Killing God - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Xin Yi
“The first to see what?” Zhong Qinglu asked.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head and said, “… old friend.”

Zhong Qinglu glared at him and suddenly spat, “Am I very old?”

Shen Shi immediately shook his head and laughed, “No, no, you have nothing to do with the old words. To be honest, you are much more beautiful now … eh?”

As soon as he said that, Shen Shi faintly regretted it. He felt that his words seemed to be a little frivolous. However, looking at Zhong Qinglu’s expression, he did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he smiled brightly. Somehow, after being glared at by her like this, Shen Shi suddenly felt a familiar feeling. It was as if he had seen the arrogant little girl who liked to lose her temper in Qingyu Island back then.

Compared to how he felt today and in the past, Many of the Lingxiao Sect disciples who were slightly farther away but secretly paying attention to this place said, In particular, the disciples under the Pill Hall were stunned. In recent years, Zhong Qinglu had enjoyed a smooth life. She had shown extraordinary talent in cultivation and pill concoction. In addition, her appearance had become increasingly beautiful. She was very popular among the new batch of young disciples of Lingxiao Sect. There were quite a few admirers, but it was rare to find anyone who pretended to say goodbye to others.

However, who was this Shen Shi? Why did he seem to be able to joke with Zhong Qinglu? Furthermore, looking at Zhong Qinglu’s expression, it was obvious that he was different from the others.

Shen Shi quickly felt the strange and surprised gazes coming from his surroundings again. Shen Shi frowned slightly. Zhong Qinglu seemed to have noticed something as well. Her expression sank slightly. However, no one could say anything else about this invisible matter. After pondering for a moment, he smiled at Zhong Qinglu and said, “I came here to retrieve this Barrier Breaking Pill. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

Zhong Qinglu raised her eyebrows and hesitated to say anything. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, “Alright, since you’re back, there will be more opportunities to meet and talk in the future. Oh right, are you living on the mountain now? In which cave are you staying? I’ll tell Qing Zhu, Sun You, and Xiao Mei about this news later. They will definitely be very happy.”

Shen Shi nodded and told her where he lived. Then, he smiled and pointed at the cloud talisman that was still in Zhong Qinglu’s hand. Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “I’m also confused.”

As he spoke, he handed this cloud talisman back to Shen Shi. Shen Shi took it and then turned around to leave the Spirit Medicine Hall.

Zhong Qinglu watched as he walked out of the Spirit Medicine Hall. She watched as the figure gradually disappeared. She unknowingly fell silent. However, she suddenly raised her head and looked around. She noticed that there were many people looking at her intentionally or unintentionally. Zhong Qinglu’s expression immediately sank. She snorted and ignored these boring people. She walked back to the back of the Spirit Medicine Hall on her own.

However, compared to those Lingxiao Sect disciples outside, A few disciples of the Pill Hall near the medicine rack behind the counter said, Especially a few female disciples. After all, they were sisters that they usually met. Their friendship was not bad. At this moment, they all smiled and surrounded Zhong Qinglu. They pulled her to the side and asked her with a few beaming mouths. They asked Zhong Qinglu to tell them honestly who this young man was and why would she look at him differently?

Zhong Qinglu was surrounded by them. Her cheeks were slightly red as she spat, “What’s the point of looking at each other differently? Nothing much. She was just an ordinary friend who entered the sect together on the Qingyu Island back then.”

“Oh?” The few replies were meaningful. Those girls weren’t too old to Zhong Qinglu. They had entered the mountain gate in one or two periods, so they could usually be considered friends. At this time, a girl smiled and said, “If you are an ordinary friend, why are you blushing? I’ve never seen you like this before.”

Zhong Qinglu suddenly became angry and said angrily, “Whoever blushes, whoever blushes, I am so angry with you gossipy ladies! Ignoring you, I will go to the back to tidy up the pills.”

Behind the smiling female disciples of the Pill Hall, beside the wooden cabinet, the round-faced Ji Anfu’s expression became extremely ugly.

Zhong Qinglu walked all the way to the tall medicine rack. It looked like she was checking the spirit pill bottle to sort out the medicine rack. However, for some reason, her mind was still somewhat uneasy. After a moment of silence, she gently touched her cheek, as if she was in a trance for an instant. Then, she slowly stretched out her hand to her waist. There was a pale purple Ruyi bag hanging there. It looked very beautiful when carefully crafted.

Her fair fingers flicked on the Ruyi bag. A moment later, a white jade bottle appeared in her palm. It was different from the bottles on the medicine shelves around her. This jade bottle was obviously more rough. In Lingxiao Sect, it was usually only used by those disciples who were on the Qingyu Island. The surroundings of the bottle looked very smooth, as if they were often rubbed by others.

Zhong Qinglu looked at the small white jade bottle quietly. She was dazed, as if she had fallen into a memory from a long time ago. She gently touched the bottle with her finger. The familiar feeling was the same as before. It was like that night three years ago when she quietly stood on the dock in Qingyu Island.

Suddenly, she smiled softly in the shadow of the medicine rack in this unseen corner.

The smile seemed to come from the depths of his heart, as beautiful as a flower of his heart, blooming in an instant, with dazzling beauty.

After putting away the Barrier Breaking Pill, Shen Shi walked down the mountain and returned to the secluded valley. By this time, the sky had gradually darkened. It looked like dusk. The light in the valley was even darker than outside. The ancient trees were towering and the old vines were drooping. There was a faint gloomy look on their faces. Only the sound of rumbling water from afar had added some vitality to the silent valley.

Shen Shi walked along the mountain path. Jinhong Mountain is that most important place in Lingxiao Sect, In the Spirit Mountain Immortal Realm, of course, it was impossible for there to be any demon spirits. Even if there were, they would have been completely suppressed by countless cultivators on the mountain. Therefore, Shen Shi did not have the slightest bit of fear. However, looking at the cold scenery in the valley before night fell, his heart felt a bit lonely.

When he passed by the cave that was more than fifty zhang away from his own cave, but was still barely considered his only neighbor in the valley, Shen Shi turned around and saw that the stone door was still tightly shut and still cold, as if the owner of the cave hadn’t come out for a day.

Shen Shi’s gaze paused on the stone door for a moment, but his footsteps did not stop at all. He walked over gently like this, leaving the cave behind a darker and darker shadow.

The heavy stone door opened and closed. The cave was cold and dark. Shen Shi stood there as if he was pondering for a moment. Then, he took out the Cloud Talisman and tried to inject spiritual energy. As expected, a faint light flashed on the Cloud Talisman. Several rooms in the cave lit up with bright light. The source of the light was the beads at the top of the cave.

The layout here was indeed similar to that on Qingyu Island, but the size and specifications of the cave residence were much more magnificent.

Shen Shi smiled and walked into the bedroom. He saw that the Little Hei pig on the bed was still sleeping. He couldn’t help but be stunned. It seemed that he had been running around with the Little Hei pig for a very long time. The Little Hei pig didn’t seem to be as sleepy as it was when he was a child. He didn’t expect that it would actually be so sleepy today.

Could it be that even he knew that his current life had settled down, and that he would be able to sleep soundly in the future?

Looks like his nature is really hard to change!

Shen Shi smiled and shook his head. He sat down by the bed and touched the little black pig’s head. The little black pig did not wake up, but his mouth twitched a few times in his sleep. He wondered if he was dreaming of something good to eat.

Shen Shi retracted his hand and pondered for a moment before he got up and walked to the other side of the bedroom. He sat down cross-legged on the stone couch where the two praying mats were placed. In the middle of the stone couch, there was a small raised table that separated the two praying mats into two meditation seats. It looked smooth and flat. Shen Shi took out the Barrier Breaking Pill from his bosom, as well as a few spirit crystals that flickered non-stop, and placed them on the stone table beside him.

The Spiritual Crystal’s light intertwined with the Starlight Pearl above his head, refracting a multicolored, translucent, and beautiful luster. It even shone a rainbow colored neon light on the stone wall behind Shen Shi, appearing so gorgeous and colorful. Shen Shi picked up a Spirit Crystal and held it in front of his eyes. He carefully looked at it, and then quietly clenched it tightly.

On a Golden Rainbow Mountain where everyone was at least at the Origin Condensation Realm, the invisible pressure was much greater than he had expected. The result of this pressure was that Shen Shi’s desire to cultivate became even stronger.

He closed his eyes and clenched the spirit crystal in his palm.

It was a glimmer of light in the darkness. It was so familiar and seemed strangely distant. However, Shen Shi had already experienced this feeling countless times in his past cultivation. Even though there had been a gap of three years in the middle, in the days after returning to the Mortal World, his body was quickly adapting to his daily cultivation.

However, he could clearly feel that, The Spiritual Energy in his body was different from when he left Qingyu Island three years ago. Although the total amount of spiritual energy had not increased in the past three years, But because he cultivated the Yin Yang Curse, The Spiritual Energy in his meridians was no longer as completely loose as it had been in the Qi Refining Realm. Especially after cultivating the Heavenly Underworld Curse and undergoing that strange purification and refinement, Shen Shi even faintly felt that his control over the spiritual energy around his body had reached a level that he could handle easily. That feeling … was just like the legendary Yuan Condensation Realm after opening the Qi Sea Jade Mansion.

This evening was the first day he returned to Golden Rainbow Mountain.

In the quiet stone room of this secluded valley, he cultivated quietly.

Suddenly, in a world as dark and deep as an abyss, he saw a familiar glimmer of light, but at the same time, he seemed to hear the sound of tidal waves.

It was the Qi meridians around his body. Suddenly, there was a response. Every single strand of the Qi meridians that contained Spiritual Energy began to tremble slightly. The lazy Spiritual Energy that covered his body seemed to have been suddenly awakened. All of them moved and began to gather from all directions like a tide.

The faint light in the darkness instantly lit up like a planet exploding in the eternal darkness. It emitted a dazzling light that could not be seen directly. The sound of the mysterious waves rose, gradually surging, wave after wave, endless, rumbling from all corners of his body.
