Killing God - Chapter 321
Chapter 321 Centipede Mountain
Wang Gen looked at Sun You up and down with a smile on his face and said, “Indeed. Junior Brother Sun, you are a rare guest. Come in and talk.” As he said that, he turned around and nodded with a smile before walking in.
The two of them sat down in Wang Gen’s cave residence. There were many things in the cave residence. It seemed that Wang Gen had cultivated in the High Firmament Sect for many years, and his own strength was outstanding. Furthermore, he was valued by the seniors and teachers, so he naturally had some wealth. However, everything in the cave was well-organized, and Wang Gen’s temperament was clearly very self-disciplined.
Friend Sun glanced around the cave. When he turned around, he saw that Wang Gen had already taken out a tea set from somewhere and brewed a pot of tea. The fragrance was refreshing. Sun You was a knowledgeable descendant of an aristocratic family. After gently sniffing it twice, he immediately smiled and said, “This tea fragrance is very attractive. Could it not be the ‘Little Mituo’ tea from Hezhou in the southeast?”
Wang Gen laughed and poured a cup in front of him. He nodded and said, “Junior apprentice-brother’s good taste is the Little Mituo Tea.”
Sun You smiled and shook his head. He picked up the teacup and blew it. He took a sip and said, “This Little Mituo Tea is a high-grade tea. It has a delicate fragrance and is very valuable. Even I haven’t drunk it a few times in my own home. It seems that Senior Brother Wang is indeed very wealthy.”
Wang Gen smiled heartily and waved his hand, “It’s just that someone gave me a few taels. It’s not worth it. As long as Junior Brother likes it, it’s fine.” As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and smiled, “Junior Brother Sun You, why did you suddenly come looking for me today?”
You Sun smiled and nodded. “It’s not a big deal. First, I suddenly thought of Bluefish Island’s five years of cultivation a few days ago. Senior Brother Duomeng took care of me, so I wanted to come over to pay my respects. Second, I have some doubts about my cultivation. I also want to ask Senior Brother about you. Oh, finally, I have some small matters to ask you.”
With that, Sun You smiled and took out a small jade bottle from his bosom. He placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Wang Gen, saying, “This is my little brother’s little token of gratitude. I hope Senior Brother Wang will accept it with a smile.”
The smile on Wang Gen’s face did not change, but his gaze flickered slightly. Then, he smiled and said, “Junior Brother Sun, why is this necessary?”
Young Friend Sun smiled without saying a word and pointed at the green jade bottle.
Wang Gen casually picked it up and gently rubbed it. He opened the cork of the bottle and glanced inside. At the same time, a strange faint medicinal fragrance suddenly rose around them.
A moment later, Wang Gen was stunned. His expression changed slightly and he put the cork back on. At the same time, he slowly frowned. When he looked at Sun You, the smile on his face gradually faded away. Instead, he was a little surprised and said, “Mysterious Moon Pill?”
Young Friend Sun nodded and smiled, “It’s just a small token of respect.”
Wang Gen, on the other hand, fell silent. After a while, he gently pushed the green jade bottle back towards Sun You. Then, he calmly looked at Sun You and said, “Junior Brother Sun, your grandfather is my teacher. Considering that we are of the same bloodline, if you have any doubts about cultivation, I, as senior brother, do know everything. I will definitely tell you everything in detail.” As for this … ”
He glanced at the green jade bottle and sighed, “The Mysterious Moon Pill has always been known as the ‘Little Divine Pill’. It is also known as the number one grade three spirit pill. Its spiritual efficacy is exceptional, and it is extremely useful to cultivators below the Origin Core Realm. I dare not accept such a heavy gift.”
There was no surprise on Sun You’s face. ‘”Senior Brother, why don’t you listen to me? Actually, apart from asking senior brother to cultivate doubts, I can only inquire about a few things casually. I presume that I’m not too anxious about senior brother. I beg senior brother to help me out for the sake of our friendship for many years, okay?” Wang Gen seemed to have anticipated Wang Gen’s refusal and didn’t go to pick up the bottle of the Profound Moon Pill. He only smiled and said, “Senior Brother, why don’t you listen to me?”
Wang Gen pursed his lips and looked at Sun You calmly. After a while, he said, “A few nonchalant questions, is it worth a Mystic Moon Pill?”
Young Friend Sun shrugged his shoulders, his expression relaxed, and smiled, “It depends on everyone’s opinions.”
Wang Gen pondered for a moment and said, “Why don’t you tell me first?”
Sun You smiled. He stood up and walked to Wang Gen’s side. Then, he whispered a few words in his ear. Wang Gen sat upright, his eyes flashing, but his expression seemed to gradually become more serious.
After a while, Sun You straightened up and walked to the side. He bowed deeply and said, “Senior Brother Wang, please be generous with your advice.”
Wang Gen stood up and gave way, not accepting his bow. At the same time, he extended his hand to help him up and looked at Sun You. Sun You’s gaze was calm as he looked at him.
A moment later, Wang Gen suddenly smiled. He shook his head and said, “I do know a bit about the things you asked me. I often serve my master, but …” He looked at Sun You apologetically and said, “Junior Brother Sun, I’m sorry. Actually, I might have guessed what you want to ask about these things. However, this matter is quite involved and it’s a dispute between your Sun Clan’s own people. I’m just an outer disciple of the Master Teacher Seat, so it’s really hard for me to say anything.” “But you can be at ease. Since your words today do not enter my ears, I will only pretend that this has not happened.”
Young friend Sun took a deep breath and thought to himself, as expected from Shi Tou. Senior Brother Wang Gen knew about it but didn’t say anything. After all, outsiders could see it clearly. Next, let’s see if that fellow’s speculation could move one of the famous “Three Swords of the High Firmament”.
He slowly took a step forward and looked at this resolute man. He said in a gentle tone, “Senior Brother, I appreciate your kindness. I just want to ask Senior Brother one last thing.”
Wang Gen raised his eyebrows and said, “Junior Brother, please speak.”
Sun You smiled and said, “Senior Brother, my grandfather has a direct son, my eldest uncle, Sun Hong, and then his grandson, my eldest brother, Sun Heng. The family inheritance is obvious, but I wonder if Senior Brother’s ambition will be extended.”
Wang Gen’s body trembled and he suddenly raised his eyes. His eyes instantly lit up like lightning. His expression was also cold as he looked at Sun You coldly.
On the other hand, Sun You was calm. He walked back to the table and slowly sat back down. Then, he turned around and smiled at Wang Gen, but he made an appearance that he was prepared to chat for a long time.

Liuyun City.
On the second day after returning from the Divine Immortal Gathering, Shen Shi brought the little black pig out of the secluded and peaceful cottage and prepared to head to the centipede mountain that had more than 200 miles of demonic beast herbs outside the city. Ling Chunni looked a little reluctant to part, but everyone was not a child after all, and they were not teenagers who knew nothing but love. The world was so difficult, so how could ordinary mortals sit idly by?
Therefore, she only quietly helped Shen Shi pack up his things and clothes and walked all the way to the door. Before Shen Shi opened the door and left, she gently hugged him and didn’t say anything.
Shen Shi also felt a few differences in his heart. Unknowingly, this ordinary room and courtyard had actually given him a trace of kindness in such a short period of time. Perhaps it was some kind of mood that he had not felt for many years, just like the warm home he had once had when he was very young.
So he hugged the woman and smiled gently and said calmly, “Wait for me to come back.”
After a pause, he seemed to be a little afraid that she would not be at ease. He smiled and said, “It will only take a few days.”
Ling Chunni nodded heavily and smiled, “Yes, I know.”
Shen Shi nodded and called out. The Little Hei Pig, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately rushed to his side. It seemed to be in high spirits as it lay on the ground under the door and kept on commotion. It seemed that it had been suppressed fiercely during this period of time.
Shen Shi smiled and opened the door. After waving at Ling Chunni, he strode out. Ling Chunni watched as the man led Little Hei away and leaned against the door. He didn’t move for a long time, as if he was a little stupid.
Shen Shi brought Xiao Hei all the way out of Floating Cloud City through the north gate and then headed northwest. After walking for about two hours, he saw the outline of Centipede Mountain appearing in front of him.
According to the Geographical Records of Haizhou, the Centipede Mountain was not named because there were many centipedes in the mountain, but because the mountain was long and undulating like a centipede from afar. There were many demonic beasts in this mountain, and it was also rich in all kinds of spirit herbs. Because of the abundant spiritual energy in the earth veins, high-grade spirit herbs were also seen, attracting many cultivators to come here to temper and explore. Of course, the majority of them were loose cultivators.
Looking at the mountain ahead, Shen Shi smiled and kicked the Little Hei pig’s butt beside him. He smiled and said, “Little Hei, let me discuss this with you. I’m a poor man with a huge debt now. Please help me. After we enter the mountain, you can use more strength, kill more demonic beasts, and find more spiritual herbs, okay?”
Little Hei looked up at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi smiled.
Little Black decisively shook his head, waved his tail, and leisurely trotted forward.
Shen Shi stifled for a moment, feeling a little annoyed. He muttered to himself, “Why is this pig getting lazier and lazier?”
As they walked, One man and one pig quickly arrived at the foot of Centipede Mountain. Shen Shi first glanced around. He saw that there were no figures in his surroundings, It seemed to be different from the rumors that there were quite a few rogue cultivators in the Centipede Mountain area who went on herb picking expeditions. However, it was naturally a good thing that no other cultivators had appeared. Nobody had robbed them of anything, so he nodded in a good mood and took Little Hei deeper into the mountain range.
The Centipede Mountain rose and fell continuously. It was a thousand kilometers in radius and covered a very wide area. It was simply unrealistic to want to sweep it all over in a short period of time. Therefore, Shen Shi was not in a hurry. He brought Little Hei along with him and slowly walked forward in this direction.
Along the way, As the rumors had it, there were indeed quite a few demonic beasts in Centipede Mountain. However, in the outer region of the mountain range, the demonic beasts were still low-grade. Most of them were low-grade First and Second Grade demonic beasts. For Shen Shi, he could basically send them away without wasting too much strength. At the same time, he also managed to retrieve some spirit materials from the demonic beasts. However, demonic beasts weren’t of high grade, so the value of these spiritual materials was average.
Apart from that, Little Hei still looked lazy. Although he was very excited to explore the wilderness with Shen Shi at the beginning, if he really wanted to ask him to search for spiritual herbs like he used to, this pig would feel as if it had eaten its fill and was unable to lift its spirits.
He was lazy all the way. Half a day later, he had actually only found two spiritual herbs for Shen Shi. They were also the lowest grade first grade spiritual herbs, causing Shen Shi to be completely speechless.
As dusk fell and the sky gradually darkened, Shen Shi decided to bring Xiao Hei to find a place to spend the night. In the wilderness of Centipede Mountain, the night was much more dangerous than the day. The experienced Shen Shi had a plan to deal with this. After all, he had a lot of experience in the past.
However, just as he found a dense forest and looked at a large tree, preparing to bring Little Hei up to the tree for the night, he suddenly heard a miserable scream from the depths of the forest. Then, a man’s voice came from that direction, filled with shock and anger. He roared angrily,
“Bastard, do the people of your Mountain Bear Hall want to be enemies with our Xu Clan?”
