Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan just glanced around and saw clearly the situation in the store. The store was not big and there were no customers in the store at this time.

There was only one waiter in the store. He was looking out the door boredly. When he saw a customer coming in, he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face.

Li Yan just nodded and began to look around carefully.

There are three shelves against the back wall of the store, with some monster beast furs, bones and other items placed in different categories.

There are also some items such as spiritual weapons and talismans that do not seem to be of high level.

In front of the shelf is a long crystal cabinet, and through the hazy light, you can see what's underneath.

They were just some yellowed blank jade slips, dozens of sample herbal medicines, and some small porcelain bottles that should be holding elixirs.

The entire store gave people a very ordinary look, which was similar to some private shops that Li Yan had seen before.

"It's so simple. It's so different from the big shops like 'Gui Gu Lai Xi'!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yan instantly thought of "Return to Come" and the incomparable beauty Su Hong.

In this battle with the demons, he did not see Su Hong, and he did not know whether the monks in shops like "Gui Gu Lai Xi" would be recruited.

Li Yan's thoughts wandered for a moment.

"Sir, I wonder what you need?"

The voice of the store clerk brought Li Yan back to reality. The clerk in the store was a handsome mortal from the White Demon Tribe, who was looking at Li Yan with a bright smile.

It has to be said that the White Demons are really born beauties. This sentence can even be applied to men. Just this smile can make Li Yan feel happy in his heart.

Li Yan had seen this situation before in other shops, but now he felt like a spring breeze.

"If we can take a few White Demons to the Desolate Moon Continent and sell them to 'Gui Qu Lai Xi' as their assistants, we can probably make a fortune."

Li Yan had such a ridiculous idea for a moment, but then he stopped thinking about it.

He had been outside for a long time and had been inquiring about the news about Baidao Tianbao Pavilion. Therefore, he had some understanding of this place before coming in.

When those people talk about Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, many of them have the same expression.

Now that I saw it, I realized that it was indeed the case. No matter how hard the waiter worked, he couldn't hide the fact that the store looked ordinary and couldn't be more ordinary.

In Li Yan's inquiry, the origin of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion was also very simple.

The owner of the shop was opened by a monk who had retired from the army. It was said that in his early battles with the black demon clan, this man sacrificed his life to block a fatal blow for the team leader, and his body's acupoints were severely damaged.

After his injuries improved slightly, he quit the army and settled in Mingdu City.

This person's life experience is so simple. The spiritual stones used to open the shop are said to have come from compensation from the army and some gifts from the squad leader.

But such a simple origin seemed increasingly impossible due to Li Yan's suspicion. He would only think that this was an attempt to cover up the truth.

"Oh, is your master here? I have something to ask

\u003c/di\u003e

One or two. "

Li Yan withdrew his gaze and said softly.

"Are you looking for my master? But...my master doesn't have any regular customers here, and he rarely comes out. You can explain your purpose of coming first, and maybe you can help in a small way. If..."

The waiter looked confused and said hesitantly.

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from behind, interrupting the shop assistant's words.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it anymore, I understand! Fellow Taoist, are you here to hand over the jade slips?"

As the voice fell, the curtain hanging behind the door opened, and a middle-aged man in black walked out.

The first half of his sentence was addressed to the waiter in the shop, but at the end of the sentence, his eyes were already looking at Li Yan.

While he was looking Li Yan up and down, Li Yan was also looking at the middle-aged man in black.

The middle-aged man in black has a thin figure, an abnormal and sickly yellow color on his face, and his body is slightly stooped.

At first glance, he looked like he was sick.

Li Yan was not surprised when the other party suddenly appeared, because he had sensed it before, but the other party's words made Li Yan startled.

"The other party has been waiting for me for a long time!"

As the curtain behind the other party lowered, Li Yan's heart moved, but his expression remained as usual.

Li Yan bowed his hands to the middle-aged man in black and asked straight to the point.

"I have seen this fellow Taoist. Please tell me, Your Excellency, you have seen my appearance on the jade slip, so you are so sure of your purpose of coming."

The middle-aged man in black waved his hand to the waiter who was still stunned and motioned for the waiter to go about his business.

Then he smiled.

"That's unprecedented. It's just that someone came here a few months ago and said that there would be a human monk who would store a jade slip here in the near future. Just ask me to accept it.

As for me, except for some familiar Taoist friends, few people come directly to see me, especially a human monk.

If you are here to buy something, at least you will ask about the situation first, that’s all! "

"Oh, the monk who allowed fellow Taoist to accept the jade slip must be very familiar to fellow Taoist, otherwise he would have settled here directly..."

Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he immediately smiled and said.

But before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man in black shook his head with a smile and interrupted Li Yan's words.

"Fellow Taoist, you want to ask who that person is? It seems that this is destined to disappoint fellow Taoist. It seems that you are still not very clear about the situation here.

Our large and small shops in Mingdu City will store some things for others and charge some fees.

It's just that small shops like mine usually store less important things.

Unlike those big shops, they are more powerful and have a good reputation.

To make people more trustworthy, it is possible that someone on their side may even store the skills.

It also ensures that when the technique is taken out again, nothing will be lost and no one will peep.

The prohibition mark set above can be checked repeatedly by customers to determine whether it has been touched by anyone.

However, if you just store some small things, of course it is more convenient for a small store like ours.

Therefore, if this fellow Taoist wants to ask who left the letter and stored something here, I don’t know him. That is a matter between the two of you. "

Upon hearing this, Li Yan thought to himself, "Sure enough, this is exactly the same result as he expected."

Of course he had also inquired about things like storing jade slips in shops, but he just said that on purpose.

Li Yan nodded, but still continued to ask.

"Whether the other party is a man or a woman, old or young, can you tell me this, fellow Taoist?"

The middle-aged man in black took a deep look at Li Yan and thought for a moment.

"Well, I should be able to tell you this. The other party did not request to deliberately hide his identity, so I can also say something simple here.

Well, fellow Taoist, please tell me who you will give the jade slip to first. Who is your Excellency? I want to check the identity of my fellow Taoist, so I don't end up getting the wrong person, which would be bad. "

"Zhao Min! I'm Li Yan"

Li Yan said without hesitation.

Since Zhao Min did not hint that he had a pseudonym in the jade slip, both parties must be using their real names at the moment.

"Haha, that's it. Fellow Daoist Li came several months later than expected.

However, no familiar human monks have come here in the past few months. As expected, I did not recognize the wrong person.

Well, the person who asked to keep the jade slip was a big man who looked to be only in his mid-thirties. "

At this point, the middle-aged man in black stopped talking and actually shut up.

Li Yan couldn't help but frown.

"that is all?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, I'm really sorry, although the other party didn't tell me to keep his information secret.

But obviously you have no prior agreement with this person, at least you don’t know the other person’s existence, and I’m sorry I can’t explain the rest. "

"How many spirit stones? What is his level of cultivation? What characteristics does he have or does he have any sect marks on his body?"

Li Yan asked more directly this time.

“Fellow Daoist Li, isn’t this a business that can be done?

When we open a shop here, we must abide by the rules of this industry. Anyone who breaks the rules will not be able to stay here in the future.

Come to think of it, Fellow Daoist Li wouldn't want to ruin my job, would he? "

The smile on the middle-aged man's face in black gradually faded. He didn't know whether the other party really didn't know the rules or was pretending not to know. It was a great honor to be able to tell him this.

Those who open their doors for business do not want to offend anyone.

\u003c/di\u003e

Seeing this, Yan raised his hands helplessly.

"I'm just being reckless, I really don't know the rules here.

So, I don’t know if this next question violates the rules of fellow Taoists. Please forgive me if I am wrong.

After I leave my jade slip here, when will that person come to pick it up? "

The expression on the middle-aged man's face softened.

"I can't be sure about this. After we store things here, we pay spiritual stones based on the number of days we store them and the importance of the things we store.

Generally, you only need to pay the basic fee in advance, and then calculate how many days it will be stored until you finally pick it up.

If fellow Taoist believers in the credibility of this shop, even if they keep things here for decades, there will be no problem, as long as they pay the corresponding spirit stones when the time comes.

Of course, if something is lost, we will pay the compensation as agreed in advance.

However, most stores will not accept storage that they cannot afford to compensate.

But there have been cases in the city before where some guests deliberately kept valuable treasures as ordinary things in order to hide them from others.

But after it is finally lost, we will only pay according to the compensation agreed in advance, and will not pay according to the real price of the treasure. After all, there is no basis for what we say.

What I have said above is to tell Fellow Daoist Li that when the other party comes to pick it up, everything is decided by the customer.

Well, this time should have been agreed between the Taoist friend and the other party.

It's just that in the past six months, the other party has come twice, but because Fellow Daoist Li failed to come, the other party returned empty-handed. "

"Oh, the other party has already come twice!"

After Li Yan heard this, he thought about it in his mind, and this time he did not continue to ask about the time of the two visits.

Instead, he directly took out a light yellow jade slip and handed it to the middle-aged man in black.

"Then I'll trouble you fellow Taoist!"

After the middle-aged man in black took the jade slip with some surprise, Li Yan turned around and left without stopping for a moment, and soon disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.

The middle-aged man in black was holding a jade slip in his hand, looking at Li Yan's disappearing back, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he sneered in his heart.

"This boy really doesn't want to give up. The girl heard that her cultivation is progressing at a rapid pace, which makes General Shanggong very happy.

General Shanggong has summoned me several times, just because he doesn’t want you to know the situation. How can he let her disciples have anything to do with you anymore.

I hope you will return to your original sect honestly after delivering the jade slips this time. After all, we have treated you extremely kindly.

Otherwise, if you let General Shanggong know that you are still looking for her disciples, you will really not be far from death.

I heard that you are the only one left in your sect now. You are not a famous sect in the human race. If you die, you will die. No one will come to seek justice for you. "

After these thoughts went through the middle-aged man in black's mind quickly, he still felt that Li Yan would not give up.
