Killing God - Chapter 58

Chapter 58
“After you and Zhong Qingzhu disappeared that day, Senior Brother Wang Gen immediately launched a manpower search throughout the island. However, he failed to find you for three whole days. Someone advised Senior Brother Wang to forget about it. To be honest, even I thought that the two of you were probably swept away by the big waves, and I was dejected for a while. ”

However, Senior Brother Wang didn’t know why, but he stood alone and insisted on searching. Everyone didn’t dare to disobey his intentions, so they searched for a few more days. In the end, they searched until the seventh day, but still haven’t seen any trace of you. All of the senior brothers and sisters on the island couldn’t stand it anymore, and rumors spread everywhere. I saw Senior Brother Wang’s gloomy face all those days. Sigh … “Young friend Sun shook his head and glanced at Shen Shi.

“On the eighth day, Senior Brother Wang was forced to suspend the search. Everyone thought that even he had given up. Honestly, even I was about to give up at that time. However, no one expected that he would go straight to the Formation Hall on the Golden Rainbow Mountain on the ninth day after being locked up in Xuan Ri Hall for a day. I don’t know what he did, but he actually told Elder Mo, who is in charge of the Formation Hall, to personally set up the Seven Treasures Pouch Rate Formation on our Qingyu Island, which is the light shield you saw that day. ”

Shen Shi did not expect that so many things had happened to him in the past few days when he disappeared. Especially the usually dignified and resolute Senior Brother Wang. It could be said that he was saved only by Wang Gen’s persistence. He couldn’t help but feel grateful. He said, “Senior Brother Wang, I really don’t know how I can repay you for saving me like this.”

“Forget it. We are just beginning to cultivate. What can we give him in return? Let’s talk about it later when we have a chance.” Sun You smiled.

Shen Shi nodded. He thought so, Then, he recalled the magical light shield he saw the day before yesterday, which was the Seven Treasures Pouch Rate Formation that Sun You had mentioned. All sorts of divine abilities and wonders were truly astonishing. It was truly an immortal technique. He couldn’t help but ask Sun You, “What kind of powerful method is that Seven Treasures Pouch Rate Formation? It was actually able to find us trapped under the precipice?”

Sun You scratched his head in confusion and said, “I heard that this formation is an extremely brilliant divine ability. It is also a very famous formation in the formation hall. However, I am unable to tell what exactly is going on.” However, I do know that after Senior Brother Wang Gen begged Elder Mo, it took him an entire day to set up this formation in Qingyu Island. During this time, he even invited dozens of direct disciples from the formation hall to come down and help. ”

Shen Shi couldn’t help but be a little speechless, “Obedient, what a big battle …”

Friend Sun smiled and said, “Who says that’s not true? Furthermore, if this formation is to cover the entire island, setting up the formation will take quite a bit of effort.” Didn’t you see that when Elder Mo led the Senior Brothers of the Array Hall to set up the formation on Bluefish Island that day, all sorts of array flags, talismans, spirit crystals, and many other spirit materials that I couldn’t even describe were sprinkled out like they didn’t cost money. It took a whole day for them to set up the formation properly. At that time, everyone on the island was dumbfounded. Me too … “At this point, Friend Sun sighed and said,” To be honest, I was really worried about Senior Brother Wang at that time. If such a big battle were to end in vain, I’m afraid his reputation in the sect would plummet. ”

Shen Shi fell silent. After he was saved, Wang Gen also came to see him once. However, after asking him about his disappearance in detail, he didn’t see anything special. In the end, he only told him to rest properly before leaving. He couldn’t tell that Senior Brother Wang had actually done so much to save him and Zhong Qingzhu.

But at this moment, In the depths of Shen Shi’s heart, an uncontrollable thought arose. He was filled with doubt. This Senior Brother Wang had used so much manpower and material resources, and he didn’t hesitate to invite a sect elder to set up this formation that was obviously extremely costly. The purpose was to save the two Little Qi Refining Junior Brothers and Little Junior Sisters who had little hope of surviving. Why on earth was this?

When Shen Shi recalled the past, he really didn’t feel that he had a value worthy of Senior Brother Wang Gen’s diligence. Or could it be because of Zhong Qingzhu?

Shen Shi wasn’t the only one wondering whether it was worth it to spend so much manpower and material resources and even compensate for the fact that it might be a great favor to invite the sect elders to take action. Even the person who had been saved by him was secretly confused while feeling grateful. In the eyes of others, of course, it was also difficult to understand.

On Bluefish Island, countless Ling Xiao Sect disciples who had experienced this scene were discussing this matter in private. Even in the Ling Xiao Sect and Golden Rainbow Mountain, there were also many criticisms coming from the peaceful Immortal Clan’s scenic spots.

Wang Gen, who was ranked as one of the candidates for the next generation of Sect Leader of the Three Swords of Ling Xiao, stood at the forefront of the limelight during this period of time, and his fame even surpassed the others. Although there were many criticisms, Especially when he first presided over Blue Fish Island when a rookie disciple was lost in the storm and he couldn’t find him for many days, Questions arose about Ling Xiao Sect’s ability. There were even rumors that someone in the Council of Elders had suggested replacing him. However, when the matter reached the end, Wang Gen invited Elder Mo and surprisingly found the two rookie disciples. Immediately, the rumors changed.

Incompetence had become decisiveness in handling matters, incompetence in procrastination had become tenacity, and the independent opinions of the crowd were full of wisdom and praise. It was said that even Sect Leader Huaiyuan had praised him meaningfully on a certain occasion.

Wang Gen this child, is not the thing in the pool also.

④

All sorts of surging winds and clouds in the Ling Xiao Sect, or the strange waves and clouds, were all above the 10,000 feet Immortal Mountain. To the tiny Bluefish Island at the foot of the mountain, it seemed to be too far away.

So after that commotion, The Qingyu Island quickly regained its calm, After all, practically everyone on this island had to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate again. Only by diligently cultivating, breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm, leaving Qingyu Island, climbing the Golden Rainbow Immortal Mountain at the Origin Condensation Realm, would those things, or another Immortal Realm, reveal some clues to them.

As the two people involved in the disappearance of Canghai Storm, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were lucky enough to escape death. Afterwards, Wang Gen and the others personally visited the cave at Caibei Beach. The scenes inside, including the acupoints under the cave leading to the cliff-top heavenly pit, confirmed their claims one by one. This matter came to an end and gradually ceased to be mentioned.

The storm came and went, and the days passed quietly. Cultivating, questing, earning spirit crystals, and then continuing to cultivate. Everything on Qingyu Island seemed to have returned to its original state. Of course, there were a few things that had changed from the past.

Shen Shi and Sun You had very different backgrounds, but their temperaments were similar. They had gradually become good friends who talked about almost everything.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu had experienced the scene of life and death together in the storm, so they naturally became familiar with each other. Normally, when they met and greeted each other, the delicate and beautiful girl would always wave and smile at him. Occasionally, when there was no one around, she would secretly call him “Little Stone”.

Shen Shi was still secretly cultivating the Heart Cleansing Curse. Cultivating twice a day had doubled his consumption of spirit crystals, and his desire to earn spirit crystals was growing. In the words of his good friend and neighbor Sun You, why did this fellow become more and more wealthy after walking out of hell once?

There were also a few unlucky people. One of them was called Su He. All of the Qi Refining disciples on the island who were in charge of supervising Senior Brother were fine. Only Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, who were under his name, had a major event. As a result, he was tragically eliminated by Senior Brother Wang Gen. Of course, the rewards he had previously given for supervising were also taken away.

In the end, there was the most unlucky person, but Shen Shi, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu, and most other people didn’t know about him at all. He could be considered one of their senior brothers. Because Storm Vastsea had posted a warning notice that day, and the result was that things weren’t done well, Afterwards, Wang Gen investigated. The others were fine. Only this disciple named Lin Hu was heavily punished by Wang Gen. All of his existing duties were eliminated, and he was directly punished to work as a guard in the “Demon Catching Cave” that was known to be the hardest, most exhausting, most boring, and also the least rewarding of the six Bluefish Islands.

④

At the critical moment of life and death, the turbulent waves that resembled the storms of the ocean were enough to make one lose their souls. However, as time passed, they gradually became memories. In their memories, they quietly turned into memories that could be remembered.

The Qingyu Island was like a paradise. Everything was so peaceful. Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu returned to their quiet lives and cultivated hard or silently towards the Dao of Immortal Cultivation in their dreams.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

The water in White Fish Bay was still so clear and gentle. The sky was also the same blue. The sea breeze was strong, and the seabirds soared. Apart from the occasional storms that would occasionally come in the spring and summer, everything here was so peaceful and beautiful.

In the past three years, the youths had grown taller and taller.

Twelve-year-olds had already turned into fifteen-year-olds. As a result of constantly absorbing spiritual energy from spirit crystals, these tender and fragile youths who had just entered the island were now fully accustomed to the role of cultivators. At the same time, their physical bodies had also been tempered and tempered by spiritual energy, gradually becoming tough and powerful.

At the same time, the young girls who had not yet grown up like bean sprouts gradually bloomed like flowers after these three years. They exuded an increasingly beautiful appearance. Their bodies gradually grew exquisite and their appearances became even more delicate, becoming a beautiful scenery on Qingyu Island.

However, these were only superficial things. Under the sect, the most important and fundamental thing for cultivators was to cultivate in the end.

Three years ago, almost all of the teenagers entered the sect at the same time. After these three years, they gradually began to distinguish between high and low on the path of cultivation.

Of the 400 plus rookie disciples, more than 70% were still trapped at the Qi Refining Realm beginner stage. They were still unable to break through to the Intermediate realm in three years. The difficulty of cultivating was finally like a ferocious beast, mercilessly and coldly placed in front of them.

There were another hundred or so people who gradually revealed their talent in cultivation. In these three years, they gradually broke through and cultivated to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm. According to what Lingxiao Sect had always said, if a disciple cultivated to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm in three years, his talent in cultivation could be considered to be at least above average, and there was great hope for him to take another step forward. On this basis, if he could cultivate to the high level of the Qi Refining Realm in the next two years, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the Origin Condensation Realm in the future.

If a disciple was lucky enough to break through the Qi Refining Realm to the Yuan Condensation Realm within five years, he would have always been valued by Lingxiao Sect. Other than that, the three most famous swords in the sect were all outstanding disciples who had directly cultivated to the Yuan Condensation Realm during the first five years of the sect.

However, in the third year, everyone in Qingyu Island, including the direct disciples led by Wang Gen, only saw one person.

A true genius who had directly cultivated to a high-level Qi Refining Realm in his third year on the island. Even in the past hundred years, he had never seen such a genius in Lingxiao Sect. For a time, he could be said to have caused a sensation in the entire sect.

This person’s name was Gan Ze.

Chapter 64

May 7th, clear.

Early in the morning, when the morning sun rose from the sea level, the ten thousand zhang golden light reflected the seawater to a magnificent crimson color. There were also a few dawn clouds in the horizon, accompanied by the fresh sea breeze, causing Shen Shi who walked out of the cave to be unable to help but feel his chest widen and stretch his waist.

Almost at the same time, a rumbling sound came from behind him. Following a burst of footsteps, a familiar voice with a lazy tone walked to his side and yawned. “Good morning.”

Shen Shi turned to look at his neighbor and smiled, “I don’t understand. We’ve cultivated for three years. Logically speaking, after cultivating, we’ll only be tired for a moment at most. After meditating for a moment, we’ll recover. Why do you look like you don’t sleep well every morning?”

Young friend Sun rolled his eyes and said angrily, “I serve those Spirit Beast Grandpa all day long. I’m tired.”

Shen Shi laughed heartily and shook his head.

Although Young Friend Sun said that he was tired, his expression was slightly sleepy, but his entire body looked extremely good. After all, in these three years, he had already cultivated to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm. His physical body was strong and healthy, far from being comparable to when he first entered the sect.

Shen Shi was one of the lucky and unlucky cultivators in the surrounding circles. Under his diligent cultivation, Shen Shi had already cultivated to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm, which could be considered a pleasant surprise for him. Apart from that, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu, and that little fatty Zhong Qinglu were also talented, and they had all reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm at the same time. Among the remaining unlucky people, He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang had become Brother Nian and Sister Nian. They were still trapped in the Qi Refining Realm elementary stage, which made them very depressed and annoyed. Perhaps it was also because of this that the relationship between the two of them had improved a lot recently.

Back then, there were more than 400 rookies who entered the island and joined the sect, Up until now, there were still more than 70%, that is, more than 280 people, who were still only at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, Shen Shi, Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, and Zhong Qingzhu had both reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Although they were far from being compared to Lingxiao Sect, who was known as Gan Ze’s number one genius in a hundred years, four of them were already considered quite outstanding in this round of rookie disciples.

Speaking of which, of the ten people under Senior Brother Su He’s supervision, The rest of them looked at their talent. They were still at the beginner Qi Refining Realm, and they rarely interacted with Shen Shi, Sun You, and the others. However, at least four of these ten people had already reached the intermediate Qi Refining Realm, which was more likely than all the disciples on the island. It could be considered a merit of Senior Brother Su He.

However, Senior Brother Su He was truly unlucky. Three years ago, the incident of the Vastsea Storm angered Senior Brother Wang Gen, who was in charge of the affairs of Bluefish Island. After investigating, he was relieved of this responsibility. Otherwise, Senior Brother Su might even receive some rewards now.

Sometimes, when they were chatting, Shen Shi, Sun You, including Zhong Qingzhu, He Xiaomei, and the others even talked about this Senior Brother Su He, and they always sighed with admiration that this Senior Brother was unlucky.

However, at this moment, both Shen Shi and Sun You seemed to be in a good mood, so they naturally wouldn’t think of anything bad. Sun You said to Shen Shi, “Are you ready?”

Shen Shi nodded, but his face was clearly filled with heartache. He curled his lips and said, “One spell requires three spirit crystals, which is the lowest rank one five element spell. Aren’t these senior brothers in the spell hall too greedy for money?”

Sun You shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, “There’s nothing you can do. If you’re outside the island, you might be able to go to the shops of the Divine Immortal Association to buy some bargains. However, there’s only one place in Qingyu Island where you can learn the Five Elements Technique.”

As he spoke, he patted Shen Shi’s shoulder and comforted him, “Forget it. In any case, under the Origin Condensation Realm, we can only learn one Five Elements Technique. In the future, when we reach the Origin Condensation Realm, there will be countless powerful and easy-to-learn Dao Techniques waiting for us. Who would care about these complicated and weak Five Elements Techniques?”

Shen Shi frowned and said thoughtfully, “I’ve always wanted to ask you, why did you learn a Five Elements Technique?”

“What about you?”

Shen Shi shrugged and said, “In order to earn spirit crystals.”

‘”How did you earn it? Didn’t you peel shrimps in Red Clam Village for three years and always take the Red Clam’s spirit crystals with you?” Said Sun You.

Shen Shi said angrily, “Don’t mention it. Originally, things were good there. As long as I wasn’t afraid of dirty blood, I would be able to earn a Spirit Crystal in almost five days. I barely managed to get through it. It’s enough for me to cultivate.” However, the old man from the Red Clam Village had gone crazy recently. He said nonsense that there was a strange cold current in the sea area outside Bluefish Island recently, chasing away more than half of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp that had always liked the heat and cold. Therefore, he directly doubled the original price of a hundred shrimp for a spirit crystal. He wanted me to kill 200 shrimp to get a spirit crystal. ”

Friend Sun was stunned for a moment and said, “Is there any relationship between these two things?”

Shen Shi said, “That’s right. It doesn’t matter at all. Anyway, that’s what he did. He angered me half to death. However, with the spirit crystal in his hands, I have no choice but to think about whether there are other ways to earn spirit crystals. Oh right, you haven’t said why you want to learn the Five Elements Technique yet.”

“Uh, I was trying to defend myself.” Sun You said, “You know, when we were in the Qi Refining Realm, there were practically no divine passage techniques that we could learn. Normally, all cultivators in the world would learn one or two Five Elements Techniques at this time.”

Shen Shi glanced at him and said, “Cultivate properly on this Qingyu Island. No one will harm you, right? Why should you consider defending yourself?”

Young Friend Sun smiled. His eyes seemed to be drifting, and he said, “Anyway … there’s no harm in it.”

Shen Shi shrugged and said, “That’s true.”

Sun You suddenly remembered something and smiled, “Right, you said that you wanted to learn the Five Elements Technique just now to earn spirit crystals. Could it be that you have some mysterious and good method? Quickly tell me, you can’t let me earn this capital back.”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “What’s so mysterious about this? It was written on the task board in the White Crane Hall. It’s just that you’re lazy and don’t want to see it.”

Young Friend Sun was stunned. He thought back for a moment, but he still didn’t recall any results. He said, “What is it?”

“Two things.” Shen Shi stretched out two fingers and bent one before saying, “First, hunting demons.”

Young friend Sun’s eyes lit up. He said thoughtfully, “So you’re talking about a mission on the green board. It’s said that the ‘Demon Catching Cave’ is located on the Fifth Island of Green Fish. There are three levels in the cave, each with different spirit creatures. Among them, there are spirit materials that can be used to refine pills and set up formations. Furthermore, they are all weak demons. As long as they have some abilities, they will be able to defeat them.” “Eh? This mission isn’t bad. Furthermore, it’s from the green board. There should be more spirit crystals rewarded than the white board.”

Shen Shi smiled but didn’t say anything. Sun You smiled and said, “Big brother, since you’ve said it, let’s wait until we’ve mastered the Five Elements Technique. Let’s go together.”

Shen Shi nodded his head and said, “Alright, the two of them also have a care.”

“Then what about the second thing you said just now?”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, “Fu Lu, I heard that the hall has been setting up missions related to Fu Lu. The reward is not bad, but if you want to make Fu Lu, you must first learn the Five Elements Technique. Therefore, I was thinking of learning it first. Perhaps I can earn some spirit crystals from the hall in the future.”

Sun You widened his eyes and said, “You really are obsessed with money. You even want to earn spirit crystals from the entrance of the Hall of Arts, which is so stingy and greedy that the entire sect is famous for it!”

Shen Shi sighed and said, “There’s no other way. Isn’t this cultivation with the Spirit Lack Crystal?”

Young Friend Sun sneered and disdained his words. The two of them laughed for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they walked towards the Bluefish Market and prepared to go to the Five Elements Palace, the building of the Art Hall on Bluefish Island.

As he walked, Young Friend Sun suddenly frowned slightly. His heart moved. He couldn’t help but secretly glance at Shen Shi beside him. Shen Shi noticed his gaze and smiled, “What’s wrong?”

Sun You hesitated for a moment and shook his head with a smile. “I feel a little distressed for the three spirit crystals that will be spent later.”

Shen Shi patted his shoulder and smiled, “It’s fine. In the future, we’ll use the techniques we learned to earn the spirit crystals back!”

Sun You smiled and nodded. However, an unexplained thought arose in his heart. The amount of spirit crystals consumed in cultivating at the Qi Refining Stage Intermediate Stage was approximately one per ten days. According to the speed at which Shen Shi had earned spirit crystals in the Red Clam Village, he should be relatively well off. Why did he look so embarrassed?

④

The Five Elements Palace was located in the Green Fish Conglomeration, about ten zhang away from the west side of White Crane Hall. It was considered to be a neighbor. However, compared to the bustling scene of the White Crane Hall’s daily flow of people, the Five Elements Hall beneath the hall echoed the words Shen Shi taught Miss Hai Xing that day-Menkeluo Que.

Generally speaking, Qi Refining Realm cultivators were at the beginner realm, They were only absorbing spiritual energy from spirit crystals to increase their cultivation. However, because the spiritual energy in their bodies was weak, and the Five Elements Technique was essentially a Dao Technique that resonated with the five elements of heaven and earth, allowing them to execute various strange techniques. Therefore, at the beginner realm, Qi Refining Realm cultivators were generally unable to learn the Five Elements Technique.

Only by cultivating to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm, At this time, the spiritual energy in the cultivators’ bodies had already accumulated to a considerable extent. They could barely start to use the Five Elements Technique. At the same time, because cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm did not have any Dao Technique divine abilities to cultivate, let alone those magic treasures, choosing one or two Five Elements Technique was the choice of the vast majority of cultivators at this stage.

However, it was well known that the Five Elements Technique was known for its complexity and difficulty since ancient times. A mere low-level First Grade technique had little power, but it was comparable in difficulty to some ordinary Dao Techniques after the Origin Condensation Realm. It was truly a technique with extremely poor performance-price ratio. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was no other choice, most cultivators wouldn’t have cultivated the Five Elements Technique.

In fact, apart from the wandering loose cultivators who often cultivated the Five Elements Technique in Jianghu, many disciples of some famous sects would not waste their energy cultivating this technique when they were in the Qi Refining Realm. Even in Qingyu Island, there were many mid-level Qi Refining Realm disciples who did not intend to learn the Five Elements Technique.

When Shen Shi and Sun You arrived outside the Five Elements Hall, they saw that the White Crane Hall was more than ten zhang away. Looking around, it seemed that there were only the two of them. They couldn’t help but smile bitterly at each other.

Shaking his head, Shen Shi and Sun You walked in together. Although the business of the Five Elements Palace looked light, it was still quite spacious and spacious. It looked very dignified. Just that gate alone was about three meters tall.

Shen Shi had just stepped over the threshold when he was suddenly stunned. He looked at a place in front of the hall and was shocked. He said in shock, “Qing … Junior Sister Zhong, why are you here?”
