng Tower to discuss this in detail?”
“Don’t worry, this is just a business matter. Whether this will be done or not depends entirely on your wishes.”
David and the Red Cloud Demon Lord exchanged glances, both seeing interest in each other’s eyes. The clues about the Earth’s Core Jade Marrow Milk were too important to them; they couldn’t give up even a glimmer of hope.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Steward Liu.” David nodded.
“Please follow me.” Liu Wenyuan’s smile grew wider, and he turned around to lead the way.
Tingfeng Tower is located in the central area of Shayan City. This building is a three-story wooden building with a fairly simple facade, but its location is very strategic.
The building is elegantly decorated; the first floor was a reception hall, the second floor contained private rooms, and the third floor appeared to be an office area.
Liu Wenyuan directly took the two to a private room by the window on the second floor, ordered the servant to serve tea, then closed the door.
“Please sit down, Daoist brothers and sisters.”
Liu Wenyuan motioned for the two to sit, then he sat down himself. He went straight to the point, saying, “Earth Essence Jade Marrow Milk is produced in the Earth Essence Jade Vein in the deepest part of the Lava Demon Abyss in the Flame Realm. Only one drop can be obtained every ten thousand years.
“Since Steward Liu knows, you must have some clues, right?” David asked.
“There are indeed some clues.”
Liu Wenyuan nodded, but then changed the topic, “However, I believe the two of you also realize the value of such valuable information.”
“Name your price,” David said directly.
Liu Wenyuan raised five fingers: “Five thousand top-grade immortal stones. Or treasures or materials of equivalent value.”
Five thousand supreme grade immortal stones!
David frowned.
This price is several times his entire net worth.
Although he had accumulated some resources on the Ninth and Tenth Heavens, the value of those high-grade immortal stones and materials was greatly reduced when he arrived at higher-level worlds.
Five thousand supreme grade immortal stones were equivalent to five hundred thousand supreme grade immortal stones.
David couldn’t get that many top grade immortal stones now.
“Too high.”
David shook his head, “We have just arrived on Eleventh Heaven and don’t have many top-grade immortal stones yet.”
Liu Wenyuan seemed to have anticipated this, and smiled, “If you don’t have enough immortal stones, you can repay in other ways. For example, doing something for Tingfeng Tower.”
“How are you?”
David became increasingly alert.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. If the other party has made these demands, it is likely that the situation is not simple.
