He could not go back to the Douwan Continent. Even though the three supremacy-level experts were most likely not on the Douwan Continent, many Immortal Emperors would definitely go there to check.
Xiao Lingyu needed to find another famous continent like the Douwan Continent because the ordinary mercenaries on the Immortal World continents would not accept his mission.
He could only continue to teleport. Fortunately, the Immortal World was relatively peaceful, and the immortals were relatively kinder. Xiao Lingyu did not encounter any trouble along the way.
It took nearly a hundred years for Xiao Lingyu to arrive at another Immortal World continent that was comparable to the Douwan Continent.
This continent was called the East Imperial Continent. It was said that in ancient times, there was an expert known as the East Imperial Continent who cultivated on this continent. Now, that expert was no longer on this continent.
"East Imperial Continent? Could it be the East Imperial Continent's Taiyi? "
With this question in mind, Xiao Lingyu walked into the East Imperial Continent and spent half a day walking to the center of the city.
In the center of the city, in front of the plaza in front of the City Lord Residence, there was a giant statue that was hundreds of thousands of feet tall and thousands of feet wide.
This statue had the head of a human but the body of a bird. There was also a big bell in front of it.
"Human head, bird body, big bell … it is indeed the East Imperial Continent's Taiyi, an expert from Earth."
Xiao Lingyu stared at this statue and looked at it carefully for a long time. He was somewhat excited.
Since he started cultivating, he had heard many stories about the experts from Earth. This was the first time he had come into contact with the experts from Earth, even though it was just a statue.
Beside this statue, there were countless immortals looking at it. Everyone had a respectful expression, full of respect for the ancient experts.
Xiao Lingyu's understanding of Earth's ancient powerhouses was limited to some books and novels on Earth. Those records might not be true, and they were very simple. He hoped that he would have the opportunity to meet with Earth's ancient powerhouses and listen to what they had to say.
After looking at the statue for a while, Xiao Lingyu walked into the mercenary division building opposite the City Lord Residence.
What made Xiao Lingyu a little depressed was that the East Imperial Continent's mercenary branch didn't have any sand crystal collecting missions. He had no choice but to leave the branch building and find a large-scale material store on the other side of the plaza.
In order not to attract attention, Xiao Lingyu first sold 50 sand crystals and then went to look for the next shop.
The reward of collecting Sand Crystals in the material store was slightly lower than the reward of the mercenary mission. It was about 18,000 Immortal Crystals per piece. Xiao Lingyu went to six stores and got more than five million Immortal Crystals.
However, what Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that when he arrived at the second floor of the Mercenary Division, he also met an old man in a side room. However, this old man asked him for eight million immortal crystals before he was willing to help him issue this mission.
Xiao Lingyu knew that there was no point in reasoning with them, so she could only go to the material store to sell sand crystals again.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu had a lot of sand crystals, and he didn't use many of them when he was cultivating. Otherwise, if the mercenary suddenly increased the reward, he would have to think about how to collect more immortal crystals.
After preparing eight million immortal crystals, he went to the side room on the second floor of the Mercenary Division again. The old man accepted the immortal crystals with a smile and then gave Xiao Lingyu a jade token.
"With this jade token, you can check whether the mission has been completed in any of the Immortal World's continents where the Mercenary Division is located. As your mission involves too many areas, we can't determine your location at all times. Therefore, we can't notify you after the mission is completed. We can only rely on you to go to the Mercenary Division at any time to check." The old man didn't forget to remind him.
"How long will it take for you to issue this mission to all the continents in the Immortal World?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"Haha, it won't take long. Within ten thousand years, this mission will be issued to all the places where the Mercenary Division is located," the old man said with a smile.
"Ten thousand years?" Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. He was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Your mission will be issued in the East Imperial Continent. We have to hand it over to the headquarters first. Then, the headquarters will use various channels to spread it throughout the Immortal World as soon as possible. However, the Immortal World is vast and boundless. There are countless continents. Even our Mercenary Division can't spread a message throughout the Immortal World in a few years or decades," the old man explained calmly.
Xiao Lingyu nodded in understanding. Then, he kept the jade token and left the Mercenary Division.
In fact, Xiao Lingyu knew in his heart that ten thousand years was not a long time for the cultivators in the Immortal World. In fact, it was a relatively short period of time. It was indeed commendable to distribute this mission to the Immortal World within ten thousand years.
If they were lucky, someone might have already found Anya and completed the mission before the mission was completely distributed throughout the Immortal World. If they were unlucky, even if the Mercenary Division distributed the mission in an instant, no one would be able to find Anya for ten thousand years or even tens of thousands of years.
The Mercenary Division had already begun to distribute the mission. Xiao Lingyu had to contact the people from the Inquiry Organization and ask them to also search for Anya in the Immortal World. Only by doing this would they be able to find Anya in the shortest time possible. Only then could he be at ease.
However, although the Inquiry Organization was quite powerful and spread throughout the Immortal World, they did not have a shop front or a signboard. It was a little difficult to find them.
What was certain was that there must be people from the Inquiry Organization on the East Imperial Continent. It could even be said that there were people from the Inquiry Organization in the East Imperial City. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu did not need to go to other continents. He wandered around the East Imperial City every day for a period of time. It was not until two months later that he heard in a restaurant that it was actually very simple to find people from the Inquiry Organization. All he needed to do was to set up a sign in a crowded place with the words "Help" written on it, and people from the Inquiry Organization would take the initiative to come to him.
Although Xiao Lingyu was skeptical about this, he still did as he was told. He set up a wooden sign in the square in front of the City Lord Mansion.
To his surprise, it was only half a day later, and someone really came to him.
A cultivator who looked a little thin sent a voice transmission to Xiao Lingyu and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the other party and found that he was just a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven (equivalent to a True Devil), but his expression was calm and he seemed to think highly of himself. He seemed to have a strong background. Xiao Lingyu replied, "I'm looking for a person in the entire Immortal Realm."
When the thin cultivator heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "This price is very high."
"No matter how high it is, there should be a price, right?" Xiao Lingyu replied.
"I can't make this decision. I have to ask first," the thin cultivator said.
"I'll wait here, but don't make me wait too long," Xiao Lingyu replied indifferently.
Indeed, the thin cultivator didn't make Xiao Lingyu wait too long. He left for less than an hour, then turned back and said, "You need at least five million immortal crystals."
Xiao Lingyu pretended to ponder for a while, as if he was very hesitant. Then, as if he had made a big decision, he said, "Five million it is. As long as you can find the person, the immortal crystals won't be a problem."
The thin cultivator nodded and said, "You have to pay two million immortal crystals as a deposit first. You can pay us the remaining three million after you find the person."
Xiao Lingyu touched his chin and replied, "No problem."
"Then come with me." The thin cultivator waved his hand and turned to lead the way.
"Wait first. How can I be sure who you are and whether or not you have the ability to complete the task? I don't have much time to waste, "Xiao Lingyu said very cautiously.
"I'm a person who knows how to gather information. If you believe me, then come. If you don't, then leave." The thin cultivator said very firmly. After saying this, he turned and left.
Xiao Lingyu thought about it for a while, but still followed the thin cultivator and left the square.
They didn't leave the city. The thin cultivator brought Xiao Lingyu to an ordinary-looking shop, and then the two of them entered the shop together.
This was a small material shop. The shop only had two floors, and the hall on the first floor was less than thirty square meters.
At this time, there were no customers in the shop. There was only an old man who seemed to be the shopkeeper. He was lying on the counter as if he was sleeping. When he heard movement in the shop, he slowly raised his head and glanced. When he saw the thin cultivator, he actually lay on the counter again.
The thin cultivator shook his head and smiled. Then, he said to Xiao Lingyu, "Let's go upstairs."
After all, this was the East Imperial Kingdom. Xiao Lingyu felt that if this guy was deceiving him and wanted to harm him in this shop, it wouldn't be easy to make him stay. Even if there were experts in the shop, he could hide in his Spiritual Abode and escape. Therefore, he followed without hesitation.
There was only one room on the second floor. At this time, there was only a young-looking cultivator sitting on a wooden chair.
This young cultivator should have known that there would be customers, so he didn't have the slightest reaction to Xiao Lingyu's arrival. Instead, he stood up with a smile and pointed to a chair. "Please sit."
"Thank you."
Xiao Lingyu sat down calmly. "I think you'd better prove your identity. Otherwise, I won't give you millions of immortal crystals."
The young cultivator first waved the thin cultivator away. Then, he said, "Of course."
Then, the young cultivator put a palm-sized gold medal on the table and motioned for Xiao Lingyu to check.
Xiao Lingyu didn't stand on ceremony. He took the gold medal in his hand. It felt a little heavy. He knew that the quality of this gold medal wasn't low. After taking a closer look, he was sure that this gold medal must be made of top-grade materials. Just this gold medal alone was comparable to a top-grade immortal artifact.
The front of the gold medal was engraved with the words "Inquirer". On the back, there was a woman with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human. Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but exclaim, "Nuwa?"
When the young cultivator heard Xiao Lingyu's voice, his smiling face immediately sank. He asked, "Do you know the senior engraved on the medal?"
