Half a month later, Zhou Quan was able to obtain less and less intelligence, which made him very distressed. He was always frowning in the past few days.
After all, the less information he has, the fewer spirit stones he can earn.
Zhao Sheng didn't care at all about Zhou Quan's distress.
After staying in Quanxia City for a month, it was time for him to move out.
Deep underground in Quanxia City, there is no day or night, and no concept of the passage of time.
In order to calculate time, the light balls suspended in the dome will change in brightness according to the day and night changes outside.
On this day, as the ball of light gradually dimmed, the crystal on the dome emitted a star-like glow, and Quanxia City ushered in a new night.
Zhao Sheng, wearing a hooded robe, walked into the Kuaizai Building.
Kuaizai Tower is located in the most prosperous area of Jilefang, but it is not a place of enjoyment, but a famous media organization in Zhongzhou.
Rumor has it that Kuaizai Tower is an intelligence organization under the Haoran Sect, and its name comes from the word Kuaizai in the saying "A little bit of Haoran spirit, a thousand miles of Kuaizai wind!"
After entering Kuaizai Building, Zhao Sheng didn't see anyone, only an empty hall with eight gray wooden doors standing on both sides.
In the center of the hall is a curtain wall with four large characters "天地玄黄" (The Heaven and Earth Are Dark and Yellow) written on it.
Under each character, there is a wooden table with the words "ten thousand, thousand, hundred, ten" written on it.
Zhao Sheng walked to the word "Xuan" without hesitation, took out a medium-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table.
Buzz!
With a slight sound, the table flipped over instantly, the spirit stone disappeared, and was replaced by a bronze token.
When Zhao Sheng picked up the bronze token, the third wooden door on his left suddenly opened with a snap.
Zhao Sheng did not hesitate, took the token and walked into the wooden door.
After walking through a corridor, Zhao Sheng came to a narrow room.
The room was very simple, with only a wooden table and two chairs.
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat behind the table, silently waiting for guests to come in.
Zhao Sheng walked in and sat down.
"Sir, do you have any questions?" The middle-aged man was not good-looking, but his voice was unusually deep and magnetic, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Zhao Sheng said directly: "I want information about the Zhou family of the Great Yong Dynasty. The key is information about the Zhou family's Jindan ancestors and the foundation-building clan members."
"Are you asking about the one in Hongyangzhou?"
"good!"
"Well, the fee for information about the Jindan family usually starts at one thousand spirit stones. The specific price depends on the quality of the intelligence collected. Please wait three days before coming back."
"good!"
Later, Zhao Sheng left Kuaizai Building.
Three days passed in a flash!
Zhao Sheng came to Kuaizai Tower again and placed the token on the Xuanzi desk.
The table top flips over and the token disappears.
Bang!
The wooden door opened again and Zhao Sheng walked inside.
When I came to the room I was in last time, I saw the same middle-aged man.
As soon as this person opened his mouth, he told Zhao Sheng the bad news:
"Sir, I'm deeply sorry! The Zhou family has purchased a local-level confidentiality order from this building. For the next hundred years, this building will not sell any confidential information about the Zhou family."
After hearing this, Zhao Sheng frowned.
The confidentiality level of the local-level confidentiality order is extremely high. To break through its restrictions, at least heaven-level authority is required.
However, in Kuaizai Tower, heavenly-level authority is extremely difficult to obtain and cannot be obtained by simply spending spirit stones. At least the guest needs to be a first-class Jindan Zhenren.
Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and asked, "If confidential information is not acceptable, what about public information?"
"Well, the ones that are publicly available are one thousand spirit stones!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man pushed a thin booklet in front of Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng took out ten medium-grade spirit stones and laid them out on the table. Then he picked up the booklet and put it into his storage bag.
"Goodbye!"
"Welcome to visit us again next time!"

…
…
Zhao Sheng slowly flipped through the intelligence booklet in his hand, and the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.
As expected, the "public" intelligence is not only irrelevant, but also seriously lagging behind.
Zhao Sheng had already found out most of the contents, some of which were even ten times more detailed than in the booklet.
Take Zhou Yingze, the head of the Zhou family, for example. Zhao Sheng knew very well that this person had reached the great perfection of foundation building ten years ago. Although there was no specific information now, he might have successfully advanced to the golden elixir stage.
But then again, although the information from Kuaizai Tower is delayed, it is very accurate.
Most of the information recorded in the booklet was consistent with what he had learned.
An hour later, Zhao Sheng finished reading the intelligence booklet and secretly estimated the strength of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family currently has one ancestor in the late Jindan stage, and eighteen people with foundation-building combat power, including one in the great perfection of foundation-building, two in the late foundation-building stage, six in the middle foundation-building stage, nine in the early foundation-building stage, and those in the Qi Refining stage are negligible.
To sum up, there was only one sentence left in Zhao Sheng's mind: You can't defeat him by force, you can only defeat him with wits!
After opening his eyes, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but let out a breath of frustration, and his thoughts turned to Quanxia City.
The Zhou family's head of Quanxia City's industry is named Zhou Zhongyu. He has three spiritual roots and is at the second level of foundation building. He has a meticulous personality and enjoys wine but not sex...
Zhao Sheng pondered Zhou Zhongyu over and over again, and a plan slowly formed in his mind.
After making a plan, Zhao Sheng took Zhou Quan back to Xuantie City and settled him down first.
Then he summoned the Four Vajras and ordered them to collect as many kinds of spiritual wine as possible, including ordinary wine.
Although Chen Shaoang and others did not understand why their uncle gave such a strange order, they did not dare to neglect it and immediately gave the order.
Within a few days, hundreds of different kinds of wine and beverages were delivered to the inner courtyard of Fengyu Hall.
Then, Zhao Sheng ordered everyone to buy various medicinal herbs, spices, and even fruits, vegetables and other strange things.
This directly confused Chen Shaoang and others, and they had no idea what their uncle was going to do?
Zhao Sheng had no intention of explaining to them.
He stayed in the yard, never leaving the house, for three months.
Chen Shaoang and others tried several times but failed to get the point.
But every time they came, they could smell the aroma of wine in the yard, mixed with a hint of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy flavors.
Three months later, Zhao Sheng finally walked out of the yard.
Chen Shaoang heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and hurriedly reported to his uncle the affairs of Fengyu Hall in the past three months.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng nodded after listening to a few words, and told them to make their own decisions in the future. Don't disturb him unless it's important.
Two days later, Zhao Sheng left Xuantie City.
When he reappeared, he was already on the second floor of Xianxiufang in Quanxia City.
Zhao Sheng ordered a table of food.
After a while, special dishes such as the Demon Bear's Honey Claws, the Golden Marrow of Ten Birds, the Eight Treasures and Five-Colored Meat, and the Steamed Tiger and Leopard Tongue were served in a stream.
When the food was served, Zhao Sheng took out a white jade gourd the size of a palm.
