She is a mad villain and it is hard to tell whether she is good or evil
Chapter 5 Earning Spiritual Stones
The setting sun fell on Shen Ruo's white clothes, as if casting a halo on her, like a god walking out of the darkness, sacred and inviolable.
Shen Ruo, wearing a fox mask, walked leisurely on the street and slowly walked into the Colosseum. The servants in the morning saw Shen Ruo.
He immediately and attentively took her to the cage for spirit beasts, which was placed in a separate room.
After Shen Ruo handed over the contract, he was about to open the cage directly, but the servant hurriedly stopped him. Shen Ruo looked at him in confusion.
"Young master, are you here alone?" the servant asked cautiously.
"What?" Shen Ruo raised his eyebrows.
"This... giant dragon turtle was caught by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and several cultivators in the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Stage. How much is your cultivation level, young master?" the servant asked a little worriedly.
Shen Ruo replied calmly: "Nothing, you can go down."
Seeing that Shen Ruo insisted, the servants retreated. After all, it was not him who would die, and there were also Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding above, so there would not be any big chaos.
Shen Ruo lifted the red cloth covering the cage, and a blue-gray turtle came into view. It had black stripes on its body and a huge shell. Its entire body was retracted into the shell. It was much cleaner, but its skin was dry and cracked and oozing pus, so it still looked very ugly.
The golden eyes opened and stared at Shen Ruo, his nose was breathing heavily, and his mouth was open with saliva dripping. Shen Ruo was immediately disgusted. The more she looked at it, the uglier it became. How could this thing be worthy of her villain identity?
It closed its eyes and threw a few pills into its big mouth. The giant dragon turtle knew they were pills so it swallowed them. The injuries on its body healed instantly and the giant turtle's eyes became a little hot.
“I know you understand. I don’t want to contract you, or you can become more beautiful now.
Come with me, or I'll beat you into submission and go with you, your choice." Shen Ruo looked directly into its golden eyes and said slowly.
The giant turtle nodded, Shen Ruo opened the cage, turned his back to the giant turtle and prepared to leave.
The giant turtle launched a sneak attack at this moment, biting Shen Ruo directly with its head. Shen Ruo shook his head. Why didn't he listen to the advice?
Just when it was about to bite Shen Ruo, it was bounced away by a blue protective formation, crashed into the cage, and curled up into a ball. The giant turtle trembled all over and spat out blood. It was now seriously injured.
"Are Gu worms delicious? I've changed my mind."
The golden scorpion was on Shen Ruo's shoulder, ready to take a share of the pie. Shen Ruo touched his little head, but his tiny body made the giant turtle feel deeply threatened.
Its body kept shrinking and eventually became the size of an ordinary turtle.
"That's good." Shen Ruo said and used the water power to wash the little turtle's body again.
I also made two bubbles with soap nuts, washed it clean, and put the little turtle into a small jade box for goldfish.
He walked out of the Colosseum in a good mood. The servant saw Shen Ruo coming out safely, holding a turtle in his hand, and sent Shen Ruo out of the Colosseum in fear.
At the auction house, the attendant respectfully brought Shen Ruo to Room 1. Shen Ruo calmly took out a lot of pills:
There are 50 first-grade top-grade rejuvenation pills, 10 marrow cleansing pills, 10 life-increasing pills, 10 spirit-enhancing pills, 10 mind-soothing pills, and 10 beauty pills.
The servant's eyes lit up, this was all money. The alchemist's anxious footsteps were heard outside the door. When he arrived at the door, he knocked and asked before daring to enter.
Alchemist Jiang Lao is a second-rank alchemist, and his cultivation level is in the middle stage of the foundation-building period. Although his level is higher than Shen Ruo, the efficacy of Shen Ruo's elixir is similar to his.
The efficacy of Shen Ruo's first-grade top-grade elixir is equivalent to that of his second-grade first-grade elixir. He really wanted Shen Ruo to teach him, but Shen Ruo refused.
"Master Haoyue, is it still the same as before?" Old Jiang asked after checking the pills.
"Well, but this time we're using top-grade spirit stones. Didn't you want to learn before? I'll teach you, but..."
Before Shen Ruo finished speaking, Old Zhang understood and immediately took out 100 top-grade spirit stones from his storage ring.
He looked at Shen Ruo eagerly, and seeing that Shen Ruo was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and added another 50 pieces.
Shen Ruocai accepted it with a smile. The thumb-sized spiritual stone was truly more valuable than gold.
"I will teach you seriously, but don't blame me if you can't learn it."
"Okay, okay." Old Jiang agreed quickly. He didn't know which young master of which hidden family he was from. He was simply a monster, looking only about five or six years old. He didn't dare to offend him. He thought there must be a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage following him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to run around alone.
After making the arrangements, Mr. Jiang couldn't wait to take Shen Ruo to the alchemy room. When Shen Ruo saw the alchemy room, she felt a little disgusted. It was shabby and far worse than the one in her previous life.
He chose the simplest rejuvenation pill to refine, and Old Jiang found the spiritual herbs and prepared to give them to Shen Ruo, but Shen Ruo took out the spiritual herbs himself to refine it.
Shen Ruo didn't even use the alchemy furnace and just used his spiritual power to drag it around. He also told Old Jiang not to look around and to study hard, and directly threw all the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace.
Water spiritual power and fire spiritual power are used interchangeably. The water spiritual power wraps the spiritual herbs to purify the medicinal power, and then all the impurities are burned away with fire.
While demonstrating and explaining the pill to Mr. Jiang, the aroma of the pill slowly spread and the pill was ready.
He concentrating on refining 10 rejuvenation pills at the same time, 10 pills in minutes, without even using the alchemy furnace, which directly shocked Jiang Lao.
Moreover, Shen Ruo's flame is different from the flames of ordinary alchemists. Shen Ruo's flame is purple, and Shen Ruo is very skilled in operating it, as if he has done it thousands of times.
"Master Haoyue, if I use the alchemy furnace, how do I remove the impurities?" Old Jiang's eyes were anxious and his face flushed with excitement. After all, he had no water spiritual power.
"Then use the water purified by the water spirit master to refine it. Open the furnace in the middle to remove the impurities with wood spirit power, and burn it clean with fire spirit power."
Mr. Jiang seemed to be thinking about something and started his first attempt. Shen Ruo extracted water without impurities for him and put it aside.
Old Jiang followed Shen Ruo's method to extract the medicinal power, but as expected, the furnace exploded the first time because the fire was too big and he started it too quickly.
Fortunately, Shen Ruo dodged quickly, otherwise he would be covered in dust. Old Jiang’s head was covered in dust. He smiled apologetically at Shen Ruo and started his second attempt. As expected, it failed again.
The fire was too small and the medicinal power could not be brought out. Shen Ruo thought he was extremely stupid, but there was nothing he could do and he agreed to let the old man teach him.
If she wasn't a principled villain, she would have left long ago. Mr. Jiang started his third attempt, and finally, he failed again.
Old Jiang touched his nose awkwardly, not daring to look into Shen Ruo's eyes. Shen Ruo took a breath.
"continue."
Old Jiang began to refine the product with full concentration. Shen Ruo's voice guided him in a faint voice on what to do next. Finally, it came to the step of starting the furnace. Old Jiang was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his head.
"Don't panic, keep the fire steady, use the wood spirit to hold it down, fire."
Following Shen Ruo's words, Mr. Jiang concentrated on opening the alchemy furnace, and instantly the whole room was filled with the fragrance of medicine.
Immediately use wood spiritual power to suppress the impurities, use fire spiritual power to burn them quickly, turn off the alchemy furnace, and slowly finish.
Listening to the sound of the pills rolling in the furnace, Old Jiang swallowed and opened the alchemy furnace.
One, two, three... a total of six pills, all of which are first-grade high-level pills.
Before, it took me an hour to refine so many pills, and it would take two furnaces to make so many. Now it only takes quarter of an hour.
Old Jiang couldn't wait to hug Shen Ruo, mainly because this was a high-grade elixir and he couldn't make so many. He could only make three before, and if he was lucky he could make four, one of which was a first-grade elixir.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang wanted to pick up Shen Ruo and kiss her, staring at Shen Ruo's back like a hungry wolf.
"If you keep staring at me, I'll dig out your eyes." Old Jiang retracted his gaze instantly. Everyone knew that this young master had a bad temper. Someone had said something to him before.
The man's head was auctioned off on the spot, and no one dared to stop it. After all, no one wanted to offend a powerful alchemist.
"Master Haoyue, I want to ask, what should we do if this medicinal fragrance leaks?"
"Just don't let it leak." It was as good as saying nothing. Old Jiang looked at Shen Ruo with a confused face.
On the other hand, when each family received the news that Master Haoyue from the auction house had released a new elixir, they all hurried to raise spirit stones. However, they also heard that each family complained that only top-grade spirit stones were needed, wondering who had so many top-grade spirit stones.
In the city, lights are flashing, traffic is rushing, and it is a busy scene.
The auction house has started the auction. Although there are auctions every day, today is the fifteenth.
If he is lucky, Young Master Haoyue will basically go to the auction house to sell pills. Each family has prepared spiritual herbs and spiritual stones, but they did not expect to need top-grade spiritual stones.
"I am the auctioneer of today's auction house. I will introduce the auction items to you today~"
A beautiful woman with lingering charm uttered a seductive voice. As soon as the auctioneer Jin Niang's voice fell, all the noisy sounds in the venue disappeared in an instant.
"The first item is a mid-grade orange-level Dragon Slaying Sword. The starting price is one hundred taels."
"One hundred and fifty taels."
"I'll give you 200 taels."
……
"Two hundred taels for one time, two hundred taels for two times, two hundred taels for three times, deal."
Then many items were auctioned off, but none of them were what Shenruo needed, until a voice was heard.
"This is a mid-grade green-level gold silk treasure robe made by a master weapon refiner. It can withstand a full-strength attack from a late foundation-building stage cultivator. The starting price is 500 taels of gold."
"One thousand mid-grade spirit stones." An arrogant voice of a young man was heard, and the field suddenly became silent.
The gap is too big. Five hundred taels of gold directly turned into medium-grade spirit stones, and it directly became an auction for a big family. There are basically few independent cultivators who have a lot of spirit stones.
Spirit stones are basically used for cultivation. One first-grade spirit stone is equal to ten taels of gold, and one medium-grade spirit stone is equal to 10 first-grade spirit stones.
Although the price of this product would be raised, no one expected it to be so high right away. It was just some ignorant young man who made the wild offer.
"One thousand medium-grade spirit stones plus... a copper coin~" a childish voice was heard.
"Pfft~"
"Hahahaha..." The sound of tea spraying out could be heard from many private rooms, as well as the sound of people choking on tea.
In the box, Shen Ruo nonchalantly drank the spiritual fruit tea brought by the servant. She poked the turtle shell with one hand. The sweet taste made her feel good.
It was Shen Ruo who raised the price. People outside the door thought that Master Haoyue was really good at bidding. He added a copper coin and was really stingy, but no one dared to say anything to him.
They could only laugh secretly one or two, and even the auctioneer Jin Niang almost laughed out loud, and could hardly maintain the gentle smile on her face.
The person who just bid the price in the private room was Zhou Chumu. He was furious at the moment. Who would dare to compete with him?
"One thousand and one hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"
"One more copper."
Zhou Chumu smashed the tea bowl directly. This damn boy was just going against him. The young masters around him all advised him to give up, because box number one belonged to Young Master Haoyue.
They would have nothing good to gain if they went against him. Zhou Chumu's face was filled with anger. Thinking about the bad things that had happened in the past few days, he directly raised the price.
"One thousand five hundred mid-grade spirit stones! Are you going to snatch them from me again?"
"Oh, I'll give it to you. No more."
"Cough cough cough..."
There was a burst of suppressed laughter from many private rooms. Everyone knew that private room number one belonged to Master Haoyue, but no one had ever seen Master Haoyue deliberately playing a prank on others like this. They all laughed secretly with glee.
Zhou Chumu was furious. This little brat was trying to cheat him, but due to the rules of the auction, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
In the next few rounds of auctions, Shen Ruo would follow Zhou Chumu's price whenever he raised the price, but he would not raise the price too much, just one copper coin. Zhou Chumu was so angry that he ran to the door of Shen Ruo's private room in a rage, but the servants stopped him from entering.
Zhou Chumu was so angry that he started cursing. Shen Ruo was drinking tea comfortably in the room, listening to Zhou Chumu being persuaded to leave. After all, he still had to bid for Haoyue's pills later.
"Next, the elixirs of Master Haoyue Dan will be auctioned. The first round will include 10 first-grade top-grade rejuvenation pills. Rejuvenation pills are equivalent to second-grade primary elixirs and are comparable to mid-grade pills. The starting price is 50 top-grade spirit stones."
"Fifty-three"
"Sixty pieces"
……
"make a deal."
The elixirs that followed were all auctioned for good prices, but not all of them were top-grade spirit stones, there were also high-grade spirit stones.
“This is the new medicine developed by Master Haoyue, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which can remove impurities from the body after taking it.
It can cleanse the essence and marrow, remove dirt from the body, and also have the effect of beautifying the skin.
Ordinary people with low qualifications will be reborn. Each person can only take one pill. Taking more than one pill will have no effect. "
As soon as Jin Niang finished speaking, someone questioned the efficacy of the medicine. The people at the auction house knew that someone was questioning it, but before they could say anything, Shen Ruo spoke directly: "If you don't want it, get out."
The man shut his mouth instantly. After all, Shen Ruo had given people a pill to test before and demonstrated the effect in public. However, refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill was very troublesome, and Shen Ruo was not a man who would give away money. He was not so kind.
When Jin Niang saw that the scene had quieted down, she started the auction directly. This time, she started with a pill. After all, the demand was not large, but the price was still very high.
Later, Zhou Chumu did not stop the auction of Shenruo. After all, someone gave her spirit stones, and she couldn't go against the spirit stones.
But Zhou Chumu's heart was bleeding. He had spent so many spirit stones, his father would beat him to death when he returned. This was the first time he had done something so without any sense of propriety.
"Now it's the Beauty Pill. Just like its name, it can beautify and nourish the skin. It can make a woman stay young for 10 years, keep her face unchanged, remove scars and marks, and beautify her face and body."
Shen Ruo let Jin Niang take one pill on the spot. After all, women's money is the easiest to make.
Jin Niang changed from a beautiful woman in her thirties to an 18-year-old girl, with a pair of slender hands as white as jade.
A Luo has a graceful figure, a slender waist, visible curves, an attractive face, beautiful eyes, and her charm is still there in every frown and smile.
The female cultivators present were so excited that they couldn't wait to eat the pill.
They were auctioned one by one, and the first one was sold for three times the price of the other pills. After all, who knows if this pill will be available next time?
Its price was comparable to that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and it was even more popular than the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Even the silent general Shen Xiao bought one.
Shen Ruo raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to be there. Fortunately, she had taken the Huanyan Pill to change her voice and appearance, and also wore a mask, so no one could recognize her.
Later, many spiritual herbs were auctioned off, and the auction house was asked to deduct the price directly from the spiritual stones. Shen Ruo bought many spiritual herbs, made a list to the auction house, and left gracefully carrying her little turtle.
The moon was above the branches and the streets were quiet. Shen Ruo left through the back door, taking the 4000 spirit stones given by the auction house and prepared to go home to sleep.
On the road, the little tail behind him was chasing him closely. Shen Ruo originally wanted to get rid of them, but later gave up the idea.
I walked straight into a remote alley, a dark and quiet alley, and ended up in a dead end.
"You little brat, run! Aren't you running pretty fast?" A ferocious-looking masked man pointed a big knife at Shen Ruo while shouting.
"Bah, don't give him any crap, go ahead."
Several people rushed up in an instant. Shen Ruo looked at the clothes and shook his head, what a pity.
As several people approached, Shen Ruo directly threw out a talisman. Shen Ruo set up a formation on the talisman. Several people directly entered the formation set up by Shen Ruo and circled in place.
Xiao Jin climbed onto Shen Ruo's shoulder at some point and jumped into the formation. Creepy voices came from several people in the formation, which made people shudder in the silent street.
The formation disappeared, and silence returned to the depths of the alley.
