Big dreamer

Shen Luo's condition at the moment was really not very good. His body felt like it was being squeezed dry, especially his head was empty and his mental energy was almost drained. It was indescribably uncomfortable.

After he broke through to the Qi Refining Stage, his body was full of vitality. It could be said that he had gotten rid of the previous trouble of longevity, but his mental power had not increased much.

Shen Luo silently runs the Xiao Hua Yang Gong, speeding up the recovery of mental power by catalyzing Yang Gang energy.

Not long after, a red light shone on his face, and his whole body exuded bursts of heat like a furnace.

Shopkeeper Hou next to him felt a heat coming from him, and his whole body felt as warm as the sun. The fatigue in his body seemed to be fading quickly, and a look of awe suddenly appeared on his face:

"Immortal skills, Mr. Shen is indeed a cultivator of immortality!"

A few nights ago, when he got up at night, he accidentally found Shen Yuan in the alley in the backyard and activated the talisman. He guessed that the other person might be a legendary cultivator, so he thought of asking him to draw the talisman. What he saw and heard made him more and more convinced of his conjecture, and he felt a little excited.

Shopkeeper Hou glanced at the talisman on the table and wanted to pick it up immediately to take a look. But without Shen Luo's permission, he dared not touch the table, so he had to stand quietly aside, not even daring to breathe.

After a full quarter of an hour, a red light rippled on Shen Luo's face and disappeared into his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and although his face was still a little pale, it was much better than before.

He stood up and picked up the talisman on the table, looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Regardless of whether this so-called fortune-bringing talisman is really effective, it is the first talisman he drew after entering the Qi refining stage, and it is also the most perfect talisman he has drawn so far.

"Shen has tried his best, but this fortune-enhancing talisman is a town talisman, and its power is dim, so I can't tell whether the painting is successful." Shen Luo said, handing the talisman in his hand to the shopkeeper named Hou.

"The talisman you drew is perfect, I would like to thank you!" Shopkeeper Hou was very confident in Shen Luo. He took the talisman and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the happier his face became.

He took out a rather delicate rosewood box from his arms and put away the treasure talisman.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a wooden box, opened it and placed it on the table. Inside, there were two large ingots of silver ingots neatly placed, shining brightly, at least a hundred taels.

"The store's business has been slow in recent times. I really can't afford more. One hundred taels of silver is not respectful. I hope Mr. Shen will accept it." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said with his hands.

"The yellow and white things are not what I want. Shopkeeper Hou doesn't have to spend money. I have already made it clear before that this talisman should be used to repay a favor." Shen Luo said with a wave of his hand.

"How can that be done? The young master is a guest of our shop and it is his duty to call the doctor. Now he is expending all his energy to draw a charm for Hou. How can I get nothing in return?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou looked anxious and said hurriedly.

"Let's do this. When you really get rich in the future, I'll come back and ask for some reward." Shen Luo smiled and said.

Seeing Shen Luo's resolute attitude, the shopkeeper surnamed Hou had no choice but to take back the money.

He knew that Shen Luo still had things to do, so he didn't dare to stay here any longer. He thanked her profusely before saying goodbye and leaving.

Shen Luo sat at the table for a while, took a piece of talisman paper, picked up the pen and started to draw the talisman. This time, he drew the small thunder talisman.

He is already familiar with this talisman, but the success rate is still not high. Even after advancing to the Qi refining stage, he can only succeed with one out of five or six.

After a while, Shen Luo picked up a successfully drawn small thunder talisman and looked at it for a moment. He held it in his hand, silently activated the mana in his body, guided a ray of mana into his palm, and then injected it into the talisman.

The rune surface of the small thunder talisman immediately bloomed with a misty white light.

Shen Luo felt happy and hurriedly cut off the supply of mana to prevent the talisman from being activated. This inn room could not withstand the power of a thunder.

The light of the runes on the small thunder talisman slowly dimmed, and soon returned to its original state.

"After cultivating the magic power, you can activate the talisman without using the elemental stone!"

Shen Luo had previously asked his mistress to deliver talisman paper, cinnabar and other items to confirm this matter, and the result was just as he expected.

He folded up the small thunder talisman and put it away, took the pen and paper next to it, and began to write a letter home again, telling his father that there was no longer any worries about his short life, so as to reassure him.

Naturally, the letter did not mention that he had become a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. He only said that he had successfully practiced the Small Yang Hua Gong at the Spring and Autumn Monastery and was given good medicine by the master, which solved the problem of longevity.

He didn't even mention a word about the Unnamed Heavenly Book to avoid leaking it.

Shen Luo put away his family letters, his luggage and the stone box, then got up and left the room, coming to the inn lobby.

It was past lunch time, and there were no customers in the lobby. Several waiters were standing or sitting bored, and the mistress even lay down on a table and dozed off.

"Mr. Shen, are you leaving?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou was holding an abacus and settling accounts behind the counter. When he saw Shen Luo coming with the baggage, he hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for taking care of me these days." Shen Luo took out the rent money and put it on the counter table.

"Young Master has helped me a lot. If I continue to charge you rent money, how can I, Hou Liangcai, behave like a human being?" The shopkeeper named Hou blushed so much that he took the rent money and handed it back to Shen Luo.

Seeing that his attitude was resolute, Shen Luo didn't persist.

Shopkeeper Hou personally took Shen Luo's black horse and sent him out. He repeatedly told Shen Luo that he must visit the town again if he had the opportunity in the future, and then let him go.

Shen Luo first went to the inn in the city to find a letter carrier to send home letters to, and then rode out of the city.

The terrain near Songfan County is flat, and the fields near the official road are lush with green grass. When the wind blows by, the wild grass rolls like waves, which makes people feel broad-minded.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Shen Luo was shocked and urged his horse to gallop in the direction of Spring and Autumn View.

This trip can be said to be a satisfying one. Not only did he remove a big stone from his heart, but he also entered the period of refining his energy and found a new direction. Naturally, his mood at the moment was indescribably happy, and he only felt that his ears were raw. The wind made the scenery on both sides retreat quickly.

The saying goes that when the spring breeze brings joy to a horse, it's probably like this.

Two hours later.

On a field road in Songfan County, Shen Luo was riding a horse, neither too fast nor too slow. He looked around from time to time, as if he was observing the road conditions.

He was unfamiliar with the roads in Songfan County, and he drove his horse wildly on a whim, and accidentally lost the road.

He didn't know where this place was, and it was extremely desolate. He had been driving his horse along the road for half an hour, but he didn't meet a single person, so he couldn't find anyone to ask for directions.

It was now dark, and there was a vast wilderness in front and behind. There were no lights at all. There was only the sound of the wind blowing, like a ghost crying. It sounded quite scary. If a timid person were here, he would have been scared to death. .

But Shen Luo has achieved a little success in his practice now. He is a master of arts and is bold, so he won't care.

After walking forward for another seven or eight miles, the sound of rushing water came from the front.

Shenluo urged his horse to follow the sound, and a moment later a broad river appeared in front of him, as wide as three Luanshui Rivers. The waves in the river were rolling, and the undercurrents were surging, which was far wider than the Luanshui River.

"Hey, what kind of river is this? Did I go in the wrong direction?" Shen Luo frowned.

He recalled the map of Songfan County he had seen before. He couldn't remember the name of the river in front of him, and felt a little embarrassed.

If he were alone at this moment, he could try to cross the river no matter how wide it was if he had the Water-Treading Technique, but there were horses. He asked himself that he didn't have the ability to take the horses with him.

If he abandoned his horse to cross the river, he would not know where he was going. If he got sidetracked, he couldn't walk on foot in the wilderness, right?
