I Can Extract Everything

Anyway, from this conversation, he could be sure that the so-called ritual is very suspicious, especially the 'temple' part that Mu Chen had mentioned just now.

Although he still had a lot of questions to ask, he decided not to press it as all his doubts would be answered by the end of the month anyways.

For now, he could only wait patiently.

After Qin Yi finished playing with the children and watered the Willow Tree, he decided to leave the village early.

Furthermore, his investigation of Mu Mu's father hadn't progressed for a long time, so there was no point in staying in Green Willow Village any longer.

He still had a few hours left to go on his mission at Spirit Flower Peak, and since he had quite spare time, he decided to go to the city for extract- no, free shopping.

A bustling place like Ancient Dragon City was an ideal place for Qin Yi.

Apart from being able to obtain cultivation points, and various resources and treasures, he is also able to get a lot of information that was trending throughout the region.

However, Qin Yi pays special attention to information related to Mystic Beasts.

Ever since he had obtained Mystic Talent from the Void Cat, he had realized how remarkable this ability was. For instance one of the abilities of the talent 'Child of Void'— Void Jump.

That ability was convenient for him, and he relied a lot on it for transferring between sect and the city.

In sort, with that ability, he can move from place to place in less than five seconds. Of course, on the condition that they were places he had been to before.

Because of this, he wondered, wouldn't it be great if he could collect another Mystic Talent?

However, before that, he needed to find the Mystic Beast first.

Unfortunately, those Mystic Beasts were extremely rare, even nearly as rare as Divine Beasts.

However, that "almost" didn't mean that the Mystic Beast was extinct and uninformed. There might be some people in this city who know of their whereabouts.

Qin Yi heard that there is a special place for conducting information transactions in this city.

The place was called the Black Crow Tavern.

The Black Crow Tavern.

As he entered the tavern through the decorated wooden door, he was welcomed by a feeling of comfort and a sense of home. The bartender was extremely busy but still managed to fit him with a short wave.

Marble pillars supported the upper floor and oil lamps were attached to them. The walls were littered with so many different decorations that he was not sure if they tried going for a specific style at one time or just put up anything they liked. 

The tavern itself is packed. Locals and tourists seem to be the primary clientele here, which often means it is an excellent company. 

Several long tables are occupied by what seems to be entire groups, all enjoying the food, drinks and accompany each other. The other, smaller tables are also occupied by people who clearly enjoy each other's company, though they seem to be strangers who have met here. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company.

No matter how much you look at it, this place just looks like an ordinary tavern.

However, Qin Yi will not be fooled by the peaceful appearance that appears only on the surface because seemingly peaceful places usually hide many terrible secrets.

Besides, the people here are not actually drinkers and ordinary visitors but informants. 

Qin Yi saw that there was a table with an empty seat. He walked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white headband was sitting on the other seat. His face was also a little red.

Qin Yi looked at him and then spoke while being neither servile nor assertive.

"May I sit here?"

"Mnn~"

The middle-aged man didn't seem to care much about the arrival of other people at his table.

Qin Yi nodded and sat across from him.

He began to observe his surroundings.

He discovered that all the visitors here are cultivators. Moreover, their strength is not low and he can't even see the cultivation bases of some of the people here. 

They may be using artifacts or concealment arts like Qin Yi, or they may also be Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

However, in this place, they appeared laughing, talking, and drinking like they were equals. It's hard to judge whether they are Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

Then, he returned his attention to the middle-aged man in front of him. Qin Yi gave the order for the system to perform the extraction on him.

[Exraction completed!]

[Obtained 10 Cultivation Points]

[Obtained 530 Spirit Stones. Grade: Low Grade]

[Obtained 15 Qi Strengthening Pill. Grade: Rank 1]

...

[Obtained a cultivation technique — Fallen Leaves Secret Art. Grade: Human]

[Obtained a martial skill — Earth Shaker Palm. Grade: Human]

[Obtained a movement skill — Wind Assimilation Technique. Grade: Human]

...

[Obtained 10 talismans — Sound Transfer Talisman. Grade: Rank 1]

[Obtained...]

Well, it was just the average gain he used to get from other cultivators. If there's something to rejoice in, it's probably these Sound Transfer Talisman. 

After all, this was his first time getting this kind of talisman.

Sound Transfer Talismans were Rank 1 talismans that had the function of transferring sound over long distances, and they were handy for informers like this middle-aged man.

'If I extract everyone in this tavern, maybe I can collect more Sound Transfer Talisman?' Qin Yi suddenly started to fantasize about that moment.

"Do you want to sell or buy?"

At this moment, a voice left the middle-aged man's mouth. Qin Yi immediately regained his sense.

Just from this question, Qin Yi could immediately understand what "Buy" and "Sell" meant.

"Buy" means you are going to buy information.

"Sell" means you are going to sell the information.

"Buy." He answered without hesitation.

"Just so you know, every question you throw will be considered a "Buy," and the price depends on how valuable the information you get. So, I hope you consider carefully before you ask."

Qin Yi arched his eyebrows a little and responded coolly, "No problem~."

"So, what information do you want to know?" The middle-aged man asked.

"I wanted to know the whereabouts of Mystic Beasts."

The middle-aged man sobered up for a moment as he was a bit taken aback by his customer's question.

"Mystic Beasts? Their existence is extremely rare, although I have information on their whereabouts, its price were beyond your imagination."

Speaking of this, he slammed his glass liquor on the table as he wiped his flushed nose with his hand.

"Old man, don't talk about the price with me, it's an insult." Qin Yi said in complete disgust.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a second, and then his mouth twitched slightly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see this customer's expression. Otherwise, he would be able to see if this person was telling the truth or just bluffing.

He went silent for a moment before he finally opened his mouth again.

"In recent years, there have been a few reports related to Mystic Beasts. However, I cannot be one hundred percent certain that this information is authentic. However, fifty percent, this information is correct."

"Well, I would be greatly disappointed if the informants of the Black Crow Tavern collected false information." Qin Yi said emotionlessly.

"Of course, I personally despise doing things like that. It's just that the nature of that information is changing depending on the situation."

The middle-aged man explained again while shrugging his shoulders.

"The information I have about these Mystic Beasts is information from five years ago and it hasn't been updated until now. Therefore, for uncertain information like this, I'll give you half the price."

"Don't worry, even though I'm not the best informant in the region, I'm one of the best in this tavern. Therefore, that fifty percent credibility is highly probable information."

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment because of that uncertainty. However, for a second thought, it is better than nothing.

Hence, he asked: "How much?"

The middle-aged man at him with one eye and lifted five fingers from his right hand. He lightly stated, "5000 low-grade spirit stones."

"..."

Hearing this price, Qin Yi fell into silence as his palms clenched and trembled on the wooden table.

Seeing this customer's reaction, the middle-aged man couldn't help but cough and ask apprehensively.

"What's wrong? Is it too expensive for you? But you said that price is not a problem for you-"

"5000 low-grade spirit stones you say?" Qin Yi said tremblingly. He sounds irate.

"Hey, calm down!" 

The customer's overreaction slightly started the middle-aged man. He tried to calm him down with an awkward face: "That 5000 low-grade spirit stones was already a half-price but I can lessen-..."

"5000 low-grade spirit stones? When I heard the price "Beyond your imagination" from your mouth, I thought it cost more than hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones or so, but here you say it's only 5000 low-grade spirit stones? How can it be so cheap? I am so disappointed in you!"

"Huh?"

Never mind the middle-aged man. Even the people around the two of them were dumbfounded. They were all informants; they could still hear even the slightest voice in this place as this was their speciality.

They initially thought this person was angry because the middle-aged man's price was too high, but who would have thought....
