Killing God

Another year passed, and this round of newcomer disciples came to the mountain gate to cultivate, and it was the last and most critical time. However, although there are many newcomers and disciples on Herring Island, by this time, everyone has gradually separated into different levels, and most of them have understood their respective talents after four years of cultivation.

As for Wang Gen and other high-ranking members of the Lingxiao Sect, in this fifth year, they have focused more on those who are at the high level of the Qi Refining Realm among the newcomer disciples.

Today, at the beginning of the fifth year, the number of newcomer disciples who have cultivated to the high level of Qi Refining on Qingyu Island has already reached 46.This number far exceeds the average level of previous years. It can be said that they are truly geniuses and star-studded newcomers. Even on Jinhong Mountain, those high-ranking elders of the Yuandan Realm are all turning their attention to Herring Island at this moment. .

If there is no accident, this year must be a year of colorful and talented people, and it will be of great benefit in the future if they can spot the talents before and win them over to join their faction.According to common sense, basically all talents will also appear among these 46 people.

Shen Shi, one of these 46 people, has also received some attention, but his cultivation speed is outstanding compared to those in previous years, but among this group of new disciples this year, he can only be said to be ordinary , is not particularly noticeable.Among the influential figures on Herring Island, Gan Ze is of course second to none. It is said that senior brother Wang Gen personally saw him a few days ago, and said that the spiritual power in his body is solid and thick, like rolling clouds, and it is the dantian that is about to be opened. In Yu Mansion, there are signs of gathering the spiritual power of the whole body, and the Yuan Condensation Realm seems to be approaching.

In addition to Gan Ze, there are also several newcomers who are also very popular for a while. Among them, the most popular dark horse is Zhong Qingzhu. Breaking through the Yuan Condensation Realm will bring her under the door.

In addition, there are three or four talented young heroes who are dazzling and greedy. Even the remaining top ten or even top twenty rookie disciples are also favored by many elders. The sect elders on Qingyu Island really don't need too many.

In the list of 46 people, Shen Shi calculated in private, and found that there were as many as 22 children from the vassal family of the Lingxiaozong, accounting for almost half. It can be seen that these vassal families are not all useless people, on the contrary After occupying all kinds of favorable conditions and places, it is indeed that disciples with this kind of background are more likely to succeed in the process of cultivation.

Most of the famous descendants he knew in the past were on the list of 46 people this time, including Sun You's elder brother Sun Heng, Hou Yuanliang from the Hou family, and the two sisters from the Zhong family, etc. Hou Sheng, who was at odds with him, was actually on this list.It's just that in the past few years, he has rarely communicated with the children of these aristocratic families, and he has no contact with them on weekdays, just like strangers.

Compared with the increasingly enthusiastic atmosphere of the trip to Herring Island, where everyone was waiting for the doomed chaos in the last year, Shen Shi's mood was affected a little, but he was still calm.Although he is also very eager to break through to the Yuan Condensation Realm to worship under a certain Dazheng as soon as possible, and the future is bright and immortal, but it's just thinking about it, he still has self-knowledge, knowing that he can't match Gan Ze, Zhong Qingzhu and others are on a par.

But speaking of it, Shen Shi really heard that someone asked his name on Jinhong Mountain. He heard the news from Zhang Yihui from the Hall of Five Elements, and later from Xu Yanzhi on the big boat to Yao Island. It was confirmed, neither of them said which senior elder it was, but looking at their smiling faces, Shen Shi probably also guessed in his heart that the old man was an elder in the art hall.

It is also true, although the current round of newcomer disciples are constantly emerging like stars, but they have a preference for making achievements or even showing interest in the five elements of magic. After counting and counting, as far as Shen Shi knows, it seems to be true. It's just him alone.

Everyone is a genius with a bright future. In the future, there will be a lot of exquisite and powerful divine channel techniques to practice. Who would spend time on a side path like the Five Elements technique, which is generally powerful but extremely difficult?

Thinking of this, Shen Shi felt a little helpless in his heart, coupled with the lack of people in the Shutang these days, he hesitated about whether he should join the Shutang in the future.

After all, the orthodoxy of cultivating immortals today is to cultivate all kinds of magical powers of Taoism after the Yuan Condensation Realm. Picking any one at random seems to be more reliable than the five elements.

※※※

On the fourth day of April, it was sunny.

On this day, Shen Shi got on the boat bound for Yao Island again. Compared with the past, the number of people on the big boat at this time decreased sharply. Except for him, there were only a few senior brothers who were older than him on the boat.And there were none of his newcomer disciples in his childhood, including Gan Ze who had been walking with him before.

As for the reason, Shen Shi knew that when the deadline was approaching, all the newcomer disciples were cultivating crazily, even if they were not practicing, they had to calm down and do everything that was beneficial to their cultivation.However, going to Demon Island to hunt monsters is a very risky person. If he was injured on Demon Island at this critical moment, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

As for Gan Ze, who has always insisted on going to Yao Island with Shen Shi, it is because today is indeed the critical moment of breakthrough, so he had to stop coming to Yao Island.It seemed that this talented young man was about to be the first among many new disciples to break through to the Yuan Condensation Realm.

Shen Shi couldn't even imagine that when Gan Ze was the first to break through the Yuan Condensation Realm, how many elders on Jinhong Mountain would quarrel endlessly in order to accept him as a disciple?

"Could it be that he will fight for this kid in the end?" Shen Shi stood on the deck and looked into the distance, looking at the rippling sea, thinking unkindly in his heart, then he shook his head and laughed.

The sea water is very clear, especially when the big boat arrives at Yaodao, and when you get off the boat and stand on the seawall, you can even see the deep seabed, patches of floating seaweed, and strangely shaped corals.

Just no fish.

Not a single fish.

For more than two years, there has been this strange phenomenon in the waters around Herring Six Island, because Shen Shi had been to the Red Clam Village earlier than others, and Shen Shi knew about this phenomenon from the population of the Red Clam, including In the future, it will become more and more serious, and the strange appearance of fish can't be seen at all in the hundreds of miles of sea around today.

Red Clam Village sacrificed to the Sea God for this, but it was useless. The Pig-headed Dragon Sea God seemed to ignore them; and the elders on Jinhong Mountain also went down to the surrounding sea area to check, but they also couldn't find out why. .However, apart from the disappearance of the fish in the surrounding waters, there is nothing unusual around Qingyu Island. However, after the Red Clams went out to sea a hundred miles away, they found that the seas there were normal and they could catch fish.

So in the past two years, everyone has gradually gotten used to this weird appearance. Now every time the Red Clams go fishing, they have to go to seas hundreds of miles away, and gradually no one goes around the Herring Six Island. Pay attention to the disappearing fish here.

Shen Shi stared at this piece of sea water, suddenly remembered this incident for no reason, only to realize that he hadn't paid attention to those disappeared schools of fish for a long time, and now he is busy every day boringly but fulfillingly, whether it is cultivation or Zhifu, or came to Yaodao to hunt, it has been a long time since I have been to Red Clam Village.

I don't know how the starfish is now, is it more beautiful, and the red shell on her body must be more eye-catching.

Shen Shi thought so in his heart, and decided that after going back this time, he still had to find some time to go to Hongceng Village to see starfish.

After going to the island, the older disciples took a look at Shen Shi who was standing alone, and there was a complex look in their eyes. No one had the intention of chatting. After a while, they all walked into the island. In that dense forest.

It is already Shen Shi's fifth year on Qingyu Island, and at this time, the old disciple who is still on the mission of hunting monsters on Qingyu Island is equivalent to staying on Qingyu Island for ten years but still unable to break through refining Qi Basically speaking, the gate of Xiuxian Avenue has been closed to these people.

And looking at Shen Shi's age and his high-level Qi Refining Realm, in any case, Shen Shi's future will be very different from these senior brothers, so their eyes on Shen Shi are very complicated, with envy and envy Jealousy, but in the end they all left silently.

Shen Shi stared at the sea for a while, and when he came back to his senses, there was no one around, and those senior brothers had already walked into the depths of the dense forest along that path.Shen Shi pondered for a moment, but decided not to go the same way with them, so he walked along the beach, and after walking for a long distance, he looked around, and then walked into the woods.

Over the past two years, he has hardly interrupted his hunting career on the Demon Island. Shen Shi has become more and more familiar with this Demon Island. Incomparably proficient, in terms of actual combat ability alone, I am afraid that no one on Qingyu Island can beat him except Gan Ze.

In the recent days, Shen Shi's Taoism has improved again, and the spiritual power accumulated in the eyebrow hole has become stronger. Now he can cast eight first-order five-element spells at a time. If converted into talismans, it is equal to one In one battle, his spiritual power is enough to cast forty first-order spell talismans.

But despite this, Shen Shi still maintained a cautious attitude on this demon island. He has always only hunted monsters in the vast forest at the foot of the mountain. , not to mention being close to the monster hunting cave hidden deep in the mountains.

Speaking of which, since Gan Ze and Lin Hu had an accident there two years ago, few people went to the Monster Hunting Cave, and there is still no news of the missing Lin Hu and Niu Xiong.

On this day, Shen Shi walked into the forest with the same mood as when he came here, looking for some monsters that he could deal with, defeating them with talismans, and getting spiritual materials back to exchange for spirit crystals.

The reason why he still came here when other people were extinct in Yaodao was actually very simple. Just last night, he just gave Zhong Qinglu a spirit crystal for the ninth refining of Peiyuan Pill.

In the deal between him and Zhong Qinglu, although he paid a lot of spiritual crystals at the beginning, after Zhong Qinglu's alchemy skills matured, in fact, Shen Shi also gained a lot, and Zhong Qinglu obeyed all the batches of qi-nourishing pills. The promise was handed over to him without hesitation, and in the end Shen Shi himself had reached the point where he could eat Qi Yang Dan as a snack.

During the days when he was able to advance to the middle and high ranks of the Qi Refining Realm, his Taoism progressed so fast, and a large number of sufficient Qi Yang Pills contributed to his assistance, and he was able to recover his spiritual power and make talismans on weekdays. played a big role.It is precisely because an alchemist can have such a great effect, and Peiyuan Dan is a higher-level panacea than Yangqi Pill, and it will be more effective in the future, so even though Zhong Qinglu failed in alchemy in the past, Shen Shi still insisted on secretly funding Ling Crystal in her.

It's just...eighty spirit crystals at a time, the pressure is really great!

"If you kill a few more monsters today and go back to exchange for more spirit crystals, it's better not to come here during the critical period of the fifth year. After all, it's a bit risky..."

Before walking into the clear and quiet forest, Shen Shi subconsciously looked up at the mountains in the center of the Yao Island in the distance, and such a thought crossed his mind.

And as if echoing his thoughts, a shrill scream came from a distant unknown mountain range, echoing in the mountains.
