"Was this mission issued by you?" the honest cultivator asked Xiao Lingyu.
"Yes," Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"I only know a clue, but I didn't get the item," the honest cultivator said in a low, muffled voice.
"A clue is fine, but you can only take a third of the reward," Xiao Lingyu replied indifferently.
"The Wang family's largest material store has the 'Lily of Creation'," the honest cultivator said.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and said, "I've been to almost all of the Wang family's material stores, but their shopkeepers all said that they didn't have the Lily of Creation."
The honest cultivator explained, "Back then, the Wang family had a prodigy, but because that prodigy cultivated too quickly and rashly, his Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul showed signs of collapsing. Back then, the Wang family spent a lot of effort to find a Lily of Creation, but before the Lily of Creation could be used as medicine, that prodigy had already passed away. That Lily of Creation shouldn't have been used yet. Of course, this is only a clue. As for whether the Wang family still has the Lily of Creation, I can't be sure. "
Thousands of years ago, the Wang family did have a prodigy. Because it wasn't that long ago, many cultivators in Kun City still remembered that prodigy and would often talk about him in casual conversations. Xiao Lingyu had heard of him before, but he hadn't heard about the Lily of Creation.
To ordinary cultivators, the Lily of Creation had the effect of nurturing and stabilizing the Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul. It was indeed helpful to that prodigy.
A third of the reward for the mission was a total of two hundred thousand mid-grade god stones. However, this amount of god stones wasn't much to Xiao Lingyu, so he gave it to the honest cultivator.
The honest cultivator didn't count the god stones in detail. He only thanked Xiao Lingyu and turned to leave.
This mission wasn't actually completed yet, so Xiao Lingyu entered the mission information into the stone tablet and left his soul imprint.
Regardless of whether the honest cultivator's information was true or false, Xiao Lingyu still had to go to the Wang Family's shop to take a look.
The Wang family was also one of the four major families in Kun City. The main business of the Wang family was in the material business, and they also collected the hunting profits of hunters. If the Kong family of the four major families in Kun City was the strongest in terms of martial power, then the Wang family was the strongest in terms of wealth.
While Xiao Lingyu went to the Wang Family's largest material store in Kun City, the honest cultivator went to Qi Ji Hongxuan Restaurant and went straight to the third floor to see Qi Hongxuan.
"How did it go?" Qi Hongxuan asked the honest-looking cultivator.
"I've already followed Third Young Master's instructions and passed the information to him," the honest cultivator replied respectfully.
"Did he believe you?" Qi Hongxuan asked again.
"I don't know, but he should have gone to the Wang Clan's shop right now," the honest cultivator replied.
"Find a few smart people to keep an eye on him. As long as he is in Kun City, I want to know his every move. Do you understand?" Qi Hongxuan said seriously.
"I understand," the honest cultivator replied.
The honest cultivator replied in a deep voice before asking, "Is there really a Creation Lily in the Wang Family's shop?"
"They should have it, but they definitely won't take it out easily. It would be best if he could start a conflict with the Wang Clan," Qi Hongxuan said with a smile.
Xiao Lingyu didn't start a conflict with the Wang Clan. He went to the Wang Clan's largest material store again and found an old shopkeeper. However, the shopkeeper told him that not only did this store not have the Lily of Fortune, but the other Wang Clan shops also didn't have it.
However, the shopkeeper's firm reply made Xiao Lingyu somewhat suspicious. However, he would not start a conflict with the Wang family because of his suspicions. After all, he was only one person. No matter what, he would not be so arrogant as to provoke the Wang family.
However, what made Xiao Lingyu feel strange was that although the Lily of Fortune was a treasure, it was only useful to cultivators below the Monarch God level. Its value wasn't very high. If the Wang Clan really had it, why didn't they sell it?
Of course, the Lily of Fortune was considered rare. Moreover, to cultivators below the Monarch God level, it was a life-saving medicine. He couldn't rule out the possibility that the Wang Clan kept the Lily of Fortune for emergencies. If one day, an important person in the Wang Clan needed the Lily of Fortune to save his life, they wouldn't have the same tragedy as that genius last time.
If the Wang Clan didn't admit it, Xiao Lingyu couldn't do anything. He could only patiently wait for other news. At the same time, he left Kun City again and continued to hunt in the primordial forest.
In the next ten years, Xiao Lingyu lived very peacefully. He gradually became rich and didn't encounter any accidents or setbacks.
However, in these ten years, there were always people who touched the soul imprint he left on the mission stone tablet and told him the same thing. The Wang Clan definitely had the Lily of Fortune.
If one person said that the Wang Clan had it, Xiao Lingyu might not be completely sure. However, if many people said that the Wang Clan had it, Xiao Lingyu wouldn't be suspicious anymore. After all, among the cultivators who said that the Wang Clan had the Lily of Fortune, one of them was from the Wang Clan. Moreover, he was the old shop assistant who often did business with Xiao Lingyu.
Even if he was sure that the Wang Clan had it, Xiao Lingyu couldn't do anything if the Wang Clan didn't want to sell it. Even if he went to the shopkeeper of the Wang Clan's largest shop and offered a sky-high price, the shopkeeper still insisted that the Wang Clan didn't have the Lily of Fortune.
Regarding this, Xiao Lingyu was angry but helpless.
It was definitely impossible to snatch it by force. Although the Wang Clan wasn't the strongest in martial arts, the Kong Clan, they definitely had many Heavenly God experts.
If he wanted to steal it, Xiao Lingyu had to first find out where the Lily of Fortune was hidden.
After so many years, there was only one piece of news about the Lily of Fortune. Xiao Lingyu really wanted to go to other cities to take a look.
However, the closest city to Kun City would take Xiao Lingyu more than 30 years to reach if he rushed at full speed. Moreover, he had to not encounter any accidents on the way.
Moreover, even if he went to other cities, he might not be able to find any clues about the Lily of Fortune.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was walking on a street in Kun City with a gloomy expression, he unexpectedly bumped into Qi Hongxuan.
Qi Hongxuan was still followed by two beautiful female experts. When he saw Xiao Lingyu, he seemed to be concerned and asked, "Brother Xiao, you don't look well. Did things not go well?"
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu's heart suddenly moved. If he joined the Qi Clan, would he be able to borrow the Qi Clan's power in Kun City to force the Wang Clan to hand over the Lily of Fortune?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Lingyu laughed bitterly at himself. The four great clans had been in Kun City for many years and had always gotten along very well. They didn't interfere with each other's business. Why would the Qi Clan pressure the Wang Clan for a small character like him?
"Haha, Brother Qi has good eyesight. Recently, things have not been going well for me. However, I think things will get better soon." Xiao Lingyu seemed to be optimistic as he smiled.
"Then I wish Brother Xiao good luck. Currently, Hongxuan still has other matters to attend to. I hope to drink and chat with Brother Xiao in the future. If Brother Xiao needs Hongxuan's help, Hongxuan will definitely do his best."
After Qi Hongxuan said a seemingly polite sentence, he left with the two maids.
Xiao Lingyu hesitated and decided to rely on himself. He couldn't easily ask others for help, so he walked towards the city gate.
"Third Young Master, since you want to win over this person, now is a good opportunity. Why did you let him go?" One of the female attendants asked in confusion.
"Haha, I'm just loosening the reins in order to grasp them better. He hasn't reached a dead end yet. If I ask him to join me now, he might not be sincere and might not be grateful to me. When he reaches a dead end, I'll help him. Only then can he be subdued by me. The reason I want the Lily of Fortune is most likely because there's a problem with my nascent soul. He won't be able to hold on for long. "Qi Hongxuan said with a smile.
The reason why Qi Hongxuan had such a judgment was because Xiao Lingyu said last time that if things didn't go well, he might be annihilated. In fact, even if Xiao Lingyu couldn't get the Lily of Fortune, he wouldn't be in any danger in a short time.
Qi Hongxuan also wanted to chat with Xiao Lingyu more. He even wanted to invite Xiao Lingyu to the restaurant for a few drinks, but he really had something to do now. His father, the patriarch of Kun City's Qi Family, just sent him a message to go back.
He returned to the Kun City's Qi Family's courtyard with the two female attendants and entered the room where his father usually cultivated.
To his surprise, there was a woman in his father's room at this time.
This woman only had the cultivation of the Great Soul Stage. She looked delicate and beautiful, but her eyes were bright, but she wasn't very beautiful.
"Her name is Yueru. She was brought to the city from the Linggu Valley. You should know about the Linggu Valley, right?" Kun City's Qi Family's patriarch, Qi Zhenghao, said to his third son, Qi Hongxuan.
"I know about the Linggu Valley." Qi Hongxuan said while guessing.
"This Yueru is a pharmacist and is the only talented villager in the Linggu Valley. If she is carefully trained, she can be of help to our Qi Family. The Linggu Valley is near the new mine. You are also in charge of the new mine. She will be in your care. "Qi Zhenghao said calmly.
"I understand." Qi Hongxuan replied.
"Well, go." Qi Zhenghao waved his hand.
Qi Hongxuan nodded and walked to the door with Yueru. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "Over the years, the two people who have been wanted by the Kong Family, are they from our Qi Family?"
Qi Zhenghao glanced at his third son and said, "Don't ask about things that you don't need to worry about."
Qi Hongxuan didn't say anything else and left with Yueru.
"Are you really from the Linggu Valley?" Qi Hongxuan asked the female pharmacist beside him as they walked.
"Yes." The female pharmacist replied calmly.
"Then do you know Xiao Lingyu?" Qi Hongxuan asked again.
The female pharmacist suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Qi Hongxuan also stopped and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to harm him. For now, we are still friends."
The female pharmacist's expression relaxed a little, but she didn't say anything.
Qi Hongxuan took another step forward and said, "Our Qi Family also has a few alchemists, but their aptitude is mediocre and they're not very useful. I hope that Alchemist Yue Ru's arrival can help our Qi Family refine more good medicine."
Yueru said calmly, "I hope she won't disappoint everyone."
