Killing God - Chapter 191
Chapter 191 Spiritual Medicine Hall
Du Tiejian smiled and waved at him, signaling for Shen Shi to come over.
Shen Shi walked over and saw that the bedding in this stone room was neat and tidy. On the other side, there was another stone couch with two mats on it, which seemed to be specially used for meditation and cultivation. The next stone room was one-third larger than the bedroom, but the entire stone room was empty. Only three thick stone slabs suddenly appeared on the left and right stone walls. They looked like stone frames.
Through Du Tiejian’s introduction behind him, Only then did Shen Shi realize that this large stone room was actually a storage room. Although Origin Condensation Realm cultivators could use storage magic tools like the Ruyi Bag, on the one hand, Ruyi Bag might cost spirit crystals to purchase, and on the other hand, storage space was limited. Therefore, this storage room, or rather, a warehouse stone room, was truly very practical. However, Shen Shi was still a little surprised by the size of the stone room. However, Du Tiejian smiled and said, “When you truly step into the Dao Cultivator Stage in the future, the amount of spirit materials you accumulate every day will only increase.”
Then there were two more stone chambers, The same area is not small, with different functions, It was actually prepared for the possibility of cultivating all sorts of spirit herbs and herbs or all sorts of spirit beasts and insects in the future. This caused Shen Shi, who had never heard of this before, to be very surprised. However, Du Tiejian explained faintly. Although all kinds of spirit materials could be bought in shops and sects, the price was high. Ordinary cultivators might not have enough spirit crystals, or some extremely precious heavenly treasures needed to be transplanted or raised. That was why they had set up such a stone room.
Shen Shi also secretly sighed from this detail that Lingxiao Sect was indeed worthy of being one of the most famous cultivation sects in the world. It was completely different from the style of those rogue cultivators and even some small sects. As for the last stone room, Instead, he laid down a formation. It was said that this was the place where the disciples of the sect practiced all sorts of divine abilities, That formation had the function of protecting the stone wall of the cave. It was said that no matter how powerful a magic treasure or Dao Art was, it would not damage the stone wall. However, at this moment, the formation was silent and dim. After asking Du Tiejian, Shen Shi realized that it still required a large number of spirit crystals to activate this formation …
Du Tiejian walked down a circle and had a rough impression of his “home”. He did not stay any longer and left after giving him a few words of advice.
The stone door slowly closed. The huge cave instantly quieted down. Looking at the empty and spacious stone room, other than the cold stone wall, there didn’t seem to be much life. However, for some reason, Shen Shi suddenly felt very at ease. A relaxed feeling that he had never felt before slowly rose from the depths of his heart. It was a feeling that he hadn’t felt for many years.
Finally … he’s back.

After sitting in this brand new cave for a while, Shen Shi moved. First, he cleaned it up inside and outside, including the withered branches and leaves outside the cave’s stone door. Adding on that this cave had nothing to begin with, he soon had a new feeling.
During this process, Little Hei Pig, who was beside Shen Shi, did not have the slightest intention of helping him. Instead, he would occasionally cause trouble and make Shen Shi rush to the side.
After that, Shen Shi walked back to his bedroom and tidied up his belongings. Most of the belongings he carried with him were in the Ruyi Bag. Previously, he had carefully concealed the Ruyi Bag in front of outsiders, including Du Tiejian. After all, with a Qi Refining Realm cultivator being able to use a magical item like the Ruyi Bag, it was easy for others to see his abnormality.
Apart from the two Tier 2 spiritual herbs he had obtained from the Origin Realm, there were only a few dozen spiritual crystals left in the Ruyi bag. These were almost all of his possessions. The spirit crystals he had obtained from selling spirit herbs in Broken Moon City of the Origin Realm had unknowingly consumed quite a bit in the past ten days since returning to the Soaring Firmament Sect. That was because he cultivated every day.
It was during the past few days that Shen Shi gradually discovered that although his cultivation had stagnated at the high-level Qi Refining Realm after three years, and it was no different from when he left Qingyu Island three years ago, when he was cultivating, he discovered that his consumption of spirit crystals … seemed to have increased a little.
Normally, when an ordinary cultivator was at the high-level of the Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual energy in a spirit crystal could roughly guarantee his cultivation for five days as his cultivation progressed. However, under the effect of the Heart Cleansing Curse, after cultivating twice a day, Shen Shi discovered that he would use an intact spirit crystal in two days.
It seemed that after cultivating the Heavenly Underworld Curse, the Spiritual Energy in his body had been purified and refined. For some reason, the amount of Spiritual Energy he absorbed during cultivation seemed to have increased considerably. Such a rate of consumption of spirit crystals was almost comparable to that of an official Origin Condensation Realm disciple on Golden Rainbow Mountain.
Shen Shi felt quite helpless towards this fact. At the same time, he felt a familiar pressure once again, and that was poverty …
Thinking back to his years of cultivation, he seemed to have been struggling desperately to earn money. He didn’t know when this strange pressure had been lingering.
After sitting on the bed for a long time, Shen Shi bitterly smiled. Then, he put the spirit crystals into his bosom. The rest of the items were put back into Ruyi bags and left in the cave residence. Then, he stood up and called for Little Hei Pig. However, he discovered that the little pig had already fallen asleep on the bed at some unknown time. Shen Shi shook his head, then stood up and walked out.
With the existence of Cloud Talismans, this cave was basically safe. The rules that Lingxiao Sect had always followed were the privacy of the disciples of the extremely heavy sect. Every cave was protected by hidden formations. Without Cloud Talismans, it was almost impossible for others to enter.
A faint sound of water came from the depths of this cool and humid valley. Shen Shi glanced at the faintly visible waterfall in the distance and then turned around to walk out along the mountain path. The valley was quiet and spacious. Obviously, very few people would come here normally. When Shen Shi approached the exit of the valley, his gaze swept across a cave on the roadside. It was the only place nearby that he could see that someone had cleaned it. However, the stone door of the cave was still tightly shut, and he did not know who exactly was inside.
Shen Shi did not care. His gaze swept past the stone door and he walked over. The valley was quiet, and the sound of water was faint. The cave slowly disappeared behind him. He silently watched his back disappear into the valley.
After leaving the valley, he felt that the surroundings suddenly lit up a little. This feeling made Shen Shi feel a little strange. Thinking about it, perhaps the valley was filled with moisture. Although it was uncomfortable for people, it was extremely beneficial to the growth of vegetation. In retrospect, the forest in the valley seemed to be thicker and taller than outside.
However, these were trivial matters. Shen Shi didn’t care too much about them. He walked along the mountain path. At this moment, his goal was to head to the Spirit Medicine Hall in the middle of the mountain. No matter what, he would first retrieve the Spirit Pill that Senior Brother Du had mentioned. Three years ago, he had already cultivated to a high level of the Qi Refining Realm. These days, he had obtained spirit crystals and started cultivating again. Shen Shi felt that his spirit energy was becoming more and more abundant. Occasionally, he would have intentions of surging. Perhaps in the near future, he would start to break through to the Origin Condensation Realm.
Compared to the middle section of Jinhong Mountain, where many disciples were gathered in and out of the halls, the lower section was filled with disciples living and cultivating in caves. The entire journey was much quieter. Either they were away from home or they were cultivating behind closed doors. However, Shen Shi also encountered some Lingxiao Sect disciples along the way. Some people did not pay attention to him, and some people noticed that his cultivation realm revealed a somewhat surprised expression. However, perhaps it was because he was too lazy to meddle in other people’s affairs, so he did not say anything else.
Along the mountain path, the distant palace pavilion once again appeared in his line of sight.

The Spirit Medicine Hall was a subordinate of the Pill Hall. It specialized in selling all kinds of miraculous pills refined in the Lingxiao Sect Pill Hall. The supplementary effects of many spirit pills on cultivation were self-evident. They had always been important supplementary spirit medicines for cultivators. Therefore, the popularity of these palaces was extremely high. Shen Shi basically didn’t expend any effort to find out where the Spirit Medicine Hall was.
It was a tall and spacious hall. It was a conspicuous location in the middle of the mountain. When Shen Shi walked outside the Spiritual Medicine Hall, there were many Lingxiao Sect disciples coming and going around. Each of them had at least the cultivation of the Origin Condensation Realm. This caused Shen Shi to feel an inexplicable sense of pressure amidst the crowd. The sudden appearance of his unfamiliar face attracted the attention of some Lingxiao Sect disciples, but what was even more shocking was that Shen Shi was only at the high-level Qi Refining Realm.
When did a disciple of the Qi Refining Realm actually appear on Golden Rainbow Mountain?
A few peculiar gazes quickly swept over, Shen Shi only felt a little uncomfortable. However, he was already prepared for this kind of attention. Perhaps, as Senior Brother Du said, everything else was not important. As a matter of urgency, he still needed to upgrade to the Origin Condensation Realm as soon as possible. In this way, all the troubles and unnecessary attention would naturally dissipate.
To achieve this goal, this unknown Realm Breaking Spirit Pill was obviously even more important.
Shen Shi took a deep breath and walked into the tall hall.
At the entrance was a large row of tall wooden shelves. They were bright yellow in color and were over ten meters tall. Countless jade bottles and porcelain pots were placed on them one after another. A faint fragrance of spirit herbs permeated the hall, as if as long as they reached this point, they would feel their minds sober up.
The medicine rack occupied more than half of the main hall, Then, a row of wooden cabinets half a person tall stood in front of him. There were several people standing in the wooden cabinet. It seemed that the disciples of the Pill Hall were on duty here, On the other side of the wooden cabinet were many Lingxiao Sect disciples. Some of them were silent, while others were discussing in pairs. Occasionally, people would walk to the wooden cabinet and talk to the disciples of the Pill Hall. After that, they would see him pay more or less for the spirit crystals. The disciples of the Pill Hall took out some unknown pills from the shelves and handed them to him.
Shen Shi glanced around and discovered that there were about six or seven disciples on duty behind the wooden cabinet. There were men and women. Each of them had a relaxed expression. Apart from the few disciples standing at the counter, there were also a few disciples who did not have the intention to come over to help at the medicine rack. They were whispering to each other about something. The surrounding disciples of Lingxiao Sect were all very polite to these disciples of the Pill Hall. After all, the Pill Hall was one of the most important entrances of Lingxiao Sect’s sect, and they also possessed important spiritual materials such as spirit pills. They could not be easily offended.
Shen Shi walked over and waited for a disciple of the High Firmament Sect to buy the pills and leave before he walked to the wooden cabinet. At the other end of the counter was a round-faced man. His gaze landed on Shen Shi and he said, “What do you want … eh, your cultivation?”
Shen Shi’s face revealed a look of surprise. A few gazes swept over from the side. Shen Shi felt that his face was a little hot, but he did not reveal too many strange expressions. He wore a smile on his face and said, “Hello Senior Brother, I want to get a Barrier Breaking Pill. This is my Cloud Talisman …”
The round-faced disciple was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he took Shen Shi’s Cloud Talisman. At the same time, he frowned and said, “We don’t have such a rule here. We all need to use spirit stones to buy medicinal pills.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and said, “It was Senior Brother Du Tiejian who asked me to come over. He said that he had already given an explanation.” After pausing for a moment, he added, “Senior Brother, please check. Uh … my name is Shen Shi.”
“Pa!”
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from behind the medicine rack. The disciples of the Pill Hall behind the wooden cabinet seemed to be shocked. They all turned their heads to look. It seemed that someone had accidentally broken a jade bottle containing spirit pills on the side of the medicine rack.
