Killing God - Chapter 412
Chapter 412 Generous Gift
Shen Shi agreed and waited in the Five Elements Hall. It had been many days since Xu Yanzhi had seen his junior apprentice-brother. In addition, she knew that Shen Shi had unexpectedly obtained the third place in the Hundred Mountain Realm Trial. She was also very happy.
The entrance of the Hall of Arts had declined for many years, and now, apart from Elder Pu Siyi, there was practically no one else on the stage who could take action. This time, Shen Shi could be said to have unexpectedly stood out, making Xu Yanzhi exceptionally happy.
During the chat, Shen Shi also felt that his Senior Sister Xu was truly happy for him. She actually didn’t have the slightest bit of jealousy. It seemed that her temperament was really pure and gentle, and he couldn’t help but feel closer to her from the bottom of his heart. After the two of them spoke for a while, they heard a gust of wind outside. They turned around and saw that it was the white-haired and white-bearded Old Man Pu with his hands behind his back. He walked in with a relaxed expression on his face.
“Master.”
The two of them greeted him together. Old Man Pu seemed to be in a good mood. He nodded with a smile and said, “Everything is here. Follow me in.” As he spoke, he brought his two disciples into the back hall of the Five Elements Hall. When he arrived at the study room, Old Man Pu turned around and waved to Shen Shi. He smiled and said,
“Shitou, you really didn’t disappoint me this time. Good job.” After saying that, he paused for a moment and said seriously, “It’s much better than you, Senior Sister!”
Just as Shen Shi wanted to thank him humbly, he couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard the last sentence. Xu Yanzhi, who was beside him, was immediately unhappy and said angrily, “Hey, Master, what do you mean? If you want to praise Junior Brother Shen, just praise him. Why did you bring me along with you?”
Old Man Pu chuckled and ignored his female disciple. He just looked at Shen Shi with a smile and nodded repeatedly, “Not bad, not bad, hahaha …”
Shen Shi looked at Xu Yanzhi awkwardly. He saw that his senior sister was so angry that she pouted her mouth. It seemed that she was extremely indignant about Old Man Pu’s partiality. She stomped her foot and turned around to leave. Old Man Pu seemed to have reacted at this moment. Seeing Xu Yanzhi walking out of the door, he hurriedly shouted, “Hey, Xiaozhi, remember to buy me some wine when we go down the mountain.”
In the next moment, Xu Yanzhi disappeared from the door. Suddenly, there was a moment of silence outside the door. Then, she heard a clear and angry voice from over there, loudly saying, “Who cares about your wine? Don’t buy it!”
Old Man Pu paused for a moment. Scratching his head, he seemed a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly. He turned around and was just about to speak to Shen Shi when Xu Yanzhi’s head suddenly popped out from the window outside the room. He snorted and said angrily,
“What kind of wine do you want to drink? Hurry up and tell me!”
Old Man Pu laughed and waved his hand happily. He smiled and said, “Flower carvings, flower carvings, take two or three jars casually. Er, three or four … Er, five or six jars will be fine!”
Xu Yanzhi glared at the old man and shook her head. She was like an angry but proud hen and walked away.
Old Man Pu smiled and turned around. He fell onto the reclining chair beside the desk and waved at Shen Shi. Shen Shi walked over and smiled bitterly, “Master, I think Senior Sister treats you well. You don’t have to say that about her.”
Old Man Pu rolled his eyes and said, “I’m joking. I was joking with her. Can’t you tell?”
Shen Shi thought for a moment and then said, “Master, I really didn’t see it just now.”
Old Man Pu said, “… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Just now, at Cloud Sky Hall, you chose the Snow Pouring Sword. Where is it now?”
Shen Shi hurriedly took out this newly acquired spirit sword magic tool from his Ruyi bag and handed it to Old Man Pu. Old Man Pu took it and glanced at it. He saw that the sword blade on this short sword was sharp and radiant with cold light. There was a surge of spirit energy contained within it, and he couldn’t help but nod with a smile. “You have a good eye. This spirit sword is indeed very good.”
As he spoke, he handed the Qingxue Sword back to Shen Shi first. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf. After searching for a while, he took out a thin little book and threw it to Shen Shi.
Shen Shi hurriedly reached out and caught it. He lowered his head and saw that the page was ancient and fragrant, but it was generally intact. There were three words written on the cover, “Imperial Swordsmanship”.
Shen Shi felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He raised his head to look at Master and said, “Master, this …”
Old Man Pu chuckled and said, “The Snow Pouring Sword is not an ordinary grade, and it does have the ability to fly. However, you don’t think that you can casually fly with your sword, do you? This is also a divine ability technique, so you can take it back and cultivate it for a long time.” “With your talent, this technique isn’t difficult. With the help of the Snow Pouring Sword, you should be able to comprehend it in half a month and catch up with Wentian Secret Realm.”
Shen Shi nodded repeatedly, but he was suddenly stunned. He raised his head in shock and said, “Master, what did you say last?”
Old Man Pu shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t have any intention of keeping it a secret from his favorite disciple. He directly told Shen Shi everything about the Origin Sect’s people coming to notify the Mangu Mirage that something had changed, the Four Great Conferences, and even the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm trip might be half a year ahead of schedule.
After Shen Shi heard this, he was also speechless for a moment. This matter was really sudden. Old Man Pu, who was lying on the chair again, pondered for a while and then said, “Shi Shi, what do you know about Wentian Secret Realm?”
After a moment of silence, Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Disciple has only heard rumors that Wentian Secret Realm is probably the number one wondrous place in the cultivation world. The secret realm is vast and changeable. It is said that every time I enter the secret realm, it is a completely different world, and my past experience is completely useless.” Within the secret realm, there were countless mysterious and bizarre opportunities, as well as many unfathomable dangers. Moreover, the secret realm was naturally isolated from the outside world. After entering, it completely lost contact with the Primordial Chaos Master Realm. Everything could only rely on itself, so that’s about it. ”
Old Man Pu nodded his head and said, “Yes, it’s probably the same in the world. However, do you know where the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm came from? And why has the Primordial Era’s Mirage Pearl that opened the Secret Realm been controlled by the Origin Sect for so many years? However, once every ten years, the four main sects gather together to send their disciples into the Secret Realm?”
Actually, Shen Shi had doubts about these questions in his heart earlier. Now that he heard Old Man Pu suddenly take the initiative to speak, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Disciple, I don’t know. Could it be that there is some other reason behind this?”
Old Man Pu smiled faintly and said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter. It is said that Wentian Secret Realm was first discovered ten thousand years ago during the Human-Demon War, and the person who discovered it was Yuan Wentian, the leader of the six human saints. Therefore, this secret realm has been called Wentian Secret Realm for many years.” As for why the four sects would gather together to explore the secret realm, it was rumored that when the secret realm was first opened, it was extremely dangerous. It was suppressed and stabilized by the Six Saints with their supreme divine abilities, becoming the best place to temper the disciples of the two stages of the Origin Condensation Divine Will. “Because the Six Saints had exerted their strength back then, the Four Great Sect Disciples of the Six Saints must have entered the secret realm to search for opportunities before the secret realm was opened.”
“Oh, I see.” Shen Shi suddenly came to a realization and nodded. However, his mind was very careful. He thought about what Master had just said in his heart, but he felt that there was something wrong with the rumors that had been passed down. However, he couldn’t think of anything for a moment. He smiled and said, “So, Master, did you go in once back then?”
Old Man Pu laughed loudly and said proudly, “That’s right. Thinking back to when Senior Brother and I entered that secret realm, that’s really … er, forget it. Let’s not talk about those things back then, hahahaha.” As he laughed loudly, he seemed to recall some happy memories. Old Man Pu smiled at Shen Shi as he said, “Anyway, it seems that the Four Main Conferences will most likely be held early this time. After all, this secret realm only opens once every ten years, and this opportunity is extremely rare. I’m guessing that not only Lingxiao Sect, but Tianjian Palace and Zhenlong Palace will also agree.”
“What about this matter? There are advantages and disadvantages.” Old Man Pu gently tapped the back of his chair and said, “The downside is that I originally wanted to teach you a few more high-level spells in the next six months, so that you could have more or less self-defense spells when you entered Wentian Secret Realm. However, it seems that it’s too late now. The benefits are on the Snow Pouring Sword that you just received.”
“Snow Pouring Sword?” Shen Shi glanced at the cold dagger in his hand.
Old Man Pu smiled and said, “As long as you cultivate the Imperial Sword Technique, you will be able to fly in the secret realm with your sword. This is definitely a better place than most people. You will find it much easier to rely on this flying sword in dangerous areas that are difficult to get close to and difficult to cross. However, in the end, it will depend on your own luck.”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “Yes, disciple understands.”
Old Man Pu smiled and then frowned. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Time is indeed too tight. If I’m not mistaken, since I’ve decided to go, then my sect’s troops will have to leave within 15 to 20 days at the latest. In such a short period of time, even if I give you some magic treasures and spirit artifacts, it will be difficult for you to fully master the refinement. What should we do?”
Shen Shi didn’t dare to interrupt Master’s contemplation, so he stood at the side and waited. After a while, Old Man Pu suddenly raised his head to look at him and said, “Oh right, how are you doing with the two Five Elements Third Grade spells I taught you last time?”
Shen Shi replied, “Reporting to Master, the disciple of the ‘Ice Sword Technique’ has already cultivated and can be used against enemies. However, the ‘Sparkling Technique’ is really difficult. In addition, he has been busy cultivating in the Hundred Mountain Realm a few days ago, so he hasn’t cultivated it yet. Disciple is stupid, please forgive me.”
Old Man Pu waved his hand and said, “Forgive me. Your talent in the Five Elements Technique is already good enough. Other than me, no one else has been able to compare to you for so many years. Hmm … However, just the Ice Sword Technique feels a little thin. That Scintillation Technique is the most difficult of the Third Grade techniques. It’s normal for you to be unable to comprehend it in a hurry.” With that, he rolled his eyes and sat up from the couch. He muttered, “Originally, I was going to use this half a year to teach you another divine tunnel technique, but now it’s too late.”
As he spoke, he shook his head. Old Man Pu stretched out his hand and wiped it on his body. Shen Shi did not see where this old man was hiding any storage magic artifacts that resembled Ruyi Bag. However, he saw that there was an additional golden silk nanmu box that was about a foot wide in his hand. He threw it over.
Shen Shi subconsciously caught it. Just as he was puzzled, he heard his master chuckle and say,
“This box contains some of the talismans that I used when I was young. It looks like you still have a bit of talent on it. Furthermore, the people of our Hall of Arts are the fastest and most convenient to use this item, so I’ll give it to you.”
Shen Shi gently opened the lid of the wooden box. When his gaze fell, for a moment, he couldn’t help but hold his breath.
Inside the wooden box, bundles of talismans with different colors and patterns were neatly arranged. Looking at it roughly, there were at least twenty bundles of talismans. Judging from the thickness of each bundle, there were probably no less than a hundred talismans.
In other words, the box of talismans that Old Man Pu casually threw over had actually exceeded two thousand. Even with Shen Shi’s experience and vision, he was stunned on the spot this time. He was speechless for a while. It took him a long time to look at Old Man Pu. His eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration as he shouted,
“Master, you …”
