I just want to be a quiet man

However, with the identity of the other party, there are not many people who can let him come here to deliver a message in person!

Turning her mind, Zhou Miaoli also asked via voice transmission: "Who? What are you talking about?"

"Pei Ling wants to buy a piece of the medicine fairy's hair from you." Mo Zhenyi's voice sounded again, "This is the deposit he gave."

At the same time, on the railing in front of Zhou Miaoli, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air.

Pei Ling?

Zhou Miaoli's expression remained unchanged, and she quickly thought of the fact that she had promised that before the Liugai Dynasty's alchemy ceremony, as long as Pei Ling helped her pass the audition, government examination, county examination, palace examination...and finally enter "Xiaozizaitian". Then they will share a piece of hair from the medicine fairy to the other party.

However, the situation was urgent at that time, and it was a blessing to be able to succeed smoothly, so naturally there was no time to fulfill the promise.

And then...

After all, it's not something important, she has long forgotten it.

Right now, the other party specially asked Mo Zhenyi to come over to give her a message, most likely because they waited for nothing, and worried that she would regret it...

Thinking of this, Zhou Miaoli raised her hand to pick up the jade bottle, and before she opened it, she heard Mo Zhenyi continue to say: "Pei Ling also said that if the true biography agrees, we will meet and discuss in detail in Wanfei Haifang City."

"The old man's words have been brought, farewell."

Zhou Miaoli nodded invisibly, and did not reply, but opened the jade bottle, and suddenly, a strong and strange fragrance of Dan came out.

It is a top-grade pill.

She immediately judged the grade of the elixir, then dumped the bottle, held the elixir between her fingers, and looked at it carefully.

The appearance of this elixir looks very strange, Zhou Miaoli has never seen it before.

But on the surface of the elixir, there is a line of small characters artificially engraved: "Enlightenment Heart Tongqiao Pill, increase aptitude and understanding, come to the sea of ​​thousands."

Chapter 276: "Happy Pavilion".

A pill to increase aptitude and understanding?

This is indeed precious.

However, if you really want to exchange the elixir for the hair of the medicine fairy, you shouldn't engrave it.

What is the effect of this pill, Zhou Miaoli will find someone to identify it.

Right now, the other party has not only engraved the words, but also specially left the location... The real purpose of the other party is to meet her once!

While thinking about it, Zhou Miaoli put away the elixir, and then pondered in her heart, should I go or not?

She and Pei Ling cooperated once in the Liugai Dynasty last time, and she was quite satisfied with Pei Ling's cooperation.

But the other party was Li Lieyue's subordinate after all, she couldn't believe in him just because of one mission.

Based on the grievances between her and Li Lieyue, and the fact that Li Lieyue has been a saint for a while, she must have freed up her hands to prepare for her.

It was only because of the merits of the medicine fairy that Si Hongshi protected her, and she herself stayed at home, so Li Lieyue had no chance for the time being.

If at this time, I leave the sect and go to the Sea of ​​Thousands...

Thinking of this, Zhou Miaoli shook her head slightly, Li Lieyue's temperament was arrogant, and she should disdain to use such small tricks.

Pei Ling's meeting with her this time probably has nothing to do with Li Lieyue.

However, if you really only want to get some hair from the medicine fairy from her, there is no need to ask Mo Zhenyi to come over and pass on a message to her...

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Miaoli called her personal maid to come to her: "Go and inquire about all the movements of Li Lieyue and Pei Ling during this period of time!"

The maid bowed her knees and said, "Yes!"

Soon, Zhou Miaoli received a notice: "Saint Li has been retreating in that palace for a while."

"As for Pei Ling, the servant girl just sent a disciple to Cuilei Mountain to pay a visit. Although he did see him sitting on the top, but the disciple asked a few simple questions about alchemy, but the other party didn't care. As for the others, I seem to know nothing about it... I suspect that it was transformed by his pet Xuehu, not the real one!"

Hearing this, Zhou Miaoli nodded slightly, and ordered: "Continue to stare at the palace."

"If Li Lieyue leaves the customs, notify me immediately!"

She decided to wait and see for three days.

Three days later, if Li Lieyue was still practicing in seclusion, it must be Pei Ling who wanted to see her alone, and it was probably something urgent.

Of course, it has nothing to do with Pei Ling if she is in a hurry.

But considering the opponent's cultivation potential and alchemy skills, this is a very good opportunity!

However, if there is any change in Li Lieyue's side within these three days, she will not take any risks.

※※※

A few days later, Pei Ling, who was full of travel and dust, stepped into Wanfuhaifang City again.

He walked around the market first, and then went straight to the shop where he bought the dress last time.

The business of this shop seems to have been good all the time, and there is an endless stream of monks coming in and out.

Pei Ling was wearing [Blood Faceless], and the person who transformed this time was a casual cultivator with a straight nose and a straight mouth.

As soon as he stepped into the shop, a charmingly dressed female cultivator immediately came out to greet him.

"This fellow Taoist, do you need something for dual cultivation?" The female nun's tone was gentle, and every frown and smile was full of a kind of charm that wanted to refuse and welcome.

She skillfully introduced the goods around to Pei Ling, perhaps seeing Pei Ling's dull expression, she hinted that there were better ones inside.

The sales rhetoric is similar to last time, and it may be a unified caliber.

After looking at a few things, Pei Ling secretly summoned his divine sense and cast [Ghost Flame Breaks the Delusion].

Soon, in his spiritual perception, all the goods in this shop were wrapped in a thick layer of black mist.

At this moment, the female cultivator enthusiastically brought a scarlet dress and showed it to Pei Ling: "This is the most fashionable style of Tianshengjiao now..."

When Pei Ling heard the words, his mind moved, and he focused on it with [You Yan Breaks the Delusion].

Soon, he discovered that this dress was the same as the one he bought before. Since the time of refining, some means had been added, which seemed to interfere with the mind. Cultivators, regardless of gender, practiced after wearing it, and the consequences would be disastrous... …

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist?" The female cultivator's question interrupted Pei Ling's thoughts.

"Let's think about it." Pei Ling said calmly. As he spoke, he secretly cast [Ghost Flame Breaking the Delusion] on the female cultivator in front of him. Afterwards, he discovered that the female cultivator looked glamorous and beautiful on the outside, but she was seriously lacking in energy and spirit. , is almost an empty shell.

Moreover, the whole body's breath is mixed, it can be said that it is extremely filthy... This famous furnace!

So, Pei Ling asked calmly, "Who is the owner of your shop?"

"I just came here, but I don't know much about it." The female cultivator smiled and prevaricated, "If you don't like this one, can I get you another one?"

Seeing that she refused to say more, Pei Ling nodded slightly and said, "I've been shy recently, so let's talk about it later."

After speaking, he turned and left.

After leaving this shop, he went around in a circle, changed his appearance again, and went to "Zhou Ji Pharmacy".

The business situation of the pharmacy is obviously not very good, no one comes in and out, it is very deserted.

Seeing Pei Ling enter, it was actually Xiangxia who greeted her personally: "Fellow Daoist wants to..."

Before the words fell, Pei Ling urged the deed to reveal his identity secretly.

Xiangxia was startled, and immediately welcomed him in and served tea: "I didn't know the master came, please forgive me."

"It's okay." Pei Ling ordered, "Try to find a way to check the 'Huanxi Pavilion' in Fangshi."

"Everything about it, especially the master behind it."

Xiangxia was a little surprised, but immediately responded: "Yes!"

Watching her retreat, Pei Ling's face turned cold immediately.

First investigate the details of this "Huanxi Pavilion".

Then, settle the accounts carefully!

After dealing with this matter, he walked into the practice room at the back.

Early the next morning, just after Pei Ling finished training, Xiangxia came to report, "Master, the 'Huanxi Pavilion' was opened ten years ago."

"At that time, the Lord of the Holy Sect's supervisory hall came to the sea of ​​thousands of pigs in person for the matter of Han Sigu, and the momentum of the Holy Way rose sharply."

"The master behind the 'Huanxi Pavilion' is a disciple of the Tiansheng Sect. He took the opportunity to seize some properties and opened the 'Huanxi Pavilion'."

"However, the subordinate is incompetent. He can only confirm that he is indeed a member of the Tiansheng Cult, but he doesn't know anything about his specific identity."

"In addition, what can be determined is that this person's cultivation is at least above the alchemy stage."

"Before, there was a famous casual cultivator in the alchemy stage who made trouble in the 'Huanxi Pavilion', but disappeared without a sound the next day. All the disciples under his knees were refined into furnaces and became the servants of the 'Huanxi Pavilion'..."

Hearing this, Pei Ling ordered: "Continue to investigate! Don't be stingy with the spirit stone pill, until you find out the true identity of the owner behind it."

"Yes!" Xiangxia quickly responded.

Pei Ling asked again: "The situation of the pharmacy doesn't seem to be very good now?"

"Respond to the master's words." Xiangxia heard the words and quickly explained, "The spirit stones earned these days are all stored in the underground secret room. I have checked the account book again and again, and there is no discrepancy!"

"Besides... since the Zhou family hasn't delivered pills for a long time, the pharmacy is seriously out of stock, and the business has indeed suffered a lot..."

"Fortunately, there are still some medicinal materials in the warehouse, which should last for a while."

Xu was worried that Pei Ling would blame her for not speaking earlier, and then explained, "These days, I have contacted the master many times with the sound transmission talisman, but I still can't get in touch, so I don't dare to make up my own mind, I can only maintain the status quo... Please punish the master!"

Hearing this, Pei Ling was noncommittal and said, "Bring me the account book."

Xiangxia quickly took out a jade slip from the storage pouch and held it in both hands.

Chapter 277: Pharmacy situation.

Pei Ling habitually checked with [You Yan Po Deluan Jian], and only browsed the records after confirming that there was no problem.

After watching for a while, he probably understood the situation.

When the pharmacy was still in Zhou Miaoli's hands, the Zhou family would provide a large amount of medicinal materials and pills every month. In addition, Xiangxia was well-run, so the pharmacy earned dozens of top-grade spirit stones every month. .

But after it was in his hands, the Zhou family cut off the supply, and the income plummeted.

Last month's income was only a little over a hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

This is still relying on some inventory.

The records that followed went from bad to worse.

In addition, there are many huge expenditures on the ledger, which are all used for the acquisition of rare natural materials and earth treasures, as well as some more sought-after cultivation resources...

After checking the accounts, Pei Ling said, "Take me to the warehouse."

"Yes!" Xiangxia nodded quickly.

The warehouse of the pharmacy is located underground, surrounded by formations and runes as protection.

The warehouse is divided into two rooms, one is used to store various goods; the other is used to stack spirit stones.

Xiangxia first opened the Lingshi warehouse and led Pei Ling in.

In this warehouse, spirit stones are piled up like a mountain, and there is hardly any place to step down, which looks very spectacular.

But if you look carefully, you will find that most of them are low-grade spirit stones.

The second is the middle-grade spirit stones, and there are only a few top-grade spirit stones.

Pei Ling was not surprised by this. Wanfei Haifang City was a place where casual cultivators gathered, and most of the casual cultivators were hovering at low-level cultivation bases, and low-grade spirit stones were the mainstream currency.

He scanned the spirit stones in the entire warehouse with his spiritual sense, and nodded slightly after confirming that the number matched the account book.

"Master, please check it." Xiangxia folded her hands on her lower abdomen and said softly. In the past, the Zhou family would send people to collect the spirit stones every month.

After Pei Ling took charge, this was the second time it appeared.

As a mermaid who signed the contract, she didn't dare to step into the Chongming Sect's territory without her master's permission. Naturally, she couldn't take the initiative to send the spirit stone to Pei Ling.

Now that Pei Ling came here, she happened to take it away, saving her from worrying about what happened to these spirit stones every day, and she couldn't explain it.

However, Pei Ling shook her head slightly when she heard the words.

There are so many low-grade spirit stones, it takes up too much space in the storage bag, and he does not lack spirit stones at hand, so there is no need to bring them.

What's more, "Zhou Ji Pharmacy" will use this spirit stone next.

"It's not urgent." Pei Ling said, "Go and see the inventory."
