Chapter 17: Waiting

People can't be resurrected after death, let alone a stranger who doesn't even know the name, so although there is some emotion in my heart that "good people" don't live long, but Shen Shi, who has seen a lot of life and death in the demon world in the past, quickly forgot about that tall scattered cultivator.

On this day, on the originally peaceful Silver Moon Lake realm, a number of fights broke out one after another, and the original two local cultivators of Broken Moon City, the Black Wind Hall and the Fish Dragon Sect, fought fiercely, and many innocent cultivators who were collecting medicine and hunting beasts in Silver Moon Lake were affected in the middle, and what was even more surprising was that the Xuanjian Sect, which had always been high, also made a brazen move this time, sending the master disciples of the sect to participate in the battle.

The strength of the famous sects, of course, is not comparable to small sects such as the Black Wind Hall and the Ichthyosaurus Sect, so after the first few melees, the disciples of the Xuanjian Sect quickly subdued everyone, shocked the scene, and no one dared to move and fish in troubled waters, and with the occurrence of this battle, the reason for it also spread inside and outside Broken Moon City, the main meaning of most of the rumors is that it is said that someone in the Ichthyosaurus Sect found a heavy treasure in the Silver Moon Lake by chance, but as for what this treasure is, there are different opinions, and there are different theories。

Some people say that there is an ancient immortal soldier born, whose power is incomparably superb; some people say that there is a high-level spirit beast cub there, once it is captured and raised, it is unimaginable in the future; some people say that in fact, where did so many strange things come from, that is, all kinds of spirit grass are abundant on the side of Yinyue Lake, and now somehow there is a high-grade spirit grass that has at least four or even five grades, which can already be regarded as a treasure of heaven and earth, and naturally provokes countless monks to compete for it.

In short, what exactly this treasure is, there is no accepted statement for the time being, but in the cultivation world, almost all monks have always been eager for such legendary treasures of heaven and earth, including what other ancient secret treasures and ancient cultivation heritage immortal treasure troves are cloudy.

Once by chance, the great creation, you will naturally be able to leap into the dragon gate and ascend to the sky, saving countless years of arduous and even painful cultivation, ordinary children are unknown, and once the legend of the adventure moves the world, no matter in which era, it is the most popular legend in the human cultivation world, especially for those many scattered cultivators who are huge and at the bottom of the cultivation world, it is what they dream of.

There is no way, people must have dreams in life, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, it is always good to have such a slim fantasy.

Maybe everyone had such unrealistic but beautiful dreams when they were young, and Shen Shi was naturally no exception, when he was young, because he had read a lot of books, and even dreamed of more adventures than ordinary children. But after all, those were just the simple wishes and expectations of childhood, and now, although he is still young, he is no longer in that daydream.

What he remembered was what his father, who had been missing for many years, had told him: he was not a genius, there would always be someone stronger than him, and all he could do was to cultivate more diligently.

For these rumors about that treasure, Shen Shi also heard some in the following time, recalling the scene at that time, Shen Shi guessed in his heart that this treasure that everyone talked about but didn't know the roots, nine times out of ten, he was afraid that it was on the head of the Ichthyosaurus Sect that he saw, but there was the Xuanjian Sect that followed and followed, including Nangong Ying, who was obviously in the Dao Realm, but I was afraid that no matter how precious the treasure was, most of the old man in charge of the Ichthyosaurus Sect would not be able to keep it.

Heaven and earth treasures, are there virtuous people living in them?

Shen Shi categorically doesn't believe this kind of deceitful words now.

In the next few days, there were still a few battles in Silvermoon Lake, but the scale was much smaller than before, because the Xuanjian Gate seemed to be just a thunderbolt blow, and then immediately stopped. However, because it was the Ichthyosaurus Sect that day that got the treasure and wanted to hide it privately, the main object of the Xuanjian Sect's attack that day was also them, and the difference in strength between the two sides was really large.

Now that the Xuanjian Sect has withdrawn, the disciples in the sect have also withdrawn from Yinyue Lake, and I don't know if they have found that treasure, which has also attracted countless people's speculation, but the real reason is naturally only known by the Xuanjian Sect itself.

And here in the Silver Moon Lake realm, the battles that took place in the next two or three days were almost all between the disciples of the Black Wind Hall and the Fish Dragon Sect, in the past, the two factions were evenly matched, and they barely kept some affection for each other, but now the Fish Dragon Sect has gone, but the Black Wind Hall was the first to jump out and fall into the ground, and the attack was resolute and vicious, and it was three points better than the Xuanjian Sect.

Shen Shi also heard and saw some of these local cultivators in Broken Moon City, but after all, it was something that had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have much coveting for that unknown treasure in his heart, so he still stayed here in Silver Moon Lake for three days according to the original plan, anyway, as long as he paid attention to the battle between the two factions, in fact, it didn't interfere too much, and he saw that it was almost the day when the Lingxiao Sect came, so Shen Shi left to return to the city.

※※※

A few days passed, and then returned to Shen Shi in Broken Moon City, and soon found that the atmosphere in the city had changed a little compared to before, although the monks who came and went were still large and noisy, but it was obvious that the figures of some sect disciples were much less, and occasionally one or two people dressed in the costumes of Xuanjian Sect disciples walked into the street, and the monks next to them all looked at each other from awe with a look of awe.

The Ichthyosaurus Sect has almost been completely defeated, and the remaining Black Wind Hall has also changed the appearance of faintly not dealing with the Xuanjian Gate in the past, and has already pasted it to show favor to the Xuanjian Gate in every way, and single-mindedly pretends to be the next door, it seems that the battle of Yinyue Lake, the thunderous blow of the Xuanjian Gate, has shocked the whole city.

It seems that in the near future, this Broken Moon City is about to become a private leader of the Xuanjian Gate.

Shen Shi had such a thought in his heart, walking through the lively street, not far in front of the high-rise buildings of the Immortal Society's branch stood there like a flock, Shen Shi hesitated, glanced at the surrounding shops again, and after pondering for a while, he finally decided to go to the Immortal Society.

In the past few days in Yinyue Lake, because of the little black pig's talent for finding spirit grass that unexpectedly appeared, Shen Shi's Ruyi bag had a lot of spirit grass, of course, there was also a price, that is, there were four fewer spirit crystals in the original, all of which were eaten by the little black pig according to the daily ration of one piece.

To say that this kind of speed of consuming spirit crystals is more powerful than that of ordinary monks, not to mention that it is much faster than that of Qi Refining Realm monks, even compared to Ning Yuan Realm monks, it is not much worse, and it may even be faster. However, after Shen Shi finally calculated the harvest, the value of the spirit grass found by those little black pigs was still too much to lose after all.

The Immortal Society has an outstanding reputation, a complete range of spiritual materials, and of course there is a special purchase counter, which is dedicated to purchasing all kinds of spiritual materials for sale from many monks, but just like all the merchants in the world, it is expensive when it is sold, and it is cheap when it is repurchased.

There are almost twenty kinds of spirit grass in Shen Shi Ruyi's bag, most of them are ordinary first-grade spirit grasses, but there are exceptions, two are valuable second-grade spirit grasses, one is white raditho root, and one is the "ebony root" that the little black pig found on the shore of Yinyue Lake later.

After Shen Shi thought about it, he sold all the first-grade spirit grasses at the acquisition counter in the lobby of the Immortal Society, leaving only two second-grade spirit grasses, which were very valuable and useful, and the spirit grasses of this grade could often be used as the main material of various Danfangs, so it was always a pity to sell them at will. If Fang Zheng returned to the Lingxiao Sect by himself in the future, maybe there would be a time when he would use these two spirit grasses.

When this thought came to mind, Shen Shi suddenly inadvertently remembered Zhong Qinglu, three years ago, she was still a girl on Qingyu Island, she had some talent in alchemy, and she made that agreement with her in private, and now she suddenly thought about it, it was really funny, with a little naivety.

If at that time, no matter whose heart is darker, can they easily trap the other party?

I don't know what Zhong Qinglu's situation is now in the past three years, it stands to reason that she should have cultivated to the Ning Yuan Realm, and in addition, she is in alchemy, without the support of her own spirit crystal, will she be delayed in the future?

Thinking of Zhong Qinglu, Shen Shi couldn't help but think of Zhong Qingzhu again, and then Sun You, He Xiaomei, etc., and even found that he still remembered the little fat man Hou Sheng who had a conflict with him on the day he first started, and then he realized that he was so engraved in his heart about the days of Qingyu Island.

For a while, he was a little stunned, and it wasn't until at the other end of the counter that the guy called him a few times in a friendly and gentle manner, that Shen Shi suddenly woke up, and he was speechless and a little embarrassed for a while, but he still continued to do this.

In the end, all the spirit grasses in his Ruyi bag were sold, leaving only two second-grade spirit grasses, in exchange for dozens of spirit crystals, plus the rest before, he secretly counted them, and there were forty-six spirit crystals in total.

There is money in his pocket, and he is not panicked in his heart, there is still some truth in this sentence, although this spirit crystal really wants to talk about it, it is not much, but Shen Shi still feels a lot more relieved, and in the next time, he took a deep breath, cheered up and paid attention to the surroundings, then walked out of the Immortal Club branch and walked towards the relatively secluded Sanchun Building in front of him.

The ten-day time agreed upon by the Lingxiao Sect is supposed to be today.

Shen Shi walked all the way, although he felt that everything around him was normal, and no one particularly noticed him, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and could only hope that everything would go well, and that he would be able to return to Lingxiao Sect smoothly.

And everything seemed to be just as he thought, until he walked to the front of the Sanchun Tower, the surroundings were still calm, and nothing unusual happened.

Sanchun Lou is a restaurant, it is the morning, the door is open, the figure flickering, although it is not the bustle of customers, but there are two or three tables of guests are drinking and chatting.

Everything seemed to be normal, Shen Shi took a deep breath, his heart was slightly settled, and he raised his feet and walked in.

It's just that he only took two or three steps into the building, just now to look at the environment in this building, is he looking for a place to sit down and wait for the Lingxiao Sect to come, then he suddenly saw four people sitting on a square table by the window in front of him, three men and one woman, it was the Xuanjian Sect Geng Cheng, Ding He, Fu Jun and Nangong Ying sitting there.

Shen Shi's heart jumped, and he almost subconsciously wanted to turn around and walk away, but before he could react, Nangong Ying on the table seemed to have been paying attention to the door of the restaurant, and saw him as soon as Shen Shi walked in, and at this moment he had already stood up, beckoned to Shen Shi, and said:

"Senior Brother Shen, we've been waiting for you for a long time, please come over for a while. ”
