Killing God - Chapter 165
Chapter 165 Eccentric Pig
The Ruyi Bag was nearly green jade in color, and its tentacles were soft. It felt very comfortable. It looked like the materials used to make it weren’t bad. At the same time, the bag itself emitted a faint aura of spiritual energy. It was the material of the Ruyi Bag itself that contained spiritual energy. This seemingly insignificant Spiritual Energy had blocked the Spiritual Sense that Shen Shi had touched earlier.
This time, Shen Shi once again activated the spiritual energy at the acupoints of the Eyebrow Heart Aperture to probe the Ruyi Bag. When he first came into contact with the mouth of the Ruyi Bag, the spiritual energy aura on the Ruyi Bag quickly reacted. It seemed as if it was rejected as before. However, compared to the ordinary spiritual energy in the Qi channels around his body, the mysterious spiritual energy in Shen Shimei’s Heart Aperture was obviously much stronger.
After a moment of stalemate, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the resistance in front of him was like an ebb tide, instantly dissipating. The mouth of the Ruyi bag was slightly open, and his spiritual sense had already penetrated into it, allowing him to see everything in the space inside the Ruyi bag.
At this moment, Shen Shi did not even have the time to carefully look at what was inside the Ruyi bag. A feeling of excitement mixed with shock filled his heart all of a sudden.
Being able to open the Ruyi Bag meant that the Spiritual Energy in his body, or more accurately, the Spiritual Energy in his mysterious acupoint of the Eyebrows and Heart Apertures, had reached the threshold of an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator, regardless of the degree of solidification or strength of the Spiritual Energy.
Even with Shen Shi’s patient and calm temperament, and even though he had a faint premonition before, after confirming this, he was still too excited to be himself, but at the same time, his heart was filled with doubt. For thousands of years, the cultivation realm of the human race had been tempered by countless ancestors to form an almost perfect path of advancement. Every threshold and advancement had long been planned to be flawless.
Shen Shi grew up immersed in the teachings of this cultivation system. He also deeply believed in this set of Dao Laws cultivated by humans. However, this peculiar thing was happening to him right now. He was clearly only at the Qi Refining Realm, but he accidentally possessed a portion of his spiritual power that had reached the Origin Condensation Realm. Needless to say, he had never heard of other cultivators having two completely different parts of spiritual power in their bodies.
Seeing the source, Shen Shi had no choice but to think of the two volumes of Yin Yang Curse Inscriptions.
This mysterious incantation carved with the Seven Leaves Golden Sunflower Pattern actually had such a great impact on his cultivation. For a moment, Shen Shi himself became a little uneasy. However, very quickly, he shook his head with a bit of self-mockery. He thought to himself, if he hadn’t cultivated these two Yin Yang incantation scripts, he wouldn’t have been able to reach this point at all, right? In short, this curse was practiced. At the very least, it didn’t seem like he would reveal any tricks in the future. In that case, he should treat it as his deepest secret. In the future, he would return to Lingxiao Sect and carefully keep it a secret so that the elders wouldn’t discover it.
As for now, he took a long breath and put all those distracting thoughts behind him. He calmed down and began to carefully examine the Ruyi bag in his hand.
As a proper storage artifact that only Origin Condensation Realm cultivators could use, the Ruyi Bag was indeed completely different from the few small Ruyi Rings he had bought back then. Just the storage space in the bag was at least five times larger. Just looking at the size of the storage space, Shen Shi roughly estimated that it was probably half the size of a room.
However, there weren’t many things in this Ruyi Bag. Shen Shi looked through them carefully and discovered that apart from those useless items like clothes, there were only two or three small jade bottles that could be linked to cultivation. It seemed like they contained some medicinal pills. It seemed that Qian Yi was not a wealthy person in Xuanjian Sect.
However, in the end, when Shen Shi was about to finish his investigation and think about how to deal with the debris, he suddenly discovered that not far away from the pills, there was a small bag that was tied with a rope. It looked like an ordinary cloth bag, but he didn’t know what was inside.
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat and his Spiritual Sense reached over. Sure enough, it was the same as when he used the Little Ruyi Ring. Very quickly, he took the small bag into his hand without any hindrance.
Ruyi Bag could fix the storage space and at the same time ignore the weight of the storage. However, after reaching his hand, Shen Shi felt that this small bag was slightly heavy. At the same time, it seemed like a small stone was gently rolling inside, making a crisp sound.
The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth curled up slightly. He stared at the bag for a while. For some reason, he was suddenly a little excited. After calming down, he gently opened the mouth of the bag.
A beautiful and resplendent light shone out of the bag. It was gentle and filled with a hint of dreaminess. It reflected on his face. Shen Shi stared blankly at the small translucent stones in the bag, and his palms trembled slightly.
Spirit crystals.
For the past three years, he had been in the Demon Realm thinking day and night that the thing he longed for the most was these crystalline and translucent little stones.
It had been three years. It had been three whole years. In the past three years, his cultivation had clearly reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. He was clearly only one step away from the Origin Condensation Realm, but because he could not find any spirit crystals in the Demon Realm, he was forcefully stuck in the Qi Refining Realm and was unable to move. To a cultivator, this kind of pain was truly indescribable.
And now, under these sparkling spirit crystals, Shen Shi finally felt so clearly that he had finally returned to the human realm, back to the place where he could start cultivating again.
He gritted his teeth and calmed down his excitement. After letting out a long sigh, he carefully counted the spirit crystals in his bag. There were a total of twenty-three spirit crystals.
This number wasn’t small, but it wasn’t much. Especially for an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator, they consumed much more spirit crystals than a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator. Therefore, this number should be relatively small compared to Qian Yi’s status. Looks like he really didn’t do well in Xuanjian Sect.
Shen Shi then carefully inspected the contents of the Ruyi Bag again. After confirming that there were no omissions, he walked to a remote place in the wilderness and took out all the items and piled them on the ground. Then, he waved his hand and summoned a fireball to ignite the debris.
Seeing the flames quickly grow bigger and burn those things to ashes, Shen Shi pondered for a moment before throwing everything else into the fire, including the jade bottles of medicinal pills and even the cloth bag that originally contained the spirit crystals.
Everything gradually turned to ashes in the Five Elements Spell Fireball, which was much hotter than ordinary flames. Then, Shen Shi walked to the side and began to count the items on his body. He took out some useful items and put them into the Ruyi bag.
First of all, it was naturally the most important and hidden things, The Yin Yang Curse Scroll and the beast hide that recorded magic spells were followed by a small amount of materials. Most of them were used to create magic symbols in the Demon Realm back then. However, because there were no magical items stored in the Demon Realm, the little Ruyi Ring that he had brought back had long since been damaged. It could only be placed in ordinary bags with a small amount of materials.
In addition, Originally, he had saved up many magical talismans, but in the life-and-death battle with Qian Yi yesterday, in order to win, his talismans were used desperately as if they didn’t cost any money. One after another, he practically didn’t stop. He completely ignored all sorts of fighting methods, and in just a short battle, he had exhausted all the talismans he had saved.
Looks like when we arrive in Broken Moon City, it’s time to look for those shops that sell all kinds of cultivation spirit materials and buy some materials for making talismans. However, this was also good. After all, the talismans used by humans were still talismans. Magic talismans were somewhat eye-catching after all. It would be troublesome if someone noticed any traces of footsteps.
She thought to herself, However, Shen Shi did not stop. He placed all the items on his body into Ruyi Bag. However, after calculating for a moment, Shen Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Apart from the 23 spirit crystals he had just handed over, there was practically nothing valuable in his body. Even if it was valuable, it was impossible for him to take out the Yin Yang Curse.
This situation seemed to be even more destitute than when he left Qingyu Island three years ago.
After a while, everything was put away. It was indeed convenient to have a storage pouch. Shen Shi suddenly felt much more relaxed. At the same time, he suddenly felt an impulse to casually take out a spirit crystal from the Ruyi pouch. Looking at the gentle and moist luster, an uncontrollable excitement surged into his heart.
It’s been three years, should we start cultivating now …
“Boom, boom …”
Suddenly, a commotion sounded at his feet. Shen Shi lowered his head and saw that a small black pig playing quietly by the side had come running over at some unknown time. He raised his head to look at himself and was humming incessantly.
Shen Shi squatted down and listened to its cries. He looked at the little black pig’s slightly opened mouth and said, “Are you hungry?”
The little black pig immediately nodded and licked his palm.
Shen Shi pondered for a moment. He remembered that there seemed to be some dried meat in Ruyi’s bag just now. In the past, there were no spirit stones to cultivate in the Demon Realm, so he could only feed his hunger with meat. Naturally, there was no need for this anymore. He took them all out and placed them in front of the Little Hei pig. He smiled and said, “Eat them, I’ll let you eat until you’re full today.”
The little black pig lowered its head and looked at the dried meat on the ground. It stretched out one of its hooves and swept away the dried meat on the ground with a look of disdain.
Shen Shi was stunned and said, “What’s wrong?”
Pig Little Hei hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph
The little black pig let out a roar and jumped over. At the same time, it opened its mouth wide and drooled.
“Pa!” With a crisp sound, Shen Shi slapped the Little Hei pig on the forehead and knocked it over on the ground. The Little Hei pig snorted twice and stretched out a pig hoof to scratch its head, revealing a somewhat depressed expression as it looked at Shen Shi.
“Don’t think about this spirit crystal.” Shen Shi said resolutely. What a joke! To Shen Shi, this spirit crystal was such a precious item. It took him three years to see it. How could it be given to this little pig to eat?
“What are you talking about? Why are you getting weirder and weirder now?” Shen Shi glared at the Little Hei pig and said hatefully, “A good pig likes to swallow strange things that are inexplicable if it doesn’t eat what it should eat.” First, you ate my pearls. Uh, one wasn’t enough for you, and then you ate two … Do you know the origins of those two pearls? “I was thinking … Forget it, I didn’t say anything before, but now I’m fine. I actually want to eat spirit crystals. Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will hurt if you eat it?”
The Little Hei pig widened its eyes and shook its head repeatedly, expressing that it wasn’t afraid of stomach pain at all.
Shen Shi was furious and shouted, “You’re not afraid and you can’t eat it!”
The little black pig’s ears collapsed, and it immediately looked at Shen Shi with a hint of grief. However, seeing that its master’s expression was firm, it could only humph a few times and run away with its head lowered in frustration.
Shen Shi angrily glared at the pig’s back. He wondered why he had raised such a strange little pig. However, after being disturbed by the Little Hei pig, he did not have the mood to cultivate immediately. He immediately put the spirit crystal back into his Ruyi bag and identified the direction. He shouted in the direction of the Little Hei pig from afar and walked deeper into the wilderness.
Now, of course, the plan was to head to the Broken Moon City as soon as possible.
According to what Nangong Ying and the disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect said the day before yesterday, Broken Moon City should be the largest city in the vicinity. It was located in front of this wilderness, and there were also roads to and fro. As long as he found that road, he should be able to find Broken Moon City on the way.
Along the way, the gentle breeze blew across the plains. It was refreshing and carried a hint of the fragrance of grass. Looking around, one could see that the sky and the earth were vast and cloudy, and the breeze was gentle. It could not help but broaden one’s mind a lot.
“Hmph hmph hmph hmph!” With a few low growls, the Little Hei pig trotted up from behind and ran to Shen Shi’s feet. It seemed that it had only been a while, and it seemed to have regained its usual pure and happy mood. Shen Shi glanced at it and suddenly frowned. He squatted down and saw a slender green grass in the mouth of the Little Hei pig chewing. The leaves were long and narrow, and there was a five-petaled white flower at the top. The flower core was slightly purple, as if it was different from ordinary wild flowers and weeds.
Shen Shi had grown up on the Heavenly First Floor since he was young. His gaze had been tempered long ago, especially his knowledge of various spirit materials. He had far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. At this moment, he took a few glances. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows with a hint of astonishment and whispered,
“Purple Core Grass?”
