Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

A low-grade Spirit Stone is roughly the size of a bottle cap, and is a very regular polyhedron.

Lu Wenwu’s palm, as big as a fan, grabbed at least dozens of them.

Including that young cultivator, many Qi Refining cultivators can’t earn this many Spirit Stones in half a month!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

The young cultivator swallowed hard and patted Xiaowu’s shoulder: ”Brother Wu rewards you, quickly put it away and thank Brother Wu.”

Only then did Xiaowu react, shivering all over, and bowed to Lu Wenwu.

”Thank you, Elder Wu, for the reward! Thank you, Elder Wu, for the reward!”

”No need to kneel here, a hand gesture is enough. Get up and show me around. Also, call me Brother Wu.”

”Yes, Brother Wu.”

The one giving money is the boss. Xiaowu had encountered some patrons before with little quirks in their titles and smoothly changed his address.

After storing away the Spirit Stones, he stood up and gestured, leading Lu Wenwu into the city.

”I wonder what the elder would like to know first?”

”Doesn’t matter, just pretend I’m here for an outing. Let’s stroll around and find some interesting places.”

”Then, please follow me this way, elder.”

Having understood this big patron’s needs, Xiaowu directly led Lu Wenwu forward along the main road.

”Elder, please look, this is a quite famous casino in the city, clean-handed. Although occasionally there’s a lucky one who gets rich overnight, most lose nine out of ten bets, and often there’s a cultivator who loses everything and goes to Soul-breaking Cliff to end their life.”

Casino?

Lu Wenwu wasn’t interested in gambling, so naturally, he wouldn’t go.

”This is Celestial Fragrance Pill Sect’s medicine shop, with a complete array of elixirs available. Even late Golden Core Stage elixirs can be offered, but need prior reservation, waiting for delivery from Celestial Fragrance Pill Sect.”

Elixir?

This sounds somewhat interesting.

Lu Wenwu walked over and took a glance, then left with a disappointed look on his face.

These elixirs are of poor quality, completely inferior to those from the system store, and he had no desire to purchase them.

”This is Celestial Star Sect’s miscellaneous goods store in the city that sells various common items and resources. If the elder has miscellaneous items to sell, they also recycle them, pricing reasonably but slightly low, however, with fairness.”

”The right side is Artifact Refining Sect’s...”

”This is Talisman Sect’s...”

”Here is...”

”This Celestial Star Sect does have a knack for business, setting up an entire commercial street.”

Listening to Xiaowu’s introduction, Lu Wenwu felt like he was walking down a pedestrian mall.

The Celestial Star City commercial street is neither too long nor too short.

Walking and looking in a cursory manner, soon he strolled from the city gate to the end of the street.

Lu Wenwu, with a large handful of Spirit Stones, actually wanted to experience the feeling of a person named Sha spending lavishly.

However, there was no opportunity here.

The items were too subpar, Brother Wu found them unimpressive.

On the entire street, only the talismans and arrays were somewhat interesting.

But mostly there were only Tier Two ones, prepared for the Foundation Establishment Stage, completely useless to Lu Wenwu.

”Brother Wu, the most prosperous East Gate Market Street of Celestial Star City has been explored. The other three directions of the city gates have markets directly under their jurisdiction. The North Gate deals in Spirit Plant business, the South Gate in Demon Beast business, and the West Gate in intelligence and luxury goods business. Where shall we proceed to next?”

”South Gate, let’s check out the place selling information, and tell me about this location.”

”Alright, Brother Wu, let’s go this way.”

Xiaowu led Lu Wenwu in another direction, detailing this place known for selling intelligence.

Celestial Secret Tower, the name is a bit tacky, akin to the stereotype of Joyful Union Sect and Yuelai Inn.

It is said to be a large organization spread across the world as early as before the Immortal Dao Alliance was established, engaging in assassination, fencing, black market auctions, and intelligence. It is not a sect but is superior to a sect.

Because it never participates in sect level ratings, and coupled with its own immeasurable strength, the Immortal Dao Alliance has no authority to demand a name change suffix from it.

Within the Celestial Secret Tower, its operation mode is somewhat akin to a bank.

Individual clients are in the hall, VIPs have private rooms.

Xiaowu was left in the waiting hall on the first floor.

Lu Wenwu spent two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones for confidentiality, accompanied a female cultivator up to a top-notch soundproof private room on the third floor.

”Fellow Daoist, you can state the information you wish to purchase.” said the female cultivator whose face couldn’t be seen.

”No rush, I want to sell two pieces of information first.”

Lu Wenwu had already carefully understood the operating mechanism of Celestial Secret Tower on the way here.

The female cultivator paused but said nothing, merely taking out two blank jade slips and placing them beside the spirit tea cup in front of Lu Wenwu, making a please gesture.

Lu Wenwu did not place them on his forehead as usual cultivators did.

He only swept his eyes toward the jade slips, and his spiritual power inscribed information onto them, causing them to glow slightly.

This technique clearly stunned the female cultivator, causing her to appear momentarily bewildered.

Even through a veil capable of blocking probing, the emotion was quite apparent.

Inscribing jade slips with Divine Sense from afar is something only extremely powerful Late Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul powerhouses can do!

She immediately bowed to show respect: ”Junior with eyes but can’t recognize Mount Tai, neglected the elder, still...”

”That’s not important. Look at the intelligence, give me an estimate.” Lu Wenwu waved his hand.

”Please wait a moment, elder.”

The female cultivator responded with a sound, then picked up the jade slips for a thorough read.

After just a few seconds of review, that shock and bewilderment of emotion appeared on her again.

A Demonic Loose Cultivator with Innate Spirit Root and Acquired Five Elements Spirit Root, at Qi Refining Great Perfection? Near Earth and Wood Temple?

A Demon King carrying a Divine Beast Cub struck Mad Blade Temple, killed Mad Saber Zhenren bravely, and went away after annihilating three elders?

What’s all this?

The female cultivator’s gaze at this moment was somewhat dazed.

Such occurrences in this tiny Eastern Desolate Territory?

Even though sitting before her was an individual suspected of being in the Nascent Soul Realm, she cautiously asked.

”Elder, according to Celestial Secret Tower’s rules, you need to provide corresponding evidence for corroboration. It’s not that junior doubts you, but these... these two pieces of information are indeed somewhat...”

”Evidence? Easily done, just go to Earth and Wood Temple and Mad Blade Temple to check. Over at Earth and Wood Temple, the Observatory Master and the elders have fled overnight and should be arriving here soon. Mad Blade Temple’s Mountain Protection Array is shattered, the mountain’s edge cut off, very easy to verify.”

Lu Wenwu hugged Mao Mao, who had transformed into a little pup, smiling gently and sipping tea.

The Celestial Secret Tower female cultivator paused, then made a gesture of respect: ”Elder, this matter is too significant for junior to decide, needs to report to higher-ups, please wait for a moment.”

”No problem.” Lu Wenwu naturally had no objection.

Whether he comes or not, those running away from Mad Blade Temple and Earth and Wood Temple would report him.

Anyway, he did the deed, might as well earn from it himself rather than letting others profit.

Though Spirit Stones are of little use to him, he wouldn’t let others benefit!

The efficiency of Celestial Secret Tower was immensely high, and in merely the time for one incense stick to burn, the female cultivator had returned.

A cyan-clothed man who was reportedly the Vice Tower Master of this division of Celestial Secret Tower also came along.

For these two pieces of information, Celestial Secret Tower was willing to pay Lu Wenwu two hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones, assuring him that they wouldn’t delve into the Immortal Dao Alliance’s rewards, allowing Lu Wenwu an extra profit.

Two hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones is quite a deal.

According to this world’s exchange rate, two hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones can easily be converted into more than twenty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones or two million low-grade Spirit Stones.

Much more than the total wealth of Mad Saber Zhenren, over a hundredfold.

This is the deserving reward corresponding to these explosive pieces of news, and Lu Wenwu accepted his compensation calmly, but without placing it in the Storage Bag.

The two hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones just rested in a specialized small box on the table.

The cyan-clothed Vice Tower Master also showed courteous behavior to Lu Wenwu: ”The True Monarch visits our Celestial Star City division, may I ask what information you wish to purchase?”

”I’m recently traveling the continent, somehow it just struck me to ponder the Cyan Profound Sword Sect that perished several thousand years ago, wishing to take a look. Is their information available here?” Lu Wenwu stated his genuine purpose for being here.
