Soon, Wang Feng arrived at the Great Sage Artifact Shop at the appointed time. As soon as he entered, the woman came up to him and said with a smile,"Sir, you're really punctual. Oh right, my name is Nushang. I've already prepared what Sir wanted." She gently patted the shelf and a jade slip appeared in her hand.
" Sir, I've already prepared your items. Please pay the other half of the processing fee, which is 50,000 gold," Nushang said with a smile.
Wang Feng shook his head and said," Your asking price is too high. It's a total of 100,000 gold taels. I wonder if the thing you're giving me is worth that much?”
Nushang was slightly startled and nodded." Perhaps Mister is right. Then, I will let Mister read the contents first. Then, what is your price?"”
Wang Feng nodded and took the jade slip. He then looked at the contents seriously. The first few pages were about the geography of the Raincloud Empire and the origins of the Raincloud Empire. Wang Feng wasn't interested in these. He directly skipped a few pages and saw some interesting news. He read it with interest.
This was about the structure of the cultivation world in the Raincloud Empire. There were 25 cultivation sects of various sizes in the Raincloud Empire. The largest of them was the Bodhi Sect. The Eternal Jade Palace also had considerable strength. The Empire also had two Weapon Craftsmen's Chambers of Commerce and one Medicine Refinery Sect. The empires and the Watercloud Empire had never been on good terms, but for the past thousand years, there had been no war. The successive monarchs of the Watercloud Empire were all cultivators, and there were also experts in the palace. Therefore, the Imperial Court and the cultivation sects were not to be violated, and their prestige was very heavy.
Wang Feng nodded as he watched. He didn't expect the Raincloud Empire to be so powerful, much stronger than the Qiu Luo Empire. If they were to fight, the Qiu Luo Empire would probably be defeated very quickly.
Looking further down, there were many sects in the Raincloud Empire. Among them, the Bodhi Sect had two Dujie stage experts. The other sects had a conservative estimate of about ten Dujie stage experts, about fifty Fanxu stage experts, and eight to nine hundred Jinxu stage experts.
There were actually so many of them? Wang Feng was shocked. It seemed that he had to seize the time to cultivate. If there was a conflict that day, he probably wouldn't have a chance to live.
The Watercloud Empire had one of the Star Luo Continent's three most dangerous lands, the Eternal Wasteland. The land was ten thousand miles in circumference and was covered in fog all year round. The demonic Qi was very dense, and many demons and devils would choose to cultivate there. However, there were many ancient demons and monsters left behind in the land. Many of them were at the Crossing Calamity Stage. Cultivators could never return from there, so it was classified as a dangerous land. The Eternal Wilderness and the other parts of the continent were peaceful and rarely had conflicts. Monsters usually did not leave the forbidden land, so although it was dangerous, it was relatively safe.
As he read, Wang Feng suddenly became interested in the following news. The Watercloud Empire's self-cultivation world would hold a grand Immortal Sword Festival every five years. The event had been held for five hundred years. Every time, it was hosted by the Bodhi Sect, the Eternal Jade Palace, and the Holy Heaven Palace. All the self-cultivators of the Star Luo Continent could participate. As long as the young disciples were under thirty years old, they could compete on the spot. The prize for the first place would be a high-grade magic tool or mental cultivation method. However, most wandering cultivators would mysteriously become disciples of a certain sect. The so-called mystery was because many cultivators who obtained first place were originally unwilling to enter the sect. However, they either mysteriously disappeared the next day or became disciples of a certain sect.
Coincidentally, this year was the fifth year, and there were only four months left before the Immortal Sword Festival.
Although Wang Feng was interested, he had no interest in participating. His goal was to find the Mountain Sea Heart Sutra and cultivate it as soon as possible.
As he continued to read, there was another piece of news. There were two assassination groups in the Raincloud Empire that specialized in assassinations. They were extremely famous, but the leaders of the groups could not be verified. They had always been one of the more mysterious organizations in the Raincloud Empire. This organization had once assassinated five fanxu experts, causing a huge commotion in the Raincloud Empire.
The jade slip contained a very complicated introduction to the secret cultivation history of the Raincloud Empire. Wang Feng skimmed through it and then his body moved because he saw what he was looking forward to. Although he wasn't sure, he felt that it was definitely related.
Ten thousand years ago, a palace had descended from the sky in Spring City of the Watercloud Empire. It sank into the ground and mysteriously disappeared, causing a sensation in the cultivation world. They believed that it was the residence of some deity in the Immortal World and that there must be some treasure there. Hence, all the cultivators in Star Luo Continent came to Spring City to search for it, resulting in the prosperity of Spring City. Although Spring City was smaller than the other large cities, it undoubtedly had the most experts. Everyone was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the palace to be unearthed once again to discover the treasure.
However, after 10,000 years, their interest became boring. Because the palace had never appeared, many people left. This matter became history and a mystery.
After reading it, Wang Feng nodded."Mhm, it's worth it. I'll pay the other 50,000 gold taels." Wang Feng then piled the gold on the ground.
" I didn't expect you to have a Qiankun Bag or something like that. Hehe, now that you've done so many transactions with us, I'll treat you as a VIP. Please accept this. In the future, wherever you go, as long as you have this, any equipment store will give you a discount." Nushang took out a card from his pocket. On it was a monster with the word " Yin " written on it. It was exactly the same as the one Wang Feng had given to the little girl in the equipment store.
Wang Feng smiled and took out a plate that was the same as the slave clothes. Nushang looked at Wang Feng in shock and said in pleasant surprise,"So mister has been our honored guest for a long time. Sorry for being rude today. Since mister already has a VIP token, I'll give mister a discount and charge you 30,000 gold taels."
She politely ordered 30,000 gold taels and returned the remaining 20,000 gold taels to Wang Feng. At the same time, she asked," Since Mister is a distinguished guest, why didn't you say so earlier?”
"Hehe, do you know Nuyi?" Wang Feng didn't answer and asked instead.
Nushang was even more surprised as she said,"Sir, you know my sister? That's great. Since you're so close, if you have any questions in the future, I'll naturally provide you with the best price."
Wang Feng nodded and said with a smile," Then I'll have to trouble you. I still have something to ask Miss Nushang."
"Sir, please ask."
Wang Feng hesitated for a moment, then asked," Since this mysterious palace is in Spring City, why didn't we find any clues?”
Nushang shook her head,"This matter is extremely secretive. It's said that when the palace fell from the sky, there were three Void Initiation Stage experts who lived nearby. Two of them were crushed to death, and the last one was said to have obtained an item but couldn't verify it, so the sects or experts who received the news chased after him. Not long after, this person disappeared. As for what it was, no one knows. I reckon that the core members of those large sects might know."
It seemed like that thing was the key to opening the mysterious palace. He just didn't know who had it and why it hadn't opened the palace for so many years. Could it be that it had already been quietly activated? Wang Feng wasn't sure, but according to Little Green's senses, the palace was still there.
In other words, a God. Then where should I start?
"Miss Nushang, do you have any clues?”，Wang Feng asked.
Nushang thought about it for a while before saying,"This matter is highly confidential and I don't have the right to know. I reckon that our elder knows some details. If you really want to know, you have to pay a price and invite our elder out. Perhaps he might know some things."
" Then what price do I have to pay?" Wang Feng asked with some anticipation. He had to know about this matter no matter the price.
" Spiritual herbs, immortal artifacts, or something very valuable," Nushang said with certainty.
" Alright, it's settled then. Miss Nushang, please make an appointment with your elder. I hope he won't disappoint me," Wang Feng said with a smile.
" Sir, don't worry. However, it will take the elder about three days to arrive. Please wait patiently for three days. I will inform you when the time comes." Nushang then took out a communication device and passed it to Wang Feng, who accepted it.
After the appointment, Wang Feng came out and walked straight to the Maple Royal Hall. He was in a particularly good mood. As soon as he entered, he saw Little Green introducing the herbs to a few customers. The Maple Royal Hall could be said to be very lively now, and the profits were very large. Some of the nearby herb shops and equipment shops were jealous. A few days ago, some ruffians came to cause trouble and were taught a lesson by Little Green.
Seeing Wang Feng come in, Little Green happily pulled Wang Feng's hand." Brother Mu Feng, you're back. Let's go. I just learned how to cook some dishes from Sister Min 'er. I'll invite you to try it."
Wang Feng's alias was Wang Mufeng, so naturally, Little Green wouldn't call him wrong. However, when he heard that Little Green was actually learning how to cook, he smiled in his heart. Then, he used his hand to gently pinch Little Green's face." Little girl, you're actually learning how to cook and preparing to get married?”
Little Green shook off Wang Feng's hand." I was kind enough to cook for you, but you came to tease me. I'm not giving it to you anymore." With an aggrieved expression, it turned its face away and ignored Wang Feng.
Wang Feng pulled Little Green's hand." Good Little Green, I was wrong. I'll go eat. Let's go." Wang Feng pulled Little Green up and walked home, leaving Xue Feng and the other two to take care of the shop.
When he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Min 'er busy going in and out. Wang Feng chuckled." Who's cooking?”
Xiao Lu pouted and blushed. She said in embarrassment," I helped Sister Min 'er pick up the vegetables, and she was in charge of cooking. Isn't this considered me cooking?”
Wang Feng instantly laughed out loud, causing Min 'er to turn around. When she saw the two of them, Min' er smiled and walked over." Mufeng, you're back. Come in and eat."
Wang Feng went in. For him, eating was already dispensable. Although he felt hungry sometimes, it wasn't obvious. It was just a dish that Min 'er and Xiao Lingyu had worked hard to cook. No matter what, he had to try it.
There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and the color combination was very unique. Wang Feng sat down and took out his chopsticks to taste it. Suddenly, he choked up. It was too salty, but he didn't say it out loud. Then, he tasted another dish and was simply speechless. Every dish tasted very strange.
Seeing Wang Feng's reaction, Little Green and Min 'er also started to taste it. In the end, their expressions turned ugly. Min' er said embarrassedly," I'll go pour it for you."
Wang Feng immediately stopped them and started eating. Min 'er and Little Green looked at Wang Feng gratefully. The indescribable feelings in their hearts made them feel that Wang Feng was a real man, a man who dared to take responsibility.
The trust they had for Wang Feng was something they felt deeply about.
" I'll cook for you tomorrow," Wang Feng suddenly said as he ate.
