After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping
Chapter 103 Old Shopkeeper
After the transaction was completed, Ye Pianran left Zhenbao Pavilion with satisfaction.
Before leaving, Yao Anping gave her a note and pointed out a way to the back door.
"There is Qiankun in this store. He sells information. If you want to know anything in the sect, you can buy it." Yao Anping said in a message, "Also... you are right to come to Zhenbao Pavilion in the future and come to me."
Ye Pianran knew the reason for his overtures and did not refuse. He took the note with a smile, which contained an address and a secret message.
Originally, she planned to go back directly, but after coming out of the back door of Zhenbao Pavilion, she changed her route and went to the address on the note.
After passing through several remote alleys and twists and turns, we came to an inconspicuous shop.
The shop is nameless and small in area. The counters are filled with consumables such as talismans, paper and animal pens, and are only cared for by an old shopkeeper with an unattractive appearance.
"What does this immortal family need?"
When the old shopkeeper opened his mouth, he was full of Jianghu aura. There was not a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations on his body, and he looked just like a mortal.
Ye Pianran calmly looked at the layout of the store, walked to the counter and lowered her voice. Qingyue's voice became deep and hoarse.
"Heavenly stems and earthly branches, Wuji, Gengxin."
"It turns out he is a distinguished customer." The old shopkeeper still had the same smile, and his cloudy eyes showed no emotion. However, at the same time as he spoke, the door of the shop suddenly closed, and the small door leading to the backyard opened on its own.
"Invite your distinguished guests in," the old shopkeeper said, walking out from behind the counter and leading Ye Pianran into the backyard and to a small door.
There is a different scene behind the small door. In other words, the door is not a door, but a ban. After passing through the ban, what you see in front of you is a secret room.
The walls on both sides of the secret room are covered with dark red square wooden cabinets, which are densely packed and countless. At the end of the wooden cabinet, there is a wooden table, and behind the wooden table sits a man in black.
The old shopkeeper brought Ye Pianran to the man in black and resigned on his own.
There was no verbal communication between the two, and Ye Pianran couldn't capture any information. He pulled up the chair in front of the wooden table and sat down.
"What news do you need, sir?"
The man in black's voice was hoarse and mocking, and you could tell it was not the original voice.
Ye Pianran wore a cloak and said in a deliberately disguised voice, "I would like to know the list of people who have inquired about Ye Pianran, the leader of this new disciple group, in the past month."
"I'm sorry, although our store is a small operation, we live by integrity. We cannot disclose the information about our guests."
"Money can make the world go round," Ye Pianran didn't believe his words, "It's just that the price is not right, so let's make a price."
The man in black said, "One name means one hundred thousand spirit stones."
so expensive?
Ye Pianran was silent for a moment. The white prismatic crystal she just bought in Zhenbao Pavilion had already spent most of her spiritual stones. Now she owes a debt of [-] contribution points, and the Demonic Cloud Stone Spirit cannot help her. When it comes to taking action within the sect, we really can't say we have enough money.
"Where's Ye Xiyue's whereabouts in the past three months?"
This question would inevitably reveal her identity, but if she had expected it right, her true identity might have been revealed before she even set foot in the store.
Take the old shopkeeper who was looking after the store in front of him. Anyway, she didn't believe that a foundation-building monk could control his aura so seamlessly, unless he possessed some amazing secret technique.
No matter what the situation is, it is enough to show that this store is anything but simple.
Coupled with the information revealed in Yao Anping's words, he had never heard of the existence of this store before.
Ye Pianran felt that since this was the case, there was nothing to hide. "Ten thousand spiritual stones." The man in black quoted, his tone calm from beginning to end.
Ye Pianran took out [-] spirit stones and put them on the table. After inspecting the goods, the man in black put the spirit stones away. With a big hand wearing black gloves, a dark red wooden cabinet somewhere on the right opened and a jade slip flew out. .
The jade slip fell on the table near Ye Pianran, and the fluctuations in spiritual power disappeared. She picked up the jade slip and started reading.
Ye Xiyue's whereabouts were not complicated. She spent most of the first two months in her own yard and stayed in seclusion. It was only in the past month, especially ten days ago, that she began to move around frequently.
Ten days ago, it happened to be the first day of the free challenge. On that day, she was not only challenged, but also took the initiative to challenge Zhou Zhengxu, who was ranked thirteenth at the time.
It seemed that it was at this time that Ye Xiyue realized that she was still alive. Before that, Ye Xiyue probably thought she was a dead person.
On the same day, Ye Xiyue went out without her entourage, and ran into Ye Yunzhen on the road. There seemed to be some unpleasantness between the two.
These were not what Ye Pianran cared about. She continued to look down and found what she was looking for.
After Ye Xiyue broke up with Ye Yunzhen, she came all the way to Zongmenfang City and also entered this small shop.
What kind of news she bought was naturally not written on it, but Ye Pianran could guess it.
Later, there were records about Ye Xiyue constantly rushing to the Sutra Pavilion and the Law Enforcement Hall, and sometimes staying in the Sutra Pavilion for a whole day.
Under such busy circumstances, Ye Xiyue insisted on attending the first day. Every challenge that Ye Pianran faced had to be said to be painstaking.
There is no doubt that these are Ye Xiyue's preparations to take Ye Pianran to the law enforcement hall.
Unfortunately, there is no record in the jade slips as to the source of the evidence. It is thought that it was carried out through some kind of remote communication method and does not fall into the category of whereabouts.
Ten thousand spiritual stones, just to buy this little information, is indeed horrifyingly expensive. However, compared to the previous one named Hundred Thousand Spiritual Stones, the price-performance ratio is still much higher.
Ye Pianran read all the records carefully, took back her spiritual power, and the jade slips set themselves on fire the next moment, quickly turning into ashes.
The hoarse and mocking voice of the man in black sounded at the right moment, "My lord, please go slowly."
Ye Pianran stood up, without saying a word, turned around and walked in the direction from where she came.
Strangely, the scene in front of her changed again, perhaps because she did not look back when she entered the secret room. The dark mahogany cabinets on both sides extended forward infinitely, and the candles on the wall lit up the passage, one by one. There seems to be no end.
Of course, this is not possible.
As Ye Pianran walked, she observed the shape of the flame through her hood. When she passed the third candle, she followed the position in her memory and plunged into it.
The next moment, she appeared in a familiar store. When she turned her head, she saw the old shopkeeper, who was so ordinary that people could forget about it in an instant, looking at her with a smile.
The old shopkeeper's cloudy eyes narrowed into slits, and he said kindly, "Thank you Xian family for your patronage."
Ye Pianran nodded and left the shop through the already open door without lingering.
And not long after she left, the door of the store closed out of thin air again. The old shopkeeper put away his smiling face and entered the secret room through the small door.
"He Lao." This time, the man in black stood up from behind the wooden table, bowed respectfully to the old shopkeeper, and said, "She found the right entrance the first time."
"Really." The old man named He narrowed his eyes, "How can the girl Minglang likes be a simple person?"
