You call this the way of the sword?

"sure."

Yun Sheng immediately agreed, but inwardly she was thinking... Is that all?

You're going to use the prestige of a Pillar of State General to justify discounting?

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister Yun Sheng, you've been a great help."

Yang Qingfeng didn't ask any further questions about the discount, nor did he ever think about getting a big bargain.

In his view, it was fine to ask the mountain guard for money to his face, but it was wrong to ask Yun Sheng for money behind his back. This was no longer a task exchange, but a fraud under the guise of a pretext.

Using the identity of the mountain guardian to ask for a discount is already a clever trick.

As for who the mountain guardian was, Yang Qingfeng didn't care.

Based solely on Yun Sheng's casual remark of "Of course," he deduced that the mountain guardian's influence was effective here. If influence was effective, then the person must have a powerful background. The problem was that they were not familiar with each other, so no matter how powerful the person's background was, it was irrelevant to him.

During their conversation, Yun Sheng retrieved a manual on the art of insight and led Yang Qingfeng to a registration desk.

Since the new instance only opened today, most of the new cultivators were still struggling in the instance, and the person in charge of registration had not yet arrived. Yun Sheng sat down at the front of the table, took out a spirit pearl, and personally helped Yang Qingfeng register.

Then merge the communication rune and the insight spell.

During this time, nine-colored light flowed around.

Looking at the spirit pearl, Yang Qingfeng felt it resembled a Dao Seeking Stone. However, before he could think further, Yun Sheng skillfully prepared the necessary steps, instructing him to nourish it with his blood and qi. Subsequently, the spirit pearl vaporized and merged into his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into a divine talisman.

At this point, the Divine Seal is activated.

With Yun Sheng's help, the communication and insight functions have been integrated into the talisman.

Yang Qingfeng can contact Chang Maofu anytime he wants, and get all kinds of information without consuming any magic power, which is very convenient.

"I didn't expect that the Insight Technique would be applied to the seal."

Yang Qingfeng could clearly feel that his connection with Skynet had become closer, which he found quite strange, so he couldn't help but try it out.

He raised his hand and tapped lightly, and an invisible insight technique floated towards Yun Sheng. When it hit, Yun Sheng's information appeared before his eyes.

Name: Yun Sheng

[Cultivation: Concealment]

[Level: Hidden]

[Equipment: Cloud-Mirror Treasure Robe]

Upon seeing the equipment section, Yang Qingfeng had a sudden inspiration and looked at the sword in his hand, once again using his Insight skill.

[Yu Jun Sword: A rare artifact forged from meteorite iron from outer space, intended for appreciation only]

Not equipment?

No wonder there are no level restrictions.

Yang Qingfeng raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that the sword the gentleman possessed was somewhat strange.

Although the information provided by Tianwang was that it was a rare treasure for appreciation only, Yang Qingfeng knew in his heart that the Yu Jun Sword of his master was terrifyingly hard, and even Yongling's Butterfly Prison could not shatter it.

"Is it fun?"

Yun Sheng remained seated at the front of the stage, saying with great interest, "At first, when I saw you holding some rare treasures, and their level seemed a bit strange, I thought you were some spoiled brat from a wealthy family. But now, upon closer inspection, you're just a silly little boy."

"Foolish?" Yang Qingfeng was interrupted from his thoughts and looked puzzled.

Yun Sheng raised her hand and gently brushed her hair aside, smiling slightly. "Using Insight Technique on monsters is fine, but you should think twice before using it on people. Spying on other people's information is a very impolite thing to do."

Yang Qingfeng frowned immediately. Yun Sheng thought he was reflecting on his actions, but unexpectedly, he blurted out, "Senior Sister, do you not want to give me a discount anymore?"

"what?"

Yun Sheng was caught off guard by the attack and was stunned for a while before laughing and scolding, "You, Yang Qingfeng, are you treating me like family now? Looks like you're not stupid, you're just too shrewd."

As she spoke, she opened her divine talisman, rolled her eyes at Yang Qingfeng, and transferred a full 5000 silver coins to him.

The five thousand silver coins fell directly into Yang Qingfeng's cultivation space through the divine talisman, without causing even the slightest spatial fluctuation, which was quite miraculous.

However, Yang Qingfeng was thinking about something else entirely. He looked at the five thousand silver coins, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"Senior sister, this money isn't just from the discount, is it?"

Are you mocking me? Do you think I'm not paying enough?

Yun Sheng blinked her beautiful eyes and, seeing Yang Qingfeng's solemn expression, knew that wasn't the case.

She thought for a moment and said gently, "Of course not, someone left it for you."

Yang Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief; he knew what was going on without even thinking.

This was left to him by his master.

The gentleman was worried that he wouldn't have enough money to buy skill manuals, but he was also worried that giving too much would affect his cultivation. So he compromised and gave a few thousand silver coins, which can be described as just right in thinking of himself.

Yang Qingfeng naturally did not want to disappoint his teacher's expectations, so his relaxed mind immediately tensed up, and he asked Yun Sheng for information about the core area.

For example, where there are many monsters, where are the dungeons, where you can level up quickly and make money, etc.

Being stationed at the Void Mist Stronghold, Yun Sheng had contact with many newly recruited cultivators every year, so she naturally knew what Yang Qingfeng needed most. She answered Yang Qingfeng's questions without reservation, and also proposed subsequent trials to Yang Qingfeng in accordance with the rules of the military's special recruitment.

"If you want to make money... unless you can get some rare equipment, you can only sell materials or do bounty quests. How about this, the exchange happens to need some materials, you go get them, and we'll pay you a higher price, how about that?"

Yun Sheng could tell that Yang Qingfeng seemed to know nothing about the trial. She didn't know what the Pillar General was planning, so she simply launched the subsequent trial under the guise of the exchange, which was a sure way to avoid any mistakes.

Upon hearing about the high reward, Yang Qingfeng's eyes immediately lit up, and he was about to agree.

Yun Sheng chuckled as she reminded him, "High rewards always come with high risks. These materials can only drop from Nightmare-level dungeons, so they're not that easy to obtain."

Only then did Yang Qingfeng begin to have doubts.

Nightmare-level dungeon?

That's giving him far too much credit.

However, Senior Sister Yun Sheng has the protection of the mountain guardian, and with the master vouching for her, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The most important thing now is to upgrade and make money; everything else can wait.

"By the way, Senior Sister, which dungeon is the Little Demon King's jewelry in?"

After accepting the task from the exchange, Yang Qingfeng raised his final question.

Just as Yun Sheng was about to return the seal to Yang Qingfeng, she was taken aback by his words: "Little Ghost King's jewelry? How did you know?"

"That's what Senior Shoushan told me."

Yang Qingfeng said frankly, "My skills consume a lot of mana, so I need some equipment that can increase mana. Lord Shoushan sent me to find you, saying you would tell me where to get it."

Yun Sheng was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Yang Qingfeng said in surprise, "Because upgrading and making money are the most important things."

"You Teemo..." Yun Sheng was speechless and could only sigh and rub her forehead: "Alright, the Little Ghost King's jewelry isn't in the dungeon. There's a secret realm in the core area. I suggest you go when you're level 15, and you'll need to find a reliable team."

"Go ahead and level up. If you can't find a suitable team later, I'll help you find some."

Yang Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Is this secret realm really that difficult?"

Yun Sheng gave him a deep look and said truthfully, "That secret realm leads to another dimension and has special rules. Only cultivators below level 20 can enter, but the demons inside are all level 20. So the safest way is to find a level 19 team to take you."

Just as Yun Sheng finished speaking, a soft laugh came from the side: "Isn't this a coincidence? Miss Yun Sheng, we're also heading to the Ghost King's Secret Realm..."
