Shen Long put away the spirit stone on the communication array and walked out.
Qin Qing stood at the door, his face slightly pale.
He successfully escaped with two first-level spells of great perfection.
Qin Qing was a little surprised to see Shen Long safe and sound, but he didn't ask much. They came to Qingzhu Courtyard, where Xu Lei and four others were sitting in the stone pavilion, talking about something.
Xu Lei's face was pale, Xu Wen's right arm was missing, and Sun Yang and Xu Wu's complexion was not good either.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are not being hunted down?"
Sun Yang asked in confusion.
"I killed him."
Shen Long said lightly. He thought of something and asked curiously, "Friend Xu, aren't there three Qi-refining monks chasing you?"
"I killed one person, and the Ice Crystal Scorpion also died in the hands of the enemy. It was not easy to get away. After this battle, we can't go out to hunt monsters in the short term. Everyone should heal their wounds first. During this period, don't leave the market easily. Chen Xiong will definitely keep an eye on us."
Xu Lei said, his tone was a little weak.
He felt very sorry that the spirit insect that had accompanied him for many years was killed. This time without the Ice Crystal Scorpion, he would have died.
Shen Long nodded. He killed the people of Chen Xiong's monster hunting team. Chen Xiong would definitely not let it go. In the market, Chen Xiong and others didn't dare to attack him, but it was hard to say when he left the market.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long and his four companions left one after another, leaving Xu Lei and Sun Yang behind.
"Is he so strong? He actually killed a cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Refining."
Sun Yang asked in confusion.
"This kid has been hiding his abilities. Over the years, he has spent a certain amount of time every day practicing magic. He must have practiced many first-level magics to perfection. In terms of this perseverance, few casual cultivators can match him."
Xu Lei said.
"That's true. Chen Xiong is a big trouble. We must find a way to get rid of him."
Sun Yang suggested.
"Wait until I recover. I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge."
Xu Lei's eyes were full of cold light.
Back at his residence, Shen Long sat cross-legged on the stone bed, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
He killed the people in Chen Xiong's demon hunting team. The other party will definitely not let him go. He needs to improve his strength as much as possible.
It has not been long since he entered the fifth level of Qi Refining. It is impossible for him to enter the sixth level in a short period of time. He now has six magic tools, but he can only control two at the same time. Therefore, he needs to buy powerful talismans for self-defense in case of emergency.
It is unknown how long it will take for Xu Lei and others to recover. He may have no income for a long time.
The rent plus the cost of buying golden pearl spirit rice is at least 20 spirit stones a year.
In this situation, he can't afford to raise the snow-winged ice centipede. Selling it in exchange for spirit stones and improving his strength as much as possible is the best strategy.
Shen Long thought this through and had a clear plan for the future.
He silently recited the formula and practiced.
The sky darkened, and the lights in the market were bright. Shen Long walked out of the stone house and walked towards the martial arts garden on the mountain.
More than half an hour later, an ordinary-looking blue-shirted young man walked out of the martial arts garden. It was Shen Long who had changed his appearance.
He wandered around the street, stopped and walked, and after confirming that no one was following him, he came to the door of a nine-story green attic. The three golden characters "Treasure Pavilion" on the plaque were shining. This was the largest store in the market. It was said that it was opened by a certain business alliance. Anyway, it had nothing to do with the Chen family, the Han family, and the Li family.
Shen Long strode in. The lobby of the Treasure Pavilion was much more impressive than that of the Bailing Pavilion. A team of attendants in uniform green shirts were introducing high-quality goods to the guests.
"How can I help you, fellow Taoist?"
A green-shirted attendant walked over quickly and said enthusiastically.
"I want to sell something. I heard that your Treasure Pavilion also collects things."
Shen Long said.
"Fellow Taoist, please go upstairs. The seventh floor is responsible for purchasing goods."
The green-shirted attendant led the way and took Shen Long to the seventh floor, where there were more than a dozen independent guest rooms.
Shen Long followed the green-shirted attendant into a guest room. The room was not big, with a green wooden table and several wooden benches, and a magic circle about ten feet long in the corner.
"Daoyou, please wait a moment, someone will come to negotiate with you soon."
After saying this, the green-shirted attendant turned and left.
Not long after Shen Long sat down, a plump young woman in a green skirt and a maid in a yellow skirt came in. The maid in the yellow skirt brought a cup of steaming spiritual tea, put it down and left, and closed the door.
The young woman in the green skirt cast a spell into the magic circle, and a thick green light curtain appeared on the door.
"I am Lin Yu, Daoyou, please take out the things! I can identify and quote."
The young woman in the green skirt said lazily.
Shen Long was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and she didn't think Shen Long could take out anything good.
Shen Long took out a white wooden box and pushed it in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu lifted the lid of the box and saw a black centipede about a foot long, with a pair of snow-white thin wings on its back and a pair of white antennae on its head.
"This is the spiritual insect I caught with great difficulty. Madam Lin should be able to recognize what kind of spiritual insect it is!"
Shen Long said.
"It's a spiritual centipede with ice attributes. This is rare."
Lin Yu frowned. She felt that it looked like a spirit insect on the list of strange insects in the world, but she was not sure. If she recognized it wrongly, it would be troublesome.
"Daoyou, please sit for a while. I will ask Qin Lao to come over. Qin Lao is proficient in this way. How about it?"
Lin Yu said politely.
"Go quickly and come back soon."
Shen Long said, closing the lid of the box.
Lin Yu greeted him, removed the restriction, pushed the door and walked out.
After a while, Lin Yu and a spirited old man in green robe came in, closed the door and activated the restriction.
"I am Qin Dong, Daoyou, can you let the spirit insect out?"
The old man in green robe said politely.
Shen Long opened the lid of the box, and the Snow Wing Ice Centipede flew out, spewing cold air from its mouth. The temperature in the room dropped rapidly, and a large piece of white frost appeared in the void.
The Snow Wing Ice Centipede pounced on Qin Dong, and Qin Dong offered a net bag with green light flashing, and tied up the Snow Wing Ice Centipede.
The Snow Winged Ice Centipede struggled non-stop, spewing cold air from its mouth, and the green net bag was frozen.
"It is indeed the Snow Winged Ice Centipede!"
Qin Dong showed a look of joy.
"Since you have recognized it, Qin Daoyou, name your price!" Shen Long said. Qin Dong pondered for a moment and said, "We will offer 400 spiritual stones." "Only 400? Qin Daoyou, the Li family's Bailing Pavilion is not far from here." Shen Long said meaningfully. "Five hundred, this is the highest price I can offer. After all, it is only the first stage." Qin Dong added 100 spiritual stones. "Deal, I want to buy a few powerful talismans, do you have any recommendations?" Shen Long asked, feeling secretly happy. He never expected that the first stage snow-winged ice centipede could be sold at such a high price. The most expensive first stage spirit insect in Bailing Pavilion is sold at 100 spiritual stones. "Lin Yu, I leave it to you. Treat this Taoist well." Qin Dong gave an order and left with the snow-winged ice centipede. Lin Yu took out a golden magic plate, handed it to Shen Long, and said enthusiastically, "This is the talisman catalog of our store. Taoist, take your time to choose."
