352: Big Business

A look of disbelief appeared on Liang Yun's face.

Du Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"If that small Mortal nation of yours were to be sold on the outside, over a billion lives would only be worth less than one thousand immortal fate stones."

"Can you understand if I use this analogy?"

Liang Yun's expression became quite dazed at this moment; she never expected that the two of them had spent so much money just now, and merely to buy one person's life.

"Revered Master gave me so many resources, doesn't that mean..."

Liang Yun's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief; the immortal fate stones her Revered Master had given her amounted to a full million!

A Golden Immortal Expert would have to go without eating, drinking, or Cultivating for a full 80 years to save up that many resources, yet Revered Master just gave them away like that!

Liang Yun's eyes turned slightly red; she once felt that she really didn't deserve such resources, as the quantity was simply too large!

Du Xian gently patted her head.

"Don't worry. Since Revered Master was willing to bring them out, they are what you deserve. You don't need to worry about these things; these are resources Revered Master was willing to give you."

Du Xian knew very well what she was worried about.

"What we spent just now is not even a drop in the bucket for the Sect. We can use any of the Sect's resources at will; this is something we must do."

"Since that guy has any improper thoughts about the Sect, we must nip it in the bud immediately!"

"Even if it weren't us, there would be others to do this."

"In short, any price can be paid, but the Sect must absolutely not suffer any grievances."

Du Xian was merely stating his own principles for living; regardless, he could never let his Sect be shamed!

Liang Yun nodded, half-understanding.

"Alright, let's go back now and tell Revered Master about this. Revered Master will definitely not blame us."

"When I first joined, I was just like you, full of all sorts of worries. But slowly, you will discover that the Sect Master is very good to us. He is not only our Revered Master, but even more like our father."

A rare softness appeared in Du Xian's eyes; this was likely one of the few times he was gentle.

After all, Revered Master had bestowed great kindness upon him.

Only when facing Revered Master would he be like this.

After another day of flying, the two finally returned to the Heavenly Profound Sect.

The two headed straight for the place where Revered Master usually handled official business.

Li Haotian was currently reviewing some external guidelines, which included how to deal with other forces—which ones were friendly and which ones were not.

"Revered Master, we have finished our investigation."

Du Xian hopped and skipped over to his Revered Master. No matter how fierce or cruel he usually was, right now he was just like a child.

"What did you investigate? I remember you were supposed to accompany your Junior Sister home."

Li Haotian had no idea what these two were talking about. After some explanation, he finally understood that someone actually wanted to infiltrate the nation.

But the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom had clearly just been established not long ago; why was it being infiltrated so quickly?

Their location was very remote; how could they be discovered so quickly? One had to know that they currently had almost no external activities.

Under these circumstances, generally no one would know their location, or even what this force was called.

As a result, the other party had already started infiltrating, which was enough to prove that someone already understood them, or was targeting them.

Li Haotian furrowed his brows. After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally nodded.

"You did the right thing in this matter. It is precisely to let them know what kind of fate awaits them after provoking us."

Du Xian immediately revealed a bright smile.

The heavy stone in Liang Yun's heart also fell slightly.

Fortunately, after hearing that they had spent so much money, Revered Master did not choose to punish them, but instead offered them encouragement.

Senior Brother was indeed right; one must absolutely not let the Sect's majesty be damaged.

"You did indeed do very well. I will have people investigate this matter; you do not need to be responsible for following up on it anymore."

Li Haotian's face showed a heavy expression, but he still planned to personally visit the Wind and Rain Tower.

The Wind and Rain Tower appeared to be very short of money now and was criticized by everyone. If he could incorporate them, he could obtain a large-scale intelligence agency.

Although they focused on killing and infiltration, a large number of Powerhouses among them should also have some understanding of various forces.

At the same time, they could serve as the Heavenly Profound Sect's eyes and ears outside to collect information, and whenever they had any needs, they could produce the corresponding information.

Li Haotian smiled slightly, then soared into the air and disappeared from the spot. He had no understanding of the Wind and Rain Tower force, and it was his first time hearing of it; wanting to know their location would probably take some effort.

According to what Du Xian said, to find them, it seemed one needed to speak some code words; otherwise, they would not trade with him.

Unless he produced a large sum of money at once.

After wandering the streets for a long time, Li Haotian finally set his sights on the Tianji Pavilion.

Li Haotian entered the Tianji Pavilion. His identity had long been recorded, and the enthusiastic staff naturally received him immediately.

"Prefect of the Anbei Immortal Kingdom, Li Haotian, hello. I am the staff member responsible for receiving you."

Li Haotian did not waste any words and directly asked for the address of the Wind and Rain Tower.

Paying the price of five hundred immortal fate stones, he learned of their stronghold in this city.

Following the information, Li Haotian arrived at the location of an inn.

After pushing the door open and entering, he saw someone enthusiastically coming up to greet him.

"I don't know the code words for this place."

The Waiter's expression suddenly showed some confusion, as if he had no idea what the other party was talking about.

"Guest, you don't need any code words to eat here."

Li Haotian chose to directly display his financial power and placed a bag of money on the table.

"This is the result I can produce. If you are not willing to do business, I will leave right now."

The Waiter was stunned on the spot, then grabbed the other party and pulled him into a private room, preparing to discuss.

Li Haotian smiled slightly. It seemed that, just as they had said, this Wind and Rain Tower was extremely short of money. As long as he displayed a certain amount of financial power, they would choose to serve him directly without needing code words.

"Guest, we have many services here. Which one would you like?"

A middle-aged woman greeted him with a smile. She was the person in charge here and was naturally very excited; finally, a business deal had arrived!

It was said that a very wealthy big client had come this time.

"I want to discuss a very big business deal with you this time. I just don't know if you have the courage to do it with me?"

Li Haotian picked up the tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
