Chapter 67: A Bountiful Harvest

  Thank you all for your rewards, and I wish all book friends a happy New Year's Day!

  Lin Wan'er quickly brought up the dishes, four small dishes, two meat and two vegetarian, helped Shi Sheng fill a bowl of dry rice, and the two sat down to eat!

  "Wan'er, from now on when I go out on a mission, don't be like this again. Otherwise, I'll worry about you and it's easy to get into danger!" Shi Sheng said seriously while eating.

  "Ah?" Lin Wan'er was taken aback for a moment, then hastily spoke up: "Don't worry, Ah Sheng. In the future, Sister Wan won't... who knows, maybe it won't be long before I can go with you too!" Lin Wan'er's eyes sparkled brightly.

  "That won't do, we......" Shi Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Has Wan'er advanced?"

  Lin Wan'er smiled: "En, I had already advanced to the Lingyun realm more than a month ago. However, I still can't reach the Huahai realm you mentioned. But I will work hard and hope to always be by Ah Sheng's side!" Lin Wan'er showed determination.

  "That's great, Wan'er sister! The Sea of Transformation requires a Gathering Mind Pill to work, this is a threshold for cultivators of the mind, I'll help you get one as soon as possible." Shi Sheng was overjoyed.

  "Squeak squeak! Wow wow!"

  "Huh?" Lin Wan'er looked around, noticing that there was an extra birdcage in the corner of the room. She thought it might be some beautiful little bird and walked closer to take a look, her face revealing a surprised expression.

  "A Sheng, is this what you caught and brought back for me? What a cute little monkey, how did it grow so small? I've never seen one before!" Lin Wan'er's face was full of delight.

  "Yes, I knew that Wan'er liked small animals, so I specially caught them and gave them to you!" Shi Sheng said with a guilty conscience, after all, coaxing girls into happiness was just a kind-hearted lie.

  "Squeak squeak! Wow wow!"

  The little monkey suddenly cried out a few times, curled its lips and looked at Shi Sheng with a disdainful expression, shaking its head violently as if to say that Shi Sheng was lying.

  "What? Is Ah Sheng telling lies, little guy?" Lin Wan'er teased casually.

  "Squeak squeak!"

  The little monkey suddenly brightened up, winked at Lin Wan'er a few times, nodded his small head vigorously, revealing a few small white teeth, seemingly smiling.

  "Hehe, this little guy is so cute, it seems like it can understand us. Ah Sheng, take it out, it's too pitiful to be locked up inside. I'll find some food for it!" Lin Wan'er was exceptionally delighted.

  "This..." Shi Sheng furrowed his brow: "Wan Er Jie, I won't be able to open that cage for now, in a few days I'll let it out again to play with you!" Shi Sheng felt that this little guy was just coincidentally there and couldn't possibly understand what the two were saying.

  "Alright, then I'll go get it some food first!" Lin Wan'er hastily ran out.

  "How come it seems like Wan'er is more concerned about it than me? I haven't even finished eating yet, ah!" Shi Sheng shook his head at the sight.

  "Squeak!" The little monkey rushed towards Sheng and stuck out his tongue, tossing his head back with a pleased expression.

  "Oh no? You little thing, just you wait and see when I'll get rid of you!" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes and shouted a few sentences like he was scolding a pet dog, then after eating, he returned to his room alone.

  "This time, four high-level fire talismans and a Vajra talisman were wasted, and judging from their tone, it seems that the price was not cheap either!" Shi Sheng felt a little heartache.

  "It's fortunate, I managed to preserve my life. If not for the Golden Vajra Shield, that Thunder Pearl would have been unable to destroy the Treasure Robe, but its powerful force would still be enough to penetrate the robe and injure or even kill me."

  "Heh heh, the high-level fire talisman is indeed a good thing. Without it, and with the consecutive attacks of the fireball technique, that old guy would have been severely injured, and his last resort might not have worked." Shi Sheng's mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.

  At first, a sudden flash of inspiration, when buying the Blood Shadow Dagger, spent two pieces of Xuanjing Jade, drilled nine small holes on the dagger handle, and later Shi Sheng hid the Condensed Blood Needle inside.

  The concealment effect of the Blood Needle was already extremely high, but sometimes long-range attacks couldn't avoid being discovered. However, with the dagger's cover, attacking near the enemy and suddenly releasing nine needles at once would usually trick opponents, even if only one needle pierced the skin, or simply scratched it, the opponent would undoubtedly die. After all, this treasure was too overbearing and contained a potent toxin, unlike the old man's silver needle which didn't have such an effect.

  It was just that Shi Sheng had been holding this trump card in reserve, not using it until the crucial moment, and even Pan Ping and the others thought that Shi Sheng had used up all his tricks when they saw the three high-level fire talismans, and in the end, they didn't even know how the old man died.

  Shi Sheng flipped his hand, and all the gains from this trip were taken out: three jade bottles, more than twenty pieces of mysterious crystal jade, an ancient scroll, a silver needle, a top-grade sword token, and a small bronze shield the size of a palm.

  "Good stuff, heh heh, it's enough to make up for the loss of a few symbols. Too bad the consumption is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it many times!" Shi Sheng picked up the top-grade sword symbol, and couldn't bear to put it down.

  "This treasure is also good, a spiritual treasure-level shield." Shi Sheng smiled slightly, then furrowed his brow: "Unfortunately, my current realm can't use it."

  As he spoke, he tried to urge his spiritual power, and the ancient bronze small shield suddenly flew up with a swoosh, violently shaking several times, and actually slowly expanded to the size of a skull. Shi Sheng's eyes lit up immediately.

  "Huh? Didn't they say that the Sea of Transformation realm can't be rushed? Even the Evil Cultivation Great Perfection realm only reached the size of a head, could it be because my spiritual realm is bigger than others?" Shi Sheng was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

  He immediately took out three jade bottles, each containing a few elixirs. Shi Sheng couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression: "Alas, it recognizes me, I don't recognize it!"

  "Never mind, I'll ask Old Wang about it next time. It's better not to take this kind of thing casually!" Shi Sheng put down the three jade bottles.

  Finally, Shi Sheng picked up the ancient scroll and began to read it. The opening passage recorded some basic cultivation techniques, five-element spells, treasure control methods, and so on. Shi Sheng had seen these in his sect before, but he couldn't understand why an evil cultivator would carry such things with him. He didn't know that loose cultivators lacked resources, and even the five-element spells weren't easily obtainable.

  "Huh? Xuanling Dan, can accelerate the cultivation speed below the Huaijing boundary, Lanzhu flower, Yuding fragrance, Wugen grass......" Shi Sheng looked at the various medicinal materials recorded on it and found that he had never seen any of them.

  "Haha, I didn't know there was such a pill. If I have the chance, I'll definitely learn how to make it and refine more of them. In the future, won't my cultivation speed increase greatly with Wan'er?" Shi Sheng said excitedly.

  "There are still over twenty pieces of Xuanjing Jade, hehe, not bad!" Shi Sheng smiled slightly and finally put away all the treasures, feeling that although this trip was dangerous, but the gain was not small.

  After a moment of contemplation, Shi Sheng's eyes narrowed: "It seems that when faced with danger, even fellow disciples can't be relied upon. In situations where one's own life is at stake, no one will lend a helping hand to others. From now on, I'll focus on cultivating talismans and seals, and not underestimate anyone, including ordinary people. Who would have thought that a cultivator who had reached the Great Circle of Sea Transformation would disguise himself as a Jianghu practitioner?"

  "Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, come out and take a look quickly!" Just then, Lin Wan'er's voice came from outside the door, Shi Sheng hastily ran out. (End of this chapter, next chapter is more exciting!)

  (PS: One more update, seeking everyone's firepower support, new book urgently needs recommendation votes, Sanjiang votes, collection, thank you very much to all of you!!!!)
