Chapter 95: pressure

"Here, here you are, take it back and take it when you practice."
In the stone room, Zhong Qinglu handed a white jade bottle to Zhong Qinglu who was standing by. Zhong Qingzhu took it and opened it. He was taken aback and said, "Yang Qi Dan?"
Zhong Qinglu nodded, with a smug look on her face, and said, "Recently, I have become almost completely familiar with refining Qi Yang Pill. I can make it at least three times out of five times, or even four times, so I have a lot of surplus. Look. Before you borrowed a lot of spirit crystals from me to buy that pill furnace, this bottle will be given to you."
Zhong Qinglu smiled, took it, and said, "Then thank you sister."
Zhong Qinglu’s relationship with this distant cousin now seems to be much closer than when she first went to the island. I don’t know if it’s because of the friendship between them, or because she has grown up a little bit in the past few years. No matter how irritable she was at the beginning, she is pretty good to Zhong Qingzhu now, but maybe it's just because Zhong Qingzhu generously lent her money to buy the pill furnace.
Listening to Zhong Qingzhu’s thanks, Zhong Qinglu seemed to be in a better mood, smiled and walked to the side table to tinker with something, Zhong Qingzhu walked to her and took a look, and said strangely:
Hey, there are two bottles of Yangqi Pills. Sister, do you plan to take it by yourself or sell it to Dantang?"
Zhong Qinglu hesitated, glanced at her, and said, "No, I intend to give these two bottles to Shen Shi."
Zhong Qingzhu was taken aback, as if he didn't expect this answer at all. After a moment of stunned, her voice sounded a little strange, saying: "Sister, these two bottles of Qi Yang Pill are very valuable. Why do you want to give it to Brother Shen?"
Zhong Qinglu stopped talking, her delicate brows frowned, and she suddenly said impatiently: "Oh, you ask so much what to do, anyway, I just tell him. It's the pill that I refined, don't worry about so many. !"
Zhong Qingzhu took a step back, and after a moment of silence, he whispered: "Oh, I see."
Zhong Qinglu put away the two bottles of Yangqi Pills on the table, hid them in her arms, and then walked out. Zhong Qingzhu followed her out of the door of the stone room, and then watched her walk all the way, the direction seemed to be Shenshi's cave.
She looked at it blankly for a while, then turned away blankly.

"What are you doing?"
At the same time, in Shenshidongfu, Sun You looked at a large stack of white paper on the table with a bewildered expression, and Shenshi writing a variety of distorted and retro-looking fonts and graphics on the paper concentratingly.
Shen Shi glanced at him and said simply, "Fu Lu."
Sun You looked around, then looked at Shen Shi. With his family background, of course it is impossible to completely know some basic common sense in the cultivation world. Suddenly he took a breath and opened his eyes, saying:" No, not only did you learn the five-element technique, now are you also practicing the Tao of Talisman?"
Shen Shi paused for a while, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then raised his head and smiled, and said, "I just like this kind of stuff. It's not too serious to play casually when I have free time."
Sun You heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Well, the trail like Fu Lu is too unconventional and involves a lot of energy. It is really not suitable for us to get involved in the realm of our qi refining state. Otherwise, it will delay our own practice, which is not good. ."
Shen Shi smiled, nodded to him, and then said: "If you don't go to the animal farm today to do something, you ran over to find me, is this something?"
Sun You nodded, but didn't speak immediately. Shen Shi waited for a while, but found that there was no sound there, which was a bit strange. He raised his head and looked at him in astonishment and said, "What's wrong?"
The expression on Sun You's face was a little twitchy. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Shen Shi, we have known each other for three years and we are neighbors again. Are we...are we good brothers?"
Shen Shi didn't speak, but looking at Sun You's expression slowly became a little weird. Sun You laughed and said, "Okay, I won't be a dumb puzzler with you, I mean to say..."
Seeing that Ai Ai paused for a period of time, Shen Shi couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
Sun You stomped his feet and said, "Shen Shi, Brother Shen, let's borrow some spirit crystals from my younger brother!"
Shen Shi shook his body, staring at Sun You, unable to speak for a long time.

"You did a good job at the animal farm. Why do you suddenly want so much money for a hundred spirit crystals?"
Shen Shi looked at Sun You in a somewhat unbelievable way, and asked in astonishment.
Sun You's face was a bit twisted, he wanted to speak, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable, Shen Shi frowned, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. Now he can be said to be a triple burden. He needs spiritual crystals for his own cultivation, and Zhong Qinglu needs spiritual crystals for alchemy. From the Five Elements Hall, after the Talisman's small explanation, every month he needs to pay off his debts, he also needs spirit crystals. Now he is really allergic to spirit crystals and citrus. Being suddenly spoken by this friend Sun, I really couldn't accept it.
Sun You was thinking about talking. Suddenly he only heard a few clicks from Shimen, but someone knocked on the door. Shen Shi walked over and opened the door with a cloud symbol, but Zhong Qinglu walked in with a calm face. But when I saw Shen Shi there was still a faint smile on his face, and said: "Shen Shi, I am here...Huh, Sun You, why are you here?"
Sun Youben looked at Zhong Qinglu strangely. He rolled his eyes immediately after hearing such an unceremonious question from her boss, snorted, and said, "Shen Shi is my brother. I can't see him."
Zhong Qinglu didn't deal with him in the first place, and she was not inferior to him in terms of sharp teeth and mouth. She was willing to suffer this loss and chuckled and said, "Your brother is called Sun Heng, and that is your cousin. "
Sun You snorted and seemed to be still talking. Shen Shi quickly interrupted the two of them and said to Zhong Qinglu: "Is there something wrong?"
Zhong Qinglu originally touched it with one hand in her arms. At this time, seeing You Sun was present, she thought about it and put it down, then looked at Shen Shi and said:
"Give me ten spirit crystals."
"Hey," Shen Shi shook his hand, and the cloud symbol he grasped in his palm fell to the ground with a bitter expression on his face.

"I can't live this day..."
Shen Shi sat on the deck heading to the Demon Island, with his back leaning against the ship's rail, with a frowning expression, sighing. At the end of yesterday, Sun You still returned in disappointment. He finally did not explain why he suddenly needed a hundred spirit crystals, and Shen Shi did not give it to him. It was not that he did not want to lend him money to Sun You, but Shen Shi himself. There really are not so many spirit crystals.
In contrast, Zhong Qinglu, who came to the door with a grinning grin, needed a small number of spirit crystals, so in Sun You's strange eyes, Shen Shi couldn't elaborate on him, so he had to bite the bullet and give him ten spirit crystals. Zhong Qinglu.
At the thought of so many deflated pockets and heavy debts that can be predicted in the future, Shen Shi couldn't help feeling a little headache. His appearance fell in the eyes of Gan Ze, who was on the same boat with him, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange, and couldn't help but say: "Shen Shi, what's the matter with you?"
Shen Shi woke up, raised his head and cut him a glance, smiled bitterly without explaining the meaning, and said: "Uh...it's nothing, I'm just worried that the speed of earning spirit crystals is too slow and not enough."
Gan Ze was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Aren't we just cultivating on weekdays? I haven't heard that you have other practices that cost a lot of spirit crystals. Why is it not enough?"
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Um...Didn't you tell me about Fu Lu the other day?"
Gan Ze glanced at him and said with a smile: "What do you mean, do you really go to learn?"
"Well, really learned it."
Gan Ze said sincerely: "You are amazing, the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm started directly practicing the Tao of Talisman. You are really the first person I have ever met."
Shen Shi smiled bitterly and said, "But I find that the spirit crystal is not enough now."
Gan Ze thought for a moment and nodded: "The Talisman is indeed very expensive. With our current ability, it is indeed a bit difficult in terms of financial resources. But if you want to earn more spirit crystals faster, it is not actually No way."
Shen Shi raised his brows and said, "Oh, what can I do? Let's listen."
Gan Ze smiled and said, "You wander around the edge of the demon island every day, and you hunt for the lowest-level monsters. You can only gain much each time. If you want to earn more spirit crystals, follow me. Go deep into the Demon Island and look for those high-level monsters."
Shen Shi raised his head and glanced at him, only to see that Gan Ze was smiling, but there was no joking in his expression. It seemed that he was saying this very seriously, but after Shen Shi pondered for a moment, he finally shook his head. Said: "Let's forget it first, my Dao Xing is a small level lower than you, and it still doesn't feel good to beat those ferocious monsters on the island."
Gan Ze shrugged and said: "Then you are free, anyway, I think this is the way."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "When I reach the high level of the Qi Refining Realm, I will accompany you, not to mention the depths of the Demon Island. Even if it is the Demon Hunting Cave, we can still take a peek."
Gan Ze's face changed suddenly.
Shen Shi looked in his eyes and frowned, "What's the matter?"
Gan Zeqiang smiled, shook his head, and said, "The monsters in the monster trap are very powerful. We still need to be fully prepared before we can go there."
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Of course."
After Gan Ze said these words, he didn't seem to like to continue talking. He quickly closed his eyes and calmed down. Shen Shi didn't bother him when he saw it, and the deck soon fell into silence.
※※※
When they arrived at the Demon Island, they disembarked from the big boat. As they did in the past, they parted ways outside the forest. Ganze walked to the depths of the Demon Island, while Shenshi walked along the beach outside the Demon Island.
It’s just that on this day, Shen Shi is still a little bit different compared to the past, especially after he walked for a while and made sure that there was no one around him but himself, his face showed a bit of excitement and expectation, but he stretched out his hand. He touched the little Ruyi ring on his left hand, and after a while, there was an extra piece of yellow talisman paper three inches wide and four inches long in his right hand.
The bizarre and twisted runes formed a rune array, clearly appearing on this yellow rune paper. If a monk who knows the five elements magic and runes together, he would recognize this popular name "yellow rune paper". On the lowest-level talisman paper, there are a total of three Yangshui Talisman forming a talisman array, and then after passing through the spirit, the spiritual energy contained in it faintly exudes, it is a "water archery" talisman.
