*Long Tian Company*
Following the waiter's directions, Yu Tian managed to reach Long Tian Company, and as the waiter mentioned, he could easily recognize it since it stood out among the many luxurious places.
After confirming he was in the right place, Yu Tian didn't hesitate and entered the seven-story pagoda, where he was greeted by a lively hall filled with various desks, where people were purchasing all kinds of information.
"Welcome to Long Tian Company, dear guest," said a beautiful woman with a smile as she greeted Yu Tian. "How can I assist you today, dear customer?"
"I want to buy information," Yu Tian said as he glanced around, clearly not there for lunch, as Long Tian Company was a place for buying and selling information.
"I wonder what kind of information you need," asked the beautiful woman, as there were many categories of information to streamline their operations.
"Nothing specific, I want various kinds of information," Yu Tian replied, even though he wanted to know about his location, as well as information about High Heaven Pavilion and other things. Despite knowing a lot about this world, there was still much he was ignorant of.
"I see... In that case, allow me to take you to your room," said the beautiful woman. As a company dealing in information, they had many soundproof rooms and other security measures to maintain the confidentiality of the information bought and sold.
Yu Tian didn't say anything and followed the receptionist to a simple room with a basic table and only two chairs, one of which was already occupied.
"That person will answer your questions and provide you with as much information as possible. However, after requesting information about something, the person will set a price, and you must pay before receiving an answer," said the receptionist, bowing respectfully to Yu Tian before leaving.
"I see..." Yu Tian nodded and walked to the empty chair, placing a bag containing 10,000 gold coins on the table. "This bag contains 10,000 gold coins, so I want you to answer my questions, and if the money runs out, I'm willing to pay more."
"..." The other person, whose gender and appearance were unknown as they were hiding their body and face under a loose cloak, nodded.
"First, where is this place?" Yu Tian asked the most important question, as although he knew he was within the Great Han Dynasty, he didn't know the exact location. "And don't forget to explain everything about this place."
"We are in Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land," said the other person, who seemed to be a woman based on the soft voice. "Specifically, this is Fragrance City, which is ruled by the Beguiling Demon Queen, one of the Six Evil Kings."
The Six Evil Kings are Thunderbolt Beast King, Tyrannical Force King, Profound Yin Ghost King, Beguiling Demon Queen, Lightning Flash Shadow King, and Annihilating Poison King.
It even appears that all Six Evil Kings are in the Immortal Ascension stage. The cultivation stages in this world are as follows: Tempered Body, where the body is strengthened to withstand and absorb Yuan Qi; then comes Initial Element, allowing them to use combat techniques, though they are limited to the body as they can't yet release Yuan Qi from it; after Initial Element comes Qi Transformation, allowing them to release Yuan Qi from their bodies and use long-range techniques; and then the following realms: Separation And Reunion, True Element, Immortal Ascension, and Transcendent.
"I see... Now tell me about High Heaven Pavilion," Yu Tian said, placing more money down to ensure she wouldn't stop mid-discussion. "I want to know what's happening at High Heaven Pavilion, especially about the young talents, and if anything noteworthy has occurred recently."
"High Heaven Pavilion is a second-grade sect and has been somewhat famous since the former disciple of the 11th Sect Master, Ling Tai Xu, fell into the Devil Path. However, he was killed by the 11th Sect Master, Ling Tai Xu, so it didn't cause much of a stir. Now, the most talented person in High Heaven Pavilion should be Su Yan, a Core Disciple, and also the granddaughter of the 2nd Elder of High Heaven Pavilion: Su Xuan Wu," the seller explained everything she knew about High Heaven Pavilion and the recent events.
Although Long Tian Company is in Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, this is just one branch, as they have many branches all over the world, allowing them to obtain information from everywhere. Thus, even though Long Tian Company is in Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, they had access to information from all over the Great Han Dynasty.
Yu Tian listened to the seller in silence, but his mind was working well, as despite not knowing the exact timeline and not knowing when the plot would begin, learning about his location and information on how to get to High Heaven Pavilion and other details was sufficient. It seems that traveling between High Heaven Pavilion and Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land would only take 10 days at maximum speed.
But he wasn't in a hurry and requested Long Tian Company to obtain information about Yang Kai to see when he became a disciple of High Heaven Pavilion and other details, as he would be able to learn a lot just from knowing Yang Kai's current state.
After making his request and obtaining information about the best hotel in Fragrance City, Yu Tian left, as he felt a strange energy in the air, completely different from profound strength, which should be Yuan Qi. However, it didn't seem to repel profound strength; in fact, it seemed that Yuan Qi was attracting profound strength in his body, so he wanted to find out what was happening as soon as possible after obtaining the necessary information.
