Chapter 107: Escaping and Peeking

  Wugushan, in a dimly lit quiet room!

  "What? Xiao Sheng has gone missing? Are you certain?" An elderly man sat on the edge of the bed, somewhat puzzled and slightly angry, looking at a disciple with an unpleasant expression in front of him.

  "Reporting back to Elder Zhou, the news is true. Xiao Sheng's younger brother has indeed gone missing!" The white-robed disciple said with some fear in his tone.

  "Where's that young Ma Ming?" asked the old man, who was none other than Zhou Hong, the elder of the Zhou clan.

  "Ma Ming? That little kid from Huahai Realm? We didn't notice him at all!" said the white-robed disciple with some puzzlement.

  "Hmph, let's investigate together and see if Ma Ming has also gone missing. Ah, if it weren't for the preparations for the Qingfeng Conference, I would have personally gone to take a look. If Xiao Sheng is really dead, then that Heaven Xuan Sect kid can't escape responsibility!" Zhou Hong's face turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent emanated from his body.

  ……

  Shi Sheng's expectant gaze fell on Wang Bo, pondering the matter of the Jade Spirit Pill.

  "Heh heh, of course I have the Dan Fang. Otherwise, why would I mention it? In my younger years, I inadvertently obtained that ancient manual, which is all-encompassing, but unfortunately, my realm is limited and many things are beyond my comprehension. It's fortunate for you, young one! This is the Dan Fang for the Jade Spirit Pill!" Wang Bo said as he handed over the Dan Fang to Shi Sheng.

  "This... " Shi Sheng looked at Dan Fang with some excitement, deeply feeling its preciousness. A good dan is hard to come by, and the dan furnace is even more crucial to a dan master's livelihood. Normally, it would never be sold, let alone given away so casually to someone else.

  "Wang Bo, from now on if you need any elixirs, just let me know. As long as I can refine them, I'll do my best. Also, in the end, I'll leave some talismans and elixirs for you to use yourself or sell for Xuanjing Jade, consider it a small token of my appreciation!" Shisheng said with a serious expression, understanding the principle of repaying kindness with even greater kindness.

  "Well, I've also bought back some spiritual treasures of the Lingbao level for you, including a spiritual brush and ink. In the future, even if you're not here with me, who knows when you might need them? At least this way, you won't be stuck with just symbol papers and unable to refine talismans."

  "All right, no need to waste any more time. You'd better go into seclusion quickly, and who knows, you might even be able to refine a few more Jade Spirit Pills!" Wang Bo said as he finished speaking, Shi Sheng responded with a sound, then went alone to the Dan room.

  First, he was preparing to cultivate some spiritual medicine, but when he opened it up, it turned out that they were all mature medicinal materials. Shi's heart felt a surge of joy, originally this trip had limited time, and now it seemed that a lot of time had been saved.

  After a moment's thought, Shi Sheng took out the spiritual brush and ink that Wang Bo Xin had bought back, familiarized himself with them for a while, and then began to draw talismans with his own treasure.

  More than ten days later, Shi Sheng stopped refining talismans. Although Wang Bo bought back more than a hundred sheets of talisman paper, Shi Sheng didn't have time to refine all of them and only refined some commonly used attack talismans and some Vajra talismans, but they were all mid-level talismans, their power far surpassing the low-level talismans from before.

  Next, Shi Sheng began to study the alchemy formula for Yuling Dan, but did not rush to refine it. Instead, he took a look at other formulas and refined many other types of elixirs. Finally, he started refining Yuling Dan. The amount of medicinal materials was considerable, enough to refine more than ten Yuling Dans.

  At this moment, Shi Sheng's attainments in the way of talismans were unparalleled by ordinary people. His attainments in alchemy had also made a huge leap forward. Although he had learned through hard work and accumulation of materials, not only did he learn many methods for refining talismans, but he also learned many methods for refining elixirs. At the same time, he came to know many spiritual medicines and became familiar with the uses and properties of each medicinal material. Finally, he began to refine the Jade Spirit Elixir!

  Unfortunately, the result was disappointing!

  However, Sheng is very calm!

  "Cough, cough, just ten sets of materials, how can it be enough for me to squander, Wang Bo also thinks too highly of me. Besides, the success rate of this elixir is too low, and not a single one has succeeded!" Shi Sheng shook his head, somewhat at a loss as to how to report back to Wang Bo, and finally left the alchemy room with a stiff upper lip.

  In the hall, Wang Bo was sipping clear tea. Seeing Shi Sheng come out, he hastily stood up and asked: "How is it? Has the Jade Spirit Pill succeeded?"

  "Cough, I..." Shi Sheng rubbed his head: "Right, time is pressing, I and Wan'er should return to the Men's Division. The Jade Spirit Dan was a success, I used it myself, Wang Bo, the bag contains the dan medicine and talismans left for you, I'll take my leave first!"

  Shi Sheng coughed and came to Lin Wan'er's room, pulling her out and running away. He didn't even give Wang Bo a chance to ask questions. In no time, the two of them had run out of sight.

  Watching the two of Shi Sheng disappear into the distance, Wang snorted in disdain, "Hmph, that stinky brat, looking so hesitant and lacking confidence, definitely hasn't succeeded, otherwise he would have shown it off already."

  "It's quite strange, how he sometimes has an unusually high success rate, and sometimes a very low one. The Jade Spirit Pill is difficult to refine, but based on his past performance, he should have at least refined three or four pills this time!"

  "You're so wishy-washy, can I still happily teach you the art of Dan with an old man like me?" Wang Bo said with a raised eyebrow, and then looked at the pouch that Shi Sheng had left behind.

  "But this kid's heart is actually kind, and he even left me these medicinal pills and talismans. At least he didn't forget about old me, and was thinking of helping me advance to the Sea Boundary Realm. Not bad, not bad! Heh heh!"

  Wang Bo finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand towards the bag, a white mist burst out, and the bag disappeared in an instant. Wang Bo, however, seemed completely nonchalant, picking up his tea cup and leisurely sipping the clear tea, without even giving a glance at what was inside the bag.

  ……

  "Why are you running so fast? Slow down, Ah Sheng!" Lin Wan'er was dragged by Shi Sheng with one hand, jogging away from Wang Bo's house. Panting and flushed, Lin Wan'er's small face turned red!

  "Ah, I finally managed to get out of there. If I had been any slower, that old man would have definitely made me take out the medicine to show him!" Shi Sheng briefly told Lin Wan'er what had happened, causing her to giggle uncontrollably.

  "King Bo helped you like this, and you still have the heart to cheat him, an old man! You really are something!" Lin Wan'er gave Shi Sheng a white eye.

  Shi Sheng shrugged indifferently: "A benevolent lie doesn't count as deception, after all, I didn't have any malicious intentions towards Wang Bo!"

  "A benevolent lie, isn't that still deception?" Lin Wan'er's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color as she asked.

  "Of course, hehe, let's eat something first, I'm a bit hungry!" He said, pulling Lin Wan'er to a street stall and casually ordering two bowls of hot noodles.

  Waaah!

  Xiao Jin jumped onto the table, pointing at Shi Sheng and then at himself and Lin Wan'er, as if asking what did you mean by ordering two bowls? Are you going to make us eat while you watch, Shi Sheng?

  "Hehe, okay, add another bowl!" Lin Wan'er was teased by Jin Ling until she burst out laughing. After three bowls of noodles were brought up, the two immediately started eating.

  Shi Sheng just shrugged silently, and while eating, he glanced at Lin Wan'er who was teasing Xiao Jinling, finding her more and more beautiful as he looked!

  Lin Wan'er didn't dress up in any way, wearing ordinary clothes, but she couldn't hide her unique temperament, always giving people a warm and elegant, gentle and considerate feeling. Maybe it was because she had run too much earlier, Lin Wan'er's small face was also flushed red.

  Evil thoughts rose again in Shi Sheng's heart. After several rounds of suppression, unfortunately, he ultimately failed to overcome his evil intentions.

  Sometimes having the ability to sense things can be a double-edged sword. For instance, if there's a beautiful woman sitting in front of you, who wouldn't want to use their sensing powers to give her a full-body scan? Who could resist? If you do it, it's immoral; if you don't, it's frustrating - it seems like a waste of this ability!

  Just like someone doesn't want to look at a scary scene, but the more they do, sometimes they can't help but sneak a peek, this is an uncontrollable instinct, who doesn't want to eat delicious food?

  As he thought, Shi Sheng suddenly released his mental energy uncontrollably, and with a sweep of his hand, he sent it towards Lin Wan'er. The next moment, Shi Sheng was stunned, staring blankly with wide eyes, the half-eaten noodle dangling from his mouth wobbling back and forth. Xiao Jin Ling stood behind the bowl, covering her mouth to stifle a laugh, her small eyes narrowed into crescent shapes as she gazed at the noodle swaying in and out of Shi Sheng's mouth! (End of this chapter, next chapter will be even more exciting!)
