"This is the Myriad Lands Jade Talisman. Even across the vast distance of one Eternal Ancient Continent, information can be transmitted as desired without any issues.

Moreover, operating the jade talisman is simple; as long as one possesses a Saint-level realm, it can be used normally."

Usable only by those who have reached Saint Entry!

Looking at the jade talisman in front of him, Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow.

The usage requirements of this Myriad Lands Jade Talisman took him by surprise.

But fortunately, only a Saint realm is needed for normal use. If it required the Divine Realm, that would have been somewhat troublesome.

In the vast Human Clan.

There is only that one Divine Realm powerhouse, the Barbarian God.

He had left the Human Clan only about three to four years ago, and in such a short time, it’s almost impossible for a Divine Realm powerhouse to emerge among the Human Clan.

With ten Sun and Moon Divine Crystals, he successfully traded for the Myriad Lands Jade Talisman.

Then.

Under the gaze of the other party, Shen Changqing left Yunyan Pavilion.

——

Watching the cultivators come and go in front of him, but none stopping, Ruan Chou secretly sighed.

He was a small cultivator from Falling Dragon Domain, his strength neither too strong nor too weak, barely hovering at the Saint Entry stage.

Due to his strength, he couldn’t gain much.

On normal days, he would mostly explore medium to small sites, to obtain some not-so-great treasures, which he could sell to gain some cultivation resources.

Suddenly.

A shadow blocked his stall.

Ruan Chou snapped out of his daze and looked up at the person in front of him, a warm smile appearing on his face.

"May I ask if there’s something you need—"

"Answer me a question. If you can answer, you will naturally benefit."

"Uh... please go ahead."

Ruan Chou wasn’t sure what the other party wanted to ask, but a chance to earn money couldn’t be refused.

If he didn’t earn some more money, life would become even harder.

Saint Cultivator.

Among the Heavens Myriad Clans, it really doesn’t count as much.

Not living at the very bottom, but close enough.

"How long have you been in Myriad Dragons City?"

"About a hundred or two hundred years now."

"A hundred or two hundred years, then you should be quite familiar with Myriad Dragons City?"

"I would say familiar."

"Then let me ask you, is there a place in Myriad Dragons City where one can hire strong individuals?"

"A place to hire strong individuals?"

Seeing the person in front of him, Ruan Chou was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood.

"Are you referring to the Netherworld Pavilion?"

"Netherworld Pavilion?"

Seeing the other party’s confusion, he patiently explained.

"The Netherworld Pavilion is a major force on the Eternal Ancient Continent, specializing in various assassination missions. Usually, cultivators go to the Netherworld Pavilion to post missions, then the pavilion’s powerhouses are dispatched to eliminate the targets."

"So it’s an assassin organization. Aside from assassination missions, does the Netherworld Pavilion also take on other tasks, like escorting powerhouses to other places?"

"Uh... theoretically, as long as the Divine Crystals are adequate, the Netherworld Pavilion will do anything; the only distinction is the quantity of Divine Crystals."

"Alright, is the Netherworld Pavilion located within Myriad Dragons City?"

"Yes."

"Leave all information about the Netherworld Pavilion in here."

A blank jade stone was thrown down.

Ruan Chou grasped the jade stone and transferred all the information about the Netherworld Pavilion into it.

"I’ve transmitted my entire understanding of the Netherworld Pavilion into here—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the jade stone in his hand snatched away by a powerful force, immediately followed by a storage ring being thrown onto the stall.

"This is your reward."

As he spoke, the other person turned and left.

Ruan Chou quickly grabbed the storage ring.

Though he didn’t know what was inside, just the storage ring itself was already quite valuable to him.

Stamping a mark.

Divine Sense dove inward.

After a while.

Ruan Chou’s Divine Sense retreated from the storage ring, a look of delight on his face.

"I’ve hit the jackpot!"

"This time, I’ve truly hit the jackpot!"

Divine Crystals!

As many as a hundred Divine Crystals!

For any Saint Cultivator, a hundred Divine Crystals is an unimaginably large sum.

Forget a hundred Divine Crystals.

Even a single Divine Crystal is incredibly precious in the eyes of a Saint Cultivator.

Divine Crystals—

They are items formed through the coagulated power of faith from Divine Realm powerhouses.

Although.

Faith isn’t solely the domain of the Divine Realm.

However.

The faith produced by Divine Realm coagulation surpasses the faith accessible to Saint Cultivators.

Especially for someone like Ruan Chou, a loose cultivator, face-to-face interaction with faith is nearly impossible.

With a hundred Divine Crystals.

If used correctly, he wouldn’t need to worry about resources before reaching the Divine Realm.

——

Leaving the stall, Shen Changqing went to a secluded place, altered his appearance again, retrieved the information Ruan Chou had placed in the jade stone, and proceeded toward the location of the Netherworld Pavilion.

After departing from Yunyan Pavilion.

He didn’t immediately leave Myriad Dragons City; instead, he changed his appearance and, with a fresh face, sought the information he desired.

Even though.

Yunyan Pavilion was a place for business, and even if he inquired there, it would generally not pose any problems.

But a guarded heart ensures protection.

Inquiring too much at Yunyan Pavilion might risk self-exposure.

For safety’s sake.

Shen Changqing only intended to sell some items at Yunyan Pavilion and refrained from asking much else.

Even if he returned to Yunyan Pavilion, he would never do so with his original appearance.
