Killing God - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Stone Chamber
Shen Shi was the first youth to step forward and pay for the spirit crystals. At this moment, Su He sat down at the table and took out a pen and paper to write down the words “Shen Shi, two spirit crystals” on the paper. He looked at him and smiled, “Don’t worry, the spirit crystals you have collected are only for the time being. Once you cultivate to the Origin Condensation Realm or five years later, you will naturally return the items you have today.”

Shen Shi was naturally not worried. After placing the two spirit crystals on the table, he was about to retreat when the Crystal Devouring Toad in the cage on the table suddenly cried out twice. Su He frowned slightly and said, “Junior Brother, the Crystal Devouring Toad seems to think that you still have spirit crystals on you. Why don’t you search it carefully?”

Shen Shi was stunned. This time, it was truly unexpected. After careful consideration, he realized that there were no other spirit crystals on him. He couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. He only saw that although the Crystal Swallowing Toad was lying motionless, its eyes were shining brightly, but it was clearly staring at him.

For a moment, everyone’s gazes fell on Shen Shi. Each of them had a complicated meaning. Shen Shi didn’t want to be treated as someone who had just joined the sect and cheated his senior brother and violated the sect rules. He was really anxious now. He hurriedly took out something from his bosom and said, “Senior Brother Su, I really don’t have any spirit crystals on me. I don’t believe you to take a look.”

As he took them out one by one, there weren’t many of them. They were only small personal items, including the small hourglass his father had given him back then. In the end, he suddenly stopped in his arms because the last item was the remnant Yin Yang Curse scroll of the Seven Leaves Golden Sunflower Medallion.

“Damn” This was the first thought that flashed through Shen Shi’s mind. Could it be that there was something strange about this item that had something to do with Demon race that the Crystal Swallowing Toad could sense? However, it was clearly just a scroll. How could it be similar to a spirit crystal?

If he took it out, Wasn’t it revealed on the spot in front of everyone’s eyes, If he were to spread the secret technique of Demon race in his hands, would Lingxiao Sect still be able to tolerate him … One had to know that the enmity between the human and demon races was as deep as the sea. Back then, the founder of Lingxiao Sect, Gan Jingcheng, was one of the six saints of the human race, and countless Demon race Adepts had been personally killed. How could the legacy sect have a good impression of the demon technique?

Thinking of this, Shen Shi felt a burst of regret in his heart, but how could he escape when the situation was so tough? Just as he was bravely taking out the black scroll, he took out half of it. Suddenly, Su He, who was sitting at the table, let out a “Yi” sound and said, “What is this thing?”

Shen Shi’s heart sank. Thinking that Senior Brother had indeed discovered his secret with keen eyes, he was about to plead for an explanation with a sad face when he suddenly saw Su He not looking at him who was pulling out the Yin Yang Curse scroll. Instead, his gaze landed on the table and he picked up one of the few small items. It was the small jade hourglass that his father had gifted to Shen Shi.

The fine sand glided silently in the hourglass, Su He looked at the hourglass and placed his hand next to the cage. The Crystal Swallowing Toad immediately let out another two “croaks”. Su He nodded and smiled, “It seems like this hourglass is not a spirit crystal. Although it doesn’t look like a spirit crystal, there may be some spiritual energy or impurities similar to spirit crystals mixed in the jade. The Crystal Swallowing Toad is the most sensitive to spirit crystals, so it has a reaction.” After saying that, he paused for a moment and looked at Shen Shi apologetically, saying, “So I misunderstood Junior Brother.”

At this moment, Shen Shi heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. There was no need for him to complain. He hurriedly said, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Su He smiled and gently put down the hourglass. Other than that, the Crystal Swallowing Toad did not react to anything else. This also made Shen Shi completely relieved. He stepped forward and put the things on the table back into his embrace. When his fingers touched the small jade hourglass, a faint trace of warmth came from his fingertips. He thought of his father inexplicably and felt his heart warm.

Afterwards, the remaining teenagers also came over to undergo the examination of the Crystal Swallowing Toad. Soon, they found out that the other two people were carrying some spirit crystals. One of the surprising things was that He Xiaomei took the initiative to hand over a bag. There were actually fifty spirit crystals inside. Su He was also speechless by this number. He couldn’t help but look at He Xiaomei a few more times and shook his head with a smile, “Junior Sister, your family must be a millionaire, right?”

He Xiaomei’s cheeks reddened and she looked like a beautiful flower. She smiled and said, “Where is it?”

Apart from her, another youth had handed over five spirit crystals, which was nothing. However, what surprised Shen Shi was that Lingxiao Sect and the Zhong sisters from the Sun You Clan did not even have a single spirit crystal with them. Given their family background, this spirit crystal should have been much more than He Xiaomei.

However, a moment later, Shen Shi remembered that these aristocratic families relied heavily on Lingxiao Sect. Now that this rookie disciple was forbidden to bring spirit crystals into the island, it was obvious that everyone had already known about the rules. That was why no one brought spirit crystals. From the looks of it, he looked a little like a country bumpkin.

After such a torment, After finishing all the work, Su He stretched lazily. It seemed that he was relieved. He stood up and said, “Alright, I have already told you all the basic rules and all sorts of matters. If there is anything you don’t understand, remember to carefully read the sketch of Ling Xiao in the iron box. There are some important and basic matters that are written on it.” “The most important thing for us cultivators is to cultivate in peace. Normally, I won’t disturb you. If you need to find me, you can go to Bird Bay’s B17 cave to find me. Or if it’s a big deal, you can go directly to Xuan Ri Hall in the center of the island to ask for Senior Brother Wang Gen’s help.”

After he finished speaking, he prepared to walk out. However, when he arrived at the door, he seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around to look at the ten youths and smiled. “It is also an opportunity for us to meet here. Let me tell you one more thing.” “If I were you, I would start to think about how I could earn more spirit crystals on the Bluefish Six Islands. After all, I can only cultivate with spirit crystals.”

With that, he waved his hand and left without saying anything else.

The remaining youths looked at each other, not understanding Su He’s words before he left. Spirit crystals were of course the most important items in cultivation. Everyone understood this, but if they wanted to think about how to earn more spirit crystals, what was the extra meaning of those words?

Sounds like a bad feeling!

After a while, the youths came back to their senses and left the cave. After all, this cave was now surnamed Sun, and it was Sun You’s exclusive cultivation cave. Furthermore, everyone wanted to see what their dwelling looked like and quickly dispersed.

Shen Shi also planned to find his own cave to occupy. But inspired by Sun You, He ended up next door, In other words, the Forty-one Caves, He used his Cloud Talisman to unlock the Eight Trigrams Lock. As for the others, Perhaps because he hated Sun You, Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu were far away from them. They ran to the end and took “A 48, A 49” two caves. He Xiaomei did not seem to miss her as a girl, but she lived in the middle of a circle of boys’ caves. Therefore, she was also close to Zhong Qinglu and occupied “A 47”. As for the remaining caves, the other youths divided them up.

When he entered his cave for the first time, Shen Shi was still a little excited. When the heavy stone door closed behind him, the originally clamorous atmosphere suddenly seemed to be separated from the door. When the stone room was completely quiet, his mood gradually calmed down.

The furnishings in the stone room were exactly as Su He had said. They were basically the same as what he saw in Young Friend Sun’s cave. Similarly, there was also an iron box on the table.

He looked here and there, occasionally going to the bedside to press down on the bedding, occasionally stroking the stone wall a few times, then going to the empty three-storey stone shelf to observe for a while, and then looking up at the ventilated and translucent skylight.

Was this the starting point for him to start cultivating and embark on the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation?

He stood in the middle of the stone room and took a deep breath. When there was no one else but him, his face finally revealed a trace of intoxication and joy. He slowly opened his arms as if he wanted to hug something.

“Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!”

Suddenly, a drum-like sound came from the door. It shocked the intoxicated Shen Shi. After standing there for a moment, he hurriedly opened the stone door with the Cloud Talisman. He saw Young Friend Sun standing at the door with a smile and said, “Shen Shi, there’s no point in staying in the house. Let’s go out and have a stroll on the island.”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. Su He did not specifically explain this aspect. Obviously, Lingxiao Sect had no intention of restricting the rookie disciples’ daily life. However, on the first day of his new arrival, Shen Shi pondered for a moment and said, “Sun You, I think it would be better to read the sketch of Ling Xiao first. I want to go out after reading it. Why don’t we go to the Morning Star Palace tomorrow and listen to Senior Brother Wang Gen’s Starnet cultivation technique. When the time comes, we can have a good look at the island’s scenery, okay?”

Young Friend Sun said, “Hmm.” After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, “Sure, then you can rest. I’ll go back and take a look at the sketch of Ling Xiao.” After saying that, he turned around and walked two steps. He suddenly turned around and smiled, “Shen Shi, in the future, we will all start cultivating together. It’s faster than seeing who of us cultivates!”

Shen Shi laughed heartily and nodded.

After Sun You left, Shen Shi closed the stone door again. The cave became quiet again. After looking at the stone room again, Shen Shi sat down at the table and opened the iron box.

Two sets of clothes, a spirit crystal, a paper spell, and a brief notebook. His gaze swept over these simple things. Shen Shi first picked up the Star Luo Art spell and read it from beginning to end. After pondering for a moment, he then held Ling Xiao’s spell in his hand and casually flipped through it.

The first part of this brief book was all about Lingxiao Sect’s sect rules, but there was nothing special about it. For example, the terms of not disobeying his master were all included. Following that, there was a brief introduction to Lingxiao Sect’s current situation. This was also to give the rookie disciples a basic understanding of the sect. Those descendants of aristocratic families like Sun You might have already known a lot, However, to Shen Shi, it was a very precious source of information. His eyes gradually lit up and he exclaimed endlessly. This was the first time he had truly understood from one side what this so-called “Four Righteous” great sect that was ranked among the top sects in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World was like.

“Beneath Sect Leader Cen Huaiyuan, there are also the Four Great Elders, Jin, Sun, Yun and Mu. The five of them form the Sect Elders’ Council, which is the highest deliberative body of the High Firmament Sect.”

“This sect can only accept disciples who have reached the Origin Condensation Realm as direct disciples to the Golden Rainbow Immortal Mountain. Elder disciples are not allowed to interfere in the cultivation of newbies in Qingyu Island unless they are appointed by the sect …”

“Heavens … there are actually twenty-two Great Daoists at the Light Origin Core Realm in the Ling Xiao Sect!” Seeing this, Shen Shi couldn’t help but widen his eyes. For a moment, his brain almost couldn’t turn around. Back in Xilu City, he had always felt that the Xuanyin Sect was already a powerful cultivation sect. However, Old Monster Li was the only Origin Core Realm cultivator in that sect. Compared to the current Lingxiao Sect, it was far too different.

“Moreover, of these 22 Origin Core Realm Grand Daoists, the five Elders of the Council of Elders below the Sect Leader Realm have all reached the peak of the Origin Core Realm. They are only one step away from breaking through the legendary Grand Death Pass of the Origin Core Realm and spying on the Heavenly Dipper Realm, which is only one step away from True Immortals.”

“Amazing” As the pages of the book flipped, exclamations echoed in the stone room. The youth’s heart was completely immersed in admiration for this glorious and powerful sect.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened. The first day he arrived on this island, he was about to quietly pass by.
