Chapter 15: Old Wounds
In fact, Shen Chai didn't have to choose such a sinister Red Flame Sand Land as his refining place, and he could also slow down the consumption of secret medicine.
But with less than two weeks to go before the trial conference, he really didn't have time to carefully plan to find the best place and then slowly temper it. So he hardened his head, drove the ducks to the shelves, and rushed into the red sand.
The result is obvious, Shen Chai, who returned after two days, suddenly found that there were more people in this Desert Sword City, but this was not what he cared about, what he cared about was the nameless shop in the corner of the east of the city, and the black-faced shopkeeper was still not there.
The front of the nameless shop was still deserted, and it looked a little out of place compared to the fiery scene on the streets and alleys, but Shen Chai didn't think there was anything strange, because the last time he was here, it was also the same scene.
But unlike last time, there was a person standing in the store today, looking like a customer, looking at the medicinal herbs and ores on the cabinets. The man was tall and thin, dressed in a long robe, and in this small town in the north of the desert, he was a little different.
After glancing at it, his gaze returned to the black-faced shopkeeper, Xiong Yan had already seen Shen Chai, but he smiled and didn't speak, the two looked at each other and stood still for a few seconds, I don't know how many clues the two of them guessed in each other in these few seconds.
As if sensing the subtle atmosphere in the air, the tall and thin man in the store turned around and looked at it as well.
Sure enough, it was Shen Chai who opened his mouth first: "I want to talk to you about a business." ”
"What business?" Xiong Yan smiled, not in a hurry to wait for the following.
"If you can provide me with all the medicinal materials, I can give you a share of the secret medicine that will be refined in the future. ”
Xiong Yan shook his head. And the people on the side thought that it was really so.
Shen Chai narrowed his eyes and said, "Two percent?"
"No, it's not a matter of a few percent, it's not a matter of the spirit jade liquid at all. Xiong Yan spoke, finally planning to introduce the topic to the point.
Shen Chai frowned and said nothing, he could see that this black-faced boss must have been waiting for him, and looking at his ecstatic appearance when he got the spirit jade liquid that day, it stands to reason that it should be an unbelievable situation, how could it be different today?
In fact, Shen Chaichai's eight or nine were not far from ten, but after Xiong Yan got the spirit jade liquid that day, he couldn't help but show joy, because he thought that the secret medicine could help him get rid of a long-term secret wound in his body, but it didn't help at all, so naturally he would not crave the spirit jade liquid anymore.
"Let's open it up, you and I should both know that the secret medicine is called Lingyu Liquid, and it comes from the Barbarian Star Hall in the southern part of the continent. ”
"I know with the help of body refining, but after I got the medicine that day, I found that it was actually useless to me at all, but if you can refine the secret medicine of the higher order of the Barbarian Star Palace, that is, the Ten Thousand Secretions, of course I can provide you with all the refining materials until you are able to refine your body. ”
"What do you think?" Xiong Yan was unpredictable, looking at Shen Chai and said leisurely.
In fact, the reason why the two of them tacitly avoided talking about the truth of the spirit jade liquid when they met for the first time was not only because they wanted to hide their identities, but also because this belonged to one of the legends of the Barbarian Star Palace.
The so-called secret medicine is like this, but at this moment, Xiong Yan has already figured out the little Jiujiu between the two, and Shen Chai can't continue to pretend to be stupid.
There was no need to care about anything, he knew that this extremely shrewd shopkeeper would never reveal his bottom casually, or if outsiders knew about it, so the tall and thin man in the store who was looking at this side must also be his person.
But what Shen Chai didn't know was that before Xiong Yan spoke, he had already used his star power to isolate this space, and even if the Sword Emperor was here, he might not be able to get a glimpse of the conversation in it.
However, after the showdown, he did so many things and planned for a long time, and under Xiong Yan's great expectations, Shen Chai's reply was like a basin of cold water poured over.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I won't refine the Ten Thousand Secretions of the Barbarian Star Palace. Shen Chai shook his head.
"How so!?"
Xiong Yan was stunned and asked rhetorically. He originally thought that Shen Chai was a person from the Barbarian Star Palace, an outcast, even if he was an outcast, he had already taught the two secret medicine refining methods of the body refining, so he must also know the refining method of the Ten Thousand Secretions, otherwise, a kid with no star power, how could he get the secret of the Star Palace?
Because of the value of the spirit jade liquid, with this inference, Xiong Yan was also very confident in his own insight, but he never expected that Shen Chai was a reincarnated person.
Seeing the reaction of the black-faced shopkeeper, Shen Chai naturally understood his thoughts, so he had to shake his head secretly and said, "I really don't know. ”
Xiong Yan was full of disappointment, waved his hand, and signaled that Shen Chai could leave, and the two could also be regarded as if they had never seen each other.
However, Shen Chai didn't turn around, but stared at the other party's eyes and said, "I think even if it is a higher-order ten thousand secretions, it actually has no effect on promoting your ascension." Basic potions like that..."
"Unless... You're going to use it to repair some kind of special wound on your body. Shen Chai continued, Xiong Yan paused, slightly puzzled, and as if he had a premonition of something, he motioned to the young man to continue with noncommittal eyes.
"Can I see that wound of yours?"
How Shen Chai saw Xiong Yan's strength realm, and how to accurately say the crux of his problem, I think there is no way to know, after all, he is now just an ordinary person whose strength realm is quite low.
Maybe he guessed, because it was impossible for him to go to Mo Xiaoyu to borrow the star stone again, and the journey of refining the body must continue, so he gambled on it.
But no matter what, Shen Chai has understood the crux of the problem and has a breakthrough to reverse this negotiation.
....
Half a moment later, the three of them came to a secret room, and strangely enough, the man in the robe did not speak, but followed them from a distance, like a looming shadow.
The secret room was in the basement of a mansion, with a lot of space, and some objects like torture tools were randomly placed everywhere, but Shen Chai knew that of course those were not torture tools, but special body refining tools. It's the kind he can't play with right now.
And in the secret room compartment, there is a red room, even if you don't lean over, you can feel the heat there, and from time to time there is a heat wave churning out, I don't know what it is.
I saw Xiong Yan take off his shirt and sit on the ground, and then began to carry the exercises, and a desolate aura spread throughout the secret room.
Although the terrifying scars on Xiong Yan's body made Shen Chai take a snack, the appearance of this desolate aura was completely expected, because this was the breath that belonged to the Barbarian Star Palace.
Ordinary people can't see or smell, that is, Shen Chai has been in contact with it, so he can be so keenly aware of it.
"Drink!" Xiong Yan's two fingers changed in his food, from the Tianshu acupoint to the dantian under his abdomen, and suddenly there was a glimmer of light, which appeared in his body, which was the power of the majestic stars.
The power of those stars melted into every bone, flesh, and meridian, shining little by little, but at the left waist, an abrupt dark red crossed the entire back.
Shen chased forward to take a closer look, and could also find a blood-red line, in that dark red, it seemed to be spiritual, constantly wandering, impacting the surroundings, but fortunately, Xiong Yan used the power of the stars to build a cage next to it and trap it.
It seems that this is the injury on Xiong Yan's body, but what is this!? Shen Chai couldn't help but frown, the imprint was very deep, very deep.
