Chapter 24 The Old Man Who Sells Information

  It's really frustrating, originally he was doing well searching everywhere for the best materials and treasures, finally found one, but then out of nowhere came a Cheng Yaoguang, which made Jiang Xiaoyu very annoyed.

  This punch was thrown out, and the spiritual index soared, reaching a level of 12,000.

  Shen Di Fist appears!

  The young man was disrupted by Jiang Xiaoyu's loud shout, and it was too late to guard against it. Even in his heyday, he would have had no chance of winning under such a strong divine index!

  Bang!

  He was punched in the chest by Jiang Xiaoyu, and the young man's body flew out directly! He is also a cultivator of the Cloud Ascension Realm outside. I didn't expect that in this world, he would be defeated with one move! It's really frustrating to say!

  Young people may not have opened the 72 acupoints, but they also have 59, which is an extraordinary existence even in the outside world. Placed in some sects, it will definitely be treated as a treasure. But he happened to meet Jiang Xiaoyu, this strange fellow, with only 45 acupoints, can burst out with a divine index of 12,000...

  The young man lay on the ground, unable to move his body, with aching pain all over and even several bones fractured. He closed his eyes waiting for death, but after a while, he didn't hear any sound.

  He couldn't help but satisfy his curiosity, and he opened his eyes to search for Jiang Xiaoyu's figure, enduring the pain. However, what made him disappointed was that the other party had disappeared, along with that unknown medicinal herb.

  "I'm Tang Shengyang, doesn't he even have the qualification to let me kill him?"

  The young man's mouth curled up in a wry smile, and then he lay there, wholeheartedly starting to nurse his wounds. He hoped that before his injuries healed, he wouldn't run into the enemy, or else he would die too unjustly!

  Got a rare herb, Jiang Xiaoyu was in a great mood! The fragrance emitted by this herb was very enticing, although it couldn't compare to the spiritual energy of the Green Light Grass he had seen before, but it was still top-notch. Even in this small world, this herb could be considered top-tier.

  As for killing that person... Jiang Xiao Yu hadn't really thought about it, as long as he could beat the opponent to the point of being unable to move and not interfere with his own herb-picking, that was enough. After all, both sides didn't have any deep-seated grudges, and since growing up, he had never actually killed anyone.

  Throw the herbs into the system space, Jiang Xiaoyu continued to look for the next target. His own task was Shenkong fruit, but he encountered some spiritual objects and picked them up by hand, which didn't matter much. I believe many people's goals are Shenkong fruit!

  It can open up to thirty acupoints! And it's a heaven-defying divine fruit that doesn't distinguish between boundaries! Even if you're currently at the Cloud Ascension boundary, and only thirty acupoints have been opened, as long as you consume this fruit, you can reach sixty acupoints, and your boundary won't retreat!

  Of course, even if the divine fruit is against the sky, the 72 holes are already the limit, and no one can break this limit.

  After taking a Rejuvenating Pellet, Jiang Xiaoyu felt the spiritual energy within his body rapidly recovering. In less than half an incense stick's time, it had already recovered to its fullness. Calculating this way, using such pellets at the Initial Sensing Realm was indeed somewhat wasteful.

  Waste is waste, but one's own life is most important. As for Jiang Xiaoyu, he didn't have any feeling of heartache about it.

  After walking for about half a day, he had left the forest and arrived at a mountain range. The mountains stretched endlessly, with no end in sight, towering peaks and precipitous cliffs, like a fairyland.

  "If this were on Earth, it would definitely be a tourist destination!" Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim.

  It seems that many people have come to this mountain range, and when Jiang Xiaoyu went deeper, he could already see groups of people. Looking at their appearance, they were traveling in groups, which would make them safer.

  Seeing everyone gathering in this place, Jiang Xiaoyu was not in a hurry and directly found a quiet place to sit cross-legged. Although he wouldn't cultivate, he could pretend to do so. Anyway, everyone's goal was the Divine Acacia Fruit, once there was news, it would be easier for him to know first in a crowded situation.

  After a day, more and more people came to this place, even some monks began to trade here.

  "It's sold out! The news is out! About where the Divine Fruit has appeared!"

  For such news, there aren't many people who would believe it. On the first day of arrival, there's already news about a spiritual fruit? No need to think, it must be a scam.

  The person shouting was an old man with a white beard, his eyes narrowed into a slit, making it impossible to see his eyeballs. It was unexpected that at his age, he would also venture into the ancient ruins for adventure.

  Jiang Xiaoyu had already arrived at the old man's side, and asked with a puzzled face: "Is this news reliable?"

  The old man patted his chest and said: "You can rest assured, I have always been honest in doing business, a fixed price, 10,000 spirit stones!"

  She rolled her eyes, Jiang Xiao Yu didn't say anything and was about to turn around and leave. What a joke, 10,000 spirit stones? Even if she added up all her possessions, it would only be around that amount. She wouldn't even consider exchanging them for some unverified information, not even if you killed her.

  It's just been a day anyway, he's not in a hurry, let's take it easy.

  The old man saw the situation and hurriedly pulled Jiang Xiaoyu, then smiled and said: "Young man, don't be impatient when doing things. Otherwise, I'll give you a discount, take 8,000 spirit stones, how about that?"

  It's not easy to wait for someone who is willing to buy a message, and the old man won't let it go easily.

  "Grandpa, I only have 100 spirit stones on me..." Jiang Xiaoyu said helplessly. What he said was also the truth, there was indeed only that much cash left, although he still had a 10,000 spirit stone voucher, but it was impossible to use it to buy information.

  The old man was momentarily stunned, not expecting to encounter a poor ghost. However, he quickly recovered and said with a straight face: "It's fate that I met you here, let's do business. You're the first one to come to my door. I'll give you a discount, how about 100 spirit stones?"

  The mosquito is also a piece of meat, the old man can't help it.

  "But I still want to leave some behind...I can only give you fifty spirit stones..." Jiang Xiaoyu said helplessly.

  He now wonders if the news is accurate or not, he initially said one hundred spirit stones just to get rid of the other party, but didn't expect this old man to be so persistent and not even let go of a hundred spirit stones, what kind of poverty has he reached?

  And... why does the other person's tone sound so damn familiar? This seems to be what I use when I'm trying to deceive people!

  "Listen, young man, I'm telling you the truth! Back in the day, I traveled with Shi Huang and he told me this secret. The Hundred Spirit Stones are a good deal, you won't regret buying them!" The old man continued to tempt him.

  Why do they all like to brag about Shi Huang? Remember when you deceived the young master of the Xu family, didn't you say that you had also enlightened with Shi Huang together? Is Shi Huang really so easy-going that anyone can be associated with him? Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless.

  "Hey mister, am I handsome?" Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly asked.

  "Awesome!" The old man said without changing his expression and hesitating.

  Jiang Xiaoyu now looks like this, to be honest, has nothing to do with the word "handsome". Not to mention his whole body is dark and dirty, his face is also very unsightly. The old man said so, completely ignoring his conscience!

  "Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu seemed somewhat uncertain.

  "Really!" The old man said affirmatively.

  "Considering how handsome I am, can't you give me another discount? How about 50 spirit stones?" Jiang Xiaoyu said seriously.

  The old man almost spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to burst into a loud scolding. It turned out that after going around in such a big circle, he was still haggling with himself! Having lived for so many years, it was the first time he had been led by the nose!

  "Alright! Fifty spirit stones, pay first!" The old man said through gritted teeth.

  Slightly surprised, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't expect this old man to be so persistent. However, fifty spirit stones were neither here nor there for him; in exchange for a piece of information, whether true or false, it wasn't a bad deal.

  He didn't hesitate either and took out fifty pieces of spiritual stone to hand over to the old man.

  Received fifty spiritual stones, the old man finally let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect to meet someone so stingy. However, getting fifty spiritual stones for no reason at all wasn't a bad deal for himself either!

  The old man chuckled and said, "I absolutely won't deceive you. This divine fruit grows on the Longevity Tree, which is planted on White Cloud Peak. It blooms once every 50 years and bears fruit once every 50 years, but each time it only produces five fruits. Calculating the time, it's almost time for the fruit to ripen again."

  It seems this news is true? The old man's words were reasonable and had a basis, but Jiang Xiaoyu felt that there was something wrong with it.

  "Young man, I still have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. May we meet again if fate permits!" The old man chuckled and then departed.

  Half a day later, Jiang Xiaoyu was extremely angry and vowed to find that wicked old man and get his fifty spiritual stones back! The old man's message was indeed correct, the divine orifice was indeed on the Longevity Tree, and the Longevity Tree was indeed on White Cloud Peak...

  Baiyun Peak is where the indigenous people live, how can he climb to the top? I reckon as soon as he reaches the foot of the mountain, he'll be chased away by those indigenous people. Moreover, this news has already been known to many people, it's not a secret at all.

  It's just that I'm a rookie and completely unaware of the situation, which is why I got deceived.

  For Jiang Xiaoyu's situation, some people expressed great sympathy because they were also deceived by the old man. One of them was even more miserable, being cheated out of over a thousand spirit stones, and in comparison, Jiang Xiaoyu felt somewhat relieved.

  The ancient relic has been activated for four days, and on the fifth day, a strong wave of battle fluctuations spread out. It seems like thousands of horses are killing each other, this is not a battle between strong people, but someone's cultivation of the divine art has made some small achievements.

  Along with Jiang Xiao Yu, he also received a prompt: "Promoted person Sun Xiao Kong, cultivated the Divine Battle Saint Technique to small success, obtained some promotion points, and gained cultivation..."

  The orifices in his body crackled with a popping sound at this moment, which others could not perceive, only Jiang Xiaoyu alone could feel. The orifices broke through to forty-eight, seemingly much stronger than the previous forty-five.

  But before he could check, a deafening explosion shook the sky!

  "The descendant of Sun Wukong, Little Kong, has started a war with the indigenous people!"

  The voices of the crowd came from afar, instantly causing a huge commotion. The people in this place were like boiling pots, rushing towards the battlefield one after another.
