Chapter 2: Jian Guo

Chapter Two
In the present age, the Great Prosperity of the Immortal Dao of the Great and Meng Realms, since the human race overthrew the most prosperous demon race tens of thousands of years ago, on the basis of those handed down to absorb the spiritual power of the heaven and the earth through the spirit crystals to cultivate the various immortal ways and supernatural powers. All kinds of magical and powerful Taoism and supernatural powers have been created during this long ten thousand years, in the ingenuity of countless strange people and strangers. Today's Hongmeng human race cultivation world is indeed a prosperous scene full of flowers.
After the human race drove away the demon tribe’s unification of the universal realms, today, it has not formed a heavenly demon king court-like court that dominates the world like the previous demon tribe. On the contrary, there are powerful cultivation sects and aristocratic families. , Has replaced the rule of the demon race in the past, and has become the most powerful force in the realms of Hongmeng.
The cultivator, commonly known as the monk, is the identity that is the most awe-inspiring for everyone in the world in this prosperous era. Even in the hearts of ordinary people, the relationship that can be implicated in the world of cultivation is called fairy fate. This shows that Some.
Under this background, the people who cultivate in the realms of Hongmeng are naturally innumerable like the crucian carp who crossed the river, which also constitutes the mysterious, magical, magnificent and colorful realm of cultivation in the hearts of ordinary people. Among them, those giants and clan clan leaders headed by the "Four Right and Seven Profound Realms" in the Hongmeng Realm are naturally the most powerful group of people on this Hongmeng Continent. But beyond that, there are more and countless ordinary people. Yes, even in the realm of cultivation, compared with those famous disciples, there are still monks who live in distress, commonly known as casual cultivators, who are struggling to survive and pursue their dream of cultivating immortality and longevity.
The number of casual cultivators is extremely large, no one knows exactly how many people there are, but it is generally believed that among the huge number of cultivators in the realm of cultivation, the lowest-ranking cultivators account for at least more than half of all cultivators. These casual cultivators all have their own sources. Some are not knowing where to get a beginner Taoist secret book, or lucky enough to have a Taoism, and of course, it is indispensable to leave alone for various reasons from some schools of cultivation. People who practice and walk across the rivers and lakes have a variety of reasons, and their sources are omnipresent. This can be regarded as a strange and special scene in the world of Hongmeng.
As for Shen Jiatian's first floor shop, which sells all kinds of spiritual treasures for cultivation, the main source of customers is these seemingly omnipresent casual practitioners.
Right now, Shen Shi walked briskly to the long counter on the west side of the Tianyi Building. At this time, many people were already standing on both sides of the counter. Inside was the shopkeeper on the first floor of the uniform clothing, and outside the counter were various There are all kinds of people, most of them are casual cultivators, and a few of them look extraordinary. I don’t know if they are disciples from a few nearby cultivators. After all, Xilu City is the most popular place in the Tianyin Mountains of Yinzhou. In the prosperous big city, all kinds of spiritual materials and goods are the most complete. Some monks who came from disciples of the martial arts encounter some temporary urgent needs in their practice, and they often come to Xilu City to look for things that are urgent or not.
The little red girl who had called Shen Shi just now was standing in the corner of the counter, and a man was standing outside the counter. After calling Shen Shi over, Xiao Hong smiled first, as if a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Little Stone, this customer wants to sell a'black copper fruit', but I am not familiar with this kind of spirit fruit. , Can you help me see?"
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 on the first floor of the sky? I don't understand this black copper fruit, let alone say, now I actually look for it. Here is a mao child to identify my rare spirit fruit. There is something wrong, right?"
Shen Shi turned his head and looked, and saw that the person who was speaking was the one who had just stood opposite Xiao Hong. He was a middle-aged man with average clothes. There were already many wrinkles between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows on his face. After years of unconscious meditation, his face was a little angry at this moment, staring at him and Xiaohong.
Shen Shi wanted to say something but stopped, but Xiao Hong was on the first floor of this day for several years. The people who were dealing with these casual cultivators were also experienced and were not angry at the moment. He smiled slightly and said: "This guest officer is not angry, don't you Seeing that Xiao Shitou is young, but he is the only child of our big shopkeeper on the first floor of Tianyi. He grew up on the first floor of Tianyi. Not to mention, the daily trading of all kinds of precious treasures in this building There are more magical medicines, all kinds of spiritual herbs, this little guy has more than anyone else, and he has studied with several 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 a long time ago that if you encounter any hesitation, just come and ask our little son."
After hearing this, San Xiu's face was slightly angered, but there was still a bit of suspiciousness between his brows, and he looked up and down at Shen Shi, obviously not completely convinced of Little Red's words.
Shen Shi was not angry, and looked at each other with Xiaohong, thinking that this is probably a casual repairer who came to Xilu City from outside, otherwise, if he is a monk who often walks in Xilu City, he will face Tianyi, one of the two major shops in the city. The name of the little stone in the building will probably be heard.
At that moment, Shen Shi ignored the skeptical gaze that Ran Xiu aimed at, and leaned against the counter, and said to Xiao Hong, "What about things, let me see first."
Xiaohong turned her head to look at the casual practitioner, and said, "Guest officer?"
The casual repairer hesitated for a while, frowned, and finally reached out a little reluctantly and took out a wooden box from his arms, cherished and placed it gently on the flat counter, and said: "Look at it. "After speaking, it seemed to have thought of something again, and he hurriedly said, "Just look at it, don't touch it with your hands, otherwise you will lose the spiritual energy of the Lingguo or destroy this rare one. The treasures I see, I won’t rest with you!"
Shen Shi glanced at the middle-aged casual repairer, smiled and agreed, then took the wooden box, and placed it on the counter without leaving the counter. First, he gently touched the surface of the wooden box with his hand, and then pondered for a moment. There was a slight pause before releasing the live button and opening the wooden box.
As the lid of the wooden box was opened, a faint fruity fragrance faintly diffused from the wooden box. Under the common gaze of the three people, I saw that the wooden box was covered with several layers of soft blue silk, parked in the center. A black fruit the size of a thumb, the color is dark and dark, the appearance is round and full, the peel is rich and shiny, and there is a faint gleam of black light, which is quite attractive.
Shen Shi's eyes were bright, and he looked at the black fruit carefully, and he didn't mean to touch it with his hands. He just stared silently, as if thoughtful. It was the middle-aged man who was casually cultivating in an eager mood. After waiting for a moment, he couldn't wait to say: "Well, my black copper fruit is not bad. This is my nine-dead life in Gaowu Mountain in the north of Yinzhou. I finally took it off. Yes, look at this appearance, it can be worth ten... No, at least fifteen spirit crystals can be sold, right?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and then gently pushed the wooden box containing the black fruits toward the body of the self-cultivator. The middle-aged man was taken aback, and said in amazement: "How do you say?"
Shen Shi smiled and said, "This guest, I'm sorry, we don't buy this thing on the first floor of the day."
The middle-aged man's face sank immediately, but before he was angry and cursed, Shen Shi had already spoken: "Because the contents of this box are not ranked second-class spirit grass in the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia" published by the Fairy Society. The black copper fruit is a kind of mixed fruit unique to Gaowu Mountain. It is called the black snake fruit. It does not contain any spiritual power. It is useless whether it is for the cultivation of the monks or the alchemy."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his face changed drastically, his eyes stared at the boss, a bit of bloodshot in it, showing a bit of fierce light, and said viciously: "Bastard boy, you can talk nonsense, believe it or not. you!"
Shen Shi's face remained unchanged, and her expression calmly standing there, but the little red the other side of the counter heard the words, but changed her previous amiable expression, her face suddenly became cold, and said lightly: "This guest Please also be careful. Although the first floor of Tianyi opens the door to do business and regards harmony as the price, since this building is the property of Xuanyinmen, it is not so easy to be bullied by people."
Once the three characters Xuanyinmen entered his ears, the middle-aged casual-cultivator man shook his body, and his vicious aura immediately dissipated, but there was still a bit of anger and unwillingness on his face. To know in this world, whether the cultivators in the realm of cultivation have a school background, the status of the disciples of the clan and ordinary casual cultivators is really very different. Even though the number of casual cultivators is extremely large, except for a few rare strangers in such a large number of casual cultivators, most of them are the bottom characters in the realm of cultivation. They are absolutely afraid to provoke the realm of cultivation. Famous in the school. In terms of strength alone, the strength of these cultivation sects that can survive in today's fiercely competitive cultivation world is not to be underestimated, not to mention the famous Xuanyin gate here in Yinzhou, even if it is not as good as the four in the cultivation world. Xuan is a top-notch celebrity, but compared to the casual cultivators at the bottom of the cultivation world, they are really like giants, and they have been crushed to death with just a finger.
Shen Shi smiled, and didn't care about the ferocity of this casual cultivator not long ago. He grew up on the first floor of the day when he was a child. He didn't know how many similar scenes he had seen. He just smiled faintly at this middle-aged man. The casual cultivator said: "If you don't believe me, then I will ask you. You said this fruit is a black copper fruit. How do you determine it?"
The casual cultivator almost without thinking, blurted out and said, "Is it necessary to talk about it? Of course, it is a black body, as big as a finger, born in the damp and damp places of the mountains. When mature, the fruit has a strange fragrance and is rich in spiritual effects. Pill refines the necessary spiritual herbs."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "Yes, the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia is quite familiar."
The casual cultivator was complimented, his expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot, showing a bit of sorrow, he snorted, and said: "Nonsense, we casual cultivators who walk in the rivers and lakes are all on our own. The monsters are too powerful. It's difficult to hunt, and most of the time, you can only cultivate by picking some spirit grass and spirit fruits to replace spirit crystals. If you are not able to see clearly, then you have to?"
Shen Shi smiled without saying a word, and pushed the wooden box closer to him, saying: "There are so many spiritual grasses in the world. There are only 13,750 species recorded in the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia. Many, most of them are just a few sentences like this. Let's take a closer look at the skin of the black fruit, um... pick it up and take a closer look at the light."
He was startled for a while, with a suspicious look on his face. He hesitated for a while, but slowly picked up the wooden box, turned halfway to face the bright place at the gate, slightly squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Shangwu muttered to himself: "This is obviously a black copper fruit. I have to talk nonsense about the black snake..."
Before he finished his words, his voice suddenly choked. At this moment, the faint voice of the teenager came from behind him, saying: "Have you seen it, under the bright skin, is there a dark shadow texture, faintly? Distorted, like a black snake?"
The middle-aged casual repair man froze in general, holding the wooden box for a long while without responding, his eyes fixed on the thing in his hand, an unbelievable look. It’s just that the voice of the boy next to him still came calmly, saying:
The real black copper fruit is the color of black and black, not the blue luster in the black; and the pharmacopoeia is as big as a finger. In fact, it refers to the little finger. This black fruit is a bit too big. In addition, the reason why the black copper fruit is rare, apart from the reason that it grows in the shadow of the old forest in the deep mountains, the most important thing is that after it matures, the fruit The scent is strong and unusual, and it won’t take long to attract mountain monsters to eat, so this kind of spirit fruit is rare on the market. And 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 dull and speechless, with a bit of cold sweat coming out of his forehead, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. Seeing his appearance, Shen Shi shook his head slightly, did not say anything, turned his head to renew Xiao Hong, who was smiling, said hello, and then walked away.
In the first floor of Tianyi, there was a crowd of people coming and going, a row of lively scenes, Shen Shi shuttled between the crowds, and when he came to the gate, when he looked back accidentally, he could see from a distance at the counter, Xiao Hong The girl had already walked away to receive another customer who wanted to sell things, and the middle-aged casual man just now stood still on the spot like a wood in despair.
Shen Shi's mouth twitched slightly, no longer looked at it, and turned and walked out of the first floor of the sky.
