Killing God - Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Heart Returning Palace
The Little Hei pig always seemed to be so happy, As he followed Shen Shi towards Guanhai platform, He jumped and jogged along the stone steps of the mountain path and occasionally drilled into the dense green bushes on both sides of the road. He didn’t know what he had secretly done inside. After a while, he snorted and ran out again. He returned to Shen Shi’s side. Occasionally, he would even rub his body a few times. He was very intimate.

As they approached the platform, the number of Ling Xiao Sect disciples in the surroundings began to increase. When Shen Shi once again stood on the platform that had seven enormous pillars of Hongjun standing on it, and his field of vision was wide enough to look at the boundless ocean, he felt the sea breeze blowing towards him. The sky was high and the sea was vast, and the heavens and earth were boundless.

There were already many Ling Xiao Sect disciples walking in and out of the plaza around the viewing platform, especially near the important halls and pavilions in the surroundings, and their popularity was quite high. Perhaps because he had already broken through to the Origin Condensation Realm a few days ago, Shen Shi unknowingly calmed down a lot. It seemed that he no longer felt the same sense of urgency as before, and the inexplicable pressure was much less.

In the past few days, while he was cultivating in the cave, he had also carefully read the rules of the Ling Xiao Sect disciples and the Geographical Records of Hai Zhou that day. Therefore, he now had a basic understanding of the daily cultivation life of the sect and the various rules of the sect. The Ling Xiao Sect would give each Origin Condensation Realm disciple 15 spirit crystals every month. This was the most basic requirement for guaranteeing cultivation. However, anyone who had a slight pursuit of cultivation would know that this spirit crystal was simply unable to support a cultivator’s cultivation at full strength.

All sorts of miraculous pills, all sorts of precious and rare spirit materials, all sorts of supplementary resources, which one didn’t require a large number of spirit crystals to support?

As long as the disciples who entered Lingxiao Sect cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm and reached Jinhong Mountain, the restrictions on Qingyu Island would be released. In other words, the difference in family background would begin to be revealed after they ascended to Jinhong Mountain. Those wealthy vassal clans could use the spirit crystals accumulated by their clans to support their own disciples almost without any restrictions. This allowed people from aristocratic families like Sun You and the Zhong Clan sisters to take advantage of them and avoid many detours. As for Shen Shi, an ordinary disciple that no clansman thought he could rely on, he had no choice but to spend a lot of effort on how to earn spirit crystals.

Of course, this could not be said to be fair, and it was precisely because of this that the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect would often be separated from the disciples of ordinary families, and they would faintly form two discordant circles. However, this was only a general statement. Friends were best known to one another. Friends on both sides of the aisle were often seen. For example, Shen Shi and Sun You were not uncommon.

Shen Shi naturally envied the disciples of aristocratic families who had families to support spirit crystals in their hearts. However, compared to his fellow disciples who were indignant and grumbling, his mentality was very calm. The reason was also very simple. Looking at the rogue cultivators outside Lingxiao Sect, he was considered to be extremely lucky.

Along the way to the east side of Guanhai platform, Shen Shi stopped outside a tall hall. He looked up and saw that the hall was towering, magnificent, and the eaves carved beasts were lifelike. Most of the red-painted pillars and black-green doors and windows were open. A large plaque hung above the main door with three words written on it: Return to the Heart Hall.

A palace that could occupy a conspicuous position around the viewing platform, They were all very important places under the Ling Xiao Sect, and this Heart Return Hall was no exception. Shen Shi also knew from the disciple rules that introduced the various rules of the Ling Xiao Sect and even the situation of the sect that this Heart Return Hall was exactly where the White Crane Hall on Golden Rainbow Mountain resembled the Green Fish Island. It was the hall where the sect issued various missions to all disciples.

Such a place would naturally be one of the most popular places in the sect. The Lingxiao Sect disciples walking in and out were crowded with each other. It was very lively. Shen Shi also followed the flow of people and brought the Little Hei Pig into this large-scale hall.

After entering the hall, There was no dark feeling in front of him. The doors and windows around the hall shone brightly. There’s plenty of light, It was no different from the one on the viewing platform outside, Within the spacious space within the hall, the two stone walls were the most eye-catching. Each of them was several dozen feet long, and one could vaguely feel the flow of spiritual energy. One was white, the other was dark gold, and the color was different. However, clear words appeared on the stone walls. Spiritual light flickered, as if the two stone walls themselves were spirit artifacts and magic treasures that could not be underestimated.

Shen Shi also opened his eyes. He vaguely guessed. He walked closer and looked carefully. Indeed, the characters on the two stone walls were written at the entrances of the various halls of the sect or were issued directly as the missions of the Lingxiao Sect sect. Compared to the appearance of the stickers on the wooden boards in the White Crane Hall in Qingyu Island, they were indeed different from the others on Golden Rainbow Mountain.

Shen Shi chuckled softly in his heart. Like the surrounding disciples of Lingxiao Sect, he began to carefully read the mission text on the stone walls. After looking at the two stone walls for a while and comparing them, Shen Shi discovered that there were some differences. The white stone walls were relatively ordinary missions. The sect or the entrance of the hall that issued the missions would give the disciples more or less spirit crystal rewards for completing the missions. Generally speaking, the rewards were not bad. The number of quests on the golden wall was obviously much smaller than that on the white wall. However, the number of disciples surrounding the golden wall was indeed greater. That was because only those quests on the golden wall would receive a reward that was more important than the reward of spirit crystals. That was, the number of profound talismans that Young Friend Sun had mentioned to him yesterday.

According to the introduction in the disciple’s rules, Shen Shi now had a clearer understanding of the Profound Talisman Count. He knew that although the Spiritual Crystals under Lingxiao Sect were extremely useful, some of the most important and highest-end cultivation resources required this kind of Profound Talisman Count, or the number of points obtained from the Profound Talisman.

For example, a second-grade spirit pill or lower in the Spirit Medicine Hall could be purchased and consumed with spirit crystals. However, once one reached the third grade, the value of a spirit pill would skyrocket. At the same time, a portion of rare spirit pills at the first grade could no longer be purchased with spirit crystals. They could only be exchanged by consuming a fixed number of profound talismans. On the other hand, when it came to fourth grade and above spirit pills, one could only use profound symbols to count them.

Similarly, there were also various spiritual materials related to cultivation, including all kinds of minerals, formations, spirit artifacts, magic treasures, The only exception was the secret scrolls of the various Dao Arts and divine abilities that the disciples themselves wanted to cultivate. Apart from one of the seventeen Dao Arts that could be selected free of charge from the Golden Rainbow Mountain, all of the Dao Arts and divine abilities of the Ling Xiao Sect in the future would require the use of profound talisman counts to exchange for.

Unless … a disciple officially joined one of the twenty-two Origin Core Realm Grand Daoists of the Soaring Firmament Sect, then there would naturally be no additional restrictions on the dao techniques and divine abilities that Master would impart to his disciples.

However, of course, all of this was still extremely far away from Shen Shi. In fact, less than half of the thousands of direct disciples on Golden Rainbow Mountain were lucky enough to be valued by Origin Core Realm Adepts and recruited into their sect. Therefore, Shen Shi didn’t think too much about it now. He still wanted to find some missions and earn spirit crystals first.

However, after reaching the Origin Condensation Realm, The Soaring Firmament Sect would no longer restrict their disciples from going out. As long as they paid for a spirit crystal, they would be able to travel to the mainland by the sect’s Sea Crossing Immortal Ark and travel to various parts of the Sea Continent. Therefore, even if they didn’t take on sect missions, they would still be able to exchange for spirit crystals as long as they did some things like picking herbs or hunting demonic beasts to collect spirit materials before selling them to shops in Floating Cloud City.

Shen Shi had such a plan in his heart. However, the reward for the sect mission was said to be better than running around blindly, Therefore, he carefully looked at the white wall. As for the Golden Wall’s mission of rewarding Xuan Fu counts, Shen Shi helplessly gave up after reading a few mission introductions. Such a rewarding mission, The difficulty was not a bit higher than the White Wall’s mission here, Often, he would have to face dangerous and unpredictable places, or even search for rare heavenly treasures. There were even some missions that stated that he had to deal with some Tier 4 or Tier 5 demonic beasts that had already cultivated into Demonic Cores and were extremely powerful. This was truly beyond Shen Shi’s ability. He could only give up helplessly.

Shen Shi secretly said to himself in his heart, “If you have the chance to have strength in the future, go take a look again. In any case, you always have to walk step by step.”

He stayed on White Wall’s side for a long time, Looking at a lot of missions, Shen Shi noticed that the mission requirements here seemed to be different from those in the Qingyu Island in the past. There are generally no fixed limits, but they all have clear time requirements, For example, the Pill Hall issued a mission, Within seven days, he would collect four kinds of spirit materials, namely, Stonecutter, Jade Magpie Root, Spider Grass, and Black Toad Skin. There was no limit to the amount. The rewards varied depending on the spirit materials handed over. If only one or two spirit materials were handed over, the amount of spirit crystals received would be average. However, if four spirit materials were handed over at the same time, the reward spirit crystals would be greatly increased. It could be considered quite generous, but the requirement was that they would no longer be collected after seven days.

Shen Shi thought for a moment. He remembered that Shi Luo and the other four spirit materials seemed to be the main ingredients for refining a Flower Pine Pill. In terms of grade alone, they were already Tier 3 spirit pills. Because of his previous experiences in the Heavenly First Floor, he was very familiar with these four spirit materials. He planned to see if there was a chance to do this. Perhaps he could try this task.

Just as he was pondering, Shen Shi suddenly felt that someone had lightly patted him on the shoulder from behind. He turned around and saw that there was a beautiful woman standing behind him, smiling as she looked at him.

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Zhong Qinglu, are you also here to see the mission?”

Zhong Qinglu smiled faintly. Her beautiful hair and bright eyes were as light as water. It was as if she had unknowingly caused the surrounding crowd to lose their colors, leaving only her gentle and gentle smile in everyone’s eyes.

“Yes.” She smiled as she looked at the mission on the white wall in front of her and said, “Eh, this is our Pill Hall’s mission. Are you interested?”

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “I just came over to take a look. However, if I really want to do these White Wall missions, I’m afraid I’ll have to temper myself for some time.”

Zhong Qinglu nodded and said, “That’s right. When we first went up the mountain, we had a lot of trouble in the beginning. Let’s not talk about anything else, just going to the surrounding treasure lands that produce all kinds of spirit materials to find out the terrain will take a lot of effort.”

At this point, she paused for a moment and glanced at Shen Shi. A faint smile carried a hint of satisfaction and gentleness as she said, “Looks like that Barrier Breaking Pill is quite effective. You’ve only been back in the mountains for a few days now, and it’s already broken through to Ning Yuan in an instant.”

Shen Shi smiled and nodded. “I’m lucky, right? Alright, you watch first. I’m going to make money.” He said the last sentence with a bit of a joke. Unknowingly, he suddenly felt as if he was familiar with her back in Qingyu Island. At that time, it was as if he could tell some jokes with this girl more easily in his memory.

She didn’t know if she suddenly had a similar feeling. A strange but gentle expression flashed across Zhong Qinglu’s face. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly stopped Shen Shi, who had already taken a few steps, and then pulled him to a deserted place at the edge of the hall.

Shen Shi was a little surprised and said, “What’s wrong?”

Zhong Qinglu remained silent for a moment and looked at him deeply. Then, she said softly,

“Do you still remember our deal back then?”
