Chapter 784: The Heavenly Secrets Tower

"A few pieces of information?"

Zhao Qian frowned slightly and signaled Jiao Ting with her eyes to withdraw.

Although Jiao Ting's cultivation level was high, he clearly had no place to speak now.

One must know that even if Ye Yuan sold only a single pill formula, it would be an astronomical price.

But Ye Yuan wanted nothing, only to buy a few pieces of information—this showed how precious those pieces of information were!

A first-rank holy land force like the Meteor Chamber of Commerce had branches all over the Divine Realm, so naturally their information was also very well-informed.

Thus, their business scope included not only things like pills and weapons but also information.

And the price of this information naturally varied according to the difficulty of obtaining it.

The information Ye Yuan was willing to forgo compensation to inquire about was certainly extremely rare.

"That's right, and you must swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you will never reveal the information I ask about today!" Ye Yuan said seriously.

Zhao Qian's expression turned solemn, knowing that this pill would not be easy to take.

However, Ye Yuan's pill was too important to the Meteor Chamber of Commerce. Without much hesitation, she quickly swore a Heavenly Dao oath, then said to Ye Yuan, "Ask away. If it's something I know, I can answer you now. If I don't know, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few days."

Ye Yuan nodded and asked, "I want information about the Medicine King Hall, the more detailed the better!"

Zhao Qian's gaze sharpened, and she couldn't help but size up Ye Yuan anew: "What is your relationship with the Medicine King Hall?"

"We are conducting a transaction now. I am asking you questions, not you asking me! According to your rules, only answer questions, don't ask them!"

At the mention of the Medicine King Hall, Ye Yuan's entire demeanor turned cold, and Zhao Qian beside him felt a chill run down her spine.

The Medicine King Hall had become a taboo in the Divine Realm, and most people kept their distance.

Now a mere Divine Travel realm cultivator was inquiring about the Medicine King Hall, which inevitably made Zhao Qian speculate about Ye Yuan's identity.

But Ye Yuan's words reminded Zhao Qian that no matter how strong her curiosity, she should not ask such questions.

This was a major taboo!

If it were someone else, they might even turn hostile on the spot and spread the word that the Meteor Chamber of Commerce did not abide by industry rules.

Zhao Qian composed herself, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "The Medicine King Hall underwent a drastic change over a decade ago. Father and son Ji both perished, and Ji Zhengyang's eldest disciple inherited the Medicine King Hall, becoming the new hall master. Since then, the Medicine King Hall has sealed off all information, expelled all external forces from the holy land, and almost completely isolated itself from the outside world."

Ye Yuan frowned upon hearing this: "So you're saying that the Meteor Chamber of Commerce knows nothing about the Medicine King Hall?"

Zhao Qian shook her head: "As you know, the Meteor Chamber of Commerce is only a first-rank holy land, not on the same level as the Medicine King Hall at all. With such a behemoth blocking all information, we have no way to infiltrate it. If you truly want to find out about the Medicine King Hall, I'm afraid only the Heavenly Secrets Tower has that capability. Now in the entire Divine Realm, apart from the Heavenly Secrets Tower, the Medicine King Hall is probably the most mysterious. Of course, we still know some peripheral information about the Medicine King Hall."

Ye Yuan fell silent. What Zhao Qian said was both within his expectations and beyond them.

What was within expectations was that the Meteor Chamber of Commerce probably couldn't obtain core information.

What was beyond expectations was that he didn't know why Ji Canglan had sealed off all information about the holy land.

Ji Canglan had successfully usurped the throne; he should be enjoying his glory and leisure, yet he chose a life of seclusion. What was he up to?

"Go on," Ye Yuan said suddenly.

Zhao Qian said, "The former hall master of the Medicine King Hall, Ji Zhengyang, and his son Ji Qingyun were both top-tier peak Alchemy Emperors of the era. Many Divine Kings in the Divine Realm had received their favors, including several of the Ten Great Divine Kings! After the father and son passed away, many Divine Kings came to demand an explanation. It is said that the Lingzhe Divine King personally went to find the new hall master Ji Canglan but turned back halfway. The specific reason is unknown."

"Second, after the father and son died, Ji Canglan did not exterminate everyone but released a group of people, said to be those closely related to the father and son. However, after these people came out, they also vanished without a trace. Our chamber later tried to find these people but found none. Of course, this is also because our Meteor Chamber of Commerce is too weak. I think the Heavenly Secrets Tower should be able to find them."

"Third, eight years ago, the Medicine King Hall destroyed several major forces. Of course, the most shocking event in the Divine Realm was that they wiped out the quasi-super holy land Blood Rain Holy Land, slaughtering all its Divine Kings, shocking the entire Divine Realm! After destroying these forces, the Medicine King Hall ceased all activity and never struck again. As for the reason for their actions, no one from the Medicine King Hall ever spoke of it, and no one dared to ask."

Ye Yuan's face turned grave!

Wiping out a quasi-super holy land with a wave of the hand—the Medicine King Hall in the post-Ji Zhengyang era had not weakened but grown stronger!

Ye Yuan could hardly imagine how Ji Canglan had managed that.

It seemed that killing Ji Canglan would be even harder than he had imagined!

"Do you know what Ji Canglan's current strength is?" Ye Yuan asked.

Zhao Qian shook her head: "Everyone who has seen him in action is dead! But it is certain that his strength now is far greater than before! There is a speculation in the Divine Realm that Ji Canglan's current strength is probably not inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings!"

The Ten Great Divine Kings were benchmark figures in the Divine Realm.

These Ten Great Divine Kings were not self-proclaimed but were designated by the most mysterious force in the Divine Realm, the Heavenly Secrets Tower.

When they first announced these ten titles, the Divine Realm was in an uproar and full of skepticism.

Many Divine Kings, unconvinced, went to challenge the Ten Great Divine Kings individually.

And the final results confirmed the power of the Heavenly Secrets Tower's intelligence system!

The status of these Ten Great Divine Kings was unshakable!

No matter how powerful their opponents were!

They proved their own strength and the might of the Heavenly Secrets Tower through countless victories!

The Heavenly Secrets Tower not only designated these Ten Great Divine Kings but also ranked them by strength.

Of course, no one truly knew who was stronger among the Ten Great Divine Kings.

They had never publicly compared themselves, and no one had ever disputed the ranking.

Over time, the prestige of the Ten Great Divine Kings was gradually accepted by everyone in the Divine Realm.

If Ji Canglan's strength was already comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings, that would be an extremely棘手 matter.

A powerhouse of that level was on an entirely different plane from ordinary Divine Kings.

Unless Ye Yuan could break through to the Divine King realm, it would be absolutely impossible to kill Ji Canglan!
