Killing God - Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Intentional Action
“An alchemist is really a pile of money …”

Inside the cave, Shen Shi painfully took out a bag. From time to time, there was a crisp sound coming from the bag. Then, he handed it to Zhong Qinglu and said, “Take it, eighty spirit crystals.”

A year later, perhaps because of that secret deal, the two of them had been in constant contact. Zhong Qinglu’s attitude towards Shen Shi had long since disappeared from her arrogance. She seemed to be much warmer. Looking at her expression, she frowned slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed and uneasy.

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, then raised her head and glanced at Shen Shi, saying, “Why don’t we wait a bit longer? Or should I start refining the Origin Cultivation Pill after we’ve all reached the Origin Condensation Realm and become direct disciples?”

Shen Shi glanced at her and said, “What’s wrong?”

Zhong Qinglu lowered her head slightly and sighed, “It’s not like you don’t know. No matter who is the most talented person in pill refining, when they obtain a new pill formula and start refining a new spirit medicine, they will always be …”

She didn’t say anything else, but she clearly understood what she meant. In the first few days of refining a new spirit pill like the Origin Cultivation Pill, she must have made mistakes most of the time. This was also the only path that all alchemists had to take. Originally, alchemists had used countless spirit crystals and unyielding tenacity to pile it up.

The problem was, this time, it wasn’t the Qi Nourishing Pill anymore, The cost of refining the Origin Strengthening Pill was as high as eighty spirit crystals. Even Zhong Qinglu, who came from a wealthy and wealthy aristocratic family, felt a little frightened. This consumption was truly too great for a disciple of the Qi Refining Realm like them on Bluefish Island. Only after reaching the Origin Condensation Realm would she be able to barely survive.

In fact, Zhong Qinglu and Shen Shi had already inquired about it. A second-grade spirit pill like the Origin Cultivation Pill, Within the Lingxiao Sect Pill Hall, they were usually only taught to Origin Condensation Realm disciples, However, the Pill Hall taught the pill recipe, It was not based on the cultivation of the disciples of the sect, but on their advancement in alchemy, Previous rookie disciples had never mastered the refining of Qi Nourishing Pills in five years, Since he had to concentrate on refining pills, he would definitely not be able to earn a large amount of spirit crystals to support himself in refining pills regardless of cost. Without financial support, without the precious experience gained on the basis of a large number of failed pill refinements, he would not be able to achieve anything in the short term.

Hence, Zhong Qinglu was honestly the biggest gain of the Pill Hall amongst the rookies in more than a hundred years. It was also the first time in a hundred years that the Pill Hall had exceptionally taught a disciple a new pill recipe for the Origin Cultivation Pill during the Qi Refining Realm.

Shen Shi remained silent for a long time. In the end, he shook his head and said, “Didn’t the two of us plan to make you faster? I think you still need to continue refining the Origin Cultivation Pill. In the future, there will be at least a year or more before the two of us break through to the Origin Condensation Realm. This period of time will be a critical juncture for you to take a step faster than the others.”

He smiled and said, “Think about what would happen if you were already proficient in refining a Tier 2 pill like the Origin Cultivation Pill when you went to Jinhong Mountain in the future. I think all the elders in the Pill Hall would rush over and cry out for help, wanting to snatch you, a rare pill refining genius in hundreds of years, as their personal disciple.”

Zhong Qinglu pursed her lips slightly and hesitated to say anything. Although there was a look of yearning on her face, her gaze was still clear. She still landed on Shen Shi. After a while, she whispered, “But I … I really can’t earn this spirit crystal myself. Even if I earn it, I can only refine it a few times.”

Shen Shi took a deep breath and smiled, “Isn’t there still me?”

Zhong Qinglu was silent. After a while, she said, “Shen Shi, why do you think so highly of me?”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Didn’t I tell you before that there would be cheap elixirs to eat in the future? Second, I wanted to curry favor with you, the future great alchemist, in advance.”

Zhong Qinglu stared deeply at him, then slowly nodded without saying anything else.

After walking out of Zhong Qinglu’s cave, Shen Shi’s face turned bitter and he looked a little worried. I wonder if it’s because of the special feelings of the young man, In front of girls, especially beautiful girls, they were usually unwilling to admit defeat because of embarrassment. Thus, Shen Shi appeared confident in Zhong Qinglu’s cave residence just now. Actually, when he thought about the consumption of eighty spirit crystals in refining pills and how many times he had used them, Shen Shi’s scalp felt numb.

The spirit crystals he needed for his own cultivation, There was also this secret deal to support Zhong Qinglu’s pill refining spirit crystals. It was his two biggest consumption of spirit crystals. Originally, there was a very heavy debt. He had to hand over five talismans to the Five Elements Hall’s Zhang Yihui every month. However, due to the miraculous effects of the Heart Cleansing Curse, he had unexpectedly succeeded in using the talisman. He had paid back this debt a few days ago, which was considered a great fortune among misfortunes.

At this moment, Shen Shi, After realizing that he seemed to be different from the others in terms of the Five Elements Spell and Talisman, At the same time, it was also due to the heavy pressure of spirit crystals. Although Qi Refining Realm cultivators did not need and should not cultivate too many Five Elements Techniques according to common sense, Shen Shi still unconsciously walked further and further down the rugged and destined path of Five Elements Techniques out of interest and also in order to earn more spirit crystals.

The current him, He had already gone to the Five Elements Hall several times to purchase new spells, Now that he had mastered as many as six Tier 1 Five Elements spells, Apart from the earliest water archery, There were also Fireball, Fire Barrier, Rock Piercing, Earth Settling, and Wind Jie spells. The Water Arrow, Fireball, and Rock Piercing spells belonged to the Water, Fire, and Earth Elements. They were the most famous and common of the Five Elements spells. As for Fire Barrier, Earth Settling, and Wind Jie spells, they were all auxiliary spells that Senior Brother Zhang Yihui had mentioned when explaining them.

After the Fire Barrier Technique was cast, there would be a flame shield shaped like a fire shield protecting itself, which could add a little bit of protection force to it. The Earth Sinking Technique would slow the enemy down and slow their movements. The Wind Swift Technique would allow them or their friends to move faster. The wind followed the wood. This technique was a wood-type spell among the five elements, and it was also quite useful.

These six Tier 1 spells were among the ten spells recorded in the book Fu Little Description given to him by Zhang Yihui that day. Thus, after proficiently mastering these Five Elements spells, Shen Shi naturally made the corresponding talismans. Moreover, due to his exceptionally high success rate in making talismans, he gradually had more talismans in hand. Although there were shops in Qingyu Island that purchased talismans, including Zhang Yihui, who would also sell spirit crystals to collect talismans, Shen Shi did not intend to sell the talismans he had in hand.

This was because he had discovered that as long as he used these talismans appropriately, the spiritual materials he obtained from dealing with demonic beasts on the demonic island would actually be higher.

Day after day, he spent most of his time making talismans, apart from cultivating daily and going to the Demon Island to do demon hunting missions. This was a very boring job, but Shen Shi had always been doing it quietly and calmly. The endurance and patience that he had tempered from drawing runes every day from childhood to adulthood had finally manifested itself at this moment.

The number of talismans in his possession continued to slowly increase. A year later, Shen Shi’s Little Ruyi Ring had almost reached its expiry date, so he went to buy two more.

One left hand, one right hand; He placed spirit materials in his left hand, and the little Ruyi Ring in his right hand was filled with talismans, ready to be used at any time.

Since autumn and winter came, the time on the island was somewhat slow to the point of being dull, and some of it was extremely fast to the point of being extremely nervous. Seeing that the fifth year was about to arrive, the aura on Qingyu Island began to reveal a depressing and dull atmosphere.

The large ship heading for the Demon Island had started to slowly become lively recently. The reason was that among the newly advanced disciples who had reached the high-level Qi Refining Realm, many had also taken a fancy to this shortcut to obtain spirit crystals. Although it was risky, it was still within the scope of their endurance.

In addition to the old people who had already returned, the current number of people on the ship was about twenty at a time. They had basically returned to their original peak.

Among the crowd, the two of them, who had persisted for a long time, sat side by side at one end of the corner. Looking at their fellow disciples chatting together on the deck in twos and threes, their expressions were a little strange.

“I didn’t expect that there would be so many courageous people.” Gan Ze said first.

Shen Shi nodded. His gaze swept across the crowd. There were quite a few rookies inside, but they had all seen them on the island in the past. In this year, these talented youths had cultivated to the high-level Qi Refining Realm, and they had no fear of challenging the dangerous Demon Island.

After a while, Gan Ze withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Shi. Shen Shi sensed it and turned to look at him, a little puzzled. “What’s wrong?” He said.

Gan Ze was silent for a moment. He shook his head and sighed, “These fellow disciples of the same sect as us only had the courage to come to Demon Island after reaching the high-level Qi Refining Realm. Furthermore, according to what I said, they were at least three people who went together to hunt demon beasts.” I didn’t feel anything before, but now I think about it. Back then, when only you were an Intermediate Qi Refining Realm cultivator, you dared to come to Demon Island. Furthermore, from then on until now, you have been alone against demon beasts. “He took a deep look at Shen Shi and said sternly,

“I think you’re much stronger than them.”

Shen Shi met Gan Ze’s gaze. He only felt that although his gaze was gentle, However, his gaze was not as profound as that of a sixteen-year-old youth. For a moment, he felt a little fear. However, he had always been cautious and calm. He did not show any signs of being careless. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “There are so many Senior Brothers on this ship, including you, who have cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm much earlier than me. I do not deserve your praise.”

Gan Ze smiled and glanced at the deck. The corner of his mouth curled into a hint of pride as he said indifferently, “What’s the difference between the speed of cultivation? What does it matter? The one who can truly gain the upper hand in a life-and-death battle is true strength. True Dao Cultivation.”

Hearing this, Shen Shi smiled without saying anything, and Gan Ze did not continue to say anything.

Just like that, the ship sailed smoothly all the way to Demon Island. One boat after another got off the ship and walked along the seawall to Demon Island. As usual, Gan Ze was still the first to enter the depths of the forest alone. The rest of them traveled together in twos and threes. Most of them entered the dense forest of Demon Island. A few new disciples might want to be careful, but they chose the same route as Shen Shi and walked along the coastline on the beaches outside Demon Island in search of prey.

In the end, Shen Shi was the only one left. He looked at the distant beach, then at the deep forest in front of him. He stood silently for a long time, and finally touched the two small Ruyi rings on his left and right hands, as well as the pockets that were dry and thirsty and lacking spirit crystals.

Spirit crystals aren’t enough …

Shen Shi thought silently. Then, he raised his head and looked at the huge island in front of him, as well as the densely forested mountain range. In the distance, a few mournful roars of beasts came from the depths of the Demon Island, echoing in the sea and sky.

I am indeed prescient. I saw that this Brazilian was unreliable half a month ago, but losing like this is too tragic …
