Chu Luobai walked slowly into the city. The town looked no different from any other ordinary human town.

However, its prosperity far surpassed that of any other town Chu Luobai had ever seen, and even the imperial city of Tianming could not compare.

"I thought Xunying City would be a secretive city full of men in black, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous and...ordinary."

"The saying goes, 'A minor hermit hides in the mountains and forests, while a major hermit hides in the city.' The more people there are, the more clues there are, and the better one can hide their tracks."

Gu Lin, who had caught up, struck up a conversation.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Gu Lin is very skilled in the art of concealment."

Chu Luobai turned around calmly. This wasn't a joke; it was a genuine compliment.

After all, in their previous life, when the two of them were escaping together, Gu Lin often chose the routes and erased any clues about himself in advance.

That's how they escaped the encirclement and annihilation by Mu Yurou and Fu Chengan.

"Know a thing or two."

Gu Lin wasn't shy at all; his expression showed he quite enjoyed it.

"Judging by today's sun, Xunying Studio has probably already given out all its signboards."

"If Fellow Daoist Chu wants to find out any information, you'll have to go early tomorrow and queue up."

As Gu Lin spoke, it was as if he had remembered something.

"By the way, if Fellow Daoist Chu is seeking valuable information, remember to prepare your treasures in advance. Whether it's a high-level cultivation technique or a rare magic weapon, it's all acceptable. If you don't bring enough, you'll have to wait until the next day. Xunying Tower never accepts credit."

"It seems Fellow Daoist Gu is very familiar with the rules of Xunying Studio. Could it be that you are a regular customer of Xunying Studio?"

Chu Luobai looked around; she had never been to Xunying Studio in her previous life.

To be precise, when she arrived at Xunying Studio seeking some help, Xunying Studio and Xunying City had already been reduced to ruins.

The force known as 'Shadow' vanished from the world as if it had evaporated into thin air.

Nobody knows what actually happened.

All that is known is that when Fu Cheng'an led a group of demonic cultivators to Xunying City, the city was already deserted.

What exactly happened at Xunying Film Studio back then?

Chu Luobai was curious, but she didn't know most of the things, so even if she wanted to investigate, she didn't know where to start.

"A regular customer... well, you could say that."

Gu Lin reached out and took the map from Chu Luobai's hand, then drew several circles on it.

"These places are all fairly honest in business, and the sources of goods are also good. If Fellow Daoist Chu wants to buy or sell anything, just mention my name when you go to these places, and it will save you a lot of trouble."

Chu Luobai glanced at them and saw that Feilong Pavilion and Mihai Club were both well-known places in Xunying Studio.

The Mihai Society also has connections with the Western Sea and can obtain many precious materials unique to the Western Sea through special channels.

In addition, it has its own auction house, making it a really nice place.

"Want to join the Lost Sea Gathering? Today..."

Gu Lin stretched out his fingers and did some calculations before continuing.

"This evening is the opening time of the Misty Sea Auction House. Before that, there will be a closing session where cultivators can exchange resources on their own. Among them are some good items that cultivators have privately collected. If Fellow Daoist Chu is confident in his eyesight, he can also go and try his luck."

So kind?

Chu Luobai glanced at Gu Lin with some curiosity, but quickly understood.

This information may seem convenient and useful, but you can find out quickly if you pay more attention and ask around.

Using such trivial news to get closer to him is indeed one of Gu Lin's common tactics.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Gu. If I find something good, I will certainly not forget your kindness."

After saying that, Chu Luobai turned around and walked straight towards the direction of the Misty Sea Society.

The information she wants is very expensive, so she needs to find a way to exchange it for some resources in her own hands first.

As one of the three major forces of Xunying Studio, the Mihai Society's headquarters is located on the busiest street in Xunying Studio.

The first to third floors are for ordinary people to trade, while the fourth floor and above are where cultivators trade.

Outside the vermilion roof is a huge terrace, from which you can overlook the entire Xun Cinema.

As soon as Chu Luobai reached the door, a servant came to greet him.

"Is this immortal master looking to purchase some materials? Our guild recently imported a new batch of top-quality materials from the East Sea..."

The servant deliberately spoke in riddles, trying to arouse Chu Luobai's curiosity.

Chu Luobai glanced at the servant in front of him. He was no ordinary person; he had some cultivation, probably at the early stage of Qi Refining.

Even a lowly greeter is at the Qi Refining stage, which shows that the Misty Sea Pavilion is indeed as wealthy and powerful as rumored.

"No need, I have something I want to sell."

Chu Luobai raised his hand and showed the storage ring in his hand.

The servant understood immediately and quickly led the person into the building, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Having spent so long in the Misty Sea Society, he naturally possesses a keen eye for detail.

The cultivator before them revealed no trace of her cultivation level, yet one could still sense the oppressive aura emanating from her every word and action.

Such a person must possess something extraordinary.

I think I'll make a fortune this time.

The servant led Chu Luobai uphill.

"Immortal Master, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting our Enchanted Sea Gathering?"

Chu Luobai nodded slightly and looked around. There were quite a few people in the building, bustling about.

“Our Mihai Society’s first to third floors are for mortals to use, and we often trade things that mortals consider precious.”

"However, they felt that rare items would definitely not catch the eye of the immortal masters."

The servant explained things with great insight.

"This is the fourth floor. Later, the immortal masters will come here to report the magical treasures they brought. If Immortal Master Chu wants anything, you can also come here to try your luck."

"A few years ago, a treasure map was found here. It was hidden inside a low-level cultivation manual. The seller didn't recognize its value and sold it for a few low-level spirit stones."

"Later, I heard that the buyer found a treasure map and even found a treasure left behind by a powerful figure. How could the seller be happy? The Qingzhou region has gained another enemy."

The servant shook his head as he spoke, his tone complex.

Chu Luobai had indeed heard about this matter, but in the end, it was the Immortal Alliance that intervened.

Neither of the two cultivators had high cultivation levels, and neither of them had any particularly powerful sects behind them, so they could only let the Immortal Alliance 'mediate' for them.

However, it is said that neither of them met a good end.

The treasure left behind by that powerful figure was taken into custody by the Immortal Alliance. The two voluntarily reconciled within the Immortal Alliance and, after leaving,...

Chu Luobai shook his head. The saying goes, "Wealth should not be flaunted," especially when possessing magical treasures that don't match one's cultivation level...

We must be even more careful with our words and actions.

Seeing that Chu Luobai remained silent, the servant quickly tried to find a way to explain himself.

"However, there are few things that sellers don't care about. If you are interested in buying something, you don't need to worry too much. After that incident, our Mihai Society had everyone sign a sales contract, with prices and sales voluntarily set."

"If we do something like trying to find someone afterward, we'll be going against the entire Misty Sea Society!"
