Chapter 15: Chance Encounters

The little black pig's talent for finding spirit grass is peculiar but really powerful, but in an hour or so, he actually took Shen Shi to find five spirit grasses, one of which is a second-grade spirit grass "Tianshui Orchid", which is often used in alchemy, and is an important main ingredient for several kinds of Danfang, which is very valuable.

And in this process, Shen Shi also fully realized for the first time that this little pig's powerful ability to find grass, often walking, without the slightest warning, the little black pig suddenly noticed something, and then turned his head and rushed into a certain wild grass or a dark hole, and found those spirit grasses from the weird corners that ordinary people would not pay attention to at all.

With such a talent, Shen Shi was also amazed, and after collecting five spirit grasses, he kept his promise and took out a spirit crystal, and gave it to the little black pig who had been grinning and smirking around him. He gave this spirit crystal willingly, and even a little impressive in his heart, the value of the five spirit grasses that the little black pig found, if he went back to sell them in Broken Moon City, the spirit crystal that could be exchanged for was far more than this spirit crystal.

But...... Everyone is a good friend, so don't think about this kind of thing!

Shen Shi squatted down, stuffed the spirit crystal into the little pig's mouth, and then held its little head and touched it gently, the little black pig was immediately happy, with the spirit crystal in his mouth, just like a child who had eaten the sweetest candy he had dreamed of, and looked extremely happy.

Shen Shi was still a little curious, and he had doubts about how the little black pig should eat this spirit crystal, it was impossible to swallow it directly like other foods, right?

Just looking at it, the little black pig seems to be happily holding this spirit crystal in his mouth, and it is really like a child eating candy, his mouth moves gently, neither biting nor swallowing. However, after Shen Shi observed for a while, he suddenly found that the luster of the spirit crystal seemed to be a little lighter than before.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, as a monk, he was very familiar with this change in the spirit crystal, that was in the past, every time he took the spirit crystal to cultivate and attract the spirit into the body, because he lost a part of the spiritual power, the luster of the spirit crystal would naturally dim a little.

And the scene in front of me seems to be a similar situation...... Could it be that this little black pig is holding this spirit crystal, and when he walks around and is happy like this, he is actually doing the cultivation work of attracting spirits into his body?

Shen Shi looked at this increasingly weird little pig with some disbelief, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the little black pig seemed to be just happily playing over there with a spirit crystal in his mouth, and there was no sign of serious cultivation. And during this period of surprise and hesitation, he vaguely saw that the light on the spirit crystal seemed to be slightly dimmed.

Shen Shi shook his head, thinking that since this little pig ate those two beads, the strange thing is that he can't be poor, and he can't manage so much, anyway, everyone is together, and he will take a closer look in the future. He greeted the little black pig and continued to walk forward.

※※※

According to Shen Shi's original intention, this day has just begun, with such a strong talent as the little black pig, of course, it is necessary to continue to look for all kinds of spirit grasses, where can cultivators think that there are too many spirit grass spirit materials, they really find too many spirit grasses that they can't use themselves, isn't it also excellent to go to the market to exchange for spirit crystals?

It's just that he is looking forward to it so much, but the little black pig who eats the spirit crystal seems to suddenly start to become lazy, although he still looks happy with the spirit crystal in his mouth, running around and playing with him, but the little black pig obviously shows that he has lost interest in finding the spirit grass, and in the next hour, Shen Shi and the little black pig walked around this silver moon lake, but they didn't find a spirit grass.

This is obviously a stark contrast to the previous hour to quickly and effectively find the five spirit grasses, Shen Shi tried to urge the little pig a few times, but the little black pig is all lazy, it seems that the inertia in this bone cannot be changed, and he doesn't want to move when he is full......

Shen Shi also had a headache and was helpless, but he was helpless against this lazy little pig, and finally comforted himself and thought, anyway, if there are five spirit grasses in the account every day, this day is already very good, and it is not good to be too greedy.

After thinking about it, the mood was much better, and he laughed and scolded a few words about the little black pig, you foodie lazy worm, and then took the little pig who didn't care about the smile all the time, and walked along the wild grass.

Just walking, Shen Shi suddenly paused, but saw that the front suddenly opened up, and a large and calm water surface appeared in his sight, needless to say, this is naturally Yinyue Lake.

Shen Shi was taken aback, most of his thoughts were on the little pig this morning, and he didn't pay much attention to the almost identical scenery around him, but before he knew it, he actually walked to the edge of Yinyue Lake.

According to the information he got, Yinyue Lake covers an area of 1,000 acres, including a large area by the lake, which can be regarded as a treasure land rich in all kinds of spiritual grasses and many demon beasts.

When you arrive at the lakeside place, the spiritual grass produced will gradually have high-quality appearance, but then there will be more powerful and fierce monsters, and because it is the edge of the lake, in addition to some terrestrial monsters, there will be some mysterious and strange water monsters from time to time, and occasionally they will come out to hurt people, which is unguardable.

It is precisely because of this that ordinary casual cultivators or sect disciples with a slightly lower level of Taoism usually collect medicine on the periphery of Yinyue Lake for safety reasons, and there are not many monks who can really walk to the edge of Yinyue Lake.

It's just that...... Shen Shi looked around, only to see that the lake was as smooth as a mirror, and the surroundings were also peaceful, the scenery was beautiful, and there were no signs of anything unusual, let alone seeing any dangerous demon beasts.

Along the way today, it seems that I haven't seen a monster beast yet?

Shen Shi was a little surprised in his heart, called a little pig, asked it not to be too far away from him, and then walked slowly with a little caution, while paying more attention to his surroundings.

On the ground of this lakeside, there are no reeds that are more than one person high, it seems that the reeds like a forest are only distributed in the direction of the lake he has been to before, and at this moment, around him, there are mostly some slightly low weeds, but they are also luxuriant, and the height is also knee-deep, and in some places it is even waist-deep, if some dwarf monsters hide in the weeds, it is really not easy to find. Not to mention how difficult it would be to find those inconspicuous spirit grasses if they grew in these grasses.

A little farther away, on the west side, there is a dense mangrove forest that stretches from the shore to the shallow waters, which is also very luxuriant.

Shen Shi walked to the edge of the lake, and looked into the lake a few times with some vigilance, but he saw that the water quality was clear, and some sand and gravel under the shallow water could be seen clearly, except for some small fish swimming leisurely, he did not see any monsters that could pose a threat to people.

At this point, Shen Shi finally put his mind at ease, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that when he arrives at a place like Yinyue Lake, which is quite deep, he shouldn't be so calm, what's wrong today?

Could it be that it has something to do with the unexpected actions of the Ichthyosaurus faction yesterday?

He was thinking in his heart, at this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp roar somewhere in the distance, like a famous sword out of its sheath, the sound was like a dragon's groan, the momentum was extraordinary, and it had the power to shock heaven and earth.

Even if it was so far away, Shen Shi was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a certain lakeside place in the far east, a sword light rose into the sky, clear and vast, and the momentum was incomparable, but what followed was a rumbling and noisy sound, as if countless people suddenly rushed to that place, and suddenly started a scuffle in that place.

Shen Shi's heart jumped suddenly, remembering that direction was not the depths of the reeds yesterday, it seems that the secret of that scene was still not kept.

And as that scuffle suddenly unfolded with great fanfare, the place on the shore of Silver Moon Lake suddenly seemed to be boiling, instantly chaotic, and quickly spread outward.

Shen Shi felt uneasy in his heart, and just when he was thinking about whether he wanted to stay farther away, he heard a burst of anger mixed with the sound of angry shouting, shouting, and screaming, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of footsteps with a hurry, which sounded separately from several directions, like a chaotic herd of beasts rushing over.

Shen Shi's face changed slightly, and he was about to leave, when he suddenly realized something, he looked back, and saw that in the weeds behind him, several people came from a distance, and they seemed to be scattered cultivators, separated from front and back, there were men and women, and the one who walked at the end was a tall monk, somehow although it was just a glance, but Shen Shi always felt that the person seemed to be a little familiar, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

And the few casual cultivators who came over were also stunned when they saw Shen Shi standing alone by the lake, but this Silver Moon Lake is a borderless place, naturally everyone can come, and it must be a monk who came here to collect medicine, so these people didn't pay much attention to it, but there was a faint sense of vigilance in their expressions, after all, in the wilderness, it is not easy for casual cultivators to survive, and it is normal to be wary of this kind of person of unknown origin.

But among these people, the tall monk who walked at the end seemed to have a hint of frustration and bad luck on his face, and after seeing Shen Shi, his body suddenly shook, and his expression suddenly changed, and a look of surprise swept by, and at the same time, he seemed to grit his teeth faintly, and seemed to be very annoyed to see Shen Shi.

Shen Shi naturally didn't understand the frustration of a person who had been looking for him for several days and wanted to rob the house but couldn't find anyone, in fact, he didn't care too much about those few loose cultivators, even if it was the guy he seemed to be a little familiar with, he couldn't remember it, he just hadn't seen it, there were people everywhere in the world, who could remember them all?
