Because it was a time of war, families were broken up, wives were separated, and things happened all the time.
So when Xiao Chen came to the fourth floor, he found that there were more people on the fourth floor than on the first floor.
There are a total of twelve windows on the fourth floor, and there are long queues in front of eleven of them.
Many people left in a hurry after hearing the news they wanted.
Many people also found out the news they least wanted to hear, broke down and cried, and were asked to leave by the staff.
Xiao Chen skipped the eleven windows with long queues and walked to the last window with almost no one in line.
Inside the window, an old man with an extraordinary aura was half leaning on a chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he had an attitude of thinking highly of himself.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked: "Can I ask questions here? Why is there no one in line?"
"You can consult, as long as you can afford the price!" The old man didn't even open his eyes, still half leaning on the chair, humming a little tune.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he immediately understood.
Just like registering at a hospital on Earth, there are general outpatient clinics and specialist outpatient clinics. The charges for specialist outpatient clinics are much more expensive than ordinary outpatient clinics.
Generally, when you inquire about information, you cannot get an answer on the spot. You can only make a record first, and Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will send people to investigate afterwards. After finding the information, we will give you an answer.
This process is almost the same for everyone, and the procedures are also the same.
Unless you are in a hurry or have something urgent to do, who is willing to spend several times more money just to go to this window?
"I don't have any spiritual stones on me, can I use my magic weapon as collateral?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"Okay!" This time the old man opened his eyes, stared at Xiao Chen in surprise, and asked, "Do you really want to consult me?"
At first, he thought Xiao Chen didn't understand the rules and came to ask out of curiosity, but he wouldn't really come to him for consultation, so he just ignored it.
Looking at Xiao Chen's situation now, it seems that he didn't take the price that was several times more expensive, and his attitude immediately changed.
"Well, as long as I can get the information I need as soon as possible, reward is not a problem!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
When the old man heard this, he even showed a polite smile and said: "Then what magic weapon do you want to use as a mortgage? I'll explain in advance that the price here is three times more expensive than an ordinary window. If you want to use a magic weapon as a mortgage, at least it must be a high-grade magic weapon.
OK."
"Look at this!" Xiao Chen spread his palms flat, and with a flash of light, a white bone sword appeared.
This bone sword was once given to the Jade Xiao Clan by him, and was later given to the Wolf King by the traitor Du Tianxiu. Xiao Chen killed the Wolf King and recovered the bone sword.
"This is a high-grade spiritual weapon, I think it's enough?"
Xiao Chen placed the Bone Sword on the window.
In his spare time, he used Zimingyan to repair the Bone Saber, raising the level of the Bone Saber to a high-grade spiritual weapon.
A top-grade spiritual weapon is not a peerless treasure in the world of cultivation, but it is still very precious and rare.
Sure enough, when the old man at the window saw the bone sword, his eyes widened and he jumped up from his chair, holding the bone sword carefully.
"This...is this really a top-grade spiritual weapon? It has such an astonishing aura of death. Just touching it gives you a chilling feeling!"
The old man was going crazy.
Although the Bone Saber appears to be a magical weapon of the evil sect, in fact, in the world of cultivation, the distinction between good and evil is not so absolute, it is just a way of cultivation.
For example, the human race now has no distinction between the righteous way, the evil cult, and the demon sect. They are all united in resisting the demon race.
What's more, this is just a magic weapon, and its evil attributes will not affect its value.
"Are you sure you want to take this as collateral?" The old man stared at Xiao Chen with fiery eyes.
"This thing is of no use to me. Instead of shelving it, why not exchange it for something useful to me!" Xiao Chen replied firmly.
The Bone Sword has indeed no meaning to him.
"Okay, okay, what news do you want to inquire about?" the old man asked impatiently.
"This is my sister's message!" Xiao Chen took out a jade slip that had been made long ago and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the jade slip and the image of Xiao Yingxue immediately appeared in his mind. His age, height, features and the weapon in his hand were all clear and clear.
"This little girl..." The old man looked thoughtful.
"Have you seen it?" Xiao Chen's heart moved.
"No!" the old man shook his head and said, "It's impossible that we just happened to meet him by chance. I need to make a record and then send someone to search for it."
Xiao Chen asked: "How long will it take!"
"It's impossible to say for sure, it could be as little as one or two days, as long as three to five months, or even longer. But as long as she doesn't live alone, as long as she has had contact with the outside world, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to find information about her.
!" The old man said very confidently.
Xiao Chen frowned when he heard this.
With Xiao Yingxue's character, she might actually find a place to practice in seclusion without contact with the outside world.
As a result, it will be very difficult for Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to find her.
"My friend, I will send someone from the Chamber of Commerce to help you search as soon as possible. In addition, I recommend you to find someone, maybe she can help you!" the old man suddenly said.
"Oh? Who?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"The most talented woman in the world, Shangguan Mingyue!" The old man said with a hint of admiration in his tone.
"Is it her again?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder when he heard this name twice in a row and asked, "Is she very powerful?"
The old man smiled and said: "Little friend, let me tell you this, usually the number of people consulting us on the fourth floor is several times more than today. But since Shangguan Mingyue came to Yuancheng, more and more people have come to us for consultation.
The fewer people there are, the more people will go to Shangguan Mingyue for consultation."
"I have never seen Shangguan Mingyue, but it is rumored that she is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, ranging from astronomy and geography, ancient and modern history, to poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in everything. There are even rumors that she is good at divination and can know the past and the future.
, can read what people are thinking.”
"Haha, this is not a talented woman, but a witch, right?" Xiao Chen smiled, feeling a little more interested in Shangguan Mingyue.
"My little friend, don't believe it. If one person spreads it, it may be false, but if everyone spreads it, it's probably true." The old man sighed, "Actually, strictly speaking, she is still competing with our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
My opponent, the old man, also recommended her to you because of your high-grade spiritual weapon!"
"Okay, since I have nothing to do for the time being, I might as well go and have a look!" Xiao Chen had already made his decision.
Originally, he was unwilling to meet Shangguan Mingyue after hearing that the Sequoia girl said that Shangguan Mingyue was from Fengyue Kingdom, so as to avoid exposing his identity and causing unnecessary trouble.
But since Shangguan Mingyue is so powerful, he naturally wanted to meet her. Maybe he could really get news about Yingxue.
