Beep—beep—

"Finally, news about the divine remains?" Lü Fengxian's communication bracelet began to flash. She stood up and left, returning the chair to its original position as she did so. "Grandpa, everyone, please enjoy your meal. I have some matters to attend to, so please excuse me..."

"Go."

Squeak—

Beep—

She opened the side room door, closed it behind her, and leaned against the door to open her communication app.

"Young Master Fengxian... I am the Japanese Group's secret guard, codename 9527..."

"Tell me, how's the investigation going?"

"Through my tireless investigation, judging from the movement patterns of the divine-level ferocious beasts, it is highly likely that the Kun will lay its divine-level remains near [Sand Sculpture City], and the remains of the Xuanwu are already under the control of the Mai clan in [Sand Wall City]..."

"I understand. Then come back quickly and be careful."

"Yes, Master."

*Slap*

The virtual video call suddenly contracted, flashed a cross-shaped light, and then disappeared.

at the same time…

In another side room, Song Yunxiang was making a phone call in a mysterious manner.

"Song Gongzi... old man Hong Fang..."

"Oh, it's Manager Hong... What can I do for you?"

Look, it's true what they say, "one gets fat when one is near pigs." Old Song has learned the essence of Old Lü's teachings.

"You're joking. There's no advice at all. We've just found out about the few herbs you're missing... Our Hong Clan Merchant Guild has a way to get one of them, and we're currently sourcing it from Beizhou through our branch in Lingyin City..."

"Um…"

Elder Hong continued, "As for the other two ingredients, they are from my country, but don't worry, we have the channels for them, it just might take a little more time..."

"These are all manageable, but the last main ingredient, [Boundless Flower], is a bit troublesome..."

"The Boundless Flower is extremely rare... So far, we have only managed to locate one..."

"It's in the hands of the Mai family in [Sand Sculpture City]... You might need to make the trip yourself."

(You can go get some water and take a break.)

Sand Sculpture City of the Lower Realm.

Located on the eastern border of the Lower Region Kingdom.

Surrounded by the [Death Desert], it is an important military stronghold for the Lower Domain Kingdom to defend against the ferocious beasts of the Southern Wilderness and suppress the demon tribes. With the rapid expansion of the territory into the eastern desert region... a large population has gathered here...

The sand sculpture city, which was built less than a hundred years ago, has undergone several large-scale expansions.

Within the towering walls, the area was gradually divided into four zones: [Outer], [West], [Central], and [Inner]...

The powerful and wealthy families, protected by layers of city walls, enjoyed a life of luxury and decadence in the inner city, with almost everyone embracing five or six demonic pets and living a life of debauchery.

The West District is home to 90% of the military forces of Sand Sculpture City, responsible for the security of the entire city.

Although it stands independently outside the three layers of city walls and is only connected to the outermost wall, it is the most defensively strong place in the entire Sand Sculpture City, bar none.

The [Central District], built around the inner city, is quite different. It's the economic lifeline of the entire Sand Sculpture City, where commerce, auction houses, the demon slave market, restaurants, and various entertainment venues are all concentrated...

It can be described as the "special district" of the entire city, just like the sex street of a certain island country on [Blue Star].

There's not much to say about the outermost [outer city area], it can be summed up in three words: "slum"!

------------- (A high-energy transition?)

"System, redeem a Speed-Down eavesdropping device."

[Ding, redemption successful, item added to your inventory.]

“By the way… could you please stop using that ‘ding’ sound?” Lü Fengxian’s lips twitched slightly. She then stuck the quick-peeping device to the wall, put on her earpiece, and said, “Never mind, don’t say anything yet. Let me listen for a bit.”

Hmm… this bugging device looks exactly like a stethoscope.

[Without a 'ding,' it's soulless, violating the system's basic protocol. Besides, didn't you already see that? Why are you still eavesdropping?]

"I forgot about these little details, is that not okay?"

Skynet System: 凸(艹皿艹 )

It must be said that anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Then, Elder Hong's voice came clearly, "The Mai family, who possess that Boundless Flower, is located in the western district of Sand Sculpture City. They belong to the expansionist faction of the Mulu clan of the Lower Domain Kingdom..."

"Expansionists? Looks like it's necessary to assassinate a few radicals..." Lü Fengxian muttered to herself, subconsciously stroking her slightly stubbled chin. "Emm... I'll use Milon's mech to assassinate them, frame another country, let them fight like dogs, hehe..."

"what is this?"

He touched his stubble.

"Wait a minute... my beard is sprouting? It actually managed to pierce the skin of a mid-stage Heaven Rank expert like myself. It seems this stubble is at least at the mid-stage Heaven Rank cultivation level..."

popping.

He slapped his cheeks twice. "Ugh, what the hell did I do? There are no outsiders here. Who am I trying to fool? I don't even get any emotional points."

Refocus on wiretapping.

"The Mai family controls more than 60% of the military force in the West District, making them one of the three major forces in Sand Sculpture City..." Old Hong's voice was still clear and accurate, deserving high praise.

"If they are neutral or moderate individuals, then we can still have some influence thanks to our Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce, but..."

"That damn expansionist... I'm sorry... but this expansionist faction is extremely hostile towards us merchants from the Heavenly Capital Kingdom, it's a bit troublesome..."

"hiss…"

"Hoo..." Song Yunxiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I understand. You don't need to worry about the Boundless Flower. First, tell me when the other ingredients will arrive."

At this moment, Lü Fengxian scratched her chin, slightly puzzled, "How strange, why can this bugging device even hear breathing? This doesn't make sense..."

[Host, please refrain from asking about the system's advanced technology.]

"Oh."

"Let me calculate... a conservative estimate... it will take about ten days..."

Old Hong paused for a moment, followed by a series of beeping sounds, "Um... [Thousand-Foot Tendon] and [Purple Sand Gall] are in the hands of the research institute controlled by the Samarin family in the Lower Domain Kingdom, but... they don't accept monetary transactions... they only accept barter... you have to exchange them for ferocious beast materials..."

"..."

After eavesdropping for a while, Lü Fengxian still hadn't gotten the information she wanted. "You old Song, you're even avoiding your own buddies, huh? Where the hell is the [Star Lord's Secret Realm]?"

"Stop reminiscing in your head, can't you just talk to yourself for a second?"

"If I had known that playing with models could lead to time travel... I would have memorized all these water-related plot points. Damn it...!"

[Host, what the hell do you mean by this? Are you lusting after the Star Lord System? You're truly despicable!]

"What are you barking about, you dog? Star Lord 2.0 is a girl, and you? You're just a 'mudfish'!"

【You… Hmph! You've infuriated this system!】

Beep—beep—beep—

Suddenly, the SkyNet system brought up a row of virtual keyboards, dragon claws flew, and segments of data floated out, changing the system's image. In the blink of an eye, a chibi-style little dragon transformed into an adorable little dragon girl.

Skynet System: (¬︿??¬☆)

"Plan is in place!" Lü Fengxian revealed an expression that suggested she loved taking notes.

P.S.: Guys, the next phase is about to begin, sorry… ┭┮﹏┭┮
