Hearing Chen Lin's question, the female shopkeeper shook her head.
"I'm not familiar with it. I was even rejected by the Fairy Tavern and couldn't enter."
After replying, she continued, "Some time ago, someone opened the colorful spiritual light of the wine pot, causing the tavern to close, which made a group of customers very sad. There are rumors that it might be you, Senior Chen, who did it. Later, the city discussed it for a long time, but the monster riot suppressed the heat."
"Oh? Is there such news? I wonder who spread it?"
Chen Lin pretended to be surprised and asked.
Besides Lord Black Snake, the middle-aged man who saw him emit the seven-colored spiritual light was also aware of it. The other party might be Lord Black Snake's man, so he had to be on guard.
The female shopkeeper shook her head again and said, "I don't know about this either. It's just a rumor. Besides, so much time has passed, and not many people are paying attention to this matter anymore."
She did not ask whether it was Chen Lin who did it. As a shopkeeper, she knew very well what to say and what not to say.
Chen Lin nodded, but did not continue the topic and started talking about other things.
After a while, he left the shop.
Then he wandered around the market town for a long time and finally found out some information.
The person who had bid for the last three pots of wine together with him and True Lord Black Snake was He Quanyi, the patriarch of the He family in the city. He was at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and the only Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator in the He family.
After learning this, he stopped paying attention to it.
As long as the other party is not a special person, it doesn't matter whether he is related to the Black Snake Master or not, and he doesn't pose much of a threat to him. No one knows that he killed the Black Snake Master, and the fact that he emitted the seven-colored spiritual light is just a big gimmick and will not attract the covetousness of others.
So don't worry about being found.
The most urgent task is to try to find the tavern owner. If we can't find her, there is no time to delay. The situation on Luo Qinglan's side is still unclear, so we have to return to the ruins immediately.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin took out a communication talisman and activated it, then walked into a spiritual food pavilion.
Soon, a figure arrived quickly. It was Bao Tianci, the genius of the Bao family who was met when the Seven Sons of God were killed.
"Hello, Senior Chen!"
After entering the private room, Bao Tianci first bowed to Chen Lin, then sat on the chair with a smile and said, "Senior, you have done a great thing, closing down the Fairy Tavern. According to what the proprietress said, anyone who opens the seven-color spiritual light can make any request to him. I wonder if you have got what you wished for?"
After saying this, she winked and made an expression that all men would understand.
Chen Lin had long experienced the other party's cynical character, and did not blame the other party for his disrespect. He smiled and shook his head.
"Do you think everyone is as lustful as you? I just asked for information about the ruins of the ancient country."
With the head of the He family present, it was normal for him to confirm that he was the one who opened the seven-colored spiritual light based on his identity, so he did not hide it.
The Bao family is a powerful Lianxu family in the city. The other party is a direct descendant of the Bao family and is said to be a peerless genius who can condense the Nascent Soul in less than a hundred years. He has an extraordinary status and can be on par with the God Transformation cultivators in the city.
When Bao Tianci heard Chen Lin's answer, he immediately showed an expression of wasting God's gift, and even a little angry and disappointed.
It seems that if Chen Lin was not at the level of a spirit being transformed, he would have taught him a lesson.
"What a shame, what a shame, what a shame!"
Bao Tianci sighed repeatedly, and finally he couldn't even sit still anymore. He stood up anxiously and walked back and forth on the ground.
Chen Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was really speechless. He didn't look like a Nascent Soul cultivator at all. He was even less cunning than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It was precisely because of the other party's eccentric personality that he had not had any contact with him since he came to Baiyu City. Such people are often synonymous with trouble.
After walking for a while, Bao Tianci sat down with a sigh and said, "Senior, you really have a will of steel. You can ignore the temptation of the boss lady. I really admire you. You know, those powerful masters in the city are all drooling over the boss lady!"
Chen Lin's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked, "If that's the case, then after the tavern closed, the whereabouts of the proprietress should be of great concern. Do you know where she went?"
Bao Tianci glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Senior, why are you still looking for that boss lady? You have already missed the opportunity. Since you have already made a request, it is impossible to think about other things. If you asked her to be your woman at that time, wouldn't it mean that you can ask for anything in the future?"
After saying that, he sighed again, as if he was the one who missed the opportunity.
Chen Lin ignored the other party's attitude and said seriously: "It's not as simple as you think. Some things can't be overdone. You will understand this principle slowly. Let's talk about business first. Do you know where the boss lady went?"
“That’s really unclear.”
Bao Tianci also became serious and continued, "After the tavern closed, many people were paying attention to him, but he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. You also disappeared some time ago, and some people suspected that he left with you, but now it seems that is not the case."
Chen Lin looked disappointed when he heard this.
The people here don't know the background of the tavern owner. They just think she is a beautiful and mysterious barmaid. Little do they know that she is most likely a powerful person in the realm of refining emptiness or even fusion. They just don't know whether she has recovered her original strength after leaving the ruins, and why she has opened a tavern in this small town for five hundred years.
But since I can't find the other party, the question of assimilation cannot be answered, so I can only enter the ruins to contact Gu Lianfeng.
After a pause, he asked, "Who owns the tavern now? Can we go in and check it out?"
Bao Tianci looked embarrassed and said, "The tavern is my Bao family's property, but the lease period has not yet expired and it still belongs to the proprietress. We are committing a big taboo by barging in without the owner's consent. If we are discovered, even my grandfather will not be able to cover it up and we will definitely be punished."
Chen Lin also knew that if a city wanted to develop, the safety of shops had to be guaranteed. However, he had to go to the tavern to take a look before he could give up. He also looked for the other party for this reason. The shops in the market town were all guarded by formations, so it would be impossible to break in by force.
After hesitating for a while, Bao Tianci gritted his teeth and said, "Senior saved my life, so this time I will repay you. I will go back and steal the spiritual treasure Breaking Array Pearl from my home, and then sneak over there at night."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!"
Chen Lin nodded happily.
After the two separated, he changed his appearance and continued to wander around the city, collecting information.
night.
Bao Tianci arrived as promised. The two of them used invisibility and slowly approached the Fairy Tavern.
The formation-breaking bead was extremely powerful and easily broke the formation of the tavern, and the two of them entered quietly.
The environment inside remains the same.
The tables, chairs, wine cabinet and bar are arranged the same as before, except that there are no wine jugs and the proprietress who attracts people at first sight.
"Senior, there is something strange here!"
Bao Tianci walked to the counter and saw a strange pattern on the wall. It looked like a wine glass. He had been here many times before and was very familiar with everything here, but he had never seen this pattern before. It was obviously newly painted.
He tried to stimulate it, but there was no response.
After seeing the pattern, Chen Lin walked over with a strange look on his face and touched it gently.
The pattern suddenly turned into a ball of light, and the shadow of the tavern owner appeared.
The shadow ignored Bao Tianci, glanced at Chen Lin, and said, "Tell Nan Mochu that the experiment is half successful. It's up to her whether she is willing to come out. Take the thing I gave you. It can save your life at the critical moment!"
