Killing God - Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Rumors
This time, Shen Shi had sold the herbs in the Spirit Medicine Hall in exchange for spirit crystals. Shen Shi had obtained quite a lot of spirit crystals, and he had managed to obtain 700 spirit crystals. However, the top-grade “corpse moss” he had obtained from the zombie ghost king in the nameless tomb on Mount Gaoling occupied a large portion of the total. This kind of spirit material could only be seen occasionally on the bodies of ghosts like zombies and skeletons. Its quantity was extremely small, and top-grade spirit materials were even rarer. In addition, in terms of the grade of spirit materials, corpse moss was also at the third grade. Therefore, Zhong Qinglu’s estimate for Shen Shi was very high, directly calculating the high price of his 580 spirit crystals.

Of course, the price was a bit eye-catching. The disciples of the Spirit Medicine Hall nearby noticed the situation. However, everyone, including Ruan Maocai, did not say anything in the end. At most, their gazes lingered on the spirit crystals for a while.

In contrast, Shen Shi was somewhat surprised. He had grown up in a shop like the Heavenly First Floor since he was young, and he knew the value of many spirit materials. Although corpse moss was a rare third-grade spirit material, he was still familiar with it. After pondering for a moment, he lowered his voice and said to Zhong Qinglu,

“Could it be that you’ve calculated too much for me? Will the others say anything?” As he spoke, his gaze swept across the surrounding Spirit Medicine Hall disciples.

Zhong Qinglu smiled faintly. She tidied up the spirit herbs and materials on the counter and placed them in different categories. At the same time, she said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. This corpse moss is extremely good and rare. Even if others twist their lips, I have nothing wrong with it.”

Shen Shi nodded. Without further ado, Since Zhong Qinglu was so calm, Naturally, she had her reasons, Even Shen Shi quickly remembered that Zhong Qinglu was a disciple that Elder Yunni, one of the Five Great Elders of the sect, valued. There was a high chance that Elder Yunni would recruit her. In addition, Elder Yunni herself was in charge of the affairs of the Spirit Medicine Hall. In such a situation, there was probably no one who wouldn’t open their eyes and say small things.

It’s good to have a backer!

Shen Shi grinned and smiled. Zhong Qinglu put away the spirit materials on the cabinet and glanced at him. “What are you laughing at?” She said.

Shen Shi smiled and didn’t say anything. He casually put the spirit crystal back into his Ruyi bag and smiled casually, “I think you’re much easier to talk to than when you were in Qingyu Island.”

Zhong Qing blushed and spat at him. Then, she changed the topic and said, “You said that you wanted to buy some Five Elements Arts from the Arts Hall. Why don’t you just think of a way to choose another Dao Art? After all, Dao Arts are the Righteous Dao. The difficulty of cultivating Five Elements Arts is limited, so it doesn’t feel very good.”

Shen Shi was speechless. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Zhong Qinglu shook her head and whispered, “I said it casually. Don’t take it to heart. I shouldn’t have talked too much about how to choose yourself.”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Of course, the power of a Dao Art divine ability is strong enough. However, first, it has been cultivating for too long. Second, it is much harder to obtain a cultivation method than to purchase a Five Elements Art directly from the Arts Hall.”

Zhong Qinglu nodded. He also understood this point in his heart. Lingxiao Sect was established ten thousand years ago, His foundation was incomparably deep, Naturally, there were many cultivation methods for Dao Arts and Divine Abilities, But there is no such thing as a free harvest under the heavens, The disciples who joined the Lingxiao Sect Sect, Unless they were lucky enough to obtain the favor of the Origin Core Realm Elders and receive them into their sect, so that they could pass on some of their master’s Dao Arts and divine abilities, ordinary disciples could only work diligently for the sect and accumulate merits, including the most important type of profound talisman counts. Only at a certain stage would they be able to exchange for the Dao Arts and divine abilities of the sect.

In fact, unlike an ordinary sect disciple like Shen Shi, Because her family background and talent were quite close to Zhong Qinglu, who was one of the core Grand Elders of Lingxiao Sect, He had also vaguely heard that amongst the twenty-two Origin Core Realm Adepts in Lingxiao Sect, there seemed to be a layer of tacit understanding, or restraint, that was, every Origin Core Realm Adept had a certain number of rules regarding the matter of accepting disciples.

In other words, every Origin Core Realm Grand Daoist could not recruit more than one personal disciple, and they could not impart too many techniques and secrets when imparting dao techniques and divine abilities.

This rumor had been circulating in Lingxiao Sect for a long time, but every Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm kept it a secret and never talked about it, so there was no way to prove it. However, Zhong Qinglu had also secretly noticed that there weren’t more than five Origin Core Realm elders and direct disciples in Lingxiao Sect. As for the number of Dao Arts and divine abilities that were taught, they were all secrets that everyone would strictly guard. Naturally, they wouldn’t be known by outsiders.

In fact, most Origin Core Realm elders were extremely cautious when accepting disciples. Few of them had five or four disciples, and most of them were only three or four. There were also quite a few elders who only had one or two disciples under their sect. For example, there were only Du Tiejian and Kang Chen disciples under Daoist Huaiyuan, the head of the Lingxiao Sect.

So in the past, Many sect disciples didn’t quite understand why these elders rarely accepted disciples, Even those Origin Core Realm elders from aristocratic families, For example, the Sun Clan’s ancestor, Sun Ming Yang, There was no intention to take care of my family in accepting disciples. Apart from taking the eldest son, Sun Hong, into his sect to nurture him personally, the other disciples were only Wang Gen and another disciple named Situ Jian. The rest of the Sun family disciples were quite a few in Lingxiao Sect, but none of them had the chance to join Elder Sun’s sect.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was naturally due to the fact that these Origin Core Realm cultivators were focused on cultivating and were impatient to be disturbed by mundane matters. However, only these elders knew whether this was the truth or not. However, in this way, those disciples who had already joined the sect of the elders in Lingxiao Sect would naturally have extremely high status and faintly surpass others. It was rumored that they were rising stars who were valued by an elder as promising entrance walls. Once they had such a hope, their status and status would immediately be different from others.

Zhong Qinglu was valued by Elder Yunni of the Spiritual Medicine Hall and then looked at each other in the hearts of the crowd. This was the case when Zhong Qingzhu was favored by Elder Le of the Array Hall.

As for an ordinary disciple like Shen Shi who had just broken through to the Origin Condensation Realm, he had never even heard of such a rumor.

At this moment, the transaction was clear. Shen Shi pondered for a moment and then said to Zhong Qinglu, “I have also paid attention to this trip, but I did not find the main ingredients of the six pill formulas you need …”

Zhong Qinglu shook her head and said, “It doesn’t matter. I know that this matter can’t be rushed. Take your time, don’t take it too seriously, and … don’t take any risks.”

However, Shen Shi knew that this was not the case. Zhong Qinglu painstakingly cultivated the pill for the sake of achieving early success, so as to add more weight for him to join Elder Yunni’s sect. How could he not be anxious about this matter? It was clear that the sooner the better. After all, the earlier she refined a Tier 3 Spirit Pill, the better her aptitude in alchemy was.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Shi said softly, “Why don’t you take some of my spirit crystals first? Although it’s impossible to buy too many, no matter what else, we can at least gather money to buy a pill recipe’s main ingredient first. How about you start concocting pills first?”

At this moment, regardless of whether it was Shen Shi or Zhong Qinglu, a strange expression flashed across their faces at the same time, as if they were faintly returning to the time when they were young on Bluefish Island.

Zhong Qinglu was a little distracted, but after a while, she calmed down. She shook her head with a smile and said, “There’s no need for that.” “Besides, I understand that the stronger you are, the more likely you are to help me find better spiritual herbs and materials. Therefore, if you don’t have to give me spiritual crystals, I can lend you some if you don’t have enough magic crystals this time.” After saying that, she paused for a moment and said, “I heard that after Elder Pu presided over the hall, one or two senior apprentice brothers and sisters came into the eyes of money. The price of that spell is very high.”

Shen Shi was stunned and said, “How tall is it?”

Zhong Qinglu waved her hand and said, “I don’t know either. I just heard about it.”

Shen Shi thought for a moment and smiled, “Alright, anyway, I’ll go over and ask. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

As he spoke, he greeted Zhong Qinglu and waved his hand to Zhong Qingzhu. When he saw Zhong Qingzhu standing at the side and smiling, indicating that he still wanted to stay here, as if he had something to say to Senior Brother Ruan Maocai, Shen Shi also smiled and nodded. Then, he turned around and left.

Behind him, Zhong Qingzhu watched as his figure disappeared from the entrance of the hall. He seemed to be deep in thought. A moment later, he said indifferently, “Senior Brother Ruan, I remember that Sister-in-law’s wife, that is Senior Sister Xu, worked in the hall.”

Ruan Maocai raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Not bad, what’s wrong?”

Zhong Qingzhu said, “There’s something I want to trouble Senior Sister Xu with.”

Ruan Maocai laughed heartily and extended his hand forward. He smiled sweetly and said, “It’s a small matter, but I’ll give you the benefits.”

Zhong Qingzhu snorted and glared at him unhappily. Then, his gaze was faint, but he looked at the crowd outside the Spirit Medicine Hall. However, at this moment, he could no longer see the back of that person.

④

At this moment, Shen Shi had already walked out of the Spirit Medicine Hall Returning to the viewing platform, The spacious platform plaza was extremely lively. Many Ling Xiao Sect disciples came and went in and out of the most lively places on the Golden Rainbow Mountain. Even on the spacious middle platform, there were quite a few people who casually walked around, chatted casually in groups of three or two, or peered through the railings to see the vast ocean and the azure sky.

Shen Shi found Sun You, who was leaning against the pillar and looking at the sky in boredom. He smiled and said, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

Sun You glared at him and said, “You’ve known for a long time that you can’t get in or out, but you’re fascinated by Zhong Qingzhu’s beauty. Let me tell you, that woman is not easy to provoke. Don’t cause trouble.”

Shen Shi sneered and pushed the open-mouthed fellow. He smiled and said, “What nonsense? Where is this going?”

Young friend Sun muttered twice and followed Shen Shi towards the direction of the hall. He kept on talking. It seemed that he had quite a lot of opinions about Zhong Qingzhu these days. It was unknown how many eyes Zhong Qingzhu had given him that made Young friend Sun so angry.

The two of them walked for a while. Shen Shi suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in front of him. It was Ruan Maocai, who he had seen in the Spirit Medicine Hall not long ago. He hurriedly walked to the front and quickly disappeared into the distance from Guanhai platform. It was unknown where he had gone.

Just as Shen Shi was looking at that person’s back, he suddenly heard Sun You suddenly say,

“Hey, Shitou, do you know about the Hou Clan?”
