Killing God - Chapter 253
Chapter 253 Xin Yi
“Alright, that’s all for gossip!”
After a moment of silence, Xu Yanzhi suddenly smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere. He smiled at Shen Shi and said, “Since you have chosen these three Tier 2 spells, then 600 spirit crystals, please pay.”
“Oh …” Shen Shi hurriedly nodded. He stood up and picked up the spirit crystal from the Ruyi bag at his waist. At the same time, he felt helpless. He thought to himself that since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, he had not kept any spirit crystals on his body. Even if he had earned a lot by chance, there would be something that would make him quickly spend most of the spirit crystals.
This embarrassing life of having no money left was truly depressing.
Perhaps seeing Shen Shi take out the 600 spirit crystals with a somewhat frustrated expression, Xu Yanzhi chuckled and said, “What, can’t bear to part with them?”
Shen Shi laughed loudly and pushed the spirit crystal in front of her. He shook his head and smiled, “No, there’s an old saying. I can’t bear to part with the child. Compared to these three spells, I think these 600 spirit crystals are still worth it.”
Xu Yanzhi nodded slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, “The price of this spell was set by Elder Pu of this hall long ago. No one can increase or decrease it. Therefore, the spirit crystals must take so much from you. However, since Junior Sister Qingzhu has invited me, I can’t help but give her face.”
Shen Shi was stunned. He raised his head to look at Xu Yanzhi, but the beautiful woman beside him smiled. He took out a wooden box from his bosom and pushed it over, saying, “The price cannot be changed. However, there are some small gifts in addition to the spell. I’m sure that Elder Pu won’t say anything else.”
Shen Shi took the wooden box and felt that it wasn’t heavy. He then opened the lid of the box and saw a stack of green paper in the wooden box. There were also five small bottles standing side by side.
Xu Yanzhi’s voice sounded in his ears, “I heard that you have studied talismans as well as the Five Elements Technique. This box of thirty green talismans and five bottles of cinnabar. Even if I give you some compensation, you won’t think that our hall is a complete black shop.”
Shen Shi’s body trembled slightly, and his expression was solemn. He stood up and bowed to Xu Yanzhi, and said seriously, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”
Xu Yanzhi smiled without saying a word.
Of all the materials in the talisman, the most important one was naturally talisman paper. It was because to withstand the spiritual power of the magic technique that was added by spirit irrigation, the talisman paper itself was made from various precious spiritual herbs. Moreover, as the rank of the Five Elements Magic Technique increased, the talisman paper used was also different.
Previously, all the talismans Shen Shi had created were First Grade spells, so they were all the cheapest and lowest grade yellow talisman paper. However, the three spells he had purchased today were all Second Grade spells. If he wanted to create more talismans in the future, the yellow talisman paper would no longer be able to withstand the Spiritual Energy of Second Grade spells, and he would have to use a higher grade green talisman paper.
However, in order to withstand the infusion of more Spiritual Energy, The spirit herbs and spirit materials used were far superior to ordinary yellow talisman paper. The price naturally increased. Shen Shi understood this in his heart. Earlier, he had even felt a little annoyed about this. However, this box of green talisman paper was a great help to him. The weight of this gift was not light.

Sun You waited outside the Five Elements Hall for a long time. Just as he was feeling bored, he saw Shen Shi walk out of the hall and hurriedly greet him. “Have you bought everything?” He said.
Shen Shi nodded and said, “Yes, I bought a total of three Tier 2 spells.”
‘”Six hundred spirit crystals? Didn’t you bargain with her for a cheaper price?” Young Master Sun’s face twitched slightly.
Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and said, “There’s nothing I can do. This rule was set by Elder Pu, the founder of the Origin Core Realm, and no one can change it. Also, what kind of expression do you have? Your Sun Clan has a great career. As the Sun Clan’s direct descendant young master, can you still treat 600 spirit crystals in your eyes?”
Young Friend Sun spat and said, “If you dare to say one more’trivial ‘, I’ll be in a hurry with you. If 600 spirit crystals are placed in front of me, my saliva will almost flow out of my mouth, okay?” As he spoke, he snorted coldly and said, “My family does give me a set of Money Spirit Crystals every month, but it’s definitely not as much as you think.”
Shen Shi laughed and patted him on the shoulder. “Alright, alright, I’ll just say it casually. But if you really lack spirit crystals, why don’t you come on a trip with me next time?”
Sun You rolled his eyes. He seemed to be tempted. However, he hesitated for a moment and hesitated, “Let me think about it again. I originally thought that after cultivating the Cloud Piercing Arrow to at least the second level, I would consider going down the mountain to train.”
Shen Shi nodded and didn’t say anything else. After all, although there would be gains from traveling and exploring, there were often many unexpected risks. For example, he almost died in the mountain. After all, Sun You was a descendant of an aristocratic family, and he had the support of his family. Although the spirit crystals he obtained right now might not be comparable to his cousin Sun Heng’s, they were definitely enough for him to cultivate. There was indeed no need for him to venture down the mountain before the completion of his Dao Art Divine Ability.
The path of risking one’s life to earn spirit crystals was a difficult one for rogue cultivators and ordinary disciples of the Jing Clan.
The two walked side by side, chatting endlessly. It could be seen that Sun You was also quite interested in Shen Shi’s suggestion just now. Although this did not suit his status as a descendant of an aristocratic family, he still made Shen Shi remember to at least tell him the next time he went down the mountain. At that time, he would make a decision on whether to go down the mountain or not.
The two of them walked further and further away. At the quiet and deserted entrance of the Five Elements Hall, two figures suddenly walked out of the hall. They stood side by side at the entrance of the hall and watched the two young men’s figures from afar until they disappeared into the distance.
Both of them were women. On the left was Xu Yanzhi, who had just sold three Tier 2 spells to Shen Shi. On the right, the person was delicate and beautiful, but it was Zhong Qingzhu.
Xu Yanzhi watched Shen Shi and Sun You leave and withdrew his gaze. However, he saw Zhong Qingzhu beside him seemed to be a little distracted. He still looked into the distance and gently patted her arm. He smiled and said, “Hey, that person has already left.”
Zhong Qingzhu woke up from her shock. Her cheeks reddened for a moment, but then she regained her calm. She did not say anything. She only smiled at Xu Yanzhi. Her smile was gentle and beautiful, and even seemed to add some color to the deserted hall.
Xu Yanzhi sighed slightly and said, “I’ve done everything for you, but that box of azure talisman paper and cinnabar were clearly bought by you. Just give it to that person directly. Why bother to deliberately conceal it? Instead, let me be this good person?”
Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, “I’m afraid that if I gave it to him directly, he wouldn’t want it anymore.”
Xu Yanzhi snorted and shook his head, “You are a good person. Everything is fine, but your mind is too heavy.” After pausing for a moment, she said, “What are you thinking so much about? Since you like him, just go over and give the thing to that person. You should be straightforward. Clearly, at least let him know your intentions.”
“Senior Sister Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? Who likes who?” Zhong Qingzhu’s beautiful face revealed an embarrassed expression for the first time. “That Shen Shi saved my life when he was a teenager in Qingyu Island. I just wanted to repay my kindness and do my best to help him.”
Xu Yanzhi raised his hand, as if he was helpless and smiling, and said, “Good, good, good. Just say yes.”
However, looking at her expression, it was clearly written “no letter” on her face. Zhong Qingzhu was also helpless against this familiar senior sister. He glared at her, but he felt that his face was slightly hot. He did not dare to stay here for fear that he would lose his composure for no reason. He snorted casually and said, “Then I’ll leave first.”
As he spoke, he was about to walk down the stone steps and leave. However, he had only walked two steps when he suddenly heard Xu Yanzhi calling her from behind. Zhong Qingzhu turned around and said, “Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
Xu Yanzhi stood in front of the main hall with a calm expression and a faint smile on his face. “Qingzhu, big sister is someone who has been here before. Listen to me. Regardless of whether you like others or not, if you do have such intentions, it’s best to let him know. Otherwise, if there is any misfortune in the future, won’t you regret it again?”
Zhong Qingzhu remained silent for a moment, then smiled. She was as beautiful as a spring flower. She nodded and said,
“I see. Thank you, sister.”

Mountain ranges, deep mountains, old forests.
The silent mountains continued to rise and fall, and boundless green forests covered them. At a glance, apart from the white mist and water vapor that occasionally floated in the valley between the mountains, all the mountains and forests appeared to be so peaceful and serene. The massive tremor that had occurred in the depths of this mountain range earlier seemed to have completely passed. At least, it didn’t seem to have any effect on this forest anymore.
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the depths of the forest. From the sound, it was heard that it was a mountain peak in the forest.
As this long howl echoed through the valley forest, it lingered for a long time. The originally tranquil forest’s calm was instantly shattered. Under the dense shade of trees and trees, numerous sturdy black shadows suddenly flashed past, releasing deep breaths and roars. They rushed in the same direction from all directions.
Heavy footsteps trampled through countless thorns and weeds. Rocks rolled down, trees trembled, and black shadows gradually converged into a river. The momentum grew louder and louder, and the sound of footsteps grew louder and louder. The roars were like thunder, causing the entire mountain forest to tremble.
A dark river rushed forward without end.
The direction of the gallop was precisely where the howling sound came from, at the peak of the mountain forest.
Under the shade of the tree, in the sunlight, shattered rays of light crazily shook and landed on the demonic beasts that were running at full speed. The birds carefully poked their heads out from the tree and looked down. Soon, they saw a scene that shocked them.
All of these demonic beasts that were roaring wildly were actually wild boars. From the looks of it, their numbers were astonishingly large, at least no less than a thousand. At the forefront of all the herds of pigs was an exceptionally sturdy and gigantic grey earth pig.
It brought the wild boars and demonic beasts with it and ran towards the top of the mountain. Very quickly, a black figure appeared in the eyes of all the wild boars on top of the mountain peak.
It was a little black pig, with a spiritual herb in its mouth, chewing on it for a while. It stood at the top of the mountain and looked down at the mountains. Then, it slowly turned around and looked at the herd of wild boars.
All the pigs stopped and looked up.
A moment later, the grey earth pig was the first to lower its head respectfully. Behind it, roars rose and fell one after another, causing the mountain forest to tremble. Then, all the wild boars lowered their heads towards the black pig that stood high above them.
On the top of the mountain, on the top of the boulder, Little Hei’s pig’s mouth twitched. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the distant azure sky.
This day was Little Hei’s tenth day in the forest.
