Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 343 The Astronomical Consultation Fee

Xueying was a spirit beast at the War God level, and Qin Hanchu did not want to expose it here.

Putting away the Spirit Taming Talisman, Qin Hanchu rode the Flying White Tiger towards the outskirts of the city.

Arriving outside the city, Qin Hanchu said, "Give up resisting and show your head."

The Xueying was helpless and had no choice but to obey.

Under Qin Hanchu's control, the Xueying's head was revealed.

As for its body, it was tightly bound by layers of Qianji Ice Silk.

Qin Hanchu dripped blood to activate the Spirit Taming Talisman, and then pressed the talisman onto the Xueying's head.

The Spirit Taming Talisman suddenly burned and then turned into a blue light that entered the Xueying's head.

With the Spirit Taming Talisman, Qin Hanchu could clearly feel the Xueying's emotions and thoughts.

The Xueying, on the other hand, could not muster any thought of resistance.

As long as it was Qin Hanchu's command, it would obey unconditionally, as if its mind had been washed.

With the restriction of the Spirit Taming Talisman, Qin Hanchu then retracted the power of the Qianji Ice Silk into his body.

"You two find a place to wait for me. I need to go back to the city to gather some information," Qin Hanchu said.

"Yes." The two spirit beasts responded.

After Qin Hanchu left, the Flying White Tiger said respectfully to the Xueying, "Big brother, where are we going?"

The Xueying raised its head proudly and then said, "Just follow me."

Seeing the Xueying fly up, the Flying White Tiger hurried to catch up.

When Qin Hanchu was not around, the Xueying was the boss.

It was all because of the Xueying's superior strength.

Returning to Qianshan City, Qin Hanchu went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Who goes there? This is the City Lord's Mansion, a restricted area. Approaching without permission is forbidden."

As Qin Hanchu approached the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, guards stepped forward to block him.

"Please inform the City Lord that I wish to see him," Qin Hanchu said.

"Do you think you can see the City Lord just because you want to?"

"If you want to see the City Lord, let your master come."

Although these guards were ordinary elemental warriors, their status was very high.

Even the heads of the city's families had to treat them with courtesy.

This is what is meant by a minor official in the prime minister's court.

"Lord of Qianshan City, could you come out and meet me!"

Qin Hanchu couldn't be bothered to argue with these guards.

Since they wouldn't pass on the message, Qin Hanchu decided to call out himself.

"You scoundrel, is the gate of the City Lord's Mansion a place for you to cause trouble?"

Seeing Qin Hanchu shouting, the leading guard was furious.

As he cursed, he punched towards Qin Hanchu.

Qin Hanchu did not want to make things difficult for these guards, but their actions were asking for trouble.

Before the guard's fist could touch Qin Hanchu, it was frozen into an ice sculpture by a terrifying cold force.

This scene frightened the guards at the gate into retreating in panic.

They did not expect the youth before them to be so terrifying.

Without moving, he turned a leader at the War King level into an ice sculpture. This was definitely a powerhouse at the War Saint level.

This is too monstrous! To possess the strength of a War Saint at such a young age!

"Please come in!"

At this moment, a voice came from the depths of the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Hanchu ignored the stunned guards and walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

A moment later, Qin Hanchu saw the City Lord of Qianshan City in the mansion's great hall.

Seeing Qin Hanchu, the City Lord of Qianshan City's eyes were full of surprise. "You are the one who wants to see me? Was it you using the cold force at the gate just now?"

"No need to doubt, I am at the War God level," Qin Hanchu said.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord of Qianshan City's expression was full of disbelief.

He had already sensed a War God level powerhouse at the gate earlier, but he never expected the visitor to be such a young man.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Why are you looking for me?"

The City Lord of Qianshan City found it hard to believe. Could someone so young really reach the War God level?

If it were true, wouldn't Qin Hanchu have a chance to break through to the Spirit Realm?

"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm here to ask you a question."

The City Lord of Qianshan City said with a grim face, "Ask."

"Do you know of Demon Spirit Mountain?"

The City Lord of Qianshan City looked confused. He shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Qin Hanchu was puzzled. Demon Spirit Mountain should be quite famous.

How could even the City Lord of Qianshan City not have heard of it?

"Never heard of it?" Qin Hanchu asked.

The City Lord of Qianshan City shook his head, "Never heard of it."

Qin Hanchu was bewildered. Had he come to the wrong world?

Seeing Qin Hanchu's confused silence, the City Lord of Qianshan City said, "You can go to the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion to inquire. If they don't know either, then such a place does not exist."

"Thank you."

Qin Hanchu knew that the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion could gather information.

However, the fees charged by the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion were too exorbitant.

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Hanchu still went to the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion.

Even though he had no money, it didn't stop him from inquiring about the price.

Qin Hanchu had just purchased a Spirit Taming Talisman, so the staff at the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion warmly welcomed him.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?" a beautiful staff member asked.

Qin Hanchu said, "I want to inquire about information regarding Demon Spirit Mountain. Please give me a quote."

"One moment, please."

This staff member was not a core member of the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion.

The question Qin Hanchu asked was not something she could answer.

After waiting for a long time in the lounge area, the staff member returned with a look of shock.

"Sir, information about Demon Spirit Mountain requires one hundred purple cards."

One hundred purple cards, that meant one million top-grade primal stones.

It was precisely because of this exorbitant price that the staff member was so shocked.

She had worked at the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion for nearly ten years and the largest transaction she had handled was only ten purple cards.

A piece of information costing one hundred purple cards, this was too terrifying.

What kind of place was Demon Spirit Mountain?

It was so valuable!

Qin Hanchu was also startled!

He just wanted to know about Demon Spirit Mountain, and they were asking for one hundred purple cards?

Even if Qin Hanchu was at the War God level, it would be extremely difficult to earn one hundred purple cards.

The spirit core of a War God level spirit beast was only worth one purple card.

To gather a hundred cards, wouldn't that mean killing a hundred War God level spirit beasts?

War God level spirit beasts were not easy to find.

Finding a hundred War God level spirit beasts would take at least several years.

"Since the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion dares to set this price, it means they truly know the information about Demon Spirit Mountain."

After the shock, Qin Hanchu's eyes held a glimmer of hope.

As long as the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion had information about Demon Spirit Mountain, then he wouldn't have to wander around like a headless fly.

As for the one hundred purple cards, it wasn't an insurmountable obstacle.

Leaving the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion, Qin Hanchu walked and pondered ways to make money.

Hunting War God level spirit beasts was a last resort.

After all, the number of War God level spirit beasts was not large, and hunting them required time to search everywhere.

After much thought, business was the fastest way to make money.

But Qin Hanchu was alone, how could he get involved in business?

By this time, the city's industries were already well-developed.

If he didn't resort to force, Qin Hanchu simply couldn't compete with those commercial families.

The backing of these commercial families was the City Lord of Qianshan City.

The City Lord of Qianshan City would not allow Qin Hanchu to disrupt the city's ecological environment.

"If all else fails, I'll have to resort to robbery," Qin Hanchu's eyes lit up, as he thought of the fastest way to make money.
