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 Demon Beast fur, bones and other things 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.

Those were just some blank Jade Slip and dozens of sample herbal medicines, as well as some small porcelain bottles that should be filled with Pill.

The entire store gives people an extremely ordinary look, which is similar to some of the private shops Li Yan has seen before.

"It's so simple. It's so different from big stores like 'Guiqulaixi'!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yan instantly thought of "Guiqulaixi" and the incomparable gorgeous Su Hong.

In this battle with Devil Race, he did not see Su Hong, and he did not know whether the monks in shops like "Guiqulaixi" 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 White Devil Race mortal, looking at Li Yan with a bright smile at the moment.

I have to say that White Devil Race is truly a natural beauty. This sentence can even be applied to a man. Just this smile can make Li Yan feel happy in his heart.

Li Yan has seen this situation before in other shops, but now it feels like a breath of fresh air.

"If you can bring a few White Devil Race to the Desolate Moon Continent and sell them to "Guiqulaixi" as associates, you can probably make a fortune."

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

He had been outside for a long time and had inquired 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 Momodo Tianbao Pavilion is also very simple.

The owner of the shop is owned by a monk who retired from the army. I heard that this man had serious damage to his body after he sacrificed his life to block a fatal blow for the team leader during an early battle with Black Devil Race.

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, with Li Yan's paranoia, became more and more impossible. He would only think that this was a cover-up.

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

</di>

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 me 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 Daoist, are you here to hand over Jade Slip?"

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 is a little thin, with an abnormal 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 door curtain behind the other party lowered, Li Yan's heart moved, but his expression remained as usual.

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

"I have seen this fellow Daoist. Please tell me, you have seen my appearance Jade Slip, so you are so sure of my purpose of coming."

The middle-aged man in black waved his hand to the waiter, who was still a little stunned, and told the waiter to go about his business.

Then he smiled.

"That's something that has never happened before. It's just that someone came here a few months ago and said that there would be a Human Race monk. He would deposit a Jade Slip here in the near future. Just ask me to accept it.

As for me, except for some familiar Daoist friends, very few people come directly to see me, especially a Human Race monk.

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

"Oh, the monk who allowed fellow Daoist to accept Jade Slip must be very familiar to fellow Daoist, 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 Daoist, you want to ask who that person is? It seems that this is destined to disappoint fellow Daoist. 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 Daoist 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. "

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

Of course he had also inquired about things like storing Jade Slip 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 Daoist?"

The middle-aged man in black took a deep look at Li Yan and pondered 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 Daoist, please tell me who you will give Jade Slip to first. Who are you? I want to check the identity of my fellow Daoist, so that I don't end up getting the wrong person, which would be bad. "

"Zhao Min! Next Li Yan"

Li Yan said without hesitation.

Since Zhao Min did not hint that he had a pseudonym in Jade Slip, both parties must be using their real names for now.

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

However, no familiar Human Race monk has come here in the past few months. As expected, I did not recognize the wrong person.

Well, the person who asked to keep 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 frowned.

"That's 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.

Li

</di>

Seeing this, Yan raised his hands helplessly.

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

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

After I leave my Jade Slip here, when will the person come to pick it up? "

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

"I'm not 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 most basic fee in advance, and then calculate how many days it will be stored until you finally pick it up.

If fellow Daoist believers in the reputation of this shop, even if they keep things here for decades, there will be no problem, as long as they pay the corresponding spiritual 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 stored 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 Daoist 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 been here twice!"

Li Yan After listening to this, after thinking about it in his mind, he didn't ask about the time of coming here twice this time.

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 Daoist!"

After the middle-aged man in black took the Jade Slip in surprise, Li Yan didn't stop for a moment, turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.

The middle-aged man in black held Jade Slip in his hand and looked at the disappearing figure of Li Yan. 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 that after you give away Jade Slip this time, you will return to your original sect honestly. After all, we have treated you extremely kindly.

Otherwise, if you let General Shanggong know that you are still looking for her disciples everywhere, 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 like 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.
