【At the bottom of the Pujiang River lies an iron box containing a treasure map from the previous dynasty, with the treasure location overseas......】
【Eight hours later, a meeting will take place at the Yuan'an Hotel in the western district of Magic City, with the purpose of transferring a five-hundred-year-old snow lotus obtained from the Tianshan Mountains in the northern region of Xia Country to Fusang Country......】
【Five thousand meters underground in the suburbs of Magic City......】
......
The gray mirror's surface rippled faintly, revealing one answer after another.
"A treasure map? And it's overseas?"
Su Yuan currently had no plans to travel abroad.
He would consider it when the opportunity arose later.
As for the treasure map? Su Yuan didn't intend to go diving in the middle of the Pujiang River either.
It wasn't because of danger, but simply unnecessary.
He could just directly ask the gray mirror what exactly the treasure map recorded.
Real treasure maps might suffer from damage, errors, and other issues, but the gray mirror was absolutely accurate.
"A five-hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus?"
Su Yuan's expression turned slightly serious.
Any ancient or aged medicinal herbs undergo qualitative transformation once they reach a century old.
Let alone five hundred years?
Moreover, ancient herbs like the Tianshan snow lotus were extremely rare, growing on the snow-covered Tianshan Mountains in the northern region, where the environment was far more hostile than even the Ten-Thousand-Mountain Range in the southern frontier.
In the Ten-Thousand-Mountain Range of the southern frontier, you only needed to deal with poisonous insects, snakes, ants, wild beasts, or other human experts.
But in the northern Tianshan Mountains, you faced the true wrath of nature itself.
"What use would this five-hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus be to me?"
Su Yuan immediately asked.
【The Tianshan snow lotus contains pure life force and soul force. When consumed correctly, it can promote evolution in three dimensions: body, soul, and potential. It is currently one of the best ancient herbs on this planet for assisting in the breakthrough to Level 1 lifeform......】
The gray mirror answered.
"One of the best ancient herbs for assisting breakthrough to Level 1 lifeform..."
Su Yuan's expression turned contemplative.
More than a week ago, he had learned from the gray mirror the detailed process information about his breakthrough to Level 1 lifeform.
This included external assistance methods like ancient herbs and powerful medicines that would be needed.
However, that was more than a week ago, based on the methods and information obtained according to Su Yuan's strength at that time.
Back then, Su Yuan's strength was still very, very weak, and he simply didn't have the capability to pursue better ancient herbs or powerful medicines.
"I want to know the detailed information about this meeting and the Tianshan snow lotus..."
Su Yuan looked at the gray mirror and asked.
Swoosh~ The gray mirror's surface rippled.
【Eight days ago, while a mountain climber was scaling the northern Tianshan Mountains, he accidentally discovered a five-hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus. The news quickly spread but was immediately sealed off by Xia Country's authorities】
【However, before the lockdown, a Fusang person who was also climbing Tianshan happened to learn about it. This Fusang person was a member of the Chizuru family from Fusang Country and immediately relayed the snow lotus information back to his family】
【The Chizuru family, aware of the Tianshan snow lotus's value, immediately used all means to retrieve that snow lotus before Xia Country's official investigation team arrived】
Characters appeared one after another on the gray mirror's surface, explaining the entire sequence of events from beginning to end.
"So they're thieves..."
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.
"What does the Chizuru family want this Tianshan snow lotus for?"
Su Yuan thought for a moment, then asked.
【The Chizuru family's strongest member, Chizuru Ichiyo, damaged his own foundation while breaking through to the Great Yin-Yang Master realm and needs the Tianshan snow lotus for healing...】
"Great Yin-Yang Master..."
Su Yuan's expression turned peculiar.
Fusang Country's Great Yin-Yang Master corresponded to Xia Country's Embracing Elixir Grandmaster, which was also Level 1 lifeform.
However, compared to Xia Country's Embracing Elixir Grandmasters who cultivated both body and soul dimensions,
Fusang Country's Great Yin-Yang Masters only cultivated the soul dimension.
Life evolution requires cultivating at least both body and soul.
Relying solely on the soul dimension, even if one can forcibly transform into a Level 1 lifeform, it would be full of hidden dangers, with foundation damage being among the milder consequences.
After pondering for a moment,
Su Yuan looked at the gray mirror and asked again: "Help me formulate a plan to safely obtain that Tianshan snow lotus without any hidden dangers or causing any commotion..."
That Tianshan snow lotus originally belonged to Xia Country anyway, so Su Yuan wasn't exactly seizing it by force.
Buzz~ The gray mirror's surface grew hazy, quickly revealing a plan that perfectly met Su Yuan's requirements.
......
One hour later.
Su Yuan left the Jinshan Villa District.
Thirty-three minutes later.
Su Yuan arrived in the western district of Magic City, only tens of meters away from the Yuan'an Hotel where the Fusang people would meet.
And Su Yuan had naturally changed his appearance, with narrow eyes and a cold, sinister aura.
Looking distantly at the Yuan'an Hotel, fifty-seven seconds later, Su Yuan strode over.
At this moment, there were no guests entering or leaving the Yuan'an Hotel, and the front desk staff had temporarily left to use the restroom.
As for the Yuan'an Hotel's surveillance? Su Yuan had already hacked and disabled it in advance.
Just like that, without anyone knowing, Su Yuan entered the Yuan'an Hotel.
After entering the Yuan'an Hotel, Su Yuan didn't take the elevator but used the stairwell to reach the hotel's sixth floor.
The Yuan'an Hotel was quite large in scale, with thirty-six rooms on each floor.
Su Yuan quickly scanned the area and silently entered room 6009.
Room 6009 was located in the corner of the sixth floor, with no other rooms on either side, resembling an independent suite.
Moreover, this room was very close to the elevator exit, visible immediately upon exiting the elevator.
Su Yuan hadn't checked into room 6009 because he knew it would remain vacant throughout the coming day.
"Now, it's just waiting."
Su Yuan thought silently to himself.
According to the plan provided by the gray mirror, more than six hours later, three members of the Chizuru family from Fusang Country would enter this hotel and stay in room 6006 on the sixth floor.
They would wait here for that Fusang person fleeing from the north, who carried the Tianshan snow lotus.
The fleeing Fusang person was being tracked by Xia Country's authorities, with identity information, physique, appearance, and voice quality all locked down, making it impossible to escape Xia Country.
Therefore, they could only hand over the Tianshan snow lotus to the three Chizuru family members here, who would then take the snow lotus back since their identities were clean.
This was the Chizuru family's scheme.
Inside room 6009, Su Yuan stood by the window, overlooking the scene outside.
Outside the window was a quiet street with sparse pedestrian traffic.
Time passed quickly.
Six hours and ten minutes went by in the blink of an eye.
Su Yuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
"They're here."
Su Yuan glanced at the time, faintly able to sense the slight vibration of elevator doors opening.
"Quite cautious."
Su Yuan smiled slightly.
He only felt the slight elevator vibration; as for footsteps? There were none. Clearly, the three Chizuru family members meeting here were extremely careful, not daring to make the slightest sound.
