Before Shen Luolin boarded the carriage, several cultivators who were previously fighting in the valley all came over to greet him. Their words were filled with heartfelt gratitude, but there were also some exaggerated compliments.
He listened to them one by one and responded politely.
In the end, a woman in red came late and bowed respectfully to him for the first time.
"I was unhappy before because of my bad temper. I apologize to Shen Daoyou here. I will remember the kindness of saving my life. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay it a hundred times. "Xie Yuxin said sincerely to Shen Luo.
"It's a small matter, don't worry about it." Shen Luo returned the bow and smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Yu is a small matter, but my life is a big matter." Xie Yuxin looked quite serious and said seriously.
Seeing her so serious, Shen Luo couldn't help but touch his chin and think:
"You said it was a life-saving grace, how can you repay it a hundred times? Could it be that fellow daoist still has a hundred lives? If you really feel sorry, perhaps you can repay it with your body. "
Xie Yuxin heard this and her expression changed slightly, but when she saw Shen Luo's joking expression, she also smiled:
"That's good."
Compared to Shen Luo's joking expression, Xie Yuxin's expression was much more serious. This time, it was Shen Luo who immediately lost his calm and hurriedly explained with a flustered expression: "Fellow Daoist Xie, don't misunderstand, I was just joking …"
Xie Yuxin saw him like this and laughed for the first time. Then, he turned around and left.
Shen Luo froze in place and took a while to react.
He was actually teased by the other party. He couldn't help but laugh at himself and returned to the carriage.
The Bai Family returned to Jianye City.
After returning to the Bai Mansion, because Shen Luo's leg was injured, Bai He Cheng personally sent him to his residence.
"Patriarch, you don't have to be so polite." Shen Luo said with some embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? If it wasn't for Shen Daoyou's help today, not only would my Bai Family be unable to complete the mission, but there would also be a few more vengeful souls in Hidden Wind Valley." Bai Hecheng waved his hand and said in a serious tone.
Shen Luo smiled and didn't say anything else.
Bai Hecheng turned around and waved his hand. A steward of the Bai Family quickly walked in and placed a cloth bag and a small white bottle on the table. He bowed to Shen Luo and retreated.
"Here are twenty pieces of Immortal Jade and a bottle of my Bai Family's Black Jade Ointment to express my gratitude. Please accept it, Shen Daoyou." Bai Hecheng said as he handed the cloth bag to Shen Luo.
"Patriarch is too polite." Shen Luo was short of Immortal Jade, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
Bai He Cheng chatted with Shen Luo for a while, and then he didn't stay any longer, and took his leave.
Shen Luo opened the bag and found a small white jade bottle and a small pile of Immortal Jade inside.
He opened the white jade bottle and a cool and fragrant medicinal smell wafted out. Looking through the mouth of the bottle, there was a black ointment inside.
He was very familiar with medicine. Just by smelling the medicinal smell, he knew that this ointment must be extremely precious. He immediately dug out some carefully and applied it to his wound. The faint pain immediately decreased and there was a cool feeling.
Shen Luo was secretly happy. He carefully applied the ointment around his wound and then wrapped it with a clean white cloth.
After doing this, he didn't continue to cultivate and lay on the bed.
Tonight's battle with Soul Hooking Horse-Face really made him physically and mentally exhausted. He quickly fell asleep.
The night passed without a word.
The next day, Bai Jiangfeng, Xie Yuxin, and the others also came to visit him and gave him some gifts. However, Bai Xiaoyun was nowhere to be seen. Shen Luo asked someone and found out that Bai Xiaoyun couldn't participate in this official mission because of his insufficient cultivation. He had already started to cultivate in seclusion. He couldn't help but secretly nod his head.
Three days later, Shen Luo's leg injury was almost healed due to the efficacy of the ointment given by Bai He Cheng. He could move around freely and cultivate in the water without any problems.
During this time, an interesting thing happened. The Guest Elder named Chu Li, who had targeted Shen Luo many times before, came to apologize with a big gift. He was very remorseful about his previous words and actions.
This person had only ridiculed him verbally and didn't do anything substantial. Shen Luo was too lazy to lower himself to his level. He accepted the gift and drove him out.
Chu Li didn't get angry. He stood outside the courtyard and thanked Shen Luo profusely. He repeatedly promised that he would follow Shen Luo's lead in the future. Only then did he bid farewell and leave.
In the evening, Shen Luo finished cultivating. He changed into dry clothes and thought about the situation of today's cultivation.
"Looks like your injury is almost healed." A voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Shen Luo suddenly turned around and saw Soul Hooking Horse-Face sitting at the table by the window. He was still dressed in white scholar's attire.
"Senior Horse-Face, don't always talk behind me like this. A timid person will be scared to death." Shen Luo said unhappily.
"What's there to be afraid of if you die? I'm very close with Meng Po. I'll just greet her and let you reincarnate into a good body in your next life." Soul Hooking Horse-Face smiled and took a sip of tea from the table.
"Senior seems to be in a good mood." Shen Luo looked at Horse-Face with slight surprise and said.
"Hehe, I won't hide it from you. I'm very lucky. Yesterday, I reported the matter of Hidden Wind Valley to the underworld. The underworld attached great importance to it and urgently called me back to report on my work. It looks like I won't be short of a great merit. Maybe my title can really be moved." Soul Hooking Horse-Face and Shen Luo had interacted a lot, so his words became casual.
"Then I'll have to congratulate senior." Shen Luo also felt happy from the bottom of his heart for this Yin God who could be considered "amiable".
"I'll be returning to the underworld in two days. I came to find you today because of the Ghost City." Soul Hooking Horse-Face stopped smiling and said.
Shen Luo's eyes lit up slightly and a trace of excitement appeared on his face. He had been waiting for this news for the past few days!
"I've already told you about the origin of the Ghost City. In the near future, there will be a Ghost City near Jianye City. The time is about a month later." Soul Hooking Horse-Face said.
"When the time comes, can senior take me to see it?" Shen Luo heard this and his eyes immediately lit up. He cupped his fists and said.
"Seeing that you helped me in the Hidden Wind Valley, there's nothing wrong with letting you experience it. However, I don't know when I'll be able to return from this trip to the Underworld. I'm afraid that I can't bring you along. I'll lend you this Ghost Market Mask. When the time comes, you can go alone." Soul Hooking Horse-Face said. He took out a black ghost mask and handed it to Shen Luo.
"I'll go alone?" Shen Luo took the mask in a daze.
His cultivation was still low and he was still a living person. When he went to a place where ghosts gathered, his heart couldn't help but beat like a drum.
"Don't worry, this Ghost City mask will conceal your living aura. Moreover, the Ghost City is a trading place set up by the underworld. There are ghost envoys patrolling and no one dares to cause trouble inside. As long as you don't cause trouble inside, there won't be a problem in terms of safety." Soul Hooking Horse-Face said with a wave of his hand.
When Shen Luo heard this, his heart relaxed and he hurriedly asked about the way to enter the Ghost City.
