Killing God

"Uh...Actually, I just want Qi Yang Pill."

Shen Shi looked honest, but when he looked up, Zhong Qinglu looked disapproving, without any sign of belief, so he sighed and said: "In the store of Herring Collection Pill Hall, one Qi Yang Pill costs ten spirit crystals. , It’s really too expensive, I originally wanted to ask you if it could be cheaper.”

Zhong Qinglu recalled what happened last night, nodded slowly, thinking that he came here for this last night, but then sneered, and said: "This is weird, obviously one Qi Yang pill can sell ten spirit crystals, Why should I sell you cheap, I don't have such a good friendship with you. "

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "If you refine Qi Yang Pill, if you don't take it yourself, Pill Hall will buy it back, and one will only give you the price of five spirit crystals?"

Zhong Qinglu raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "You even know this."

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big confidential matter. Just go to the herring store and say that I have Qi Yang Dan and want to exchange some spirit crystals, and they will naturally say so."

Zhong Qinglu pursed her lips, as if she accepted Shen Shi's statement, but then shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe you don't know that you often fail in alchemy, and it still doesn't make sense for you to give me alchemy with spirit crystals. "

Shen Shi was silent for a while this time, and then slowly said: "If I say that I am optimistic about you and have a good relationship with the possible great alchemist in the future, do you believe it?"

Zhong Qing didn't change his face when he showed up, and said, "I don't believe it."

Shen Shi smiled wryly, and said: "Okay, let me tell you the truth, I just remembered this matter temporarily, I went to you before, and it was really just to buy some nourishing qi pills cheaply. Hunting monsters on the island, but the way is too shallow, the spiritual power is only enough for me to use water archery three times, and then it will take a full six hours to recover the spiritual power, and I can’t do anything in one day. But if there is a Dan, I can almost recover in two hours, so I can hunt monsters once or twice in a day, and the harvest will definitely increase."

Zhong Qinglu's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Shen Shi with a more solemn expression for the first time, and said slowly: "No wonder I saw you condense water arrows just now... You are only at the middle level of Qi Refining Realm now, How dare you go to Demon Island to hunt monsters? If I remember correctly, it should be the task of Red Board!"

Shen Shi looked at the night, nodded, and said: "Yesterday was the first time I went to Demon Island to hunt demons. I got two armored armadillo bone armors and exchanged four spirit crystals. If there is Qi Yang Pill, This income should be doubled at least." He glanced at Zhong Qinglu, and saw that she was concentrating at the moment, her bright eyes flickered, and she was obviously thinking about something, under the moonlight, he suddenly felt that although the girl's cheeks were slightly fatter, It seems to look pretty good too.

"I have inquired that four kinds of spirit materials are needed to refine a batch of Qi Yang pills, and it takes about ten spirit crystals to buy them all. If the failure of the refining is not considered, the Dantang shops are selling them at five times the price. Really Huge profits." After saying that, he clicked his tongue twice, looking very envious.

Zhong Qinglu snorted and said, "Okay, even if I admit that what you said is reasonable and I am willing to cooperate with you, but have you ever thought about it, what if you bought spiritual materials for my spirit crystal, but failed to refine it?" After that, what should we do?"

Shen Shi was silent for a while, and said: "If you fail, you will naturally lose your money, but if you succeed once, you will get five times the huge profit. I think I can take a gamble."

Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt a little angry, and frowned, "What is the bet, you have to think clearly, the bet is not you, but me..." Her voice suddenly became quieter, feeling the meaning behind the words It was a little weird, and the cheeks were slightly red.

But Shen Shi didn't think much about it, nodded and said: "Yes, I also know that this seems absurd, the bet is indeed your alchemy practice, ability and even...your luck. It's just that you have I thought about it, if this is a gamble between the two of us, in fact, our chances of winning will keep increasing."

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, a bit confused, and said, "What?"

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Every time you refine the pill, will you become more proficient? Every time I go to the Monster Island, will I be more familiar with the monsters? Ten days and a half months, March and a half, Will both of us improve our morality? Will the things we both do gradually become better?" He said leisurely with a little yearning, "Maybe one day in the future, you Finally, I have fully mastered the alchemy of refining Qi Yang Pill, and I can refine it every time, and I gained more in a day on that demon island. When I come back, I will exchange it for spiritual crystals, and then I will buy more spiritual materials for you to refine. Refined and then..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it..." Zhong Qinglu shook her head violently, but seeing her eyes sparkling at this moment, her expression and appearance seemed to be different from before, obviously she was tempted.

Shen Shi smiled and said, "How?"

Zhong Qinglu gritted her teeth and said, "Of course you sound nice. If things really want to be like this, I'm willing to, but without you, I can..."

"You can't." Shen Shi said lightly.

Zhong Qinglu lowered her face and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "Alchemy is very costly, especially at the beginning of learning, you have to practice alone and buy spiritual materials, and the probability of failure is still high. If you make a random mistake, it may take ten and a half months It will take even longer to gather the spiritual materials needed for the next alchemy, am I right?"

Zhong Qinglu stopped talking.

Shen Shi looked at her and said: "If this goes on for a long time, no matter how talented you are, you can only waste your time under the restriction of this spirit crystal. Why can those senior brothers in the alchemy hall of Lingxiaozong become alchemists? There are very few of them, even after they reach the Yuan Condensation Realm, it is because they have wasted a lot of time on it from the beginning. Do you want to be like them?"

Zhong Qinglu took a deep breath. This time, she really re-examined the person in front of her with a new look. After a long time, she said solemnly, "Why did you choose me?"

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, and said: "There are several reasons, first... I disturbed your alchemy last night, and I also caused you to break the alchemy furnace."

Zhong Qinglu snorted and glared at him.

Shen Shi laughed dryly, and said: "Secondly, although I came up with this idea temporarily, none of the senior brothers who have achieved small successes in alchemy in the sect would pay attention to me; and among the new disciples, you He was the first to refine Qi Yang Pill. If I don’t choose you, should I go find other trash?”

Zhong Qinglu let out a "puchi" laugh, but then immediately straightened her face again, raised her head slightly, and said coldly: "What nonsense, those are brothers from the same school, they just practiced alchemy not as many times as I do, in the future I will tell you There may be many people who are far better than me in alchemy!"

Shen Shi smiled and shook his head, then after a moment of silence, he said: "There is one more thing, actually..." The look on his face suddenly became a little strange, as if he was thinking of something, Zhong Qinglu saw that he suddenly stopped Words, could not help but ask:

"what is it?"

Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, "My father is a businessman, do you know that?"

Zhong Qinglu shook his head blankly, Shen Shi smiled, his voice was somewhat nostalgic, and said: "My father told me before that the most important thing in business is vision, to be able to see things that others cannot see If you catch it, you can make a lot of money in the future."

Zhong Qinglu thought for a while, then pointed at herself, and said, "You mean if you catch me, you can make a lot of money in the future?"

Shen Shi laughed, shook his head, and then slowly walked in front of Zhong Qinglu, looking at his appearance, and his eyes that seemed so bright that the moonlight was reflected in his pupils, Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt a little inexplicable Nervous, he subconsciously took half a step back, and then heard the young man in front of him say slowly:

"Whether you will succeed in alchemy in the future, no one can say for sure, but right now you are just getting started, but it is the most difficult time and the time when you need help most. I think this should be invisible to others. It's time, I think I can gamble. And you, do you want to gamble with me?"

For a moment, Zhong Qinglu didn't dare to look directly into Shen Shi's bright eyes, as if his eyes were too dazzling and hurt her a little.But after a while, she stubbornly raised her head, stared at Shen Shi, and said loudly:

"I have nothing to dare, anyway, isn't it all the crystals you gave me!"

Shen Shi laughed, nodded, and then stretched out his palm to Zhong Qinglu. Zhong Qinglu glanced at his palm and said, "What are you doing?"

"High fives!"

Zhong Qinglu sneered, glared at him, and said, "Who wants to touch hands with a stinky man like you!"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, feeling extremely embarrassed, he smiled and slowly retracted his hand, and suddenly heard Zhong Qinglu say: "Extend your hand here."

"Ah?" Shen Shi's hand stopped in mid-air, he didn't know why, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what this eccentric girl meant.Zhong Qinglu suddenly stretched out her palm and slapped him hard on the back.

"Oh?" Shen Shi was startled, with a faint pain in the back of his hand, he said in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

"It's a high-five, and that's it."

"All right……"

※※※

The moonlight was like water, falling on the quiet beach in the dead of night, elongating two slender shadows.

In this quiet night, in the waves and night wind, it seems that only the words of the two of them are left echoing faintly, floating around like light smoke, and finally dissipating in the boundless night sky.I don't know if many years later, will anyone remember this night, remember the original agreement, um... well, the first business.

Who will really remember the words of youth for a lifetime, and who really knows?

After talking about some basic things in the future, in fact, most of them were said by Shen Shi, and Zhong Qinglu listened most of the time, such as Shen Shi gave him a spirit crystal that was enough to buy alchemy spiritual materials within a few days, and refined it Zhong Qinglu listened carefully to how many qi-nourishing pills to give him afterwards, but she didn't seem to be particularly clear in her mind.

After finishing these trivial matters, seeing that it was getting late, the two turned around and walked towards the cave.

Stepping on the sand of the beach, Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt unreal. When I came out tonight, I was depressed and ran to the beach to relax, but when I went back, there were so many of them for no reason. What about a contract?

But the conditions he proposed... are really too good, every sentence seems to have pinpointed his own pulse, and he couldn't help but refuse to agree.

Just as she was thinking about it, Zhong Qinglu suddenly heard Shen Shi beside her asking, "Junior Sister Zhong, how much spirit crystal was your alchemy furnace worth last night?"

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Shen Shi to ask this suddenly, but she still replied: "Two hundred spirit crystals, pill furnace is the most expensive thing, even if mine is the smallest."

Shen Shi seemed to be calculating for a while, and said: "But I think so many spiritual crystals, with your income in the alchemy hall, plus you have to buy spiritual materials to make alchemy on a daily basis, it seems that it is not enough to buy so expensive A pill furnace?"

Zhong Qinglu said nonchalantly: "It's not enough, so I borrowed half from others."

Shen Shi was taken aback, and said, "Who is so rich?"

Zhong Qinglu shrugged with a smile, it seems that after talking this night, the relationship between her and Shen Shi has become a lot closer, and even such a small gesture came out naturally, and said with a smile: "I don't know others too well. Ah, it's my cousin Qingzhu."

Shen Shi was startled, then fell silent.The two walked side by side, Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, and as far as he could see, he saw the shadow in front of him covering a small piece of beach sand at some point, shrouding it in darkness.

It was so dark, as if it couldn't be seen clearly at all.

(It’s tiring to stay up late and watch the football, so it’s better today... ps: For some reason, I always feel that this year’s Brazilian team looks very [***] silky. Does anyone have the same feeling?)
