Chapter Forty-Eight: The Phantom Trail
"Your Wuxingmen also looks down on our Yaobentang too much, just with the medicine that comes out of our Yaobentang, which sect in the vicinity is not rushing to ask for it, do you think you don't want a discount to be very good, your Wuxingmen's neighbor Qixingmen, but you are willing to pay a price higher than one percent, just for a priority. Shopkeeper Li sneered.
What, the Seven Star Sect is willing to pay a price higher than one percent? Elder He was immediately shocked in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this time in the cooperation with the Medicine Sect, the Seven Star Gate was in the front again, which was very unfavorable to the Five Elements Gate, Elder He heard the news, and the previous anger had disappeared without a trace.
"Then did Guitang agree to cooperate with the Seven Star Sect?" Elder He hurriedly asked.
"If I agree, will I still talk to Elder He here? There are also several sects that have put forward their own conditions, and our Medicine Sect is still considering it. Shopkeeper Li said.
Shopkeeper Li was very cunning at this point, using the Seven Star Gate to put pressure on the Five Elements Gate, and the prices of other sects were not mentioned at all, although Elder He knew, there was nothing he could do.
"Can you wait a few more days, and wait for me to come back to the head of the Ming Sect to discuss?" Elder He said.
Having said that, there is nothing to say at this step, Yao Bentang just thinks that the price of the Five Elements Sect is too low, but if the price is raised again, Elder He does not have this authority, so Elder He can only go back to the head of the sect to discuss.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Shopkeeper Li bowed his hand slightly, which was the meaning of sending off guests.
Elder He had no choice but to take a few disciples out of the Medicine Hall, and now he found an inn near Nanshan Immortal City, ordered a few disciples to stay temporarily, and he hurried back to the door non-stop.
Shangguan Yanran, Lin Feihu, and Xiao Jingzhi usually concentrate on cultivation, and it is rare to have a spare time, and there is a burst of joy in their hearts, and they all go to Nanshan Immortal City to purchase the materials they need for cultivation, but only Yan Qingzong stays at home and still cultivates in the room of the inn.
When the three of them came to the Immortal Market, they immediately separated, each looking for the materials they needed, Shangguan Yanran walked around the Immortal Market for a while, remembering the rudeness of the Medicine Hall to the Five Elements Gate just now, and her heart was full of anger.
Although she is nominally Li Jinjiu's apprentice, it is Elder He of the Liangyi Hall who teaches her more to cultivate, Elder He can be called her teacher, if it is not for Elder He's teaching, even if she is amazingly talented, she will not be able to progress so fast after entering the inner gate, and quickly enter the inner door list.
Therefore, Shangguan Yanran was naturally grateful to Elder He, when she saw Elder He being humiliated in the Medicine Hall, she felt a burst of indignation in her heart, and until now, she was still angry, and while she was strolling around the immortal market, Shangguan Yanran suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind.
Hmph, since your medicine hall is such a stinky fart, you look down on Elder He, and look down on our Five Elements Gate, this girl simply quietly set fire to your medicine hall and burn it clean, see if you still dare to pay a high price!
Although Shangguan Yanran is a female disciple, as an inner disciple, she is also a surname who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she is usually flattered by other disciples in the sect.
There are still people coming and going in front of the medicine hall, and it is very lively, countless disciples of the foundation building period come and go, and even the predecessors of the various factions in the Jindan period have many who come to buy elixirs, as for the disciples of the qi refining stage, they are simply turned away due to the lack of progression, and they do not even have the opportunity to enter the door.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Yanran couldn't help but feel a little weak, setting fire in front of so many masters, whether the fire burned or not is one thing, the key is that after setting the fire to herself, there is no chance to retreat at all, once she is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable, and suddenly thought of Elder He's instructions before taking her out, it doesn't matter if you cause trouble, don't cause any trouble to Elder He.
Since the front door is too conspicuous here, it is better to go to the back door to take a look, Shangguan Yanran's heart moved.
Came to the back door of the Medicine Hall, the door here was closed, there was no one, with his back to the cliff, there was no one, Shangguan Yanran saw this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he knew that it was an opportunity, so he immediately took out a few fire charms from his arms, and prepared to approach quietly, ignite and leave.
It's just that at this time, the back door of the medicine hall suddenly creaked, and the door actually opened slowly.
Hey, luck won't be like this! Shangguan Yanran secretly said in her heart, would she be discovered as soon as she arrived at the back door.
Seeing that there was a mountain rock around, Shangguan Yanran quickly hid behind the mountain rock, and observed the situation in front of the door with the corner of her eye.
I saw two people suddenly come out of the back door of the Medicine Hall, one of them was an old man with bright eyes, he happened to face Shangguan Yanran's side, Shangguan Yanran saw it, and was suddenly a little surprised, this person himself had just met not long ago, and it was actually the shopkeeper Li of the Medicine Hall who made Elder He very unable to get off the stage and treated his party with a very arrogant attitude.
The other person, with his back to him, was thin, dressed very simply, and wore a brimmed hat, but at first glance he was a very young cultivator.
Why did this shopkeeper Li run to the back door, Shangguan Yanran was suddenly very strange, and what made Shangguan Yanran feel even more strange was that Shopkeeper Li behaved very respectfully in front of this young man.
I only heard the shopkeeper Li say, "Brother Zhang, the escape talisman in the small shop is just running out this time, I'm really sorry, I want you to run away in person when you return, and when you come next time, I will definitely prepare the escape talisman for you in advance." ”
The young man seemed to be a little unhappy, "Okay, forget it this time, next time you must remember to prepare the escape talisman, otherwise, I won't be too lazy to come to your medicine hall." ”
"That's, that's, how can you let Brother Zhang always walk!" shopkeeper Li said again and again.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yanran couldn't help but be curious when she thought of Elder He's cold reception in the Medicine Hall before.
This young man spoke so politely, and he actually made Shopkeeper Li so respectful, I am afraid that he is a disciple of a famous sect, maybe he is still a member of the sect with a very high status, such as the son of the head of the sect, who is worthy of such a big gift from Shopkeeper Li, Shangguan Yanran couldn't help but guess.
"Brother Zhang, if you come next time, please bring some Longyan grass, the store is almost out of stock. Shopkeeper Li pleaded.
"I'll think about it. The young man said noncommittally, and after speaking, he ignored the reaction of the shopkeeper Li, turned around and left.
"Brother Zhang walks slowly. Shopkeeper Li not only didn't dare to get angry, but also smiled behind him.
When Shangguan Yanran heard these words, she thought of the booming business of Yaobentang, and then looked at the attitude of Shopkeeper Li, and suddenly her heart moved, could it be that this young man is ......
