Chapter 604
Jiao Xiuyuan was genuinely intrigued this time.
News meant opportunities—potential breakthroughs.
He poured tremendous effort into infiltrating and persuading people, spending an incalculable amount of money. However, no cultivator was willing to disclose even a single detail.
Some subtly indicated that this matter was far more significant than anything else before.
"If any of this leaks, you might live to know it but not to enjoy its rewards."
Despite his reluctance, Jiao Xiuyuan had no choice but to abandon the endeavor.
With no results, there was naturally no response to send to Li Fan.
Yet, just as he was about to let the matter fade from his mind, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Not long after the end of the Great Battle in the Tianling Prefecture, a previously tight-lipped cultivator who had sworn to keep the secret suddenly contacted him in private.
