Killing God

Fireball is the lowest level of first-level spells among the five elements. Under normal circumstances, for monks who have practiced Taoism, especially monks whose realm has reached the Yuan Condensation Realm, the power of this spell can no longer cause too much damage. threatened.It's just that at this moment, Shen Shi is still just an ordinary boy who hasn't started to practice. He saw a blazing fireball rushing towards him, the heat wave was rolling, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but his body didn't seem to react as much as he thought. Hurry up, he only made a slight dodge, but he couldn't dodge the fireball at all, and he was about to be hit by the fireball in person.

At this moment, the angle of the fireball seemed to be suddenly deviated, tilted towards the right side of his head, Kankan just rushed past his shoulder, and hit him behind him with a "bang" after a while On the branches of an old tree in the yard, there was a crackling and roaring, and the flames lit up, scorching a branch and leaf.

Shen Shi couldn't help but stepped back a few steps to the side, turned his head to look at the smoking and burning branches of the old tree, and couldn't help feeling lingering in his heart. At this moment, the butcher's laughter came from behind him, saying: "How about it?" , how about this fireball?"

Shen Shi glanced at him angrily, but still said honestly: "It scared me, but it seems to be quite powerful."

The butcher smiled, shook his head and said, "It just looks good." He glanced at Shen Shi and said, "I know your father asked you to copy and draw talismans since you were a child, but this side-track way consumes your mind and energy. Not to mention, it’s not very useful, in the future when you join Ling Xiaozong, I think it’s better not to waste unnecessary energy on it.”

Shen Shi nodded, and said: "Yes, I know." In fact, both he and his fat father Shen Tai knew this truth to some extent, but Shen Tai's qualifications in cultivation were too poor back then. , apart from side-by-side ways such as talisman, it can't teach Shen Shi anything.

Looking up at the sky, I saw the blue sky was high and wide, with a few white clouds floating in the sky, and there were faint and crisp birdsong in the distance, which should be seabirds flying in the sea breeze.Floating Cloud City is located on the shore of the sea, and you can see the endless sea not far from the city.

Shen Shi took a deep breath, only felt that the air was fresh, which made his body feel more comfortable, then turned to the butcher and asked, "Uncle, what else do we have to do today?"

The butcher thought for a while and said, "I'm fine today. I'll go to the branch store in this city later, and I want to get a token back. I'll take you to worship the fairy rock outside the city tomorrow, and I'll see you off this time." Even if the task is completed."

Shen Shi let out a "huh", paused for a moment, and said with a bit of expectation: "Uncle, since I'm free today and there's nothing left and right, I want to take a look around in Liuyun City."

The butcher was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, then smiled and said: "Well, anyway, this place is thousands of miles away from Yinzhou, forgive him no matter how long his hands are in the Xuanyin sect, he can't get up here. "

Shen Shi smiled without saying a word, then the butcher went into the house to tidy up casually, then came out and took Shen Shi out.It's just that when walking out of the gate, Shen Shi followed behind the butcher, and suddenly asked him, saying:

"Uncle, when I first met you a few years ago, were you already a member of the Immortal Society?"

The butcher's footsteps paused slightly, and he glanced at the young man beside him in a blink of an eye, only to see that Shen Shi's expression was as usual, looking forward, it seemed that he just asked such a question inadvertently.After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "That's right."

Shen Shi gave a light "Oh" and didn't say anything more.

The house where the two of them lived was located in the south of Floating Cloud City. The butcher took Shen Shi along a street, and saw that the surroundings suddenly became lively, and several streets appeared in front of him at the same time. There were so many monks, Shen Shi couldn't help but stop, looking at the scene in front of him, he felt amazed.

Pick a random street here, it looks a bit more prosperous than the Horseshoe Street in Xilu City, Yinzhou, not to mention several streets gathered together, and there are many monks in front of you, and there are many people in strange clothes. I saw a lot of weirdos with strange pets.

The butcher pointed forward with a smile, and said: "This is the Nanbaofang of Floating Cloud City. In addition, there are similar squares and markets in the east, west and north of the city, where spiritual material merchants gather. , is the most prosperous city among the sixteen states in the south of the Hongmeng Realms, and no matter how rare and rare spiritual treasures are, they can basically be found in this Floating Cloud City."

Shen Shi nodded again and again, perhaps because he grew up in a big shop like Tianyilou, in his bones he had a natural sense of closeness to this bustling and bustling market, so he smiled and said: "It's really lively. In comparison, I feel that the side of Xilu City is the countryside."

The butcher laughed loudly and said, "That's how it is."

Said, the two walked forward together, the butcher led Shen Shi into a wide street, walked through the crowd for more than a hundred feet, and Shen Shi saw a towering pavilion in front of him, solemn and spacious. The monks came and went in the store, and the three big characters of the Immortal Society were impressively written on the door plaque.

The butcher stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said to Shen Shi: "I'm going in to do something, you can just wander around here, I'll wait for you at the door in two hours, okay?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

The butcher reminded him again, saying: "Tomorrow we are going to worship Xianyan, so you should be careful at this juncture, don't delay the big event."

Shen Shi smiled and said, "I know."

The butcher also seemed to know Shen Shi's surname, so he was not too worried about him. He pointed to the front of the street and said, "The five streets in Nanbaofang are very lively, and there are many shops. In addition, if you go north, there is also a Nantianmen, which is an open space near the lake. The site is not small. It is the usual practice for many casual practitioners to set up stalls to sell spiritual materials, but there are good and bad among them, and there are many fakes , but there are often people who find some good treasures." After that, he smiled and glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "You little guy is well-known in Xilu City for your bad eyesight. If you are free, you can also go there and have a look."

Shen Shi didn't expect the butcher to have heard of his little reputation in the past, so he chuckled and said, "Understood, thank you uncle."

The butcher turned around and walked into the bustling shop of the Immortal Club, before disappearing into the crowd in a blink of an eye.Shen Shi stood on the street, for a moment, in the crowded and lively crowd, suddenly felt a moment of bewilderment, alone, far away, in this strange city, and the home in his hometown where he lived for 12 years, It is long gone now.

He shook his head, pulled himself together, turned and walked forward.

Floating Cloud City is known as the big city in the south, the most prosperous and prosperous city, it really lives up to its reputation.Shen Shi only walked in this Nanbaofang for a while. After looking at seven or eight shops, he saw many rare and rare spiritual treasures. The required resources can almost be collected in such a place, of course, the premise is that you need to have enough spirit crystals.

However, compared to the spiritual materials in Xilu City, the price of spiritual materials in Floating Cloud City seems to be [-]-[-]% cheaper.

In the shop after shop, among the bustling crowds, Shen Shi had a feeling of familiarity from the bottom of his heart, as if he had returned to the city where he had lived for 12 years, to the familiar city. The first floor of the sky.

He was very interested and in a good mood. After looking at each family, they quickly confirmed that in this Nanbaofang, as long as the shops that seem to be not small in size, all kinds of spiritual materials sold are almost genuine. Yes, during this process, he also saw a lot of rare spiritual materials that he had only read in books but never seen in Xilu City in the past, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Walking around like this, it took an hour before Shen Shi finished looking around a street in Nanbaofang.When he walked back to the street again, he saw a small lake suddenly appearing in front of him. The lake water was clear and there were more than a dozen lotus leaves of different heights scattered on the edge.It is still late spring and not yet in midsummer, so the lotus in the lake has not yet bloomed.But in this place by the lake, under a tall archway, in the open space of the boss, there is another lively scene. Countless monks gather here, bustling like a busy city, presumably this is the Nantianmen that the butcher said before.

I saw a lot of shops and shops in Xilu City, but it was the first time for Shen Shi to see so many casual cultivators gathering at the newsstand, so he couldn't help but feel a little curious, and walked over.

After walking for a while in the open space of Nantianmen, Shen Shi saw that there were many rogue cultivators setting up stalls for sale. Most of them just circled a small area casually. The spiritual materials and treasures for sale were placed on the ground, and they were sold there.

After turning around like this for half a circle, Shen Shi more or less understood this place. The casual cultivators who sell things here can look like anything, some look distressed, and some look very bold His tone was strange, and as for the spiritual materials that everyone was peddling, after looking carefully at them for a while with his eyesight, he realized that, as the butcher said, the spiritual materials peddled by casual cultivators here were far inferior to those in those large shops. There are countless fakes and fakes mixed in, but there are also some genuine spiritual materials. For example, he saw a few second-grade spiritual grasses at a certain booth before, and there was another loose repair pocket The few strange stones sold are also rare second-grade spiritual mines, which are indeed good things, and most importantly, the price of spiritual materials here in Nantianmen will be at least half cheaper than in shops.

In this way, as long as the eyesight is good enough, you can find a lot of good things in this lively place.

However, although Shen Shi has good eyesight and has seen a few good spiritual materials, he has no intention of buying them. First, he bought these spiritual materials and they are useless. Second, he only has three spiritual materials on his body now. Lingjing, he really couldn't afford something a little better.

But anyway, Nantianmen is here, and there is no way to escape. After joining Lingxiaozong in the future, I can find a way to get more spirit crystals, and then I can come to Taobao.

Shen Shi comforted himself in this way in his heart, but at the same time, his interest did not diminish at all, and he walked briskly around this Nantianmen where there were many casual practitioners.

As he walked, he was stopping at a booth to look at a spiritual herb, weighing in his mind whether it was the rare second-grade spiritual grass "Tian Luo Ye", or another similar first-grade low-grade spiritual grass " "Black Star Orchid", I heard a soft voice from the booth not far from the next door. How polite, said:

"Old man, how much spirit crystal does this ore sell for?"

Shen Shi subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a tall and thin man standing in front of the booth next door, with raised eyebrows, his description was extremely haggard and emaciated, he looked like a skeleton with only a layer of skin on it, it was really impressive Some sense of horror.

Shen Shi only took one look, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He quickly looked away, secretly dumbfounded, thinking that there are still people who have such a strange appearance, and at the same time, he followed the stall owner over there to talk to that strange person With his words, he glanced at the booth over there.

The stall owner seemed to be a casual cultivator with average wealth. On the stall in front of him were sparsely placed more than a dozen pieces of spiritual materials for sale, a few bottles and jars, a few spiritual herbs, a few stones, and a Two pieces of spirit bones and skins of monsters are exactly the portrayal of most casual cultivators who set up stalls along this road. They have everything, but the quantity is not much. Because of embarrassment, they will try their best to collect any spiritual materials with a little value. , in order to exchange for some spiritual crystals to continue to practice.

But their voices were a little louder at the moment, and the focus of the debate was a khaki stone on the stall. From the stall owner's point of view, it was a second-grade spiritual mine "topitrine" with a wide range of uses, especially for forging fairy stones. When it was a magic weapon, it was a kind of earth-type spiritual material that was quite easy to use, so the price was very high.

After observing for a while, the weirdo seemed to confirm the authenticity of this piece of topaz, but he doubted the quality of the piece in front of him. He insisted that it was not only the ten spirit crystals opened by the stall owner, but only two spirit crystals to buy.

The two bargained for a long time on the sidelines, their respective psychological prices were too far apart, and they couldn't reach an agreement. The stall owner was a broad-faced man, who seemed a little anxious, and he was arguing with the weird man without saying anything. He also waved his arms to increase his tone, accidentally swept across the booth, and even knocked over a small can next to him, without paying attention.

With palms turned, the small pot fell to the ground and rolled a few times, the bottom of the pot flashed in Shen Shi's sight, and a broken pattern that had been eroded a lot appeared in front of his eyes.

Shen Shi turned his head slowly, still looking at the spiritual herb in front of him that had not been clearly distinguished, but suddenly frowned, thoughtfully.
