NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6
Da da da————
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside Luoyang City. It was Qiao Feng riding alone.
"Xiao Yuanshan should have great gains from this retreat to reorganize his martial arts, and perhaps he will also step into the realm of a grandmaster."
Qiao Feng said to himself, while getting off his horse and walking into Luoyang City.
Looking at the wide streets in the city and the shouts of street vendors, Qiao Feng couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of Luoyang City.
After entering the city, he had a clear goal and went straight to the Luoyang Tianji Tower.
"These people are……"
Halfway through, Qiao Feng gradually slowed down his pace and glanced at the group of women who were walking away quickly.
These women were all of average to above average appearance, and were obviously carefully selected.
Their steady steps did not seem to be weak, but from his own memory, he could not recognize which sect or school they belonged to. While
Qiao Feng was thinking, he had already arrived in front of a magnificent four-story building.
Looking at the three characters"Tianji Building" on the plaque, Qiao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
The person who wrote the inscription had a strong cultivation base, and there was a sense of calmness hidden in it, which was hidden but not revealed.
Entering the hall, Qiao Feng's eyes were slightly fixed, because the team of women who had just moved quickly was in the front hall of Tianji Building.
However, the two women in the lead had disappeared.
Ignoring these, Qiao Feng went to one of the windows.
The Tianji Building was very simple. In the front hall, there were small windows for purchasing the previous hero list, master list, and beauty list, as well as windows for buying and selling intelligence, which was convenient for many martial artists.
The window that Qiao Feng went to was where they bought intelligence. There were seven or eight people queuing in front of it. It was obvious that Tianji Tower was doing very good business.
""Master, please come this way."
Qiao Feng was about to catch up with the queue, but suddenly a servant came quickly to his side.
Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows,"Huh?"
"Our manager wants to see you. Hope you can do us the honor of meeting us."The servant explained with a smile.
""Okay." Qiao Feng's heart moved slightly, and he agreed.
The two walked through the middle corridor all the way to the backyard, and stopped in front of a house with relatively simple decorations.
""Boss Qiao, please come in." The servant opened the door.
Qiao Feng replied casually,"Do you know me?"
"Boss Qiao is a peerless hero, how could we not know him?" The servant nodded and bowed.
Qiao Feng nodded slightly and stepped in.
There was a middle-aged man in the room, who was not very conspicuous. Qiao Feng was stunned when he saw him, because this man was actually a master-level expert.
The middle-aged man stood up to greet him,"Boss Qiao, please have a seat. Xiao Wu, please serve the tea quickly."
Qiao Feng nodded slightly and bowed,"I wonder why you invited me here?"
The middle-aged man said,"I am Wang Quan, the helmsman of the Luoyang branch of Tianji Tower. I am ordered by the owner of the tower to manage all matters here. Boss Qiao must have important matters to visit Tianji Tower. How could he let you queue up in the hall with other martial artists?"
Qiao Feng couldn’t help but hold his forehead when he heard this. He really didn’t have any important matters.
"It was Captain Wang who overestimated me, and now Qiao is no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect. I believe that with the ability of your Tianji Tower, you must have known the cause and effect long ago. I came here today just to buy some relevant intelligence from the Tianji Tower and understand the trends in the martial arts world."
Wang Quan still had a smiling expression on his face,"May I ask Qiao Gang... what specific intelligence does Qiao need? Perhaps I can recommend some for you."
Qiao Feng was not hypocritical, and immediately said:"Hulong Villa, Ruyang Palace, Xixia Yipintang, Jinyiwei, and Yihua Palace, Shenjian Villa, Zhujian City, Xiaoyao Sect, Peach Blossom Island, Wudang, Mingjiao, Tianchi... The intelligence of these sects in the past three months, as well as the summary of intelligence between various countries."
Qiao Feng named nearly 30 sects and forces in a row, which made Wang Quan stunned.
You should know that the Beggars' Sect itself has a strong intelligence capability, so it has almost never purchased intelligence from the Tianji Tower.
Now Qiao Feng came here and actually wanted to know so much sect intelligence, which made Wang Quan have to think more.
"Well, Mr. Qiao, if I could get all this information, I'm afraid it would be very expensive."
Qiao Feng asked,"How much silver would it cost?""
"If it's just general information about the martial arts world, three to five hundred taels would be enough, but if you want more details, you'll need at least seven thousand taels of silver."
Qiao Feng frowned:"So expensive?"
Wang Quan could only laugh dryly. Intelligence is expensive, but the reputation is here, and there is no other place to compare, so it's basically hard earned.
"Master Qiao, I just calculated that the information you mentioned is worth about 7,300 taels in total. This is Master Qiao's first visit to our Tianji Tower, so I can make the decision and only charge you 6,000 taels. What do you think?"
Qiao Feng pondered for a moment and said,"Master Wang, can you give me a summary of Shaolin masters ?"
"Of course, Mr. Qiao, please wait a moment."
Soon, Qiao Feng took a booklet, read a few pages, and smiled.
"Captain Wang, maybe I can provide you with some top-secret information to pay for the information I need this time."
Wang Quan:"This... Mr. Qiao, why don't you tell me"
"Then I will briefly explain it. You see how valuable it is. You don't have the strongest master of Shaolin Temple here. You probably don't know the reason for the mysterious master fight in Shaolin Temple a few days ago. You don't know the whereabouts of Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Ming Cult, the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Sword, the whereabouts of Dugu Jiujian swordsmanship, and the whereabouts of the Nine Yin Manual.……"
Qiao Feng spoke more than 20 pieces of information in a row, and then said,"Captain Wang, please take a look at these pieces of information and see which ones can be exchanged for 7,000 taels of silver."
Wang Quan had already listened in a daze.
"This, Hero Qiao, let me think about it."
Qiao Feng nodded, looking at him pinching his fingers with a changing expression, not knowing what he was calculating.
After a long while, Wang Quan trembled and said,"Hero Qiao, do you really know the whereabouts of the Nine Yin Manual and the Dugu Nine Swords?"
Qiao Feng's eyes turned cold,"Others don't know, how can you in Tianji Tower still suspect Qiao? Even the battle of Yanmen Pass that year, I'm afraid you have almost investigated it."
Wang Quan smiled awkwardly and said,"Hero Qiao, please don't blame us, we have to confirm the authenticity of the information."
Qiao Feng said,"You can only choose one of these two. Seven thousand taels added together are not enough, and it's only this time. Otherwise, gold and white things cannot measure the value of this information."
Wang Quan nodded repeatedly,"I choose the whereabouts of the Nine Yin Manual."
Qiao Feng secretly thought that the importance of the secret manual in the martial arts world is indeed more valuable than a certain person or a certain thing.
"The Nine Yin Manual is divided into two parts. The upper part is only known by Zhou Botong, the old naughty boy, and he is now on Peach Blossom Island. The lower part is in Mongolia. You can find the lower half of the Nine Yin Manual by finding the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan."
""Huh?"
Wang Quan was a little confused.
"That’s all the information I have. You don’t want me to continue telling you how to make the Old Boy speak, or how to enter Peach Blossom Island, do you?
"Or maybe, Captain Wang thinks that the entire Nine Yin Manual is only worth seven thousand taels?"
Wang Quan hurriedly apologized,"No, no, Master Qiao, you are joking. How can such a unique skill be measured by money?" For a master-level expert like him, he would not have to act so humble if he was not facing Qiao Feng.
Wang Quan continued,"I will arrange the information for Master Qiao right away. There is one more thing, does Master Qiao need any top-level internal skills?"
Qiao Feng frowned,"Huh?"
"Yesterday, we received new intelligence. We in Tianji Tower got clues about Yijinjing. If Master Qiao needs it, we can exchange it with information about the strongest master in Shaolin. We can also suppress the news that Master Qiao killed someone in Shaolin.
Qiao Feng narrowed his eyes. It seems that Tianji Tower is not that weak.
However, it is normal for them to know that he did it in Shaolin without hiding it. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms made such a noise.
"Okay, tell me the whereabouts of Yi Jin Jing first."
Regarding Yi Jin Jing, Qiao Feng thought of Ah Zhu being forced to jump off the cliff, and couldn't help but say.
Wang Quan said:"The Shaolin Temple's Scripture Pavilion was robbed the day before yesterday, and Yi Jin Jing was lost. According to intelligence, the secret book is in a woman, and we in Tianji Tower just happen to know the whereabouts of that woman. She is in Luoyang today, but she is very good at disguising herself, and there has been no news since she entered the city."
Qiao Feng shook his head secretly when he heard this. It is estimated that Ah Zhu was discovered when she was wearing monk's clothes.
""Regarding the loss of Yi Jin Jing in Luoyang, no less than 20 masters have already known about it, and rumors have begun to spread throughout the city." Wang Quan added.
Qiao Feng's expression became serious,"Huh? You want to make trouble?"
Wang Quan shook his head repeatedly,"No, no, we are just businessmen, and this matter was also decided by the owner of the building. I am only responsible for the execution."
"Bai Xiaosheng... There are many powerful people in the martial arts world. He is too arrogant to stir up trouble. I will send the information to my place after it is sorted out. I think you will know it."
Qiao Feng left this message and got up and left.
"I will give you the information about Shaolin's strongest man when this matter is finished."
