I was surprised, but I still calmly replied, "Okay, let's meet now. You can name a place."
"The location is downstairs from your hotel. I've already found a spot. You and your friends, come on over."
The person who came seemed to know me very well. It was obvious that he had been secretly monitoring us and had even started following us a long time ago. We need to be more careful in the future.
After hanging up the phone, I told Xiang Fei and the others what had happened. Xiang Fei's expression also turned serious. "This person is not simple, but we still have to go and meet him."
"Yes, that's right. Let's see what tricks he's trying to pull."
The five of us went downstairs, and as soon as we reached the lobby, we saw a man waving at us from a corner. He was a man dressed in a very scholarly manner.
We walked over, and the man greeted us warmly. Next to him sat a woman, a very fashionable woman who could be described as glamorous.
"Mr. Liu Zhihua, welcome to Emei. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The man extended his hand to shake mine, and then took out a business card. "This is my business card. I hope we can become friends."
Upon receiving the business card, I saw it read, "Institute of Ancient Chinese Culture, Luo Wanjun".
I chuckled to myself, "The Institute of Ancient Chinese Culture? It's probably just a front for something else."
After everyone took their seats, Luo Wanjun had already ordered the tea. "Masters, although this is our first meeting, I have already heard of you all. I invited you here today because I have something I would like to discuss with you. If any of you are interested in cooperating with me, I would be honored."
Then Luo Wanjun asked Xiang Fei and the others their names, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
I took a sip of tea and said directly, "Speak, what do you want to do?"
"Haha, Mr. Liu Zhihua is indeed straightforward. Then I won't be pretentious either. To be honest, the main reason I came to see you this time is to cooperate with you in finding a place to become an immortal."
We had already expected this answer, so we weren't too surprised. I put down my teacup and asked, "If you want to cooperate with us, how do you plan to cooperate?"
Luo Wanjun smiled and gestured to the woman next to him, "This is my secretary. She will now show you the details of our cooperation. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it."
The woman stood up, took out several documents from her handbag, and handed them to us.
I took the document, opened it, and glanced at it. I was surprised to find that it was a business plan with very detailed information about the cooperation.
Their goal is to find the place where immortals can be attained, which means to unravel the mystery of the ancient Shu. To put it simply, the cooperation involves us providing manpower, and the other party providing money to act as an assistant and provide very important clues.
They will even provide us with the most advanced instruments in the world for exploration. Most importantly, they have invited experts in ancient Shu culture, authorities in this field, who can fully understand ancient Shu characters.
"Heh, it seems you've prepared quite thoroughly," I said, placing the proposal on the table. "Let's get straight to the point: do you want to find a place to achieve immortality or obtain the method to achieve immortality? And who's the boss behind you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Wanjun's face flashed with an uncertain expression. "Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing."
"Hehe, we don't want to know too much, but since you all know so much about us, how could we possibly know nothing about you?"
The atmosphere became tense. Luo Wanjun looked at me, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you some of the truth."
"According to reliable sources we've received, there are methods to achieve immortality within the Immortal Ascension Ground. And we are indeed errand runners for people. The people behind us are extraordinary, you could say they are big shots in the business and political worlds. Well, that's all I can reveal. Otherwise, knowing too much won't be good for you. I'm doing this for your sake. I also want to remind you that although you are famous Yin-Yang and Feng Shui masters in the underworld, in the eyes of some people, you are still like ants. They can make you die however they want you to die." By the end, Luo Wanjun's expression had turned somewhat cold.
I glanced at Xiang Fei and saw that his face was also grim. It was clear that he was in danger of us. However, we had to admit that what he said was true. In modern society, we Yin-Yang Masters are just tools in the eyes of some people. But then again, wasn't it the same in every dynasty?
Back then, Liu Bowen helped Zhu Yuanzhang establish his dynasty and conquer the country, but in the end, he was still killed by Zhu Yuanzhang on trumped-up charges. Ultimately, he could not escape the calamity of fate.
"Are you threatening us?" Xiang Fei said coldly.
One hundred and forty-five heroes from all sides
"Haha, not at all, I was just saying. Don't be angry, everyone. I'm looking forward to cooperating with you all. Don't worry, if we succeed, you'll get plenty of benefits. Now let's start discussing how to cooperate."
"Alright, since you want to cooperate with us, what kind of leads do you have? You should at least offer some kind of reward, right?" I asked with a forced smile.
"Haha, that's easy. Since we want to cooperate with you, we must be prepared. To tell you the truth, we have a fragmented map of the Immortal Ascension Land. If we combine it with the one you have, it should be complete, and finding the Immortal Ascension Land will not be a problem," Luo Wanjun said, looking at me.
My heart skipped a beat. The other party was indeed skilled. They must already know that I have several maps of the Immortal Ascension Land. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to hide it anymore.
