ng Zhang read through many ssages in a row, gaining a general understanding of the black market's operation and trading thods.
After so thought, ng 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 ng Zhang began to flow on the light screen.
ng Zhang quietly waited for others to read the information and respond.
During the waiting ti, he absentmindedly clicked on the titles on the light screen, passing the ti by reading the contents.
ng 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 ng Zhang only planned to invest this much ti 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 ant 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 ti reading the light screen, ng Zhang was impressed by what he saw. Among these ssages, there were even tasks to hire cultivators to gather internal intelligence of various cultivation forces.
Ti passed slowly, and after about half an hour, ng Zhang received a reply to his ssage.
The response specified a ti for both parties to et in the black market.
Only then did ng Zhang leave the small room and head out.
Casually tossing twenty low-grade spirit stones to the old man outside, ng Zhang proceeded to the agreed-upon location.
The eting place was also located within the black market.
ng 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. ng Zhang walked to the other side of the long table.
"Call 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.
ng 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 refinent techniques, and alchemy, among others.
The three people before him clearly had profound attainnts in the art of disguise. Even a Foundation Building stage cultivator would have a hard ti 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, ng 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, ng Zhang still managed to gather so information about them.
During the ti when they were under ng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye, except for Jue Ying, who seed to sense sothing, 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 ng Zhang.
After so conversation, the three had no objections.
Under the supervision of the middleman of the black market, both parties reached an agreent.
ng 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 co 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 ti and place to et, ng Zhang and the three parted ways.
ng 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, ng Zhang went to the Firewell Market and browsed around, replenishing so 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 ng Zhang couldn't co here frequently.
After finishing shopping, ng 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, ng 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, ng Zhang t 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, ng 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 ng Zhang in the future. If they made any progress in monitoring Li Shengqi, Black Horse and the others would inform ng Zhang through ssage talismans.
After returning to his inn, ng 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. ng Zhang didn't need to spend additional spirit stones to cultivate.
During his cultivation, ng 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 sowhere to slack off.
In this half month, even though there were no gains from Li Shengqi's side, ng Zhang was fortunate enough to find an opportunity in the Ghost Market and earn so spirit stones.
This venture helped replenish his emptying pockets due to the considerable expenses of this operation.
However, ng 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.
