Killing God - Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Look Back
“Blood Moon Realm?” Gu Lingyun frowned and pondered for a moment, but he didn’t remember anything for a moment. The Primordial Chaos World had many worlds and lands, Apart from the vast Primordial Chaos Realms, There were many other worlds that were connected to each other through mysterious ancient teleportation formations. Some of the worlds that were suitable for humans to live in and near the Primordial Chaos Master Realm were familiar, but those borderline worlds that were extremely remote and rarely visited by humans were almost impossible to appear in people’s line of sight all year round. It was truly not easy for people to remember them all.

However, Master Wu seemed to have some understanding of the Blood Moon Realm. He calmly explained to Gu Lingyun, “The Blood Moon Realm is a five-level realm. It is one of the most remote realms. Moreover, the environment in this realm is extremely harsh and dangerous. Most of the cultivators who went on expeditions in the past died, so they are not famous.”

“Oh!” Gu Lingyun glanced at Master Wu and smiled. “I didn’t expect that Mr. Wu would be well-versed in memorizing things. I admire him.”

Master Wu waved his hand and smiled, “The shopkeeper praised me too much. Actually, it doesn’t matter. However, because of the special environment in the Blood Moon Realm, I produced a few special spirit materials that are unique to this realm. That’s why I have some understanding of this realm.” After a pause, Master Wu said, “The Illusory Rainbow Flower we were talking about just now is a type of spiritual herb unique to the Blood Moon Realm.”

Gu Lingyun nodded and thought for a moment before saying, “If I remember correctly, the production of this Illusory Rainbow Flower should have been very rare in the past, right?”

Master Wu nodded and said, “Indeed.” The Illusory Rainbow Flower was a fourth-grade spirit herb. It was quite useful and could be used in six pill formulas. However, this kind of spirit herb was born with the miraculous effects of changing colors. It was naturally compatible with certain magic formations within a formation. It could be said to be a divine item, so there was always a shortage of it. However, this kind of spirit herb only grew in the dark and humid corner of the Blood Moon Realm’s Waterghost Swamp. Its quantity was rare and extremely difficult to find. However, there was a type of water ghost in the swamp that was neither human nor beast. It was a very strange foreign object. Its entire body was covered in rotten earth-like things, and plants such as water plants and withered vines often grew on it. The Illusory Rainbow Flower naturally loved that strange layer of rotten soil the most. Therefore, one or two Illusory Rainbow Flowers could often be found on these water ghosts. However, the water ghosts were extremely ferocious and naturally adapted to the swamp. Even if they could not defeat them, as long as they dived into the water, they would become one with the swamp. It was extremely secret and difficult to find them. Over the years, the production of this Illusory Rainbow Flower has indeed been very low, and its price has been very high. ”

Gu Lingyun glanced at the file in his hand that recorded the various rare spirit materials that the main hall had plucked. He smiled and said, “The number of other spirit materials hasn’t changed. Only the number of Illusory Rainbow Flowers has suddenly doubled. Mr. Wu, what do you think?”

Master Wu pondered for a moment and then said, “Based on my guess, perhaps the cultivators who gathered the Illusory Rainbow Flowers in the Blood Moon Realm last month had some unexpected harvest, and the number of them has increased dramatically. After all, the main hall is not the only branch that has allocated funds. Even if it is only the highest-grade branch, the total number is quite large.” “Picking herbs? Apart from seeing and experiencing, luck is also very important.”

As he spoke, Master Wu stroked his beard and smiled. A look of nostalgia appeared on his face. He didn’t know if he remembered something from his youth. After a while, he said, “Anyway, let’s take a look this month. If the number of Illusory Rainbow Flowers returns to normal next month, it won’t matter.” “On the other hand, if the number of Illusory Rainbow Flowers is the same as this one in the next month or even a few months …”

At this point, he seemed to be slightly absent-minded. His voice was a little low, but Gu Lingyun asked, “Oh, so what?”

Master Wu’s face revealed a thoughtful expression as he said, “If that’s the case, then there’s something unusual going on in the Blood Moon Realm. Did anyone discover some sort of path or method unknown to our predecessors? They actually managed to gather a large amount of Tier 4 spiritual herbs.” “And judging from the amount of spiritual herbs that the main hall has allocated, if there really is such a thing, I’m afraid that person is most likely one of the people from our Divine Immortal Association.”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Lingyun. His gaze flickered with a hint of deep meaning.

Gu Lingyun slowly nodded. A look of understanding appeared on his face as he said indifferently, “I understand. If someone really can do this, it goes without saying that they will naturally receive the attention of the main hall. If there is any luck, and those old deities in the hall fall for them, they will probably soar to the sky.”

Master Wu smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else. He sat and chatted for a while before taking his leave. Gu Lingyun was the only one left in the large study room. The beautiful woman sat in the spacious chair, thoughtful. After a long while, she suddenly whispered,

“The Blood Moon Realm … the remote alien realm, there are few people here, so it shouldn’t be such a coincidence …”

Shen Shi descended from Jinhong Mountain. After crossing the sea, he quickly arrived at Flowing Cloud City. The bustling and noisy city appeared in front of him once again. The unique intimacy quickly surrounded him, causing Shen Shi’s slightly irritated mood to quickly calm down. For a moment, Shen Shi even had the impulse to buy a small courtyard house in this big city.

A small house that no one knew about would come alone when they were upset. Staying in a quiet corner of the noisy city might be a different feeling, but there was also a strange sense of tranquillity.

However, although this thought was intense and impulsive, it still flashed by in the end. Shen Shi only smiled and forgot about this seemingly unrealistic thought.

Although he barely had a few spirit crystals in his possession, it was not the same method to lose a family. Moreover, the path of cultivation had always been difficult and tortuous. Looking at the huge number of four thousand spirit crystals today, he might be able to empty out one spirit material and one spirit herb tomorrow.

After walking around Floating Cloud City for a while, Shen Shi quickly went to the Divine Immortal Gathering. Perhaps even he didn’t realize that ever since he had the White Divine Pearl in his Ruyi bag, he had instinctively reacted to buying and selling spirit materials to the Divine Immortal Gathering.

When he arrived at the branch of the Divine Immortal Association, he naturally did not come to see the spirit materials. He walked to the side and asked the clerk to inform the shopkeeper of Gu. Not long after, Gu Lingyun sent someone to bring him back to the spacious study room on the fourth floor.

After a calm and strange conversation, Gu Lingyun directly asked Shen Shi if he had found any clues about Huang Ming in the ancient books and scrolls at Shuhai’s place. Shen Shi honestly replied,

“There’s no such person, or perhaps I haven’t seen this name in the ancient books and scrolls I’ve read in the past few days.”

Gu Lingyun frowned. After pondering for a moment, he asked, “There are many ancient books and scrolls from the Heavenly Yao Royal Court in the book sea?”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and said, “There are as many as a cow’s hair, at least more than 300,000 copies. Moreover, due to the shortage of manpower, most of them are carefully guarding the secret manuals of this sect. They seldom carefully classify these ancient books and scrolls, and they are all randomly piled on rows of bookshelves.”

Gu Lingyun imagined the scene in his mind. His expression also changed slightly, and he didn’t look very good. He said, “How many books have you read in the past few days? How long can you finish reading them in the future?”

Shen Shi coughed and said, “I usually have to cultivate and have daily homework to do, so I can only flip through books for two hours a day and roughly read a hundred books. However, if you ask me when I can finish reading, I can only say that I don’t have enough time in my life …”

Gu Lingyun raised his eyebrows and glared at Shen Shi. However, Shen Shi revealed a helpless expression as he spread out his hands and said, “I’ll tell the truth.”

Gu Lingyun shook her head and rubbed her eyebrows with two fingers. After a moment of silence, she sighed softly, “Forget it. Anyway, do your best to listen to the will of the heavens. If you have time and heart, help me look for more. If there is any news for me, I will definitely thank you very much.”

Shen Shi said, “Thank you, Shopkeeper Gu, for showing your love. However, I just hope to meet my father again in two years. As for the matter of looking for books, I will definitely not slack off. Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Gu.”

Gu Lingyun nodded and then said to him, “There are only two days left before the private auction. Since you are here, don’t leave Liuyun City. You should just wait here for two days. When the time comes, I will naturally send someone to tell you.”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Gu Lingyun to be so easy to talk to. In his heart, he wondered if the first impression he had of Aunt Gu when he was young was too deep. That was why he felt that this woman was as cold as ice and difficult to get along with. But now, it seemed that Gu Lingyun wasn’t too difficult to get along with.

Gu Lingyun made up his mind and quickly sat down without saying anything. Then, he revealed his generous side and directly booked a secluded courtyard for Shen Shi outside a few streets near the branch of the Divine Immortal Society. He let him go over and have a good rest. He casually strolled these few days and waited for the auction in two days’ time.

When Shen Shi left, it had to be said that his impression of this woman who was in charge of the branch of the Floating Cloud City Divine Immortal Association had begun to slowly improve.

④

December 21, clear.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, it was the day that Gu Lingyun and Shen Shi had agreed to start the auction. As expected, Gu Lingyun did not break his promise. He had already sent someone over to inform Shen Shi. As for what Shen Shi needed to do, It was at the beginning of the day that, Leisurely leading the Little Hei pig to the Southern Treasure Square, Entering a heavily guarded mansion under the name of the Divine Immortal Gathering, the auction was held there. Only guests above the White Divine Pearl level were allowed to enter and participate. As for other cultivators, no matter if they were rich or not, no matter if they were rogue cultivators or disciples of famous families, none of them knew of such a thing.

When Shen Shi walked to the house a hundred feet away from the branch of the Divine Immortal Association, he almost thought that he had found the wrong place. There were only two guards standing at the entrance. Although the two of them looked extremely energetic, they did not seem to be as solemn and vast as he had imagined.

However, after examining the white divine pearl and successfully letting him in, Shen Shi walked to the courtyard behind the gate. He discovered that there was a different world beneath the secluded exterior of this place. Many guests had already arrived in the bustling crowd, and under the walls around the edges and corners, there was a silent guard every once in a while. Obviously, the guards here were much stronger than they were outside.

Shen Shi sighed in his heart. He was once again secretly shocked by the strength of the Divine Immortal Society. This was just a branch store in Liuyun City. It looked like it had some strength that couldn’t be underestimated. If one thought about the countless branches of the World Immortal Society, there would be even more mysterious but incomparably powerful main halls in the branches. The strength hidden in the shadows was truly shocking.

However, no matter how powerful the Divine Immortal Society was, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with Shen Shi at the moment. He only sighed and walked forward. Before the auction began, there would be a treasure display. Some of the good items that the Divine Immortal Society was about to offer for sale would be publicly displayed to these distinguished guests, who were mostly of extraordinary wealth.

Only a few steps forward, the corner of Shen Shi’s eyes occasionally flashed past the crowd around him. Suddenly, his body paused and a familiar figure walked past the hand-cutting corridor a few feet away from him.

She smiled brightly and charmingly. Her entire body seemed to emit a soul-stirring seductive beauty. At this moment, she stretched out her hand and lightly placed it on the arm of a man who was completely different from her appearance, who was not worthy of being black, skinny, short, and ugly, and walked with her.

The contrast between beauty and ugliness was so sharp that it was simply incompatible with fire and water. However, she did not seem to feel anything. There was nothing strange in her eyes, but she was smiling infinitely charmingly. She also looked back inadvertently and saw the man standing not far away in the courtyard outside the railing.

She seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment. She was absent-minded for a moment. Then, she smiled faintly and walked over gently like a beautiful flower.

However, it was the Ling Chunni that he hadn’t seen for many days.
