Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 113 Wei Xi (Price changed in previous chapter)
"Fengyu Villa has a vast amount of intelligence, much of which the first three types cannot use. The Sunsinking Pavilion is used to utilize that intelligence."

"My two fellow Daoists, let's discuss the price now."

"My name is Wei Xi." "I'm Qin Feng."

"So the price at Richen Pavilion is one hundred high-grade spirit stones?" Qin Feng never bargains when buying things, but he didn't expect to get a surprise today.

"Five hundred high-grade spirit stones, and I'll contact the Sunshine Pavilion for the information. After all, I want to try to make a small profit but quick turnover."

Thinking of the one hundred high-grade spirit stones he had earned in exchange for the suffering he had endured in Tangkou Town, Wei Xi suppressed the urge to join Fengyu Villa.

"Affiliated information? What kind of information should be provided specifically?" Wei Xi pulled back his heart from rushing towards the pile of spirit stones.

Li Chun explained, "Richen Pavilion only sends out the customer's request and the bounty amount. If someone provides information and the customer adopts it, they will give a portion of the bounty until the bounty is all used up."

"We don't care about the authenticity of the information, the provision of physical evidence, or the timeliness of the task. We just act as a platform. The fee is relatively low, and we have most of the information, so we can get a large share of the bounty."

Qin Feng thought this was reliable, so she told Wei Xi, "There's a pawnshop outside, or I can exchange some silver for it. Together, it should be enough for 500 high-grade spirit stones."

Wei Xi didn't want Qin Feng to spend money, but she also wanted to collect some information.

At this dilemma, Li Chun's voice broke the deadlock, "In addition to pawning or exchanging for silver, Fellow Daoist Wei Xi's suggestion is actually feasible."

"You complete the tasks to pay off the debt. For 500 high-grade spirit stones, I will give you a task."

"Your lowest-level mission charges 88,000 low-grade spirit stones!" Qin Feng couldn't help but complain.

"We have a lot of people to support and a huge intelligence network to maintain," Li Chun said. His mental state was definitely suited to being a profiteer. "Besides, 88,000 is quite auspicious."

"My two Daoists, please complete a mission. The Sunshen Pavilion's information-sharing fee will be waived. You only need to pay a bounty of one hundred high-grade spirit stones. That's the minimum bounty requirement."

"What mission?"

"I need someone as cautious as Fellow Daoist Wei. Most people would jump at such an opportunity without thinking twice." Li Chun handed the empty sign to Wei Xi. "The sect competition will be next year. There's something I need you two to win and bring back to me."

"There are plenty of cultivators available at Fengyu Villa. Wei Xi and I are not the best candidates."

"You don't need to ask so many questions. This thing is a prize. Even if there is any danger, you still have to go and settle the accounts with the elders." Li Chun waved the sign. "Do you want to accept it now or not?"

The sect competition was still ruined by the mysterious monk blowing sand.

Wei Xi took the badge from Li Chun and handed over his spirit stone, which had not yet warmed up.

"Just write your requirements on it." Li Chun didn't even look at the spirit stone Wei Xi handed to him.

"What are we going to write? Killing people with sand? Knocking people out?" Qin Feng then realized how well the other party was hiding.

Wei Xi thought for a while and wrote down "Only after blowing away all the yellow sand can gold appear, and only after transplanting trees and flowers can flowers bloom among the bones."

These two sentences are ambiguous, yet they encompass all the characteristics they know. Someone who really knows the answer might be able to figure it out, but someone who doesn't know the full picture might think it's a riddle.

Wei Xi hopes to make good use of the limited bounty, to attract as much information as possible, and to conceal his identity.

Qin Feng heard Wei Xi read out these words and frowned, "You should go back and listen to Senior Sister Xie's lectures more. Why don't the two sentences match each other?"

Wei Xi returned the sign and said, "This is the best I can do. It's good enough for me."

"It's settled," Li Chun pulled a string out of thin air and tied the sign and the bag of spirit stones together. He let go and both flew to the treetops. "You'll get the news during next year's sect competition. Get what I want, and the debt will be settled."

Wei and Qin left Fengyu Villa with mixed feelings.

However, they both realized one thing: Fengyu Villa was indeed quite powerful. Even Li Chun hadn't said he would wait until Wei Xi and the others got their belongings before releasing any information. He had only made a verbal agreement, not worried about the other party breaking the contract.

Either Li Chun is simple-minded, or he is not worried at all that Wei Qin and the others will go back on their word.

Based on his performance just now, Wei Xi thought it was the latter.

It was not yet dark, and Qin Feng knew that there was a night market in Sucheng. The two of them went back to the inn to pick up Lian Gouqie, who had slept for the whole afternoon. After a quick bite, they set off in high spirits.

On the way, Qin Feng told Lian Gouqie about Fengyu Villa. Lian Gouqie was shocked and said, "Based on their charging standards, it's no wonder this guy said he would waive your deposit."

"Is Fengyu Villa still hiring? My skills are quite suitable. No," Lian Gou said, "Didn't you ask how they divide the profits among themselves?"

Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Don't you still have spirit stones? Go find Li Chun and see if you can buy information from him."

"Don't worry, I won't have much left tonight with the little money I have," Lian Gou said, feeling much more energetic after a rest this afternoon. "It's rare for me to have some quiet time with you two."

The Sucheng Night Market was crowded with tourists. The three people were not wearing Taoist robes tonight, so they were not very conspicuous in the crowd and looked like children out for fun.

After this stroll, Wei Xi finally understood why Lian Gou Xie, a master thief, left Baoxiang City with only a bag.

Lian Gouqie is too good at spending money.

Unlike Qin Feng who spends money with taste, Lian Gou Xie really spends money recklessly.

As soon as Lian Gouyu's upturned nose reached the night market, he bought a paper duck that quacked on his head. Wei Xi saw it clearly and saw that the duck made sounds entirely by a small mechanism.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lian Gou Xie bought ten things. If Qin Feng hadn't lost his patience and took him away from the stall that sold "ten cents a time, fishing for the moon in the water", this kid might have really spent money to soak himself into a paste.

Even at that time, the paper duck on the hook was still quacking.

In comparison, Qin Feng was not so crazy. She bought two kinds of flower seeds and a pair of porcelain dolls, planning to plant some flowers in the yard.

Wei Xi picked up the cotton cloth while Lian Goulu was diving into the pile of colorful silks.

"You can choose some brighter colors for your clothes," Qin Feng came over and said to Wei Xi, "That light yellow one is quite nice, and the aqua green one is perfect for a set."

"I picked this out for my parents," Wei Xi patted a piece of indigo cloth in his hand, "They would be willing to wear clothes made of this kind."

Wei Xi has always been a quiet person, so these words are a rare expression of his true feelings.

Take a closer look at the two pieces of cloth she chose, one indigo blue and the other pine green. Not only are the colors dark, but the material is also strong.

Qin Feng felt a pang in her heart: Based on her understanding of Wei Xi, her parents should be good to her.

Now the family is separated from each other and I don’t know when we can meet again.

On second thought, Wei Xi's parents were still alive, but he and his parents and brother were separated from him forever.

".If I were to ask you to take another piece of this," Qin Feng, controlling his emotions, picked out a piece of maroon cloth. "This color makes clothes more festive when worn during festivals."

Wei Xi was a gloomy person, so he naturally hadn't thought of this before.

Qin Feng thought that Wei Xi was already so old, and it was appropriate for her parents to wear maroon given their age.

"Three pieces of cloth," Wei Xi took the cloth from Qin Feng's hand and raised his chin. "Get Lian Gou-yu over here and have him help try out the finished garment."
