Medicine City's Little Bamboo House handles information trades differently from other places.
When Liang Yi, Zhou Zuixi, and Mr. Orange on their shoulders all simultaneously crushed the bamboo token floating in front of them, a whirlwind sensation accompanied by a mixing of space and time emerged from all directions.
They were familiar with this sensation; it was exactly the same as using the Transmission Array of the Immortal Dynasty. Liang Yi and Zhou Zuixi did not resist, silently allowing the force to take them somewhere.
By the time brightness returned to their vision, they found themselves standing amidst a boundless sea of bamboo. A gentle breeze swayed the bamboo leaves, bringing a natural fresh fragrance that enveloped them.
Involuntarily, Liang Yi and Zhou Zuixi took a deep breath and both felt a surge of refreshment, with much of their fatigue instantly dispelled.
This was surely a space created within them by the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo, where each person who comes to buy information would be transferred into a unique space, ensuring that, apart from Little Bamboo House, no one else knows which information you purchased.
This ensures a perfect secrecy. However, such a method could only be implemented here; elsewhere, even if spatial arrays were used, it wasn't possible to create so many spaces.
"Greetings from Feng Shuyi of Little Bamboo House, Medicine City, to the Prince of Immortal Dynasty, the Young Master of the Demon Clan, and the Chief of Taoist Sect!"
In the seemingly endless bamboo sea, an elderly man with kind eyes and green clothes sat cross-legged on a bamboo platform, his eyes closed, nodding with a smile towards Liang Yi, Zhou Zuixi, and Mr. Orange.
The elder appeared ordinary, yet Liang Yi keenly sensed that just by sitting there, the elder seemed to merge with the surrounding bamboo sea, undoubtedly a Great Cultivator of at least the Seventh Realm.
"Junior Liang Yi, pays respects to Senior Feng!" Liang Yi bowed to Feng Shuyi, the appropriate courtesy for a strong figure, and Zhou Zuixi did the same.
They were not surprised by their identities being revealed; presumably, Little Bamboo House knew as soon as they left Beidu for Medicine City.
"May I know what information brings the three of you here?" Despite his eyes seemingly closed, Liang Yi and Zhou Zuixi could clearly feel the elder's gaze upon them.
Mr. Orange felt nothing, being completely focused on searching for any bamboo shoots nearby. In such a vast bamboo sea, it would be absurd not to have any.
"Indeed, we three have come to purchase recent information on a Secret Realm," Liang Yi said directly, not beating around the bush.
"May I ask where the Secret Realm is located?" inquired Feng Shuyi.
Although the Little Bamboo House collects information about everything under heaven, sometimes without access to certain Secret Realms, they similarly remain ignorant of its specifics. Hence, if someone needs information on a Secret Realm, it is sought through location coordinates.
"East of Medicine Valley, approximately three thousand li away," Liang Yi pondered for a moment before providing a location.
"East of Medicine Valley, three thousand li, in the midst of mountains?" Feng Shuyi frowned slightly. That was very close to the borders of Medicine Valley. Was there a Secret Realm so nearby that Medicine Valley hadn't cleared out?
However, Feng Shuyi didn't ponder further. What information the customer needs, he finds, the rest does not concern him.
With this thought, Feng Shuyi stretched out his slender right hand and lightly beckoned to the surrounding bamboo sea, murmuring softly, "Come."
A breeze rose inexplicably, causing Liang Yi's garments to flutter as the surrounding bamboo sea rustled in response.
Hearing the sound of the wind through the bamboo leaves, Liang Yi's heart inexplicably calmed down significantly.
"It seems these bamboos are also quite extraordinary..." Liang Yi thought quietly, noting that both the fragrance and the rhythm emitted by the bamboo sea were extraordinarily harmonious.
"Hmm? Look there, meow," Mr. Orange, who was focused on searching for bamboo shoots, suddenly paused and pointed a paw at a cluster of bamboo leaves swaying in the air.
Liang Yi and Zhou Zuixi turned at the sound and saw a leaf blown down by the breeze, now dancing whimsically in the wind.
"This leaf..." After noticing the exceptional nature of the bamboo, Liang Yi naturally didn't think the leaf was ordinary.
Sure enough, even without any detectable Spiritual Power fluctuations, the floating bamboo leaf seemed divinely guided, landing straight into Feng Shuyi's palm.
"Let's see what special information is there," said Feng Shuyi softly.
As Feng Shuyi's words fell, light emerged from the leaf in his palm. As the light grew stronger, the bamboo leaf became increasingly crystal clear.
Once the glow peaked, the leaf burst with a "pop" sound, transforming into countless light points that merged into Feng Shuyi's forehead.
A few breaths later, the light around Feng Shuyi faded, and the cool wind also ceased without notice, restoring the bamboo sea to its initial tranquility.
Liang Yi and Zhou Zuixi exchanged glances, seeing the same astonishment in each other's eyes.
If a single bamboo leaf represented a piece of information, then the boundless bamboo sea and countless bamboo leaves around them, how much information might they represent?
"Can I say it's truly worthy of being Mystical Mechanism Continent's foremost information leader?" Liang Yi rubbed his temples. The information storage capacity of Little Bamboo House was just as overwhelming as the spiritual coins from Wind God Commerce, the Spiritual Medicines from Medicine Valley, and the Magical Treasures from the Refining Sect. One could speculate that even these powers themselves couldn't count their extent.
"Three thousand li east of Medicine Valley, there really is a Secret Realm," Feng Shuyi, after receiving all the information from that leaf, was surprised to find that there indeed existed a Secret Realm not dealt with by Medicine Valley.
The specific reasons were unknown to Little Bamboo House; only that Medicine Valley also was aware of the existence of this Secret Realm but had not dealt with it.
"Senior Feng, any results?" Seeing Feng Shuyi's expression, Liang Yi knew there must be some findings.
"There has been recent new information updated concerning that location," Feng Shuyi nodded, stretching out his hands, directly materializing three jade tubes and tossing them to Liang Yi and others.
"All the recorded information is inside these," he stated.
"Thank you, Senior," Liang Yi bowed in gratitude, and then along with Zhou Yuqing and Mr. Orange, plunged their Divine Sense into them.
The information inside the jade tubes was incredibly complex, with the earliest records dating from ten thousand years ago. However, these earliest pieces of information surprised Liang Yi; Medicine Valley indeed knew about this Secret Realm, but why hadn't it been dealt with?
"Could it be that a Blood Demon was discovered inside the Secret Realm?" Liang Yi speculated cluelessly.
Skipping over a great deal of useless informatie, Liang Yi directly jumped the timeline to three months earlier in this region. It was the first time there had been mention of a group of powers entering the Secret Realm secretly.
