Chapter 263 Green Pine Forest
If it were intercepted on land, Shen Luo might be able to find some clues with his extraordinary five senses, but this happened on water, and any smell would be washed away once it encountered water, so there was nothing he could do.
"It's just the other things in that batch of goods. A batch of red snake grass was also lost. These damn water bandits!" Shopkeeper Ma had a look of resentment in his eyes.
"Red snake grass? Is it a spiritual grass that looks like a red snake and contains extremely poisonous substances? I remember that this grass is just an ordinary spiritual material and can only be used to refine a few poisons. It is not very precious." Shen Luo's classics After seeing the record of this grass, he hesitated and said.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen is not only proficient in the art of talismans, but also has research on alchemy. You are right, ordinary red snake grass is just a rare spiritual material, but what I, Lubaotang, purchased this time was double-pointed red snake grass. Although it is highly poisonous, it also has a strange vitality. It is the main spiritual material for refining the Yuan Condensation Pill and is very precious." Shopkeeper Ma glanced at Shen Luo in slight surprise, and then continued in an indignant voice.
"Father, since the thing is lost, it's useless to think about it anymore. It's better to look away." Ma Xiuxiu came over with a cup of tea at this moment, put it next to Shen Luo's hand, and said with relief.
Shopkeeper Ma nodded helplessly and sighed.
"Condensing Yuan Dan?"
Shen Luo thought of something and blurted out a question.
He had seen records about the Ning Yuan Pill in Fangcun Mountain's ancient books, which was a pill that helped break through the bigu period.
Recently, with the help of his training experience in dreams, he has been practicing quite smoothly. In addition to being excited, he has also increased his ambition. He is no longer satisfied with the Qi refining period. He also wants to advance to the Bigu stage to gain a longer life. , and stronger strength.
In the past few days, while Shen Luo was drawing talismans, he also went into the Bai family's library and read some books about breaking through the Bigu period. He gained a deeper understanding of the difficulties of this level, talent, luck, financial resources, and character. One is indispensable, and even a hundred monks in the Qi Refining Stage may not be able to reach the Bigu Stage.
Although he had a breakthrough experience in the dream, it was all due to his extraordinary qualifications. His qualifications in reality were far inferior to those in the dream. It was unclear whether those experiences would be useful.
But no matter what, he doesn't intend to give up!
"Condensing Yuan Dan is a precious elixir that can help break through the Bigu period. It can increase the success rate by 10% to 20%." Shopkeeper Ma saw Shen Luo's expression and thought he didn't know the efficacy of Condensing Yuan Dan, so he explained .
"Can it only increase the success rate of one or two cities?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.
"This is already very high. Breaking through the two major difficulties in the Bigu stage, liquefying mana and opening up the law veins are extremely difficult and require high talent. It's a pity that the double-pointed red snake grass was taken away. If it can be refined into Yuan Ning Dan, The value immediately increased more than ten times," Shopkeeper Ma sighed sadly.
"Shopkeeper Ma, do you have a way to refine the Yuan Ning Dan? I want to buy one, can you help me?" Shen Luo said with a surprised look on his face, and asked shopkeeper Ma.
"This..." Shopkeeper Ma blushed and was speechless.
"Brother Shen, don't listen to dad's nonsense. How can he refine the Yuan Ning Dan? This purchase of the Double-pointed Red Snake Grass is just to exchange for some items with others. The Ning Yuan Dan is extremely precious and only a few large sects can Only the government and the three major aristocratic families in the entire Jianye City have some inventory of the Ning Yuan Pill, but they control it very strictly and will not let it go outside. Come." Ma Xiuxiu continued what Shopkeeper Ma said.
Shopkeeper Ma scratched his head and chuckled.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
However, he was not disappointed. Guhun Mamian said that you can buy anything in the ghost market, and there should be Yuan Ning Dan for sale there.
"Shopkeeper Ma, according to the market price, how much immortal jade is one Yuan Ning Dan worth?" He asked after pondering for a moment.
"This elixir has always been available and priceless. It is impossible to buy it. I remember that the Lin family purchased one from the government a few years ago for eighty yuan of fairy jade." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated and said.
"Eighty Immortal Jade..." Shen Luo frowned.
He has been working hard these days to do tasks and draw talismans. The number of immortal jade in his hand has accumulated to more than sixty yuan, which is still more than ten yuan short of eighty. This amount is neither too much nor too little, but he doesn't have much time left for himself. , need to hurry up.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Ma, for letting me know. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave now." Shen Luo said goodbye and left without staying here longer.
Time flies, and the day when the ghost market opens is coming soon.
"But we have finally waited for this day." Shen Luo stroked the stone box on the table, hugged it with a piece of green cloth, and carried it on his back.
He didn't waste a single moment of time during this month, he spent all his energy on earning immortal jade, and finally earned eighty pieces of immortal jade yesterday.
Not only the fairy jade, Shen Luo also stuffed all the valuable things on his body into the stone box.
The sky outside had turned dark. Shen Luo stood up and left the Bai Mansion, and soon left the city again.
During this period of time, he had found someone to find out the location of the green pine forest mentioned by Guhun Ma Mian. As soon as he left the city, he walked westward along a small river outside the city.
This river is a branch of Lishuihe and goes straight to the west. You can reach the green pine forest by walking along the river.
It was still early, so Shen Luo was not in a hurry.
Half an hour later, the winding stream finally reached its end, and a lush green pine forest appeared in front of it.
"Is this here?" With a hint of joy on his face, he stepped in and his pupils shrank slightly.
There are tombs standing in the pine forest, which turns out to be a cemetery.
If an ordinary person suddenly walked into a cemetery late at night, he would probably be scared to death, but Shen Luo had killed a lot of real ghosts these days, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of just a cemetery.
"The ghost market and the cemetery go well together." Shen Luo smiled lightly, took out the ghost face mask and put it on his face, took a deep breath and walked into the green pine forest.
This green pine forest is not large, with only seven or eight acres of land. Most of the area is covered by tombs. Walking in it, you always feel that the temperature is a bit lower than outside. The occasional calls of wild cats make the place even more aggravating. The gloomy.
Shen Luo turned a blind eye to this, and quickly completed the circle with a little movement of the slanting moon step. Unfortunately, nothing unusual happened.
"It seems that the ghost market will not appear until midnight." Shen Luo murmured to himself, without walking out of the cemetery, he sat down with his back against a green pine and waited quietly.
After sitting for half an hour, his expression suddenly changed. He quietly stood up and squatted on the ground, hiding his body behind the pine tree and looking out of the pine forest.
A burst of light footsteps came from there, but a gray figure walked over quickly. He was quite tall, wearing a large gray robe with a hood on his head. His whole body was wrapped tightly, and his face was covered with Wearing a mask.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Luo's eyes. The man's face was also wearing a mask with a ghost face.
"Who is so sneaky!"
