Seeing the plaque on the door of 'Yunxuan Pavilion', Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the origin of this shop.
According to the clerk at Tianjifang in Yushan Town, the leader in Jiuzhou's weapon refining industry should be Yunxuan Pavilion. The cloud robes and boots made from cloud silk are the best in the world and are hard to find...
Didn’t his ruined Taoist robe come from ‘Yunxuan Pavilion’?
After hesitating for a moment in front of the shop, Lin Yi finally raised his feet and walked in. The furnishings in the shop are antique, with three or two monks lingering in front of Duobaozi, and an old man with a white beard guarding a round table with his eyes closed to meditate. There was also a young waiter who saw a guest coming to the door and came up to greet him and said hello.
Lin Yi took out the Taoist robe and asked, "Is this made by your shop...?"
The guy was in his twenties, with a third level of qi training, and his whole body was neatly groomed. Seeing that the visitor took out a Taoist robe without saying a word, he hurriedly reached out and took it with a smile, and then said in surprise: "Is this a 'cloud robe'?"
Hearing the sound, the old man at the table suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the Taoist robe in the waiter's hand, he quietly looked at the young-looking Jindan monk again.
Seeing that the guy knew about the Taoist robe and didn't make any excuses, Lin Yi asked again: "Can it be repaired...?"
Unexpectedly, before the waiter could answer, the old man stood up and came closer, took the Taoist robe, smiled warmly at Lin Yi, and said: "The cloud robes are all made by the 'Yunxuan Pavilion' headquarters in Yangzhou, Lan The city's semicolons don't have this ability..." As he spoke, he took the Taoist robe in his hand and inspected it carefully, and his expression changed slightly.
It turns out that this Yunxuan Pavilion is just a semicolon. Is it necessary to go to Yangzhou to repair the Taoist robe? Lin Yi shook his head secretly, not paying attention to the strange look on the old man's expression. This old man in the middle stage of foundation building should be the shopkeeper here, but he said: "The cloud robe can be repaired. Please leave your name and where you are, so that we can contact you..."
Lin Yi was a little surprised. Without thinking too much, he took out the jade sign that entered the city and said, "That's good! I don't know how much it will cost, how much time will it take...?"
The old man smiled noncommittally and handed the Taoist robe to the waiter on the side. He took the jade token, inspected it briefly, then returned it, and then looked at Lin Yi's appearance attentively. Then, he took out a blank jade slip and used his spiritual consciousness to rub something on it.
In an instant, the old man finished everything at hand and continued: "This 'Yunpao' must be sent to Yangzhou before it can be repaired. The cost and time required have yet to be determined by the head office of 'Yunxuan Pavilion'..." " His expression was relaxed, but his words were neither cold nor indifferent.
Lin Yi was startled for a moment, then frowned. I thought that after handing over the spirit stone, I would be able to get my repaired Taoist robe back after three to five days, or after waiting for ten months. And if it is according to what the shopkeeper said, wouldn't "Yunxuan Pavilion" be able to know where he is going at any time? Unexpectedly, just a trivial thing could become so involved...
For some reason, Lin Yi felt uneasy. Especially thinking of the old man's behavior just now made him secretly regretful.
At this point, Lin Yi raised his hand and took the Taoist robe from the waiter's hand. Without waiting for the old man to ask, he grabbed the jade slip in the other man's hand. Sure enough, not only did his name and origins appear in it, but his appearance was also printed on it.
"Senior..." The old man was stunned and lost his voice, but saw that the other party's hand gently used force and immediately crushed the jade slip into pieces. He suddenly said: "The rules of my Yunxuan Pavilion have always been like this, senior, there is no need to mind..."
I don’t know what the background behind Yunxuan Pavilion is, and the rules set by it are also so overbearing. Lin Yi shook his head and said: "I have no other intentions! When I go to Yangzhou in the future, it won't be too late to repair this robe..." After saying this, he nodded to the old man, turned around and walked out of the shop.
Seeing the guest walking away, the old man snorted indifferently. With a move of his robe sleeves, there was another jade slip in his hand, and he entered a side door of the shop...
…
Lin Yi strolled on the street and bought a few bottles of healing elixirs. I met someone selling flying boats in a shop, and the worst one cost a thousand spiritual stones. The asking price for a flying boat similar to the one used by Liu Yan'er in Yushan Town is over 5,000 spirit stones. In the end, he only bought a few jade slips related to the refining.
The best way to save money in the world is to do it yourself.
The business of the Immortal Shop is buying and selling. Magical weapons, spiritual weapons and even magic weapons that are not used by monks, as well as various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, can be consigned here. Lin Yi had a lot of messy things on his body, but he had no intention of replacing them with spiritual stones. The real reason, besides avoiding trouble, is that I am afraid of suffering a loss. After he gained some knowledge and figured out the general market situation here, the day was over.
Lin Yi walked out of a shop, took off the purple gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine. It was almost dusk and his interest in traveling was waning, so he thought about returning to the inn. At this time, two middle-aged men walked towards me.
They were two foundation-building monks, whispering and gradually walking away.
Watching the two figures go away, a trace of surprise flashed across Lin Yi's expression. He thought for a moment, then slowly followed him, walking dozens of feet behind the former. After passing two street intersections, a small wine shop appeared in front.
There was little business in this wine shop, and the front door was deserted. There was only a middle-aged shopkeeper, leaning on an old tent pole, looking listless. The two foundation-building monks came closer, each took out a jade tablet and shook it. Upon seeing this, the skinny shopkeeper's expression immediately changed, and he became energetic.
The two foundation-building monks looked at each other and smiled, then took out another spiritual stone and threw it over. The shopkeeper nodded and thanked him, then whispered a few instructions, and then pointed to the low shop behind him. The former understood it, walked in together, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the lanterns began to shine, and in the quiet night, the figures on the street became dim.
After looking around, Lin Yi, who was a little thoughtful, slowly walked forward. The wine shop was small, with a low door and a broken awning held up by a few wooden sticks in front. It looked extremely shabby and inconspicuous. The skinny man saw the passers-by approaching but didn't pay attention. Then he saw that the person who came was actually a Jindan monk. His leaning body slowly stood up straight.
Stopping in front of the wine shop, Lin Yi took out the katama card and shook it like the two people just now. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper had no intention of inviting him, but instead slumped down again, with a lewd smile on his face.
This skinny man is not an ordinary person, but a monk in the early stages of foundation building. However, his lazy and smooth appearance is quite consistent with his identity as the shopkeeper. The shop was dimly lit, with several wine jars tilted here and there... Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Yi secretly wondered, could it be different from what he had guessed?
"Hey! This senior's brand has been abandoned for many years..." The shopkeeper suddenly grinned, his small eyes twinkling.
Hearing the sound, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the other party quietly. The man said lazily: "Since we can find it here, there may be a way to accommodate it..." Before he could finish his words, he saw five spiritual stones flying in front of him.
"Hey! Everything can be accommodated..." The shopkeeper suddenly became energetic. After grabbing the spirit stone, he quickly took out a jade token and presented it to him. He said neatly: "This is the new token of the elders. , if there are no accidents, we will be able to travel here without any hindrance within a few decades!”
Lin Yi took the jade token that he had exchanged for five spiritual stones and looked at it for a moment. It is quite crude, with an inscription with the word "LAN" on it, as well as incomprehensible weird patterns and faint spiritual power fluctuations.
"Senior, please..." The shopkeeper gestured behind him and spoke out.
Nodding, Lin Yi plunged into the dark shop without hesitation. There is a small door on one side of the inside. Pass through it, follow the winding alley, and then come to a secluded small courtyard.
There were people waiting in the courtyard, the same two foundation-building monks. One of them came forward to inspect Lin Yi's jade plaque and then explained a few words. Seeing that the other party agreed, he collected ten spiritual stones and presented a jade talisman. The other person pointed to the Moon Gate not far away and said, "Senior, please go this way..."
After walking here, Lin Yi understood that this day's wandering was not in vain, and he found the place he was looking for!
On the street before, Lin Yi overheard the two monks talking. When one person mentioned the secret place, he changed to voice transmission. He just heard the word "ghost market" and followed him all the way.
When he arrived at the wine shop, what he saw and heard made Lin Yi confirm his guess, so he took out the jade token given by Tie Qi, hoping to imitate the former and walk into the mysterious shop. Unexpectedly, the place he was looking for changed, and the jade plaque used also changed. Fortunately, the shopkeeper recognized the cards and spirit stones, but did not recognize the person, so he came here.
Entering the moon gate, there is another dark alley in front of you. With no one behind or behind him, Lin Yi raised the jade talisman in his hand. The two of them just explained that there are risks in trading, and they can use this object to hide their appearance to prevent accidents. Although he had a good "phantom spirit technique" available, he still took out ten spirit stones, just like doing as the Romans do!
Crushing the jade talisman casually, a small ball of light was generated and suddenly covered his face. Lin Yi used his spiritual consciousness to look back at himself and saw a layer of mist covering his facial features, but he really couldn't distinguish his original appearance. And he looked at his clothes and hair accessories, and couldn't help but shake his head. Maybe this method only works for strangers!
In the darkness, walking not far forward, Lin Yi came to another place. Looking at the rather spacious yard in front of him, he paused and then walked aside alone.
There were no lights in the yard, and it was still pitch black. But there were dozens of monks standing here, all standing silently with their hands folded, no one paying attention to Lin Yi's arrival. After a while, more figures continued to pour in from the other two courtyard doors.
Guarding a corner of the yard, Lin Yi looked around, his eyes flashing red. There are restrictions on covering his face, so he is not afraid of anyone seeing through the abnormality of his 'phantom eyes'.
After a while, Lin Yi secretly shook his head. Everyone in the courtyard has hidden their appearance, but under the 'phantom eyes', nothing can be hidden. But the situation in the yard still gave him a new look!
In the dark night, figures swayed, looking like ghosts. The term "ghost market" is apt!
Among this group of people, there are not only many Qi refining and foundation building monks, but also quite a few golden elixir monks. What surprised Lin Yi was that there were actually a few Nascent Soul cultivators mixed in with the crowd. However, these masters only concealed the aura on their bodies, but they did not bother to use restrictions to cover their faces. The strangeness in the crowd was still noticed by the attentive monks, and they all hid aside, making the surroundings of these people less crowded.
Gradually, there were more than a hundred people in the yard.
At this time, someone opened the door of a house in the courtyard, and then someone walked in. There was a teleportation array inside, and no one knew where it led.
After the people in front were teleported away one after another, Lin Yi followed the last few people into the teleportation array. In just a blink of an eye, the previous house was replaced by a cave.
After leaving the array and walking out of the cave. Before he could see clearly where he was, Lin Yi turned back in surprise. He saw that someone had dismantled the teleportation array just now, obviously to destroy the retreat. There was also someone in front shouting loudly that the next time the "Xian City" opened, another auspicious place would be chosen...
