Chapter 174: Blackmail
Most of the spirit beast cars in Tianque City were rented by the sect to some low-level monks to make a living, although the old man said that those sects recorded the information of teenagers when they rented out, but it was not easy to know from the other party's mouth.
It was also because of this concern that the old man hesitated. With the old man's humble cultivation, he couldn't see Li Yuan's cultivation realm, so he was worried that Li Yuan would return in vain.
After all, although those sects that rent out spirit beast cars are all small sects, there is no benefit or not enough cultivation to make the other party succumb, and the other party may not confide in half a sentence.
"I don't know if you know which sect my nephew's spirit beast car was rented from?" Small sects, Li Yuan didn't pay attention to them, and in this Tianque City, those small sects were unlikely to send Jindan Stage elders to run shops here, at most, they were just deacons in the foundation building period.
"Of course I know! The spirit beast cars rented by different sects have their own different markings, which is very easy to confirm! Xiao Lao remembers that the spirit beast car rented by his nephew in his previous life was rented in the shop operated by the Spirit Beast Mountain. The old man said it without hesitation, obviously very familiar with the spirit beast cars rented by various sects.
"In that case, you can take me to the shop where the Spirit Beast Mountain rents the Spirit Beast Car!" Li Yuan nodded and said.
"Okay, senior!" the old man promised, and then drove the spirit beast cart to turn around and hurried towards the commercial area.
The shop operated by Spirit Beast Mountain is called Yibeast Pavilion, which is located on the edge of the commercial area of Tianque City.
Spirit Beast Mountain, as the name suggests, is a sect that is good at the art of beast control, but unfortunately the demon beasts of the outer land are very rare, except for some sects deliberately kept in captivity, it is almost difficult to find second-order or more demon beasts.
This has also led to the fact that a sect dominated by royal beasts like Spirit Beast Mountain is difficult to rise in the outer continent at all, and can only barely maintain that the sect will not completely decay.
The old man drove the spirit beast car, carrying Li Yuan through the streets and alleys at high speed, and finally came to the door of the Yi Beast Pavilion after about half an hour's effort.
Jumping off the spirit beast car, Li Yuan took out ten low-level spirit stones, handed them to the old man and said, "Thank you, this is your reward!"
The old man took it overjoyed, saluted Li Yuan, and thanked, "Thank you, senior!"
You can earn ten spirit stones after one run, which is like good luck for the old man, but ten spirit stones are insignificant to Li Yuan, and with a wave of his hand, Li Yuan said:
"Alright, let's get busy!
The old man understood what Li Yuan meant, and looked at Li Yuan's back walking towards the Yi Beast Pavilion, he bowed down again and said, "I wish the seniors a smooth trip!"
After watching for a while, it was not until Li Yuan entered the Yi Beast Pavilion that the old man jumped into the spirit beast car and slowly drove into the distance.
The Yi Beast Pavilion, entered by the gate, is a wide hall, and there are many messy commodities in the hall, such as magic weapons and pills, but the grade is slightly lower.
Obviously, the business operated by Yi Beast Pavilion is not mainly based on the goods in the hall, and these things in the hall are just some incidental goods that increase popularity.
"Welcome seniors to our store, we sell all kinds of spirit animals in the store, what needs do the seniors may wish to tell the small, the small ones recommend one or two for the seniors. ”
As soon as he entered the door, before Li Yuan had time to take a closer look, an attendant who practiced qi cultivation ran over in a hurry. And quickly introduced.
"I don't have any plans to buy spirit beasts, but I want to find out some news, I don't know if it's okay?"
Li Yuan didn't have much interest in spirit beasts, he was only here to inquire about information, since there were attendants who came to ask, he simply asked directly.
The attendant was immediately disappointed, but the person who came was a guest, so naturally he couldn't treat him coldly because of this, and the attendant was also very curious in his heart, why did this senior come here to inquire about the news?
"I wonder what news the senior wants to inquire about?" the attendant asked with a smile after recovering from his disappointment.
"That's right, one of my sons and nephews once rented a spirit beast car in your store, and his father entrusted this son to me before he died, but I don't know his specific residence in the city, so I came to your store to ask one or two. Li Yuan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating again, and he repeated his previous remarks.
"Don't hide it from your predecessors, you can't do it for a small amount of leakage of customer information. The abrupt look on the squire's face flickered, and then a look of embarrassment turned into one.
"Then I don't know who can call the shots? Why don't you report this matter to the person who can call the shots, and after the matter is completed, I will be grateful!" Li Yuan smiled faintly and said.
"There must be a heavy thanks?It's a joke, if this matter gets out, how can I, Yi Beast Pavilion, do business in Tianque City?" Before the attendant could speak, a mocking voice came from the side of the hall in vain.
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and when he looked around, he saw a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and a pimple on his face, who was slowly walking with disdain on his face.
"I've seen Deacon Xu!" The attendant saw the middle-aged man, like a mouse seeing a cat, and his whole body was excited, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Alright, you go down first! I'll take care of this matter. Deacon Xu waved his hand impatiently and said directly.
The attendant hesitated for a moment, this deacon Xu had just arrived from the sect, and he had no authority to deal with the affairs of the store, but when he thought of this person's notoriety, the attendant still reluctantly chose to give in, and slowly retreated to the side of the counter in the hall.
"Is it that you want to find out about the information of the customers in my store?" After the attendant retreated, Deacon Xu looked at Li Yuan meaningfully and asked lightly.
"Yes, if you are willing to let me know, I can pay the price in exchange. Li Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he said as usual.
Deacon Xu smiled meaningfully, and then said, "It's not impossible to tell you, but I don't know what price you are willing to pay?"
I swore before that what was the impact of this matter, and now I have such an attitude, is this the rhythm of the lion's mouth?
Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little speechless, if it cost a little, he would naturally be willing, but if the lion opened his mouth, Li Yuan didn't mind playing with this person.
"Then I don't know what kind of price your store wants, you might as well say it bluntly!" Li Yuan replied quietly.
"If you are sincere, give a thousand spirit stones first!" said Deacon Xu without thinking.
Li Yuan suddenly sneered in his heart, the news of a thousand spirit stones, in exchange for a low-level qi cultivator, is simply a big joke, it seems that this person's greed is unexpected!
Without saying a word, Li Yuan took out ten medium-grade spirit stones, handed them to the other party, and then said, "How is it? Now you can help me check it!"
Seeing that Li Yuan was so simple, Deacon Xu was stunned, and then his eyes rolled, so he said with a look of difficulty: "Although a thousand spirit stones is not a small amount, compared to the reputation of my Spirit Beast Mountain, it is far from enough!"
Li Yuan didn't expect the other party to keep his promise, so there was no surprise about it.
"Then I don't know how many spirit stones are enough? ”
Pretending to be silent, Deacon Xu stared at Li Yuan, then stretched out his five fingers and said, "This number!"
Li Yuan listened to it and threw it casually again, and fifty medium-grade spirit stones immediately flew out, and instantly flew in front of Deacon Xu, Deacon Xu saw this scene, and immediately smiled.
Such an inconspicuous monk can take out five thousand spirit stones at will, which is indeed beyond his expectations, you know, it is rare for a monk to be able to take out five thousand spirit stones.
Full of joy, Deacon Xu hurriedly put away the spirit stone.
"Can you check it out for me now!" at the same time, Li Yuan asked again.
Of course, Deacon Xu would not do what Li Yuan wanted, and even if he wanted to check, he would not have that authority.
He was just blackmailing this time, after all, the other customers were all selecting spirit beasts in the backyard. In the hall, apart from him, there was only the attendant and the monk in front of him.
"What are you inquiring about?" said Xu Zhi blankly. The spirit stone has already arrived, and now it is only necessary to send away this foundation building monk who is a loose cultivator.
"Are you clearly blackmailing?" asked Li Yuan expressionlessly.
"What do you mean by this, Daoyou? My Spirit Beast Mountain has been able to operate this shop for hundreds of years, relying on integrity, you slander my sect so much, don't you take my Spirit Beast Mountain in your eyes?" Deacon Xu's face turned cold and threatened.
"Do you think you're going to eat me?" Li Yuan smiled angrily.
"As soon as you are distracted, don't you still want to rebel against the sky? I advise you to recognize your own situation, this is the territory of my Spirit Beast Mountain. Not to mention that my Spirit Beast Mountain now has a Jindan Elder sitting here, even if I can easily solve it. ”
"Really?" As he spoke, Li Yuan's entire momentum changed, and a coercion like the late stage of Jindan instantly spread, and under his deliberate control, the entire Yi Beast Pavilion was enveloped.
In the backyard of Yi Beast Pavilion, a young man with a personable demeanor and extraordinary aura pointed to a snow-white spirit fox in the iron fence, and asked the beautiful woman next to him:
"Senior Sister Ouyang, how about this spirit fox, if you like it, I will buy it and give it to you. ”
Senior Sister Ouyang obviously didn't appreciate it, she was silent, she just shook her head slightly, and rejected the young man's kindness.
If Li Yuan was here, he would definitely know these two people. This young man is Yao Wenxuan of Yuanwu Sect, and the other person is also Ouyang Qing, who has a grudge against Li Yuan.
"Since Miss Ouyang doesn't like it, I'll take you to see the other spirit beasts again!" Seeing this, the deacon of Spirit Beast Mountain on the side hurriedly suggested with a smile.
But before Yao Wenxuan and the two could reply, the coercion that belonged to the Jindan period monks was instantly permeated, and several people suddenly snorted, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of their mouths.
And the other customers who selected spirit beasts nearby also had the same situation, those attendants who couldn't cultivate to build a foundation even lay directly on the ground, unable to move at all.
"What's going on?"
In a house not far away, Hou Liang, an elder of the Spirit Beast Mountain Jindan Period who arrived here not long ago, was shocked the moment he felt this coercion.
Under this huge coercion, Hou Liang broke through the door and hurried towards the front hall. Seeing this scene, Yao Wenxuan and the deacon of Spirit Beast Mountain endured the pain and followed.
Yao Wenxuan also wanted to step forward to help Ouyang Qing, but when he touched Ouyang Qing's stern eyes, he had to give up.
