As one of the many Qi Refining Realm disciples who came to the Demon Island on this day, the only one who only had the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm in his Taoism, Shen Shi was also the first to come back, and those senior brothers and sisters were obviously far longer than him, so he waited for a long time on this big ship, and waited until it was almost dusk, only to see someone walking out of the dense forest on the Demon Island.

That is, after the first batch of people came back, it was like an agreement, and people began to come out of the demon island one after another and returned to the boat, Shen Shi sat on the side and looked at these senior brothers and sisters quietly, and found that they rarely traveled alone, and even the two of them were rare, and most of the time they saw several people together.

On the faces of these Qi Refining Realm disciples who went deep into the Demon Island, most of them had a tiredness that they couldn't hide, but at the same time, the loot they brought back was also a lot, Shen Shi looked at it carefully for a while, and found that it was basically within the fifty-five kinds of spiritual materials, but it looked like the value should be between ten and thirty spirit crystals, as for the high-grade spiritual materials that could be exchanged for more than fifty spirit crystals, he didn't see any of them.

However, except for a few of these Qi Refining Realm disciples who didn't seem to have a good harvest, most of them still had a somewhat satisfied smile on their faces, and they were also chatting happily with each other, or checking each other's harvested spiritual materials, smiling and talking over there.

At dusk, under the setting sun, the afterglow of the setting sun draped the deck of the big ship with a faint halo of yellow, reflecting every face with a different expression of satisfaction or a little frustration. Shen Shi smiled, and suddenly felt that this kind of life seemed to be very good, even if earlier today, he had faced a vicious demon beast.

As the last group of Qi Refining Realm disciples finally rushed back before dark, a group of four, including Chen Tang, the beautiful disciple who happened to be taken advantage of by Lin Hu during the day, the big ship finally slowly lifted anchor and turned its head to sail in the direction of Qingyu Island.

On the deck, the last group of people who came back seemed to be very familiar, and they were familiar with most of the people who came back earlier, especially the beautiful Chen Tang, who seemed to have a faint sense of being the center of the crowd, and many male disciples surrounded him and asked for warmth.

And Chen Tang and the others also chatted with everyone with a smile, and at the same time showed the spiritual materials they had harvested here, but there were not many things, and from Shen Shi's side, it seemed that there was only one from a distance. But a moment later, there was a commotion on the deck, and several people shouted:

"This thing...... Could it be the horn of the 'Earth Spirit Rhino'?"

"You can even hunt the 'Spirit Rhino Horn', Senior Sister Chen, you are too powerful!"

......

Hearing this discussion, Shen Shi, who was sitting in a remote corner on the side, was also taken aback, couldn't help but stand up and take two steps forward, took a closer look, and sure enough, in the gap in the crowd, he saw that Senior Sister Chen Tang's white palm was holding a big brown horn, about a foot long, it looked thick and heavy, and there was a faint layer of light on the horn, which looked like a good spiritual material.

Shen Shi stared at the spirit rhino horn twice, and there was a little amazement in his heart, this spirit rhino horn is unique to a demon beast called "Earth Spirit Rhino" on the demon island, it is very rare, and it ranks very high among the fifty-five kinds of spirit materials in the demon hunting list, but this spirit rhino horn can be exchanged for up to one hundred and forty spirit crystals.

However, although the spirit rhino horn is expensive, but the earth spirit rhino is a second-order demon beast, very fierce, although it has not yet reached the realm of the third-order demon beast that condenses the demon pill, but it is infinitely powerful and fierce, and has always been regarded as one of the most difficult demon beasts on the demon island, I can't imagine that Chen Tang and these four people can actually kill such a fierce demon beast.

For a while, the people around were all amazed and complimented, and Chen Tang and the other three male disciples were all smiling, obviously very satisfied with their gains.

One hundred and forty spirit crystals, Shen Shi looked at the spirit rhino horn from the side, his eyes really lit up, and he was envious, and the big ship sailed into the depths of the sea in such a cheerful and gentle atmosphere.

This day, just like that, passed quietly, Shen Shi stood back to the side of the deck ship, and occasionally looked back at the demon island, only to see that the huge island gradually disappeared into darkness in the twilight, as if it was about to fall into a quiet sleep, only a few beast roars faintly from the depths of the island reminded people that every late at night, it is the most dangerous time for this demon island.

※※※

When he returned to Qingyu Island, it was already dark, and everyone dispersed after getting off the boat, and Shen Shi also walked all the way back to Baiyu Bay holding two pieces of iron-armored armadillo bone armor.

The bay at night was peaceful and quiet, the waves surging in the boundless darkness, gently surging up to the beach and quietly receding, with starlight and broken clouds overhead, illuminating the path under his feet, guiding Shen Shi all the way back to his cave.

The two battles with the ironclad armadillo during the day exhausted his eyebrow spiritual power, but after a full day of rest on the big ship, by this time the spiritual power had completely recovered, and the human spirit was not bad. After opening the stone door and putting the two pieces of bone armor on the stone platform on the side of the cave, Shen Shi pondered for a moment, and finally turned around and walked out of the cave, but walked all the way back along the road, until he came to the "A Forty-Eight" stone chamber that was seven caves away from him.

Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu, the two sisters of the Zhong family, live in the two caves in front of them, although they have come to this Qingyu Island, they have known them in the past three years, but Shen Shi has never entered their caves, and among the two girls, of course, he is still better than Zhong Qingzhu, who has a good temper and a gentle temperament, as for Zhong Qinglu, who is short-tempered and sharp-tongued, he usually has to be sarcastic when he meets, and Shen Shi has always been a little respectful.

I just didn't expect that I would stand at Zhong Qinglu's door tonight.

Well, who made her actually have a little bit of alchemy ability!

Shen Shi thought like this in his heart, stretched out his hand and patted the stone door of Zhong Qinglu Cave Mansion a few times, and the sound of "bang" echoed in this night, low but unexpectedly clear, and it seemed to be transmitted far away, which made Shen Shi himself startled.

After a while, there was silence inside and outside the stone gate, and there was no response.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, although it was not yet late at night, but it was already night, it stands to reason that most people should be in their cave at this time. It's just that he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, in the middle of the night, he accidentally met Zhong Qinglu on the beach, could it be that this woman actually has the quirk of going out late at night......

Thinking like this in his heart, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but still raised his head and slapped on the stone door a few more times, thinking that if he didn't react this time, he would have to go back first, and come back to find Zhong Qinglu tomorrow during the day.

Knock knock, this time louder than before, in the quiet of the night, and then there was a dull low voice like some kind of crackle, and suddenly came.

"Bang!"

Shen Shi was taken aback, turned around and looked around, only to see that everything around was as usual, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual, and he was surprised, when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound, and the stone door in front of him suddenly opened.

Shen Shi took a step back, feeling a little nervous inexplicably, looking at the stone door that had been moved in front of him, and sure enough, he saw a figure standing behind the door.

Shen Shigan laughed and said, "Senior Sister Zhong, I took the liberty of coming to disturb you, I came to ...... you Huh?"

His voice suddenly stopped abruptly, and he stared at the girl in front of him with wide eyes, and he was speechless for a while.

Standing behind the door is naturally Zhong Qinglu, the owner of this cave, with a slender and beautiful figure, he is a familiar figure on weekdays, but at this moment, half of his face is dyed with black and gray, and his face is half black and half white, which is extremely weird and a little funny.

Zhong Qinglu stood coldly at the door, staring straight at Shen Shi with a pair of bright eyes, and he was a little hairy in his heart, and after a while, he heard Zhong Qinglu say coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Shen Shigan laughed, and wanted to look away, but he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhong Qinglu's strange face, and said, "I heard that you have recently refined a furnace of 'Qi Nourishing Pill', and I want to ...... it."

Zhong Qinglu stared at him, his eyes were not good, and that gaze somehow always made Shen Shi feel much more powerful than usual, like a knife, and he couldn't talk for a while.

After a while, Zhong Qinglu gritted his teeth and said, "I have refined the Qi Nourishing Pill, what does it matter to you?"

"Uh......" Shen Shi really didn't know how to interface for a while, although he also knew that Zhong Qinglu had a bad temper on weekdays, but tonight she seemed to be in a weird angry mood, and every word she spoke was full of guns, which really made him feel the urge to turn around and leave.

It's just that everyone has come, and they are also standing in front of the door of Zhong Qinglu's stone room, Shen Shi sighed in his heart, thinking that he still had to make it clear after speaking, even if Zhong Qinglu had a strange temper and didn't dump himself at all, it would not be too late to leave at that time, after all, he still wanted that Qi Nourishing Pill very urgently in his heart.

Coughing at the moment, Shen Shi stiffened his head and said, "Senior Sister Zhong, I want to buy some Qi Nourishing Pill from you." ”

Zhong Qinglu stared at him for a while, without saying a word, but the look in her eyes and on her face was extremely difficult to see, and it seemed that she might rush out and kick Shen Shi's leg directly in the next moment, which made Shen Shi feel a little frightened, but Zhong Qinglu didn't do it in the end, on the contrary, she suddenly let go, her face was like frost, and she pointed to the stone room behind her, and said, "The Qi Nourishing Pill you want is there." ”

Shen Shi was stunned, and didn't react for a while What Zhong Qinglu meant, and then looked in the direction of her finger into the stone room, and was immediately taken aback, only to see a two-foot Dan furnace placed on the ground in the middle of the stone room of the cave, which was not big, it should be the smallest Dan furnace in the Dan Hall, and it was specially used by disciples who were new to learning alchemy.

It's just that at this moment, this Dan furnace looks miserable, dumped on the ground, not to mention, there are still a few obvious cracks on the furnace body, the ground is sprinkled with debris black ash, from the half-inclined furnace mouth, there are several black round things rolling down to the ground, a scorching smell wafts around.

"This ......" Shen Shi suddenly had a feeling in his heart that something was wrong, and sweat was faintly visible on his forehead.
