big dream master

He had seen the record of Ningyuan Pill in Fangcun Mountain's classics, which was a kind of elixir to help break through the bigu period.

Recently, with the assistance of his cultivation experience in the dream, his cultivation has been quite smooth. Besides being excited, his ambition has also increased. He is no longer satisfied with the Qi refining stage, and he also wants to advance to the bigu stage to obtain a longer lifespan , and stronger strength.

In the past few days, besides drawing talismans, Shen Luo also entered the library of the Bai family to read some books about breaking through the bigu period, and gained a deeper understanding of the difficulty of this hurdle, talent, luck, financial resources, character, One is indispensable, a hundred monks in the Qi refining stage may not be able to produce a bigu stage.

Although he had a breakthrough experience in the dream, it was all due to his extraordinary aptitude. His aptitude in reality was far inferior to that in the dream, so it was uncertain whether those experiences would work.

But no matter what, he doesn't intend to give up!

"Ningyuan Pill is a precious medicine that can help break through the bigu period, and it can increase the success rate by [-] to [-] percent." Seeing Shen Luo's expression, shopkeeper Ma thought that he didn't know the effect of Ningyuan Pill, and explained .

"It can 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 of the bigu period, the liquefaction of mana and the development of mana veins are extremely difficult, and the requirements for talent are very high. It is a pity that those double-pointed red snake grasses were taken. If they can be refined into Condensing Yuan Pill, The value has increased by more than ten times immediately." Shopkeeper Ma sighed.

"Is there a way for shopkeeper Ma to refine the Condensation Pill? I want to buy one, can you help me?" Shen Luo showed surprise, and cupped his hands to shopkeeper Ma.

"This..." Shopkeeper Ma blushed, and he was speechless.

"Brother Shen, don't listen to daddy's nonsense. He has no way to refine the Condensation Pill. The purchase of the double-pointed red snake grass this time is just to exchange some items with others. The Condensation Pill is extremely precious. Only a few large sects There is no alchemist in Jianye City who can refine this pill. As for Ningyuan Pill, only the government and the three major families in Jianye City have a little stock, but they control it extremely strictly and will not be left outside Come." Ma Xiuxiu followed what shopkeeper Ma said, and said.

The horse shopkeeper scratched his head and laughed.

When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

But he wasn't disappointed either. Hooking Ma Mian said that anything can be bought in the ghost market, and there should be Condensing Yuan Pills for sale there.

"Horse shopkeeper, according to the market price, how much immortal jade is a Condensed Yuan Pill worth?" He asked after pondering for a moment.

"This pill has always been priceless in the market, and it is impossible to buy. I remember that the Lin family bought one from the government a few years ago, and spent 80 yuan of immortal jade." Shopkeeper Ma said hesitantly.

"Eighty Immortal Jade..." Shen Luo frowned.

In the past few days, he has worked hard 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 away from eighty. This amount is neither too much nor too little, but there is not 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 first." Shen Luo didn't stay here any longer, and left.

Time flies, and the day when the ghost market opens is coming soon.

"But it's finally this day." Shen Luo gently 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 bit of time during this month, and devoted all his energy to earning immortal jade, and finally earned a full 80 yuan of immortal jade yesterday.

Not only immortal jade, Shen Luo stuffed all the valuable things on his body into the stone box.

It was getting dark outside, Shen Luo got up and left the White Mansion, turned around and left the city not long after.

During this period of time, he had found someone to find out the location of the green pine forest that Hooking Ma Mian had mentioned. 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 it goes straight to the west, and you can reach the green pine forest along the river.

It was still early, so Shen Luo was not in a hurry.

Half an hour later, the meandering creek finally came to an end, and a lush green pine forest also appeared in front of it.

"Is this right here?" With a gleam of joy on his face, he walked in, his pupils shrinking slightly.

In the pine forest stood one after another tombs, which turned out to be a cemetery.

If it were an ordinary person, if they suddenly walked to a cemetery late at night, they would probably be scared to death, but Shen Luo has killed a lot of real ghosts these days, so naturally he would not be afraid of mere cemeteries.

"The ghost market and the cemetery are also compatible." Shen Luo smiled lightly, took out the ghost mask and put it on his face, took a deep breath, and walked into the green pine forest.

This piece of green pine forest is not big, only seven or eight acres of land, most of the place is covered by tombs, walking in it always feels that the temperature is a little lower than outside, and the occasional wild cats call, which intensifies this place. gloomy.

Shen Luo turned a blind eye to this, and ran the oblique moon steps a little, and quickly completed a circle, but unfortunately nothing unusual happened.

"It seems that the ghost market will not appear until midnight." Shen Luo muttered to himself, and 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 complexion suddenly changed, and he quietly got up and squatted on the ground, hiding his body behind the pine tree, and looked out of the pine forest.

There was a sound of light footsteps coming from there, but a gray figure walked over quickly. He was quite tall, wearing a large gray robe and a hood on his head. wearing a mask.

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Luo's eyes, the man was wearing a grimace mask.

"Who is sneaky!"

Chapter 0264

The gray-robed figure stopped suddenly, and the eyes under the mask shot out two blade-like cold lights, looked towards Shen Luo, shouted in a deep voice, but it was a hoarse man's voice.

Shen Luo was shocked in his heart. Before he came, he had already smeared the potion that could eliminate the smell on his body for the sake of caution, and he had already held his breath. The distance between the two sides was more than ten feet away, but he was still discovered by the other party.

If the two moved to another place, he thought to himself that he might not be able to find each other.

"It's not sneaky, I just got here earlier." Shen Luo turned his mind, walked out calmly, and said in a hoarse voice.

The other party is wearing a grimace mask, and most likely he is going to the ghost market, and he will meet each other sooner or later, so there is no need to hide.

"You also went to the ghost market?" The gray-robed figure was slightly surprised when he saw the mask on Shen Luo's face.

"That's right, it's the same when you look at your Excellency. Since everyone is traveling together, there is no need to make the atmosphere so tense." Shen Luo said with a smile, and sat down again.

The figure in the gray robe nodded slowly, his eyes were no longer so sharp, he stepped into the pine forest, and started to search around just like Shen Luo just now.

"It seems that this person is also a novice, entering the ghost market for the first time." Seeing this scene, Shen Luo thought to himself.

The gray-robed figure searched around, but also found nothing, so he didn't continue to work in vain, and found a place more than ten feet away from the sinking to sit cross-legged.

The two sat quietly with each other, the time passed little by little, and the night was getting darker.

It's just that in this wilderness, there is no watchman to tell the time, and there is no sound of cock crowing, so it is difficult to grasp the time.

His downcast eyes suddenly lifted up, and he stood up.

Calculating the time may be difficult for others, but he does not take any effort at all. He has been familiar with medical skills since he was a child. He once read a medical formula called "Ziwu Liuzhu", which said that the twelve meridians in the human body correspond to During the twelve hours of the day, at different times, the qi and blood of the twelve meridians of the human body will run slightly differently. For example, during the child's time, the qi and blood will flow into the gallbladder meridian, while during the ugly time, it will flow into the liver meridian.

Over the years, he has been groping, and he has completely mastered the meridian flow, and reversed the time according to the movement of his own qi and blood.

Just now, Qi and blood began to flow into the acupoints in the gallbladder meridian, which means that the time of the child is coming soon.

The gray-robed figure at the side noticed Shen Luo's actions, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he also stood up.

At this moment, a creepy coolness suddenly surged in the nearby air, the mask on the sinking face suddenly became icy cold, a faint black air gushed out from above, quickly enveloped his body, and then tightly on his skin.

His appearance changed rapidly, a few breaths turned into a brown-haired black-skinned ghost, and the aura he exuded suddenly became cold, just like those ghosts.

The situation of the gray-robed man not far away was the same, he turned into a dark red ghost.

The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

At the same time, the nearby void suddenly darkened, and countless gray mist emerged out of thin air, drowning everything around in an instant.

Shen Luo's heart shuddered, and he took out the Ghost Howling Ring with his hands.

And his other hand flashed a yellow shadow, and there were two more small thunder charms, ready to go.

But the surrounding gray mist is just the void covering the surroundings, and there is no other abnormality.

Countless gray mist surged for a moment, then suddenly drifted away quickly, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically. It was no longer the pine forest, but a desolate Gobi.

The ground is full of black gravel, except for a little moss occasionally growing in the crevices of the stones, there are no other signs of life.

And there are wisps of gray mist floating on this desolate Gobi, you can only see a distance of twenty or thirty feet, if you go any farther, you will be shrouded in gray mist, and you can't see anything.

"This is the ghost market? Why is it so desolate, let alone the market, there is not a single ghost." Seeing this scene, Shen Luo was astonished.

The gray-robed man had already stood less than five feet away from the sinking, with a gray ghost-head knife in his hand, and looked around in surprise.

Shen Luo didn't move immediately, looked around, pondered for a while, and walked towards the gray-robed man.

Hearing the voice, the man immediately looked over alertly, looking extremely cautious.

Seeing his appearance like this, Shen Luo felt relieved.

"This fellow Taoist has invited me. I don't mean anything malicious. This place looks weird. We came from the same place. We are half of the same town. Why don't we work together? We can take care of each other if there is an accident." He didn't continue to approach , standing still outside Zhang Xu, cupped his hands and said.

The figure in the gray robe looked around, pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

A smile appeared on Shen Luo's face, and the corner of the transformed ghost's mouth also grinned, which was consistent with the main body's expression.

"Since we are traveling together, let's exchange names, so it's convenient to call, Shimoda Tiesheng." He borrowed the title of senior brother.

"My surname is Hong." The gray-robed man was silent for a while before speaking.

After exchanging names, the atmosphere between the two eased a lot.

"It turned out to be fellow Daoist Hong. I don't know if you have been to the ghost market before?" Shen Luo asked.

"Never." The gray-robed man shook his head.

"Me neither. Let's investigate the current situation." Shen Luo suggested.

"En." The other party hummed, cherishing words like gold.

Shen Luo looked around and chose the direction to go, but the scenery in all directions was almost the same without any difference, and he didn't pay attention for a while.

"Let's go here." The gray-robed man said suddenly, and walked in one direction.

Shen Luo recalled that the other party had discovered him far away in the green pine forest, and he should have powerful probing skills, so he didn't say anything, and followed up.

However, in order to prevent getting lost, he quietly made a mark on the ground every time he walked a short distance.

The black desert was shrouded in mist, and it was as quiet as death everywhere. Only the footsteps of the two of them echoed softly in the void.

Shen Luo could hold his breath at first, but as time passed and the surrounding situation remained unchanged, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

After walking another distance, the surroundings were still the same. He couldn't hold back any longer, and was about to ask the person in gray robe when his footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked forward.

I saw a tall shadow emerging from the mist in the distance, which seemed to be a mountain or something.

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the gray-robed man beside him, but he didn't seem surprised at all when he saw his calm expression.

He couldn't help being a little startled in his heart, and wondered to himself, could it be that the other party has already seen the mountain shadow in front of him after a long distance?

Shen Luo was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He was about to quicken his pace when he suddenly turned his head and looked to the left.

A whirring sound came from there, fluctuating high and low, and it was hard to hear what it was.

Chapter 0265

The man in the gray robe also looked there, and obviously heard the strange noise.

"Go and have a look?" Shen Luo said.

"Okay. This place is a bit weird. We still need to find the ghost city here. It's best to find out the reason for the strange noise." The gray-robed man said in agreement after pondering for a while.

So the two each clasped the weapons in their hands and walked towards the direction of the sound. After walking for a certain distance, a black boulder about ten feet high appeared in front of them, and the sound came from behind the boulder.

The gray-robed man looked at Shen Luo, raised his hand and made a left and right outflanking movement.

Shen Luo understood, holding the ghost howling ring, walked carefully to the left of the boulder, while the man in gray robe surrounded him from the right, and quickly turned behind the boulder.

Both of them froze there, and saw a little boy lying here, who looked to be only four or five years old, with round head, round face, and round belly. The sound of hula la is exactly the snoring of a little boy.

After sinking into astonishment, he quickly regained his composure and looked at the little boy carefully. The little boy's head was bald, without a single hair, but there was a bright red drop-shaped mark between his brows, and his small face was extremely cute. It looks no different from ordinary children.

The boy was wearing a gray Taoist robe with a Tai Chi Yin Yang fish pattern embroidered on it, and he was carrying a gray cloth bag on his back, which was bulging, and he didn't know what was inside.

Shen Luo frowned quickly. This place is so barren and uninhabited, but a child appeared inexplicably, which is not unusual.

Fortunately, there was no mana fluctuation coming from the boy, which made him feel relieved.

"Friend Daoist Hong, how do you think this should be dealt with?" Shen Luo looked at the gray-robed man and asked softly.

But before the man in gray robe could respond, the little boy shook his chubby head twice, opened his mouth and let out a big yawn, and slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Luo's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately took a step back, and put the hand holding Gui Xiaohuan in front of him.

The gray-robed man also took a step back, clenched the ghost-headed saber in his hand.

"Who are you?"

The little boy sat up slowly, looked at Shen Luo and the gray-robed man's appearance of the ghost at the moment, showed no expressions of fear or surprise, rubbed his eyes and asked, his voice was muffled, as if he was not fully awake yet.

"Little boy, who are you? Why are you here?" Shen Luo glanced at the gray-robed man, saw that he didn't intend to speak, and asked after hesitantly.

"My name is Yuguan, are you here to participate in the ghost market?" the little boy asked.

"Exactly. It's just that we came to this ghost market for the first time, and we haven't found where it is. Yuguan boy, can you tell us where the ghost market is?" Shen Luo asked with bright eyes.

"Where you teleported from, there is no guide light soul to guide you?" The little boy scratched the back of his head and said a little strangely.

"Guiding lamp soul? Didn't see it." Shen Luo was startled, exchanged glances with the man in gray, and shook his head.
