"Your Majesty, you also said that this information is related to the lives of the world. I wonder how we can confirm that what you have said is true."

Spirit stones were divided into four grades, low grade spirit stones and middle grade spirit stones. They were the most common currency used in the cultivation world.

Moreover, top grade spirit stones were extremely rare. Even if someone had one, they wouldn't take it out to exchange. It was usually something that had a price but no market, and could only be seen in large scale trade fairs.

The Crimson Core Lion Lord opened its mouth wide, asking for top quality spirit stones. One was not enough, and he even wanted five. What was the point in setting a threshold? Wasn't this making things difficult for others?

There was no need to talk about rogue cultivators. There was almost no one who could afford top grade spirit stones. Hearing the price of a Scarlet Pill, their hearts went cold.

Although most of the merchants still had a few top grade spirit stones, they were worried that Chi Dan would be infuriated and implicated, so they had long run away.

Some of the people present were also able to take out top quality spirit stones. In Jin Lei's eyes, Shentu Shun was worth far more than five top quality spirit stones. Even if he was only missing a few, he was still worth more than five top quality spirit stones.

However, regardless of whether Chi Dan knew about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, he wouldn't give out the spirit stone. The reason he asked Chi Dan was because he wanted to know if Chi Dan knew anything about Shen Tu Shun's whereabouts.

If Scarlet Pills were just a scam, then it would be fine. But if Scarlet Pills really knew about it, then he would have asked for the price just to let others buy it. He was a mantis stalking a cicada.

As for inquiring about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, he had a good plan in mind. He wanted to surpass the Scarlet Core and search for the source of the information by himself.

Jin Lei's idea was good, but he'd underestimated Chi Dan. Chi Dan was no fool. He understood that this was Jin Lei's source of information. Of course he wouldn't be fooled.

"Haha, you and the others can rest assured. Shentu Shun is related to the peaceful coexistence of the two races. This King would never dare to deceive the human race and disrupt the peaceful coexistence of the two races."

"You must want to know where Shentu Shun is from!"

"It's not that This King cannot inform you of the source of the information, it's just that you need to take out spirit stones and buy them."

Shentu Shun's whereabouts had been obtained from the Scarlet Core, but it was hard to determine his identity. The only way to determine his origin was through his own analysis. When he discovered that the Scarlet Core wasn't so easily deceived, Jin Lei had no choice but to follow its rhythm.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how many spirit stones are needed to purchase the source of this information?"

"It's fine. At least ten top quality spirit stones and the quota is still limited to five people. What do you think? Does anyone want to buy them?"

It was only five top quality spirit stones after finding out where Shentu Shun was, and ten top quality spirit stones after finding out where he was from. Wasn't this clearly a scam?

Jin Lei's little trick of guessing people's minds had long since been seen through. As a junior, he couldn't disgrace his senior, and Little Dan was also a scammer, so he didn't remind Little Dan.

The disciples of the sect all knew some tricks and techniques. After the Little Demon King's reminder, Huo Luan was no longer fooled. He did not want to waste time talking.

With no one reminding him, Little Dan was able to see through Jin Lei's tricks. He was also able to warn Jin Lei not to play any tricks. It wasn't surprising for Little Dan to be secretly amused behind Jin Lei's back.

Although Blessing was secretly amused, his expression betrayed his feelings. Jin Lei's face darkened in displeasure at the sight of Blessing.

"Your Highness, are you joking?"

Jin Lei had already spoken his warning, but Jin Lei still didn't know what was going on. Chi Dan could see that. Jin Lei was just a shitty stick, purposely messing with the water. Since that was the case, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.

"Young man, does This King seem to be joking?"

"We only want to confirm the authenticity of the news. We hope that Lord Demon King will not blame us!"

From Chi Dan's tone, it seemed as though he was angry at himself for not offering any Spirit Stones to buy them. Offending him wouldn't do anyone any good. Jin Lei had no choice but to make a symbolic confession.

"Young man, This King is magnanimous. Just don't blame me for it."

How could Chi Dan not blame them for not buying the news and causing trouble all the time? Although his words sounded good, he was actually praising the eighteen generations of women in the Gold Leidner Sect.

"Shentu Shun's sources involve someone else, and that person just so happens to know where Shentu Changsheng is right now, so he had to charge a few more spirit stones. Don't even mention saying that this king is intentionally making things difficult for you, this king is also in a very difficult position!"

What benefits could Shentu Changsheng bring to the people of the world if he were able to obtain Shentu Shun's position in the world?

To people who did not have any enmity with the Shentu Clan, Shentu Changsheng was just a topic of idle chatter with no value at all. He was definitely not willing to take out at least ten top quality spirit stones to buy information.

However, for those who had participated in the destruction of the Shentu Clan, as long as Shentu lived, it would directly affect their lives.

No one could be sure whether or not Shentu Changsheng's ancestors had left a technique for his descendants, but one thing was certain, that Shentu Changsheng, who had entered the Demon God's Sect, would definitely not fail and live an ordinary life.

The person who obtains Shentu's inheritance will rule the world, and it's just a rumor. No one can be sure if they can obtain Shentu Shun, then they will definitely become an immortal god, while Shentu Changsheng is still alive is an indisputable fact.

One day, the king would return, and those who had formed enmity with him would be struck with destruction. In order to eliminate all future troubles, those who had participated in the destruction of the Shentu Clan would be exterminated.

Shentu Changsheng's threat, and Shentu Shun's temptation, could all stimulate the hearts of people. Currently, Chi Dan was deliberately bringing up Shentu Changsheng, obviously to numb those people who had a grudge with the Shentu Family in the past.

Unfortunately, it did not know that Shentu Changsheng had always been from the Demon God's Sect. To the world, this was no longer a secret.

"Your Majesty, thirteen years ago, Shentu Changsheng was brought by the Sect Master of the Demon God's Sect, Zhong LiWentian, to the Demon God's Sect. Everyone in the world knows about this matter. I wonder what Your Majesty is thinking?"

In this world, there were two types of people that were hard to deceive. One was a cultivator, and had already cultivated to the Exquisite Realm. The other was a merchant.

There were no merchants amongst the ten or so people present. All of them had numb expressions. Although they hid it well, it was still not enough to cover up their disgust towards Chi Dan.

"What?"

"Why did this duke hear that Shentu Changsheng has already left the mountain to gain experience?"

As long as he could earn spirit stones, anyone would care about who he or she thought. Seeing that no one was fooled, Chi Dan first put on an astonished expression, then he seemed to be talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

Scarlet Core already knew Shentu Shentu's whereabouts, it was already shocking. He actually knew that Shentu Long had already descended the mountain.

Each of his words caused a thousand ripples that were even higher than the previous one.

Once a cultivator cultivated to a certain degree, they would almost certainly enter the world to gain experience. If Shentu Changsheng descended the mountain to gain experience, then it would also be within reason.

If Shentu Changsheng was still in the Demon God's Sect and had its protection, then of course, no one would dare to take action. Once he left the sect's protection, it would be a good opportunity to root him out.

For the cultivation world, this was a major event. There was no need for Jin Lei to ask Chi Dan about this; there was someone more anxious than Jin Lei.

"It's absolutely true. Un, yes, it can't be false!"

Seeing that there was someone who was very eager to know about the news of Shentu Changsheng, in order to not arouse suspicion, he repeatedly confirmed his words. It was as if he was convincing himself, and also like he was convincing someone else.

"Little Ci, do you know anything about the two brothers, Shentu Shun and Shentu Changsheng?"

From Huo Luan's expression just now, it was not hard to see that he also wanted to know Shentu Shun's whereabouts. When he asked about his companions, Chi Dan was worried that he would mess up the plan and destroy it.

"Stinky brat, he doesn't know. Even if he knows, he won't tell you. Don't ask too much!"

From beginning to end, the calmest person was only gifted by the heavens.

All this time, he had been following Fuyun, hoping to have three warm meals a day. He had almost no desires, and even if he knew the whereabouts of Shentu Shun, he wouldn't care.

Other than sympathy, there was nothing he could do about what had happened to the Shentu Clan. Even if he knew where Shentu Shentu Shun was, he would not sell off the remaining bloodline of the Shentu Clan for spirit stones.

Then again, he did not know the whereabouts of Shentu Changsheng and Shentu Shentu Shun, so he could only be very apologetic. At the same time, he could only be apologetic towards Huo Luan for her rude behavior.

"Brother Huo Luan, ignore it!"

He had originally thought that he would be able to find out Shentu Shun's whereabouts from the people close to the Demon King.

The plan had almost failed. Chi Dan was very unhappy, and when he saw the hope in everyone's eyes as they looked at their partner, he became even more unhappy.

"Why?"

"The two Shentu brothers aren't worth ten top grade spirit stones?"

If this news was true, then the news of the Shentu brothers wasn't limited to ten top quality spirit stones. It was precisely because they were worth ten that no one talked about them.

"Your Highness, the brothers Shentu and Shentu are indeed not limited to ten top quality spirit stones, but the price …"

The Monster King didn't have a human face, so it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad. The only way he could tell was by the tone of his voice. It sounded like he wasn't satisfied. Jin Lei had no choice but to take the lead again.

So it wasn't because the public was playing with him, but because he was worried that the price was too expensive and he couldn't pay it right now, so no one bid. After understanding the reason, Chi Dan was no longer as angry.

The news about Shentu Shun was not only worth five top quality spirit stones, but he couldn't give up. If he did, it would raise everyone's suspicions.

"Once the news gets out, it will definitely bring trouble to that person. This is also because This King is magnanimous and no longer charged any additional fees."

Five top quality spirit stones was already too much for almost everyone here, let alone ten top quality spirit stones.

Amongst the people present, only a portion of them were determined to obtain the news of Shentu Changsheng. Nearly everyone did not want to miss out on the news of Shentu Shun.

Helpless, he could only take a step back and give up on the source of information. He only wanted to buy Shentu Shun's information.

"Lord Monster King, can you guarantee that the news of us buying Shentu Shun is true?"

The original intent of the Scarlet Core was only to sell fake information, to swindle spirit stones out of a few so that it would be easier to cultivate. No one was fooled, so it had no choice but to lure out the two brothers, Shentu Shentu Shenjun and Shentu Changsheng, and lure passersby.

At this point, the goal had been achieved, and it was very satisfied.

"It's true! It's more true than real money!"

The news was not like that of a cabbage carrot. If it was bad, or if it was fake, they could ask their boss to return the goods.

"…"
