Killing God - Chapter 315
Chapter 315 Peep
Shen Shi agreed, but when he turned around to face the five talisman papers on the table, he still hesitated for a moment, as if he was somewhat hesitant. “I know that it’s very difficult to refill the spirit, so I don’t have any requirements for you. Just do it. There’s no harm in getting as many as you can.” Old Man Pu smiled faintly and said, “I know it’s very difficult to refill the spirit. So, I don’t have any requirements for you. Just do it.”
Shen Shi smiled and took a deep breath before standing at the desk and picking up the first talisman paper.
Old Man Pu walked to the side, pulled a chair and sat down. He casually took a sip of the wine gourd and looked at Shen Shi. He held a talisman in his left hand and held it in his right. A ball of fire slowly ignited in his palm and formed a fireball. It was the First Grade Five Elements Fireball Technique. After the fireball spell took shape, Chen Shi congealed and slowly pressed down on the talisman paper in his left hand in order to refill his spirit.
Old Man Pu looked at his newly recruited disciple, who was extremely skilled. His eyes were filled with satisfaction. Since ancient times, master teachers and apprentices were rare items, and master teachers were hard to find. However, if a wise master wanted to find a disciple that matched his entire life’s worth of learning and had outstanding talent, he would also be able to meet them. In this world where the Five Elements Technique had been practiced for a few years, it could be said that Shen Shi’s performance in the past two days had already satisfied Old Man Pu. As for his performance in the Talisman Dao, it was purely an unexpected joy. It was enough to add flowers to the brocade. Even if the Spiritual Irrigation Technique was not performing well, Old Man Pu had secretly made up his mind that perhaps he could pass on the mantle.
A flash of fire suddenly flashed in front of him. Suddenly, a bright light flashed on the yellow talisman paper. The talisman instantly lit up. It was like a long whale absorbing water, absorbing the burning fireball into it. After a while, the light on the talisman paper flickered several times. Only then did it slowly calm down. The color of the talisman paper remained unchanged, but the talisman formations were extremely conspicuous.
“Huh?” Old Man Pu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Good luck, the first talisman will be done.”
Shen Shi raised his head and looked at him. Old Man Pu smiled and said, “Continue, continue, finish these talismans.”
Shen Shi replied, then picked up the second talisman paper.
Old Man Pu took another sip of wine and leaned against the back of his chair to watch. His thoughts spun in his heart, but he was filled with joy. He felt that this kid was getting more and more pleasing to the eye for some reason. However, he still had to be reserved. As a master, he always had to have the appearance of a master. No matter how easy-going he was normally, he still had to have the dignity when teaching and explaining the Dao. Later on, I’ll just say a few words about him and give him some pointers on how to make talismans that are too impatient. Then, I’ll give him some good advice and finally show him some methods to pass on some spells. Isn’t this brat going to pay his respects just like that?
He thought this in his heart. After a while, he suddenly let out a sigh and looked at the desk. He saw Shen Shi gently putting down the second water archery talisman. Old Man Pu let out a “uh” sound, his eyes filled with surprise. He smiled and said, “Good boy, this skill is not bad, and your luck is also good. It’s actually two in a row.”
Shen Shi smiled and reached for the third talisman.
This time, Old Man Pu carefully looked at it. However, after such a short period of time, his white eyebrows suddenly raised. The smile on his face had slowly faded away, because the third talisman had also become a talisman.
When Shen Shi gently placed the fourth talisman on the desk, the astonishment on Old Man Pu’s face could no longer be concealed. He stood up from his chair and stared at Shen Shi’s movements. He even couldn’t help but take two steps forward.
When Shen Shi picked up the fifth talisman paper, he did not look sideways. However, the corner of his eyes revealed the appearance of Old Man Pu standing not far from the desk. His heart suddenly moved, and his hand holding the talisman paper paused slightly.
④
The fifth talisman paper lay quietly in Shen Shi’s palm. He quietly stared at it for a moment, and then calmly began to refill his spirit. Old Man Pu didn’t know why, but he looked at the nervous expression on his face. He stared at Shen Shi’s movements and the talisman paper with his brows furrowed, as if he was surprised and faintly looking forward to it.
However, halfway through the Spirit Irrigation, Because the spell he created was the Earth Settling spell, Therefore, it emitted a yellow spiritual energy radiance, When the talisman markings on the talisman paper lit up and wanted to absorb it, a burst of light suddenly swayed, as if they were unable to do anything. In the blink of an eye, Shen Shi and Old Man Pu’s expressions changed at the same time. They heard a deep muffled sound. The yellow talisman paper instantly burned without any wind and turned into a pile of ashes.
But he failed.
“Ah!” Shen Shi took a step back. Old Man Pu’s body also trembled slightly. His face seemed to be filled with disappointment, but it was replaced by an even greater joy. However, in general, perhaps it was this last defeat that made him not lose his composure. He laughed loudly and said,
“That’s right, that’s right. I didn’t expect you to be able to reach five to four. No wonder Lady Xu always said that you have talent in Talisman Dao. Today, I saw you, and you really have extraordinary talent.”
Even with Shen Shi’s incomparably proficient experience in making five talismans, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and his face was rarely pale. Hearing this, he forced a smile at Old Man Pu and said, “Let Master laugh.”
Old Man Pu laughed and waved his hand, “What a joke, you can’t do better. Very good, very good.” At this point, he paused and asked Shen Shi with some curiosity, “This Talisman Dao is the most grinding and difficult and profound. You should have some talent, but looking at your age, how can you practice it to this extent?”
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before continuing to practice drawing talismans under his father’s orders since he was five years old. He told Old Man Pu everything that had happened for more than ten years, and Old Man Pu immediately understood. He nodded and sighed, “So that’s it. So that’s it. So you’ve been training for more than ten years. No wonder.” As he spoke, his gaze towards Shen Shi became even more appreciative. He said, “With this kind of persistence and talent, there is nothing in the path of cultivation that cannot be overcome. In the future, you must stick to your original heart and not slack off.”
Shen Shi left the desk and stood to the side. He bowed deeply and said seriously, “This disciple will definitely remember what Master taught me today.”
Old man Pu clearly looked in a good mood. He laughed loudly, walked over and pulled Shen Shi out. At the same time, he smiled and said, “Let’s go. Master took you to see a few of the secret arts passed down by our Hall of Arts. I carefully thought of them for you last night.” As he spoke, he even blinked at Shen Shi with a hint of cunning and said with a low laugh,
“It doesn’t cost money.”

Two hours later, Shen Shi walked out of the Five Elements Hall with a joyful expression on his face. Old Man Pu stood at the entrance of the hall with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
Shen Shi turned around and bowed respectfully, “Master, please wait a moment. Your disciple can’t afford to send you far away.”
Old Man Pu chuckled. Not reluctantly, Standing at the door, he smiled and said, “Your Dao Cultivation Realm is indeed somewhat limited here, but the combination of techniques you have chosen to cultivate is not bad. I have added two more techniques for you. One is to increase your attack against a strong enemy, and the other is to be unable to escape. For the time being, it is more appropriate for you to cultivate in your realm.” “When your cultivation level rises again in the future, you will naturally have more powerful techniques to cultivate.”
Shen Shi had a respectful expression on his face as he said, “Yes, disciple understands.”
Old Man Pu smiled and said, “You told me before that you would often go out to temper your opponents and fight with demonic beasts, but not cultivate quietly in the sect’s cave mansion. You were worried that your cultivation would be delayed.” “I don’t think you need to worry about this. I’ve always thought that the so-called retreat is only useful when you carefully comprehend the divine passageway technique. After comprehending it, you need to temper yourself even more. What good thing can you cultivate by staying on the mountain all day?” He smiled and waved his hand, “After comprehending these two spells, just go down the mountain and temper yourself. Kill more demonic beasts. At the same time, get some spirit materials and herbs. You can also exchange for some spirit crystals, right? Oh, that’s right …”
Old Man Pu suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He smiled and said, “Now that I am the Great Elder, it is not convenient for me to go down the mountain. If you have more money on you, bring me some wine every time you go down the mountain, wouldn’t that be good?”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Since Master has spoken, how can this disciple be disrespectful? Master, don’t worry. When I go down the mountain, this disciple will definitely remember to buy some good wine for Master.”
Old Man Pu immediately smiled and said, “Good, good, good. Sure enough, you are still filial. That stinking girl Xu Yanzhi always knows how to push things back. She tries her best not to buy me wine.”
Shen Shi laughed. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Old Man Pu tentatively, “Master, disciple has something to do. Perhaps I need to go down the mountain once in a few days, so I can buy some wine for Master. I wonder if Master will allow me to do so.”
Old Man Pu smiled and said, “Go, go. I’m not that old man Sun Ming Yang’s brain is stiff. You’re so big, how much can I care about you? The most important thing to cultivate is still yourself. Oh, it’s fine. Just go. Don’t forget to cultivate.”
Shen Shi bowed deeply and said, “Yes, this disciple will never forget.”
After saying that, he turned around and descended the stone steps outside the Five Elements Hall. He walked into the distance, Walking, After a distance from the Five Elements Hall, For some reason, the joy on his face gradually calmed down, but there was a strange expression on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he gently reached into the Ruyi bag at his waist. After a moment of searching, a black crystal with a pure black color and a strange light appeared in the center of his palm.
It was the mysterious black crystal that had fallen into silence with the fragment of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword under Soul Suppressing Abyss that day. After so many days of silence, Shen Shi felt a burst of scorching pain in his palm. Ever since he was at the entrance of the Five Elements Hall in the morning, he suddenly felt that this black crystal seemed to have suddenly woken up and started to heat up strangely.
When Shen Shi’s fingers touched the surface of the black crystal, he was suddenly stunned. He clearly remembered that at the Soul Suppressing Abyss that day, this black crystal had been pierced through by the remnant sword of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword, leaving behind a visible scar. However, at this moment, he could no longer feel this scar. The surface of the black crystal was incomparably smooth, and that trace had actually disappeared. It was unknown when it started, but it was as if it had healed itself.
Shen Shi secretly grabbed the small black crystal in his hand. His expression remained calm, but waves of fluctuations rose and fell in his heart. This black crystal suddenly awakened itself, showing signs of strangeness everywhere. Why didn’t it wake up elsewhere, but something strange happened in the Five Elements Hall?
Moreover, when he came over, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual about him, did there?
He stood there in a daze for a moment, then slowly turned his head back with a thoughtful expression as he looked at the tall Five Elements Palace from afar.
④
At the entrance of the Five Elements Hall, when he saw Shen Shi leave, the smile on Old Man Pu’s face remained undiminished. He carried his hands behind his back and smiled like an ordinary old man when he saw his descendants grow up and become talented.
Right at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared not far behind him. A dark corner of the hall walked out. Then, it did not see how the movement changed. In the blink of an eye, it appeared not far behind Old Man Pu, but it was still standing behind the door.
“How is it?” The figure said indifferently.
Old Man Pu took a deep breath without the slightest bit of surprise on his face. He turned around and smiled, saying,
“My talent, heart, character, and willpower are all good. I am very satisfied.”
The person in the shadows laughed. His laughter was gentle, and then he slowly walked out from behind the door. He stood side by side with Old Man Pu at the entrance of the Five Elements Hall. He was tall and dressed in a Taoist robe. Stars could be seen in his eyes. He was immortal and immortal. He was none other than Cen Huaiyuan, the current Sect Master of the High Firmament Sect.
