Chapter 1763: Chapter 1783: Million-Dollar Reward_1

"Sir, the Soul Separation Sect has always been mysterious, and its disciples traveling around the world are uncommon. Therefore, our association has no information about the exact location of the Soul Separation Sect. We are unable to assist in this matter,"

The clerk smiled, "However, we can help you initiate a reward mission to collect information about the Soul Separation Sect."

Even the Adventurers’ Association didn’t know the location of the Soul Separation Sect. This truly underscored its mysterious nature.

Lin Chen smiled, "Okay."

The clerk smiled, "How many spirit stones are you willing to offer as a reward for finding information about the Soul Separation Sect?"

Lin Chen looked at the wall and casually asked, "The higher the reward, the more conspicuous it gets on the mission wall, doesn’t it?"

The clerk replied, "Yes, if the reward for a mission reaches a certain amount, we will use the Teleportation Array Method to send the task to other branch associations of the Adventurers’ Association. This will help collect information more efficiently. However, in addition to paying the agreed reward to the informant, you will also have to pay us a 20% handling fee."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Are there many branches of your association? Can they cover the entire continent?"

The clerk smiled and took out a map, "Sir, have a look. This is a map of the entire continent, and these are the locations of our branches. Although we don’t cover the entire continent, we fully cover all the important areas where humans reside."

Lin Chen had already looked at the map before. In the Dragon Spirit Continent, humans occupy about two-thirds of the territory, and the Dragon Clan occupies one-third. This was not because the Dragon Clan was weaker than the humans, but because their numbers were significantly fewer.

The dominance of humans in the Immortal Domain wasn’t due to the exceptional cultivation ability of humans but because they had a stronger reproductive capacity and a much greater population!

The advantages of the demon race bloodline were very clear. For example, the Golden Winged Roc possessed the strength comparable to a human immortal right from birth, something humans couldn’t match. However, the number of Golden Winged Rocs was very limited.

Apart from their numerical advantage, humans also possessed the most balanced bodies. Although they start off weak in cultivation, they lay solid foundations step by step, offering infinite possibilities. On the other hand, the demon race often faced restrictions due to their bloodline, only able to reach a certain peak and finding it hard to break through. This could be seen as both a boon and bane of their bloodline.

Even though the Dragon Clan population was much smaller than the humans, they managed to occupy one-third of the continent, reflecting their strength.

Lin Chen decisively asked, "What is the amount needed to ensure that the mission is sent to all your branches?"

The clerk responded, "Ten Million Spirit Stones, with a handling fee of 2 million."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Okay, but I hope my identity remains confidential. I don’t want to attract trouble."

The clerk smiled, "Keeping our clients’ secrets is our duty."

Lin Chen nodded, then remembered something, "There should be a time limit on this, right?"

The clerk nodded, "Usually, tasks have time limits. Of course, if the client requests, we can keep the reward open until the task is completed, but an additional handling fee is required."

Lin Chen nodded, "I can’t wait here forever. Since your branches cover the entire human area, the message delivery should be fast. Let’s keep it open for half a month. I will wait here for half a month. If there’s no answer by then, it means this path is not viable, and I will think of another way."

"No problem."

Lin Chen promptly paid the handling fee of Two Million Spirit Stones. Soon, the reward mission was displayed at the top and most conspicuous position on the blackboard.

The reward of Ten Million Spirit Stones just for a piece of information was indeed very high.

"Wow, Ten Million Spirit Stones to find the Soul Separation Sect, that’s quite generous."

"Soul Separation Sect has always been incredibly mysterious. Even their disciples who travel outside often hide their identities. Finding the Soul Separation Sect won’t be easy!"

"Why would someone be searching for the Soul Separation Sect? Could they be enemies of the sect?"

"Too bad I don’t know where the Soul Separation Sect is, or else these Ten Million Spirit Stones would be such an easy score!"

"What do you think would be the reaction of the Soul Separation Sect disciples if they saw this reward?"

"Selling themselves out? Haha, why not? After all, Ten Million Spirit Stones is not a small sum. If this person harbors no ill intentions towards the Soul Separation Sect, it should not be a problem."

Lin Chen quietly left the Adventurers’ Association, now carrying a Messaging Stone.

If the Adventurers’ Association found exact information about the Soul Separation Sect, they would notify Lin Chen through the Messaging Stone. This way, Lin Chen didn’t need to stay all the time in the Adventurers’ Association.

Lin Chen found an inn in the city and rented a room. During the day, he would stroll around the city and chat with people.

Lin Chen always displayed contempt for closed-door cultivation. Whenever he arrived in a new place, he liked to get to know it because each continent was entirely different.

Lin Chen initially thought that the Soul Separation Sect, being a cultivation sect, must have had some contact with others and that a reward of Ten Million Spirit Stones should be enough to persuade someone to surreptitiously sell information. However, several days had passed without any news.

Lin Chen was taken aback.

The Soul Separation Sect was extremely mysterious. Could it be that no one had ever dealt with them?
