Chapter 153: Someone Already Bought It?

The Purple Star Sacred Lord and the Heavenly Profound Sacred Lord exchanged a glance.

Both simultaneously produced Saint-level items and placed them before Li Yun.

"Mm."

Li Yun nodded. Two jade slips in his hand transformed into streaks of light, landing in their palms. At the same time, he spoke again, "The Sacred Purple Cloud Ganoderma and the Bodhi Sword Spirit Fruit. Two Great Saint-level spirit herbs. A single route costs three Saint-level items!"

"As for the Quasi-Emperor level spirit herbs, don't even think about it. The combined fortunes of the two wouldn't be enough to afford them."

"Hmm??"

The Purple Star Sacred Lord and the Heavenly Profound Sacred Lord had just received the jade slips and hadn't even had a chance to look at them before Li Yun's words sent a jolt through their hearts.

What's going on?

How could the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets have already said everything we were thinking before we even spoke?

"Senior, do you mean to say there are Quasi-Emperor-level spirit herbs in the Mystic Realm of Creation?" the Heavenly Profound Sacred Lord asked, his focus sharpening.

"There are."

Li Yun nodded, not denying it. It was a piece of information many could have guessed even if he hadn't said it. He continued, "But they are protected by formations. Without the method to break them, even a Saint would be walking to their death."

"Not to mention, those at the Saint realm and above cannot set foot in the Mystic Realm of Creation."

The Heavenly Profound Sacred Lord's expression turned grim.

If that was the case, it seemed the greatest opportunities in the Mystic Realm of Creation were things everyone could see, but no one could touch.

But that wasn't absolute.

Perhaps someone had already spent a vast amount of resources to purchase this information.

The two glanced at the contents of the jade slips, committed them to memory, and then looked at their own storage rings. They didn't have many Saint-level items.

After all, they were only at the Sacred Lord realm. While they possessed Saint-level items, they wouldn't have many.

And that was only thanks to their status as Sacred Lords.

An ordinary Sacred Lord-level figure wouldn't carry Saint-level items with them at all. Even a single bottle of Saint-level pills was an astronomical price.

"Senior."

The Purple Star Sacred Lord put away his jade slip and took a deep breath. He asked in a deep voice, "Dare I ask, Senior, has anyone else purchased the location of the Sacred Purple Cloud Ganoderma?"

"One Sacred Lord-level item!"

Li Yun raised a hand, holding up a single finger.

"Sacred Lord-level?"

The Purple Star Sacred Lord's face relaxed slightly, a sense of relief washing over him. He flipped his palm, and a bottle of Sacred Lord-level pills appeared, which he placed before Li Yun.

"Yes!"

Li Yun uttered a single word, waving his hand to collect the pills.

The Purple Star Sacred Lord's eye twitched. Money comes far too easily this way. A single word is worth a bottle of Sacred Lord-level pills?

At least tell me who it was!

He also wanted to buy the location of the Sacred Purple Cloud Ganoderma. For such a Great Saint-level spirit herb, what if the competitor was too powerful and he was unprepared?

If he knew who it was, he could make targeted arrangements.

As it was, with no clue, how was he supposed to prepare?

"Dare I ask, Pavilion Master..."

The Purple Star Sacred Lord took a deep breath. He produced another Sacred Lord-level item, presented it to Li Yun, and asked, "Who is the person or power that purchased this information?"

"The value is insufficient."

Li Yun glanced at it and said faintly.

For a single Sacred Lord-level item, if he were to sell out a major power, it wouldn't be a good deal, no matter how he looked at it. After all, the person who had bought the information was also a major client!

Did he, the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, have no principles?

Of course, if more money were added, that was a different matter.

"Er..."

The Purple Star Sacred Lord was stunned. He looked at the Sacred Lord-level item in his hand, his heart filled with a desire to weep, but he had no tears. If this value was insufficient, then how much was enough?

A Saint-level item?

He only had three Saint-level items on him!

He still had to buy the location of the Sacred Purple Cloud Ganoderma. After buying it, he would have no way of knowing who his opponent was. Conversely, if he found out who his opponent was, he wouldn't be able to afford the location of the Sacred Purple Cloud Ganoderma.

At this moment, he felt as if the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had him completely in his grasp. Perhaps even his entire fortune had been seen through.

"Senior, has the location of the Bodhi Sword Spirit Fruit also been purchased by someone else?" the Heavenly Profound Sacred Lord asked after a moment of silence.

Li Yun said nothing.

He simply extended a hand.

The Heavenly Profound Sacred Lord: "..."

A Sacred Lord-level item was delivered into Li Yun's hand. After accepting it, he nodded lightly and uttered a single word:

"Correct."

It was over.

In an instant, both men were stunned.

It seemed they had come too late.

All the information had been snatched up by someone else first.

In that case, should they still buy the location of this Great Saint-level spirit herb?

Buying secondhand information seemed like a bit of a loss.

Li Yun glanced at their thoughts, his heart skipping a beat. After a moment of thought, he said, "This Li can offer you a piece of free information."

He hadn't squeezed their fortunes dry yet. He couldn't let them leave just like that.

What if they didn't buy it?

Wouldn't he have lost out on six Saint-level items?

"What?"

The two came back to their senses at the same time and asked anxiously.

Li Yun swept his gaze over them and said softly, "The powers who obtained the locations of these two spirit herbs are also unaware that anyone else has purchased the same information."

"Hmm??"

Hearing this, both men's eyes lit up.

If that was the case...

It seemed there was still room to maneuver.

Everyone had the information, so who would ultimately succeed would depend on their own abilities. And since they had come late, at least they knew someone else had bought it.

But the ones who had come before might not know.

They might even think the information they held was exclusive!

There was an advantage to be had!

The two exchanged another glance and simultaneously waved their sleeves. Six items appeared before Li Yun.

Seeing this, a smile couldn't help but rise on Li Yun's lips. He tossed out two jade slips, which landed in their hands, and said, "This is the information you wanted."

"Thank you, Senior!"

The two put away the jade slips, stood up, and bowed in unison before taking their leave.
