Chapter 721: Unable to See Through
In the next period of time, the other party will definitely keep an eye on the people coming and going in his shop.
The middle-aged man in black raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and turned to the backyard.
"Then you can guard it well, as long as you can afford the spiritual stones for accommodation here!
But my patience is limited. If you ask around, I will have to report it to General Shanggong for handling!"
The middle-aged man in black did not sympathize with Li Yan, but did not want to offend Zhao Min. He knew that General Shanggong attached great importance to this new disciple.
If this cultivator surnamed Li got into trouble here, once the girl grew up in the future, he would have provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked. ??
He was a smooth person, and of course he didn't want to let such a thing happen to him.
Li Yan, who mixed into the crowd, had the same face as before, but he was already quickly recalling the conversation between him and the middle-aged man in black.
"Is this person really following the rules of the trade, or is he doing it on purpose? He may know the real identity of the big man and deliberately conceal it.
Is all this arranged by the Yuanying cultivator? She is certain that I can't find out where Zhao Min is.
Now I can only secretly monitor whether someone will come to take the jade slip after I leave, or whether the middle-aged man in black will leave the shop on his own.
If this is the case, then his previous statement that the big man has come twice in half a year is a lie.
No matter which situation occurs, it means that the two can contact each other quickly and there is no need to come to ask.
And this is to completely confirm the identity of the middle-aged man in black. He may be a hidden player or spy left in Mingdu City by the Yuanying cultivator."
After thinking quickly in his mind, Li Yan went straight back to the inn.
When he returned to the inn, he saw the fake Dan cultivator with a fish head and a human body still sitting in the lobby, as if he was tasting tea.
But the heat of the tea had long dissipated.
When he saw Li Yan, he was still obviously stunned. Maybe he didn't expect this man to come back again.
He had been waiting for the news that he had left the city.
Li Yan didn't care about that. After finding the shop assistant and paying the three-day spiritual stone, he went back into the room.
He had to start paying close attention to the whereabouts of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion.
In the past few days, Li Yan didn't release his spiritual sense to explore the outside situation at will. He had been understanding the situation of Mingdu City, and now he had basically figured it out.
In the capital, the Jindan sitting in charge would not patrol all the time, and the appearance of his spiritual sense would not be so coincidental to be targeted by the Jindan cultivators.
As long as no one gave a warning, the middle-aged man in black would know that he was spying secretly.
The strength he showed was comparable to that of the other party. I think the other party thought that as long as he used his spiritual sense to explore, he would be sensed by him.
After Li Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, he immediately released his spiritual sense, and soon the scene in the backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion appeared in Li Yan's spiritual sense.
The backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion is not very big, but it is very tidy and well organized.
It looks like it was built by a veteran soldier, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
There is only one hall and two rooms behind the courtyard. At this moment, a middle-aged man in black is holding an ancient scroll and slowly looking at it.
As for Li Yan's spiritual sense, it really found nothing.
Seeing this, Li Yan smiled slightly in his heart, and then he slowly entered a meditative state, but placed a weak spiritual sense near Baidao Tianbao Pavilion.
Even if a Jindan cultivator's spiritual sense swept over, Li Yan was confident that he could sense it in advance. Even if he was discovered by the other party, he would immediately take it back.
It is normal for cultivators in the city to use spiritual sense to explore. It is not his spiritual sense. As long as he is not caught by the master and nothing serious happens, others will not bother to care.
He wants to see who will come to take his jade slip.
Li Yan sat cross-legged, and time unknowingly came to the evening of the third day.
What disappointed Li Yan was that during these three days, people who came to the Baidao Tianbao Pavilion store either really bought materials or just looked around and left after asking.
Most of them were received by the mortal waiter, and only three people came into contact with the middle-aged man in black, and they should be familiar with the middle-aged man in black.
After the middle-aged man in black talked to the other party, only one person took two bottles of elixirs and left, and the other two sat for a while and left directly.
Li Yan's spiritual sense observed the people who entered the store very carefully. If the middle-aged man in black took out his jade slip, Li Yan would definitely know.
Because he also left some tricks on it, not spiritual sense, nor spiritual power, but a trace of his own unique venom, which was pitifully small, and I am afraid that even mortals could not hurt it.
Li Yan was confident that even if the jade slip was obtained by a Jindan cultivator, he was 70% sure that the other party would not be able to find it.
As for poisoning, Li Yan was very focused.
Therefore, as long as the middle-aged man in black took out the jade slip, Li Yan could sense it immediately.
"I can't sense the breath of the jade slip. Did he keep it in his storage bag?"
Li Yan thought in his heart, and at the same time, he began to waver in his previous judgment.
"It's been three days, and no one has come to take it. If Baidao Tianbao Pavilion is really related to Zhao Min's sect, it should be connected. Did I make a wrong judgment?
Is this Baidao Tianbao Pavilion really just an ordinary shop, and the big man he mentioned before is also real?"
Li Yan's eyes slowly narrowed. After a while, he left the room, then opened the formation again and locked himself in the room.
At this moment, in another room in the inn, several monks with fish heads and human bodies were sitting together. They all had gloomy faces and were talking to each other.
Voice transmission in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Min, I just made inquiries. After that boy came out, he extended the rent for another five days. He doesn't plan to leave anytime soon."
The fake elixir monk known as Senior Brother Min was stroking a long catfish whisker at the corner of his mouth with two fingers. He rolled his eyes a few times and suddenly laughed.
“Hehehe, I think it’s a good thing.
First, it shows that the boy has a lot of money and doesn't care about the spirit stones. So killing him will not only vent the anger of the junior brothers, but also get a lot of benefits from him.
Secondly, the more this boy dares not leave the city, the more likely it is that he has discovered us.
Although there is an indifferent attitude on the surface, it may be just for us to see. Therefore, we must be more vigilant and guard against the four gates.
Maybe he just used a trick to make us think he would live here for a while, and he meant to be contemptuous.
Didn't you see that when he paid the rent renewal, he didn't avoid others? Maybe he did it deliberately for us to see.
Maybe he has a plan now and wants to sneak away secretly before we are prepared.
Everything was carried out as it was the previous few days, keeping an eye on him at all times. "
After listening to this, several other people thought that this was true and nodded.
Li Yan didn't know anything about this. He just knew that the fish-headed monks seemed to be staring at him.
He had no intention of leaving now, and no one in the city dared to fight, so he didn't take it to heart.
What's going on in his mind right now is Baidao Tianbao Pavilion.
On the other side, in the backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, a middle-aged man in black put down the book in his hand and looked up at the courtyard. After being stunned for a while, he was also wondering in his heart.
"The monk named Li has been staying in the inn like this, why hasn't he secretly monitored his place?
It had been several days, and not only had the other party never left the inn, but his spiritual consciousness had never appeared here.
What on earth was he doing in the room? Could it be that he really had other things to do and would leave directly after the matter was over? "
The middle-aged man in black has a wide network of contacts in the city, and there is no need to use monks' methods to monitor Li Yan, as he may be noticed by the other party.
He only needed to secretly entrust him with it, sit in the store and wait, and someone would naturally pass on the information.
He judged that Li Yan would definitely not let him go, but in the past few days, except for a few strands of spiritual consciousness that swept over Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, there was no spiritual consciousness staying and hovering here at all.
This made the middle-aged man in black couldn't help but feel more and more strange about Li Yan's behavior. For a moment, he thought that he was thinking too much.
"He really doesn't care about his senior sister, who he depends on for life? This is somewhat unreasonable."
After the man in black stared blankly at the scenery in the courtyard for a while, he thought about what he had learned before.
News arrived.
"The rent has been extended for another five days. I can't tell that I am quite rich. Since you are willing to stay here, it doesn't matter what you do?
Whatever you do, it's too late and it won't have any effect. "
Then, the middle-aged man in black suppressed his thoughts, picked up the book and continued reading.
Time is nothing to a monk. It is often just a meditation session, which lasts for several months.
Li Yan was sitting cross-legged, and a ray of consciousness focused on Baidao Tianbao Pavilion. Five days passed in a flash.
Li Yan opened his eyes with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"Another five days have passed. In the past few days, the middle-aged man in black has only received two guests.
Moreover, when I traded with the other party separately, I didn't sense any sign left behind. Could it be that I really guessed wrong?
The middle-aged man in black had kept the jade slip in his storage bag. Was he really waiting for the so-called big man to come and pick it up? "
Li Yan's eyes flickered uncertainly. He felt that his judgment should be correct, so he waited for another five days, hoping to see any changes from the middle-aged man in black.
However, there was nothing unusual about the other party's actions, which was completely inconsistent with his own speculation.
According to Li Yan's judgment, the Nascent Soul monk who accepted Zhao Min as his disciple should not have discovered the existence of the "heart-twisting and peduncle poison" in Zhao Min.
Therefore, it is impossible to know that Zhao Min knows that he is safe and sound. In order to stabilize Zhao Min's cultivation mind, he must let Zhao Min know his situation as soon as possible.
Then there is only one way, which is to get the jade slips that Zhao Min agreed with him. How could he be treated so casually?
If that's the case, it only means that Zhao Min is not taken seriously, but there is no need to treat himself. "
All of this was not in line with Li Yan's speculation, and Li Yan was confused for a moment.
"Could it be that my divine consciousness detection was discovered by the other party?"
After thinking about it, Li Yan was still convinced that what the other party showed was his true strength.
This middle-aged man in black must not know that his spiritual power is much higher than his, so he has been spying secretly.
Li Yan was so anxious that he simply stood up and started pacing back and forth in the room.
After a long time, he felt that his speculation should be correct, and the basis for this was that the other party must value Zhao Min.
Since his speculation was correct, and the current development of things was surprisingly strange, then where did he go wrong?
Was the middle-aged man in black acting like this for the sake of safety, slowly wearing out his patience?
Or did he really have no intention of going out to send the jade slip?
Or was it that the cultivator who came to get the jade slip was too far away from here and needed a longer time to arrive..."
Thinking of this, Li Yan's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks, with a look of even more surprise on his face.
