Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 95: Three People

Meng Zhang read through many messages in a row, gaining a general understanding of the black market's operation and trading methods.

After some thought, Meng Zhang invested three low-grade spirit stones and began writing on the light screen.

Title: High-difficulty surveillance task, requires three professionals.

Content: Three professionals needed, skilled in infiltration, tracking, surveillance, and other abilities, with at least a mid-stage Refining Qi Cultivation Base, preferably not lower than the sixth level of Refining Qi.

Mission objective: Monitor a cultivator at the sixth level of Refining Qi. This cultivator is cunning and alert.

Additionally, the target is being monitored by other cultivators simultaneously. The entire surveillance process must not be detected by any other cultivators.

Hiring period: One month.

Hiring reward: One hundred low-grade spirit stones per person.

Note: If your strength and skills are inadequate, please refrain from bothering. In case of mission failure or exposure midway, a tenfold compensation of the hiring fee to the employer is required.

Once finished, the contents disappeared from the light screen. Then the title written by Meng Zhang began to flow on the light screen.

Meng Zhang quietly waited for others to read the information and respond.

During the waiting time, he absentmindedly clicked on the titles on the light screen, passing the time by reading the contents.

Meng Zhang had carefully considered what he had written. The reward of one hundred low-grade spirit stones per month could hire a cultivator at the Refining Qi late stage. Ordinary cultivators at the mid-stage of Refining Qi couldn't earn this many spirit stones.

As for hiring for only one month, it was because Meng Zhang only planned to invest this much time in this matter. If a month of tracking and surveillance yielded no results, he would have to give up. As a Sect Master, he couldn't stay away from his sect for too long.

As for the compensation terms, they were meant to drive away those without abilities and those who would just pretend to be competent. Only cultivators with true skills would dare to accept these compensation terms and earn the high reward of spirit stones.

Having spent a long time reading the light screen, Meng Zhang was impressed by what he saw. Among these messages, there were even tasks to hire cultivators to gather internal intelligence of various cultivation forces.

Time passed slowly, and after about half an hour, Meng Zhang received a reply to his message.

The response specified a time for both parties to meet in the black market.

Only then did Meng Zhang leave the small room and head out.

Casually tossing twenty low-grade spirit stones to the old man outside, Meng Zhang proceeded to the agreed-upon location.

The meeting place was also located within the black market.

Meng Zhang wandered around for a while before reaching a secluded building.

Inside the building, four people were already waiting.

In the center of the large room stood a long table. Three people stood in a row on one side of the table, and the middle position was occupied by the middleman of the black market. Meng Zhang walked to the other side of the long table.

"Call me Black Horse."

"I'm Grey Mouse."

"I am Jue Ying."

The three introduced themselves one by one.

Their appearances were all very ordinary, the kind that could easily blend into a crowd and not be recognized.

Meng Zhang knew that there was the art of disguise in the Cultivation World. Compared to disguises in the mortal world, the art of disguise in the Cultivation World was far more sophisticated and belonged to the more practical skills among the hundred arts of cultivation.

The art of disguise in the Cultivation World included various spells, illusions, body refinement techniques, and alchemy, among others.

The three people before him clearly had profound attainments in the art of disguise. Even a Foundation Building stage cultivator would have a hard time seeing through their disguises if they weren't careful.

The appearances they presented to the public, including their looks, body shape, height, voice, and even Cultivation Base, could all be entirely false.

After entering the building, Meng Zhang activated his Deception Breaking Eye out of habit and examined the three people on the other side of the table.

Although he didn't completely see through their disguises, Meng Zhang still managed to gather some information about them.

During the time when they were under Meng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye, except for Jue Ying, who seemed to sense something, the other two were clueless.

It was evident that the three of them knew each other and had probably cooperated before.

Black Horse directly represented the three and negotiated with Meng Zhang.

After some conversation, the three had no objections.

Under the supervision of the middleman of the black market, both parties reached an agreement.

Meng Zhang took out three hundred and thirty low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the middleman of the black market.

After completing the mission, the three would come to the middleman of the black market to receive their rewards. The extra thirty low-grade spirit stones were the commission for the black market's services.

After setting the time and place to meet, Meng Zhang and the three parted ways.

Meng Zhang continued to roam around the black market, but he didn't find anything of interest and left the place.

After leaving the black market, Meng Zhang went to the Firewell Market and browsed around, replenishing some essential items.

The Firewell Market was much busier than Singing Sand City, and it had a wide variety of goods. However, it was too far from Taiyi Sect, and Meng Zhang couldn't come here frequently.

After finishing shopping, Meng Zhang rode his Wind Chasing Horse back to Singing Sand City.

During the journey, there was no conversation, and upon returning to Singing Sand City, Meng Zhang found a lodging at an inn.

For the next month, he would stay in Singing Sand City to facilitate his next move.

During the two days in Singing Sand City, Meng Zhang met with Black Horse and the other two in the agreed-upon teahouse.

He provided detailed information about Li Shengqi, Li Nu, and the Zhao Family cultivator who was secretly monitoring them.

After briefing them about the mission, Meng Zhang left the teahouse. As for how to allocate their manpower and complete the task, that was Black Horse and the others' responsibility.

To maintain secrecy, they would try to avoid direct contact with Meng Zhang in the future. If they made any progress in monitoring Li Shengqi, Black Horse and the others would inform Meng Zhang through message talismans.

After returning to his inn, Meng Zhang devoted himself to cultivation.

He had paid a considerable price to book the courtyard for a month, but the spiritual aura here was not inferior to Taiyi Sect. Meng Zhang didn't need to spend additional spirit stones to cultivate.

During his cultivation, Meng Zhang occasionally wandered around Singing Sand City.

Half a month passed, and there was no news from Black Horse and the others.

If it weren't for their professional ethics, one might suspect they had disappeared somewhere to slack off.

In this half month, even though there were no gains from Li Shengqi's side, Meng Zhang was fortunate enough to find an opportunity in the Ghost Market and earn some spirit stones.

This venture helped replenish his emptying pockets due to the considerable expenses of this operation.

However, Meng Zhang still hoped that his good luck would turn towards the matter concerning Li Shengqi so that he could achieve results as soon as possible.
