Chapter 1017 No News

Half a month later.

Song Wen finished refining the elixir.

He had used up all the spiritual medicines left by Xiao Chen for refining the ‘King Gu Pill’ and the ‘Earth Gu Pill’.

Song Wen fed the Shadow King Gu and three Ghost Shadow Gu with a King Gu Pill and an Earth Gu Pill respectively, and whispered to himself.

“It seems that I have to buy some spiritual medicines for these two kinds of elixirs next time I go out.”

With the feeding of the elixir and the corpses of the Gu worms, the strength of the four Gu worms has been significantly improved.

Especially the three Ghost Shadow Gu, which have shown signs of advancing to the middle stage of the third stage.

Song Wen put away the elixir and the alchemy furnace, turned his hand to take out Shi Man’s communication jade slip, and found that Shi Man still had no reply.

“She didn’t just join Yanyuetang and was ‘dead and longevity’ by someone, right?”

Song Wen frowned slightly, he felt that Yanyuetang should not do such a stupid thing.

If a cultivator of the Spiritualization Stage who practices the "Longevity Art" disappears just after joining the Yanyue Hall, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of all high-level cultivators in the Qicang area.

Then there will be no more people like Shi Man who try their best to join the Yanyue Hall.

[Senior Shi Man, have you successfully joined the Yanyue Hall? ]

After Song Wen sent a message to Shi Man again, he put away the message jade slip.

Three months later.

Song Wen still did not receive a reply from Shi Man.

But he did not send a message to Shi Man again.

He was no longer as sure as before that Shi Man was still alive.

Song Wen walked out of the cave and went to the spiritual herb shop in the south of the city.

The King Gu Pill and the Earth Gu Pill had been used up, and he was going to buy spiritual medicine for alchemy.

The spiritual medicine needed for the Earth Gu Pill was easy to buy.

But the spiritual medicine needed for the King Gu Pill was difficult to gather.

He went to all the major spiritual medicine stores in the south of the city, and went to some shops hidden in the alleys in the north of the city, as well as the stalls of independent cultivators, but he couldn't buy a spiritual medicine called "Yaoxia Grass".

Song Wen was a little disappointed.

He thought that Xiao Chen could gather the spiritual medicines needed for the two kinds of elixirs in Ganchang Wasteland; he should be able to easily gather them in Yunyin City; but he never expected that he was missing a main ingredient of Wang Gu Dan.

In addition, Song Wen couldn't buy the "Yinchen Water" that improves the grade of the Blood Sea Seal.

After a little thought, Song Wen went to an intelligence store in the north of the city.

The person guarding the store was a middle-aged female cultivator with a golden elixir.

Seeing Song Wen coming, she stood up and asked.

"Daoyou, what do you want to buy?"

Because Song Wen was wearing a black cloak at this time, the female cultivator could not see Song Wen's dress, nor could she sense Song Wen's aura, so she could only address him as "Daoyou".

"Do you have any information about 'sinking water'?"

The female cultivator looked puzzled, as if she had never heard of 'sinking water'.

"I wonder what this sinking water is?"

Song Wen then briefly described the characteristics of sinking water.

The female cultivator thought for a moment and shook her head, "Sorry, I have never heard of this treasure."

"Does your store have any information about Yaoxia grass?" Song Wen asked.

The female cultivator had also never heard of such a treasure as Yaoxia grass.

After Song Wen described the characteristics of Yaoxia grass, she frowned.

"I seem to have seen this thing, but I can't remember it clearly. Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist, I will check it out."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of jade slip and kept checking it.

After a while, when she checked one of the jade slips, her eyes lit up slightly.

A wisp of black air surged out of her body, and the black air meandered in the air, and in an instant, it depicted the appearance of a spiritual grass in the air.

The veins of the leaves are clear, the stems are lively, and every detail is visible; except that the spiritual grass is painted in black, it is lifelike.

"Fellow Daoist, look, is this thing?"

Song Wen looked at the spiritual grass painted in the air and nodded.

"It is this thing."

The female cultivator raised the jade slip in her hand, "Fellow Daoist, the spiritual grass you are looking for is not called Yaoxia Grass, but 'Bo Lingrui'. The relevant information is in this jade slip."

"Bo Lingrui?" Song Wen was slightly surprised.

This name has too much Buddhist connotations.

"I wonder how much spiritual stones this information is worth?" Song Wen asked.

Song Wen originally thought that the other party would ask for a high price, but he saw the female cultivator stretched out a palm and quoted, "Fifty middle-grade spiritual stones."

He immediately understood that the information in the jade slip might not allow him to get Bo Lingrui directly.

Song Wen pointed out fifty middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them to the other party in exchange for the jade slip.

His spiritual consciousness probed into the jade slip, and as he expected, there was not much information about Bo Lingrui in the jade slip.

In addition to a brief description of the appearance and some effects of the Pu Ling Rui, it was only mentioned that this item was only available in Ku Chan Temple and was extremely difficult to see in the outside world.

"Why did Ku Chan Temple want to hold the Pu Ling Rui? Is there any secret about this spiritual medicine? Or does Ku Chan Temple have another purpose?" Song Wen pondered in his heart.

However, according to the records of "Witchcraft and Taoism", Yaoxia Grass is a spiritual medicine that monsters like to eat. And only a very small number of monsters like to eat it, and it is highly poisonous to humans. Song Wen really couldn't understand why Ku Chan Temple did this.

After reading the information in the jade slip, Song Wen said to the female cultivator.

"Do you know where the nearby black market is?"

The female cultivator said, "There are three black markets within a radius of 100,000 miles in Yunyin City, respectively..."

After obtaining information about the black market, Song Wen paid another ten medium-grade spiritual stones and turned to leave the store.

Song Wen took off into the air and headed southwest. After leaving the city for hundreds of miles, he turned east again.

After walking thousands of miles, several mountain peaks shrouded in clouds and mist appeared.

According to the information provided by the female cultivator, the largest black market near Yunyin City, the Nalanda Ghost Market, is hidden in the valley in the central area of ​​these mountains.

Song Wen looked up at the sky.

The sun was setting, and it was about 7:30 pm.

The Nalanda Ghost Market will not open until midnight, so it is still early.

Song Wen continued to move forward for thousands of miles, and then found a dense forest to adjust his breathing and meditate.

At midnight, Song Wen set out for the Nalanda Ghost Market.

Passing through the narrow entrance between two mountains and shrouded in clouds, Song Wen entered the ghost market.

There were many cultivators coming and going in the ghost market, and most of them were disguised.

More than an hour later, Song Wen went in and out of dozens of shops, big and small, but did not buy even a single Bodhi Spirit Core.

Finally, he came to a shop called "Miao Yi Lou".

This is the largest shop in the black market, selling a wide variety of treasures, including spiritual herbs, elixirs, magic weapons, spiritual materials for refining, and many other materials needed for cultivation.

The reason why Song Wen did not enter this shop before was because the servants in the shop were all dressed as monks, and the aura they exuded was also the authentic Buddhist aura.

Song Wen guessed that this 'Miao Yi Lou' should be a shop opened by Ku Chan Temple.

Pu Ling Rui was originally controlled by Ku Chan Temple. Song Wen originally wanted to buy this item without going through Ku Chan Temple. Now it seems that he can only find a way from Ku Chan Temple.
