After the two arrived at the private room, the waiter went out to look for someone.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and Jiang Wuyuan wasn't the type of person who needed to find topics to chat about.
Moreover, he is currently pondering a question, which is—
This secret realm looks completely different from other secret realms.
The difference is that the 'people' here all seem to possess intelligence.
Or rather, they are not copies that are merely replicated and only operate according to prescribed actions.
Rather, they are genuine 'people' capable of independent thinking.
But as projections, their original bodies are already dead, so how can they still do this?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Wuyuan came to a conclusion.
No matter the secret realm, there will always be an anchor point.
The anchor point of the Ice Age Secret Realm is the third-tier alien race that finally controlled the entire secret realm, while the anchor point of the secret realm where you encounter Senior Feng Zhang is Senior Feng Zhang and those remnant souls who still exist in the secret realm.
Now, this secret realm of returning from a hundred battles must also have an anchor point.
If that's the case, then the mysterious predecessor who created this secret realm must have possessed extraordinary strength, enough to make the projection reach such an unprecedented level.
However, Jiang Wuyuan did not verify this guess with the sword spirit.
Because after a brief period of consciousness, the Blade Spirit fell back into a deep sleep.
Jiang Wuyuan usually wouldn't disturb him at times like this.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't have time to think for long, because the manager of Jindulou soon arrived at the private room.
Somewhat surprisingly, the person in charge looked very young, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. She wasn't very tall either, but she had an extraordinary air about her.
Like a celestial child descended from the heavens, who mistakenly entered the mortal world, yet remained beautiful.
"Honored guest, it's a pleasure to meet you." The female manager bowed in Zhuang Yaoqing's direction. "It's our Jindu Restaurant that has failed to provide adequate hospitality. Yu Tong, why don't you quickly fetch some of the finest tea and snacks?"
The waiter following behind her responded and hurried away.
Jiang Wuyuan thought to himself that the mask was indeed very powerful, but it was just that it was overlooked. This little thing was completely within his acceptable range.
It really helped him develop his ability to speak first: "Nice to meet you. We're here to sell something."
The girl didn't find it strange that she suddenly heard Jiang Wuyuan's voice, even though she seemed to have completely noticed that there was someone else here: "This honored guest, I was negligent just now."
I have examined the items you wish to sell; they are all of excellent quality and quite old. Since our esteemed guest is so sincere, Jin Du Lou cannot be outdone.
"Look, thirteen spiritual herbs, totaling 105,000 gold coins, what do you think?"
Jiang Wuyuan didn't know what 105,000 gold coins meant in this world, but with such a big brand as Jin Du Lou, it wouldn't risk ruining its own business, so Jiang Wuyuan directly agreed: "Okay, deal."
A genuine smile immediately appeared on the girl's face: "What a generous customer! I'll arrange for someone to fetch the money right away."
After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Zhuang Yaoqing's figure: "Distinguished guest, I have seen the goods you are selling. To be honest, it is a very novel thing, so I hope you can let us verify it. After all, we have never seen such a thing before."
Zhuang Yaoqing naturally understood what they wanted to verify—the medicinal properties of the medicine.
In order to make money, he had to be generous this time: "I have three more bottles of the same potion here. You can take the three bottles that you still have and experiment with them. Consider these three bottles as the ones I sold to you."
"In that case, thank you very much." The girl's smile became more genuine. She turned her head slightly to look at the waiter who had brought over the pastries and tea, and softly instructed, "Take good care of our two distinguished guests."
"yes."
——
As expected, Zhuang Yaoqing's medicine passed the test.
According to him, his alchemy skills were ranked second, if not first, among the students of Jiangnan Academy.
Jiang Wuyuan neither confirmed nor denied this; he simply didn't know and let the man spout nonsense.
The two left Jindulou together with the freshly minted money.
Before they left, the young-looking manager called out to them: "Two distinguished guests, judging from your youthful appearance, you must have just come from a major sect for training."
Coincidentally, there is a fortuitous opportunity near our Spring Palace City, deep in the Xuan Shui Forest, not far west of the city. It will be obtained by the destined one.
If you two are interested, you can go and take a look.
Jiang Wuyuan was somewhat interested.
After all, what's the point of coming to the secret realm? Isn't it for the opportunity?
Now that it happens to be available, I naturally want to take a look.
Zhuang Yaoqing asked, "What type of opportunity is it?"
"It is said that a treasure has appeared in the world, after all, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth have already manifested once. However, according to the people of Tianji Tower, the treasure will not be fully revealed for another half month, and more than seven days have passed now."
Strange phenomenon?
Tianji Gate?
Is it similar to the ability to tell fortunes? Jiang Wuyuan pondered.
"Thank you for informing me." Zhuang Yaoqing cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and pulled Jiang Wuyuan away.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't say much about his behavior, but simply used a clever move to free his arm from being pulled: "Are you going?"
"A treasure has descended upon the world! Who wouldn't want to go?"
Jiang Wuyuan nodded: "Then let's split up."
He also wants the treasure, but if they go together, there won't be enough treasures to go around, so they'll have to rely on their own abilities.
Zhuang Yaoqing scratched his head; he had almost forgotten about it.
But he's just an alchemist. To put it bluntly, his ability to protect himself is practically zero. At most, he can take a beating because he can take some medicine after being beaten.
If we let such a top-notch fighter escape... cough cough cough, it doesn't seem right for Jiang to say it like that. Anyway, if we let such a powerful figure go, he'll have to worry about his own strength.
Then he had a sudden inspiration.
"How about this, Jiang? If that treasure is a spiritual herb, you can give it to me, and we can trade credits after we leave the secret realm. Of course, if the treasure isn't a spiritual herb, I won't take it, but I'll still give you credits as protection money for protecting me all the way. What do you think?"
Anyway, as an alchemist, the last thing he lacks is money!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan glanced at him.
To be honest, he didn't want to bring a burden along.
But since they're offering money, we can talk about it.
"I'm only responsible for safety, not as a babysitter."
"Of course, of course." Zhuang Yaoqing knew this meant he agreed, and a smile spread across his face. "I'm still a very reliable person!"
As expected, Han Zhaoqing was right. Although Jiang looks aloof, she is actually quite easy to get along with.
