After a few breaths, Li Yan disappeared from the room.
The formation restriction in the inn room remained open, and no aura fluctuations emanated from it, as if no one had passed through the restriction and left, and of course no one noticed.
At this time, a ray of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky, and the whole town was still in a state of half-awake.
In the backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, the space suddenly distorted a little, and a gray figure between reality and illusion stood in the backyard.
The gray figure was Li Yan. He stood quietly in the backyard for a while with an expressionless face.
His spiritual consciousness did not sense anyone exploring this place, and the faint figure quickly disappeared and merged into the hazy morning sky.
In a bedroom in the backyard, a middle-aged man in black was breathing with his eyes closed, and spiritual energy was gently flowing around his body.
As he breathed, the spiritual energy expanded or contracted toward his body.
A faint demonic aura emanated from the middle-aged man in black. This demonic aura was extremely pure and was the authentic source of demonic power.
At this moment, a very faint shadow suddenly appeared behind the middle-aged man in black.
The middle-aged man in black was completely unaware of the presence of someone at such a close distance, and he continued to breathe slowly.
Li Yan looked at the middle-aged man in black with cold eyes. He could feel that the demonic energy emanating from the other person was different from those demon cultivators on the Desolate Moon Continent.
To be precise, unlike the demon cultivators of the Black Demon Clan, the demonic aura of the middle-aged man in black lacks the tyranny and bloodthirstiness, but gives people a heavy feeling.
"Is this the orthodox magic cultivation method? It is a special racial attack force that is similar to the demon race's demon energy.
Some magic weapons and inherited immortal arts can only be performed with the use of demonic energy, which is also one of the reasons why the demons and monsters are stronger than human cultivators.
Their magic energy and demon power can not only strengthen their bodies, but they can also use their spiritual power, magic energy, and demon power at the same time to perform different spells. "
Li Yan thought of the magic weapons of the demon clan on his body, but he couldn't use spiritual power at all.
After looking at the other person for less than a breath, Li Yan's spiritual sense quickly explored the room.
After about thirty breaths, Li Yan withdrew his spiritual sense with a strange look on his face.
“Nothing was found here!”
In Li Yan's understanding, for general secrets, cultivators either carry them with them or keep their secrets within their reach at all times.
He didn't find what he wanted in the other party's most important secret training room. If he searched the storage bag on the middle-aged man in black, that would be the last thing Li Yan wanted to do.
He was absolutely sure that he could kill the opponent silently.
However, as long as the other party is not dead, it is simply beyond his ability with his current level of cultivation to open his storage bag without anyone noticing.
Besides, he came here this time to look for something else he guessed.
The figure faded away again. In the training room, the middle-aged man in black had no idea that he had just been to the gates of hell.
Li Yan's elusive figure returned to the courtyard, and then he quickly wandered around every corner for several circles, like a ghost descending on this land.
But the result remained the same, and no abnormalities were seen.
It seems that the other party did not do anything unexpected in the courtyard.
Li Yan is very suspicious and his style of doing things is different from others.
He would either go straight to the secret room where the middle-aged man in black, whom he most suspected, was practicing, or check the courtyard that was most easily overlooked by others.
After finding nothing in these two places where it was most likely to spy on the other party's secrets.
Li Yan quickly searched the living room again. The place was under his spiritual surveillance almost every day, so he just filtered it again.
The result was exactly as Li Yan expected, with no surprises or disappointments.
It was not until then that Li Yan stood in front of the last room. The door here was ajar, as if it was an unguarded room and anyone could push the door open and enter.
There was a gleam in Li Yan's eyes. During the few days he had been monitoring this room, he had seen the middle-aged man in black push the door and enter several times. However, after Li Yan's consciousness sensed that there was a formation restriction in this room, he immediately retreated and did not force his way in.
If he guessed correctly, this room was the warehouse of the entire store.
He had seen the middle-aged man in black enter here dozens of times in the past few days, and when he came out, he often had some materials in his hands.
And his jade slip was placed in a storage bag and brought to this room by the middle-aged man in black.
When he came out again, he had nothing in his hands. The jade slip might have been stored here.
A white light flashed in Li Yan's hand, and a brocade handkerchief as white as jade appeared in his hand.
Just now, he used the "Heaven-stealing Scarf" to break the restriction and easily entered the secret training room of the middle-aged man in black. Now he was just doing the same thing.
Li Yan had no idea how many times he had studied the "Heaven-Stealing Handkerchief". However, no matter how hard he tried, he was ultimately unable to uncover more secrets of the "Heaven-Stealing Handkerchief".
Even with his current level of cultivation, he would still feel dizzy if his spiritual consciousness was immersed in it for a while.
Almost my entire mind was lost in the messy, crystal clear interwoven silk threads.
Each time the result made Li Yan sigh, or his cultivation was too weak, his knowledge was too shallow, the secret of "stealing the sky handkerchief" could only be left for later. Li Yan raised his palm, and the white light in his hand covered the half-open door.
The next moment, Li Yan's eyes narrowed.
"Sure enough, there is an ingenious forbidden defense!"
At the moment when the "Heaven-stealing Scarf" covered the crack in the door, countless blue stars suddenly began to light up in the ordinary crack in the door, and they seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.
At this moment, a layer of hazy white light on the "Sky-stealing Scarf" shook rapidly, and all the blue star points suddenly shattered, and then a small hole slowly expanded in Li Yan's eyes.
Li Yan did not pause at all, his figure immediately turned into a gray light and shot into the small hole.
At the moment his figure disappeared from the small hole, the "Heaven-stealing Scarf" had been taken away by him, and the expanding small hole also disappeared in an instant, leaving a half-open door still standing as before.
Inside the room, several glowing moonstones were embedded in the middle and four corners of the ceiling, shrouding the entire room in a soft white light, making the edges of everything in the room glow and look hazy.
Since this room is protected by a formation, not a single ray of white light can leak out even in the dark, and the windows are just for show.
There are six rows of wooden shelves in the room, on which are placed a lot of herbs, unknown animal skins, bones, jade slips, and small porcelain bottles of various colors.
Each row of wooden frames was also covered with layers of faint yellow light. Li Yan knew that these were separate small defensive formations.
First, when the external defense fails, it further prevents someone from entering and taking things from the wooden shelf, which mainly serves as a warning;
The second is to protect the raw materials and pills on the wooden shelves to prevent the medicinal effects from being lost.
Therefore, Li Yan could not sense any demonic or spiritual energy from these bones and herbs to judge their level.
Although Li Yan wanted to put these into "Tuban", after thinking about it, he had no choice but to give up.
Doing so would undoubtedly be equivalent to telling the other party that someone has been here, which is tantamount to confessing without being asked.
Regardless of whether Baidao Tianbao Pavilion has any connection with the person who accepted Zhao Min as a disciple, people will suspect themselves of it.
Li Yan quickly focused his attention on other places in the room. In just a moment, Li Yan's expression moved and his figure appeared in a corner of the room.
In front of Li Yan, there stood a stone platform half a person's height.
Standing in front of the stone platform, Li Yan looked for a while and then became a little dazed.
Although he had guessed it before, after confirming it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"This... This is too cunning. They actually used this method to pass the message!"
The half-person-high stone platform was not very big, only half the size of a table top, and was hexagonal. It was carved with complicated runes that Li Yan could not fully recognize.
At this moment, the hexagon is emitting a faint white light, almost blending in with the moonstone light in the entire room. If you are not careful, it is really not easy to notice anything special about it.
Although Li Yan could not recognize all of those runes, he had read many ancient books, and he had also come into contact with some common ones among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals.
Of course Li Yan knew what this thing was, a teleportation array, an extremely sophisticated small teleportation array.
But this was the first time Li Yan had seen such a small teleportation array, which couldn't even teleport one person.
But obviously, if the other party only sent a jade slip, some pills or something like that, there would be no problem at all.
Li Yan's face was a little gloomy. When he was in the inn thinking that the person who came to get the jade slip might have been unable to reach Mingdu City for six or seven days because the journey was too far, he suddenly thought of the "teleportation array".
He immediately thought that if there was a teleportation array in Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, then the middle-aged man in black could enter and exit Mingdu City at any time, and it would be difficult for outsiders to detect him.
Normally speaking, in a city with an array, the teleportation array inside must be controlled by the monks in charge, but it may be possible that it was built secretly.
Li Yan decided to take the risk and come over to check it out. Now it seems that the other party not only has a "teleportation array", but is also one step ahead.
Li Yan had never thought that the "teleportation array" did not teleport living beings, but then again, who stipulated that the "teleportation array" must teleport living beings.
After Li Yan used his spiritual sense to sense the stone platform repeatedly for a long time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
“The person who can think of this method is really smart.
If a large teleportation array is built, the spatial fluctuations generated when the teleportation array is in operation cannot be concealed by any random defensive formation.
Every time it is used, it will inevitably alarm many cultivators in the city, and then Baidao Tianbao Pavilion will be too conspicuous.
The teleportation array in front of us can only be considered a "micro" teleportation array at best, and it is likely that anything larger will not be able to be teleported through.
It is no problem to transport small items, and the spatial fluctuations generated during operation can be reduced to a very low level. "
Li Yan thought to himself that with the external formation covering it, people outside would not notice this place. At least he had not noticed anything unusual here.
Li Yan's spiritual sense quickly scanned the room again. Although there were still a dozen or so storage items on the six rows of shelves, most of them had not been refined by anyone. They were new storage bags waiting to be sold.
Although the remaining storage bags contained things, their sizes and shapes were different from the storage bags that contained the jade slips that day.
With the memory of a cultivator, Li Yan would definitely not remember wrongly what kind of storage bag the other party put his jade slip in.
His jade slip had obviously been teleported away by the other party. Although this teleportation formation was very small, too small to teleport a person, it did not mean that its teleportation distance was not far.
He had been completely fooled. The other party was related to the Nascent Soul cultivator. The big man who came to take the jade slip had come twice in total. None of the words said by the middle-aged man in black were true. In this game, he was just one move away.
