Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"Are you saying that the God-Seeking Pavilion is still in the White Bone Market?!"

After Li Lin's explanation, it was Shen Kuo's turn to lose his composure.

You know, he has always believed that he personally reviews the payments from every merchant in Baigufang City, and there is absolutely no possibility of omissions.

It would have been fine if something went wrong in the market during the time he was imprisoned by the Netherworld Demon Sect.

Now tell him that there has always been a shop in the White Bone Market before he was imprisoned, and it has never paid rent to Wangu Mountain. How can Shen Kuo, who claims to run Wangu Mountain in an orderly manner, accept this! ?

"Quick, take us to the God-Seeking Pavilion immediately!"

Shen Kuo's face looked a little ugly, and he gave instructions to Li Lin.

Li Lin, who was already feeling nervous because of Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai, was now completely stunned by Shen Kuo's sudden shock. He stammered, not knowing how to start the conversation.

Fortunately, the sensitive Mu Huairou noticed Li Lin's embarrassment, and hurried forward, tugged at Shen Kuo's sleeve, signaling him not to lose his composure.

Only then did Shen Kuo realize how rude his reaction just now was. He smiled awkwardly at Li Lin and said apologetically.

"Sorry, I lost my composure for a moment. Please speak slowly."

Although Li Lin was shocked by Shen Kuo's loss of composure, he naturally did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in the face of these senior masters.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then spoke respectfully.

"You don't have to apologize, senior. I understand how you feel."

"Mishenxuan is indeed still in the market town, and I also know its current location."

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao realized that he shouldn't push too hard. He smiled slightly and said to Li Lin.

"Li Lin, don't be nervous."

"As long as you lead us to find Mishenxuan and do a good job, I can reward you like I rewarded your great-grandfather."

After all, he is a young man at heart. After hearing the reward Zhou Yiqiao mentioned, his eyes, which were full of fear just now, were instantly filled with excitement.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou. I will do my best. Please follow me."

After saying that, Li Lin led everyone across the Baigu Market. They moved quickly in the market, passing through the bustling crowd, and finally came to a seemingly ordinary restaurant.

The restaurant's facade was unremarkable, but Li Lin led everyone directly into the restaurant and up to the second floor.

At a corner on the second floor, everyone walked three more steps and arrived at a wall at the end.

Li Lin motioned for everyone to wait for a moment, then walked to the wall and formed a strange palm print with his hands.

As his handprints changed, the space on the wall seemed to produce a subtle fluctuation.

This fluctuation was so subtle that mortals could hardly detect it with the naked eye, but as a cultivator, Nobody was able to keenly capture this fluctuation.

Li Lin nodded to Zhou Yiqiao and his group, then went in first.

The moment he passed through the wall, the space fluctuated again, and Li Lin's figure disappeared.

Seeing Li Lin enter, Shen Kuo took the lead, muttering something.

"I want to see who dares not pay the rent under my nose."

His figure followed Li Lin and stepped into the fluctuating space.

Zhou Yiqiao, Gu Changsheng, Mu Huairou and Li Mubai looked at each other, then followed closely and stepped into the mysterious space.

As they entered, the spatial fluctuations on the wall gradually subsided and finally returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Passing through that mysterious space fluctuation, they came to a completely different world.

This is a secret space hidden under the White Bone Market. Various formations and restrictions are arranged around it, completely blocking this world, and not even a trace of spiritual energy can escape.

Before Zhou Yiqiao and the other three had time to marvel at the exquisiteness of the formation here, they saw Shen Kuo taking the lead and entering the only exquisite building in the center of the space.

A few people were afraid that Shen Kuo would cause trouble, so they hurriedly followed him and entered the building.

The interior space of the building is not large, but it is very delicately arranged and looks very comfortable.

The first floor of the shop was unattended. As they climbed up the stairs, they saw a beautiful and plump female cultivator lying on a bamboo couch and resting.

The female cultivator was dressed just as Zhou Yiqiao remembered, a long black gauze skirt with a black silk ribbon tied around her waist, revealing her smooth shoulders.

Her face was covered with a veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

"Senior Gu, these seniors said they have a history with you, so I took the liberty to bring them here."

Li Lin stood in front of the bamboo couch and said in a low voice.

The woman on the bamboo couch seemed to be woken up by Li Lin. She frowned slightly, then slowly sat up.

"Oh? Old ones?"

Her voice was cold and lazi, as if she had just woken up from a long dream and was somewhat alienated from everything around her.

Shen Kuo took a step forward and questioned sternly.

"Are you the owner of Mishenxuan?"

"Why have I never seen you, nor have I ever received rent from you?"

The woman smiled softly, and there was an inexplicable rhythm in her voice that made people's hearts flutter.

"Shen Kuo, you were still a little kid when I first met you, but now you dare to talk back to me."

Hearing the other party calling out his name all of a sudden, Shen Kuo was stunned. He carefully observed through the veil for a long time, but could not find a figure similar to the female cultivator in front of him.

"you know me?"

Shen Kuo was afraid that he would offend someone he shouldn't, so he asked hesitantly without his previous arrogance.

Unexpectedly, the woman ignored Shen Kuo and walked right past him and appeared in front of Zhou Yiqiao.

"Did you give him the sachet I asked you to pass on to Baili Jing?"

Zhou Yiqiao felt a chill on his back as the woman's watery eyes stared at him, and he answered honestly.

"I hope you will forgive me, Senior. I have never met my senior brother, so..."

The woman snorted coldly, and everyone suddenly felt an invisible pressure enveloping the surroundings, and the air seemed to become three degrees colder.

“Never handed it over?”

The woman's voice was low and cold, like a chill wind blowing through the hall, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart tightened and he bowed quickly, with a bit of fear and self-blame in his tone.

"I have indeed been negligent, please forgive me, senior."

"The elder brother's whereabouts are unknown, and I have been working hard to find him in order to complete the task entrusted by you."

The woman's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was weighing the truthfulness of Zhou Yiqiao's words.

After a moment, she slowly exhaled, and the depressing atmosphere was slightly relieved.

"Forget it. I know his character better than anyone else. You can't be blamed."

"Since you have come all the way here, you must have something important to ask for. Tell me."

The woman lay back on the couch, her tone returning to the aloof tone she had at the beginning.

Zhou Yiqiao felt relieved when he heard that, and he quickly told the purpose of his trip, from the dire situation of his senior brothers and sisters to his urgency to find Baili Jing, he did not dare to hide a single word.

After hearing Zhou Yiqiao's explanation, the woman who had just laid down slammed the table and stood up again. It was unclear whether she was angry for them or for Baili Jing not contacting her for all these years.

"You are such a good bastard, Baili Jing. It's ok that you hide yourself and dare not see me on weekdays, but you actually stood by and watched your fellow junior brothers and sisters encounter such a misfortune!"

"It's really a waste of my love for him!"

There was a hint of anger and unwillingness in the woman's words. She stood up and paced back and forth. Her black skirt swayed gently with her steps, highlighting her graceful figure.

Zhou Yiqiao and others were stunned as they listened, and they were secretly wondering about the relationship between the owner of Mishenxuan and Baili Jing.

"Senior, between you and my senior brother..."

Zhou Yiqiao asked cautiously, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

The woman stopped and looked at Zhou Yiqiao with sharp eyes. There was a deep meaning in her eyes, as if she was giving a warning.

"There are some things that you little brats shouldn't ask about."

"However, since you are here to find the Baili Mirror, I may be able to give you some clues."

After saying that, she took out an exquisite jade slip from her sleeve, threw it lightly, and it landed steadily in Zhou Yiqiao's hand.

"This jade slip contains some clues about Baili Jing's possible whereabouts and where he might go."

"As for whether you can find him, it depends on your luck."

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade slip with both hands and burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, senior! We will definitely try our best to find our senior brother and live up to your trust!"

The group nodded repeatedly and were about to say goodbye and leave. When they reached the door of the shop, they heard the woman's voice coming from upstairs.

"If you find Bailijing... help him tell him that if he doesn't come to see me again, I will pretend that he has never met me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao and his group bowed and gestured, then followed Li Lin and quickly left Mishenxuan, just as they had done when they came.

Only after seeing the sun over Baigufang City again did Shen Kuo finally dare to speak.

"I didn't expect that our senior brother would be so lucky."

"I just don't know, since this senior knows the whereabouts of our senior brother, why doesn't he go to find him himself, but instead asks us to do it for him?"

Gu Changsheng patted Shen Kuo on the head gently and said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. The relationship between this senior and the eldest brother is complicated. How can we just speculate?"

"If you really want to know the relationship between the senior and the eldest brother, then quickly follow the clues in the jade slip to find the eldest brother and ask him in person."

Shen Kuo rubbed his head that was hit, chuckled, and didn't say much.

Li Mubai, who had never spoken, looked at the jade slip in Zhou Yiqiao's hand and finally asked.

"Brother Zhou, it looks like you're going to stay and look for your senior brother?"

"Don't be fooled by the drunkard's carefree appearance. He is actually a serious person and always sticks to his word."

"He said he would give Brother Zhou three days, and he would not give him any leniency. Now there are only two days left. If Brother Zhou wants to return to the Sword Sect with us, he may not be able to do it himself."
