Chapter 218: Looking Back

"Blood Moon Realm?" Gu Lingyun frowned and groaned, but he was not impressed for a while. There are many realms in the Hongmeng world, in addition to the vast and vast Hongmeng worlds, there are also many other worlds that are connected to each other through the mysterious ancient teleportation circle, some of which are suitable for the human race to live and close to the Hongmeng main realm are quite familiar on weekdays, but those very remote and inaccessible, and it is almost impossible to appear in people's sight all year round, and it is really not easy for people to remember them all.

However, it seems that this witch master seems to have some understanding of the Blood Moon Realm, and he calmly explained a few words to Gu Lingyun at the moment, and said: "The Blood Moon Realm is a five-layer realm, which is one of the most remote realms, and the environment in this realm is harsh and very dangerous. ”

Gu Lingyun let out an "oh", glanced at Master Wu, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be well-read and strong, admire." ”

Master Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper has won the prize, in fact, it is nothing, but it is because of the special environment in the Blood Moon Realm that several unique special spiritual materials have been produced, and I have a little understanding of this realm." After a pause, Master Wu said, "The Phantom Rainbow Flower we just talked about is a kind of spirit grass unique to the Blood Moon Realm. ”

Gu Lingyun nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the yield of this phantom rainbow flower should have been very rare in the past, right?"

The wizard master bowed his head and said, "That's true. Phantom rainbow flower is a four-grade spirit grass, which is not small, and can be used among the six kinds of Dan Fang, but this kind of spirit grass is born with the miraculous effect of changing colors, and some of the phantom arrays in the formation are naturally fit, which can be described as divine objects, so it has always been in short supply. It's just that this kind of spirit grass only grows in the damp corners of the water ghost swamp in the Blood Moon Realm, and the number is scarce, and it is extremely difficult to find, but there is a kind of water ghost born in that swamp, which is neither human nor beast, but a very strange foreign body, covered with something like humour, and there are often plants such as water grass and withered vines growing on it. Phantom rainbow flowers are born to love that layer of weird putre, so one or two phantom rainbow flowers can often be found on these water ghosts, but the water ghosts are fierce and infinite, and they are naturally adapted to the swamp, even if they can't beat it, as long as they dive into the water, they will be integrated with the swamp, which is very secret and difficult to find. Over the years, the production of this rainbow flower has indeed been very low, and the price has remained high. ”

Gu Lingyun glanced at the dossier in his hand that recorded all kinds of rare spiritual materials allocated by the main hall, smiled, and said, "The number of other spiritual materials has not changed much, but only the number of phantom rainbow flowers has suddenly doubled, Mr. Wu, what do you think?"

The Witch Master pondered for a moment, and then said, "According to the old man's guess, maybe the monk who collected the Phantom Rainbow Flower on the side of the Blood Moon Realm last month suddenly had some windfall, and the number skyrocketed, after all, the main hall allocated not only our branch, even if it is only the highest-level first-level branch, that number adds up to a lot." In addition to the vision and experience, luck is also really important. ”

As he spoke, the witch master stroked his beard and smiled slightly, showing a bit of nostalgia on his face, I don't know if he remembered some of the past events when he was young, and said after a while: "Anyway, let's take a look at this month, if the number ......of phantom rainbows returns to normal next month, it will be nothing;

Speaking of this, he seemed to be slightly distracted, and his voice was a little lower, but Gu Lingyun asked, "Oh, so what?"

The Witch Master looked contemplative and said, "If this is the case, it means that there is something abnormal on the side of the Blood Moon Realm, someone has discovered what way, or there is a method unknown to the predecessors, and it is actually possible to collect a large number of this four-grade spirit grass. And judging from the number of spirit grasses allocated by the main hall, if there is really such a thing, I am afraid that most of that person is in the people of our Immortal Society. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Lingyun, his eyes flickering, as if there was a bit of deep meaning.

Gu Lingyun nodded slowly, with a little understanding on his face, and said lightly: "I understand, if someone can really do this, needless to say, they will naturally get the attention of the main hall, in case there is a little luck, and they are taken by the old immortals in the meeting, I am afraid that they will soar into the sky." ”

Master Wu smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, sat down and chatted a few more words, and then took his leave and left. Gu Lingyun was the only one left in the huge study, this delicate woman sat in the wide chair, thoughtful, and after a while, she suddenly whispered:

"Blood Moon Realm...... It's remote and inaccessible, so it shouldn't be so coincidental......"

※※※

Shen Shi got off Jinhong Mountain, crossed the sea and soon came to Liuyun City, the bustling and noisy city appeared in front of him again, and that unique sense of intimacy soon surrounded him again, so that Shen Shi's somewhat irritable mood quickly calmed down, and for a moment, Shen Shi even had an urge to simply buy a small courtyard house in this big city.

A hut that no one knows, when you are upset, you come alone, stay in a quiet corner of this noisy city, maybe it is also a different taste, but also a different kind of peace.

However, although this thought was strong and impulsive, it still flashed after all, and Shen Shi just smiled and left this seemingly unrealistic idea behind.

Now although he barely has a few spirit crystals, he has more money on hand, but it is not this kind of ruined method to lose, not to mention that the path of cultivation has never been difficult and tortuous, and today seeing the huge number of four thousand spirit crystals, it is not possible to directly hollow him out with a spiritual material and a spiritual grass tomorrow.

Walking around Liuyun City, Shen Shi quickly went to the Immortal Society, maybe he didn't even realize that since he had the White Divine Bead in his Ruyi bag, almost subconsciously he had an instinctive reaction that he had to go to the Immortal Society to buy and sell spiritual materials.

When he arrived at the Immortal Club branch, he naturally didn't come to see those spiritual materials, so he walked to the side and asked the guy here to inform the Gu shopkeeper on his behalf, and it didn't take long for Gu Lingyun to send someone down and take him to the spacious study on the fourth floor again.

After a calm and somewhat strange greeting, Gu Lingyun directly asked Shen Shi if he could find any clues about Huang Ming in the ancient books and scrolls in the sea of books, and Shen Shi answered honestly:

"I can't find this person, or I haven't seen this name in any of the ancient books I've read these days. ”

Gu Lingyun frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "There are a lot of ancient books from the Heavenly Demon King Court era in the sea of books?"

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and said: "There are as many as cows, at least more than 300,000 volumes, and because of the lack of manpower, most of them take care of their own secrets, and almost none of these ancient books and scrolls are carefully classified, and they are all randomly stacked on rows of bookshelves." ”

Gu Lingyun imagined that scene in his mind, his face also changed slightly, and he didn't look good, and said, "You...... How many books have you read in these days, and how long will it take to finish them?"

Shen Shi coughed and said, "I also have to practice on weekdays, and I also have daily homework to do, so I can only go through the books for an hour or two a day, and I almost have to read a hundred or so books." But if you ask me when I can finish it, I can only say, I'm afraid that there is not enough time in this life......"

Gu Lingyun raised his eyebrows and glared at Shen Shi, but Shen Shi looked helpless and spread his hands and said, "I'll tell you the truth." ”

Gu Lingyun shook his head, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows with two fingers, and after being silent for a moment, he sighed lightly and said: "Forget it, anyway, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, if you have time and heart on weekdays, help me find more, if there is really news for me, I will definitely thank you." ”

Shen Shi said: "Thank you Shopkeeper Gu for your love, but I just want to hope to reunite with my father in two years, as for finding books, I will definitely not slack off, please rest assured that Shopkeeper Gu." ”

Gu Lingyun nodded, and then said to him: "There are two days left before the private auction of this association, since you are here, don't leave Liuyun City again, just wait here for two days, and I will naturally send someone to tell you when the time and place come." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Gu Lingyun to be so easy to speak, and secretly wondered if it would be because his first impression of this Aunt Gu when he was a child was too deep, so he always felt that this woman was as cold as frost and difficult to intersect, but at the moment, it seemed that Gu Lingyun was not too difficult to get along with.

Gu Lingyun made up his mind, and quickly made up his mind, and then showed his generous side, and directly booked a secluded courtyard for Shen Shi a few streets near the branch of the Immortal Society, so that he could go over and have a good rest, and he would go around casually for the past few days, waiting for the auction in two days.

When Shen Shi left, I have to say that his impression of this woman who has the power of the branch of the Immortal Society of Liuyun City in his palm has actually begun to slowly improve.

※※※

December 21st, fine.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was the day when the auction agreed by Gu Lingyun and Shen Shi began. Time and place Gu Lingyun really did not break his promise, and sent someone over to inform Shen Shi early, and what Shen Shi needed to do was to take the little black pig leisurely to Nanbaofang after the start of this day, and enter a well-guarded mansion under the name of the Immortal Society, where the auction was held, and only guests with the level of the Immortal Society's White Divine Bead or above were allowed to enter and participate, as for the other monks, whether they had money or not, whether they were casual cultivators or famous disciples, they would not know that such a thing existed.

When Shen Shi walked to the outside of the house that was more than a hundred feet away from the branch of the Immortal Society, he almost thought that he had found the wrong place, there were only two guards standing at the door, although they looked at the two of them with excellent spirits, but they didn't seem to have the solemn scene as he imagined.

However, after inspecting the White Divine Bead and letting him in smoothly, Shen Shi walked to the courtyard behind the gate, only to find that under the secluded exterior here, there was a different world inside, and now there were many guests bustling with them, and under the walls at the edges and corners of the places, a silent and quiet guard could be seen at every distance, and it was obvious that the guard strength here was much stronger than what was seen outside.

Shen Shi sighed in his heart, and was secretly shocked by the strength of the Immortal Society again, this is just a branch of Liuyun City, but it is already a bit of strength that cannot be underestimated, if you think of the countless branches of the Immortal Society in the world, there are even more mysterious but incomparably powerful halls above the branches, this strength hidden in the shadows is really powerful, it is a little shocking.

However, no matter how powerful the immortals are, at least it seems that they have nothing to do with Shen Shi at the moment, he just sighed, and walked forward, before the auction begins, there will be a display of treasures, and some immortals will be about to sell the good things of the auction, and they will be publicly displayed to these distinguished guests who are mostly extraordinary.

It was only a few steps forward, and Shen Shi accidentally swept over a certain place in the surrounding crowd out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his body was stunned, and a somewhat familiar figure walked past the hand-copying verandah a few feet away from him.

The woman, who was smiling and charming, and whose whole person seemed to exude a thrilling and seductive beauty, reached out and lightly placed her hand on the arm of a man who was completely different from her appearance, disproportionately black, thin, short, and ugly in face, and walked together.

The contrast between beauty and ugliness was so stark that it was incompatible, but she didn't seem to feel anything, and there was nothing unusual in her eyes, just a coquettish smile. And the same thing seemed to be a casual glance back, and she also saw the man standing not far away in the courtyard outside the railing.

She seemed to be slightly stunned, lost her mind for a moment, and then smiled slightly, as delicate and beautiful as a flower, and walked over gently.

But it was Ling Chunni who had not been seen for many days.
