Fu Mingcheng invited Lu Yu to sit down and explained the current situation to him in detail.

The current situation is that previously Lu Yu provided Fu Mingcheng with equipment worth nearly a billion Points. Fu Mingcheng was responsible for selling them, receiving only a small portion as commission, but more importantly, he improved his reputation among players.

In fact, Fu Mingcheng's reputation among players significantly increased due to the equipment provided by Lu Yu; at least his fame spread among Qi Cultivation and Qi Mastery players.

The reason more advanced players did not pay attention to him is that the equipment Lu Yu gave him back then was relatively low-grade, and more advanced players couldn't use those items.

Originally, every once in a while, Fu Mingcheng would sell the equipment for Spirit Stones and pass them through the internal channels of Jianghu Tong to Lu Yu.

Each time, it was roughly 10,000 Spirit Stones, equivalent to 10 million Points.

If Lu Yu were to exchange the Points for Spirit Stones himself, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, so he chose Fu Mingcheng as his agent to handle these tasks.

As it turned out, he only received the money from one transaction so far, which was in Yunhai City.

Though there was also his personal reasons and the impact of the demon disaster making equipment hard to sell, after three months, all the equipment had been absorbed by Jianghu Tong.

However, this money still hasn't reached Lu Yu's hands.

It's not that Fu Mingcheng embezzled it, but the higher-ups at Jianghu Tong took it away under the pretext of a "loan".

Because of the demon disaster, players have increased demand for natural treasures and elixirs, while demand for equipment in the Divine Martial World decreased, making equipment hard to sell.

So Fu Mingcheng could only use Jianghu Tong's channels to distribute the equipment throughout the Divine Martial World, but while the items sold, the money was not recovered.

Fu Mingcheng's former superior, Zeng Wentao, used the excuse that the "owner" of the money hadn't come forward to claim it, hence it couldn't be handed over, to prevent him from embezzling it and damaging Jianghu Tong's reputation.

Since Lu Yu couldn't be found, Fu Mingcheng had no way to retrieve the money from Zeng Wentao, so he apologized in the message sent to Lu Yu.

"I've already contacted the higher-ups at Jianghu Tong, and since you've shown up in Beifeng City, they should transfer the money soon," Fu Mingcheng said to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu nodded. This matter was indeed not Fu Mingcheng's fault. He spoke: "I can wait for the money matter, but now I need to use Jianghu Tong's intelligence network. I want to know the Iron Tomb's strongholds and members in the Divine Martial World."

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingcheng was momentarily stunned. Seeing Lu Yu's serious expression, he understood that the Iron Tomb likely offended this financial powerhouse.

"Regarding the Iron Tomb intelligence, Jianghu Tong doesn't have much. After all, if we knew all the Iron Tomb members and strongholds, the players would have wiped them out already," Fu Mingcheng said somewhat helplessly.

"I have three Iron Tomb members. Jianghu Tong tracing from them to find other members and strongholds shouldn't be difficult," Lu Yu said.

Fu Mingcheng sighed and said, "If they are just ordinary members, they don't even know what goes on behind the scenes. They can't even recognize fellow Iron Tomb members on the street."

"Unless a member at Qi Mastery level or higher is found, but those Iron Tomb members have many life-preserving (self-destructive) items on them, making them hard to capture alive..."

"Three at the Sea of Qi level, with two at high stage," Lu Yu said calmly.

"Even if captured, they only know about some lower-level members of Iron Tomb... What? What did you just say?" Fu Mingcheng instinctively continued and then realized that Lu Yu mentioned capturing Sea of Qi level Iron Tomb members.

He was extremely shocked internally. Sea of Qi level was one thing, but there were even two at high stage. What kind of strength does this require?

Fu Mingcheng fell silent. Lu Yu asked, "Can you do it or not?"

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, absolutely! Within the Iron Tomb, high-stage Sea of Qi individuals definitely count as high-level personnel."

Even inside Jianghu Tong, there aren't many players at the high-stage Sea of Qi level. In most player factions, Sea of Qi level is already considered top-tier strength, with high-stage being capable of becoming a leader of a faction.

By acting as Lu Yu's agent for sales, Fu Mingcheng's status in Jianghu Tong greatly improved, nearly reaching a high-level position. After all, not just anyone can bring in cash flow of millions of gold to Jianghu Tong.

Unfortunately, his current position is already his limit; Jianghu Tong's higher-ups wouldn't allow others to rise and share their power and profits.

Even so, Fu Mingcheng could control most intelligence outlets of Jianghu Tong, thereby having the confidence to say those words to Lu Yu.

Beep beep beep~ Fu Mingcheng received a message notification and glanced casually at the source, realizing it was from Zeng Wentao.

He said to Lu Yu, "The upper management has already responded to this matter. I guess the money will be transferred to Beifeng City in the next few days."

"Please wait a moment; I'll check how they specifically arranged it," Fu Mingcheng said.

Lu Yu nodded, picked up the tea cup on the table to drink tea. After taking two sips, he noticed a peculiar expression on Fu Mingcheng's face.

Looking at the message in the chat box, Fu Mingcheng felt anger accumulating in his chest, unable to release it. He felt as if his lungs were about to explode!

Zeng Wentao refused to hand over the funds, with the reason being "Lu Yu is already dead and couldn't possibly appear in Beifeng City to claim the money."
