Chapter 228: In Trouble

As we walked along, Yandang City was still prosperous. The life and death of a few people was not even a small splash for Yandang City.

Zhan Nianchuan had a clear goal. Without any delay, he walked quickly to Wanbao Pavilion, the largest and most comprehensive store in Yandang City.

After entering the store, the maid who received Zhan Nianchuan last time was immediately greeted with a bright smile:

"Welcome, fellow Taoist. What service do you need this time?"

"Let's take a look first. My master is going to retreat to refine medicine this time, so I need to buy more." Zhan Nianchuan looked very indifferent.

Hearing this, the maid hurriedly and attentively took Zhan Nianchuan to the third floor.

The third floor was very large and was divided into small rooms. It seemed that the decoration of each room was different.

"Fellow Taoist, please feel free to do as you like. The jade slip inside has a list of all spiritual medicines and other items. My housekeeper will be here soon." The maid said respectfully.

Zhan Nianchuan nodded lightly and walked into a room with elegant and simple decoration.

The furnishings inside were also very simple, with a set of simple and heavy tables and chairs, a pot of green plants, and several jade slips on the table.

After a review, Zhan Nianchuan regretfully discovered that Wanbao Pavilion had not received any new seven-leaf Ganoderma in the past few months, but he still wanted to buy a lot of spiritual medicines.

Although he was wealthy, the cost of making everyone around him strong quickly was extremely staggering, after all, second-level spiritual medicines were not cheap. Although there were still many spiritual medicines in the Nanlu Secret Realm, he still wanted to buy more, and had to take some risks for this.

Just as he was thinking about how to get out safely, the entire wall behind the room suddenly cracked silently from the middle, and a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came out. His face was like jade, his eyes were calm and gentle, and he was very likable.

Zhan Nianchuan sensed it and found that the general manager seemed to be in the late stage of foundation building, and he felt a little relieved.

"Fellow Daoist, please. I heard that you want to buy some spiritual medicine for your master?" The steward came straight to the point and seemed to be very busy.

"Yes, your store has a complete range of spiritual medicines and the prices are fair. I bought them once before and my master was very satisfied. He specially asked me to buy some more. This is the list of spiritual medicines I want to buy." Zhan Nianchuan deliberately showed a little restraint and handed over the list of spiritual medicines he was going to buy.

After taking the shopping list handed over by Zhan Nianchuan, the steward raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhan Nianchuan meaningfully, and then called the maid just now and asked her to bring all the items on the list that could be found.

"I am Lu Gui, what is your name?" The steward asked casually.

"Li Hong greets the senior." Zhan Nianchuan thought about it and answered respectfully.

"Look at the dusty look of fellow Daoist Li. Could it be that he just came back from the Yandang Mountains?" Lu Gui's eyes were extremely fierce and he saw it at a glance.

"Senior, you have a keen eye. I did go to the Yandang Mountains." Zhan Nianchuan was secretly shocked and raised his vigilance to the highest level.

Then the two began to chat about some interesting things in the Yandang Mountains, and time passed quickly.

A quarter of an hour later, the maid lowered her head and entered the room, handing a storage bag to Lu Gui.

Lu Gui probed his spiritual sense into the room, and after a brief inspection, he pushed the storage bag to Zhan Nianchuan.

After a careful inspection, Zhan Nianchuan found that there was no problem with the quantity and quality of the spiritual medicines, so he smiled and said:

"It's easy and pleasant to do business with your store. I wonder how much these spiritual medicines cost?"

"Haha, the total should be 220,000 spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist Li bought so many, and I will deduct 20,000, so you only need to pay 200,000 spiritual stones." Lu Gui smiled as warm as a spring breeze.

This price was about the same as Zhan Nianchuan expected, so he took out the spiritual stones and handed them to Lu Gui, and then said goodbye and left.

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist Li. Seeing that you have purchased so many second-level spiritual medicines, I believe that our master must be a rare master of alchemy in the world. Can you introduce me to him?" Lu Gui stood up and sent Zhan Nianchuan to the stairs on the second floor, and suddenly said something that surprised Zhan Nianchuan.

Zhan Nianchuan's mind turned, and he looked apologetic:

"My master has a casual personality and doesn't like to contact others, so he ordered me to buy spiritual medicine on his behalf. So please forgive me for not being able to introduce you. Goodbye." After saying that, he bowed slightly and walked downstairs.

After going downstairs, Zhan Nianchuan walked towards the Fuyuan Tea House in front of him, intending to pretend to drink tea in the tea house, and then change his appearance in the private room and leave.

After entering the tea house, Zhan Nianchuan asked for a private room at random, ordered a cup of spiritual tea, and began to reflect on his actions.

For some reason, he always had an ominous feeling in his heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

No, I have to leave quickly.

Zhan Nianchuan stood up suddenly, but his face changed immediately.

He felt that his consciousness hit a very soft and tough barrier, and was trapped in this room and unable to break through.

Taking a deep breath, Zhan Nianchuan's muscles were knotted, and scales appeared on his limbs. A bright light flashed on his fist, and he punched the wall.

Something shocked him. His blow that could smash a huge rock weighing thousands of pounds had no effect at all!

Just like hitting a ball of very tough cotton, the wall was only slightly deformed, and then a strong recoil force came, pushing Zhan Nianchuan back more than ten steps in a row.

"Could it be that the Fuyuan Tea House and Wanbao Pavilion have the same owner?"

Zhan Nianchuan had a headache in his mind. Such a powerful formation could not be set up in a hurry. The only explanation was that he was targeted by someone in Wanbao Pavilion, and every private room here was set with powerful restrictions, but they were not activated at ordinary times.

What did Wanbao Pavilion want to do? Kill people for money? Zhan Nianchuan looked solemn, and instantly remembered the scene when Lu Gui asked his master about the way of alchemy just now, and then thought about the cheap pills in Wanbao Pavilion, Zhan Nianchuan had a guess in his mind.

He pondered for a moment, patted the spirit beast bag and took out the idiot, then ordered it to open its mouth and swallow several of his storage bags.

"Idiot, thank you for your hard work. I am in danger now. This is the only way."

Idiot nodded, rubbed his palm, and then obediently entered the spirit beast bag.

Zhan Nianchuan estimated that he could not get out for a while, so he sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the magic.
