Chapter 185: Star Pavilion(2)
When she did, she immediately stood up and looked at Chu Wuyao, before motioning with her hand and walking towards the back of the shop.
"Customer, please follow me. I'll take you to the shopkeeper.", she said and her voice no longer casual but filled with respect.
Inwardly, the woman was still horrified, and couldn't help but wonder what Chu Wuyao's cultivation realm was.
Having worked at the Star Pavilion for a few years, she had met many cultivators before.
Although most of these cultivators were at the Qi Accumulation Realm, some of them had reached the Shackles Realm and could be considered immortals in the eyes of mortals.
Yet, from the previous aura of the flame, the woman judged that Chu Wuyao was stronger than any customer she had served before.
"I wonder who is stronger between this person and the shopkeeper.", she thought secretly and took a peek at Chu Wuyao from the corner of her eye.
She felt that this might be her opportunity to embark on cultivation.
"If I satisfy her, she might accept me as her disciple.", she thought and subconsciously clenched her fists.
The woman didn't know how lucky she was that Chu Wuyao didn't know her thoughts, otherwise, she would have been slapped to death.

A few minutes later, Chu Wuyao sat in a room at the back of the Star Pavilion, while an elderly man sat opposite her.
Even though the man looked old and frail, Chu Wuyao wouldn't be fooled by this man's appearance.
She could sense that this man had reached the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm, and most importantly, he possessed a powerful Magic Weapon, that had most likely reached the level of Divine Weapon.
Although she was quite surprised by this, she remained calm on the surface.
The old man, who didn't know that his deepest secret had been discovered by Chu Wuyao, had a smile on his face and he opened his mouth to speak:

"Fellow Taoist, this is the information about the previous battle between the major forces."
"Of course, this is only some more commonly known information. If you want to learn more, you'll have to pay a higher price."
"Moreover, since not much time has passed and the level of the information is quite high, there might be some small discrepancies.", he said, and while he was talking, he took a memory crystal out and placed it in front of Chu Wuyao.
However, despite what his words would suggest, the old man's voice was filled with confidence and even he didn't believe that there would be any issues with the information.
After all, the Star Pavilion was a force famous for its intelligence gathering and its entire business model was selling information.
The old man was certain that apart from the nine major forces, there was no other force in the Cultivation World that could compete with the Star Pavilion in the field of intelligence gathering.
Chu Wuyao noticed this confidence, but she didn't comment.
To her, it didn't matter who sold her this information and she only cared about its accuracy.
With this in mind, she nodded her head and waved her hand, and a dozen Magic Weapons appeared and landed in front of the old man.
These Magic Weapons were what she had obtained through the kind "donations" of her now-dead enemies, and they were the price for purchasing this information.
The old man's smile became even brighter when he saw this and he immediately picked up the Magic Weapons, wanting to take a closer look.
Seeing this, Chu Wuyao ignored his actions and her thoughts extended, entering the memory crystal.
The next moment, many pieces of information poured into her mind, all regarding the battle that had taken place just a few days ago.
"The leaders of the major forces fought fiercely and in the end, the Supreme Elder of the Sword Palace overpowered the other leaders and came out on top."
"However, before he could obtain the Fairy Token, the leaders of the Calamity Cult and the Great Compassion Religion showed up and blocked him."
"With the two of them working together, they managed to fight against the Supreme Elder and obtained the Fairy Token."
"According to rumors, the two people originally had trouble escaping with the token, but the Cult Leader of the Calamity Cult threatened to use the Calamity Book to destroy the world."
"Under his threat, the other leaders, who had been exhausted by the previous battle, could only choose to let the two go for the time being."
"Apart from the fight between the leaders of the major forces, the other fights are also quite fierce."
"All in all, most of the Shackles Realm cultivators were slaughtered, dozens of Awakening Realm cultivators died, and a handful of Supernatural Realm cultivators also fell."
Chu Wuyao went through this information, and she had trouble hiding her shock.
She had already known that the fight would be cruel, but she didn't expect that the situation would get so bad.
The old man on the side had finished examining the Magic Weapons and noticed her shock.
"I was also very shocked when I first learned this information. I almost thought that this was a prank."
"I was originally a little proud to have reached this realm, but now it seems that the Shackles Realm is nothing."
"Perhaps there are some differences between us and mortals, but the differences between us and those people is probably even larger.", he shook his head and sighed, seemingly emotional.
But soon, the old man's tone changed.
"Fellow Taoist, you've seen just how dangerous the world is. Only by increasing our strength can we increase our chances of surviving."
"A few days ago, I was informed that a supreme opportunity has appeared close to this place. It is said that it is the inheritance of an Awakening Realm cultivator."
Saying this, he leaned a little closer and stretched his hand.
"It's only going to cost you a few Magic Weapons."
