Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Destiny-Chapter 450: High Price

“Do you have more detailed information?”

The middle-aged man spoke.

“Indeed!”

Zhang Xuan raised the document in his hand. “I guarantee it’s more detailed than yours! As long as you’re willing to buy the rights, you can do whatever you like with it afterward. I promise it’ll yield immense profits.”

“Interesting!”

Not expecting the other party to conduct business at this level, the middle-aged man’s eyes glimmered with intrigue. “Can I have a look first? I need to confirm you aren’t bluffing.”

“Naturally!”

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan casually tossed the content over.

The middle-aged man caught it and remarked, “Bold of you!”

He opened the document and glanced through it. His expression immediately turned grave.

The paper contained all the information they were selling, along with additional details they hadn’t previously known.

For instance, Elder Jiang Li of the Medicine Sect—his physical body was destroyed, with only his soul remaining. Elders Yao Yun and Yao Chen were slain by Prince Yuanqing and turned into pills!

What shocked him most was the section explaining that Zhang Xuan was being hunted not because he stole from Prince Yuanqing, but because the latter had forged a Peerless Divine Pill capable of condensing the Eternal Heart. To prevent the information from leaking, he intended to eliminate all witnesses present at the time.

“Eternal Heart…”

The middle-aged man swallowed hard.

As an elder of the Wanxiang Sect, he knew quite a bit about insider information. Based on what he knew before, there was no logical reason for Prince Yuanqing to go to such lengths to kill an obscure individual like Zhang Xuan.

Now everything made sense.

Although he couldn’t be entirely sure if the information was correct, analyzing it revealed a 90% chance of accuracy!

“What do you think of this information? Are you interested in purchasing it?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“I… cannot make the decision on my own right now. I need to discuss this with others. Please bear with me for a moment!”

The middle-aged man nodded and turned to leave through the rear door.

Zhang Xuan was unperturbed, settling into his seat with composure.

Before long, several figures hurriedly entered the room. This time, it wasn’t just the middle-aged man;he was accompanied by Lai Chengyi, the leader of this Wanxiang Sect branch, as well as Qi Tianming, who had been seen earlier.

The two immediately focused on Zhang Xuan, their brows furrowed. “Where did you obtain this information? Can you confirm its authenticity?”

“As for the source, you best not ask, as I won’t answer—not unless… you decide to kill me. As for its authenticity, I can guarantee it. There won’t be any mistake!”

Zhang Xuan replied calmly.

“Fine, we’ll buy this information. Name your price!”

Lai Chengyi gestured and asked, “How about 1,000 Contribution Points?”

Zhang Xuan froze for a moment.

1,000 Contribution Points were enough to elevate someone to Tier-2 Citizen status!

This rank of citizenship was comparable to being nearly ennobled. Not only in the outer city of Tianli, but even in the inner city, one could walk freely without obstacle.

Such a price for mere information…

He had undergone countless trials with experimental pills and only earned tens of Contribution Points in total!

Of course, though this price was exceedingly high, he was aware that the information itself was worth far more. He immediately responded, “2,000!”

“Deal!”

Without much hesitation, Lai Chengyi nodded. “How would you like the payment?”

Zhang Xuan nodded. “Convert all of it to Heavenly Mandate Vitality—the more, the better.”

Paying Contribution Points requires a token tied to one’s resident identity. Once checked, any supposed anonymity would be instantly exposed. Therefore, he’d rather receive Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

Since the private connection to Blue Cloud Venerable and Prince Yuanqing had been severed, he no longer had access to Heavenly Mandate Vitality, making it incredibly valuable to him.

“Very well!”

Lai Chengyi agreed. “While there isn’t a fixed conversion rate between Contribution Points and Destiny Plates, it’s widely accepted that 5,000 Destiny Plates can be exchanged for 1 Merit Point. For 2,000 Contribution Points, that amounts to 10 million Destiny Plates!”

“Fair.” Zhang Xuan nodded.

On the black market, 1 Contribution Point could buy 5,000—or even 6,000 to 7,000—Destiny Plates, but only in small quantities. At 2,000 points, the price would plummet.

After all, no one could amass such a colossal amount of Heavenly Mandate Vitality in a short time;it’s practically akin to a vast river.

This would require slaying a Pseudo Immortal cultivated over centuries to accumulate.

“It will take some time for us at the Wanxiang Sect to prepare this many Destiny Plates. Please wait…”

Once the terms were settled, Lai Chengyi immediately left to make arrangements.

The news about Prince Yuanqing possessing a Peerless Divine Pill capable of condensing the Eternal Heart was monumental. He had to report this to headquarters quickly;such decisions could not be made at his branch leader level.

He moved swiftly, soon arriving at the Sea of Moment, where he met Elder Gu You.

“I see now!”

After hearing the details regarding the Peerless Divine Pill, Elder Gu You’s expression cleared as he rose. “Wait here. I’ll inform my master of this news and seek his opinion.”

Lai Chengyi bowed respectfully, not daring to move, as Elder Gu You hurried off.

After the time it took to drink a tea, Elder Gu You returned, looking concerned.

“My master has analyzed this news and believes there is a 99% chance it’s true!”

Elder Gu You nodded.

“99%? So high?” Lai Chengyi was astounded.

Though he also felt the information was plausible, he didn’t dare to guarantee its accuracy. For Elder Ouyang Hai to assert it with a 99% likelihood was enough to consider it verified.

Elder Gu You explained, “Given the Medicine Sect’s covert collaborations with Prince Yuanqing to gather rare pills—which we had long suspected—they’ve been testing for years. We’ve already hypothesized their intent to create a Peerless Divine Pill. This only confirms it.”

Lai Chengyi realized the significance.

As the mainland’s largest information hub, Prince Yuanqing may evade many, but it would be impossible to elude their scrutiny.

After all, the ingredients required for forging a Peerless Divine Pill are so rare and challenging to find that it’s nearly impossible to keep hidden without leaving traces.

“What should we do now?” Lai Chengyi asked curiously.

Elder Gu You’s gaze sharpened. “Simple! Turn this into a tradable piece of information. Sell each share for 10,000 Contribution Points and only offer it to powerful clans. Those willing to buy may acquire it;those unwilling can leave it.”

“10,000 Contribution Points…”

Lai Chengyi was dumbfounded.

At first, he thought offering 2,000 Contribution Points for the information was extravagant;now he realized Elder Ouyang Hai was even more ruthless.

“Yes, my master said you’ll handle everything. If done well, you’ll be rewarded with a seat among the elder council during the year-end assessment!”

Elder Gu You spoke indifferently.

“Thank you, Elder Ouyang! Thank you for the support, Elder Gu You!”

Lai Chengyi flushed with excitement.

Currently equivalent to a branch manager, ascending to the elder council was akin to joining the board of directors—a meteoric rise. From resources to cultivation methods, such a change would be transformative, far surpassing his current station.

Breaking his moment of elation, Elder Gu You asked, “Who was the person who provided this information?”
