The gloomy night enveloped the entire dark street.
It’s been more than half a month since I’ve been to Black Street, and it’s still as eerie and cold as ever.
On both sides of the dim street, the doors of various shops were half-covered, and the pedestrians coming and going were in a hurry, giving off a sneaky atmosphere inside and out.
Among them was Lin Shen.
Having learned the lesson from being recognized by Old Man Wu, Lin Shen directly put on a black robe before entering the black street this time.
In addition to taking Yi Rong Dan, he also wore a mask on his face.
With such triple concealment, even if Old Man Wu stood in front of him again, he would not be able to recognize him.
Arriving at the store with ease, Lin Shen knocked on the counter and said to the boss:
"I want the essence liquid."
The boss glanced at him and took out a box of Condensation Liquid from under the counter.
Lin Shen glanced at it and frowned slightly.
"Only ten liters?"
"There are only so many supplies," the boss said lazily.
Lin Shen sighed secretly, paid the money, and took away the condensation liquid.
"Ten liters of Condensation Liquid can increase the cultivation progress by up to 20%, but the gap is still huge!"
Lin Shen frowned as he walked out of the store.
He currently has less than 400,000 spirit coins in hand. If he uses them all to buy Zhengyuan Dan, he can only buy six bottles at most. At most, he will increase his cultivation progress by about 12%. He is still more than half way from breaking through to the Long Breath Realm.
of the gap.
"The Zhengyuan Pill is still too expensive. It would be great if there were other pills that are as cheap and easy to use as the Ningzhen Liquid."
Lin Shen thought to himself.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person sitting on the roadside. He turned around and saw that it was Old Man Wu.
He was holding a pig's trotter, sitting on the roadside and chewing it with relish, his beard under his chin was covered with oil.
Old Man Wu also noticed Lin Shen, glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to enjoy his meal, obviously not recognizing the 'fully armed' Lin Shen.
Lin Shen didn't intend to 'recognize' Old Man Wu, so he continued walking forward, but suddenly stopped after taking a few steps, then turned around and walked towards Old Man Wu.
Noticing his behavior, Old Man Wu was confused at first, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist, I see that your bones are extraordinary, and you are a unique spiritual genius."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Shen raising his hand.
"Stop, Old Man Wu, I won't buy your secret book."
Old Man Wu was stunned, looked Lin Shen up and down, and said hesitantly: "You are."
"20 spirit coins, hidden snake." Lin Shen said calmly.
As soon as these two keywords came out, Old Man Wu immediately recalled it and suddenly realized.
"It turns out to be you!"
He glanced at Lin Shen's outfit and smiled.
"You are wearing quite thick clothes this time. Judging from your appearance, you won't take the initiative to talk to me if you are fine. Tell me, do you need my help with anything?"
Lin Shen took a deep look at the old man and saw that this guy was really shrewd.
He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Do you know where to buy Ning Zhen Liquid, or similar elixirs and rare herbs on the black streets?"
Old Man Wu was startled when he heard this, glanced at Lin Shen, frowned and said:
"No, boy Lin, although I don't know your specific cultivation level, I can tell that it will definitely not be lower than the sixth level of pneumatic power. For your age, this level of strength is already very good. There is no need to use condensation at all.
Let’s use the true liquid, which has endless consequences, to increase our strength.”
Lin Shen was about to speak when Old Man Wu suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait, you better not tell me the reason. Curiosity killed the cat. The more people know, the faster they die. Old man, I want to live a few more years."
After a pause, Old Man Wu said again:
"But you have asked the right person. I may not be familiar with other things, but this is the area I am good at!"
Old Man Wu stroked his beard, as if he wanted to show off as an expert with an immortal air. Unfortunately, the pig's trotters he held in his hand completely ruined the atmosphere.
He wanted to throw away the pig's trotters, but he couldn't.
Lin Shen looked amused for a while and urged: "Okay, stop playing with your pig's trotters. I will treat you to dinner later. You answer my questions first."
When he heard that there was food to eat, Old Man Wu immediately became energetic and said quickly:
"There are many rare and exotic herbs with similar effects to the Ningzhen Liquid, such as Boiling Blood Powder, Snake Orchid, and Poisonous Flame Qizhi."
Old man Wu talked about more than ten kinds of elixirs and rare herbs in one breath.
"These things can be used to assist in cultivation, tempering the body and strengthening Qi and blood. However, they also have various side effects, such as shortening life span or damaging the foundation, resulting in the inability to be promoted to a monk for the rest of one's life. In severe cases, it may even lead to insanity and heart failure.
People are surrounded by demons and will never take these things unless they have no choice but to have their way forward!"
Old Man Wu's tone was unusually solemn, and the consequences he mentioned were more serious than the last.
However, the more Lin Shen listened, the brighter his eyes became.
Reduce lifespan and damage foundation?
This is nothing!
As long as you can improve your cultivation level!
It’s not him taking it anyway!
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Lin Shen hurriedly asked: "Where can I buy these things on the black street?"
Old Man Wu's expression was stagnant. Unexpectedly, after talking for a long time, Lin Shen didn't listen to a word he said, and still insisted on buying those elixirs and rare herbs with powerful side effects.
Despite all the slander, Old Man Wu still answered honestly:
"There are several stores that should sell it."
"Take me to see it!"
"It's okay, but..."
Old Man Wu chuckled and rubbed his hands.
Lin Shen quickly took out two hundred spirit coins and stuffed them into Old Man Wu's hand.
After receiving the reward, Old Man Wu became very motivated and immediately turned around to lead Lin Shen the way.
Old Man Wu didn't seem to be doing anything cool, but he didn't deceive Lin Shen when he was paid to do things. He quickly took him to four or five shops and successfully bought a lot of the elixirs and rare items mentioned earlier.
Grass.
Three bottles of Boiling Blood Powder, each worth 3,000 spirit coins.
Two snake orchids, each worth 5,000 spirit coins.
Two strains of Du Yan Qizhi cost 8,000 spirit coins each.
According to Old Man Wu, the effects of these things are even better than the Condensation Liquid.
Of course the side effects are also more powerful.
However, Lin Shen didn't care and bought it decisively as soon as he saw it.
By the time the two of them had walked through four or five shops, it was already getting light.
Seeing this, Lin Shen thought for a while, turned around and said:
"Old man Wu, how about we make a deal? You help me collect these elixirs and rare herbs, and I give you spiritual coins. How about it?"
He still has to concentrate on training, but he doesn't have that much time to run back and forth, so he might as well spend some money and let Old Man Wu help.
Old Man Wu was happily counting the spirit coins given by Lin Shen, and when he heard this, he didn't even want to agree.
"No problem, but you have to give me the funds to purchase it first, and I don't have the money to advance it."
Lin Shen nodded slightly.
Having said that, after meeting by chance, he did not give too much money at once, only 30,000 spirit coins. Even if Old Man Wu fled with the money, the loss would not be too great.
However, from Lin Shen's point of view, although Old Man Wu was greedy for money and liked to take advantage, he should not be able to do such a thing as running away with his money.
