Killing God - Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Reason
Shen Shi’s memory was not bad. He immediately recognized that the old man with white hair and a goatee in front of him was the old man he had seen at the bottom of the sea of books the day before. However, when he met him that day, he casually chatted with him. After that, they separated. He didn’t expect to see him again today in the Five Elements Hall of the Hall of Arts.

Shen Shi was slightly surprised. He turned around and saw that the surroundings were empty. The entire Five Elements Hall was empty. Even Senior Sister Xu did not know where she had gone. He shook his head and walked in front of the old man. He smiled and said, “Senior, why are you here? Uh …” He suddenly paused as if he remembered something and said, “Ah, could it be that you are also from the Academy?”

Old Man Pu smiled and said, “Yes, I have been in this hall for many years.” As he spoke, he patted the empty space beside him and said, “Come, sit down and talk. Don’t stand there all the time, so that I don’t have to keep looking up at you to speak.”

“Oh, oh.” Shen Shi came to his senses and hurriedly agreed. He sat down beside Old Man Pu, stretched his waist, and let out a long breath.

Old Man Pu raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine. He looked at him and smiled, “What, are you tired?”

Shen Shi laughed and said, “I comprehended a technique in that quiet room in front of me. I didn’t move much. I didn’t know how long I stayed here, but my body felt a little stiff.”

Old Man Pu chuckled and said, “It’s only been a day and a night. Come, do you want a drink to relieve your fatigue?”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded, “Alright, thank you, senior.” As he spoke, he took the wine gourd that Old Man Pu had handed over and took a sip. He only felt that the wine was rich, mellow, and sweet, and had a unique flavor. However, for some reason, he felt somewhat familiar with it.

The expression on his face suddenly became somewhat dim and silent. Old Man Pu raised his eyebrows and said, “What, but the taste of this wine is not to your taste?”

Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Senior, you misunderstood. This flower sculpture wine from an adult wine is a high-grade wine. How can it be bad?”

“Oh!” Old Man Pu took back the wine gourd. He looked at him more and smiled, “I didn’t expect you to recognize the origin of this wine. Since this flower sculpture wine isn’t bad, why do you seem to be depressed after drinking it?”

Shen Shi was silent. His previous gloomy mood was naturally reminded of the Old Bai Monkey and the Stone Pig who had died in the Origin Realm from this flower sculpture wine. During his three-year trip to the Demon Realm, apart from Little Hei, only these two people were his only friends. The life and death parting of that day, all sorts of scenes still seemed to be in front of him when he recalled them to this day.

After hanging his head for a moment, Shen Shi sighed in his heart. He shook his head and regained his spirits. He smiled bitterly at Old Man Pu and said, “I’m sorry, but from this flower carving wine, I thought of two of my … relatives who have passed away. Therefore, I was a little sad for a moment. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to Senior. Please forgive me, Senior.”

Old Man Pu nodded and didn’t continue to say anything. Instead, he drank another mouthful of wine. Then, he said indifferently, “Have you cultivated the Water Rejection Technique?”

Shen Shi subconsciously nodded. Then, he frowned and looked at the white-bearded old man beside him. He was stunned and said, “Senior, how did you know that I comprehended the Water Rejection Technique?”

Old Man Pu smiled faintly. Before he could speak, a figure walked in from the entrance of the Five Elements Hall. He had a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance. It was Xu Yanzhi. She had only taken two steps when she saw an old man and a young man sitting on the pillar. They widened their eyes and hurriedly walked over, saying,

“Master, why are you still here?” As she spoke, she turned to look at Shen Shi with a look of surprise on her face. “Junior Brother Shen, it’s only been a day and a night. Why did you come out? I know that it’s difficult to cultivate magic techniques. It’s a bit too much for you to comprehend them in just two days. However, this is still a rare opportunity. You mustn’t give up at will.”

Shen Shi was stunned by Xu Yanzhi’s words. An awkward expression appeared on his face. He stood up and didn’t know what to say for a moment. However, his heart suddenly stirred. He turned to look at the white-bearded old man and said in shock, “What, Senior, you are Senior Xu’s master?”

Old Man Pu chuckled and patted his butt as he stood up. Xu Yanzhi beside him said, “Why, haven’t you heard of him after sitting with him for so long? Of course, he is my master, and he is also the current head elder of the Arts Hall. A few days ago, he even joined the Five Great Elders of our High Firmament Sect, Elder Pu Siyipu.”

Old Man Pu glared at her and slapped the back of Xu Yanzhi’s head. He laughed and scolded, “Master is Master. What do you mean by this bunch of nagging titles? Are you flattering me or boasting about yourself?”

Xu Yanzhi staggered, her cheeks slightly red. She looked a little angry and said, “Hey, don’t hit me on the head.”

Old Man Pu chuckled. Ignore her, He turned to look at Shen Shi, At this moment, Shen Shi was filled with respect. No matter how desolate the hall looked, it was still one of the entrances to the seven great halls of the Soaring Firmament Sect. The elder in charge of the hall was at least a Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm. Not to mention what Xu Yanzhi had just said, this senior had recently become one of the top five elders of the Soaring Firmament Sect.

Such a person, Even across the entire Primordial Chaos Cultivation World, He was also a peak Great Cultivator, a great Daoist. He was an existence that could cause a small figure like Shen Shi to look up to him. For a moment, Shen Shi felt a faint fear and respect in his heart. He took a step back and bowed respectfully. “Senior, oh no, it’s Elder Pu, disciple Shen Shi. Please forgive me for my ignorance of Mount Tai.”

Old Man Pu waved his hand and said, “Forget the red tape. I don’t like it. I was interrupted by this girl just now. I was just about to ask you, since you came out of the quiet room, have you comprehended and cultivated the Water Rejection Technique?”

Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he remembered that Elder Pu had asked Senior Sister Xu to give him this strange water repelling technique. Could it be that there was something inside? Before he could figure out how to answer, Xu Yanzhi, who was standing at the side, cried out in shock. He looked at Shen Shi with a look of disbelief on his face and said, “What? Did you only use one day and one night to comprehend that spell?”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

Xu Yanzhi widened her beautiful eyes and looked incredulous. However, Old Man Pu’s expression was much calmer. He glanced at his female disciple and said indifferently, “What’s so strange about this? When I cultivated this technique back then, I only used half a day, oh … I learned it in about nine hours.”

Xu Yanzhi said “Ah” and covered her mouth with her hand. She was speechless for a long time, and Shen Shi’s body also trembled. When he looked at Elder Pu again, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect. His family understood his own affairs. He was much stronger than ordinary people in the Five Elements Technique. Apart from his usual interest in the technique, the two mysterious Yin Yang Curses were the key.

But things like the Yin Yang Curse were obviously private things, It was almost impossible for Elder Pu to possess these curses. In other words, if Elder Pu hadn’t said that he wasn’t lying just now, then the current Elder in charge of the Arts Hall’s talent in the Five Elements Art Technique was truly a peerless figure. He could only be described with the words stunning talent, stunning beauty, or even genius.

However, Shen Shi didn’t think that Elder Pu had a reason to lie and boast to such a small person.

Old Man Pu turned around and sized Shen Shi up and down. Then, he said, “Since you have cultivated, you can cast a spell here for me to see.”

Shen Shi was shocked, but after looking up at Old Man Pu, he saw that his expression was calm and his eyes were shining brightly as he looked at himself. Shen Shi’s mind spun, then he nodded and said, “Yes.”

Then, he took two steps back, his eyes slightly closed, and his heart calmed down. The spell of the water repelling technique appeared in his mind, and a Spiritual Energy slowly rose from his dantian below his abdomen.

Within the Five Elements Hall, there was neither sound nor wind. However, for some reason, Shen Shi’s sleeve suddenly swung slightly.

Old Man Pu raised his eyebrows, and then slowly nodded his head. “Oh!” He gave a praise, but Xu Yanzhi, who was standing beside him, looked at it for a long time without seeing anything. “Master, what are you doing? He clearly didn’t do anything?”

Old Man Pu snorted and said, “You’re still unconvinced when you say you’re stupid. That technique is different from the others. It uses spiritual energy to form an invisible barrier around your body. It’s silent and colorless. Your eyesight and cultivation are too poor, so naturally you won’t be able to tell.”

Xu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment and suddenly said angrily, “Damn it, since Master has such a spell, why didn’t you teach me?”

Old Man Pu looked at her expressionlessly and said, “Do you really want to know?”

Xu Yanzhi exchanged glances with him for a moment. Suddenly, a guilty expression appeared on his face. He laughed dryly and said, “Forget it, Master, don’t say anything else.”

Old Man Pu snorted angrily and waved to Shen Shi, saying, “Alright, come over.”

Shen Shi gently spat out his breath and slowly dispersed his Spiritual Energy. This water repellent technique was strange. Adding on the fact that he had just comprehended it, it was indeed somewhat awkward for him to execute it. It was far from being able to handle it properly.

Old Man Pu also seemed to be very patient. He stood and waited until Shen Shi finished collecting the technique and walked over. Then, he said indifferently, “This technique is slightly different from the ordinary Five Elements Technique, but in terms of difficulty, it is roughly between a Second Grade and a Third Grade technique. Being able to comprehend and learn it in one day and one night, your talent is pretty good.”

Xu Yanzhi curled her lips and whispered, “Not only is it not bad …”

Old Man Pu glared at her. Xu Yanzhi stuck out his tongue and didn’t dare to say anything else. Shen Shi looked at her with a hint of gratitude. At this point, he naturally understood why Xu Yanzhi had been secretly taking care of him earlier. He still wanted this favor.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Xu Yanzhi looked at him and smiled.

Old Man Pu pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back. Then, he looked at Shen Shi and said, “Do you know why I want you to comprehend this technique?”

Shen Shi sensed Elder Pu’s gaze. For some reason, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and all sorts of causes and consequences flashed through his heart like lightning. An unbelievable thought rose from the bottom of his heart. The thought was so exciting that his body suddenly felt like it was trembling and pricking.

He lowered his head, desperately suppressing the seemingly suffocating excitement in his heart, barely maintaining his calm, but his slightly heavy breathing still revealed some clues in his heart. It was a kind of luck that he had never expected or expected. Even his voice sounded a little hoarse at this moment.

“Please … Elder Pu, please teach me.”
