Chapter 2: Bloodscale Fruit
The girl Huaichun paid attention to Shen Qingshu's every word and deed, and every move.
In the courtyard of the Li family, senior sister Yin Li is not good at socializing, and she will close the door when she returns to the guest room, at this moment, under Li Lianshan's deliberate arrangement, there are only two people in this beautiful garden, Shen Qingshu and Li Yuxiu.
The careful Li Yuxiu saw that since Cao An rejected the senior brother, he had been looking unhappy.
"Senior brother, is Yanshi really that important?"
"Actually, Xiu'er, as long as you stay in the sect for a few more days, you will also understand that an excellent and outstanding Yanshi can even compare his deterrence and strength to a sect."
Li Yuxiu was dumbfounded, "This, how is it possible?" ”
"You should have heard of the Great River Sect, back then, the Great River Sect and our Baiyun Sect were the two overlords of Canglan Mansion, but because they offended a fifth-level Yan Master, the entire sect was destroyed overnight."
"However, isn't our Baiyun Sect a great master of the sixth realm of martial arts? That Great River Sect can be on a par with us, and there must be one, a fifth-level Yan Master, even if his own martial arts strength corresponds to it, is only a fifth-level master......"
Shen Qing had a palpitating color, "How could I lie to you, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't imagine that kind of situation, tens of thousands of puppets are like a beast tide, and the black pressure is pouring up on the Great River Sect, you know, those are all puppets made by a fifth-level Yanshi that are comparable to the masters of the fifth scene, how can the Great River Sect resist it?" ”
"The puppet will not be afraid of life and death, as long as the core is not completely destroyed, it can fight until it is wiped out, and the sect master of the Great River Sect will be besieged by the puppet until he dies of exhaustion."
Li Yuxiu is not a fool, and when he says this, it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy of that battle.
Shen Qingshu's tone changed, "Of course, not all Yanshi can become such an existence, just like us pure martial artists, some people can become the overlord of the sect, and some people can only stay in one or two scenes for the rest of their lives, not much stronger than ordinary people." ”
"If you can make him a slave of Senior Brother, will it be beneficial to Senior Brother?"
Shen Qingshu smiled proudly, "It's just icing on the cake, after all, being able to have a Yanshi as a slave is a symbol of identity and status, just like a sword with a hero." ”
Li Yuxiu's expression was cheerful, "I don't care about that, as long as I know that this is beneficial to Senior Brother, this puppet is for you, Senior Brother, leave the rest to me, when we leave Chiba Town, I will make him willing to become Senior Brother's slave." ”
Li Yuxiu is full of confidence in this matter, because Cao An has never rejected her, and she believes that as long as she speaks, this matter should also develop according to her own wishes.
Shen Qingshu showed a somewhat strange smile: "Does he like you?" ”
Li Yuxiu's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she waved her hand again and again, panicking to explain clearly. "Senior brother, I don't mean that to him at all, it's his own affection, I ......"
"I know that the ignorant are fearless, but just an ordinary person who is a little arrogant, and when he becomes my slave and enters the White Cloud Sect, he will understand the gap between him and you and me, and at that time, he will respect us as gods, and dare not think about it anymore."
Li Yuxiu nodded heavily, a slight flush appeared on her face, "I understand." ”
Shen Qingshu stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the top of Li Yuxiu's head, "You can always help me when I need it." ”
This sentence completely made the girl in front of him fall.
"But Yuxiu has helped me so much, this puppet brother doesn't want it, you put it away yourself, and after you confess the Lord with blood, put it in a small bag with you, at a critical moment, maybe it can save your life."
Shen Qingshu couldn't look down on this puppet, although he couldn't tell the level of the puppet, but looking at the name of the puppet, he didn't know it at all, and he didn't expect it to be a powerful puppet, the number was small, and the chicken ribs were average.
"Thank you, senior brother, wait for my good news." After speaking, Li Yuxiu walked out of the courtyard with a happy face.
Not long after Li Yuxiu left, Li Lianshan came to Shen Qingshu.
"Lianshan has seen Childe."
Shen Qingshu's face was solemn, and he put away the look just now, "How did you do what you did?" ”
"How dare Lian Shan slack off on the things assigned by Gongzi, the blood scale fruit is about to ripen, just within one or two days."
After speaking, Li Lianshan was a little speechless, looked at Shen Qingshu in front of him, and said stubbornly: "There is something that Gongzi still needs to know, the blood scale fruit has a natural attraction to demon beasts, and Chiba Town is close to the Black Wind Ridge, some time ago, the escort team found that the demon beasts in the Black Wind Ridge were about to move, and Lian Shan was worried that when the blood scale fruit was ripe, it would cause a beast tide." ”
Shen Qingshu squinted slightly, "You don't need to worry about this matter, after all, it is still in the territory of the Imperial Dynasty, and the scale of the beast tide caused by it will not be too large, and the people of the escort team and the yamen are enough to deal with it, but they can't deal with it, and they only need to survive for two days. ”
got the answer he wanted, and most of the gloom on Li Lianshan's face disappeared.
"Lianshan thanked Gongzi for the residents of Chiba Town."
"Alright, take me there."
Li Lianshan took the lead, "Childe, please!" ”
Yin Li, who was supposed to be closed in the room, was also following the two of them at the moment, looking like this, he didn't look like a senior brother or sister at all, but like a servant and a bodyguard.
Li Yuxiu always thought that he was talented and was included in the door wall by the elders of the Baiyun Sect, but he didn't know that from beginning to end, this was just a transaction between his father and Shen Qingshu, Li Lianshan guarded and urged Shen Qingshu to nourish the blood scale fruit, and in return, Li Yuxiu could worship under the Baiyun Sect.
As for the relationship between his daughter and this son, Li Lianshan never cared, his daughter was just a daughter, all he wanted was the identity of 'the father of the disciples of the Baiyun Sect', in just a few years, relying on this identity, the development of the Li family had already broken through the shackles and gained a firm foothold in the city.
The switch of the secret room was in the study, and the three of them walked down the stone steps, and between the flickering firelight, a pungent smell of blood came to their faces.
The ground was covered with white bones, no less than a hundred, and in the middle of the hall of the secret room, between a pool of living water, stood an emerald green stem, without leaves, and above the stem, a thumb-sized blood-red fruit, its epidermis was covered with scales, and the blood-red color was about to cover the last tip of the fruit.
Shen Qingshu greedily sniffed the aroma of the fruit, which was a pungent aroma that could not be concealed by the bloody gas.
"Good! Very good!! Li Lianshan, you did a great job! ”
"It's supposed to be Childe's opportunity, Lianshan just did something insignificant."
"It's okay, you go out, remember, no matter what, you have to withstand the beast tide for two days, and at that time, I will give you what you want."
Receiving Shen Qingshu's affirmative answer, Li Lianshan looked happy, "Gongzi Xie!" ”
After Li Lianshan left, the door of the secret room was closed, and only Shen Qingshu and Yin Li were left here.
The woman had a cold face, "This is what you told me about the so-called chance?" Hundreds of lives in exchange for your chance? Feeding the ripening blood scale fruit with blood food? ”
Shen Qingshu spread his hands, "Is there a problem?" I just handed over the blood scale fruit to Li Lianshan for cultivation, this ripening method was just inadvertently leaked to Li Lianshan, he is more impatient, using this method to ripen the blood scale fruit, what can I do? What does Li Lianshan do and what does it have to do with me? ”
"When the blood food is fed and mature, the evil nature of the blood scale fruit will far exceed the normal maturity, and it will be more attractive to demon beasts, you still have to think about how to deal with this level of beast tide." The woman walked straight to the side with her sword in her hand, sat down with her eyes closed.
"You can't do anything, it's just a matter of slipping away." Shen Qingshu didn't care, his gaze always stayed on the Blood Scale Fruit.
Yin Li opened his eyes suddenly, "You plan to use the power of the beast tide to extinguish your mouth?" That's more than 20,000 people in a whole town!! ”
"Natural and man-made disasters can be stopped by non-human beings."
Yin Li got up, sat back down, and simply stopped opening his eyes, "If it weren't for the great favor owed to the Great Elder, I would really want to kill you with a sword." ”
Shen Qingshu's expression was as usual, "You and I are the same kind of people, so why bother to behave?" There is no third person here, who do you show it to? If you really care about the lives of these ordinary people, no matter how great the kindness is, you can cut it with a sword. ”
Yin Li didn't speak, she wanted to refute, but she found that all her excuses and reasons seemed a little pale in front of the facts.
Shen Qingshu continued: "This is the best result, isn't it? Whether it's for you, for me, or for the White Cloud Sect! Count it all in one fell swoop. ”
Although he Shen Qingshu is a little special in the sect, he is not the only one who is special, once it involves enough interests, the internal competition has always been cruel and fierce, and such a natural treasure as the Blood Scale Fruit is one of the 'sufficient interests'.
Back then, Shen Qingshu had been trained in the Black Wind Ridge and obtained this thing, but it was still nearly fifty years away from maturity, so he could only choose to take it out of the Black Wind Ridge and choose a secret place to cultivate, because once he brought it back to the sect, not to mention the long maturity period, his role in the martial arts would be greatly reduced, and even if it was not discounted, it might not be his turn.
Rather than bring it back to Bo in the future with a greatly discounted possibility, it is better to keep it outside and refine it quietly, so after sacrificing a protector, he came to Chiba Town with the Blood Scale Fruit and chose the Li family.
This is why Li Yuxiu apprenticed to Baiyun Sect, and the Li family developed from a rich peasant in a small town to a top wealthy merchant in Canglan Mansion.
And all of this will come to an end in two days!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingshu's heart became more and more hot.
"By the way, it's not started yet, do one more thing for me."
"What's the matter? You should know that I only promised the Great Elder to give you the Dharma Protector once. ”
Shen Qingshu shook his head, "It's not a big deal, that Yanshi during the day, you should still remember, I asked Li Yuxiu to help me be a lobbyist, but according to what I saw during the day, most of that person would not agree, Li Yuxiu will say another thing if it is done, if it can't be done, kill it." ”
The corners of Yin Li's mouth were sarcastic, "Everyone in the sect says that your Senior Brother Shen is narrow-minded and will repay him, it seems that what he said is true, such a small person, is also worth remembering in your heart?" ”
"After all, he is a Yanshi, I don't want to leave any hidden dangers, ordinary people will never survive the beast tide, but Yanshi may not be able to."
……
But on the other side, his heart was also warm, and he was 'recognized' by Shen Qingshu, and Li Yuxiu, who was as sweet as honey in his heart, came to Cao's Stone Fang.
Looking at the somewhat messy and dilapidated pavement, I couldn't help frowning, lifted my skirt lightly, and walked in!
"Cao An!!"
