“Oh? What do you mean by that?” Celestial King Wu raised a slight eyebrow, his interest piqued by Chen Tiangang’s words.

He had originally just wanted to watch Chen Tiangang make a fool of himself, but it now seemed there was more to this than he knew.

“That person’s name is Fang Yue! Surely you haven’t forgotten that name!”

“Fang Yue?” Upon hearing the name, Celestial King Wu’s brow twitched, and a look of profound hatred surfaced on his face.

Fang Yue was the man who had murdered his son!

Although he had over a dozen sons, the one Fang Yue killed was among the most talented of the younger generation, one who had the potential to inherit his mantle.

But he had been killed by Fang Yue!

This was a grudge he had seared into his memory, never once forgetting.

“That’s right, it’s him!” Chen Tiangang said through gritted teeth.

“He’s not just my enemy; he’s the one who killed your son. We should join forces, kill him together, and vent the hatred in our hearts!”

Celestial King Wu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart.

He knew Chen Tiangang was right. Fang Yue was their common enemy.

“Fine. I agree.”

Celestial King Wu said slowly, “However, we must plan this carefully to ensure it’s flawless.”

Chen Tiangang was overjoyed at his words and nodded in quick agreement.

He knew that with Celestial King Wu on board, their chances of killing Fang Yue would increase dramatically.

The two began to discuss their plan of action in detail. They needed to force Fang Yue into a deathtrap, then kill him in one fell swoop.

Indeed, while Chen Tiangang and Celestial King Wu were both powerful, Fang Yue’s ability to fight Chen Tiangang to a standstill showed that he, too, possessed considerable strength.

If Fang Yue was determined to flee, it would be no easy task for the two of them to kill him.

Therefore, they needed to plan meticulously, ensuring they could force Fang Yue into a desperate situation before they could successfully kill him.

Meanwhile, Fang Yue was rushing through a mountain forest.

After several battles with Chen Tiangang, Fang Yue’s Dark Radiant Vajra Body was on the verge of a breakthrough.

However, to advance, he was still missing something.

To advance the Dark Radiant Vajra Body, he needed a specific major medicine.

This ingredient was called “Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng,” an extremely rare Spirit Medicine.

‘I’ll go to the nearest major city first to gather some information, then search for the medicinal herb.’ Fang Yue made up his mind instantly.

* * *

Fang Yue’s figure was like the wind. He swiftly crossed the mountain forest and arrived at a large, nearby city.

The city was bustling and prosperous, with crowds like a flowing river and a dazzling array of shops. It was clearly a place where information flowed freely.

In that prosperous city, Fang Yue’s figure moved like the wind through the streets, finally stopping before the main gate of the Hundred Knows Pavilion.

The Hundred Knows Pavilion was known as the most well-informed place in the Great Wei Dynasty, its reputation long having spread throughout the entire Jianghu.

As Fang Yue stepped through the gate, a graceful and charming woman immediately came forward to greet him. Her smile was like a spring breeze, her voice as sweet as silk:

“Sir, it seems this is your first visit to our Hundred Knows Pavilion, is it not?”

Her gaze swept over Fang Yue, as if trying to see through to his intentions.

Fang Yue nodded, his expression calm.

“This is indeed my first visit. I heard of your pavilion’s reputation for being well-informed and have come to make an inquiry.”

His tone was calm and firm, revealing an air of unquestionable confidence.

Upon hearing this, the light in the woman’s eyes grew sharper.

She knew that those who came to the Hundred Knows Pavilion were no ordinary people.

She gave a light smile and said, “You flatter me, Sir. We at the Hundred Knows Pavilion dare not boast about much, but when it comes to information, we are indeed quite confident. What news might you be seeking?”

Fang Yue wasted no words and stated his purpose directly:

“I wish to purchase a Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng. Does your pavilion have any information on this?” His gaze was fixed on the woman as he awaited her answer.

The woman was slightly taken aback.

Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng was an exceedingly rare Spirit Medicine; most ordinary people had never even heard of it.

She gave Fang Yue a deep look, secretly speculating about his identity and purpose.

On the surface, however, she showed no sign of this, and immediately smiled. “You’ve come at a very opportune time, Sir. Our pavilion has just received a piece of news regarding a Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng. However, the price for this information is not low!”

Hearing this, Fang Yue was instantly overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected his luck to be this good—to get news of the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng as soon as he arrived at the Hundred Knows Pavilion.

“The price is not an issue. As long as the information is true, I will reward you handsomely.”

Fang Yue said faintly, his tone suffused with an undeniable confidence.

A strange glint flashed in the woman’s eyes.

She could sense that the young man before her was no ordinary person.

But she didn’t ask further. After all, who among the patrons of the Hundred Knows Pavilion didn’t have a few secrets?

“In that case, I’ll be direct. Someone recently discovered traces of a Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng in a treacherous location. However, the place is fraught with danger. Even a Martial Dao master might not be able to emerge unscathed,”

the woman said slowly, her tone carrying a hint of gravity.

Fang Yue’s brow twitched slightly at her words.

He naturally knew that a treacherous location would be filled with hidden dangers, but to increase his strength, he had to take the risk.

“May I ask who the master who discovered the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng is? Could you arrange an introduction?” Fang Yue asked, cupping his fist.

“That… might be difficult. That master is a recluse and doesn’t like dealing with people. Our pavilion went to great lengths just to get this information from him,” the woman said, sounding troubled.

Hearing this, Fang Yue considered it internally.

‘I can’t force it,’ he thought. ‘I’ll have to find another way.’

“How much silver?” Fang Yue asked.

The woman smiled faintly and held up one finger. “This information will cost at least this much.”

Fang Yue glanced at her outstretched finger, his heart stirring slightly as he asked tentatively, “Ten thousand taels of silver?”

“Ten thousand taels of gold!”

The woman gently shook her head and corrected him with a smile.

The finger she held up represented ten thousand taels of Gold, not silver.

Fang Yue was slightly stunned. The price far exceeded his expectations.

Ten thousand taels of Gold was an astronomical sum for an ordinary person, enough to buy several mansions in a Prefecture City and live without worry for generations.

However, for Fang Yue, who desperately needed the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng, the price was not unacceptable, despite being steep.

After all, the rarity and value of the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng were far beyond what money could measure.

He took a deep breath and nodded. “Alright. Ten thousand taels of Gold. I’ll buy it.”

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in the woman’s eyes.

She hadn’t expected Fang Yue to agree so readily without even trying to haggle.

She gave Fang Yue another deep look, secretly speculating about his identity and background.

‘Someone who can take out ten thousand taels of Gold to buy information so easily is no ordinary person.’

However, she didn’t ask anything further; it was the customer’s private matter, after all.

She smiled and nodded. “Very well. Please wait a moment, Sir. I will go and prepare the information for you.”

With that, she turned and walked into the inner part of the Hundred Knows Pavilion, returning a moment later with a slip of paper.

“Here is the detailed information and a map regarding the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng. Please take it, Sir,” the woman said, handing the slip of paper to Fang Yue.

Fang Yue took the paper and his eyes swept over it quickly.

The paper detailed the location of the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng, the necessary precautions for obtaining it, and even included a rough map.

The thoroughness of the intelligence was beyond his expectations.

He nodded in satisfaction, carefully put the paper away, turned, and walked out of the Hundred Knows Pavilion’s main gate, disappearing into the vast sea of people.

The woman watched Fang Yue’s departing figure, a sharp glint in her eyes.

‘This man is no simple character! To be able to spend ten thousand taels of Gold on information without even batting an eye… It seems he must have some unknown secrets.’

She secretly mused on Fang Yue’s identity and purpose, her curiosity piqued by his strength and background.

However, she also knew that some things were not for her to inquire about.

She shook her head, cast these thoughts aside, and turned back into the Hundred Knows Pavilion.

As for Fang Yue, he had already left the great city and was heading toward the location of the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng.
