Killing God - Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Courtesy Is More Important Than Affection
Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Shen Shi. Shen Shi smiled and looked at her. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said softly, “Alright.”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll see you tonight. I’ll go first.”

After saying that, he turned around and left the Spirit Medicine Hall. Little Hei lazily got up from the ground and swayed as he followed. Zhong Qinglu’s eyes lit up as she watched him leave the Spirit Medicine Hall. She didn’t know what she was thinking.

After leaving the Spirit Medicine Hall, Shen Shi didn’t go anywhere else. Instead, he went straight down the mountain path to his cave in the secluded valley. He hadn’t come back for days, The scenery in the valley was still the same as before. The shade of trees was dense and green. As the old vine trees crisscrossed, the sound of water flowing from the distant waterfall came from afar. A few bird chirps and a few cold winds seemed to make people feel as if time had stopped here. It was as if the things in the valley would never change. It had always been like this.

Shen Shi walked along the moss-covered mountain path. The air was humid as usual. The first thing he saw was not his own cave, but the neighbor that he remembered had been closed for a long time without any movement.

This strange cave, which had never changed, and Shen Shi’s own cave were the only two caves in this valley. Perhaps it was because this valley was dark and humid, and it was indeed not liked by most of the disciples of Lingxiao Sect, so the number of caves opened here was pitifully small. Shen Shi had lived here for a while, but he had never seen anyone in the cave next door. Even today, the stone door was also tightly closed.

Maybe no one lives here.

Shen Shi thought of this in his heart. He walked over lightly and circled around the corner of the mountain path. As he listened to the sound of water gradually becoming loud, he soon saw the “home” that belonged to him.

Many fallen leaves had already fallen from the entrance of the cave. From the looks of it, the stone door looked a little dejected. In the absence of the owner of the cave, no one on the mountain would come to help him clean up the courtyard.

However, Shen Shi didn’t really care. He strode over and felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. He casually waved his sleeves a few times and a few strong winds blew out from the bottom of his sleeves. Most of the fallen leaves easily blew to the side of the road, causing the stone path in front of the door to look much tidier and cleaner.

He took out the Cloud Talisman and opened the stone door. With a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly moved open. However, Shen Shi did not immediately enter the door. Instead, he paused for a moment before lowering his head and smiling at Little Hei. “Little Hei, you’re all back. You can go out and play as you please. Remember this valley elsewhere.”

The Little Hei pig looked up at him as if it had nothing to do with this suggestion. However, after a moment, it turned its head to look in the direction of the waterfall, as if it had gained some interest. Then, it turned around and ran towards the depths of the valley where the waterfall was.

Shen Shi glanced over there. There was a waterfall flowing down from the depths of the valley. He had lived here for quite some time, and had certainly seen it twice before. However, it seemed like it was just an ordinary waterfall in the middle of a mountain. The water flowing down converged into a stream and winded through the bottom of the valley. However, when Piggy Little Hei stayed in this valley, he liked to sneak around the waterfall when he had nothing to do. He didn’t know why.

Turning around and entering the cave, Shen Shi closed the stone door first. In the cave with the Immortal Clan’s Dao Art, there was almost no dust left. Everything was as clean and tidy as the last time he left. Shen Shi looked left and right, and then walked deeper into the cave. However, this time, he did not go to the bedroom where he usually lived. Instead, he walked into another empty room next to the bedroom that occupied an even larger space.

Several long and neat stone grooves and two stone frames were dug out on both sides of the stone room. Looking at the regulation, it was the standard storeroom prepared for the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect Sect. Shen Shi stood in the middle of the stone room and looked around. He seemed to be observing and estimating something. After a while, he nodded. Then, he reached out and took out a Ruyi bag from his bosom.

This Ruyi Bag looked ordinary, but it wasn’t the one that he usually hung around his waist. It was something that Hou Sheng had given him after an inexplicable transaction with Hou Sheng, who had already become a half-human and half-ghost monster, a few days ago in a small forest outside Floating Cloud City.

Shen Shi glanced at the Ruyi bag in his hand. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly flipped his wrist. At the same time, his Spiritual Energy divine sense sank into the bag and he began to flip through the bag. A moment later, a faint light flashed across the Ruyi bag, and one thing after another began to pour out of the Ruyi bag.

It was surprisingly numerous spirit herbs of various shapes and types. The amount was even more astonishing. However, Shen Shi’s expression remained calm as he watched the bundles of spirit herbs continuously pour down from the Ruyi bag. Soon, they were piled up in this stone room, and they were constantly growing taller and taller.

The unique fragrance of spiritual herbs spread throughout the stone room.

At this moment, if Little Hei, who was addicted to eating spirit herbs, were here, he would have already pounced forward with saliva flowing out of his eyes. Fortunately, Shen Shi had already foreseen that he would have sent the food away early in the morning. Hou Sheng had given him this shocking Ruyi bag as a thank you gift for helping Hou Sheng find his father. This deal was made privately when he accidentally encountered Hou Sheng during his adventure in Centipede Mountain.

Of course, it wouldn’t be smooth sailing, but no matter what, perhaps they had experienced the horrible scene under Soul Suppressing Abyss together, or after all, they used to have the same sect friendship in the past. Shen Shi still helped Hou Sheng to reunite their father and son.

However, when he thought of their father and son being together, Shen Shi sighed softly in his heart. He did not know where his father, Shen Tai, was right now.

The Ruyi Bag could hold many things, and even more so spirit herbs that weren’t big like spirit herbs. After pouring for a while, the Ruyi Bag was able to pour out all the spirit herbs. At this moment, a half-human chassis that was four to five feet tall had already appeared in this stone room. All of them were piles of medicinal herbs that were piled up from all sorts of spirit herbs.

Looking at this pile of spiritual herbs, even Shen Shi took a deep breath. On that day in Centipede Mountain, Hou Sheng had shown his sincerity and had really invested a lot of money. Was this … considered to be an overnight fortune?

No matter what, Shen Shi’s mood was still much better when he saw this pair of spirit herbs. Then, he squatted down and began to tidy up, distinguish, summarize, and organize this large pile of spirit herbs.

This wasn’t a simple task, consuming a lot of energy and energy, and also requiring an extremely high level of insight and vision. Fortunately, for Shen Shi, this was not a difficult task for most cultivators.

Spirit herbs passed by his hands one by one. He only took a few glances at almost every kind of spirit herb and was able to quickly identify the type, name, grade, medicinal properties, and even the quality of the spirit herbs. Then, he placed them on the open space beside him and placed them in different categories.

The stone room was calm and silent. He could only see his busy figure walking back and forth between the pile of medicine and the open space of the stone room. Then, he carried him away from the pile of spiritual herbs.

Just like that, time unknowingly passed. The pile of spiritual herbs slowly but uninterruptedly descended, and the amount of spiritual herbs distributed on the spacious stone room gradually increased, gradually occupying all of the space. Looking around, the stone room seemed to have been covered with a carpet made entirely of spirit herbs, enough to make many low-grade cultivators jealous.

After Shen Shi had finally finished picking and sorting out all the spirit herbs, and after the large pile of spirit herbs had been completely placed in different categories, Shen Shi finally let out a long sigh of relief and stretched his waist.

This pile of herbs was quite large, After rough estimation, The total should be in the early 1000’s, However, the quality of the spirit herbs was still a bit inferior. More than 70% of them were ordinary first-grade spirit herbs, and then the second-grade spirit herbs accounted for more than 20% of the remaining. As for the third-grade spirit herbs that were truly worthy of attention and could be used as the main ingredients of some important pill formulas, they were pitifully rare. After searching for a long time, Shen Shi had probably only found less than 50 spirit herbs.

However, Shen Shi wasn’t dissatisfied with this result. In fact, things should have been like this. Grade three spirit herbs were already rare. It was already a pleasant surprise to have fifty. Just this amount and some supplementary spirit materials were enough to refine a valuable spirit pill. As for those first-grade and second-grade spirit herbs, they were actually worth quite a bit of spirit crystals, and many of them were supplementary ingredients for many pill formulas.

However, apart from that, Shen Shi didn’t see a single herb that was above the fourth grade spirit herb that was even higher than the third grade spirit herb. It could be considered a small pity.

Shen Shi stood in the truth and looked around. After pondering for a while, he seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, he nodded slightly. He went to the Ruyi Bag before, but he started to walk among the spiritual herbs on the ground. His eyes were bright and focused. Occasionally, he would stoop down to pick up a type of spiritual herbs and put them all into Ruyi Bags.

After walking back and forth in the stone room for three or four laps, the number of spiritual herbs on the ground had almost decreased by half, including the most important third-grade spiritual herbs. There were about eight different types of spiritual herbs in the Ruyi bag in his hand.

At this time, Shen Shi glanced at the Ruyi bag in his hand and nodded slightly. Then, he put it away and took out another Ruyi bag. This time, it was much tidier. He did not intend to distinguish it any further. Instead, he placed all the remaining spiritual herbs on the empty space in the stone room into it and casually placed them on a stone shelf beside him.

Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief after finishing his preparations. Just as he was about to walk back to his bedroom to rest, he heard a sound coming from the stone door. It was as if someone was knocking on the door.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He quickly walked over and moved the stone door. Suddenly, the sky outside the cave had already turned dark yellow. On that night, a woman was standing outside his cave in the wind. Her beautiful hair had a gentle expression on her shoulders, and she was smiling as she looked at him.

However, Zhong Qinglu had already arrived.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that he would unknowingly tidy up that pile of spiritual herbs for so long. He immediately smiled and said, “You’re here. Please come in quickly.”

Zhong Qinglu smiled and walked in. She looked around his cave in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, she frowned and said, “Eh, you’ve lived here for so long. Why haven’t you bought anything else? It looks so crude.”

Shen Shi laughed heartily. He really didn’t put much effort into this cave, but he didn’t care. He took Zhong Qinglu to the table and sat down. “Isn’t this lazy of mine? In the future, I will definitely buy more slowly,” he said with a smile.

Zhong Qinglu sneered and shook her head. She looked as if she did not believe him. Her bright eyes swept across the nearby caves, as if she had some intentions.

However, Shen Shi did not pay any attention to Zhong Qinglu’s expression and movements. Instead, he took out a Ruyi bag from his bosom and gently pushed it onto the table in front of Zhong Qinglu.

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment and said, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “This is for you.”
