"I heard that in addition to various commodities, your Treasure Pavilion also sells information?"
After deducting 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, Gu Qingcheng was still not in a hurry to settle the bill.
Her golden-brown eyes sparkled as she asked curiously, "Is searching for people and treasures okay?"
"sure!"
"As long as this person and this thing are still on the Five Continents Continent, our Treasure Pavilion will be able to find them or learn their whereabouts."
The shopkeeper said confidently.
Gu Qingcheng looked up at Pei Yan, who had a doting look on his face, as if letting her make the decision.
Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng did not discuss anything further, but directly stated her request according to her own ideas:
"Okay, then I want to know where Lu Ming of Lingxiao Sect is!"
"Lu Ming of Lingxiao Sect?"
The shopkeeper's expression was a little subtle.
Gu Qingcheng & Pei Yan: ...Oh no, something’s happening!
A complex expression flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes, and he quickly returned to his shrewd businessman demeanor.
He stretched out a finger, "One thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Spirit stones don't matter. What matters is whether the news you mentioned is worth the price!"
Gu Qingcheng continues to maintain her character setting of a spoiled little cat.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist! Our Treasure Pavilion sells genuine goods at fair prices, and we don't cheat anyone!"
The shopkeeper is still full of confidence.
The fact that they dare to quote a price shows that the product (news) is worth the money.
"That's good!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, agreeing to the price.
This was not a place for "confidential talks", so the shopkeeper led the man and the cat to the third floor.
They arrived at a relatively secret room. After the shopkeeper entered, he set up a barrier and then invited Pei Yan and Gu Qingcheng to take a seat.
After the two people and the cat sat down, the shopkeeper got straight to the point:
"My two fellow Daoists, I believe you also want to search for the whereabouts of the demon Lu Ming."
Devil?
This statement is earth-shattering!
Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan were both shocked.
Gu Qingcheng raised his furry head, while Pei Yan lowered his head. The eyes of the cat and the man met in mid-air.
Gu Qingcheng: ...It seems that in the past three hundred years, we have been busy training in the outer sea monster territory, and your brother Lu’s life is also very "wonderful".
Pei Yan: ...Indeed!
Three hundred years ago, Lu Ming was still a disciple of the famous Nth-generation immortal and the renowned Lingxiao Sect.
Three hundred years later, he transformed into a "devil".
Is he possessed by a demon?
Or is there some other origin?
"The story begins two hundred years ago..."
After the shopkeeper received the spirit stones, he worked extra attentively.
He recounted Lu Ming's story: "Lu Ming raised a demon cat—"
When he said this, the shopkeeper paused subconsciously and glanced at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng:...Oh no, it’s related to the heroine?
Soon Gu Qingcheng realized that, yes, the heroine looked like a white cat, but was actually the ancient mythical beast white tiger.
It's definitely a silver gradient.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a auspicious beast is a rare treasure.
The idea that possessing a treasure is a crime is particularly evident in the world of immortal cultivation.
The identity of the heroine is revealed?
Lu Ming was framed because he was in possession of a rare treasure?
Or, because the heroine was hurt, he was so angry that he fell into the path of evil?
Gu Qingcheng's little cat's head was filled with all kinds of melodramatic plots from immortal cultivation novels, and its pair of golden brown eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Lu Ming's half-brother Lu Li discovered that the white cat was abnormal and designed a training session to try to force the cat demon to reveal its true form."
"Inside the formation, the cat demon's bloodline was awakened, and it turned out to be the only remaining ancient mythical beast, the white tiger."
"What's even more unexpected is that Lu Ming actually sacrificed himself to break the formation in an attempt to save his demon pet."
"...Alas, Lu Ming was trapped in a chain of formations and was almost annihilated. At the critical moment, Baihu broke free from his confinement and fought to save his master."
"Lu Ming probably risked everything in his quest for a breakthrough, but he unexpectedly awakened the demon within him—"
When the shopkeeper talked about this big news in the world of immortal cultivation, his tone was quite emotional.
Perhaps in his opinion, although Lu Ming is a devil, he is also a man of character.
He would awaken the demon species and fall into the path of evil, mainly to save people.
And his demon pet did not let him down and risked its life to save him.
One man and one beast, never betraying each other.
"Demon seed? Isn't Lu Ming a descendant of the West Sea Lu family? How could he have a demon seed?"
Gu Qingcheng turned into a qualified listener. After hearing the wonderful passage, she subconsciously asked questions.
"Lu Ming is indeed the young master of the Xihai Lu family, but the ancestor of the Xihai Lu family was once a disciple of the Demon Lord Mo Yuan—"
The shopkeeper is indeed a qualified businessman. After receiving the spirit stones, he will do his best to answer questions and resolve doubts for customers.
In order to satisfy the customers, he did not hesitate to talk about old stories from thousands of years ago.
"The Demon Lord Mo Yuan was originally an Immortal Lord, but he fell into evil due to greed."
"When Demon Lord Mo Yuan was still an Immortal Lord, he accepted three personal disciples, and the ancestor of the Xihai Lu family was one of them."
"The world doesn't know whether there is a contract between them, but the demon seed in Lu Ming is indeed from the Demon Lord Mo Yuan."
"However, this demon seed has been sealed. Logically speaking, Lu Ming should not be possessed by the demon."
"...After Lu Ming became a demon, Elder Yaoguang of the Lingxiao Sect speculated. He suspected that Demon Lord Moyuan must have set up a hidden formation that, once triggered, would 'resurrect' the demon."
The shopkeeper explained slowly.
Gu Qingcheng's heart had already been in turmoil.
