Killing God - Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Boss He
Even after staying in the Demon Realm for three years, Shen Shi did not forget much about the Yin Yang Five Elements Ten Symbols. Even in the Demon Realm, when he was free, he would casually pick up some paper and brushes, or even directly pick up a tree branch, and casually draw some of these Yin Yang Symbols on the ground.

Perhaps it was a habit from childhood to adulthood, or perhaps he could console himself in his heart by drawing a few strokes. As for whether or not other Demon race would see it, Shen Shi wasn’t worried. In fact, the Old Bai Monkeys and Stone Pigs that had befriended him had seen the strange and twisted runes he had drawn more than once. They had also asked Shen Shi curiously, and after Shen Shi gently inferred that it was just casual scribbling and had no meaning, they did not pursue the matter further.

This was because these Yin Yang runes looked like twisted and complicated ghost runes …

Unknowingly, Shen Shi remembered the Old Bai Monkey and the Stone Pig. He was stunned at the table. After a while, he sighed lightly and sighed slightly sadly.

Compared to him, After the Little Hei pig entered the room, The boss jumped onto the bed impolitely. His greasy black body rolled on the soft blanket for a few times, and he immediately fell in love with the bed here. He wished his entire body could sink into those blankets. Soon, he lay on the bed and didn’t make a sound. He didn’t know if he was asleep or not.

Shen Shi glanced at the side of the bed, ignoring it. He calmed down and concentrated. Then, he tried his hand on an ordinary piece of white paper and drew the ten Yin Yang Five Elements Talisman Marks one by one. After drawing, he examined them one by one. Then, his eyes revealed a satisfied expression and he lightly nodded.

The foundation that he had tempered on this talisman for many years was revealed at this moment. Ten twisted talisman patterns that even ordinary people felt a headache seeing, and he drew them in one breath, but they were not bad at all.

With confidence in his heart, Shen Shi removed the white paper. This time, the real talisman paper was in front of him. The scarlet cinnabar and the green jade peach wood talisman brush with the brush shaft were also quietly in his hands. The room was quiet. His gaze landed lightly on the talisman paper, and then he calmly wrote down the pen.

The exquisite and even handwriting slowly drew out mysterious runes on the yellow talisman paper. Then, on the same talisman paper, several runes formed a formation and appeared intact one by one. When the last stroke was triggered, a formation formed from three runes appeared before his eyes. This was a semi-finished talisman. He was only one step away from being able to refine his spirit and become a useful Five Elements Talisman.

Shen Shi quietly raised his brush and drew a talisman. His expression was calm and indifferent. If a talisman craftsman who was skilled in this art was present, he would definitely be surprised at the talent and proficiency of this young man in drawing talismans. As he drew, talismans were completed one after another. Shen Shi rarely stopped writing and hesitated, and when drawing talismans, he would make astonishing mistakes.

Two hours later, Shen Shi finally finished drawing all fifty talismans. He stood up and stretched. He turned his neck, looked down at the stack of talismans on the table, and nodded in satisfaction. There were forty-seven talisman papers in that stack. Even with Shen Shi’s skilled brushwork, he still crippled three talisman papers due to mistakes. However, this was the case. Fifty talisman papers crippled three of them. This was equivalent to a master who had decades of experience in talisman making.

Next, There were only the last and most crucial talismans left. Normally, at this final moment, there would still be a large number of talismans that had been crippled due to various reasons. However, Shen Shi’s mentality was very relaxed. Based on his past experience, because of the mysterious Yin Yang Curse, he was filled with confidence in this final step.

However, this step of filling the spirit was always known for its delicacy and complexity. Even with the help of the Yin Yang Curse, it was impossible for him to quickly create large amounts of talismans. He could only slowly do so. He had previously set a six-day stay for this purpose.

Shen Shi’s gaze swept across the stack of yellow talisman papers. Gently picking it up, according to the different formations on it, Currently, he had mastered most of the six First Grade Five Elemental Spells. There were a total of 34 of them. Among them, Fireball, Water Arrow, Rock Piercing, and Soil Settling were his favourite. Each of them had eight. The remaining Fire Barrier Spells and Wind Swift Spells were rarely used, so he drew only one of them.

The remaining thirteen talisman papers, He left it to the spells he had learned from the Demon Realm, Truth be told, when the talismans were first drawn on the talisman paper, Because the composition of the spell was those strange patterns of the Five Poisons, which were completely different from the symbols and runes of the human race, Shen Shi was somewhat worried. However, when he thought back to when he had used the spell method to create the Five Elements Symbols in the Demon Realm, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem for him to reverse it today.

And the truth was exactly as he thought, There was indeed a strange connection between this spell and the Five Elements Spell of the Human race. After the ten strange patterns of the Five Poisons were drawn on the talisman paper, they seemed to fit perfectly. There was no sense of discord at all. It seemed that as long as it was the last step to refresh one’s spirit, one should be able to create a perfect spell talisman.

This gave people the feeling that, It seemed a little strange, but Shen Shi couldn’t think of that much in a moment. Apart from the ghost summoning spell recorded in the animal hide, there were four other spells that he could usually use. Three were Void Spirit Spells, three were Skin Erosion Spells, three were Blood Poison Spells, and four were Decay Spells.

Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief after all the preparations had been made. He packed up the spirit materials on the table and put them back into his Ruyi bag. The room quickly returned to its original appearance. Even Owner He of the inn could not tell what Shen Shi had done here before.

Shen Shi turned around and sat down beside the bed. His gaze swept through the slightly messy bedding and found the Little Hei Pig, who had buried himself under the soft quilt and slept comfortably. Seeing that it was sleeping so sweetly, a gentle smile flashed across the corner of Shen Shi’s mouth as he reached out and gently touched its head.

Although the Little Hei pig was asleep, it seemed to have sensed something. Its two small ears moved twice, and its head rubbed against Shen Shi’s palm.

Shen Shi smiled and shook his head. He ignored it and sat down cross-legged on the bed. After pondering for a moment, he reached out and gently caressed the mouth of the Ruyi bag. When he raised his hand again, a faint light lit up. It was a spirit crystal that was glittering with a gentle light and was quietly lying in his palm.

Shen Shi looked at the spirit crystal quietly, a complicated expression flashing across his eyes.

It had been three years. For three whole years, because he couldn’t find these beautiful but crucial little stones, he was forcefully suppressed in the high-level Qi Refining Realm. He was only a step away from the most important threshold of the Origin Condensation Realm, but he could only helplessly wander outside.

Those who had never experienced that kind of feeling, that kind of taste, were truly hard to understand and understand.

Fortunately, everything in front of him seemed to have finally returned to normal, and his future path seemed to reveal light once again.

He smiled. He held the spirit crystal tightly in his hands with some anticipation and hope. Then, he closed his eyes. After three years, he began to cultivate again.

④

Within Broken Moon City, cultivators came and went. The heavens and the earth were so vast that no one paid special attention to the whereabouts of a young man. At the very least, from the looks of it, this city was still quiet. It stood upright on the plains as usual, and it had spent days of tranquility.

Six days later, On the 16th of September of this year, Shen Shi asked the innkeeper about this date. Shen Shi had finally completed the Spirit Irrigation of all 47 talismans. What was shocking was that in the end, of all the 47 talismans, only one Stone Thorn Talisman had accidentally made a mistake during the Spirit Irrigation. None of the remaining 46 talismans had failed, and all of them had succeeded in Spirit Irrigation.

Even Shen Shi felt that such an astonishing success rate was somewhat inconceivable. Even though he had a fairly high success rate in crafting talismans on Bluefish Island back then, when he was at the Spirit Irrigation stage, he would definitely not be able to reach this level. After careful consideration, the only reason he could do so was to return to the second volume of Yin Yang Curse Inscriptions he had learned in the Demon Realm.

However, no matter what, this was still a good thing. Shen Shi was even slightly complacent in his heart. Even if he was in a difficult situation in the future, selling this talisman alone could guarantee his cultivation needs.

After packing up his belongings and confirming that there were no important items left in the room, Shen Shi brought the Little Hei Pig, who was reluctant to part with the bed, downstairs to the lobby of the inn and settled the bill with Boss He, who was standing behind the counter. Then, he casually greeted Boss He and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Boss He suddenly stopped him. When Shen Shi turned to look at him, his eyes were filled with doubt. However, Boss He smiled slightly. He signaled for Shen Shi to approach the counter while lowering his voice and softly said, “Young Master, there is something I have here that you might want to know.”

Shen Shi stood by the counter and frowned slightly as he looked at Boss He. He had a warm smile on his face, and there was nothing unusual about him. After a moment of silence, Shen Shi nodded and said, “May I have your advice?”

Owner He smiled faintly and said, “Six days ago, not long after you checked in, there was someone who came in and talked to the clerk of this shop …” As he spoke, he clearly repeated the words that the tall cultivator had asked the clerk to pick up the phone six days ago.

Shen Shi listened silently. When he heard Boss He’s description of the person that the cultivator was looking for, his expression became somewhat ugly. At the same time, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes. Even though Owner He’s cultivation wasn’t that high in this inn business, his ability to observe beauty and beauty was already at its peak. Shen Shi’s eyes quickly saw the peculiarity in his eyes, and his heart immediately calmed down. However, his expression was still the same as before. He smiled and remained calm.

After listening to Boss He’s retelling, Shen Shi pondered for a moment and cupped his hands. “Thank you Boss He for telling me that this matter is very important to me, but I wonder what the cultivator who came to inquire about that day looked like. Uh, is there anything special about his clothes, such as the clothes of a disciple of a sect?”

What he was worried about right now was naturally because he was afraid that the matter of Qian Yi would happen and that the Mysterious Sword Sect would suspect him. Although he had tried his best to erase the traces in that forest that day, on the one hand, he was not a skilled murderer who killed people every day, so it was inevitable that he would miss something. Secondly, the world was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were countless divine abilities in the cultivation world. For a cultivation sect like the Mysterious Sword Sect that had a foot and strength, if there were some miraculous techniques that they did not expect to be able to find the corpse and search for the murderer, no one would dare deny it.

The plan now was naturally to quickly ask the cultivator who had followed him what his identity was. He must not be a disciple of the Mysterious Sword Sect. He was worried and anxious, and his gaze towards Boss He became somewhat anxious. However, at this moment, Boss He was smiling faintly. For some reason, he did not say a word for a long time. It was with a kind and strange smile on his face that he looked at Shen Shi.

Shen Shi frowned and his eagerness gradually disappeared. After a moment of silence, a hesitation flashed through his eyes. However, he still took out a spirit crystal and gently placed it on the counter table. He whispered, “Boss He, please teach me.”

Boss He swept his arm as if he was wiping a table. He gently wiped the spirit crystal over. Then, he smiled and described the tall cultivator’s clothes and appearance to Shen Shi in detail.

Shen Shi listened carefully and felt that the appearance of that person did not seem to have anything to do with the Profound Sword Sect. However, after thinking about it for a moment, if the disciples of the Profound Sword Sect were to sneak out and look for someone, this possibility seemed to be hard to rule out. Thinking for a few times, it was always difficult to solve the hidden worries. He felt a little more irritated. After pondering for a moment, he decided to leave the city for the last four days and hide. When the people from the Ling Xiao Sect really came to see him, things would be much easier with the support of the sect. At worst, he would act according to the situation at that time.

With his mind set, he glanced at the smiling Boss He behind the counter. He secretly felt some pain in the spirit crystal. He thought that the spirit crystal couldn’t make him earn too much. He asked, “Boss He, other than that, I also want to ask if there are so many cultivators gathered in Broken Moon City, but is there any treasure land near the city?”

Perhaps because of that sparkling spirit crystal, Boss He did not cause any problems this time. He smiled and introduced it to Shen Shi briefly and clearly,

“Of course there is, and there is more than one place, producing all kinds of cultivation spiritual materials. There are four places within a radius of three hundred miles around Broken Moon City. However, Crouching Tiger Mountain was now the exclusive domain of the Mysterious Sword Sect, and no other rogue cultivators could approach it. “There are still three places left. There are more spirit herbs in the Grey Lizard Forest, more demonic beasts on the Eagle Hidden Ridge, and another place is Silvermoon Lake. There are plenty of water plants there, and there are many spirit herbs and low-grade demonic beasts. It is a place that the cultivators in the city usually go to to search for cultivation spirit herbs and various resources.”

Shen Shi slowly nodded and cupped his hands. “Thank you very much.” Owner He smiled and returned the greeting. Shen Shi did not delay any longer and directly turned around and walked out of the inn.

Seeing that Shen Shi’s back had disappeared, the smile on Boss He’s face remained unchanged. He reached out and pinched the spirit crystal in his palm. He pondered for a moment, then walked up to the inn by himself. He walked all the way to another secluded room and knocked on the door.

The door creaked open and a person walked out. He was tall and large, but it was the cultivator who secretly followed Shen Shi six days ago.

The tall cultivator looked at Boss He, His expression was rather ugly. But Boss He was calm, Without the slightest bit of fear, To be able to open an inn in Broken Moon City where cultivators were gathered and maintain it, How could there be no evidence behind his back? The tall cultivator clearly understood this point. Although his expression was ugly, he still didn’t dare to make any excessive moves towards Boss He. He only said coldly, “Boss He, don’t go too far. What exactly happened? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Boss He smiled faintly and said, “This guest, I have indeed inquired about what you want to know today, but …” He slowly closed his mouth and smiled without saying a word. He only looked at the cultivator.

The corners of the tall cultivator’s eyes twitched, and a burst of anger flashed past him. However, for some reason, he still forcefully suppressed it in the end. After gritting his teeth, he took out a spirit crystal and threw it to Boss He. Then, he said hatefully, “It can be said now.”

Owner He laughed and caught the spirit crystal. Then, Shi Shi Ran said, “The young man you’re looking for will definitely leave the city today. Most likely, the place you’re going to is Silvermoon Lake.”

The tall cultivator raised his eyebrows with a hint of suspicion and said, “Really?”

Boss He turned around and gently tossed the spirit crystal in his hand. Then, he caught it with his hand and walked all the way. At the same time, he said indifferently, “Don’t worry, he will go to Silvermoon Lake.”
