Chapter Ninety-Two: Reminder
The big ship set sail and left Qingyu Island, the sea water slapped against the solid hull, making the big ship shake slightly on the sea, Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai came to see it, and soon left here, so in the end, only Shen Shi and Gan Ze were left on the deck.
Looking at the empty deck, the two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while. They all feel familiar with such a scene, in the first few days of the reopening of the demon island a few days ago, only the two of them went to the demon island together, but they didn't expect that now, after a person died, it actually became like this again.
After these days of peer exchanges, Shen Shi and Gan Ze are very familiar with each other, after all, on the big boat, only the two of them are the same age, and after Gan Ze had an accident, those senior brothers and sisters rarely gathered around him, but for Shen Shi, who has always been indifferent to him, Gan Ze seems to be a little closer.
At this moment, Gan Ze turned his eyes around, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Shen Shi, shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that there are only two of us left." ”
"Hmm. Shen Shi looked a little embarrassed and sighed, and the two of them stood on the side of the boat together, looking at the sea and sky, and the sea breeze blowing, blowing their clothes into hunting and flying.
After a while, Shen Shi suddenly said: "Gan Ze, those senior brothers and sisters are not here, your status is much more valuable than theirs, and your future is even greater, why do you insist on going to Demon Island?"
Gan Ze didn't answer him immediately, but looked at the sea in the distance, and after a while, he asked rhetorically: "What about you, the Demon Island is so dangerous now, there is a possibility of death, why do you have to go to the Demon Island as a mid-level outer disciple of the Qi Refining Realm?"
Shen Shi said: "Because I went to Demon Island to earn a lot of spirit crystals." ”
Gan Ze frowned, turned his head to look at him, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, his expression was very serious, and he said softly: "Just for the sake of the spirit crystal, you have to take such a big risk?"
Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's for the spirit crystal." After a pause, he smiled again: "But when it comes to risk, in fact, as long as we do what we can, it won't be particularly big." ”
Gan Ze nodded slowly, thinking that in the past, when he saw Shen Shi only wandering around the periphery of the demon island every time, with the strength of those lowest-level demon beasts, he should still have a way to deal with it.
Shen Shi asked again: "What about you, why do you have to come to Demon Island?"
Gan Ze was silent for a moment and said, "Where I fall, I will get up from there." ”
The tone of this sentence was firm and categorical, and it was a little different from what a fifteen-year-old boy said, Shen Shi glanced at him, and saw Gan Ze's expression solemn, and he didn't mean to joke, but he didn't know what he meant by getting up?
From this, Shen Shi thought of the original incident again, and couldn't help but ask Gan Ze for a while: "Speaking of which, when you were in distress on the Demon Island, did you encounter any powerful demon beasts in the demon hunting cave, or what kind of fierce ghost things?"
Gan Ze's face changed slightly, Shen Shi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there seemed to be a trace of fear in his eyes, but in the end, Gan Ze only said casually: "I met a powerful ghost." ”
As for other more details, Gan Ze didn't want to talk about it deeply, so Shen Shi didn't ask any more.
The uneventful journey continued until they reached the Demon Island, where the two disembarked and parted ways outside the grove as usual, and went their separate ways to their destination amid the terrible roar of the beast in the depths of the distant mountains.
Shen Shi didn't know what special hunting targets Gan Ze had, nor did he know what powerful methods Gan Ze had when he was able to go deep into the woods alone, and Gan Ze had never asked Shen Shi why the middle level realm of the Qi Refining Realm could hunt alone on this demon island.
In this way, the two of them calmly maintained a friendly and somewhat distant friendship, acting separately on this huge demon island.
※※※
At dusk, Shen Shi returned to the big ship with a little tiredness, but he was in a good mood, in the small Ruyi ring on the fingers of his left hand, there were now twelve spirit crystals worth of spiritual materials, which could offset the hard work of the day, and it was enough to add another fee to Zhong Qinglu for refining the Qi Nourishing Pill.
But having said that, the success rate of Zhong Qinglu's alchemy has improved greatly recently, and it seems that the effect of Shen Shi's large investment in her practice in the early stage has finally been slowly reflected, and now Zhong Qinglu's refining of Qi Nourishing Pill has almost always maintained the probability of succeeding once in three times, which is already an extremely rare performance, and it has also made Zhong Qinglu's reputation in the Dantang more and more famous now, and many sect seniors have begun to pay attention to her.
And Zhong Qinglu also kept his promise, every time the alchemy was successful, he gave Shen Shi all the five Qi Nourishing Pills in one furnace, even if sometimes Shen Shi was a little embarrassed and wanted her to stay, Zhong Qinglu insisted on not wanting to.
So now, among the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm on Qingyu Island, Shen Shi is actually quite rich here, and he can't use up the demon hunting qi on Demon Island on weekdays, sometimes he simply uses it to take one or two pieces occasionally when he cultivates every day, and the effect is really good, it is quite helpful to his cultivation, even he himself has noticed that his cultivation is much faster than before, and there is already a faint sign of approaching the intermediate consummation realm and spying on the high level of the Qi Refining Realm.
It can only be said that there is indeed a big difference between cultivating this kind of thing, whether there is money or not, and whether there is a panacea to assist or not. And this gap, the higher and deeper the realm, the more obvious it becomes.
This can be regarded as a successful business, Shen Shi thought in his heart, somewhat satisfied, and then walked onto the deck of the big ship, and saw Gan Ze sitting on the side at first glance.
Gan Ze looked a little embarrassed, leaning on the side of the boat to rest, the clothes on his body were a little messy and dirty, he was closing his eyes at the moment, and there were no conspicuous spiritual materials around him, but Shen Shi didn't think he was empty-handed, in fact, after he showed Gan Ze the little Ruyi Ring, the next day Gan Ze had the same thing in his hand.
Hearing Shen Shi's footsteps, Gan Ze opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Shi, nodded at him with a smile, and said, "How is the harvest?"
Shen Shi grinned, sat down beside him, and said, "It's not bad, you can probably exchange twelve spirit crystals, what about you?"
Gan Ze said: "Kill a 'three-eyed eagle'." ”
Shen Shi was taken aback, and then looked at Gan Ze's gaze was a little more surprised, the three-eyed eagle is a powerful demon beast on this demon island, it is stronger than the ghost shadow lynx killed by Gan Ze a few days ago, it is already a powerful species of second-order demon beasts, in the past, those high-level brothers in the Qi Refining Realm wanted to capture this kind of demon beast, and they often had to work together with several people to succeed, I didn't think that Gan Ze could defeat such a powerful demon beast alone, is this person really a demon-like genius?
Gan Ze then glanced at Shen Shi again, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said, "I remember that you said before that you came to this demon island to hunt demons after learning a five-element technique?"
Shen Shi didn't have anything to hide, and said calmly: "Yes, I learned the water archery technique, but the power of this technique is average, so I can only barely deal with the low-level demon beasts on the periphery of the demon island, and I can't deal with it if I go deeper." ”
Gan Ze was silent for a while, as if he was pondering, but after a while, he said slowly: "I thought that if it was possible, it would be better for you to learn a few more first-order techniques, such as fireball techniques, rock thorn techniques, etc., now low-level demon beasts may not be different, but in the future, high-level demon beasts often have more five element attributes, mutual growth and restraint, and if the spells are cast properly, maybe there will be miraculous effects." ”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you to have such an opinion on the Five Elements Technique?"
Gan Ze smiled and said, "That's not it, I don't have any talent here, and I have never learned the Five Elements Technique, and the words I said before were all said to me by Elder Pu, who presided over the Sect Hall." After a pause, he glanced at the surprised Shen Shi, his face seemed to have a hint of ridicule, and he laughed dryly, and said, "Elder Pu is my grandfather's junior brother, and he has a good relationship with our Gan family on weekdays. ”
"Hmm......" Shen Shi once again saw the huge connections of the Gan family's family in the behemoth sect of the Lingxiao Sect, nodded immediately, and said, "Since it is what the Great Elder of the Yuan Dan Realm of the Sect said, it is naturally not wrong, but the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique is difficult, and I have to take my time." ”
Gan Ze's face showed a little agreement, and he seemed to be very much in favor of Shen Shi's judgment on the difficulty of cultivating the Five Elements Technique, and then smiled again: "By the way, Elder Pu also said at the beginning that if you have achieved a small success in the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique, it is best to work the Talisman together, these two complement each other, if you can really use it flexibly, it may have unexpected effects." ”
"Fu Zheng?" Shen Shi's face showed a bit of a strange look.
Gan Ze glanced at him and said, "What's wrong?"
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and said: "But I have heard in the past that the talisman is extremely difficult and difficult, not to mention, the utility is also average, but the cost is high and scary, it is really not a good magic power." ”
Gan Ze actually nodded and said, "You're right, that's what I heard. Facing Shen Shi's suspicious gaze, Gan Ze spread his hands and said with a smile, "I've said it all, these are the original words that Elder Pu said to me, not my own thoughts. ”
After a pause, Gan Ze muttered: "Maybe it's because Elder Pu's own realm is too high, and he is already a great person in the Yuan Dan realm, so naturally he sees things differently from us, not to mention that he is a person, there is no shortage of various resources for the Spirit Crystal Pill, and it must be easy to bear some talismans, so he can say such things." ”
Shen Shi smiled and said, "Are you saying that Elder Pu is full and doesn't know how hungry people are hungry?"
Gan Ze laughed, waved his hand, and said, "This is what you said, be careful and I'll go tell Elder Pu in the future!"
Shen Shi was "shocked" and arched his hand: "A good man spares his life!"
Ganze smiled heartily, patted him on the shoulder, and shook his head.
※※※
The big ship slowly lifted anchor and left the demon island, the lonely sail went away in the evening breeze, and the sunset lit up the sky.
Shen Shi looked at the sunset on the horizon, his hands pillowed behind his head, and a thought passed through his heart:
Tomorrow, should I go to the Five Elements Hall again......
