The Rise of the Shen Family

I saw that in the dim fire room, a middle-aged man with a plain appearance slowly stood up.

After he got up, he took out a bronze mirror from the storage bag and looked at himself in the mirror.

It didn't take long for the big man to nod his head in satisfaction at himself in the mirror, as if he was very sure.

This plain-looking middle-aged man is naturally Shen Ruiling after casting [Vientiane Red Dust].

And the reason why he did this was naturally to better hide his identity when searching for ancient books.

After all, Dan Fang's matter is too important to allow him to be careless. It is always good to be careful.

After putting the bronze mirror back into the storage bag, Shen Ruiling opened the dusty stone door and walked outside.

At the same time, the foundation building coercion emanating from his body began to gradually converge.

And when he walked out of the ground fire room, Shen Ruiling's exposed cultivation was only the realm of the initial stage of foundation building.

The cultivation base in the early stage of foundation building will not be too dazzling when walking on the street, and when entering the store, you can get the flattery of the shopkeeper.

For the current Shen Ruiling, it could not be more suitable.

After returning to the surface along the long and narrow passage, Shen Ruiling walked towards a bustling street after identifying the direction a little.

On this street, there are several bookstores selling classics, which Shen Ruiling noticed when he passed by.

The only thing that these stores have in common is that they are all located in relatively remote corners, and the storefronts are not large. The stores are only some casual cultivators during the Qi training period, and few foundation-building cultivators appear.

Soon Shen Ruiling's figure appeared at the door of the first store. After looking up at the plaque hanging over his head, Shen Ruiling walked in directly.

The store is dark and empty. There are stacks of books beside the narrow passage, and there are jade slips for people to choose from on the bookshelves on both sides of the wall.

Among the piles of books, an old man who was practicing Qi was busy with something, but when he looked up and saw Shen Ruiling, he immediately greeted him.

"Senior, what do you need?"

The old man came to Shen Ruiling and said respectfully.

Shen Ruiling first glanced at the old man, then glanced at the books around him, and finally said solemnly:

"I need some vintage books, do you have them in your shop?"

After hearing Shen Ruiling's request, the old man was stunned for a moment, and immediately accepted it after he reacted.

"There are some, I don't know what ancient books the seniors need?"

"You can show it to me first!" Shen Ruiling feigned anger.

Seeing the dissatisfied expression on Shen Ruiling's face, the old man naturally did not dare to say any more, and immediately turned around and rummaged in front of the bookshelves.

Soon, the old man returned to Shen Ruiling with a pile of jade slips in his arms, and then cautiously said:

"Senior, how about you take a look at these first?"

Taking these jade slips from the old man, Shen Ruiling directly put his consciousness into it and began to check it roughly.

All these jade slips have special restrictions. As a customer, Shen Ruiling can only view a small part of the content, and the rest of the content is blocked by the prohibition.

Of course, for Shen Ruiling, the restrictions set by these qi-training cultivators were nothing but falsehoods. He could easily destroy these restrictions with just one thought.

But Shen Ruiling couldn't do it. After all, doing so was already a form of theft, and the shop owner had the right to hand him over to the law enforcement team.

After a cursory inspection, Shen Ruiling's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was not very satisfied.

When the old man on the side saw this scene, he naturally knew that these things were not in Shen Ruiling's mind, so he was about to turn around and get some jade slips.

At this time, Shen Ruiling said again:

"These books are written too late. What I need is the best ancient books that are four or five hundred years ago."

"Ancient books from four or five hundred years ago?"

After hearing this, the old man was slightly surprised.

Four or five hundred years was enough for a Qi cultivator like him to live a few lifetimes, and even a foundation-building cultivator didn't have that much lifespan.

Seeing the old man's expression like this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but ask:

"Why, don't you have such ancient books here?"

Facing Shen Ruiling's question, the old man could only smile bitterly:

"Senior, you should also know that, apart from the occasional collection of ancient books of this type from the caves left by some ancestors, only those clan powers that have been passed down for hundreds of years can collect them."

Shen Ruiling had considered the old man's words before.

However, in his opinion, he is not looking for the secret techniques and various inheritances of four or five hundred years ago.

He only needs to find a few ancient books such as miscellaneous notes of four or five hundred years, and it should not be too difficult.

"I don't need books on cultivation techniques and inheritance, just some ancient books such as travel notes and miscellaneous notes!"

Shen Ruiling said a little unwillingly.

Under Shen Ruiling's repeated inquiries, the old man said somewhat unclearly:

"This... it seems that there is a book, but the age is no longer verified!"

"Bring it to me to see!"

"Senior, wait a moment!"

The old man turned around and started to rummage among his piles of books.

After a long time, the old man finally found a thick book from a corner.

I saw that the outside of this book is covered with unknown animal skins, and the paper inside is also made of animal skins, but all of them have turned yellow and black. At first glance, it has experienced countless years of brilliance!

After simply flipping through it, Shen Ruiling's face became slightly better, and he seemed to be quite satisfied.

After closing this ancient book, Shen Ruiling began to bargain with the old man.

Although the old man saw that Shen Ruiling needed this item very much, he did not dare to charge too high a price. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

So, after some intense bargaining between the two, Shen Ruiling finally spent 80 low-grade spirit stones to pocket the miscellaneous notes.

After coming out of this shop, Shen Ruiling walked directly into a remote alley.

In a no-man's place, he used [Vientiane Red Dust] again, giving himself a new look.

Not long after, a tall and thin man walked out of this alley and walked towards the second bookstore on the street.

In the second bookstore, Shen Ruiling also encountered a similar situation before, but fortunately, he still received two ancient books, which were better than the previous harvest.

In this way, every time he walked out of a store before entering the next store, Shen Ruiling would cast [Vientiane Red Dust] in a place where no one was around.

Although in the end, the appearance of the change is similar, but it is safer than walking in directly like this.

In this way, after walking down from several bookstores, Shen Ruiling found that there were not many ancient books from previous years in these stores, and most of them were books that had nothing to do with elixir.

However, in order not to attract attention, Shen Ruiling bought them together with the books he needed.

After coming out of these bookstores, Shen Ruiling deliberately went to the stalls where Qi Lianqi Sanxiu was set up, and found a few useful ancient books from the stalls.

Finally, with these dozen or so ancient books, Shen Ruiling returned to the fire room and began to study the ancient pill recipe again.
