"Red Flame Guild, is it? Let's find a quieter place to talk," Yekaterina said to the bald man.
The middle-aged woman next to him showed a hint of disappointment on her face, but it was just disappointment.
After all, it was just a loss of business. If she dared to show a bad face, she might lose face or even her life.
Hearing this, the bald man immediately grinned, then fawned, rubbing his hands together and complimenting, "You have a good eye, sir. Please follow me."
After speaking, the bald man led the way, and the group quickly arrived at a tent.
The main buildings of this market were actually made of wood. It was not cost-effective to build proper houses in the Qingyun Mountains. Simple and affordable tents were the way to go.
After entering the tent, the bald man quickly asked someone to make two cups of coffee for them.
Yekaterina sat down gracefully and waited quietly for the bald man to speak.
"Should I start by introducing the basic situation of the secret realm?" the bald old man asked tentatively.
Yekaterina nodded.
The Yekaterina family's power in Qingyun City was only Marco and his family. Marco's family had always controlled the Ministry of Commerce in Qingyun City.
Although this department made money quickly, it actually had no status. At least, Marco's family couldn't interfere in many trainer matters.
This was also why Yekaterina came to the market to collect information.
"The secret realm of Qingyun Mountain is a medium-sized secret realm. The overlord of the secret realm is a Serperior at the peak of the Heavenly King level. The entire secret realm is about the same size as the southern region of Kyushu."
The bald man briefly described the situation of the Qingyun Mountain secret realm.
"Serperior?"
Lu Li was a little surprised, and then questioned, "Are there wild starter Pokémon inside the Qingyun Mountain secret realm?"
The bald man nodded, and then said in a matter-of-fact tone, "The overlord Pokémon of Qingyun Mountain is Serperior, of course it has a group, and there are quite a few of them."
"Peak Heavenly King level?"
Yekaterina frowned. A overlord Pokémon at the peak of the Heavenly King level, coupled with the overlord aura, even a Champion-level Pokémon might not be able to defeat Serperior in the secret realm.
This was not good news.
"Which aspect of the information do you two guests want? It's not that I'm bragging, but our Red Flame Guild has been working in the Qingyun Mountain secret realm for more than ten years, and the information we know is definitely ahead of everyone else," the bald man said confidently.
"Are there any Dragon-type Pokémon in the Qingyun Mountain secret realm?" Yekaterina asked.
"Yes."
The bald man nodded very affirmatively, and then explained, "Our people have seen Altaria and Noivern in the secret realm."
"What about Ice-type?"
Yekaterina asked again.
"There are relatively few Ice-type Pokémon in Qingyun Mountain. There are only some common and not very rare Ice-type Pokémon," the bald man replied.
Yekaterina had expected this result.
If someone had really discovered a Arctibax, it probably wouldn't be her turn to pick up this leak.
"I need the locations of all possible Ice-type Pokémon in the secret realm," Yekaterina said.
The bald man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he patted his chest and guaranteed, "No problem, give me 10 minutes."
After speaking, the bald man got up and left the tent, and then made a phone call outside the tent.
7 minutes later.
The bald man walked in with a tablet computer.
"This is where we marked the living areas of Ice-type Pokémon. This is definitely the most comprehensive, and each site has detailed information."
After speaking, the bald man respectfully handed the tablet computer to Yekaterina.
Yekaterina took the tablet computer and glanced at it, then nodded in satisfaction.
Yekaterina crossed her legs and said, "I'm very satisfied. Name a price."
"How about 600,000?" the bald man asked tentatively.
This price was definitely inflated, but Yekaterina didn't care about this small amount of money now.
Yekaterina nodded directly: "Okay, give me your account number."
Looking at Yekaterina's decisiveness, the bald man couldn't help but want to slap himself.
The price was too low...
Adhering to the mentality that not earning is a loss, the bald man said helplessly: "My card number is in the tablet computer."
Yekaterina nodded, and then sent a message.
A moment later, the bald man's flash payment treasure came to the account prompt sound.
After the transaction, the bald man did not forget to flatter: "You two, take care. If you want any transactions in the future, you can continue to look for our Red Flame Guild. We are definitely honest."
Yekaterina ignored him and left the market with Lu Li.
"Aren't we going to look around?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask.
Yekaterina shook her head: "Don't even think about finding a bargain in this ghost place. The people who set up stalls in this market are all veterans. They won't give you a chance to find a bargain."
Lu Li nodded. He felt that Yekaterina was right, but the bargain he wanted was different from the bargain that normal people wanted.
In the eyes of ordinary trainers, there are only things related to Pokémon, but as a cultivator with a hundred arts of immortality, what Lu Li needs is different from normal trainers.
"If you are really interested in this market, we can come out and look around again. Buying things into the secret realm now will only take up space in your backpack," Yekaterina advised again.
Lu Li didn't insist after hearing this. After all, it was the same to look around after coming out.
Lu Li looked at the map on the tablet computer and said, "But speaking of which, the locations marked on this map have obviously been visited. Isn't it a bit redundant for us to buy this?"
"The main purpose of this map is not to be used as a map. It's just a comparison. We don't need to go to the places marked on it," Yekaterina explained.
Lu Li suddenly understood, but thinking about it, it was normal.
These places have already been explored by humans. If there were really any Arctibax eggs left, people would have taken them away long ago. There would be no chance for Yekaterina.
"Let's go, we have a lot to do next," Yekaterina urged.
Lu Li couldn't help but ask, "Go straight into the secret realm?"
Yekaterina nodded and said, "Go into the secret realm first, and then we'll decide where to go."
After Yekaterina finished speaking, she released Dragonite. Since the Qingyun Mountain secret realm was not managed by anyone, its entrance looked very terrifying.
From a distance, the entrance of the secret realm looked like a scar carved on the world.
It was a huge space crack more than two hundred meters high and more than forty meters wide at its widest point.
"This..."
Lu Li looked at the space crack in surprise.
Looking at the surprised Lu Li, Yekaterina said, "Some people say that the entrance to the secret realm is the wound of our world."
"I think it makes sense," Lu Li nodded in agreement.
The crack did look like a scar.
Dragonite didn't stop and rushed straight into the huge crack.
With a change in front of him, Lu Li found that the sky had changed instantly.
It was clearly daytime outside, but in the blink of an eye it was dark.
"It's night in the secret realm now?"
Lu Li was also a little surprised.
"It's normal. In this kind of unmanaged secret realm, its time is very chaotic. Sometimes you stay here for a day, and maybe a year has passed outside," Yekaterina explained casually.
Compared to Lu Li, who didn't know anything, Yekaterina, who came from a prominent family, knew many things that ordinary people didn't know.
Just talking about the understanding of the secret realm, even the Heavenly King-level Yu Zhonggang was no match for Yekaterina.
Yekaterina said, "Let's find a place to rest first. The night in the secret realm is more dangerous than the night in the wild."
Lu Li nodded.
After Dragonite landed, Lu Li directly set up the tent on the spot.
Yekaterina also had rich field survival experience. The two of them set up the tent in less than a few minutes.
After letting Dragonite be responsible for guarding the night, Yekaterina began to study with the tablet computer.
Yekaterina's family was knowledgeable. As an Ice-type trainer, she could analyze which place would have hidden ice and snow fields through simple mountain trends.
In less than half an hour, Yekaterina marked six undiscovered ice and snow fields.
"Arctibax are cave-dwelling Pokémon. Our goal is the kind of underground ice world, and as a pseudo-legendary, Arctibax has high requirements for its living environment."
"If there were ice stone veins in the Qingyun Mountain secret realm, it would be great. Natural ice fields would definitely form in the underground caves near the ice stone veins."
"Arctibax likes to live in that kind of place the most, but there doesn't seem to be any ice stone in the Qingyun Mountain secret realm, so I have to look again..."
Listening to Yekaterina's analysis there.
Lu Li's back was already sweating coldly.
He found that Yekaterina's analysis was too correct. Except for the fact that the secret realm was different, the place Yekaterina analyzed could match the underground ice field in the Qingyun secret realm.
Fortunately, Yekaterina was not a local from the Kyushu region, otherwise the Arctibax's egg might really be found by this woman.
Feeling extremely fortunate at this moment, Lu Li only hoped that Yekaterina would never think about going to the Qingyun secret realm, otherwise it would really be exposed.
"Can you still find ice stone veins?" Lu Li asked pretending to be surprised.
Yekaterina glared at Lu Li speechlessly.
"What do you think?"
Looking at her expression, Lu Li knew that she didn't have that ability.
You can't do it, but it doesn't mean I can't!
"If it's just finding ice stone veins, I can help," Lu Li said with a smile.
When he discovered the water stone veins, Lu Li had specially studied the various evolution stone veins in this world.
In addition to the miner inheritance from the cultivation world, Lu Li did have the ability to find those hidden underground veins.
"You?"
Yekaterina looked at Lu Li in disbelief.
Lu Li didn't explain anything, but confidently took the tablet computer from Yekaterina's hand.
Lu Li frowned as he looked at the map on the tablet computer.
This map was very clear, like a satellite map.
But this was definitely not taken by a satellite. It should have been recorded by someone riding Pidgeot in the sky.
In less than half an hour, Lu Li identified more than a dozen places where veins might appear.
Of course, the real situation was that there were definitely not so many veins.
