Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 364 Fellow Daoist Li, do you know about the Great Harmony Society?

The Nascent Soul cultivator passed away peacefully.

Li Ping disagreed.

Although a master who has formed a nascent soul can live for a thousand years, if they can find some treasures to prolong their life, they may be able to live even longer.

But unless one is an immortal, no matter how long one's lifespan is, it will eventually come to an end.

What truly concerned him was that the Grand Elder of the Thunderclap Sect, who had passed away, was not only a Nascent Soul cultivator but also a fourth-order alchemist.

He didn't care about spirit brewing or talisman-making skills.

However, advanced alchemy techniques are related to breakthroughs in his own cultivation level, so he absolutely must learn them.

However, fourth-order inheritances are extremely precious, serving as the foundation of a sect's existence. Outsiders are not allowed to learn them, and even a glance at one is considered a sin.

Therefore, it is virtually impossible for him to obtain any fourth-tier inheritance through legitimate channels.

But the passing of the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect gave him an opportunity.

If Li Ping could obtain the alchemy furnace he used during his lifetime, he would have the hope of using his unparalleled talent to reverse engineer and replicate the fourth-order alchemy skills he possessed.

However, Li Ping knew that this matter could not be rushed, and he could not directly investigate relevant information himself, or arrange for Meng Wanjun and others to do such things.

A Nascent Soul sect capable of cultivating a fourth-tier alchemist is not someone a Core Formation cultivator like him can afford to offend. If he were to take the initiative to inquire, he would easily attract hostile glances from the other party.

It must be handled with care.

After a moment's thought, Li Ping left the cave and headed towards Caibai Pavilion.

Since returning to the Immortal City, he had given Meng Wanjun all the unused materials, magical artifacts, and talismans from the storage bags of the Four Fiends of the East Sea and the Supreme Elder of the Mo Family, asking her to sell them at Caibai Pavilion. Due to the fair prices, they attracted a large number of cultivators to snap them up.

A year and a half later, Caibaixuan's customer traffic has increased significantly.

Chu Xiu and Chen Guang were extremely busy every day.

However, while there were many of these items, their quality was only so-so, so not many spirit stones were returned. Li Ping estimated that the total amount was less than 30,000 spirit stones.

It was nothing to him, but to low-level cultivators it was an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Therefore, he left all these spirit stones to Meng Wanjun for management, not giving Chu and Chen any opportunity to contact them, lest the two old cultivators be unable to resist fulfilling their lifelong trust.

Upon entering Caibaixuan, Li Ping found Meng Wanjun, who was diligently cultivating behind the shop.

Upon seeing Li Ping arrive, Meng Wanjun quickly stood up: "Young Master, what brings you here?"

After several years of experience, Meng Wanjun has matured considerably and is now a qualified businesswoman who is no longer easily deceived.

Li Ping nodded: "I have something to ask my two young friends, Chu and Chen."

"I see." Meng Wanjun quickly beckoned Chu Xiu and Chen Guang over.

The two were clearly somewhat reserved in front of Li Ping, a senior in the Core Formation stage, and both bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Senior."

Li Ping nodded, indicating that the two did not need to be so polite.

Although he was much older than the two of them, he could be considered an old monster in their eyes.

However, judging from their appearances, both of them looked very old, while he had the appearance of a handsome and dashing young man. The fact that the two of them bowed respectfully to him seemed a bit strange.

He asked casually, "The main reason I summoned you two here is because you've been in Lingxiao City for quite some time. Do you know of any reliable places within the city where you can gather information?"

"To gather information?" Upon hearing this, Chu and Chen both breathed a sigh of relief. (The title is a bit awkward, but it implies a desire for a better understanding of the world the author could create. The title is "Eternal Life Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.")

They thought they had done something wrong to displease Senior Li, which caused them a lot of worry.

After all, high-paying jobs like Cai Baixuan are hard to find.

After a moment of contemplation, the two exchanged a glance before Chu Xiu spoke first: "If you wish to gather legitimate information, you can go to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. This pavilion belongs to the Heavenly Mystery Sect and has branches throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition to selling various special magical artifacts of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, it also provides intelligence services."

"Official news?" Li Ping frowned slightly.

Chu Xiu quickly explained, "It was my fault for not being clear. I was referring mainly to the information that is publicly available. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has long-distance communication capabilities, which can gather intelligence from all over the Great Zhou and transmit it to other regions in a timely manner."

Li Ping nodded. He understood. What Tianji Pavilion was doing was actually similar to the television news media in his previous life.

The main selling point is timeliness; there aren't many secrets that others don't know about.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ping asked, "What if I want to find out some confidential information?"

This time, it was Chen Guang who answered Li Ping. He respectfully said, "If you want to find out such information, senior, you might be able to go to the black market. It is said that the Demonic Path's 'Shadow Assassination Tower' has an organization in the black market. It not only undertakes all kinds of assassination missions, but also sells all kinds of top-secret information to the outside world."

As he spoke, he also reminded Li Ping, "However, the rumors about Shadow Killing Tower are just things I heard from other people, and they may not be true."

Tianji Sect, Shadow Killing Tower.

These two sects are not only both Nascent Soul sects, but they are also among the strongest in the Nascent Soul sects, and can be described as very famous.

The Heavenly Mystery Sect needs no introduction; its greatest strength lies in crafting all kinds of magical treasures and artifacts. Special magical artifacts such as the Heavenly Mystery Mirror and the Heavenly Mystery Box all originated from this sect.

Shadow Assassins is the strongest assassin organization in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said that as long as you can afford the price, you can kill even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Given their characteristics, it's not surprising that they excel at intelligence work.

The only difference is that the Heavenly Mystery Sect, as a righteous sect, has its own principles and will not sell out all kinds of information.

As for Shadow Killer Tower, they'll sell any information as long as you're willing to pay the price.

In fact, if the buyer doesn't have the information they need, they'll leave a deposit and send someone to find out.

Of course, given the integrity of demonic cultivators, don't expect them to keep your intelligence-buying activities a secret.

The fact that "someone is paying a high price for information about the Thunder Sect" will also become one of the pieces of information they can sell.

"Black Market, Shadow Assassination Tower."

Li Ping ultimately decided to go to the Shadow Killing Tower. The information he needed to gather might not be available from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and the Shadow Killing Tower, with its ruthless methods, was more likely to satisfy his needs.

He stood up and was about to leave Caibaixuan when he looked up and saw two beautiful figures walk into the shop.

Upon seeing the two men's faces, Li Ping unconsciously frowned. He had no desire to have any further dealings with them, yet he unexpectedly ran into them at Caibai Pavilion.

He was about to pretend he hadn't seen it and leave.

When Wei Yiling saw Li Ping, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly and was replaced by a business-like smile. Her lips moved slightly, and her clear voice rang directly in Li Ping's ear.

"Fellow Daoist Li, have you ever heard of the Great Harmony Society?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping was taken aback; he felt like he had heard these words somewhere before.
