The girl's enthusiasm made Zhang Ling a little uneasy, and he quickly withdrew his hand. The girl named Lian'er didn't act like an outsider at all and raised her hand again, seeming to want to show off her charm.
But Zhang Ling took the initiative and with a flip of his hand, he held the red talisman in his hand.
The girl was stunned, quickly retracted her jade hand, and then her expression became respectful. She bowed to Zhang Ling and said, "So, Senior came for this. Lian'er was presumptuous, please come this way."
Zhang Ling followed the girl to an empty room on the second floor, then took out a white jade tablet the size of an inch and placed it on the table.
"Senior, this white jade tablet has instructions on how to use it. It can be used after midnight, and it will first display messages from other cultivators."
"Senior, if you want to post a message, you can also use this item. If there is nothing else, Lian'er will take her leave."
"You may go."
Zhang Ling glanced at the jade tablet and nodded. The girl left the room and gently closed the door behind her.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ling summoned the jade tablet on the table into his hand. The jade tablet was pure white, without any impurities, and had a few small characters engraved on it.
He concentrated and saw the words "Room 36, Second Floor" engraved on it, apparently the room number. Then he released his spiritual sense to examine the jade tablet, and a stream of information immediately entered his mind.
He closed his eyes and examined it for a while. When Zhang Ling opened his eyes again, he already knew how to use the jade tablet.
It turned out that this jade tablet was a specially refined jade slip, which could not only store information but also sense messages entered by others within a certain range.
When the time came, it would display the messages posted by others. Of course, he could also enter his own needs on it. This was a jade tablet for posting tasks.
After studying the use of the jade tablet, Zhang Ling began to examine the room he was in. The room was exquisitely decorated, with a large wooden bed and a brand-new set of bedding on it. It was obvious what it was for.
Zhang Ling shook his head and walked around the room. In the corner of the wooden bed, there was a small formation. Zhang Ling placed a spirit stone on it, and the formation was activated.
After testing it, it was just a very small protective formation, with no defensive power. It could only be used to guard against the exploration of cultivators' spiritual senses.
Zhang Ling sat at the table, waiting for the passage of time.
...
After midnight, there were fewer cultivators in the Snow Moon Tower, and the light inside dimmed. Although there were still some cultivators in the hall, they were accompanied by some women.
Most of these women were mortals, but there were also some women with cultivation. These female cultivators had very low cultivation bases, and very few of them exceeded the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
These female cultivators were not much different from mortals. Although they possessed spiritual roots, their aptitudes were very poor, and they often lived less comfortably than mortals.
The Snow Moon Tower cultivated these female cultivators to please male cultivators.
At this moment, Zhang Ling was in his room, checking the information on the jade tablet. As soon as midnight passed, some spiritual power flowed on the white jade tablet.
Zhang Ling probed his spiritual sense into it and saw a lot of messages.
"Seeking three-hundred-year-old Heavenly Wind Grass..., Room 5, Third Floor."
"Golden Iron Beast cub for sale, interested fellow cultivators are welcome. Room 12, Sixth Floor."
"Seeking news of the Three-Tailed Fox demon beast."
"Purchasing a piece of Iron Essence."
Messages appeared continuously on the jade tablet. Zhang Ling raised his hand and cast a magic spell on the jade tablet, then whispered a few words.
A flash of green light appeared on the jade tablet, and a message was added: "Purchasing White Jade Ganoderma, any age, seedlings are also acceptable. Room 36, Second Floor."
After Zhang Ling posted this message, he continued to check the messages of other cultivators. Some of these messages were like his, purchasing rare items. Some cultivators had rare items but would not sell them outside, so they would also post messages here.
Some people directly sold and bought news. This kind of transaction was the first time Zhang Ling had seen it, and he felt quite novel.
The information on the jade tablet was constantly increasing. In a short while, there were two or three hundred messages on it, and he also found some things he was interested in.
Then Zhang Ling also walked out of the room and walked towards the rooms behind these messages.
After more than an hour, when Zhang Ling returned to his room on the second floor, as soon as he entered the room, he saw three sound transmission talismans floating in the air.
Zhang Ling was not surprised by this. He grabbed the three sound transmission talismans and checked the messages inside.
Then his face lit up with joy. The messages on the three sound transmission talismans were all related to White Jade Ganoderma. Zhang Ling did not stay in the room and walked towards the room recorded in one of the sound transmission talismans.
Before long, Zhang Ling walked out of a room on the third floor, but his expression was not very good. The person in this room was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. Although his message was related to White Jade Ganoderma, he did not have any White Jade Ganoderma himself.
That person only knew that there were two White Jade Ganoderma growing in a place on White Cloud Peak, but there was a powerful fourth-order demon beast guarding them. This news was accidentally discovered by this person and a few others when they went to White Cloud Peak seven or eight days ago. This person also said that he was the only one who returned safely.
Zhang Ling finally spent one hundred spirit stones to exchange for the place where the White Jade Ganoderma grew. If he really couldn't find the White Jade Ganoderma in Azure Water City, having an accurate location would be a backup plan.
As for the authenticity of the news, the Snow Moon Tower did not guarantee it, and he could only judge it himself. However, the person who gave him the news was only in the late stage of Qi Refining, and he repeatedly confirmed it and even said some threatening words, so he thought the news would not be wrong.
Of course, that person couldn't guarantee that the White Jade Ganoderma was still there.
Then Zhang Ling went to the room corresponding to the second sound transmission talisman. Inside was a male cultivator in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. This person really had a White Jade Ganoderma, but it was only thirty years old, and this White Jade Ganoderma was not complete, missing the root system.
The Jade Bone Pill he wanted to refine required at least three hundred years of White Jade Ganoderma, so this thirty-year-old medicinal age was naturally not enough.
Zhang Ling was also helpless, and finally spent more than five hundred spirit stones to buy this kind of White Jade Ganoderma.
Although White Jade Ganoderma was precious, there were very few pills that could be refined with it, and there were generally requirements for the age of this kind of spiritual medicine. This was also the reason why this person still had White Jade Ganoderma in his hand.
If it was sold in the market, this incomplete thirty-year-old White Jade Ganoderma would probably not sell for two hundred spirit stones.
Zhang Ling then went to the room corresponding to the third sound transmission talisman. This was a room on the fifth floor of the Snow Moon Tower. The person inside was a female cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
This person had a hundred-year-old White Jade Ganoderma in her hand, and it was kept intact.
Zhang Ling stayed in this room for a quarter of an hour before leaving. When he left, the White Jade Ganoderma had successfully arrived in his hands.
