Xue Huan: "I don't know where to go yet. I'll just walk and see. This is mainly for training. As you know, my cultivation has been improving a bit too fast recently."

Lou Mingkun nodded: "Indeed, it's time to go out and gain some experience to consolidate your cultivation."

Although he was worried, his daughter would grow up and inherit the Huanqing Sect from him and become the leader of the sect. If he didn't let her go and experience the world, she would be the only one who would suffer in the future. After all, he couldn't always watch over her. She would have to move forward on her own path of cultivation.

Even with this in mind, he couldn't let his mind go, so he stuffed a bunch of supplies into Xue Huan's arms, and even gave her hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

Xue Huan was helpless. "Dad, I really don't need so much. You know, I have alchemy skills now. Even if I'm short of money, I can make some elixirs and magic tools and sell them. I won't be short of money."

Lou Mingkun: "What you earn is yours, what I give you is mine, keep it. If it's not enough, you can send a communication talisman to dad anytime."

Xue Huan's eyes were filled with tears. "Well, okay, I'll be leaving now. Dad, you have to take care of yourself."

"I know. Dad is such a grown-up, how could he not know how to take care of himself? But you, you must be more careful when you go out, and don't be soft-hearted to people, otherwise you may end up hurting yourself." Lou Mingkun warned worriedly.

When Xue Huan disappeared from sight on her flying sword, Lou Mingkun sighed dejectedly.

Noticing Yang Zhao approaching, he said, "What do you think? Should I quietly attach myself to Yue'er and protect her from the shadows?"

Yang Zhao: "If you go, what will happen to the huge mess in the sect?"

"Don't we have you here? I feel at ease leaving the sect to you to take care of."

"Hmph, forget it. You said you don't trust Xinyue, but I think you want to give up and abandon the sect, right?"

"No way, how could you assume that about me?"

"Whether it's speculation or not, you know it yourself. Anyway, as the Sect Master, you can't leave the Sect. If you're really worried about Xinyue, then send a Jindan Zhenren, like me. I'm very willing to secretly protect Xinyue's niece."

"Don't even think about it! I think you just want to follow her and eat Yue'er's food. Forget that idea."

…

The two of them are hundreds of years old together, but when they argue, they act like children.

However, after Xue Huan left the sect on her flying sword, she went straight to Feixian City, the city closest to the Huanhai Mountains.

It is said that a long time ago, a powerful monk ascended to heaven and became an immortal here, so this place got this name.

There is an organization in the world of cultivation that specializes in intelligence work - the Golden Cicada Pavilion. If you want to find out some information or find someone, this is the right place to come.

Jinchan Pavilion has branches in every town in the East Continent, but as for the headquarters, no outsider knows where it is.

Xue Huan came to Feixian City just to go to Jinchan Pavilion to inquire about Yuan Xi's news.

She didn't know what his identity was in this copy, so she could only rely on his face to find out where he was.

Stepping into the Jinchan Pavilion, Xue Huan walked into one of the empty rooms. The room was not big, more like a compartment. There were dozens of such compartments of different sizes in the Jinchan Pavilion, all of which were used to receive guests who came to buy or sell information.

In the compartment, there was only a low table and two cushions. A man wearing an eagle mask that could block spiritual consciousness was sitting cross-legged behind the low table. Xue Huan walked over and sat down on the cushion opposite him.

He handed over the three portraits of Yuan Xi that he had drawn before coming.

The portrait shows Yuan Xi in three different periods: a child, a teenager and a young man.

No matter which period he is in, his appearance will not change.

It's strange to say, after they entered the copy, their appearance and body were still their own, but the things they originally had on their bodies disappeared (temporarily taken over by the housekeeper elf), and other attributes of their bodies were also personalized.

This is also the reason why Xue Huan wanted to find Yuan Xi through his portrait.

"I want to find him and know everything there is to know about him."

The man behind the low table took a look at the three portraits. They were so lifelike, as if they were rubbings of real people, but he was very sure that he had no information about this person in his mind.

There are two possibilities. One is that this person has exceeded his intelligence access permissions. In Jinchan Pavilion, receptionists are also divided into different levels. The higher the level of the receptionist, the higher the level of intelligence they can view. The level is assessed based on the intelligence information they provide.

The more important the information provided to the superiors, the higher the evaluation points the receptionist can obtain. When the points accumulate to a certain level, they can be promoted.

After upgrading, the benefits you gain are not only the improvement of access permissions, but also many other benefits.

Another possibility is that this person is not in the area where the Jinchan Pavilion's information network covers.

Even though the Jinchan Pavilion's information network is very large, it is impossible for it to cover the entire East Continent.

Although Jin Chan Pavilion claims to know everything, in fact, there are many things in this world that Jin Chan Pavilion does not know.

"Please wait a moment, sir." The receptionist stood up with the portrait, opened a door behind him that was integrated with the wall, and walked in.

After a while, he came out and said, "There is currently no information about this person in the Golden Cicada Pavilion. Would you like to issue the Golden Cicada Order?"

When the guest cannot find the information he wants to find out in the Jinchan Pavilion, he can spend money to issue the Jinchan Order, and then the Jinchan Pavilion will send people to various places to inquire about the information within a certain time limit. If there is no result within the time limit, the Jinchan Pavilion can return 50% of the spirit stones.

Could it be that even the Golden Cicada Pavilion didn't know about Yuan Xi? Could it be that he wasn't in the Eastern Continent, but on another continent?

The people of the East Continent knew about the existence of other continents, but crossing the East Continent to reach other continents was as difficult as climbing to the sky, because there was a vast ocean between the East Continent and the other continents, and many ferocious sea beasts lived in the sea. In addition, the weather at sea was bad, and even monks found it difficult to resist. Crossing the sea by boat was very dangerous.

Once you go, be prepared to never come back.

Thinking of this, Xue Huan couldn't help but frown, "How much does it cost to issue the Golden Cicada Order?"

The receptionist explained, "Golden Cicada Orders have different levels. From highest to lowest, they are: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The prices are 100,000 Spirit Stones, 70,000, 30,000, and 10,000 respectively. The validity period for a Yellow-level Golden Cicada Order is two months, for a Profound-level order six months, for a Earth-level order one year, and for a Heaven-level order three years. After you issue a Golden Cicada Order, our Golden Cicada Pavilion will work as quickly as possible to obtain the information you seek. If there is no result within the time limit, half of the Spirit Stones will be returned to you."

A full refund is impossible, after all, Jinchan Pavilion would not work for nothing.

As for the situation where the guest issues the Golden Cicada Order, but the people of the Golden Cicada Pavilion are slacking off and pretending to gather information, but actually doing nothing, just waiting for the time to come to cheat the guest out of half of his spirit stones, this situation is impossible to happen. After all, the Golden Cicada Pavilion is in the business of gathering intelligence and will not damage its reputation.

Xue Huan thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy a prefecture-level one."

Let Jinchan Pavilion investigate for a year first. If there is no result by then, it means that Yuan Xi is probably not in the East Continent. She will have to consider crossing the sea to other continents.

"Okay, here is the deed, please take a look." The receptionist took out a deed of the Earth-level Golden Cicada Order and handed it over.
