The Green-crescent Peak was at the northwest of the Heaven Clouds Peak, only dozens of miles away from the Demon Subduing Tower.
Lu Li and Uncle Li could live in separate castles. However, the castle was too big and Uncle Li was badly injured. Lu Li decided to bring Uncle Li back to his own castle.
Uncle Li was recovering and cultivating in the castle. Lu Li planned to go out and gather information after Uncle Li was healed.
Uncle Li was not reliable in gathering information. There was a lot of information that was not clear. Lu Li had better go in person.
Five days later, Uncle Li was almost recovered. Lu Li left the castle alone and wandered around the Green-crescent Peak.
He had 90 pieces of Divine Origin Gold with him. He planned to use them to find out everything about the Heaven Clouds Peak and the Demon Subduing Tower.
Lu Li wandered around the Green-crescent Peak. There were many castles here. Apart from the ones that were empty, the others were all closed. Clearly, the people inside were cultivating.
"There is a pond over there!"
Lu Li walked to the north side of the mountain and saw a pond halfway up the mountain. The pond was surrounded by mist. Lu Li could faintly see some people in the mist.
Lu Li hurried over along the mountain path. When he was close, he used psychic power to check and found some people cultivating by the pond.
"They're all in seclusion?"
Lu Li used psychic power to check and found 11 people near the pond. All of them were in closed-door cultivation.
People hated to be disturbed when they were cultivating. If Lu Li were to wake them up by force, he might incur their wrath, let alone getting information.
"There is someone over there!"
There was a river upstream of the pond. Lu Li used psychic power to check and found a girl taking a walk by the river a couple of miles away.
"Go and ask!"
Girls were greedy for petty gains and gossipy. They were the best at gathering information.
Lu Li strode over. He kept a distance of half a mile from the girl and raised his voice on purpose in case the girl would misunderstand.
The girl might not have heard Lu Li's footsteps or she was in deep thought. She stood under a willow tree by the river, gazing into the river. She didn't even notice Lu Li was close by.
The girl had a beautiful figure. She was wearing a green dress. She had a pure and refined temperament. Lu Li could not see her face clearly because there was a veil over it. It must be a piece of treasure.
Lu Li stopped about 10 feet away from the lady. He cupped his fists and said, "Lady, sorry for the intrusion."
The girl turned around. Lu Li saw a pair of watery eyes, bright and beautiful.
There was no emotion in her eyes. She said softly, "What's the matter?"
"I am Lu Li. I just moved into the Green Moon Peak not long ago. This is my ID Token!"
Lu Li was afraid that he would scare the girl away. He took out his jade talisman and said with a smile, "I am looking for you for some information. If you can tell me, I will reward you handsomely."
"Generous reward?"
A faint smile appeared in the woman's eyes as she asked, "What can you give me in return?"
"I have some Divine Origin Gold!"
Lu Li was delighted. It was true that girls liked to take advantage of others. He took out some pieces of white Divine Origin Gold and said, "Answer my question and I will give you a piece of Divine Origin Gold. What do you think?"
Lu Li and Uncle Li made a bet and won 90 pieces of Divine Origin Gold. Lu Li didn't know what the Divine Origin Gold could be used for at the Cloud Mountain. If he could get some accurate information, he wouldn't mind spending it.
"Okay!"
The lady nodded. She didn't look at the Divine Origin Gold in Lu Li's hand. She said softly, "You said it. One piece of Divine Origin Gold for one question. Give me the Divine Origin Gold first and I will answer your questions."
"A gentleman never goes back on his word!"
Lu Li said straightforwardly. He threw a piece of Divine Origin Gold to her and asked, "First question. Will the leaders of the Cloud Mountain still dare to plot against me after I get the iron token?
I have some old scores with one of them. "
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
The lady shrugged and said, "The iron token is nothing. Only with the bronze token will the leaders not dare to do anything.
But I think they will be more careful. After all, if something goes wrong, they will be executed by the Hall of Penal Laws! "
Lu Li was satisfied with the lady's answer. He threw another piece of Divine Origin Gold and said, "If there is a leader who wants to harm me, what will he do?
Will he enlist me to hunt Beasts of Primordial Chaos? "
"That's two questions!"
The lady reached out her hand. Lu Li had to give her another piece of Divine Origin Gold. She said with satisfaction, "There is no way to enlist someone with the iron token. But one year after you get the iron token, you will have a chance to cultivate under the Demon King's Stone. The Demon King's Stone is more than 300 miles away from the Cloud Mountain.
Unless you give up this chance, that leader might do something to you after you leave the Cloud Mountain.
Also … he might ask other warriors with the iron token to provoke you and enrage you so that you will have to go out and fight! "
"Demon King's Stone?"
This was the first time Lu Li had heard of this. He asked in surprise, "What is the Demon King's Stone?"
"That is another question!"
The lady in green reached out her hand. Lu Li gave her another piece of Divine Origin Gold. She said with satisfaction, "To the north of the Cloud Mountain, there is a mountain. There is a stone on the mountain. The Demon King once cultivated there and left some Profound Meaning on the stone. It is said that many people have learned some powerful Fundamental Meanings from the Demon King's Stone."
"Those with the iron token can go there to cultivate for a day once a year. Those with the bronze token can go there once a month. Those with the silver token can go there to cultivate as many times as they want. As for … those with the gold token are strong enough. They don't need to cultivate under the Demon King's Stone."
"Oh, that is a good place!"
Lu Li felt more confident now. He had just gotten the iron token, but the leader and the warriors didn't tell him.
He thought about it and asked, "Is it easy to pass the second level of the Demon Subduing Tower?"
The lady reached out her hand. Lu Li gave her a piece of Divine Origin Gold. She said with a smile, "It depends on your strength. It is not difficult for powerful warriors. But for low-level warriors … it is difficult. They will die for sure."
"Aren't you talking nonsense …"
Lu Li rolled his eyes. The lady added with a smile, "With your current abilities, it is already incredible that you can pass the first level. If you go to the second level, you will have an 80% chance of dying."
Lu Li gave her a piece of Divine Origin Gold and asked, "Then can you describe in detail what kind of demons there are on the second level of the Demon Subduing Tower?
What kind of skills do they have? Do you have any skills? "
The lady said nothing. She reached out three fingers and then opened her palm. Lu Li understood. He gave her another two pieces of Divine Origin Gold. The lady said, "I cannot answer your three questions because I have never passed the second level of the Demon Subduing Tower.
If I had the skills, I would have passed the second level and I would be living on the Heaven Clouds Peak now. Are you stupid?
How can you ask such questions? "
"Sh * t!"
Lu Li was speechless. He said with frustration, "Lady, you can't answer my questions and then you swindled me of three pieces of Divine Origin Gold?
You swindled me and you said I am stupid. You are so unreasonable. "
