Chapter 1242 Spiritual Energy Storm
This was not how the Fu Ling Restaurant had always conducted business.
Making money was acceptable, but risking one’s life for it.
That was an untenable approach.
The proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant toyed with the three tokens in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
He had accepted Chen Yang's commission previously purely because Chen Yang was generous.
And it was evident that he was a long-term client.
But now, he had to directly engage with the client.
This was being a middleman!
It was no longer as simple as trading information.
The proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant stood up and looked out the window at the spiritual energy storm slowly dissipating, his gaze somewhat lost.
After a long while, the proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant said in a deep voice, "Ling Tianba and those fellows gathering together should be for that long-circulating matter!"
The waiter's eyebrows shot up, "You don't mean? The Nascent Soul Tomb?"
"Impossible, right?"
"Even if they were crazy, they shouldn't get involved in this. Even if the person they are waiting for is a peak Coalescence Realm expert, they are merely at the ninth layer of Coalescence!"
"Those who set their sights on the Nascent Soul Tomb are all peak Coalescence Realm experts, without exception."
"What's the difference between them going there and seeking death?"
The proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant did not reply, but instead stroked the string of ancient coins at his waist.
This was his sixth sense, an indescribable feeling.
This sixth sense had allowed Fu Ling Restaurant to survive until now.
And now, Ling Tianba's actions made him feel uneasy.
This unease was not just about worrying for Fu Ling Restaurant.
It was about worrying for the entire Spiritual Domain.
The proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant asked another question, "How is the investigation into the identities of those three people coming along?"
Since they could produce so many spirit stones, Fu Ling Restaurant naturally had to investigate Chen Yang and the others to some extent.
"Only one of their identities has been uncovered."
"Although their appearance has changed somewhat, their style of conduct is not difficult to discern. They are from the Barbarian Race."
"The Barbarian Race did not send any particularly powerful cultivators for this opening of the Spiritual Domain. I heard they are letting Suoluha'er, a seventh-layer Coalescence cultivator, contend for opportunities."
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant could not help but express some surprise, "It's not Tie Muha Zhen who was sent?"
The waiter nodded slowly, "Logically speaking, Tie Muha Zhen should be the one most likely to break through to the Coalescence Realm in the Barbarian Race now."
"Perhaps the one in charge of the Barbarian Race is also worried that if another peak Coalescence Realm expert emerges, it will be difficult to control the entire Barbarian Race. After all, if the lower ranks know about certain matters, trouble will pile up one after another."
Tie Muha Zhen might have no interest in the leadership of the Barbarian Race, but others would not think so. They might very well force Tie Muha Zhen into the position.
For the current Barbarian Race, such a situation absolutely could not happen.
"The other two are not from the Barbarian Race, and their investigation is still ongoing." After all, Fu Ling Restaurant was not a professional intelligence organization. They generally only collected information about peak Coalescence Realm experts and matters concerning the surroundings of the Spiritual Domain.
"No need to investigate further. If they are not from the Barbarian Race, then those two should be from the newly rising Hope Land of the Human Race."
The proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant's conjecture left the waiter somewhat astonished.
He had indeed heard of the name Hope Land.
The restaurant had previously bought quite a few items at extremely high prices, and those items all came from Hope Land.
However, the distance between the two places was too great, so the waiter had only heard of it and did not know much more.
"The Barbarian Race previously contended for a spiritual脉 with the Demon Capital Prefecture. Logically, the Barbarian Race should not have won, but the Barbarian Race not only won, but the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture has not appeared even until now!"
"There are rumors that the Human Race is supporting the Barbarian Race from behind the scenes, though there is no evidence to support this matter."
"But I think, besides the Human Race, what other force would dare to help the Barbarian Race?"
"The Demon Capital Prefecture has always had the support of those old fellows behind it, and no one would be foolish enough to offend them."
"Only the Human Race has this courage. It seems that this time in the Spiritual Domain, no! "
"The entire Earth Realm is about to become lively."
As the proprietor of Fu Ling Restaurant spoke, he threw the three tokens in his hand to the waiter, "Sell them to Ling Tianba, and also try to find out what these fellows are up to. Use Fu Ling Restaurant as a cover."
"Let them think that I also want to participate!"
The waiter, who had been waiting for this instruction, immediately understood.
Fu Ling Restaurant would absolutely not get involved in the matter of the Nascent Soul Tomb, but by using Fu Ling Restaurant to lure them out, perhaps they could extract extremely useful intelligence.
Just as Chen Yang and the others were waiting quietly in their room, the waiter knocked on the hall door, carrying food.
Chen Yang and the others immediately focused their gazes on the waiter.
Seeing this, the waiter smiled and handed a spatial ring to Chen Yang, saying, "This is the price they offered. Our proprietor has taken a thirty percent cut in the middle."
Seeing that Chen Yang was not concerned about the amount of spirit stones, and didn't even look at them, the waiter understood that these people truly did not lack spirit stones.
"We have also inquired about what these fellows are planning to do."
"The leader is called Saint Moon Divine Venerable."
"As for the peak Coalescence Realm expert they are waiting for, it is the Peng King Venerable."
"Although Peng King Venerable might not be at the very forefront of strength among peak Coalescence Realm experts, his cultivation technique is very special."
"It is said that he can directly traverse the spiritual energy storm within the Spiritual Domain!"
"Although they did not say what they specifically intended to do, our proprietor still asked me to tell you that they are very likely going to contend for the opportunities within the Nascent Soul Tomb."
After glancing at Chen Yang, the waiter slowly withdrew.
Because he had already obtained what he wanted.
As soon as the waiter left, Chen Yang immediately took out the Peng Tian Art and the Peng Tian Movement Technique.
Ruan Dongjun knew about this, but Suoluha'er did not.
Chen Yang had only told Le Jin Lutu about it.
"What is this?" Suoluha'er asked in confusion.
"Didn't I tell you before that we were attacked by someone in the disordered space?" Ruan Dongjun's eyes were fixed on these two cultivation techniques.
Suoluha'er's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? Are you saying that person was Peng King Venerable?"
Chen Yang nodded in affirmation, "That fellow had his sights set on the bronze cauldron, but I managed to counter-kill him."
"I've looked at these two cultivation techniques several times before, and I don't feel anything special about them?"
"They can actually cross the spiritual energy storm?"
Suoluha'er was momentarily at a loss for words upon hearing this.
A peak Coalescence Realm expert died in Chen Yang's hands?
Moreover, Saint Moon Divine Venerable had set his sights on the Nascent Soul Tomb within the Spiritual Domain!
Chen Yang, having heard about the Nascent Soul Tomb, seemed completely unconcerned about it?
"I think, let's not study these two cultivation techniques for now. Even if they can cross the spiritual energy storm, it's impossible to master them in such a short time."
"As for the Nascent Soul Tomb... isn't the one from the Buddhist Kingdom going to send someone?"
