With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan didn't back down when he saw this and just looked back at them with a smile on his face.

After a long period of silence, the cloaked figure gave a nod and said, "We have determined that you can pay the price for this information, but…" He put the bag down on the table again and said, "This is just too much for it."

Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

He had expected the cloaked figure just to take the money even if it was too much, so when he actually said that it was too much, it caught him off guard.

After all, in these kinds of situations, if there was ever too much money paid, they would usually just take it as a sort of bribe. But this cloaked figure didn't do that and actually wanted to return the money.

He couldn't help looking at the cloaked figure with a strange look.

Was it because they were a good person or…was it professional integrity?

Still, whatever it was, it didn't matter to Lin Fan.

But he did indeed put too much in the little bag.

There was a single spirit stone in there.

This was the currency of cultivators, one that mortals normally wouldn't have the chance to see.

So for this information organization in the mortal world, it was considered a lot.

Lin Fan nodded and then said, "If you do well, you can consider it a tip."

The cloaked figure looked at Lin Fan in silence for a bit before giving a nod and saying, "We will need a day to gather the information."

Lin Fan nodded in response to this and stood up to leave.

When he reached the door, he remembered that it had been locked from the outside. But then he suddenly heard a clicking sound which he knew was the door being open.

He turned back to look at the cloaked figure, but that cloaked figure was just sitting there as if nothing had happened.

Lin Fan didn't mind this and turned to leave.

Once he was gone, there was another cloaked figure that appeared behind this cloaked figure.

As soon as that cloaked figure appeared, they fell to one knee and said, "Master, are you sure that we should be making a deal with that person? That person's aura…he clearly isn't a normal person."

The cloaked figure on the couch was silent for a bit before they said, "It doesn't matter who they are, we just treat them as customers."

The cloaked figure on the ground hesitated a bit, but they still said in the end, "But the Dragon Tongue Herb is…"

This time, there was a pressure that fell onto the cloaked figure on the ground when he said this and he couldn't help swallowing the rest of his words.

The cloaked figure on the couch gave a cold snort that sent a shiver down the spine of the cloaked figure on the ground, but they still didn't say anything.

It was only after a long period of silence that the cloaked figure on the couch said, "We don't take sides. As long as they come here, they are customers. Remember that or get out."

The cloaked figure on the ground immediately lowered their head and said in a terrified voice, "Master, please forgive me for my insolence."

The cloaked figure on the couch was silent for a bit before raising their hand to wave it, dismissing the cloaked figure on the ground.

As soon as they waved their hand, the cloaked figure on the ground immediately disappeared.

The cloaked figure on the couch just sat there silently before also disappearing.

As they disappeared, there was a voice that rang out like the mist, "I wonder how this will turn out."

…

The next morning, Lin Fan didn't get a chance to return to the bar before someone visited him.

Well…"visited" was a bit of a stretch since this person showed up in the middle of his room at the inn uninvited.

Lin Fan had just gotten up and was about to head out to breakfast when a cloaked figure suddenly appeared in his room.

He had pulled out his weapons and had gathered his spiritual energy when he suddenly recognized the cloak that this person was wearing.

It was the same cloak that the person at the bar had worn.

So this person had to be from the Night Eye Organization.

Before he could ask what this person wanted, they suddenly pulled out something from under their cloak and presented it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at it and saw that it was an envelope.

He took it from this person and before he could say anything, that person had disappeared from the room.

Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised by this since he couldn't find that person at all.

Adding in the fact that they had appeared out of nowhere, it was as if this person had been made of air.

It seemed like he couldn't underestimate this Night Eye Organization, it seemed like they had more tricks and backing than he thought. He even started thinking that it might have been a mistake to contact them and ask for their help.

But of course, it was too late to think that.

So he turned his attention to the envelope that he had been given.

When he opened it, he couldn't help revealing a surprised look.

That was because this was a list of all the places that the Dragon Tongue Herb had even been mentioned. It was a detailed list of all the interactions that had happened in connection to the Dragon Tongue Herb.

There were many things that were just small interactions of people asking about the Dragon Tongue Herb, but they were still included in this list.

However, at the very least, they had created separate lists based on what the interactions were.

So in the end, Lin Fan had a list of places that he wanted to visit.

This was a list of places where the Dragon Tongue Herb had been seen.

Lin Fan's mission from the fourth prince was to find the source of the Dragon Tongue Herb, so he would naturally look for the places that the Dragon Tongue Herb had been found.

If he was able to find someone that had Dragon Tongue Herb, he would be able to track them to their provider.

If he was able to find the provider from searching the places that the Dragon Tongue Herb had been, that would be even better.

So there was no downside from searching these places.

He trusted the information of the Night Eye Organization after the display that they had shown him.

He didn't doubt the power that they had in this Night Fang City.

It took him no time to arrive at the first location on the list, a pharmacy.

A pharmacy that did business in a place like Night Fang City, there was no doubt that it was filled with shady things.

Since the Dragon Tongue Herb was a poison, it made sense to look in a place that was filled with poisons.

After arriving, Lin Fan found that this place was quite crowded even though it was just a pharmacy. However, every single customer here had their face covered and were quickly buying things before leaving.

He was the only one that went up to the counter and waited for one of the staff members to talk to.

Seeing him there, the staff member eventually came over and asked, "Can I help you with something?"

Lin Fan nodded before saying, "Do you have any Dragon Tongue Herbs?"

The staff member was surprised to hear this, but then he shook his head and said, "We don't have any of that in stock right now."

Lin Fan didn't mind this and asked, "Do you know where I can get some?"

When the staff member heard this, he couldn't help knitting his brows.

Asking for a supplier was something that was considered rude in this kind of business and even if this person wasn't in the business, he should know that one shouldn't ask for suppliers. Especially when it came to a pharmacy like theirs in a place like Night Fang City.

There was no doubt that many of the things that they did here was considered…illegal in other parts.

However, even though he made it clear that he wasn't happy with Lin Fan's question with his expression, Lin Fan didn't back down.

Lin Fan instead took out a small bag and placed it on the counter in front of him.

The staff member was surprised to see this, but when he took the bag and saw what was inside, he couldn't help being shocked.

That was because there was a spirit stone inside that small bag.

The staff member couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a shocked look, but Lin Fan just calmly looked back at him.

Still, in the end, the staff member said, "We don't know when we'll be getting our next shipment of Dragon Tongue Herb. It is something that is only given to us from time to time by a special supplier that comes when they come, so it is not something that we control."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this before he dropped another bag on the table.

The staff member shook his head when he saw this and said, "Sir, that won't change a thing. We don't have a way to contact our supplier."

He didn't take it this time since he knew that someone who could take out two spirit stones like this so casually definitely wasn't normal.

He knew that it was not someone that he could offend.
