"I was just about to explain this matter to Luo shi. When I returned home this time, my father spent a large sum of money to buy a unique Vermillion Fruit from a foreign merchant. He said that it was a great tonic, and after I consumed it, the Yang energy in my body increased tremendously, and I am already on the verge of reaching perfection." Shen Luo's heart trembled as he thought to himself.
As he spoke, a thick layer of red light appeared on his body.
Daoist Luo wanted to reach out and sense Shen Luo's condition, but when he saw the red light on Shen Luo's body, he put down his hand. He looked at the red light on Shen Luo's body and was surprised.
Shen Luo saw Taoist Luo's action and secretly let out a sigh of relief. "Master Luo, when I reach perfection in the Minor Yang Art, I'll leave the Pure Yang Sword Technique to you."
"Since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word. But what kind of Cinnabar Fruit did you eat?" Taoist Luo stared at Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo had already prepared a response. He described an oval-shaped, fiery red fruit with flame patterns on its surface.
The appearance of this Cinnabar Fruit was not something he imagined. It was a spirit fruit called the "Fire Essence Fruit" that he had read in a book. It had the effect of strengthening one's foundation.
However, he did not completely describe it as the Fire Essence Fruit. He made some changes to make it seventy percent true and thirty percent false. This way, Taoist Luo would not think that he was lying, but he would not be able to confirm that it was the Fire Essence Fruit.
"From your description, the Cinnabar Fruit could be a Fire Essence Fruit or even a variant. However, I can't be sure. In any case, your luck is not bad. This is your good fortune. "Taoist Luo said in amazement.
"It's all thanks to Master Luo's good fortune." Shen Luo smiled.
"Since you have such a fortuitous encounter, you have to work harder to cultivate the Minor Yang Art and reach perfection as soon as possible. Then, you can break through to the Qi Condensation Stage and solve your lifespan problem." Taoist Luo did not care too much about this matter and warned.
"Yes, disciple will definitely work hard and not let you down." Shen Luo hurriedly and solemnly promised.
After that, Daoist Luo no longer cared about Shen Luo's cultivation. He activated the Water Cloud Bundle and hurried on his way.
When Shen Luo saw this, he did not dare to speak. He stood respectfully at the side as the two of them hurried on their way back to the Temple of Spring and Autumn in the afternoon.
Daoist Luo went to report to the Sect Master, while Shen Luo returned to his own residence.
After spending half a night and an entire day, he was mentally exhausted. He fell asleep the moment he returned to his residence.
He slept for a long time. When Shen Luo woke up, it was already dark outside. A bright moon was hanging in the sky. It should be the second half of the night.
He stretched his body and felt that he had slept very well. At this moment, he was abnormally energetic.
"How did the jade pillow change?" Shen Luo suddenly thought of something and took out the jade pillow from under the bed. Then, he took out an exorcism talisman and stuck it on his body. He activated it with his transcendence energy and his eyes immediately became hazy.
Shen Luo looked at the jade pillow and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
The jade pillow was empty at this moment. The transparent threads of light did not appear.
"Why is it gone? Could it be … "Shen Luo guessed in his heart. He stared at the jade pillow and wanted to see if there were any changes to it.
After a while, his eyelids started to feel sore and sleepy.
"I just woke up. Why do I feel sleepy all of a sudden?" Shen Luo was startled. He quickly patted his cheeks and tried to dispel the sleepiness.
However, the sleepiness did not subside. Instead, it became more intense.
He tried his best to resist, but in the end, he could not resist the temptation of sleepiness. He softly fell onto the bed, pressed the jade pillow under his body, and fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes in a daze.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. He could not help but shiver and immediately sat up.
He looked up and found that the sky was dark. He could not tell whether it was dawn or evening. He only saw a dilapidated and desolate ancient building not far in front of him.
Shen Luo's heart tightened. He quickly lowered his head and looked at himself. In the end, he found that he was only wearing a thin undergarment full of dried blood.
This outfit was clearly what he had worn in Fengchi City. He still clearly remembered that he had taken off his original outer robe when he used it to hide the Ashland Green Wolf.
"It seems that I have entered the Dream World again …" Shen Luo immediately understood his situation.
He quickly tore open his clothes and carefully checked all parts of his body. He was slightly relieved when he found that the injuries from the fight with the Monster Wolf had healed.
At this moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly pulled down the clothes on his right shoulder to take a look.
"Why is it gone?" Shen Luo exclaimed.
His voice was not loud, but it still startled a few crows that were perched on a withered tree. They all fluttered and flew away.
The reason why Shen Luo was so surprised was that he found that the skull pattern on his shoulder had strangely disappeared. The talisman fork that he carried with him was also not with him.
It was understandable that the talisman fork had disappeared, but why did the tattoo of the skull pattern also disappear?
"Could it be that the magic power is also …"
Shen Luo was a little panicked. He quickly made a gesture and operated the nameless art.
After a while, he found that the magic power in his dantian was still circulating freely. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He put on his clothes, stabilized his mind, stood up, and carefully looked around.
The surrounding weeds were lush, and the air was full of moisture. A thick fog condensed and could not be seen clearly from a few feet away.
He was standing on what seemed to be an old brick road. There were many damages on it, and weeds grew between the cracks. It extended to the old building in front of him.
Shen Luo walked a few steps forward and found that the old building was the gate of a temple. The roof tiles of the gate were covered with weeds. The red paint on the gate wall had long been mottled and peeled off. He could vaguely see the words "Precious Appearance Solemn".
The half-closed gate was almost collapsed. There was a plaque hanging on the gate with the words "Jialan Temple" engraved on it.
"Looking at this dilapidated appearance, it has been abandoned for at least a hundred years?" Shen Luo said to himself.
In many of the ghost stories he had read, it was mentioned that in ancient temples in barren mountains, there were often withered bones and beautiful ghosts who used illusions to seduce scholars who went to the capital to take the imperial examinations. The stories were often written with extreme charm.
Of course, these were not real, but in "Zhang Tianshi's Demon Subduing Chronicle", it was also mentioned that places such as temples and Taoist temples, as well as the Earth City God, would be protected by the gods if there were incense. However, once the incense withered and became ruins, it was easier to attract evil spirits than ordinary places.
In addition, he had encountered ghosts and demons in the previous two dreams. He was now hesitating whether to step into this temple.
