Vol 2 Chapter 131: Tentative

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One
"Junior Brother Shen, where are you going?"
The two walked side by side on the mountain road. Xu Yanzhi asked Shen Shi casually. Shen Shi hesitated and said, "I plan to go to Baihetang to take a task and then go down the mountain."
Xu Yanzhi gave a "Huh", sounding a little surprised, and said: "Why, don't you actually plan to leave after the Dan meeting is over?"
Shen Shi was taken aback, and said, "When was the Dan meeting in Dantang?"
Xu Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "Elder Yun Ni has been out of the customs for a few days. I heard that I had a discussion with the great elders yesterday. It must be in these days." She said, she smiled and said again. "Speaking of it, this Danhui may also be regarded as the prelude to the selection of sect disciples in the Fourth Zheng Conference next year. This is a top priority. The sect is highly anticipated, don't you actually care?"
Shen Shi smiled. Of course he had also heard about the Four Major Conferences, but he always felt that he was very far away from him in the past, and he said: "Why, can the winner of this Danhui definitely go?"
Xu Yanzhi naturally said: "That's for sure, all the most talented young disciples of the Dantang line will participate in the Dantang. The final winner will be accepted by Elder Yunni, and will naturally be counted as one place."
Zhong Qinglu's figure appeared in Shen Shi's mind. For a while, he seemed to be at a loss, but then he shook his head and said with a smile: "That's it."
When Xu Yanzhi saw that he did not seem to be interested in this pill meeting, although he felt a little strange, he didn't say much, only smiled and said, "Since you are going down the mountain, are you going to hunt and sharpen it again?"
Shen Shi nodded and said: "Exactly."
Xu Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "How do you use the several spells I introduced to you last time?"
Shen Shi's expression was straightened, and he looked at Xu Yanzhi and said with a serious face: "Those five-element spells have helped me a lot. I really want to thank Senior Sister."
Xu Yanzhi smiled and waved his hand: "A few small things are not enough. By the way, since you are going down the mountain this time, have you ever thought of going to my place to buy some five-element spells?"
Shen Shi hesitated when he heard the words. To tell the truth, he hadn't really thought about this problem before he met Xu Yanzhi today. For one thing, his existing five-element spells seem to be sufficient for the time being, even if there are occasional shortcomings. But he still has a few weird sorcery techniques and the mysterious assassin’s dragon-patterned gold armor. Although the dragon-patterned gold armor is not easy to show up for the time being and the consumption is really amazing, but these methods plus his own The number of refining talisman really wanted to actually fight against the opponent, but Shen Shi's combat power was really not low, and he even crossed the realm several times to directly kill the opponent whose Dao Xing realm was higher than his own.
In addition to gradually gaining confidence in his own strength during the successive battles, the reason why Shen Shi did not continue to purchase and practice new five-element spells too strongly was money.
Originally, after he sold the Kuiwen Demon Pill of the Iron Wolf King Spider to the Fairy Club, he suddenly had four thousand spirit crystals on his body. He was considered the richest time since he practiced, and even Zhong Qinglu had a private transaction with him. It seems that the burden is not so heavy. It's just that people are not as good as the sky. After several changes and twists in Floating Cloud City, after that night, they couldn't help but unexpectedly walked with Ling Chunni.
Looking back on it so far, Shen Shi's heart is not a bit surprised, surprised at his impulse and passion at the time, but Shen Shi has no regrets in his heart for that night. Between ears and temples, in the gentle words, it is his life. Feeling like never before.
He felt that he was very happy, very happy, and he seemed to be able to feel Ling Chunni’s gentle mind, so naturally, he made a decision in his heart to find a safe and secretive person for her in that Floating Cloud City. residence.
Floating Cloud City is a great city for cultivation. Even if it is the simplest and smallest kind of private house suitable for monks, the price will not go as cheap. Although Shen Shi has a lot of spirit crystals, if it is so For one purpose, I was struggling to make ends meet, and I was struggling.
Seeing Shen Shi groaning slightly, Xu Yanzhi raised his brows, and asked a little tentatively: "But I have been nervous recently, are there no spirit crystals?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, nodded, and said apologetically: "It's true. When I have more money in the future, I will definitely go to the Hall of Five Elements to find Senior Sister you."
Xu Yanzhi let out a "hmm", nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking for a moment, and then said: "Well, you should go to the Five Elements Hall with me, maybe it will be a pleasant surprise for you."
Shen Shi was startled and said, "What?"
Xu Yanzhi smiled without answering, and said, "You will know it in the past."
※※※
Speaking of this, Shen Shi was not particularly eager to descend the mountain, so he followed Xu Yanzhi to the Hall of Five Elements.
As usual, the Hall of Five Elements in the Shutang Hall is still deserted and unreliable. You can't see a few people when you crane your neck. There is not much popularity in the huge hall, and it looks a bit gloomy.
However, Xu Yanzhi and Shen Shi are both people who have come and go here many times. Naturally, they ignore the scenery of these foreign objects. After walking into the Hall of Five Elements, Xu Yanzhi looks at no one on the left and right, the corners of his mouth are slightly drawn with a smile, and he looks up and down. After a moment of Shen Shi, he said, "Junior Brother Shen, it's like this. You've bought spells here before. You must know that the spells sold in the Hall of Five Elements to Zongmen disciples are generally expensive."
Shen Shi nodded, and the last three second-order spells had directly left his six hundred spirit crystals, but it caused him pain for a long time.
Xu Yanzhi's eyes turned slightly, and the corner of his eyes seemed to casually glance at a hidden side door in the Hall of Five Elements, then smiled gently at Shen Shi and said: "Those prices are indeed a bit expensive, but they are all set by our elder Pu in Shutang. I can’t do anything about it. But now, to be precise, last night, in a batch of spell catalogs left by his old man, there is actually a price of a third-order and five-element spell, only one hundred spirit crystals. ."
"What?" Shen Shi was startled, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was even a little excited, "Tier 3 spells only sell 100 spirit crystals, only...half of Tier 2 spells. ?"
Xu Yanzhi smiled and nodded, and said, "That's it. Originally, there are not many people who come to the Shutang to buy high-level spells. Generally speaking, they can't sell them, but I saw you just now. I thought maybe you would want something?"
"Yes!" Shen Shi immediately agreed categorically, what a joke, that the price of the third-order spell was originally at least a thousand spirit crystals or even higher, and now there is such an opportunity, not a pie in the sky. What is it again? It's just that he thought about it, maybe it was the words that the old man said to him back then. After hesitating for a moment, Shen Shi said softly to Xu Yanzhi: "Senior Sister, but this... will this anger later? The elder Pu? It's the two of us that might be unlucky."
Xu Yanzhi snorted and said, "Don't worry, Pu Chang is getting older and forgetting, and he is very confused. He will definitely not remember this."
"P", a small sound, from a hidden hut in the Hall of Five Elements, Elder Pu Si Yipu, that is, the old man Pu with white beard and goatee, sat at the table in the room, staring at the table. A bronze mirror with an ancient style reflects the movements of Xu Yanzhi and Shen Shi in the Hall of Five Elements. He looked angry, stared at Xu Yanzhi, snorted, and said to himself annoyed here:
"Rebels, rebels, dare to say that to me, it's really against the heavens!"
In the main hall, Shen Shi let go of his heart, and suddenly he didn't have any eager expectations in his heart. He was very interested in the five-element technique, otherwise he would not have been able to persist on the difficult and boring Talisman Road for so many years since he was young. But now that six or seven of his own strengths are in the Five Elements Spells and Talismans, having such a good opportunity to practice high-level Spells is really what he dreams of.
"Senior Sister, what kind of technique is that?" Shen Shi said to Xu Yanzhi with some excitement.
Xu Yanzhi smiled slightly, and suddenly said, "Junior Brother Shen, do you believe me in my vision of the Five Elements Technique?"
Shen Shi was startled and said, "Senior Sister has practiced for many years, and she has far better knowledge of Taoism than me in this way. Of course I believe Senior Sister."
Xu Yanzhi smiled and nodded, and said, "That’s fine, Junior Brother Shen, before I hand over the Tier 3 spells to you, can you please be in this Hall of Five Elements and perform a few spells for a while, let me watch from the side. Then you can judge whether the third-order spell is suitable for you, because that spell is indeed a bit...a bit different."
"Unusual Tier 3 spells?" Shen Shi frowned slightly, feeling confused in her heart. Thinking back to the Tier 3 spells that he had seen and understood in the past, it seemed that there was no spell that was so mysterious and abnormal?
But watching Xu Yanzhi standing there with a smile, there is no other abnormality, and the attractiveness of Tier 3 spells is really extraordinary. This opportunity is even more rare in a lifetime. Shen Shi still took a deep breath and said, "Okay, brother. I'm just showing my ugliness, and ask Senior Sister Xu for advice."
Xu Yanzhi smiled and nodded, and then led him to the side of the Hall of Five Elements. There were several wooden dummy erected here. Because the place was remote, I didn't notice it when Shenshi came here last time. Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, "Whatever technique you use, just hit these dummies a few times anyway."
Shen Shi nodded, indicating that he had understood that Xu Yanzhi stepped back and stood aside, and then glanced at somewhere beside the Five Elements Hall.
Shen Shi stood about ten steps away from the wooden dummies. After breathing for a while, he took advantage of this opportunity to turn a lot of thoughts in his heart. His family knew about his family affairs, and of course he knew that he had practiced Yin and Yang. After cursing two spells, the five-element spells he now releases, both in terms of casting speed and spell power, are much stronger than ordinary monks' spells, but this matter has always been a secret he carefully protected. Of course, try to keep it secret as much as possible, at least not let Xu Yanzhi discover too many abnormalities.
He took a peek at Xu Yanzhi who was standing on the side, and after taking a deep breath, his arm slowly raised, which was a standard five-element spell casting movement.
Xu Yanzhi is a disciple from Shutang. He is very familiar with this kind of action. At a glance, he can tell that it is a first-order fireball technique, and there is nothing surprising about it, but Shen Shi is obviously very familiar with it. , The movements are so proficient, he can't help but nod and smile.
However, what she didn't know, Shen Shi was actually putting more than half of his energy on suppressing the spiritual power in the body at the moment. Originally, the spellcasting was naturally the sooner the better, but he suppressed it secretly at this time. Spiritual power flowed, slowing down at least half of the speed at which he could cast fireball, which seemed basically the same as an ordinary monk.
There may be some changes in this, but it is already extremely small, Xu Yanzhi didn't notice it at all. In fact, the talents of different monks are different, and the difference in casting speed is normal. There is nothing to fuss about at all, so she kept smiling and standing. There, watching Shen Shi completely release a fireball technique, from the light of the fire, the flame appeared, and then formed a fireball under the aura of aura, gathered in the palm, and then finally launched, her expression was very calm. , Anyway... Actually it's not what she wants to see.
And in that secret hut, Old Man Pu also looked at Shen Shi carefully. After seeing the movements of his hands, he nodded slightly and said softly: "Well, the movements are proficient, not bad." Then he looked all the way down. His expression was no different from that of Xu Yanzhi outside, but at a certain point in the middle, it was almost a short period of time when sinking stones gathered flames to form a fireball and gathered in his palm. Old Man Pu was suddenly startled.
"Huh? Why is this fireball forming so fast?"
