Killing God

Chapter 63 Genius

Sun You showed a bit of admiration on his face, and at the same time, he said with a bit of luck, "After you and Zhong Qingzhu disappeared that day, Senior Brother Wang Gen immediately mobilized people to search the whole island, but they searched for three days. I couldn't find you either, so someone advised Brother Wang to let it go. To be honest, even I thought that the two of you were probably swept away by the big waves, and I was frustrated for a long time."

"However, Senior Brother Wang, for some reason, stood alone against all opinions and persisted in searching. Everyone did not dare to disobey his wishes, so they searched for a few more days, and the search continued until the seventh day, but there was still no trace of you. Now All the brothers and sisters on the island couldn’t bear it anymore, rumors spread everywhere. I saw Senior Brother Wang’s gloomy face all day long, alas..." Sun You shook his head, glanced at Shen Shi, and said,

"On the eighth day, Senior Brother Wang was forced to suspend the search. Now everyone thought that even he had given up. To be honest, even I was about to give up at that time. The hall was locked up for a whole day, and on the ninth day, he went straight to the "array hall" on Jinhong Mountain. I don't know how he did it, but he persuaded Elder Mo, who presides over the array hall, to come to our Qingyu Island to set up the "array hall" in person. The 'Seven Treasures Array', that is, the mask you saw that day."

Shen Shi did not expect that during the days when he was missing, so many things happened in order to find him, especially the majestic and resolute senior brother Wang. It can be said that his salvation was all due to Wang Gen's persistence. He couldn't help feeling grateful, and said, "Brother Wang saved me so much, I really don't know how to repay him."

Sun You said with a smile: "Forget it, we are just starting to practice now, what can we give him in return, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

Shen Shi nodded, thinking that it was indeed the case, and then he thought of the magical mask he saw the day before, which was what Sun You said about the Qibaodou rate array, and all kinds of magical powers and wonders were truly astonishing and worthy of the name The actual method of the Xian family, couldn't help but asked Sun You: "What kind of powerful method is the Qibaodousui array, which can find us who are trapped under the cliff?"

Sun You scratched his head, also at a loss, and said: "I heard that this magic circle is a very high supernatural power, and it is also a very famous magic circle in the magic circle, but I can't tell what it is. But I do know After Senior Brother Wang Gen begged Elder Mo to move, it took a whole day just to set up this formation on Herring Island, during which time he also invited dozens of senior brothers from the formation hall to come down to help."

"My dear, what a big battle..." Shen Shi couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Sun You said with a smile: "Who says it's not, and this magic circle needs to cover the entire island for search, and the cost of setting up the formation is not small. Didn't you see that that day Elder Mo led the brothers in the formation hall to set up the magic circle on Herring Island At that time, all kinds of array flags, talismans, spirit crystals, and many spiritual materials that I can’t even name, were swayed as if they didn’t need money, and it took a whole day to arrange them properly. At that time, everyone on the island watched I have to be dumbfounded, so am I..." At this point, Sun You sighed and said, "To be honest, I was really worried about Senior Brother Wang at that time. I'm afraid the reputation in the sect will plummet."

Shen Shi fell silent. After he was rescued, Wang Gen also visited him once, but after asking him about his disappearance in detail, he didn't see anything special. In the end, he just told him to take a good rest and left. I can't see that Senior Brother Wang actually did so many things to save himself and Zhong Qingzhu.

It's just that at this moment, deep in Shen Shi's heart, a thought emerged uncontrollably, full of doubts: This senior brother Wang used such manpower and material resources, and even asked an elder of the sect to lay down this obviously costly task. The purpose of the magic circle is to save two junior junior brothers and sisters in the Qi Refining Realm who still have little hope of surviving. Why is this...

Looking back on the past, Shen Shi really didn't feel that he was worthy of senior brother Wang Gen's dedication, or, could it be because of Zhong Qingzhu?

Shen Shi is not the only one who wonders whether it is worthwhile to spend so much manpower and material resources, and even pay a huge favor to ask the elders of the sect to take action.Even he, a person who was saved at the time, was secretly bewildered while being grateful from the bottom of his heart. In the eyes of others, of course, it was equally incomprehensible.

On Qingyu Island, I don’t know how many disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who have experienced this scene are discussing this matter in private, even in the Lingxiao Sect’s sect, on Jinhong Mountain, in the peaceful fairyland, there are also many voices of criticism .

Wang Gen, this man who was ranked among the three swords of Ling Xiao and is also one of the candidates for the next generation headmaster, was at the forefront of the limelight during this period of time, and his fame and limelight even overwhelmed the others for a time. .Although there are a lot of criticisms, especially when he first presided over Qingyu Island, when a newcomer disciple got lost in the sea storm and he couldn't find it for many days, there were loud doubts about his ability in the Lingxiao Sect, and even once There were rumors that someone in the Presbyterian Council proposed to replace the candidate, but when the matter developed to the end, Wang Gen invited Elder Mo, almost beyond everyone's expectations, and found the two newcomer disciples. one change.

Incompetence has turned into decisiveness, procrastination has turned into tenacity, standing alone and having a unique insight, all kinds of praises and praises have flowed in, and it is said that even the head teacher Huaiyuan praised it meaningfully on one occasion He said:

This son of Wang Gen is not a thing in the pond.

※※※

All the ups and downs and treacherous waves in the Lingxiao Sect's sect are all on top of the ten thousand zhang fairy mountain, which seems too far away for the tiny Herring Island at the foot of the mountain.

So after that burst of hustle and bustle, Herring Island finally returned to calm quickly. After all, the most important thing for almost all people on this island is to practice, practice, and practice again. When Qijing left Herring Island and climbed Jinhongxian Mountain in the Condensation Realm, those things or another fairy world would reveal some clues to them.

As the two persons involved in the disappearance of the storm in the sea, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were lucky to escape from death. Afterwards, Wang Gen and others also went to check the cave in Caibei Beach in person. The precipitous tiankeng has confirmed the two people's statements one by one, and this matter has come to an end, and gradually no one mentions it anymore.

The storm came and went, and the days were still living quietly, practicing, doing tasks, earning spirit crystals, and then continuing to practice, everything on Herring Island seemed to have returned to its original state, and of course there were a few things that were different from the past. changed.

Shen Shi and Sun You have different backgrounds but have the same surname, and they have gradually become good friends who talk about everything;

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu experienced the scene of living and dying together in the storm, and they naturally became acquainted. When they met and greeted each other on weekdays, the delicate and beautiful girl would always wave and smile at him, and occasionally, when there was no one around, She would secretly call him "Little Stone";

Shen Shi is still secretly practicing the Purifying Mantra. Practicing twice a day has doubled his consumption of spirit crystals, and his desire to earn spirit crystals is getting bigger and bigger. In the words of his good friend and neighbor Sun You, this Why does the guy become more and more obsessed with money after walking through the ghost gate once?

There are also a few unlucky people, one of them is Su He, and all the disciples in the Qi Refining Realm who are responsible for supervising senior brothers on the island are all fine, except that Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu under his name have a big accident, so he is also very happy. Tragically, Senior Brother Wang Gen directly removed the responsibility of supervision after the incident, and of course the original rewards for supervision were also deprived.

In the end, there is the most unlucky person, but Shen Shi, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu and most people don't know it at all, he can be regarded as one of their senior brothers.Because the warning notice was posted on the day of the storm in the sea, the matter was not done well, Wang Gen pursued it afterwards, and everyone else was fine, but this disciple named Lin Hu was severely punished by Wang Gen, and all his current duties were removed. Among all the places in Herring Six Islands, he was sent to serve as a guard in the "Monster Hunting Cave", which is known as the most bitter, tiring, boring and rewarding place.

※※※

At the juncture of life and death, the turbulent waves like a storm in the sea are thrilling enough to make people lose their minds, but after the incident, after a long time, it gradually becomes a memory, and quietly becomes a memorable past in the memory.

Herring Island is like a paradise, everything is so peaceful, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu have returned to a quiet life, practicing hard or silently towards the dream of cultivating immortals.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since these peaceful days.

The sea water of Baiyu Bay is still so clear and gentle, the sky is also blue, the sea breeze is blowing, and the seabirds are soaring. Except for the occasional sea storms that come every spring and summer, everything here is so peaceful and beautiful.

In three years, the teenagers have grown taller.

The 12-year-old boy has turned into a 15-year-old boy. Because of the continuous absorption of spirit crystals and spiritual power training, these young people who were immature and fragile when they first entered the island are now fully adapted to the role of monks , At the same time, the physical body is gradually becoming tough and strong under the tempering of spiritual power.

At the same time, the bean sprout-like young girls who have not yet bloomed gradually bloomed like flowers after three years, exuding more and more beautiful demeanor, their bodies gradually grew and their faces became more and more beautiful, and they became this A beautiful scenery on Herring Island.

But these are just superficial things. Under the sect, the most important and fundamental thing for those who practice Taoism is to practice Taoism after all.

Three years ago, the teenagers who looked similar started at the same time. After these three years, they finally gradually began to distinguish the front and the bottom in the process of cultivation.

Among the more than [-] newcomer disciples, more than [-]% of them are still trapped in the primary level of Qi Refining Realm, and they are still unable to break through the barrier of the intermediate level in three years. With a bit of cruelty, it was placed in front of them coldly.

There are also a hundred or so people whose talent in cultivating the Tao began to be gradually revealed with the deepening of their practice. During these three years, they gradually broke through and cultivated to the middle level of Qi Refining Realm.According to what Ling Xiaozong has always said, if a disciple who has cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm in three years, his talent for cultivation can be regarded as at least above average, and there is great hope for further progress; on this basis, if he can practice in the next two years If you reach a high level of Qi Refining Realm, you will have a great chance of breaking through to the Yuan Condensing Realm in the future.

And if a disciple who is lucky enough to break through the Qi Refining Realm and cultivate to the Yuan Condensing Realm within five years has always been highly valued by the Ling Xiao Sect, among other things, the most famous and prestigious Ling Xiao Three Swords in the sect is now All of them were outstanding disciples who directly cultivated to the Yuan Condensation Realm in the first round of five years.

However, in the third year, all the people on Herring Island, including the direct disciples headed by Wang Gen, all looked at only one person during this year.

A true genius who directly cultivated his Taoism to the high level of Qi Refining Realm when he only entered the island for the third year. Even in the past hundred years, Ling Xiaozong has never seen such a talent. It caused a sensation in the sect.

This person is named Gan Ze.

Chapter 64 Spells

On the seventh day of May, it was sunny.

In the early morning, when the morning sun rises from the sea level deep in the sea, the vast golden light reflects the sea water into a magnificent crimson red, and there are a few pieces of morning glow in the sky, accompanied by the fresh sea breeze, Shen Shi, who walked out of the cave, couldn't help but be heartbroken. To make it wide, he stretched a big lazy waist.

At about the same time, a rumbling sound sounded behind him. Following the sound of footsteps, a familiar voice came to his side with a laziness, yawned, and said, "Good morning!" .”

Shen Shi turned his head and glanced at his neighbor, and said with a smile, "I don't understand. We have practiced for three years. It stands to reason that after practicing, there is only a moment of fatigue at most, and it recovers after a short meditation. How do you think you wake up every morning? Look like you haven't slept well?"

Sun You rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "I've been serving those spirit beast masters all day, I can't do it if I'm tired."

Shen Shi laughed, shook his head and remained silent.

Although Sun You said that he was tired, except for a few sleepy eyes on his face, he looked very energetic. After all, in the past three years, he had already cultivated to the middle level of Qi Refining Realm. Strong and healthy, far from what it was when I first started.

People in Shen Shi's circle were lucky and unlucky in cultivating Taoism. With his diligent practice, Shen Shi himself had already reached the middle level of Qi Refining Realm, which was a surprise to himself.In addition, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu, and that little chubby girl Zhong Qinglu are actually quite talented, and they have all cultivated to the middle level of Qi Refining Realm.Among the remaining unlucky people, He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang have become brothers and sisters, and they are still trapped in the initial stage of Qi Refining Realm. This makes them very depressed and troubled. Perhaps it is also because of this. The relationship with Li has improved a lot.

There are more than 280 newcomer disciples who came to the island to pay homage to the sect, and there are still more than [-]% of them, that is, more than [-] people are still in the initial stage of Qi Refining Realm. Having reached the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, although they are far from being able to compare with Gan Ze, who is known as the number one genius of the Lingxiao Sect in a century, but among the new disciples in this round, the four are already quite outstanding.

Speaking of which, among the ten people under the supervision of that senior brother Su He, the rest seemed to be of average talent, and now they are all still at the beginning stage of Qi Refining Realm, and they rarely communicate with Shen Shi, Sun You and others on weekdays. But at least four of these ten people have cultivated to the middle level of Qi Refining Realm, which is higher than the probability of all the disciples on the island, which can be regarded as an achievement of Senior Brother Su He.

It's just that senior brother Su He was really unlucky. Three years ago, senior brother Wang Gen, who was in charge of Qingyu Island affairs, was offended by the storm in the sea. Afterwards, he was investigated, but he was relieved of this responsibility. It's not sure how many rewards you can get.

Sometimes when chatting, Shen Shi, Sun You, including Zhong Qingzhu, He Xiaomei and others would talk about this senior brother Su He, always lamenting that this senior brother was unlucky.

But at this moment, bathed in the morning sun and sea breeze, both Shen Shi and Sun You seem to be in a good mood, and naturally they will not think about some bad things, Sun You said to Shen Shi: "Are you ready?"

Shen Shi nodded, but there was obviously a bit of heartache on his face, he curled his lips and said: "One spell requires three spirit crystals, and it is the lowest first-order five-element spell. Just greedy for money!"

Sun You shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said: "No way, if you say that if you are outside the island, you might go to shops like Shenxianhui to see and buy some cheap goods, but on Herring Island , if you want to learn the five elements technique, there is only one place in the surgery hall."

As he spoke, he lightly patted Shen Shi on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Forget it, anyway, in the Condensed Yuan Realm, we can only learn one five-element spell at most. In the future, when we reach the Condensed Yuan Realm, there will be countless more powers." Big and easy-to-learn Taoism supernatural powers are waiting for us, who would care about these complicated and difficult-to-learn five-element spells?"

Shen Shi frowned, thoughtfully, and said, "I've always wanted to ask you, why do you want to learn a five-element technique?"

Sun You asked without answering, "What about you?"

Shen Shi shrugged and said, "To earn spirit crystals."

Sun You let out a "huh" and said, "How do you make money? By the way, you have been peeling shrimps in Red Clam Village for three years, and you have been enjoying the spirit crystals of Red Clams all the time?"

Shen Shi said angrily: "Don't mention it, the work over there is good. As long as I am not afraid of dirty and bloody, I can earn a spirit crystal in about five days, which is barely enough for me to practice. But recently The old man in the Red Clam Village went crazy for some reason, and nonsense that there has been some weird cold currents in the waters off Herring Island recently, which drove away most of the ghost-faced shrimps that have always liked heat and aversion to cold, so he exchanged the original one hundred shrimps for one spirit. The price of the crystal has directly doubled, and I have to kill two hundred to get one spirit crystal."

Sun You was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there any relationship between these two things?"

Shen Shi said: "That's right, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, that's what he did, it pissed me off half to death, but the spirit crystal is in his hands, I can't do anything, I have to think about whether there are other ways to earn spirit crystals Jing. By the way, you haven't said why you want to learn the Five Elements technique?"

"Uh, I did it for self-defense." Sun You said, "You also know that when we are in the Qi Refining Realm, we hardly have any magical skills to learn. Generally, all the monks in the world learn one or two at this time. A five-element technique."

Shen Shi glanced at him, and said: "Cultivate hard on this Herring Island, no one will do you any harm, why should you think about self-defense?"

Sun You smiled, his eyes seemed a little erratic, and said: "Anyway... there is no harm at all."

Shen Shi shrugged and said, "That's true."

Sun You suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, you said just now that you wanted to learn the five-element technique to earn spirit crystals. Could it be that there is some mysterious and good way? Tell me quickly, maybe I can also earn this money. return."

Shen Shi smiled and said: "What's so mysterious about this, it's all clearly written on the mission board in the White Crane Hall, it's just that you are lazy and don't want to read it."

Sun You was startled, thought about it for a while, but still couldn't remember the result, and said, "What is it?"

"Two things." Shen Shi stretched out two fingers, bent one first, and said, "The first thing is hunting demons."

Sun You's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully, "So you're talking about the task on the green board. It is said that the 'Monster Hunting Cave' is on the Fifth Island of Herring, and there are three floors in the cave, each with different ghosts." Monsters, most of them have spiritual materials for alchemy and formation, and they are all weak little monsters. As long as they have some skills, they can almost beat them. Hey, this task is not bad, and it is a green board. Reward the spirit There should be more crystals than whiteboards."

Shen Shi smiled without saying a word, Sun You said with a smile: "Brother, since I said it, let's go together when we have mastered the five elements."

Shen Shi nodded, and said: "That's fine, there will be a support for the two of you."

Sun You said again: "Then what about the second thing you just said?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Fulu, I heard that there have been missions about Fulu in the Shushu Hall, and the rewards are good, but if you want to make Fulu, you must first learn the five-element technique, so I thought about whether to do it first. Take a look at it, maybe you can earn some spirit crystals from the art hall in the future."

Sun You widened his eyes, and said: "You are really obsessed with money, even the Lingjing of Shutang, which is so stingy and greedy for money that the whole sect is famous, wants to make money!"

Shen Shi sighed, and said: "There is no way, this is not the lack of spirit crystals to practice."

Sun You sneered, dismissive of his words, the two chatted and laughed for a while, and seeing that it was not early, they walked towards the direction of Herring, planning to go to the "Five Elements Hall" built by Shutang on Herring Island.

Just walking, Sun You frowned slightly, his heart moved, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Shen Shi beside him, Shen Shi noticed his gaze, and smiled: "What's wrong?"

Sun You hesitated for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I feel sorry for the three spirit crystals that will be spent later."

Shen Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, we'll use the techniques we learned to earn back the spirit crystals in the future!"

Sun You nodded with a smile, but a thought floated up in his mind for no reason: The spirit crystals consumed by the mid-level cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm were about one every ten days. He should be relatively well-off, why does he look so embarrassed...

※※※

The Hall of the Five Elements is concentrated in Herring, just over ten feet away to the west of the White Crane Hall, and they live next to each other.However, compared to the lively scene of the Baihe Hall with a constant flow of people every day, the Five Elements Hall under the Shu Hall echoed the words that Shen Shi taught Hai Xing girl that day-the house is empty.

Generally speaking, monks in the Qi Refining Realm are just constantly absorbing the spiritual power of spirit crystals in the initial stage to improve their Taoism. The power of the five elements of heaven and earth resonates, thus performing all kinds of strange spells. Therefore, at the elementary level, monks in the Qi Refining Realm are generally unable to learn the five elements.

Only when you have cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, at this time, the spiritual power in the monks' bodies has accumulated to a considerable extent, and they can barely start to activate the five elements. Cultivation, not to mention those sacrificial treasures and magic weapons, so choosing one, two, five element spells is the choice of most monks at this stage.

However, it is well known that the Five Elements spells have been known for being complicated and difficult since ancient times. The lowest level of first-order spells has little power, but the difficulty of practice is comparable to some ordinary Taoist magical powers after the Yuan Condensation Realm. It is really cheap It's a very bad method, if it is not really impossible to choose, most monks will not practice the five elements.

In fact, except for those casual cultivators who are precarious in the rivers and lakes who often practice the five elements, some disciples of famous schools, many people will not waste energy to practice this kind of method when they are in the Qi refining state.Even on Herring Island, there are many mid-level Qi Refining disciples who did not intend to learn the Five Elements technique.

When Shen Shi and Sun You came outside the Hall of Five Elements, they saw a hustle and bustle of people at the Baihe Hall more than ten zhang away. Looking left and right, it seemed that they were the only two of them, and couldn't help but smile wryly at each other.

Shaking his head, Shen Shi and Sun You walked in together. Although the Five Elements Hall seems to have a light business, the building itself is quite spacious and grand, and it looks very grand. The gate alone is about ten feet high.

Just as Shen Shi stepped over the threshold, he was startled for a moment, looked towards a certain place in front of the hall, was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "Qing... Junior Sister Zhong, why are you here?"
