Chapter 14: Nanbaofang

Fireball is the lowest-level first-order spell among the five-element spells. Under normal circumstances, for monks who have the right to walk in the body, especially the monks whose realm has reached the Ning Yuan realm, the power of this magical spell cannot be too great. Threatened. Only at this moment, Shen Shi is still just an ordinary teenager who has not yet started to practice. He saw a ball of fiery fire rushing towards him, the heat wave rolled, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but his body didn't seem to react as much as he wanted. Quickly, only a slight dodge action was made, but there was no way to avoid this fireball, and he was about to be hit by the fireball in person.
At this moment, the angle at which the fireball rushed seemed to suddenly deviate, tilted towards the right side of his head, and it was able to rush over his shoulder. A moment later, it banged behind him. Above an old branch in the yard, there was a crackling roar, and the fire light lit up, scorching a branch and leaf.
Shen Shiqing couldn't help stepping back a few steps, turning his head to look at the smoky branches on the old tree. He couldn't help feeling lingering. At this time, the butcher's laughter came from behind him and said: "How about , How about this fireball technique?"
Shen Shi glanced at him sullenly, but still honestly said: "Scare me, but it seems that the power is not small."
The butcher smiled, shook his head and said: "It just looks good." He glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "I know your father asked you to copy the runes of runes from a young age, but this kind of side-by-side trail consumes energy. Not to mention, it's not very useful. In the future, if you join the High Heaven Sect, I don't think you should waste unnecessary energy on this."
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I know." In fact, whether it is him or his fat father, Shen Tai, he knows a little bit in his heart, but Shen Tai's aptitude for cultivation was too bad. , Except for such sideways like Fu Lu, Shen Shi could not be taught anything.
Looking up at the sky, I saw the blue sky high and wide, a few white clouds floating in the sky, and the distant faintly sound of birds singing, it should be seabirds flying in the sea breeze. Floating Cloud City is located on the shore of the sea, and you can see the endless sea not far from the city.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, only to feel the fresh air, which made his body feel a little more comfortable, then turned his head and asked the butcher, "Uncle, what else do we have today?"
The butcher thought for a while, and said, "Today I'm fine. I will go to the branch in this city later. I will get a token and come back. I will take you outside the city to worship Xianyan until tomorrow. Even if it's done."
Shen Shi let out a "huh", and after a pause, with some expectations, he said, "Uncle, since I am free today and there is nothing left or right, I want to go to this Floating Cloud City casually."
The butcher froze for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and then he smiled and said, "Well, anyway, this place is tens of thousands of miles away from Yinzhou. Forgive him no matter how long his mysterious hands are, he can't rise here. "
Shen Shi smiled without saying a word, and then the butcher entered the house and tidied up casually, then came out and took Shen Shi out. Only when he walked out of the gate, Shen Shi followed the butcher, and suddenly asked him, saying:
"Uncle, when I first met you a few years ago, were you already a member of the Fairy Society?"
The butcher's footsteps paused slightly, and then he glanced at the young man beside him, and saw that Shen Shi's expression remained as usual, as if he just asked such a question inadvertently. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Shi gave a soft "Oh" and said nothing more.

The house where the two of them lived was located in the south of Floating Cloud City. The butcher took Shen Shi along a street, and he saw that the surrounding area suddenly became lively. Several streets appeared in front of him at the same time. There were tall buildings, loud voices, and pedestrians. There were so many monks, Shen Shiqing couldn't help but stop, watching the scene in front of him, and he was amazed.
Here is a random street, which looks a bit more prosperous than the Horseshoe Street in Xilu City, Yinzhou, not to mention a few gatherings, and the monks in front are raining, there are many strangers in strange costumes, and they can even be seen. To many weirdos with strange pets.
The butcher smiled and pointed forward, and said, "This is the Nanbao Workshop in Floating Cloud City. In addition, there are also similar workshops in the Middle East, West, and North of the city. Lingcai merchants gather here. It is the most prosperous city in the southern sixteen states of the Hongmeng Realms. No matter how rare and rare spiritual treasures are, they can basically be found in Floating Cloud City."
Shen Shi nodded again and again. Perhaps he grew up in a big shop like the first floor of Tianyi. In his bones he has a natural sense of intimacy with this bustling market. He laughed and said: "It's really lively. By comparison, I think Xilu City is the countryside."
The butcher laughed loudly and said, "This is the way it is."
As they said, the two walked forward together. The butcher took Shen Shi into a wide street. After about a hundred feet through the crowd, Shen Shi saw a towering pavilion appeared in front of him, solemn and spacious. The monks in the store came and went, and there were three big characters on the door plaque.
The butcher stopped, turned his head and said to Shen Shi: "I'll go in and do something, you can just stroll around here, and I will wait for you at this door in two hours, okay?"
Shen Shi nodded and said: "Okay."
The butcher exhorted him again, saying: "Tomorrow you are going to worship Xianyan, you should be careful at this juncture, and don't delay major events."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "I see."
The butcher seemed to know Shen Shi’s temperament, but he was not too worried about him. He pointed to the front of this street and said,
The five streets of Nanbaofang are very lively and there are many shops. Besides that. In addition, there is a Nantian Gate when you go north. There is an open area near the lake. The site is not small. On weekdays, it is customary for many casual repair stalls to sell spiritual materials. People often find some good treasures." After that, he smiled and glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "You little guy, you can be regarded as a small famous eye in Xilu City. If you have time, , You can also go there."
Shen Shi didn't think that the butcher had also heard of his little fame in the past, he laughed, and said, "I see, thank you, uncle."
The butcher turned and walked into the lively shop hall of the Fairy Fair, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye. Shen Shi stood on the street, for a moment, in the crowded crowds, suddenly there was a moment of confusion, alone, far away in this strange city, and in the home where he had lived for twelve years. , Has long since disappeared.
He shook his head, cheered up, turned and walked forward.
Floating Cloud City is known as the largest city in the south and is the most prosperous city. It really deserves its reputation. Shen Shi only walked in this Nanbaofang for a while, and after looking at seven or eight shops, he saw many rare and rare spiritual materials. At the same time, it is obvious that there are many spiritual materials and goods here, and there is a monk training center. The necessary resources can almost be collected in such a place, of course, the premise is that you need to have enough spiritual crystals.
However, compared with the spiritual materials in Xilu City, the price of the spiritual materials in Floating Cloud City seemed to be 10 to 20% cheaper.
In the shops and the crowds, Shen Shi had a familiar feeling from the heart, as if he had returned to the city where he had lived for twelve years and returned to that place. Familiar first floor of the sky.
He was very interested and in a good mood. The family members looked over and quickly confirmed that in this Nanbaofang, as long as it seems that the size of the shop is not small, all the spiritual materials sold are almost genuine. Yes, in this process, he also saw a lot of rare spiritual materials in Xilu City that he had only seen from the scrolls but had never seen before, and it was an eye-opener.
After walking around in this way, an hour passed without knowing it before Shen Shi looked at a street in Nanbaofang. When he walked back to the street again, he saw a small lake suddenly appeared in front of him. The water was clear, and dozens of lotus leaves of various heights were scattered on the edge. It's still late spring, and it's not the midsummer season, so the lotus in the lake is still in bloom. However, in this lakeside place, under a tall archway, the boss is in a clearing, but it is another lively scene, countless monks gathered here, bustling like a busy city, presumably this is the Nantian Gate that the butcher said before.
There were many shops and shops in Xilu City, but it was the first time that Shen Shi saw the scene of so many casual practitioners gathering newsstands, and he couldn't help but a little bit of curiosity and walked over.
After walking for a while on the open space of Nantianmen, Shen Shi really saw that there were many casual repair stalls for sale. Most people just circled a small area, and laid a piece of silk for those who were more particular. The spiritual treasures for sale are placed on the ground and sold over there.
After turning around for a short time, Shen Shi understood this place a little bit more or less. The casual cultivators who sold things here looked like everything, some were embarrassed by the past, and some looked very bold. The tone was very loud. As for the spiritual materials peddled by everyone, after looking at it carefully for a while with his eyesight, he realized that it was exactly what the butcher said, and the spiritual materials peddled by casual practitioners here are indeed far inferior to those in large shops There are countless fakes and fakes, but there are indeed some genuine spiritual materials. For example, he saw a few second-grade spiritual plants in a stall before, and there is another scattered repair pocket. The few strange stones sold are also rare second-grade spirit mines, which are indeed good things, and most importantly, the price of spirit materials here in Nantianmen will be at least about half cheaper than in shops.
In this way, as long as you have good eyesight, you can find a lot of good things in this lively place.
However, although Shen Shi has good eyesight and saw a few decent spiritual materials, he did not intend to buy them. For one thing, it is useless for him to buy these spiritual materials. Secondly, he now only has three on his body. Lingjing, something slightly better, he really couldn't afford it.
But anyway, Nantian Gate is here, and you can't escape. After you enter the Lingxiaozong in the future, you can find a way to get more spirit crystals, and then you can come to Taobao.
Shen Shi comforted himself like this in his heart, but at the same time, his interest was not diminished. He walked briskly around this Nantian Gate where casual repairs gathered.
As he walked, he was stopping at a booth to look at a spiritual grass, weighing and judging whether it was the rare second-grade spiritual grass "Sky Luoye" or another similar first-grade low-grade spiritual grass." "Hei Xing Lan", I heard a soft voice coming from a stall not far from next door. It sounded very weird. There was a strange feeling of body chilling, and the words spoken were not considered to be You are so kind, saying:
"Old man, how many spirit crystals does this ore sell?"
Shen Shi subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a tall and thin man standing in front of the stall next door, with his eyebrows hanging, describing the skinny and skinny, he looked like a skeleton with only a layer of skin, which is really impressive. There is a sense of horror.
Shen Shi only took a look, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He quickly moved his eyes away, secretly stunned, thinking that there is someone who has such a strange appearance, and at the same time, he followed the stall owner over there to talk to the weird man. With his words, he glanced at the booth over there.
The stall owner seemed to be a casual cultivator. The stall in front of him was sparsely placed with more than ten pieces of spiritual materials for sale, a few bottles and jars, a few spiritual plants, a few stones, and one The two pieces of monster spirit bone fur are just the portrayal of the vast majority of stalls in this way. They have everything, but not many. Because of embarrassment, they will collect spiritual materials with a little value. , In order to exchange for some spirit crystals to continue practicing.
But their words were louder at the moment. The focus of the argument was a khaki stone on the stall. According to the stall owner, this is a good-quality second-grade pyrite "topazite", which is widely used, especially for forging immortals. When the home magic weapon is a kind of earth-based spiritual material that is quite easy to use, it is expensive.
After observing it for a long while, the weird seemed to confirm that this topaz was true, but he doubted the quality of the topaz. He insisted that there were more than ten spirit crystals offered by the stall owner, and only wished to buy two.
The two of them had been bargaining for a long time. Their respective psychological prices were too far apart, and they had not been able to reach an agreement. The stall owner was a broad-faced man, who looked a little anxious, and argued with the weird man. He also waved his arms to increase his tone of voice, swept across the booth accidentally, and knocked down a small can next to him, without paying attention.
Between the palms, the small pot fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and the bottom of the pot flashed in Shen Shi's sight, and a broken pattern that had been eroded by many appeared before his eyes.
Shen Shi slowly turned his head, still looking at the unidentified spiritual grass in front of him, but suddenly frowned, thoughtful.
