Lu Yin was puzzled. "Spirit Screen?"
"This is it." Si Jiushi retrieved it from his cosmic ring.
Lu Yin took a look and saw that it was indeed Spiritual Thread. Back in the Tian Yuan Universe, Spiritual Thread boxes were also used to seal sourceboxes, and it was the same in the Ninefirmaments Universe.
No wonder the Spirit Treasures Chamber of Commerce was able to obtain such information.
What was the most valuable thing in the Western Regions?
The first thing many people thought of was the Spirit Treasure Formation of the Cangtian Descendants. Below it were the Spirit Treasures.
Spirit Treasure Array Formations required Spirit Treasures, Lockbreaking required Spirit Treasures, and Spirit Treasures were the foundation of everything.
That was why the Numinous Treasure was sent to the Western Regions. The Spiritual Silk Thread that came with the Numinous Treasure naturally became the most valuable commodity in the Western Regions. It accompanied the Numinous Treasure Chamber of Commerce's many pairs of eyes to every corner of the Western Regions. Naturally, they had the most information.
"Can this person help me find Duke?" Lu Yin asked, referring to the dispatcher.
Si Jiushi hesitated for a moment. "If even he can't do it, then I don't know how to find someone else."
Lu Yin stood up, "Then let's go find him. Do you know where he is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be in Spirit Treasure City, the headquarters of Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce."
The two of them left the city and headed towards Spirit Treasure City.
At the same time, in the Western Regions, in a luxurious courtyard, Ling Qi was sweating profusely. He put down the Huai Si. Behind him, a pair of eyes were staring at him.
"Is, is that okay?"
"Continue."
"Alright, as long as you don't hurt me, I can give you what you want. By the way, do you need manpower?
I want to join too. "
"Shut up."
Several days later, in a city that floated above the yellow sands, a fat old man died. The spirit seed in his body vanished. The fat old man had a cultivation at the level of Sequence Laws. In the entire world of cultivation, he could be considered an expert. He had thousands of disciples under him, but none of them knew how he had died.
Meanwhile, in another city far away, there were also people who died.
Beneath the yellow sand, blood spread out. Within the city, the ground was covered in scarlet red.
These people all had one thing in common before they died, and that was Jieyu.
They had all been preparing to unlock the sourcebox, and none of them should have been disturbed. Instead, they had all died tragically.
The Spirit Treasure City was the largest city in the Western Region, second only to the Hidden Heaven City. Even if the yellow sand filled the sky and covered the stars, it was still unable to cover this colossal city.
Lu Yin and Si Jiushi had been in Spirit Treasure City for two days, but they still hadn't found any Ling Feed.
Lu Yin immediately covered the entire Spirit Treasure City with his consciousness, causing the experts of the Spirit Treasure Merchant Guild to become restless. They tried to find Lu Yin several times but failed, so they could only swallow their anger.
The attitude of the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce determined the attitude of the entire Spirit Treasure City.
During the two days that Lu Yin was in Spirit Treasure City, the city was much quieter than before. The Spirit Treasure Merchant Guild was doing business fairly, which was amazing.
"Strange, no one in the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce knows where Ling Fu went."
Si Jiushi's expression turned ugly. If he couldn't find the spiritual gift, then he wouldn't be able to claim his title. He also couldn't see any hope of leaving Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked outside and saw that Spirit Treasure City was still very lively. If one didn't look outside the city, they wouldn't even know that this was the Western Region.
There was a lot of vegetation in the city. There were small bridges and flowing water, just like in the Eastern Region.
"Other than Ling Fu, there should be other people in Lingbao Chamber of Commerce who can sell information."
"No. Ling Fu is the person with the highest position in the Spirit Treasure Merchant Guild when it comes to selling information. The people above him don't need to touch information because the loss outweighs the gain. If they are found to have leaked information, then the Spirit Treasure Merchant Guild's reputation will be tarnished. Thus, Ling Fu is a chess piece that can be discarded even if he is discovered. With his authority, he can still gather information."
"My Great Five Sect Leaders also paid a huge price to find Ling Fu. In fact, if it isn't someone from a major power, then no one else can come into contact with Ling Fu. In the entire Western Region, there aren't many people who know that Ling Fu sells information."
Lu Yin looked at Si Jiushi, "The three great clans of Hidden Sky City should know, right?"
Si Jiushi nodded, "Some of them definitely know, but they also want to know about the other two clans through Ling Fu. Thus, they have a tacit understanding. As long as they guard against Ling Fu and warn him not to leak too important information, no one will find trouble with him."
"To put it bluntly, everyone wants to benefit from Ling Fu, which is why Ling Fu lives a very comfortable life."
Lu Yin continued, "That includes your Great Five Sect Leaders and Ling Alliance."
Si Jiushi did not refute Lu Yin's words. Actually, anyone who could establish a power in the Ninth Firmament Universe would have their own shady methods. It was just that everyone's bottom line was different. The Great Five Sect Leaders would be fine as long as they did not use information to harm others.
Si Jiushi looked at Lu Yin and cautiously asked, "Senior, Ling Fu is not here. How about we look for his subordinates who also sell information?"
Lu Yin glanced at him and then swept his gaze across Spirit Treasure City. He slowly said, "Come over."
Si Jiushi was stunned and looked around. Who was he talking to?
A moment later, a woman appeared not too far away and walked towards them. Her steps were slow, and her gaze fell on Lu Yin. There was a deep sense of fear and unease in her eyes.
The woman's face was delicate, and her blue eyes were as clear as water. Her fair skin had a slight tinge of red, and she was extremely alluring.
When Si Jiushi saw her, he exclaimed, "Senior Ling Lan?"
The woman walked up to Lu Yin and slowly bowed, "Ling Lan of the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce greets Mister Lu."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back and sized her up. "You've been looking for me."
Ling Lan respectfully replied, "Since Senior has arrived in Spirit Treasure City, the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce should naturally receive you. If we have offended Senior in any way, please forgive us."
"It's nothing. Where is Ling Fu?" Lu Yin asked directly.
Behind him, Si Jiushi was envious. This was the treatment of an absolute powerhouse, and it was too comfortable. This was Ling Lan, the second-in-command of the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce. She was a powerhouse who had survived Bitter Adversity and was overseen by everyone in Spirit Treasure City. She was an absolute beauty, and she was extremely powerful. She was known as the richest woman in the Western Regions.
Few people could meet such an important person.
Even if the three great clans of Hidden Sky City had come, Ling Lan would not have been so respectful.
But now?
Her attitude could not have been any more respectful. He maliciously guessed that if Mister Lu wanted Ling Lan to sleep with him, she would be willing.
How many people dreamed of such a thing?
Ling Lan was puzzled. "Mister, are you looking for Ling Fu?"
Lu Yin looked at her calmly. This girl's blue eyes were very beautiful, and there was a kind of soul-stirring feeling to them. She was not deliberately seductive, but it was easy to lose yourself in them. She reminded him of Madam Nalan, who was also beautiful to the bone.
This kind of beauty was not something that a little girl like Lu Siyu could compare to.
Lu Siyu, Ming Xiaolong, and Qiunan Hongye were all beautiful, but they lacked the charm of age.
"Ling Fu left Spirit Treasure City half a year ago and went to Senluo City to dispatch. If Mister needs it, I can transfer him back," Ling Lan said.
Lu Yin looked at her. "You know why I'm looking for Ling Fu, right?"
Ling Lan smiled. "I know. Logically speaking, we can do what Ling Fu can do, but we need time. If Mister is willing to wait, we can help you even without Ling Fu."
"You're willing to help me?"
"Of course."
"The person you've offended has a great background."
"If we can help Mister, the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay any price."
Lu Yin was curious. "Why?
I come from the Tianyuan Universe and don't belong to the Continent of the Nine Clouds. "
Ling Lan blinked. "I have a hundred reasons for Mister to accept our sincerity, but there is only one reason for Mister to trust us."
After a pause, she slowly said in a low voice, "There aren't many Spiritual Veils left."
Si Jiushi's eyes widened. "What? There aren't many Spiritual Veils left?"
Lu Yin understood. Spiritual Thread was the foundation of the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce. Without it, how could the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce establish itself in the Western Regions?
As for the Spiritual Silk Threads, the place that left the deepest impression on him was the Tianyuan Universe's fifth continent, the Lockbreaker Great World. The Spiritual Silk Threads there could be said to be an endless amount. Back then, it had even shocked him, so he had never paid attention to this resource.
"Haven't you been buying back Spiritual Veils?" Si Jiushi was puzzled.
Ling Lan smiled bitterly, "Anyone who buys the Spiritual Screen from the Spirit Treasures Chamber of Commerce will be bought back at 80% of the price in the end, to ensure the turnover of the Spiritual Screen, and to keep the Spiritual Screen firmly in our hands. Actually, the Spiritual Screen brings almost no profit to the Spirit Treasures Chamber of Commerce, and it is even a loss. But with this, the Spirit Treasures Chamber of Commerce can make up for this by selling other resources.
"Spiritual Veils have always been a way for the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce to increase customers.
However, Spiritual Veils are also consumed. After countless years, the number of Spiritual Veils we have now is ninety percent less than when we were first established. "
Si Jiushi sighed. Ninety percent? No wonder.
No matter what methods the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce used, even if they took away all of the Nine Firmaments Universe's Spiritual Veils, they would eventually run out.
"The Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce sent people to join the Nine Firmaments Universe to search for Spiritual Veils from other universes, but our luck was so bad that we couldn't find any. We could only keep searching. In fact, there are many Spiritual Veils in spiritualized universes.
"However, Yu Sang Tian defeated Ru Shi, so there are too few people from the Nine Firmaments Universe who can go to spiritualized universes. The Luo family from the Tianmen Universe also has to pay a price. If this continues, the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce might not be able to hold on."
Lu Yin understood. "You want to use my connections to enter the spiritualized universes, or even the Tianyuan Universe."
Ling Lan bowed deeply. "I'm asking for your help. Of course, if you are unwilling, the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce will still help you with all our might. I can guarantee that the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce will not be dissatisfied with the three universes. We are merchants."
Ling Lan had seen Lu Yin break through to the Primordial Realm. She was certain that as long as Lu Yin was willing, he would be able to help them.
The others from the Nine Firmaments Universe looked down on the three universes, but merchants were different. They had too many resources.
Although Lu Yin came from the Tianyuan Universe, with his strength, he should have dominated spiritualized universes long ago. Even Yu Sang Tian might not be able to stop him, especially when he had released Luo Ning when the Eastern Region's Spring and Autumn Scroll had been destroyed. Luo Nanshan of the Luo family was deeply grateful to him, which was why Ling Lan had asked for Lu Yin's help.
The Luo family from the Tianmen Universe guarded the Tianmen Universe, and they had the right to decide who could enter and leave.
Unless you found God's Defense and gave the order, the Luo family could not let you leave.
The Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce could not find God's Defense to help them, so they could only pay the price of resources to the Luo family. However, the Luo family's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce grew weaker and weaker. There would come a day when they could not satisfy the Luo family.
Lu Yin's appearance had allowed Ling Lan to think of a way out. As long as he said the word, the entire Luo family would have to give him face.
