Immortal of the Nine Realms

Sure enough, the Yin Walkers from Myriad Immortal Palace paused when they heard the other party’s words.

One of them sneered, “Third-transformation sword cultivator? Just a remnant immortal, useless in this situation. You might as well keep that information and sell it to someone else.”

The Myriad Immortal Palace cultivators left, but the Yin Walker who intended to sell the information stood still, staring at them with a dark expression.

Chang Yuan glanced at Fang Chen, feeling a bit puzzled. “Fellow Daoist Ji, are you interested in this news as well?”

Both of these were greater Yin Demons. Why would they be interested in news from the mortal world?

“To be honest, we also know a few Yin Walkers, and this matter might be related to them,” Fang Chen said. “If I want to buy the information from him, how should I proceed inside Luotian City?”

“The rules among Yin Walkers are self-established. For example, his trade with the Myriad Immortal Palace Yin Walkers was to first provide the information, then receive payment. That’s why he hasn’t gotten any Yin Lifespan Coins.

“However, although the Myriad Immortal Palace cultivators are arrogant, they are still trustworthy. Their information is usually delayed and loses its value, which is why they refuse to pay,” Chang Yuan smiled. “I can help you arrange this. The fee won’t be too high. Just casually give Brother Ji three to five Yin Lifespan Coins as a token. As for the value of the information he offers, Brother Ji can estimate and make an offer accordingly.”

“Yin Lifespan Coins...”

Fang Chen looked at Yang Yuanwu, who immediately understood. Dark energy surged within him, and three Yin Lifespan Coins suddenly appeared in his hand, which he directly handed to Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan accepted the Yin Lifespan Coins but his interest in the two diminished greatly, and his demeanor was no longer as friendly, becoming somewhat indifferent.

In his eyes, any greater Yin Demon here with some status would carry some Yin Lifespan Coins with them.

They wouldn’t directly use their own lifespan to condense these coins unless absolutely necessary.

These two couldn’t even produce three Yin Lifespan Coins and had to rely on condensing their own yin life, which showed there wasn’t much profit to be made from them.

In fact, Fang Chen truly could not take out any Yin Lifespan Coins.

Since receiving Monarch Yan’s inheritance and possessing the Monarch Yan’s Seal within his body, any items purely constructed from karmic effects, like Yin Lifespan Coins or Blood Spirit Pills, would be absorbed by the Monarch Yan’s Seal as soon as they came into his hands.

“Brother, they want to buy the information you have. I’ll help connect you with them,” Chang Yuan said calmly as he approached the Yin Walker who intended to sell the information.

Chang Yuan’s status in Luotian City was special. The moment the Yin Walker saw him, a flattering smile appeared on his face. He also glanced at Fang Chen and Yang Yuanwu, and upon realizing they were native greater Yin Demons, his eyes brightened immediately.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chang, for the introduction. This is just a small token of my appreciation,” he said, promptly taking out five Yin Lifespan Coins and handing them to Chang Yuan.

A satisfied expression appeared on Chang Yuan’s face as he nodded lightly. “I won’t intervene in this transaction. You can negotiate on your own.”

In a private room of the teahouse, after Fang Chen and Yang Yuanwu took their seats, the Yin Walker smiled and said, “My surname is Gong. May I ask how you two address yourselves?”

“Ji Tiandu,” Fang Chen replied.

Yang Yuanwu said nothing, his face cold. He had been instructed by Fang Chen not to talk much with this person. Also, Song Zhili’s alias was not suitable to mention in front of him.

“Fellow Daoist Gong, I just heard you mention the Creation Star. Is your information related to it?” Fang Chen asked with a smile.

Gong Tianxin’s eyes flickered.

These two greater Yin Demons wanted to know information related to the Creation Star? Quite rare indeed.

After all, the Nine Regions of the Mortal Realm were so vast that even Yin Walkers might not know what the Creation Star was. Let alone the native Yin Demons.

With this in mind, Gong Tianxin cautiously asked, “Fellow Daoist Ji, why are you interested in matters of the Nine Regions of the Mortal Realm?”

“I already told Fellow Daoist Chang. We know a few Yin Walker friends who also come from the Creation Star. Perhaps this information will be useful to them,” Fang Chen smiled. “May I ask, Fellow Daoist Gong, what price do you intend to set for this information?”

Gong Tianxin’s thoughts stirred. Although the cultivation aura of the two in front was subtle, he could keenly sense that both were at least second transformation greater Yin Demons. Such beings could be considered local overlords in the Floating Pagoda Realm, and surely had considerable assets.

“Fellow Daoist Ji, to be honest, the information I obtained may not be useful to your friends, but very few know about it. Its value... I think it’s worth 300 Yin Lifespan Coins,” Gong Tianxin said after some contemplation.

“300 Yin Lifespan Coins?” Fang Chen was somewhat surprised by the price.

Perhaps because over the years he had been bestowing Yin Demons with thousands or even tens of thousands of years of Yin Lifespan Coins, hearing hundreds suddenly made him realize that these first transformation scattered immortals were still struggling for such a small amount.

“This price isn’t entirely non-negotiable...” Seeing Fang Chen’s expression, Gong Tianxin thought he found the price a bit high and immediately intended to lower it.

“The price is indeed a bit high. We are just worried your information might affect our friends... Maybe we are overthinking it. Good people have heaven’s favor. It seems Fellow Daoist Gong made a trip for nothing...” Fang Chen showed a hint of apology on his face.

Gong Tianxin was stunned.

Did the other party just get scared off by his price and intend not to do the deal?

But he had already given the intermediary five Yin Lifespan Coins! That was five years’ worth! That was not a small amount.

“Fellow Daoist Ji, this information is very important to the Creation Star. If you have friends who are Yin Walkers from the Creation Star, it is equally important to them and must not be missed,” Gong Tianxin said solemnly. “I have a special status, and very few besides me know of this matter. How about this... I’ll take 200 Yin Lifespan Coins and I’ll tell you everything in detail.”

“I just heard Fellow Daoist Gong mention a third transformation sword cultivator. My friend has no connection with such a being. I guess this matter also has nothing to do with him,” Fang Chen smiled and stood up.

Yang Yuanwu also stood. Seeing the two about to leave, a flash of anger crossed Gong Tianxin’s eyes.

Damn it!

Five Yin Lifespan Coins just thrown to the dogs?!

He shifted his expression and forced a smile.

“The news about the third transformation sword cultivator has nothing to do with your friend, but there’s another piece of information that will have an extremely profound impact on the Creation Star, possibly lasting thousands of years! This matter is related to the Myriad Immortal Palace,” Gong Tianxin said gravely. “If your friend can gain something from this matter, the benefits would be immense!”

“My relationship with them is ordinary. I just want to sell a favor. Fellow Daoist Gong should know how important Yin Lifespan Coins are to us.

No matter how big the matters in the Nine Regions of the Mortal Realm are, they can’t affect the Floating Pagoda Realm,” Fang Chen said with difficulty.

“If the price is too high, I would truly be in a tough spot...”

Heh... Calling me your friend?

Gong Tianxin sneered inwardly but showed hesitation, as if making a big decision. He grit his teeth and said, “100 Yin Lifespan Coins, and I’ll tell you everything!”

“Deal,” Fang Chen looked at Yang Yuanwu.
