Chapter 263: Green Pine Forest
If it is intercepted on land, Shen Luo may be able to find some clues with his extraordinary five senses, but this incident happened on the water, and any smell would be washed away once it touched the water, and there was nothing he could do.
"It's just the rest of the stuff in that shipment, there's a batch of red snake grass in it that's also missing, these damn bandits!" said the shopkeeper's eyes with resentment.
"Red Snake Grass, but it is a spirit grass that is shaped like a red snake and contains highly poisonous? I remember that this grass is just an ordinary spiritual material, and it can only be used to refine a few poisons, so it is not very precious. Shen Luo saw the record of this grass in the classics, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"Unexpectedly, Shen Gongzi is not only proficient in the art of talismans, but also has research on alchemy, you are right, the ordinary red snake grass is just a cold spiritual material, but what I Lu Baotang purchased this time is the double-pointed red snake grass, although it contains highly poisonous, but it also has a strange vitality spiritual power, it is the main spiritual material for refining Ning Yuan Dan, which is very precious. The shopkeeper glanced at Shen Luo in a little surprise, and then continued to say in an indignant voice.
"Father, since the things have been lost, it's useless to think about it, so let's look away. Ma Xiuxiu walked over with a cup of tea at this moment, put it in Shen Luo's hand, and said with relief.
The shopkeeper nodded helplessly, and sighed for a while.
"Ning Yuan Dan?"
Shen Luo thought of something and blurted out a question.
He had seen a record of Ning Yuan Dan in the classics of Fang Cun Mountain, which was an elixir that assisted in breaking through the Bigu period.
Recently, with the assistance of his cultivation experience in the dream realm, his cultivation has been quite smooth, and while he is excited, he has also increased his ambition, and he is no longer satisfied with the Qi refining period, he also wants to advance to the Bigu stage to obtain a longer lifespan and stronger strength.
In the past few days, Shen Luo has not only drawn talismans, but also entered the Bai family's library to read some books about breaking through the Bigu period, and has a deeper understanding of the difficulties of this level.
Although he had a breakthrough experience in the dream world, it was all thanks to the qualifications of others, and with his qualifications in reality, it was far less than in the dream world, and it was uncertain whether those experiences would work.
But in any case, he doesn't plan to give up!
"Ning Yuan Dan is a precious pill that can help break through the Bigu period, which can increase the success rate of one or two percent. Seeing Shen Luo's expression, the shopkeeper thought that he didn't know the efficacy of Ning Yuan Dan, and explained.
"Can you only improve the success rate of one or two cities?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.
"This is already very high, breaking through the two major difficulties in the Bigu period, mana liquefaction and opening up the law veins are extremely difficult, and the requirements for talent are very high. It's a pity that those double-pointed red snake grasses were taken away, if they can be refined into Ning Yuan Dan, their value will immediately increase more than tenfold. The shopkeeper sighed.
"The shopkeeper has a way to refine Ning Yuan Dan? I want to buy one, I wonder if I can help?" Shen Luo looked surprised and said to the shopkeeper.
"This ......" The old shopkeeper blushed and was speechless.
"Brother Shen, don't listen to Daddy's nonsense, where does he have a way to refine Ning Yuan Dan, this acquisition of Double-Pointed Red Snake Grass is just to exchange some items with others, Ning Yuan Dan is extremely precious, only a few large sects can refine it, how can there be an alchemist here in Jianye City who can refine this Dan. As for Ning Yuan Dan, only the government and the three major families have a little inventory in the entire Jianye City, but they control it extremely strictly and will not be left outside. Ma Xiuxiu continued with the shopkeeper's words and said.
The shopkeeper scratched his head and sneered.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
But he didn't have anything to lose, Soul Hook Ma Mian said that anything can be bought in the ghost market, and there should be Ning Yuan Dan for sale there.
"Shopkeeper Ma, according to the price on the market, how much immortal jade is a Ning Yuan Pill worth?" he asked after a slight groan.
"This pill has always been priceless in the market, and it can't be bought at all, I remember that the Lin family once bought one from the government a few years ago and spent eighty yuan of immortal jade. The shopkeeper hesitated and said.
"Eighty Immortal Jade ......," Shen Luo frowned.
He has been working hard to do tasks in the past few days, drawing talismans, and the number of immortal jade in his hand has accumulated to more than sixty pieces, and there are more than ten pieces short of eighty, which is neither too much nor too little, but the time left for himself is not too much, and he needs to hurry up.
"Thank you for telling the shopkeeper, there is still something to do, so I will leave first. Shen Luo didn't stay here for long, and said goodbye and left.
Time flies, and the day of the opening of the ghost market is coming soon.
"But it's finally time for this day. Shen Luo stroked the stone box on the table, hugged it with a piece of green cloth, and carried it on his back.
He didn't waste a little time in this month, and all his energy was spent on earning immortal jade, and he finally earned a full eighty immortal jade yesterday.
Not only the immortal jade, but Shen Luo stuffed all the valuable things on his body into the stone box.
It was already dark outside, Shen Luo got up and left Baifu, and after a while, he turned over and left the city.
During this time, he had already found someone to inquire about the location of the green pine forest mentioned by Soul Charm, and as soon as he left the city, he followed a small river outside the city and headed west.
The river is a branch of Yeosu Hoa, and it goes straight to the west, and you can reach the green pine forest along the river.
It's still early, so Shen Luo is not in a hurry.
Half an hour later, the meandering stream finally came to an end, and a lush green pine forest appeared in front of it.
"Is this the place?" he said, with a hint of joy on his face, stepping inside, his pupils shrinking slightly.
There are tombs in the pine forest, and it is actually a cemetery.
If an ordinary person suddenly walked to a cemetery in the middle of the night, it is estimated that he would be scared half to death, but Shen Luo has killed a lot of real ghosts these days, so he will naturally not be afraid of the cemetery.
"The ghost market and the cemetery are also compatible. Shen Luo smiled lightly, took out the grimace mask and put it on his face, took a deep breath, and walked into the green pine forest.
This green pine forest is not large, only seven or eight acres of land, most of the place is covered by tombs, walking in it always feels that the temperature is a few points lower than outside, and the sound of wild cats from time to time aggravates the gloom of this place.
Shen Luo turned a blind eye to this, ran the oblique moon step slightly, and quickly completed a circle, but unfortunately there was no abnormal situation.
"It seems that it really won't be until the time of the child that the ghost market will appear. Shen Luo muttered to himself, and did not walk out of the cemetery, but sat down directly with his back against a green pine, and waited quietly.
After sitting for half an hour, his complexion suddenly changed, and he quietly got up and half-squatted on the ground, hiding his body behind the pine tree, and looking out of the pine forest.
There was a sound of light footsteps, but a gray figure walked quickly, quite tall, wearing a wide gray robe, with a hood on his head, tightly wrapped around his body, and a mask on his face.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Luo's eyes, and the person wearing it was also wearing a grimace mask.
"What a sneaky person!"
