Chapter 722: One Step Away

After a few breaths, Li Yan disappeared from the room.

The formation restriction in the inn room remained open, and no breath fluctuations were emitted, as if no one had passed through the restriction and left, and of course no one noticed.

At this time, a ray of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky, and the whole town was still in a state of half awakening.

In the backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, the space suddenly twisted a little, and a gray figure between reality and illusion stood in the backyard.

The gray figure was Li Yan, who stood quietly in the backyard for a while with an expressionless face.

The divine consciousness did not sense that someone was exploring here, and the extremely faint figure quickly disappeared and merged into the hazy morning sky.

In a bedroom in the backyard, a middle-aged man in black was breathing with his eyes closed, and there was a gentle surge of spiritual energy around him. ??

With his breathing, the spiritual energy stretched or shrank towards his body.

The middle-aged man in black exuded a faint demonic aura, which was very pure and was the authentic source of demonic power.

At this moment, a very faint shadow suddenly appeared behind the middle-aged man in black.

The middle-aged man in black was unaware of the presence of someone so close, and he was still breathing slowly.

Li Yan looked at the middle-aged man in black with cold eyes. He could feel that the demonic energy emanating from him was different from those demon cultivators on the Desolate Moon Continent.

To be precise, it was different from the demon cultivators of the Black Demon Clan. The demonic energy of the middle-aged man in black lacked the aura of tyranny and bloodthirstiness, but gave people a heavy feeling.

"Is this the orthodox method of demon cultivation? It is a special racial attack force similar to the demon power of the demon clan.

Some magic weapons and inherited immortal arts must be performed with demonic energy, which is also one of the reasons why the demon clan and the demon clan are stronger than human cultivators.

Their demonic energy and demon power can not only strengthen the physical body, but also use spiritual power and demonic energy and demon power to perform different spells at the same time."

Li Yan thought of the demon magic weapons on his body, but spiritual power could not drive them at all.

After looking at the other party for less than a breath, Li Yan's spiritual sense quickly explored the room.

After about thirty breaths, Li Yan withdrew his spiritual sense with a strange look on his face.

"I didn't find anything here!"

In Li Yan's cognition, for general secrets, cultivators either carry them with them or keep their secrets in their own senses.

He didn't find what he wanted in the other party's most important secret room for cultivation. If he searched the storage bag on the middle-aged man in black, this was what Li Yan was most reluctant to do now.

He was sure that he could kill the other party quietly.

But as long as the other party was not dead, if he wanted to open the other party's storage bag without anyone noticing, it was not something he could do with his current cultivation.

Besides, he came here to find another thing he guessed.

The figure faded again. In the cultivation room, the middle-aged man in black didn't know that he had just walked through the gates of hell.

Li Yan's vague figure returned to the courtyard, and then he quickly wandered around in every corner for several circles, like a ghost descending on this land.

But the result was the same, nothing unusual was seen.

It seemed that the other party did not do anything unexpected in the courtyard.

Li Yan was very suspicious, and his style of doing things was different from others.

He would either go directly to the secret room where the middle-aged man in black, who he suspected the most, practiced, or check the courtyard that others were most likely to overlook.

After finding nothing from these two places that were most likely to spy on the other party's secrets.

Li Yan quickly searched the living room again, which was under his spiritual sense monitoring almost every day, so it was just another filter.

The result was exactly as Li Yan expected, no surprise, no disappointment.

Until then, Li Yan stood in front of the last room, where the door was ajar, like an unprotected room, and anyone could push the door in.

Li Yan's eyes flashed. During the few days he was monitoring this room, he had also seen the middle-aged man in black push the door in several times, but after Li Yan's spiritual sense sensed that there was a formation restriction in this room, he immediately retreated and did not force his way in.

If he guessed correctly, this room was the warehouse of the entire store.

He had seen the middle-aged man in black enter here dozens of times in the past few days, and when he came out, he often had some materials in his hands.

And his jade slip was placed in a storage bag and brought to this room by the middle-aged man in black.

When he came out again, he was empty-handed, and the jade slip might also be stored here.

A white light flashed on Li Yan's hand, and a white jade-like brocade handkerchief appeared in his hand.

Just now, he used the "Stealing Heaven Handkerchief" to break the ban and easily entered the secret room of the middle-aged man in black. Now he was just doing the same.

Li Yan had studied the "Stealing Heaven Handkerchief" for many times, but no matter how he tried, he could not find out more secrets of the "Stealing Heaven Handkerchief".

Even with his current cultivation, he would still feel dizzy after his spiritual consciousness was immersed in it for a long time.

Almost the whole mind was lost in the chaotic, crystal clear interwoven silk threads.

Every time the result made Li Yan sigh, it was still because his cultivation was too weak and his knowledge was too shallow. The secret of "stealing the sky handkerchief" could only be left for later.

Li Yan raised his palm, and the white light in his hand covered the half-open door.

The next moment, Li Yan's eyes narrowed.

"Sure enough, they have set up a clever restraint defense!"

Just cover it with "Stealing Heaven Pa"

The moment the door cracked, countless blue star dots began to light up in the otherwise ordinary door crack, and they became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, the hazy white light on the "Stealing Heaven Handkerchief" quickly shook, and all the blue star points were instantly shattered, and then a small hole slowly expanded in Li Yan's eyes.

Li Yan didn't pause at all, and his figure immediately turned into a gray light and shot into the small hole.

The moment his figure disappeared from the small hole, he had taken away the "Tiantian Pa", and the expanding small hole disappeared in an instant, leaving a slightly ajar door still standing.

In the room, several glowing moonstones were embedded in the center and four corners of the roof, making the entire room shrouded in soft white light, giving everything in the room a halo and hazy edge.

Since the room here is protected by formation restrictions, even in the dark night, not a single ray of light will leak out of the room. The few windows are just decorations.

There are six rows of wooden shelves in the room, and there are many medicinal herbs, unknown animal skins, bones, jade slips, and small porcelain bottles of various colors placed on the wooden shelves.

Each row of wooden frames was also shrouded in layers of faint yellow light. Li Yan knew that these were separate small defensive formations.

First, when the external defense fails, it further prevents someone from entering and taking things on the wooden shelf, which mainly serves as a warning;

The second is to protect the raw materials and elixirs on the wooden shelves to prevent the medicinal effects inside from being lost.

Therefore, Li Yan could not feel any demonic energy or aura from these bones and herbs to judge their level.

Regarding these, although Li Yan had plans to earn "Tuban", he had no choice but to give up after thinking about it.

In this way, it is undoubtedly telling the other party that someone has been here, and he is just asking for it.

Regardless of whether Baidao Tianbao Pavilion has anything to do with the person who accepted Zhao Min as his disciple, people will doubt him.

Li Yan quickly focused on other places in the room. In just a moment, Li Yan's expression changed and his figure appeared in a corner of the room.

In front of Li Yan, there was a stone platform half a person's height standing there.

Standing in front of the stone platform, Li Yan became a little dazed after looking at it for a while.

Although he had made some guesses before, after confirming it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"This... this is so cunning, using this method to deliver the message!"

The stone platform, which was half a person's height, was not very big. It was only half the size of a tabletop and had sixteen corners. It was carved with complicated runes that Li Yan could not fully identify.

At this moment, the sixteen corners are emitting a faint white light, which is almost integrated with the light of the moonstone in the entire room. If you are not careful, it is really not easy to notice anything special.

Although Li Yan couldn't identify all the runes,

But he has also read many ancient books, not to mention some of the common arts of cultivating immortals.

Of course Li Yan knew what this thing was, a teleportation array, an extremely exquisite small teleportation array.

But this was the first time Li Yan had seen such a small teleportation array. It was impossible to teleport even one person.

But obviously, if the other party only sends a jade slip, some pills, etc., there will be no problem at all.

Li Yan's face was a little gloomy. When he was in the inn and thought about whether the people who came to pick up the jade slips had not arrived at the Ming capital for six or seven days because of the long distance, he suddenly thought of the "teleportation array".

He immediately thought that if there was a teleportation array in Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, then the middle-aged man in black could enter and leave Mingdu City at any time, but it would be difficult for outsiders to detect it.

Normally, in a city with an array, the teleportation array inside must be controlled by the monks in charge, but it may be possible to build it secretly.

Li Yan then decided to take the risk and come over to check. Now it seems that the opponent not only has a "teleportation array", but is also superior.

Li Yan had never thought that the "teleportation array" could not teleport living things, but then again, who stipulated that the "teleportation array" must teleport living things.

After Li Yan repeatedly sensed the stone platform with his spiritual consciousness for a long time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

“The person who can think of this method is really brilliant.

If a large teleportation array is built, the spatial fluctuations caused by the operation of the teleportation array cannot be covered up by any defensive formation.

Every time it is used, many monks in the city will be alarmed, so the Baidao Tianbao Pavilion will be too eye-catching.

The teleportation array in front of us can only be regarded as a 'tiny' teleportation array at best, and larger things may not be able to be teleported through.

It can transport small things without any problem, and the spatial fluctuations produced during operation can be reduced to an extremely low level. "

Li Yan thought in his heart that under the cover of external formations, outsiders would not notice this place. At least he did not notice any abnormalities here.

Li Yan's consciousness quickly scanned the room again. Although there were more than a dozen storage items on the six rows of shelves, most of them had not been sacrificed by others. They were all new storage bags waiting to be sold. .

Although the remaining storage bags contained items, their sizes and shapes were different from the storage bags containing the jade slips that day.

With the memory of a monk, Li Yan would never misremember what kind of storage bag his jade slips were placed in at that time.

Obviously, his jade slip had been teleported away by the other party. Although this teleportation array was very small, too small to teleport one person, it did not mean that the distance it teleported was not far.

He had been completely fooled. The other party was related to the Nascent Soul cultivator. The big man who came to take the jade slip had come twice in total. None of the words the middle-aged man in black said were true. In this game, he was just one step away from winning.
