"I'm sorry. It's about my father's life and death. I just forgot myself. Please forgive me, Shen Daoyou." Ma Xiuxiu immediately realized that her behavior was inappropriate, so she blushed and said.
"Miss Ma cares about your family. It's human nature." Shen Luo said.
"Thank you, Shen Daoyou." Ma Xiuxiu thanked him.
She took the Memory Charm and quickly left, as if she was in a hurry to go back.
Shen Luo watched as the woman's figure disappeared into the distance. Then, he turned around and walked slowly in another direction.
…
Chang Le Fang, east of Chang 'an City.
It was almost evening, and the street was illuminated by the lanterns in the market, which made the whole street red. The sound of musical instruments and the clinking of cups came from the taverns and pavilions on both sides of the street. It was still very lively.
In the smaller streets and alleys, rows of night market restaurants and stalls had been set up one after another. Warm white smoke rose from the stoves on the side of the street, and chaotic yelling could be heard everywhere.
As Shen Luo walked, his mind kept drifting away. His mind was still replaying the scene of the battle with the dragon soul during the day. He felt even more sullen and depressed in his heart. If he had the realm and skills in his dream, he would not have been in such a situation.
Thinking of this, he became more and more eager to improve his strength as soon as possible.
However, he had used up all the Yuan True Water, so it was impossible for him to improve his strength with it. He had to think of other ways.
"Steaming mutton, steaming mutton soup, soft meat …" At this time, the yelling on the street, mixed with a strong aroma, interrupted his thoughts.
Shen Luo, who had already passed the period of fasting, was starved for the first time. He sat in a restaurant on the street, ordered a steaming bowl of steaming mutton, and ate it heartily.
The street vendors and regular customers were chatting with each other. Some people talked about the recent chaos in the city, and most of them sighed that Chang 'an City was not safe anymore.
Some people complained that the world was not good, some comforted that the government would take care of them, and some said that it was just a fight between immortals, which had nothing to do with them. There were all kinds of opinions, but Mo Yi was sincere.
Shen Luo just listened silently and didn't say anything. But in his heart, he was also filled with emotions. When the terrifying Devil Tribulation really came, who in this world could stay out of it?
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he paid the bill, stood up and burped contentedly. He then left the stall and walked back to his residence.
Shen Luo had already made up his mind to start cultivating the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening Technique and try to open up new meridians to increase his cultivation speed.
"Elixirs and Primordial Water are, after all, external objects. Only by improving one's own aptitude can one truly improve." Shen Luo sighed.
Previously, he had already roughly grasped a portion of the Great Skin Opening Technique, and with the experience of cultivating the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening Technique in his dream, he still had some confidence that he could successfully open his meridians.
Even if he couldn't succeed on the first try, he could still use the Great Skin Opening Technique to repair the damaged meridians and flesh wounds. The risk was still manageable, not to mention that he had the Milk Elixir with him.
It was said that as long as one was not dead, even if one was hanging on to his last breath, this elixir could also save one from dying and heal any injuries. It could be said that this elixir was a life-saving weapon.
After returning to the courtyard, Shen Luo went straight back to his room and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
After adjusting his breath for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. Turning his wrist, he took out a red porcelain bottle and put it in front of him. Then he took out the Qiankun Bag and held it in his hand.
Although Shen Luo had already reviewed many details of the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening Technique in his mind thousands of times, he was still a little worried if he really wanted to practice it. He had to be fully prepared.
With a wave of his hand, the Qiankun Bag slowly opened. A wisp of black smoke floated out of it, and then the figure of the Ghost General in Soul Condensing Stage also appeared.
"Greetings Master." As soon as the Ghost General appeared, he cupped his fist and said to Shen Luo.
"No need to be so polite. Today I called you out because there is something I need your help with." Shen Luo waved his hand.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for Master. Please tell me." The Ghost General did not straighten up and continued to say.
Soldiers were very trustworthy. Once they were subdued, they would often be more loyal. Obviously, this Ghost General was no exception.
"I want to practice a secret technique. I need to borrow the Yin Qi in your body. It may cause some damage to you, but I will find a way to compensate you later." Shen Luo said.
"For Master's matter, I will do anything. How dare I ask for any compensation." The Ghost General said without hesitation.
"Well, in a while you just need to sit cross-legged. You don't need to pay attention to anything else." Shen Luo said.
"Yes." The Ghost General cupped his fist and said.
After saying this, he directly sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees, motionless like a sculpture.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes slightly narrowed and his gaze fell on his calf.
After returning to reality, this was the first time he tried to open the Mysterious Yin Meridian. He did not intend to start directly from the Twelve Main Meridians. Instead, he intended to start from the side meridian of the Yin Heel Meridian.
After all, this was the first meridian that he had successfully opened with the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening Technique. He would make the most mistakes in this meridian. At the same time, he would accumulate the most experience and could avoid many unnecessary mistakes.
After looking at it for a moment, Shen Luo put two fingers together and began to carve on his calf like a knife. Not long after, a complex pattern of blood-red runes appeared on his calf.
Shen Luo looked at the tiny blood beads that were arranged like ants and nodded with satisfaction. He softly chanted the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening Technique and pointed at the Ghost General not far in front of him.
A ray of white light immediately shot out from his fingertip and hit the Ghost General.
The Ghost General's body suddenly trembled, and soon after, he began to tremble like a sieve. His eyes rolled up, and his mouth weakly opened. A thick black mist gushed out from his mouth and flowed towards Shen Luo.
"It seems to be different from the Yin Evil Qi in the Six Dawn Whip?" Shen Luo hesitated.
The Yin Evil Qi that flowed out of the Six Dawn Whip was condensed into a thick black light and was not like the black mist in front of him.
Shen Luo only frowned slightly and did not think much about it. He guided the thick black mist to fall on his calf.
The moment the mist covered his calf, it was like an evil spirit smelling blood. Without Shen Luo's guidance, it madly drilled into his calf. However, the runes on Shen Luo's calf quickly lit up and restrained the Yin Evil Qi on the surface of his body.
Immediately, the array integrated with the black mist began to operate. A numbing and painful feeling, like being bitten by ants, immediately hit Shen Luo, causing him to frown.
Although he was not unfamiliar with this feeling, he still could not completely calm down.
But soon, he stabilized his mind. After all, at this moment, he was at the critical juncture of the Ant Pattern Devouring Meridian. He must keep his pulse uninterrupted and combine with the Yin Evil Qi under the guidance of the Ant Pattern Devouring Meridian.
However, a moment later, a sharp pain suddenly swept over him. His collateral meridian was broken.
Shen Luo endured the severe pain and hurriedly operated the Great Skin Opening Technique to urgently repair the meridian.
After the repair was completed, he continued to mobilize the Yin Evil Qi and tried to open the meridian again.
