?Chapter 778: Chapter 344: First Entry into the Inner Sea_2 Chapter 778: Chapter 344: First Entry into the Inner Sea_2 After half a year, Lin Jing finally reached Yuhai City, one of the seven cities of Seven Seas Hall.
Then from Yuhai City, he took the Teleportation Array to get to Ninghai City.
Ninghai City.
In the southern part of the Inner Sea, not far from the Changyun Archipelago.
And the Changyun Archipelago is precisely where the Changyun Clan resides.
After arriving in Ninghai City, there was still a distance to the Changyun Archipelago, and Lin Jing’s next step was to head to the island closest to the Changyun Archipelago, Yue Yun Island.
Only after reaching Yue Yun Island would he truly be close to the Changyun Clan.
…
Although Ninghai City was bustling, Lin Jing was not going to stay long.
?????.?0
Here, Lin Jing still needed to gather some information.
After gathering the information, Lin Jing would leave.
Ninghai City was truly vast, and it took Lin Jing over an hour just to walk from the square where the Teleportation Array was located to the center of Ninghai City.
There was no choice; in these seven large sea cities, especially inside the Inner City, ordinary cultivators were not allowed to fly, and as it was Lin Jing’s first visit, naturally, his pace was much slower.
Upon reaching the center of Ninghai City, Lin Jing looked up and saw the tallest building.
Seven Seas Hall.
Among these seven sea cities, the most magnificent and impressive building naturally belonged to Seven Seas Hall.
This street, apart from Seven Seas Hall, also has various guilds and other powers that have set up shops.
For instance, the largest force in the Inner Sea, the Shocking Seas Alliance’s Shocking Seas Guild, and the Changyun Clan’s Changyun Pill Pavilion, both have a presence in these seven sea cities.
Of course.
Seven Seas Hall naturally welcomed various forces to develop in the seven sea cities.
With the presence of various powers, the development of Qihai City was greatly aided.
This was undoubtedly a win-win situation for both parties, and Seven Seas Hall welcomed it warmly.
It didn’t take long for Lin Jing to arrive at Seven Seas Hall.
Just like the Seven Seas Hall in Bihai City, the Seven Seas Hall in Ninghai City was also divided into two parts.
One part served as the main body of Seven Seas Hall, the Seven Seas Guild, selling various cultivation resources needed.
The other part, however, was the fundamental reason for Seven Seas Hall’s development into a top force, which was the Qi Hall belonging to Seven Seas Hall.
Lin Jing had come to visit Qi Hall, naturally.
After all, if he wanted to gather some information about the Changyun Clan, Qi Hall was undoubtedly the best place to go.
The Seven Seas Hall in Ninghai City was several notches higher than the one in Bihai City.
However, there were also quite a few cultivators inside.
After entering Qi Hall, guided by an attendant, Lin Jing came to a room on the fifth floor.
This place was used by Qi Hall for the buying and selling of information.
The information here, without mentioning those highly confidential pieces, included various news about different forces as well as some recent events.
All could be bought here.
When Lin Jing entered the room, he saw an old man sitting behind the counter.
Upon seeing Lin Jing’s arrival, the old man immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile:
“Esteemed Daoist, have you come to buy information or to sell?”
Lin Jing walked up to the counter and spoke directly:
“I would like to buy some information about the Changyun Clan.”
“The Changyun Clan…”
“That’s easy to say.”
“Our information is categorized by different levels, with correspondingly different details provided, and of course, different prices.”
“It’s just that I wonder which aspect of the Changyun Clan’s information you would like to buy?”
Lin Jing spoke:
“I heard that the Changyun Clan has recently accepted a son-in-law, and I want the detailed information on that matter.”
Hearing Lin Jing say this, the old man immediately understood.
After that.
The old man pondered for a moment before speaking again and asking Lin Jing:
“You want the most detailed kind, right?”
“Let me be upfront, the more detailed the information, the more expensive it will be.”
“And this information has been collected from various channels and verified events that have occurred, after verification.”
“Also, this information will not involve any true secrets of the Changyun Clan.
If, after reading the information, you find any discrepancies, we will not return the Spirit Stones that have been received.”
“I hope you understand this.”
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Of course.”
“In that case, I will get the part of the information concerning the Changyun Clan’s recruitment of a son-in-law for you.
Please wait a moment, Daoist.”
After speaking, the old man turned and walked towards the back room of the place.
Leaving Lin Jing to wait there.
As for why it’s essential to purchase information at Seven Seas Hall, the reason is actually quite straightforward.
Lin Jing was alone, and investigating on his own clearly wasn’t suitable.
Personal investigations might yield information of uncertain detail and reliability; whether it could be useful or not was another question.
Furthermore…
The location wasn’t very far from the Changyun Clan, and the clan was experiencing troubled times.
Carelessly probing for information about the Changyun Clan could potentially alert them.
Thus, even if one needed to gather information, it had to be done through other channels, not recklessly on one’s own.
Then there was the issue of time.
Now that he had reached the Inner Sea, he wasn’t far from the Chang Yun Archipelago.
Rather than waste time investigating himself, it was more convenient and faster to spend some Spirit Stones and directly purchase the information.
Moreover, the information obtained from Qi Hall was undeniably the most accurate.
The Elder’s words were just a precautionary reminder in advance.
Shortly.
The Elder walked out of the room.
In his hand, he held a wooden box.
When he returned, the Elder placed the wooden box on the counter in front of Lin Jing.
“The information you asked for is all inside here.”
“This information has been collected and compiled through various channels into the most detailed sort, although it doesn’t involve any secrets of the Changyun Clan or other powers.”
“As for the fee, it’s quite standard—just one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.”
One thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones weren’t cheap.
But this information concerned the Changyun Clan, one of the four top powers in the Inner Sea.
Therefore, although it didn’t touch upon the secrets of the Changyun Clan, the information wasn’t cheap either.
Lin Jing naturally understood this.
Before leaving, Lin Jing had over five hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones, but because he needed to rebuild Yue Tian Island and spent a lot, he left a portion for Li Qingqing and had two hundred thousand left.
Therefore,
these thousand Spirit Stones didn’t mean much to Lin Jing.
After that,
without a word, Lin Jing took one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones from his Space Ring and handed them over.
The Elder took the Spirit Stones and then handed the wooden box to Lin Jing.
“Fellow Daoist, it’s been a pleasure doing business.”
After saying this, the Elder’s tone shifted:
“Right…”
“Lastly, I must remind you that once you’ve bought this information, you can only peruse it once.”
“After perusal, the Jade Slip inside will self-destruct.”
Lin Jing nodded:
“I am already aware of this, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist.”
After speaking, Lin Jing took the wooden box and then said to the Elder:
“Farewell!”
With that, Lin Jing left the place.
Although he had purchased the information, Lin Jing wasn’t in a rush to check it immediately.
Now that he had the information, what Lin Jing needed to do was to leave Ninghai City first.
After leaving Ninghai City, he planned to review it.
Then.
Lin Jing didn’t delay and walked directly towards the outskirts of Ninghai.
Soon, Lin Jing left the Inner City.
Once he reached the Outer City, the management was relatively less strict compared to the Inner City.
Lin Jing accelerated his pace, quickly making his way out of Ninghai.
About four hours later, Lin Jing appeared in a sea area outside Ninghai.
At this time, Lin Jing was walking through the void, moving forward slowly.
His speed was not fast as he advanced while also looking down at the sea below.
Lin Jing seemed preoccupied, as if something was on his mind.
Shortly after, time passed for a while.
However, Lin Jing suddenly came to a stop:
“The time should be almost up, it’s about to come…”
As Lin Jing’s words fell, a pleasing voice transmitted from within Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness:
“Ding!”
