Killing God - Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Pick A Treasure

When Zhong Qinglu walked out, her expression was calm, but there was still an unconcealable smile between her eyebrows. It was obvious that the benefits she had obtained from the Cloud Hall made her very happy and satisfied. At the same time, the gazes of the other four people waiting to receive the reward fell on her with different expressions.

Zhong Qinglu walked over and nodded to the crowd. Then, she looked at Zhong Qingzhu and said, “Qingzhu, the Sect Leader has called you in.”

Zhong Qingzhu nodded. There was a look of anticipation on his face. After taking a deep breath, he walked towards Yunxiao Palace. Behind her, Zhong Qinglu smiled and walked over to Shen Shi. She glanced at Gan Ze who was standing at the side and smiled, “Eh, when did you two get along so well?”

Shen Shi and Gan Ze exchanged a glance and immediately laughed. Shen Shi smiled and said, “In any case, we had some friendship back then on Blue Fish Island. In the future, we may not enter the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm together. I need to curry favor with Senior Brother Gan.”

Gan Ze laughed and said, “Come on, you’re still above me.” As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhong Qinglu and smiled, “Oh right, Junior Sister Zhong, how are the treasures inside?”

Zhong Qinglu hesitated and looked at Kang Chen, who was standing beside her. She saw that Kang Chen was also looking at her with a faint smile. She couldn’t help but stuck out her tongue and whispered, “When I came out, Senior Brother Du Tiejian told me that it was best not to mention anything about this treasure reward, at least not before entering Wentian Secret Realm.”

Shen Shi and Gan Ze both nodded their heads. Since the Division Commander had given them such instructions, they naturally wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. Such a few people were chatting with each other for a while. Unlike when Zhong Qingzhu was here, Zhong Qinglu seemed to be able to speak more to Shen Shi and Gan Ze, so she had always talked to the two of them. Instead, she did not have much conversation with Kang You Ling, who was standing at the side.

Almost half a cup of tea had passed, and there was another movement in Cloud Sky Hall. However, Zhong Qingzhu walked out and walked over. Shen Shi’s spirits lifted, and he knew that it was his turn to be the next one. At the same time, Kang Chen smiled and said, “Junior Brother Shen, you can go over now.”

Shen Shi hurriedly agreed. He strode forward and saw Zhong Qingzhu’s calm expression from afar. However, after seeing Shen Shi from afar, a trace of a smile appeared on her face. The two of them got closer and closer. Just as they were about to brush past each other, Shen Shi suddenly heard an extremely soft voice floating from her mouth.

“Sword!”

The voice was so soft that it sounded like an unintentional whisper to herself. Perhaps it was meaningless at all. Perhaps it was just a casual snort from her. In the next moment, the two of them brushed past each other and ran in two different directions.

The thick and tall Cloud Heaven Palace Gate appeared right in front of Shen Shi’s eyes. It didn’t seem to have changed at all from the last time he came here in his memories.

④

Squeak … The door slowly retreated. Shen Shi walked into the hall. Sure enough, the solemnity and grandeur inside did not change much from what he remembered. It was as if this hall had been like this for many years, and there had never been any change.

In the middle of the hall in the distance, a few people were sitting there. Apart from Daoist Priest Huaiyuan in the middle, there was one person on each side. They were Elder Yun Ni and Shen Shi’s master, Old Man Pu. This shocked Shen Shi. Apart from that, not far away from him, Du Tiejian stood there and smiled at him. It seemed that he had been waiting for him intentionally.

Shen Shi didn’t dare to neglect him. He hurriedly bowed to him. Du Tiejian smiled and said, “Junior Brother Shen, don’t be too polite. Follow me.”

As he spoke, he brought Shen Shi to the front of the three Origin Core Realm True Cultivators. True Cultivator Huai Yuan’s expression was gentle and he smiled as he looked at him. On the left, Elder Yun Ni’s expression was dull. She sat upright with her eyes closed and looked expressionless. As for the white-haired, white-bearded old man on Adept Huaiyuan’s right hand, he looked at Shen Shi with a wide smile and grinned happily from ear to ear.

Shen Shi greeted these elders before finally kowtowing in front of Old Man Pu Siyi and saying, “Master …”

Just as he shouted, he felt his body lighten and he was already lifted up by Old Man Pu. Old Man Pu laughed loudly and said, “Not bad, not bad, well done. Stone, what are you kneeling for? Don’t kneel anymore, hahahaha …”

He smiled quite unscrupulously, as if he didn’t care what others felt when he was happy. Adept Huaiyuan smiled, while Elder Yun Ni, who had originally closed his eyes to recuperate, glared at the old man impatiently with a look of disgust on his face.

Daoist Huaiyuan shook his head with a smile and said, “Shen Shi, your performance this time is indeed good. With your cultivation time, it is truly rare for you to be able to accomplish this step. Congratulations.”

Shen Shi lowered his head and said honestly, “It was all disciples and masters who taught them well.”

“Hahahaha” Old Man Pu was pleased with himself again. He looked really satisfied. It had been many years since he had tasted this kind of limelight. Yun Ni snorted from the side. A trace of arrogance appeared in the depths of her eyes. It was as if she was thinking that the number one person here wasn’t much better. It was truly embarrassing for a mere third place in your hall to have the nerve to be so arrogant.

At the same time, Daoist Huaiyuan seemed to be unable to endure his junior apprentice-brother’s excitement. He winked at Du Tiejian. Du Tiejian understood and hurriedly walked over to call Shen Shi. Then, the two of them walked to a long table beside him. Shen Shi’s gaze fell. There were five wooden boxes placed on the wooden table, each of them opened. However, the first wooden box and the fourth wooden box from the left were already empty. Of the remaining three wooden boxes, the second wooden box was a short sword, the third wooden box was a scroll, and the fifth wooden box was a jade bottle.

At this time, Du Tiejian walked to the other side of the long table and said to Shen Shi with a smile,

“Junior Brother Shen, the things on this table are the treasures that the sect is prepared to reward to the top five of you. However, according to our rules, the treasures are only placed here. They are sizeable in appearance but cannot be examined carefully. After confirming it, you can choose one. “Traditionally, only the first-ranked person has the privilege to carefully examine a treasure and then consider choosing one of the five treasures. In doing so, it would be fair to the newcomers as much as possible.”

At this point, Du Tiejian paused for a moment. Seeing Shen Shi slowly nod, She looked at the three treasures on the table and smiled, “However, the situation this year is somewhat different. Junior Sister Zhong Qinglu’s Mountain Divine Jade is truly extraordinary. At the suggestion of Elder Yun Ni, she was finally granted the privilege to carefully examine the two treasures and choose one. Junior Sister Zhong Qingzhu, who came in second, followed suit and picked another treasure.” It’s a pity that you don’t have the right to do so. Now take a look for yourself and choose one of these three treasures. ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected the sect to have such a rule. However, since Senior Brother Du had said so, he naturally had no objection. However, his gaze swept across the remaining three boxes on the table. Looking at the short sword, scroll, and jade bottle, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to choose.

You can’t take a closer look, He could only roughly look at his appearance, It’s really hard to decide, Fortunately, the seniors from Lingxiao Sect weren’t completely heartless, After he looked at it for a while and didn’t make a decision, Du Tiejian smiled and said, “Junior Brother Shen, these remaining treasures are not bad. This short sword is a magical artifact, and that scroll records a divine passage technique of our sect. As for the last jade bottle, you should know that our sect has always been famous for alchemy immortal pills, so there is a bottle of precious spirit pills inside.” These three treasures are of great help to cultivators. It depends on how you choose them. I can’t say anything else, hahaha … ”

At the end, Du Tiejian also laughed heartily with a straightforward expression.

Shen Shi smiled, but he was still a little hesitant. Although Du Tiejian introduced the three treasures briefly, he still didn’t know what their foundations were. What was the special effect of the short sword artifact, what divine abilities were recorded in the scroll, and what kind of spirit medicine was that bottle of spirit pills? This choice was really hard to make.

He pondered for a moment. He seemed to be a little uncertain. On the other side, Old Man Pu seemed to be a little anxious. He secretly wanted to make some small gestures, but just as his body moved, Elder Yun Ni snorted coldly and glared at him fiercely.

Old Man Pu smiled awkwardly and sat up straight. However, he rolled his eyes. He looked somewhat dissatisfied and muttered vaguely, “No wonder he was so fierce back then …”

No one knew what he was talking about. Elder Yun Ni did not seem to have heard him clearly. However, based on her knowledge of this person, she did not expect to say anything good. With her eyebrows raised, her face became somewhat unhappy.

Shen Shi naturally didn’t notice when his eyebrows were crossing coldly. At this moment, his mind was focused on the three treasures. Then, naturally, he thought of the seemingly imperceptible words that Zhong Qingzhu suddenly spat out when they brushed past each other outside Cloud Sky Hall.

Sword!

Could it be that she was talking about this short sword?

But what exactly did Zhong Qingzhu mean? Did she mean that there was a dagger in the treasure, or did she mean that this dagger looked pretty good? Or did she even say that she had used the privilege of checking it carefully for the only time just now. What she saw was this dagger, and she also found that this dagger was pretty good?

However, if this short sword was truly extremely valuable, why didn’t she choose to leave by herself? She only had one chance to scrutinize it herself.

Shen Shi hesitated at the table for a long time. It had been a long time since he had hesitated so much on a matter. However, the other people in the palace seemed to have good patience and no one was born to urge him.

After a long while, in the silence of the hall, Shen Shi suddenly shouted politely, “Senior Brother Du, I’ve thought of it. Let’s pick this short sword.”
