273: The struggle for the direct line of Lingyao Valley

The Waiter was overjoyed as he looked at the 100 Spirit Stones the other party had casually tipped him.

"As for Hermit Hanmei, the flowers and plants he grows have a specific location."

"As long as you see flowers and plants on the snowy mountain, it's best to stay away."

"The others don't have specific locations."

"However, it is rumored that they occasionally head to Cold Moon City, the center of the Northern Loose Cultivators Alliance."

"Cold Moon City is the most prosperous city in our region."

Gu Changan actually felt a hint of yearning for Cold Moon City!

"Then let's talk about Spirit Medicine Valley!"

"If I want to purchase a Spirit Medicine, who should I look for?"

The Waiter fumbled with the Storage Pouch in his hand, which contained a full 110.

"Senior! Common Spirit Medicines and Medicinal Pills are sold in every shop within Spirit Medicine Valley!"

"If the quantity is large, you might need to order in advance!"

"If you are looking for some rarer Spirit Medicines or Medicinal Pills,"

"you have to go to the shops opened by Spirit Medicine Valley itself!"

"If these shops don't have them for sale either, then you can only look for internal personnel of Spirit Medicine Valley."

"Ask them to find a way to exchange them from within Spirit Medicine Valley, but it might require spending Contribution Points!"

Gu Changan nodded; the channels he mentioned were quite reasonable!

Then, the flesh fungus spirit fetus he needed would most likely not be available in outside shops.

It would have to be the last scenario: finding an insider to help him exchange for it.

But what would be most advantageous for him?

Of course, it would be to directly control someone!

That way, wouldn't he be able to exchange for whatever he wanted?

Gu Changan took another sip of the Hundred Flower Brew, but he felt like he had forgotten something.

He suddenly remembered that when he was interrogating Wu Shouzhuo, he seemed to have mentioned it.

Spirit Medicine Valley's flesh fungus spirit fetus had previously been divided among major powers for their own cultivation due to a joint boycott.

Then why should he hang himself on one tree?

If he couldn't get it here, he would just go to other powers to get it!

With so many powers possessing it, there would surely be one that didn't care as much or had weak defenses.

That would give him an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Gu Changan suddenly relaxed.

When the time came, he would just hand this task over to Tingfeng Hall.

Naturally, someone would deliver the item to his hands.

But Tingfeng Hall?

It seemed the Northern Loose Cultivators Alliance didn't have one yet!

Should he establish another Tingfeng Hall here?

Looking at the Waiter in front of him, he seemed very suitable for the position of Hall Master.

It's just that his cultivation was a bit low, only at the Qi Refining Stage!

Gu Changan picked up a piece of lean meat and shook off the seasonings.

But in his heart, he was wondering whether to take this Waiter under his wing.

He couldn't give him the position of Hall Master for now, but he could do odd jobs inside!

After all, he came into contact with so many people every day?

This position was just perfect.

After making up his mind, Gu Changan glanced at the Waiter sideways.

"I have an errand here. Do you want to take it?"

"You don't need to do much, just collect the various information from the people coming and going here every day."

"You need to summarize it and hand it to me!"

"As for the reward, I believe you have seen it, with so many Spirit Stones in your hand."

"For me, it doesn't mean anything at all!"

"Of course, in the future, if you want resources, you will need Contribution Points."

"Contribution Points are what you get in exchange for the various information you collect."

The Waiter furrowed his brows and looked around uneasily.

After discovering that no one was paying attention to them,

he asked cautiously: "Is it really just for some information?"

Gu Changan picked up a peanut and tossed it into his mouth: "You? At the Qi Refining Stage? What could I possibly want from you?"

"Well, this mouth of yours can still provide some information."

"What else is worth me coveting?"

The Waiter thought about it seriously and looked at himself.

It seemed that was really the case!

However, he still tentatively asked: "Can I refuse?"

Gu Changan casually tossed out a Storage Pouch.

Inside was a Tingfeng Hall Token and a Tingfeng Hall mask.

Finally, there was also a bottle of red pill for the Qi Refining Stage.

"Here, the items are here!"

"Whether you want them or not is up to you!"

"In the future, if you meet someone holding the same Token, they are one of our own!"

"Of course, this kind of Token can transmit sound within a certain range."

"You can also report the news you obtain through this Token!"

The Waiter held the Storage Pouch in his hand, not knowing whether to accept it or not.

He looked very conflicted!

Gu Changan continued eating on his own.

"Alright! Hurry up and put it away, don't let anyone else see it!"

"I have a few other questions for you!"

"For example, what is the internal structure of Spirit Medicine Valley like?"

"If I want to purchase some relatively precious Spirit Medicines or Medicinal Pills, who should I look for?"

The Waiter turned his head to look behind him and found that no one was paying attention to this side.

He quickly tucked the Storage Pouch into his chest, planning to deal with it after he got back.

"Spirit Medicine Valley is also in an extraordinary period right now."

"If you, Senior, want to purchase Spirit Medicines or Medicinal Pills, you might need to find a Cultivator above the Golden Core Stage."

"Or some heirs of Spirit Medicine Valley!"

Gu Changan became interested and glanced at him: "Elaborate on that!"

The Waiter's eyes were filled with gossip: "I heard that the Valley Master of Spirit Medicine Valley has little Lifespan left!"

Gu Changan paused his eating: "Little Lifespan left?"

"What is the cultivation level of the Spirit Medicine Valley Master?"

The Waiter: "Late Golden Core Stage, he has never broken through to the Golden Core Perfection; as for the Nascent Soul Stage, there is even less hope!"

Gu Changan clicked his tongue: "Then what about Daoist Master Qingmu? With his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, he should be able to hold down the fort!"

The Waiter: "Daoist Master Qingmu is the Old Ancestor; he usually stays in seclusion to Cultivate!"

"Occasionally he refines Medicinal Pills and drinks tea, he doesn't care about these mundane matters at all."

"As long as there are no major problems with the main body of Spirit Medicine Valley, Daoist Master Qingmu generally won't intervene!"

Gu Changan nodded, but his gaze was still scanning the table to see which dish he hadn't tasted yet.

"So the Valley Master has little Lifespan left, then what?"

The Waiter's gossiping voice sounded again: "Spirit Medicine Valley has a legitimate heir, the Young Valley Master Yao Xuanheng, who is also at the Late Golden Core Stage!"

"However, he is stubborn and self-opinionated, and refuses to listen to what others have to say!"

"He speaks rudely to some Elders and deacons in the sect, so everyone is somewhat dissatisfied with him, but they dare not say anything!"

"He has a large group of supporters, all of whom are direct beneficiaries of Spirit Medicine Valley!"

"Spirit Medicine Valley also has an illegitimate daughter!"

"Her name is Medicinal Spirit, and she has a cultivation level of Early Golden Core Stage!"

"Her mother was a Loose Cultivator from outside the valley, so her bloodline is not considered pure, but she is talented and intelligent, and it is said that she even has a special spirit body!"

"She is enthusiastic and open-minded, and a group of people have gathered around her."

"However, most of these people are Cultivators with different surnames, such as sons-in-law who married into the family or guest retainers."

"This group of people is banded together, supporting Medicinal Spirit!"

"So far, these two groups are at loggerheads!"

"If you, Senior, want to seek resources, you can find these two factions."
