Killing God - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Fruit Evaluation
In this world, Immortal Dao Da Chang of the Primordial Chaos World Ever since humanity overthrew the heyday of Demon race ten thousand years ago, On the basis of the various immortal dao divine abilities that had been passed down through the spirit crystals to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, all sorts of magical and powerful divine abilities had been created during these ten thousand years by countless mysterious and mysterious people and geniuses who had painstakingly cultivated and studied them. In the current Primordial Chaos Human Cultivation World, there was indeed a scene of a hundred flowers blooming in full bloom.

After the humans had driven away the demons and unified the Primordial Chaos Realm, they had not formed a court like the previous generation of demons. On the contrary, powerful cultivation sects and aristocratic families had replaced the previous rule of the demons and become the strongest force in the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Cultivators, commonly known as cultivators, were the ident.i.ties that everyone in this prosperous era respected the most. In the hearts of ordinary people, they had already referred to the relationship that could be related to the cultivation world as Immortal Fate. This could be seen from this.

Under this background, the cultivators in the Primordial Chaos Realms were naturally countless like crucian carps, thus forming the mysterious, mysterious, magnificent, and colorful cultivation realms in the hearts of ordinary people. Among them, the gigantic sects and famous clans in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm led by the Four Righteousness and Seven Profound Sects were naturally the strongest group of people in the Primordial Chaos Continent. But there are many more and countless ordinary people. Yes, even in the cultivation world, compared to the disciples of famous sects, there were still cultivators who were living a difficult life, commonly known as rogue cultivators, struggling to survive and pursuing their dreams of cultivating for a long time.

The population of rogue cultivators was extremely large. No one knew how many people there were. However, it was generally believed that the lowest ranked rogue cultivators accounted for at least half of the cultivators in the cultivation world. These rogue cultivators all had their own sources, There were plenty of introductory manuals that he didn’t know where to find, Or perhaps he was lucky enough to have a heavenly treasure with him. Of course, there were also people who left some cultivation sects to cultivate and walk alone in Jianghu for various reasons. In short, there were all sorts of strange reasons and all sorts of sources. Thus, it could be considered a strange and unique scene in the cultivation world of the Primordial Chaos World.

On the first floor of the Shen Clan, the main source of customers for shops selling spiritual materials and precious artifacts was these seemingly endless rogue cultivators.

Right now, Shen Shi walked briskly to the long counter on the west side of the Heavenly First Floor. At this moment, there were quite a few people standing on both sides of the counter. Inside was the shopkeeper of the Heavenly First Floor in uniform, Outside the counter were all sorts of people, Most of them were rogue cultivators, A few of them looked extraordinary, It was unknown if it was the disciples sent out by a few nearby cultivation sects. After all, Xilu City was the most prosperous city in the Heavenly Yin Mountain Range of the Yin Province. All kinds of spirit materials were the most complete. When cultivators from some sects encountered something that was urgently needed, important, or unimportant, they would often come to Xilu City to look for it.

Little Red, who had just called Shen Shi, was standing in a corner of the counter. There was a man standing outside the counter. After calling Shen Shi over, Xiao Hong smiled at first, as if she was a little embarrassed. She whispered, “Little Shi, this customer wants to sell a ‘Black Copper Fruit’, but I’m not very familiar with this kind of spirit fruit. Can you help me take a look?”

Shen Shi chuckled and said, “Alright.”

However, at this moment, a stunned and slightly angry voice came from the side. “Are you mistaken? How did you do business on the first floor of the Heavens? Don’t tell me you don’t understand the Black Copper Fruit, but you actually found a hairy child to appraise my precious Spirit Fruit. Is there something wrong with it?”

Shen Shi turned around and saw that the person who spoke was the middle-aged man standing opposite Xiao Hong. He was dressed like a middle-aged man. There were already many wrinkles on his face. He looked like a rogue cultivator who had been depressed for many years. At this moment, his face was filled with anger as he stared at Xiao Hong and him.

Shen Shi hesitated. On the other hand, Xiao Hong had been on the first floor of the Heavens for several years. She was also experienced in dealing with these rogue cultivators. She wasn’t angry at this moment. She smiled slightly and said, “Don’t be angry. Don’t look at Little Stone, he is the only son of the shopkeeper on the first floor of the Heavens. He grew up on the first floor of the Heavens.” Not to mention anything else, There were all sorts of precious treasures, miraculous medicines, herbs, and so on that were traded everyday in this building. “This little fellow has seen more than anyone else. He has also studied with the old men in the building for several years. Now, his eyes are poisonous. Even Elder Song of the Dark Yin Sect came to see him once and praised him endlessly. He has already told us that if he encounters any hesitant things, he just needs to ask our young master.”

When the rogue cultivator heard this, his anger slightly subsided, but there was still a hint of suspicion between his eyebrows. He looked at Shen Shi up and down, and it was obvious that he did not completely believe Miss Xiao Hong’s words.

Shen Shi wasn’t angry either. He exchanged glances with Xiao Hong, thinking that this person was most likely a wandering cultivator who had come to Xilu City. Otherwise, if he was a cultivator who often walked around Xilu City, he would most likely have heard of the name of the little stone on the first floor of one of the two big shops in the city.

Shen Shi ignored the suspicious gaze of the rogue cultivator and leaned against the counter. He said to Xiao Hong, “Where’s the item? Let me see it first.”

Xiao Hong turned to look at the rogue cultivator and said, “Guest officer?”

The rogue cultivator hesitated for a moment and frowned. Finally, he unwillingly took out a wooden box from his bosom. He placed it on the flat counter in a precious and heavy place and said, “Look.” After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly warned, “Children, just take a look. Don’t touch it randomly. Otherwise, if you lose the spirit energy of the spirit fruit or break this rare treasure, I won’t let you go!”

Shen Shi glanced at the middle-aged rogue cultivator and smiled as he agreed. Then, he took the wooden box and placed it on the counter without leaving the cabinet. First, he touched the surface of the wooden box with his hand. After pondering for a moment, he paused for a moment before loosening the button and opening the wooden box.

As the lid of the wooden box flipped open, A faint fragrance of fruit faintly drifted out from the wooden box. Under the joint gazes of the three of them, there were several layers of soft blue silk in the wooden box. In the middle was a black fruit the size of a thumb. Its color was dark green and black, its appearance was round and full, its skin was lustrous, and it flickered with a faint black light.

Shen Shi’s gaze was bright as he carefully sized up the black fruit. He did not intend to touch it with his hand, but just stared at it silently, as if he was deep in thought. The rogue cultivator’s middle-aged man was anxious. After waiting for a moment, he couldn’t wait to say, “How is it? This black copper fruit of mine isn’t bad, right? It was picked with great difficulty in the high Magus Mountain in the north of Yin Province. Looking at its appearance, it can be worth at least ten … No, it can sell for at least fifteen spirit crystals, right?”

After a moment of silence, Shen Shi gently pushed the wooden box containing the black fruit towards the loose cultivator. The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and asked in shock, “What should I say?”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “This guest, I’m sorry. We don’t buy this item on the first floor of the Heavens.”

The middle-aged man’s expression instantly sank. But before he could curse angrily, Shen Shi had already said, “Because the item in this box is not the Black Copper Fruit ranked second in the Primordial Chaos Pharmacopoeia published by the Divine Immortal Association. It is a special fruit in the high Magus Mountain called the Black Snake Fruit. It does not contain any spiritual energy. Whether it is for cultivators’ cultivation or alchemy, it is useless.”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. His expression changed drastically. His eyes glared at the boss. There was a faint trace of blood in his eyes, revealing a vicious light. He said fiercely, “Bastard brat, if you continue to talk nonsense, do you believe this daddy will kill you?”

Shen Shi’s expression did not change. Standing there with a calm expression, On the other hand, when Little Red, who was on the other side of the counter, heard this, her expression changed. Her expression suddenly turned cold and she said indifferently, “This guest, please be careful. Although the Heavenly Floor is open for business and valued peace, since this building is the property of the Mysterious Yin Sect, it is not so easy to be bullied by others.”

Once the three words “Profound Yin Sect” entered his ears, the middle-aged rogue cultivator’s body trembled and his ferocious aura instantly dissipated. However, there was still a trace of anger and unwillingness on his face. One had to know whether or not the cultivators in the cultivation world had sent out their bodies in the current world. The status of disciples of the sects and ordinary rogue cultivators was truly far from that of ordinary cultivators. Even though the number of rogue cultivators was extremely large, apart from a few exceptional individuals, the vast majority of them were the lowest ranked figures in the cultivation world. They absolutely did not dare to provoke famous sects in the cultivation world. In terms of strength alone, These cultivation sects that were able to survive in the fierce competition of the cultivation world today, Their strength couldn’t be underestimated, let alone the famous Profound Yin Sect in the Yin Province. Even though they couldn’t compare to the top sects of the Four Righteous Profound Seven Profound Sects in the cultivation world, compared to these rogue cultivators at the bottom of the cultivation world, they were truly gigantic existences. They could crush them to death with just a single finger.

Shen Shi smiled. He didn’t care about the viciousness of this rogue cultivator not long ago. He had grown up on the first floor of the Heavens. He had seen countless similar scenes. He only smiled faintly and said to this middle-aged rogue cultivator, “If you don’t believe me, then I’ll ask you. You said that this fruit is a black copper fruit. How did you determine it?”

Without hesitation, the rogue cultivator blurted out, “Needless to say, it’s completely black. It’s as big as a finger, born in the dark and humid mountains. The consequences of maturation are odd fragrance, rich in spiritual effects, and it’s a necessary herbal medicine for refining several spirit pills.”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “That’s right. I’m quite familiar with the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia.”

The rogue cultivator was praised, and his expression immediately became much gentler. He snorted and said, “Nonsense, we rogue cultivators are all relying on ourselves. The demonic beasts are too powerful to hunt. Most of the time, we can only rely on picking some spirit herbs and fruit to replace spirit crystals for cultivation. If we don’t have good eyesight, then that would be fine.”

Shen Shi smiled but didn’t say anything. He pushed the wooden box closer to him and said, “There are so many spiritual herbs in the world. There are 13,750 species recorded in the Primordial Chaos Pharmacopoeia alone. Most of them are just a few simple words. Take a closer look at the black fruit’s skin. Hmm … Pick it up and take a closer look at the light.”

The rogue cultivator was stunned for a moment. His face revealed a hint of suspicion. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly picked up the wooden box. He turned around and looked at the bright spot at the door. He narrowed his eyes slightly and read carefully. “This is clearly the Black Copper Fruit, so he insisted on talking nonsense about the Black Snake …”

Before he could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped. It was at this moment that the youth’s faint voice came from behind him and said, “Did you see that? Is there a black shadow vein beneath the bright skin that is slightly twisted and shaped like a black snake?”

The middle-aged rogue cultivator’s body froze as he held the wooden box for a long time without any reaction. He stared fixedly at the object in his hand with an inconceivable expression. However, the voice of the youth beside him was still calm as he said, “The real Black Copper Fruit is a black color, not this black and azure luster.” There was also the Big Finger recorded in the Pharmacopoeia, which actually referred to the little finger. This black fruit was too big. Apart from the reason why the Black Copper Fruit was rare, the most important reason was that after ripening, the fruit’s fragrance was exceptionally strong. It would not take long for it to attract demonic beasts in the mountains to eat it. That was why this type of spirit fruit was rare in the market. And this … ”

Shen Shi shook his head slightly and smiled, “The fragrance is too faint.”

At this moment, the middle-aged rogue cultivator was speechless. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he couldn’t say a word for a long time. Looking at his appearance, Shen Shi shook his head slightly and didn’t say anything else. He turned around to greet Xiao Hong, who was smiling again, and then walked away.

The first floor of the sky was bustling with people, A lively row of scenes. Shen Shi passed through the crowd. When he arrived at the gate, he accidentally looked back and saw that Little Red had already walked away to receive another customer who wanted to sell something. The middle-aged rogue cultivator from earlier was still standing there like a lost wood.

The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth twitched slightly. He did not look any further and turned around to walk out of the Heavenly First Floor.
