Villain: At the beginning, the protagonist's mother begs for forgiveness on her knees

The old man was very happy.

"This is easy to do!"

Shopkeeper Zhao agreed immediately after hearing this. It was not difficult for him to find a reliable local guide.

But he rolled his eyes and continued,

"Senior Qi actually doesn't need a guide if he wants to quickly understand this city. It's better to buy a copy of Huilong Island's century-old document in our store."

"It includes the century-old history of Huilong Island, the basic situation of the major forces on the island, and the major events that have occurred on the island in the past few decades. It will definitely satisfy Senior Qi!"

Shopkeeper Zhao said respectfully and waited for Qi Yunxian's decision.

His real name is Zhao Zhiping, and he is not a person without roots. He is one of the eighteen major purple palace forces in the Huilongcheng Alliance. Although he is only at the Qi Refining Stage, he has dealt with many predecessors at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He is very respectful to the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he will never be too afraid.

First, he is a disciple of the Zhao family, a branch of the purple palace family. He can enjoy the shade under the big tree. Even if he is only a disciple of the branch, he is definitely not someone that can be bullied by the outside foundation-building cultivators.

Second, there are thousands of outside foundation-building cultivators on Huilong Island, and he is no longer surprised. He will not be timid when dealing with these predecessors, and he can just maintain basic courtesy.

"Oh, a century-old document. I didn't expect your inn to do this business?"

Qi Yunxian was a little surprised and said slowly,

"Senior Qi, you don't know that there are more than a hundred inns in Huilong City. If we only rely on the accommodation business, how can we survive? Therefore, we can only do some small business by the way.

However, if Senior Qi is willing to spend the spirit stones, I also have a way to do some special business. Even female cultivators who are building foundations may be introduced to you. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on your means!"

Zhao Zhiping showed a smile that all men understand, and said to Qi Yunxian in a somewhat obscure way,

Qi Yunxian was speechless when he heard this. This kid surnamed Zhao is really wild. He is also involved in this kind of pimping business. However, Qi Yunxian is really not interested in those female cultivators who are available to anyone.

"That's not necessary. Tell me first, how much is this document worth?"

Qi Yunxian asked calmly,

"This century-old document is divided into two types. One is a simplified version that only needs 500 spirit stones, and the other is a detailed version that needs 4,000 spirit stones."

Seeing that Qi Yunxian was interested, Zhao Zhiping also hurriedly introduced,

Qi Yunxian showed a hint of displeasure when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows and said,

"What document is divided into two types for sale? Shopkeeper Zhao is not familiar with me and deliberately rips me off!"

"Senior Qi misunderstood. You get what you pay for. If you don't trust me, you can go to any store in Huilong City to ask about the price of the document. If there is a store with a price lower than mine, I am willing to compensate you with double the price of spirit stones."

Zhao Zhiping explained confidently,

Since he started this business, he has explained the price questions hundreds of times, so he naturally knows how to deal with them.

There were quite a few cultivators who were suspicious like Senior Qi, and he never tired of explaining every time.

Seeing that Qi Yunxian had not dispelled his doubts, he continued,

"If you don't believe me, I am willing to give you one-tenth of the two documents. After you compare them, you can decide which document to buy."

"Yes!"

Qi Yunxian nodded slightly in agreement.

Zhao Zhiping was delighted to see this and handed over two green jade slips.

After Qi Yunxian took it, he used his spiritual sense to check the contents. After a while, Qi Yunxian let go of the jade slips.

The price difference between the simplified version and the detailed version of the document is almost ten times, because the records of the two about intelligence are too different.

For example, the record of a certain medicine shop in Huilong City.

The simplified version only has the approximate location of the shop and a few simple records of the forces behind it.

The detailed version is different. It not only contains the detailed types of pills in this store, but also the price-asking habits of the pill shop owner, his personality preferences, and some recent pill transaction records of the store.

There is even the probability of the appearance of the foundation-building pill and the prediction of the next appearance of the foundation-building pill.

Although these are just some speculative answers, they are also of certain reference value.

Among them, what most moved Qi Yunxian was the small trade fair led by several Huilong Island alchemy masters marked in the literature.

There were many foundation-building pills and some cultivation pills in the trade fair, which was very important to Qi Yunxian.

It was very attractive to Yunxian.

"Four thousand spirit stones are a bit expensive!"

Qi Yunxian put down the jade slip and said,

"Senior Qi is a distinguished guest of this inn. If you really want it, I can make the decision and reduce the price by 500 spirit stones for you. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhiping was delighted and said quickly,

"It's expensive, 3,000 spirit stones!"

Qi Yunxian said as he made a move to leave.

Just when Qi Yunxian was about to step out of the door, Zhao Zhiping could no longer hold back,

"Senior Qi, please stay. 3,000 spirit stones is 3,000 spirit stones! Just as a thank you for taking care of the inn."

Zhao Zhiping said happily,

This business of buying and selling documents is actually not the business of the inn. It is just some small business he does privately. And the documents in Longcheng this time are not rare things.

Except for some seniors who came for the first time, few people would buy it, especially such detailed documents. So far, he has only sold a few copies.

He hasn't met a rich customer like Qi Yunxian for several years, so how could he let him go?

Even if he gave him a 70% or 80% discount, he would still make a profit.

After the two of them made the deal, Qi Yunxian picked up a purple jade slip and left alone.

Walking alone on the road paved with white slabs, Qi Yunxian looked at both sides of the street from time to time.

He had read the entire Huilong Island document, so naturally he didn't need to hire a local guide.

According to the document, the entire Huilong City is about 220 miles in radius, and Yunhe City is about twice the size of Huilong City because of the large number of mortals living there.

Although the entire Huilong Island is a loose alliance, the only two companies that really hold power are Yunhe Chamber of Commerce and Yaowang Sect.

Yunhe Chamber of Commerce and Yaowang Sect.

The strength of both sides is comparable. The Yunhe Chamber of Commerce is slightly stronger, but the Yaowang Sect has one more guest elder of the fake elixir cultivator.

The Yunhe Chamber of Commerce has one fake elixir cultivator and seven purple mansion cultivators, while the Yaowang Sect has two fake elixir cultivators and five purple mansion cultivators.

The sect under the two sects is a spiritual plant sect called Baicao Sect, which has four purple mansion cultivators.

This sect is famous for its planting skills in the Huilong Island waters. It is also the main spiritual medicine supplier of the Yunhe Chamber of Commerce and the Yaowang Sect. Nearly 40% of the alchemy spiritual medicines of the two sects are provided by it.

It also has a considerable voice on Huilong Island.

In addition, there are five purple mansion cultivators on Huilong Island who have not settled in Huilong City.

In this way, there are really many purple mansion cultivators in the entire Huilong Island, nearly more than 50. No wonder this place is so prosperous.

This strength is not much inferior to the Jindan forces such as the Jinlin Wang family.

Of course, this is to exclude the existence of the Jindan stage. The Jindan stage has a lifespan of a thousand years and its strength is far beyond the Zifu stage. If there is no formation to restrain, one person can easily defeat ten Zifu stage Great Perfection beings.

However, it is not necessarily possible to take Huilong Island with only the Jindan early stage, after all, there are three fake Dan cultivators on the island, as well as Wang Yun, a half-step Jindan.
