I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm
Chapter 559 - 311: Seventh-Tier Spirit Root
"No, after investigating for so long, we’ve found nothing and wasted a lot of manpower and resources. I’m afraid this Li’s Treasure Tower is doing this on purpose!" At this moment, Tian Yuqing couldn’t hold back, slammed the table, and stood up.
The rest of the Four Seasons Commerce Association did not dare to speak when they saw this situation, standing aside like quails.
Looking at this group of useless people, Tian Yuqing had a headache. He didn’t expect to have so many freeloaders under him who couldn’t even handle background investigations. If a conflict really occurred, they’d probably run faster than rabbits!
"Spend some money to find people to infiltrate Li’s Treasure Tower and investigate closely." Suppressing the anger in his heart, Tian Yuqing expressed his idea.
An elder at the side frowned slightly and couldn’t help but speak, "President, if we suddenly infiltrate and get caught, it could cause unnecessary trouble."
"Nonsense, I naturally know that, which is why I’m asking you to find people, not the members of the commerce association to go personally. Where there’s a big reward, there are brave men. Spend a little more money, and naturally, people will be willing to do it. I remember there’s a group that does anything for money, what’s it called?"
Tian Yuqing spoke up, and everyone was stunned, then began to ponder. The elder who reminded earlier suddenly had a name flash in his mind.
"President, are you talking about the Cyan Smoke Workshop? Those guys seem unreliable." The elder muttered softly.
The Cyan Smoke Workshop is a recently risen power, with a mixed bag of members from various sects. Simply put, they’ll do any dirty and tiring work for money, without the slightest bottom line, which many forces sneer at.
But some people who always handle shady matters like to contact the Cyan Smoke Workshop to do some covert things.
"Unreliable? They’re definitely more reliable than you all. Offer them fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, and get someone to contact them quickly. The people from the Cyan Smoke Workshop would probably be more than happy to serve for these Spirit Stones." Tian Yuqing waved his hand, and a few subordinates hurried away.
Meanwhile, in a building filled with charming beauties, a beautiful figure dressed in red had a look of intoxication on her tender face.
"These days, the island is bustling. The appearance of Li’s Treasure Tower has made many people envious with greed. It probably won’t be long before someone contacts us. Another avenue for making money." The woman murmured to herself, and she was none other than the person in charge of the Cyan Smoke Workshop, Hong Shuang!
Beside her on the bed lay another woman, looking at Hong Shuang with a flattering gaze, as if she were looking at her own man.
"Master, the Four Seasons Commerce Association sent someone to discuss cooperation. Should we meet them?" At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door, and Hong Shuang smiled sweetly upon hearing it.
"What did I say? Business is here, isn’t it? Stay put and wait for me." Hong Shuang smiled at the woman beside her.
She didn’t forget to pinch the woman’s delicate face, which made the latter blush, with a hint of playful blame in her eyes.
Then Hong Shuang got up and left the room, and shortly after, she met with those from the Four Seasons Commerce Association. At this moment, the people from the Four Seasons Commerce Association didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated their purpose.
Upon hearing the number of fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, Hong Shuang instantly lost her previous lazy demeanor and became extremely serious, as this was indeed a big job.
"Are you sure it’s just to explore Li’s Treasure Tower, and you’ll give fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones? Isn’t the Four Seasons Commerce Association making it a bit too easy to earn this money?" However, Hong Shuang wasn’t slow-witted and asked immediately.
The people from the Four Seasons Commerce Association then added a few more points, and Hong Shuang nodded in response, then accepted half of the down payment and let the other party leave.
"Do you really think this Cyan Smoke Workshop is reliable? Won’t they just take the Spirit Stones and run away?" One of the people from the Four Seasons Commerce Association mumbled incredulously as they left the Cyan Smoke Workshop.
No one beside them said anything, as these weren’t matters they should be worried about. They were just messengers, and it was better not to meddle in irrelevant affairs.
At this moment, Hong Shuang looked at the Storage Bag in her hand without saying much. With a wave of her hand, a large group of cultivators dressed in red battle outfits appeared in the hall.
"Li’s Treasure Tower, infiltrate and investigate, figure out their foundation. I don’t need to tell you what to do if you’re caught, right?" Hong Shuang said to the crowd.
Hearing this, the cultivators nodded, then disappeared in a flash, reappearing near Li’s Treasure Tower.
Looking at the closed Li’s Treasure Tower, a few of them exchanged glances, then quietly approached the door, taking out a Talisman Paper and placing it on the door.
After a faint crisp sound, the door slowly opened, and they cautiously stepped inside.
Meanwhile, Li Mu naturally sensed the oddity and slowly opened his eyes, scanning in the direction of the door.
"After all, someone still has their eyes on us. Those guys couldn’t find out my background and started sneaking in for investigation. Do they really think this is an inn?" Li Mu muttered to himself, and then with a wave of his hand, several puppets started moving.
"Strange, why does Li’s Treasure Tower, which stores so many treasures, not have any Array protections? Aren’t they afraid of being stolen?" The intruders couldn’t help but whisper as they saw the unguarded High-tier Spirit Qi in front of them, filled with confusion.
"Stop talking nonsense, have you forgotten what we’re here for? Chat at home if you want to." One of them directly interrupted the group’s thoughts and then began to search around.
