Killing God - Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Seek Advice
On this day, Shen Shi slaughtered a total of seven Ghost-Faced Shrimp, and seven pieces of tender white shrimp meat appeared in the bowl beside the shrimp cage.
Hai Xing raised his head to look at the sky, then looked at Shen Shi who had returned from washing in the sea. He casually tossed his clean clothes to him on the shore and said, “Not bad, it’s about the same time. He even talked to me for a while, but in the end, he killed two more than yesterday.”
Shen Shi caught his clothes and smiled. He threw away the water droplets on his body. After peeling shrimps and chatting for the past two days, of course, this Hai Xing girl went to the sea to save his life. The relationship between the two quickly became familiar.
However, it seemed that Hai Xing still didn’t understand Shen Shi’s unusual self-control. He still said with some confusion, “But I still feel that there is still some time left. Furthermore, it seems like you aren’t particularly tired. Why don’t you kill a few more?”
Shen Shi said, “I still have some matters to attend to. I have some problems with my cultivation. I plan to go to the Green Fish Market and ask a senior brother for advice.”
‘”Oh!” Hai Xing didn’t say anything. After all, even she understood that the most important thing for these Lingxiao Sect rookies was to cultivate. She didn’t say anything at the moment. She just looked at Shen Shi wiping the water droplets off his head and asked with a smile, “When are you going to learn how to swim from me?”
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t we start tomorrow?”
Hai Xing nodded and thought of something. He suddenly shook his head and said, “But this can’t delay you from peeling the shrimp. At least it can’t be less than today!”
Shen Shi laughed loudly and said, “Alright, in the future, we will peel at least ten shrimps every day, and then talk about other things.”
Starfish smiled and slightly narrowed his eyes, a little like a crescent moon, nodding his head.
The sea breeze was cool. Shen Shi quickly felt that his body was almost dry. He quickly put on his clothes. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Hai Xing, a figure suddenly appeared on the road leading to Red Clam Village. He looked around for a while and soon saw them. He immediately ran over.
Shen Shi looked at them with a look of surprise on his face. He welcomed them and asked curiously, “Sun You, why are you here?”
Sun You laughed and said, “I’ve finished my work today. Let me see if it’s still early. Why don’t I just run over and see how you’re doing?” As he spoke, he glanced behind him and lowered his voice. “Are you tired from this work? If you really can’t do it, why don’t you go back to White Crane Hall …”
Shen Shi shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s okay. There are no more good missions in White Crane Hall. I’ll do this first. I’ll talk about it later.”
Fellow Sun sighed and said, “Alright.”
At this moment, Hai Xing walked past them with the bowl of shrimp in his hand. It looked like he was going back to the village. Hearing a few words from the two of them, he suddenly looked up and down at Sun You and frowned slightly.
Young Friend Sun was a little anxious at the sight of this red clam girl. He took a step back and smiled dryly, “Is there something wrong with this … young lady?”
Hai Xing snorted and said, “You’re called Young Friend Sun?”
Young friend Sun nodded and said somewhat puzzled, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Hai Xing glared at him and said, “You don’t look like a good person!” With that, he raised his chin, turned around, and strode away.
Sun You stood there speechless for a long time. He finally regained his senses and said to Shen Shi, “This … What’s going on?”
Shen Shi coughed twice. He stepped forward and pulled Sun You back, saying, “I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because she doesn’t like you.”
Young friend Sun was pulled away by him and couldn’t help touching his cheek, as if he was wondering what was wrong with him?
After the two of them left Red Clam Village for a while, Shen Shi suddenly sniffed and said, “Strange, I seem to have smelled a strange smell from just now, but it hasn’t dissipated yet. Did it come from you?”
Young Friend Sun “uh” raised his sleeve and sniffed by his nose. His expression was a little awkward as he said, “It seems so.”
Shen Shi said, “What’s going on? This smell is a bit coquettish?”
‘”Isn’t it just the stench of those spirit beasts?” Young friend Sun said angrily. “Don’t tell me, we call spirit beasts and spirit beasts all day long. I originally thought that all of our immortal energy was clean, but when I went over to take a look, I found out that’ Cloud Chicken ‘,’ Iron Stone Ape ‘,’ Black Striped Turtle ‘, good fellows, each one is dirtier than the other. Are these spirit beasts really legendary?”
Shen Shi was also stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, “Is this really the case? It shouldn’t be.”
Sun You curled his lips and said, “Whoever says no, I’m depressed.” Today, I found an opportunity to ask my little uncle, Listen to him, those are really spirit beasts, But it’s said to be at the lowest level, Before he could open his mind, He didn’t have much spiritual energy, “The Spirit Beast Hall keeps them in captivity in Qingyu Island. It is said that these low-grade spirit beasts are still of some use in the end. There are some parts of their bodies that contain spirit energy that can be used as spirit materials. Secondly, it is also for the rookie disciples to train their hands and learn some basic skills in raising spirit beasts. In the future, they can only go to the Spirit Beast Hall to feed more rare high-grade spirit beasts.”
Shen Shi nodded his head slowly. He seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he suddenly asked, “Have you met anyone with you after you accepted the mission of feeding the beast for the past two days?”
Sun You thought for a while and said, “I do know some of them. Most of them are descendants of aristocratic families that I met in Floating Cloud City. I’ve only been here for two days, and I don’t know many new friends other than you.” He smiled and said to Shen Shi. Then, he rolled his eyes and said, “Oh, then Jiang Hongguang is also one.”
Shen Shi nodded and pondered for a moment, then said, “Do you know what mission the Zhong sisters took?”
Young Friend Sun seemed to be very well-informed. He didn’t even have the appearance of recalling it. He directly replied, “Oh, those two. Zhong Qinglu took the pill refining mission, while Zhong Qingzhu went to pick up the shellfish.”
Shen Shi smiled. He couldn’t see any expression on his face. He paused for a moment and then said, “Judging from your appearance, it seems that the whereabouts of the other aristocratic families’ disciples are also clear to him.”
Sun You laughed and said, “There is nothing else in this circle, just a bit of blind comparison. All kinds of rumors spread very quickly.” Let me think about it. The Gan Clan’s eldest brother also went to refine pills. I heard that my eldest brother is also feeding beasts. However, I haven’t seen him these past two days. He’s definitely hiding somewhere lazy. Hmph! The Hou Yuanliang from the Hou Clan has obtained the scallops. The eldest grandson of the Xu Clan, Xu Yingyan, is refining pills. There are also more than a dozen descendants of aristocratic clans that I have known since childhood. They are all about the same, right? Look at this, what a coincidence. They are all … ”
Before he could finish speaking, Sun You was suddenly stunned and frowned. He seemed to recall something that he hadn’t noticed before, but he couldn’t continue speaking for a while.
After a while, he secretly glanced at Shen Shi beside him. However, there was no change in Shen Shi’s expression. He seemed to be asking casually. After listening, he did not think about it.

Back in Qingyu Fair, Shen Shi did not conceal anything from Sun You. When Sun You heard that he was going to ask Senior Brother Su He about his cultivation, he was somewhat concerned. He asked a few more questions. After knowing about Shen Shi’s cultivation last night, a trace of worry appeared on his face. After thinking for a while, he said to Shen Shi, “You have some doubts about your cultivation. It’s not ordinary. I don’t think it would be particularly appropriate to ask Senior Brother Su He.” After pausing for a moment, he pulled Shen Shi and said, “Well, come with me.”
Shen Shiqi said, “What, where are you going?”
Sun You turned around and chuckled with a mysterious expression. “Since I want to ask about my cultivation doubts, I know one of the brightest senior brothers on this island.”
Shen Shi still wanted to ask a few more questions, but he was pulled by Sun You to walk very quickly. He turned left and right on the Green Fish Market, circled a small path, and arrived at a secluded place. He stood in front of a large courtyard house.
On the plaque at the entrance, there were three words written: “Xuan Ritang”.
Shen Shi was shocked. He looked at Sun You in shock and said, “Are you talking about Senior Brother Wang Gen?”
Sun You smiled proudly and said, “Exactly. Anyway, Senior Brother Wang has already said that if there are any unclear doubts in our daily cultivation, if Senior Brother Supervisor is unable to answer them, we can also come and ask him. Aren’t we here now?”
As he pulled Shen Shi inside, Shen Shi felt a little nervous. To be honest, Wang Gen was not angry when he received all the rookies. Although he did not speak much among these disciples, his prestige was not low. Therefore, Shen Shi had never thought of coming directly to consult this Senior Brother Wang at the beginning.
However, looking at Sun You’s familiar appearance, Shen Shi couldn’t help but ask, “What, do you know this Senior Brother Wang as well?”
“He is under Elder Sun Mingyang, one of the Five Great Elders of the Soaring Firmament Sect. That Elder Sun is my grandfather,” Young Friend Sun said in a low voice.
Shen Shi paused for a moment. When he looked at Young Master Sun again, his eyes were already very different. Young Master Sun felt somewhat guilty when he saw him. He chuckled dryly and said, “I didn’t tell you before because I thought that this matter wasn’t really that great. It’s meaningless even if I said it.”
Shen Shi smiled and nodded, “Thank you very much.”
Young friend Sun laughed heartily and continued to walk forward with him.
Xuan Ritang looked quiet, but as the two of them entered, a disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect appeared to stop them. Young Friend Sun was not polite either. He went forward and announced his identity. Obviously, the Sun Clan’s name was still useful. After notifying the child, he quickly came out and said that Senior Brother Wang was welcome.
The two of them were brought into a quiet room in the back room. When they entered, they saw Wang Gen sitting cross-legged on a futon in the room. A thin incense burned in the quiet room and smoke curled up gently. A refreshing fragrance came from the room.
Wang Gen opened his eyes and looked at the two of them. Then, his gaze fell on Sun You. He nodded and said, “Sit down.”
Although Young Friend Sun’s expression was relaxed when he spoke to Shen Shi outside, However, in front of Senior Brother Wang Gen, he couldn’t help but be a little reserved. His expression was clearly filled with respect. He immediately pulled Shen Shi to sit on the prayer mat in front of Wang Gen. Wang Gen’s gaze turned slightly and paused for a moment on Shen Shi’s face beside Sun You. Then, he said, “What are you two looking for me for?”
Sun You stabbed Shen Shi. Shen Shi took a deep breath and told Wang Gen about the intense pain he had encountered while cultivating last night. Finally, he sincerely said, “Senior Brother, I really don’t know if this is the wrong path to cultivate. Other than mistakes, I want to ask Senior Brother Wang to give me some pointers.”
At this moment, the three of them were alone. Wang Gen’s expression seemed to be warmer than usual in front of everyone. Hearing this, he pondered slightly and flicked his finger on the back of his other hand, as if he was considering it.
