Killing God

Chapter 2 Appreciation of Fruits

In today's world, the immortals in the worlds of Hongmeng are flourishing. Ever since the human race overthrew the rule of the Yaozu who was in full swing thousands of years ago, on the basis of those handed down through the spirit crystals to absorb the spiritual power of the heavens and the earth in order to practice all kinds of immortal magical powers, all kinds of magical powers have emerged. Such complicated, magical and powerful Taoism supernatural powers were all created during the long ten thousand years, through the whimsical ideas of countless strange people and painstaking research.Today's Hongmeng Human Cultivation World is indeed a prosperous scene where a hundred flowers bloom.

However, after the human race drove away the demon clan to dominate the worlds of Hongmeng, to this day, it has not formed a court like the heavenly demon royal family that ruled the world like the previous generation of demon clan. , replaced the rule of the former Yaozu, and became the most powerful force in the worlds of Hongmeng.

Cultivators, commonly known as monks, are the most awe-inspiring identities in this prosperous era. Even in the hearts of ordinary people, the relationship that can be involved with the realm of comprehension has been called immortal fate. This shows that some.

Against this background, the cultivators in the worlds of Hongmeng are naturally innumerable like crucian carp crossing the river, thus also forming those mysterious and magical, magnificent and colorful cultivation worlds in the hearts of ordinary people.Among them, those wealthy and powerful factions headed by the "Four Righteous and Seven Profound" in the main world of Hongmeng are naturally the most powerful group of people in this Hongmeng continent.But beyond that, there are many more and countless ordinary people.Yes, even in the cultivation world, compared to those famous disciples, there are still monks who are living a miserable life, commonly known as loose cultivators, who are struggling to survive and pursue their dream of immortality and longevity.

The population of loose cultivators is extremely large, and no one knows how many there are, but it is generally believed that among the huge number of monks in the cultivation world, the lowest-ranking casual cultivators account for at least half of all monks.These casual cultivators all have their own origins, some of them got a secret book of introductory Taoism from nowhere, or they got lucky with the treasures of heaven and earth and got a whole body of Taoism. People who cultivate and walk the rivers and lakes have all sorts of strange reasons, and their origins are omnipresent. This can be regarded as a special and bizarre scene in the realm of comprehension in the Hongmeng world.

As for the shop on the first floor of Shenjiatian, which sells all kinds of spiritual materials and treasures for cultivation, the main source of customers is these casual practitioners who seem to be everywhere and endless.

Right now, Shen Shi walked briskly to the long counter on the west side of Tianyilou. At this time, there were already many people standing on both sides of the counter. There are all kinds of people, most of them are casual cultivators, and a few of them seem to be very imposing. I don't know if they are disciples from several nearby cultivation sects. In the bustling city, all kinds of spiritual materials are the most complete. Some monks who are disciples of some sects often come to Xilu City to look for things that are urgently needed, important or not.

The little red girl who called Shen Shi just now was standing in a corner of the counter, and there was a man standing outside the counter.After calling Shen Shi over, Xiao Hong first smiled, seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Shi, this customer wants to sell a 'black copper fruit', but I am not very familiar with this kind of spiritual fruit. , can you help me take a look?"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Okay."

But at this moment, a stunned but slightly angry voice came from the side, saying: "Is there any mistake, how do you do business in Tianyilou, let alone you don't understand this black copper fruit, and now you are looking for it?" Come a furry boy to appraise my rare spirit fruit, something is wrong, right?"

Shen Shi turned his head to look, and saw that the person who spoke was the one standing opposite Xiao Hong just now, a middle-aged man, dressed in average clothes, there were already many wrinkles between the corners of the eyes and eyebrows on his face, he looked like a The casual cultivator, who had been frustrated for many years, was staring at him and Xiaohong with a bit of anger on his face at this moment.

Shen Shi hesitated to speak, but Xiao Hong had been on the first floor for several years, and she was also experienced in dealing with these casual cultivators, so she was not angry at the moment, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be angry, this guest officer, don't be angry. It seems that Xiao Shitou is not very old, but he is the only son of the shopkeeper of Tianyilou, and he grew up in Tianyilou. Among other things, there are all kinds of rare and rare things in this building. This little guy has seen more than anyone else, and he has learned from a few old people in the building for several years. Now his eyes are poisonous. Even Elder Song from Xuanyinmen came to see him once. I am amazed, I told us long ago, if you meet someone who is hesitant, just come and ask our young master."

After hearing this, Sanxiu's anger subsided slightly, but there was still a bit of suspicion between his brows and eyes, he sized Shen Shi up and down, obviously he didn't fully believe what Little Red Girl said.

Shen Shi was not angry, and looked at Xiao Hong, thinking that this person is probably a casual cultivator who came to Xilu City from other places. You may have heard of the name of the small stone in the building.

At the moment, Shen Shi didn't pay any attention to the suspicious eyes of the casual cultivator, and leaned against the counter, saying to Xiaohong: "Where are the things, show me first."

Xiaohong turned her head to look at the casual cultivator, and said, "Guest officer?"

The rogue cultivator hesitated for a moment, frowned, and finally reached out with some reluctance to take out a wooden box from his bosom, placed it on the flat cabinet lightly and preciously, and said, "Look at it. " After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly said, "Just look at it, children, don't touch it with your hands, or you will lose the aura of the spirit fruit or damage this rare fruit. The treasures I have seen, I will not give up with you!"

Shen Shi took a look at the middle-aged casual cultivator, smiled and agreed, then took the wooden box and put it on the counter without leaving the counter. After a slight pause, he released the loose buckle and opened the wooden box.

As the lid of the wooden box was opened, a faint fruity fragrance faintly wafted out of the wooden box. Under the gaze of the three of them, the wooden box was covered with several layers of soft blue satin, parked in the middle. A black fruit the size of a thumb, dark blue and deep in color, round and plump in appearance, with shiny skin and a faint black light, which is quite attractive.

Shen Shi's eyes were bright, and he looked at the black fruit carefully, but he didn't intend to touch it with his hands, but just stared at it silently, as if thinking.On the contrary, the middle-aged man who was a casual cultivator was in a hurry, and after waiting for a while, he said impatiently: "Well, my black copper fruit is not bad, it was my narrow escape from death in Gaowu Mountain in the north of Yinzhou, so I finally picked it off. Yes, look at this appearance, at least it can be worth ten... No, at least fifteen spirit crystals can be sold, right?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and gently pushed the wooden box containing the black fruit towards the casual cultivator. The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment, "What do you say?"

Shen Shi smiled, and said: "My guest, I'm sorry, we don't buy this stuff."

The face of the middle-aged man immediately sank, but before he got angry and cursed, Shen Shi had already said, "Because the thing in this box is not the second-ranked spiritual herb in the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia" that the gods will announce to the world. The black copper fruit is a kind of mixed fruit unique to Gaowu Mountain, it is called the black snake fruit, and it does not contain any spiritual power, so it is useless for monks' cultivation, or for alchemy and medicine."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his face changed drastically, and he stared at the boss with bloodshot eyes, showing a fierce light, and said viciously: "You bastard, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will kill you!" you!"

Shen Shi's face remained unchanged, standing there with a calm expression, but the little red girl on the other side of the counter changed her previous amiable expression when she heard the words, and her expression turned cold, and she said lightly: "This guest Please also be careful, although Tianyilou is open to do business, and peace is the most important thing, but since this building is the property of Xuanyinmen, it is not so easy to be bullied casually."

Once the word Xuanyinmen came into his ears, the middle-aged loose cultivator's body shook, and most of his ferocious aura dissipated immediately, but there was still a bit of anger and unwillingness on his face.You have to know in today's world, whether the monks in the cultivation world are from sects, the status of the disciples of the elites and ordinary casual cultivators is really very different.Even though the casual cultivators seem to have a large number of people, except for some extremely rare strange people among so many casual cultivators, most of them are the characters at the bottom of the cultivation world, and they absolutely dare not provoke the cultivation world Famous sect in China.In terms of strength alone, these cultivation sects that have survived in today's extremely competitive cultivation world are not to be underestimated, not to mention the famous Xuanyin sect here in Yinzhou, even if it is not as good as the four righteous seven sects in the cultivation world. Xuan those top famous families, but compared to these casual cultivators at the bottom of the comprehension world, they are really giant existences, and they can be crushed to death with just a finger.

Shen Shi smiled, and didn't care about the viciousness of this casual cultivator not long ago. He grew up in the first floor of this day, and he has seen many similar scenes. The casual cultivator said: "If you don't believe me, let me ask you. You said that this fruit is a black copper fruit. How did you identify it?"

The casual cultivator almost didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Does this need to be said? Of course, it is black all over, as big as a finger, born in a damp place deep in the mountains, and the fruit has a strange fragrance after ripening. It is rich in spiritual effects. It is several kinds of spiritual Pill refines the necessary spiritual herbs."

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Not bad, Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia is quite familiar."

The casual cultivator was praised, and his face immediately softened a lot, showing a bit of color, snorted, and said: "Nonsense, we casual cultivators who walk in the rivers and lakes rely on ourselves for everything, the monsters are too powerful It’s hard to hunt, and most of the time you can only practice by picking some spiritual grass and fruit to replace the spiritual crystal, if your vision is not accurate, what’s the point?”

Shen Shi smiled without saying a word, pushed the wooden box closer to him, and said: "There are so many spiritual herbs in the world, there are as many as 750 kinds in the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia, among them Most of them simply said a few words like this. Let’s take a closer look at the skin of this black fruit, um... pick it up, and look carefully at the light.”

The casual cultivator was stunned for a moment, with a look of suspicion on his face, hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the wooden box slowly, half-turned his body to face the bright place by the gate, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked carefully, mouth Shang Wu muttered to himself: "This is obviously a black copper fruit, so I have to talk nonsense about black snakes..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly choked up, and at this moment, the young man's faint voice came from behind him, saying: "Did you see, under the shiny surface, is there a dark shadow texture, faintly Twisted, shaped like a black snake?"

The middle-aged casual cultivator froze as if he held the wooden box for a long while without any response, his eyes fixed on the thing in his hands, with an inconceivable look.But the voice of the young man next to him still came over calmly, saying: "The real black copper fruit is black in color, not this kind of black with a bluish luster; there is also the one as big as a finger as recorded in the Pharmacopoeia, In fact, it refers to the little finger. This black fruit is too big. In addition, the reason why the black copper fruit is rare, apart from the reason that it grows in a secluded place in the deep mountains and old forests, is that after it matures, the fruit The aroma of the fruit is extremely strong, and it won't take long before it will attract wild beasts to feed on it, so this kind of spiritual fruit is rarely seen in the market. But this..."

Shen Shi shook his head slightly, smiled and said: "The fragrance is too weak."

At this moment, the middle-aged casual cultivator was already speechless, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. Seeing his appearance, Shen Shi shook his head slightly, without saying anything, he turned his head and looked at him again. Xiao Hong smiled and said hello, then walked away.

On the first floor of the sky, there was a lively scene of people coming and going, a row of lively scenes, Shen Shi shuttled through the crowd, when he walked to the gate and looked back by chance, he saw Xiao Hong at the counter from afar. The girl had already walked away to receive another customer who wanted to sell things, but the middle-aged casual cultivator just now was still standing there motionless like a log.

The corner of Shen Shi's mouth twitched slightly, he stopped looking, turned and walked out of the first floor.
