Liang Yan looked this person up and down and saw that this old man was wearing a light yellow mandarin jacket with a purple robe underneath. Although the whole person was not very luxurious, he was still somewhat wealthy.
"Are you the shopkeeper here?" Liang Yan said lightly.
"Senior is right. Junior Du Shang has taken up the post of shopkeeper of Lingbao Pavilion."
"Lingbao Pavilion, hey," Liang Yan said with a playful smile, "I wonder if you recognize Li Xiran?"
Du Shang's expression changed when he heard this, but returned to normal after a moment. He glanced around first, and then whispered to Liang Yan: "Senior, can you follow me into the inner courtyard? There are some things that need to be confirmed."
two."
"Of course you can."
Liang Yan smiled slightly and followed Du Shang through the hall, twisting and turning in the inner courtyard of Lingbao Pavilion, and finally walked into an antique elegant room.
After both of them entered the room, Du Shang turned around and asked directly: "The Li Xiran that the senior just mentioned, please forgive me for being stupid, but I really don't know who this is? I wonder if the senior can tell me directly."
As soon as Du Shang finished speaking, there was a bang! behind Liang Yan. It turned out that the two doors of the room were closed from the inside.
Faced with this sudden change, Liang Yan seemed to have expected it. At this moment, he put his hands behind his back and did not look at Du Shang. Instead, he stared at a screen in the room and said with a smile: "Since Taoist friends sincerely invite you, what's the matter?"
Why don’t you show up and talk about it?”
"Huh?"
There was a whisper from behind the screen, and then the screen opened, revealing a woman in white palace clothes. This woman looked to be in her early twenties, but her cultivation was truly in the middle stage of foundation building. Liang Yan glanced at
, I saw that she has an exquisite appearance and is well-dressed. She is the type that makes people fall in love with her at a glance.
When Du Shang saw this woman, he immediately bowed to her and said, "This senior said he recognized Uncle Li. This junior did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so I brought him to you."
"I know, you go down first." The woman in palace clothes nodded and gave instructions to Du Shang.
"Yes!" Du Shang bowed respectfully before walking out of the room.
At this time, the woman in palace clothes had turned to look at Liang Yan, with a half-smile expression on her face and said: "Your Excellency's six senses are so strong, it's a bit unexpected. I didn't expect that I tried my best to control my breath, but I still couldn't.
You noticed it. I don’t know what to call my friend, so what’s the point of coming to my Lingbao Pavilion?”
"Liang Yan."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Liang." The woman in palace attire smiled slightly and said, "I am Liu Jing, a disciple of the Wenxiang Sect and in charge of the Lingbao Pavilion in the Kingdom of Wu."
"As expected!" Liang Yan nodded and said, "This Lingbao Pavilion is all under the unified jurisdiction of Wenxiang Sect. I didn't expect that although Wenxiang Sect is a sect of Zhao State, it has extended its hands to Wu State."
After Liu Jing heard this, she said nonchalantly: "Wenxiang Sect is a sect that does business, so naturally it is not limited to one country. Didn't you come to Lingbao Pavilion just to inquire about our sect?
Secret, right?”
"Of course not!" Liang Yan said sternly: "Actually, Li Xiran, Nangong Xiaomei and others from Guizong and I can be considered friends. I came here today because I actually want to consult fellow Taoists about something."
Liu Jing said calmly: "It turned out to be asking for information. We Wenxiang Sect is open for business, so we naturally have our own intelligence network in private. As long as you pay the reward, I guarantee you will get the answer you want."
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded and said: "I'll be honest, I want to find two targets, one is a person and the other is a sect. This person must be a master of alchemy and can refine a large number of sword-raising pills in a short period of time. As for this
The sect must belong to the three realms of corpse, ghost, and demon, and it must be at least a medium-sized sect. I want the internal information of this sect, the more detailed the better!"
"Sword-raising pill?" Liu Jing raised her eyebrows, looked at Liang Yan again, and then said softly: "I didn't expect that you are still a sword cultivator! But no matter how good you are, our Wenxiang Sect's rules are still
Be careful. Before asking for information, you have to pay half of the deposit."
"How many?"
Liu Jing smiled slightly, stretched out five green jade fingers towards him and said: "Five hundred spirit stones!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face darkened, and he said slightly angrily: "Your Excellency, you must have opened your mouth! Just two pieces of news, do you need a thousand spiritual stones?"
"Is it much?" Liu Jing's eyes moved to her slender fingers, and after a long while she said leisurely: "Not much at all. It is a taboo to reveal the secrets of other people's sects. If this sect knows it, it will be a big deal.
I’m sorry. I’ll accept you a thousand spiritual stones for the sake of Junior Sister Li!”
Liang Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and saw five hundred spirit stones neatly stacked on the table in front of Liu Jing.
"These are deposits. I hope your news will not disappoint Liang!" Liang Yan touched the storage bag around his waist and said with some pain.
"Haha, of course!" Liu Jing smiled and put the spirit stones on the table into her pocket, and then said: "Actually, it's a coincidence that the two targets you are looking for are actually in the same place!"
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"
"There is Changning Mountain eight hundred miles east of Zhiyuan City. There are two sects on the mountain. One of them is called the 'Tomb of the Dead' and the other is called the 'Evil Doctor Valley'. The one you are looking for can be found in
The person who refined a large amount of sword-raising pills in a short period of time lives in this 'Evil Doctor Valley'!"
"Evil Doctor Valley?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you kidding me, fellow Taoist Liu? Since we monks entered the path of immortality, how can we, the monks, suffer from aging, sickness and death like ordinary mortals? Since there is no birth, aging, sickness and death, how can there be any doctors?"
"You don't know something about this!" Liu Jing shook her head and said: "This 'medicine' is not that 'medicine'. Although we monks will not grow old, sick and die like ordinary people, in our daily practice and fighting, we often
Some accidents occur, which lead to hidden dangers and affect my future cultivation. Naturally, the Valley of Evil Doctors is the place that can help people solve this problem."
"Is there such a thing?" Liang Yan asked doubtfully.
"Everything I said is true. This 'Evil Doctor Valley' is a bit special. It is said to be a single lineage. All magical powers are only passed on to descendants. They never recruit disciples with other surnames. Nowadays, the population seems to have withered away. However,
The Valley Master’s alchemy skills are unparalleled in the Wu Kingdom! I’m afraid even ten furnaces of refining a mere sword-raising elixir won’t yield a useless elixir!”
"In that case, do you have any detailed information about this valley owner, such as his preferences or rules?" Liang Yan asked again.
Liu Jing shook her head apologetically and said: "I'm afraid this will disappoint Fellow Taoist Liang. The 'Evil Doctor Valley' is a single lineage and is a very mysterious sect in the entire Wu Kingdom. Don't say that our Wenxiang Sect doesn't know about him.
Likes, even if you ask other forces, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out anything. But that's it."
"But what?" Liang Yan asked.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist Liang, don't be anxious! Although I don't know the preferences of this Valley Master, I do know some of his rules."
"Oh? Tell me!"
Liu Jing cleared her throat and said: "First of all, Evil Doctor Valley does not treat everyone who comes to the door. He only solves hidden dangers for one person every year, and charges a lot of money. Secondly, this valley owner once established the 'three no-doctors', which are not to build
Those who have basic skills will not be treated, those who practice the corpse method will not be treated, and those named Gongsun will not be treated! And if fellow Taoist Liang asks him to make elixirs, I am afraid he will not be able to escape these three rules."
