Ran Changle nodded slightly, looked at the strange forget-me-not again, and performed the identification technique.
[The forget-me-not plant parasitized by the silver silkworm will not be destroyed until the silver silkworm dies. The silver silkworm absorbs the vitality of the surrounding living things through the forget-me-not plant.]
After receiving this feedback, Ran Changle's pupils shrank. Seeing that the Forget-Me-Not Grass was surrounded by some spiritual weapons but no living creatures, he looked up at the stall owner and saw that the stall owner was in the late stage of foundation building. He obviously had a long life ahead of him, but his hair was already gray and his body showed signs of premature aging.
The man simply felt that this forget-me-not was precious, but he didn't know why. Seeing that Ran Changle seemed to recognize it, he asked, "Miss, can you tell me where this forget-me-not came from? Can you tell me a thing or two?"
Ran Changle looked up at the man, then turned back to look at the stall owner. After a moment of deliberation, he said, "This forget-me-not plant is parasitized by the silver silkworm, and it absorbs the vitality of surrounding living things."
Upon hearing this, several monks who were about to buy things were so frightened that they stopped buying and quickly left the stall, fearing that their vitality would be sucked away.
The stall owner saw that all the customers had been scared away and started cursing, "Where did you come from, little girl? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. What's with the silver silkworm parasitizing and absorbing the vitality of living things? This is clearly a mutated forget-me-not. It's more potent than ordinary forget-me-not. If you don't want to buy it, leave now and don't delay my business."
As he said that, the stall owner waved his hand and told Ran Changle to leave quickly. If it weren't for the fact that there were two people whose cultivation levels he couldn't tell following this Qi Refining girl, he would have taught the girl a lesson long ago, letting her know that she shouldn't talk nonsense when she's out and about if she doesn't have enough strength.
The man picked up the forget-me-not, closed his eyes and sensed it, and indeed found that a trace of his vitality had been sucked away by it.
For the powerful vitality of a Jindan stage cultivator, this trace of vitality is like a drop of water in a river, which cannot be discovered at all if you don't pay attention.
However, it cannot be stopped because it is hidden and keeps absorbing, and small amounts accumulate into large amounts. When the cultivator suddenly finds that his vitality is gone, he cannot find the reason. This is very scary.
When the man looked up and saw the stall owner's current condition, he knew that he had no idea that his vitality was being absorbed by this forget-me-not.
The man's gentle voice said, "The girl is right. This forget-me-not is indeed absorbing the vitality of the surrounding living things."
He turned to look at the stall owner. "Don't you realize you've already lost most of your vitality? If you keep this forget-me-not plant around, within five years, it will have completely sucked away your vitality, and there's no way back."
After hearing this, the stall owner hesitated. The man in front of him was a Jindan senior, and his knowledge was definitely broader than his who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, so his words should be credible.
He also felt that his mental state had deteriorated in the past two years, and the number of white hairs on his head had increased. He had taken many pills but to no avail.
Could it really be this forget-me-not?
Could it be that these two people are trying to lower the price and cheat him?
The stall owner thought for a long time and finally said, "This forget-me-not grass costs ten medium-grade spirit stones. I won't sell it for less."
The man turned to Ran Changle and said, "Girl, please give me this forget-me-not."
Seeing that the man knew that this forget-me-not was so dangerous, but he still wanted to buy it, Ran Changle nodded, thinking that it should be able to be properly handled.
The man generously took out ten medium-grade spirit stones and gave them to the stall owner, then turned and left.
Ran Changle had used up all his appraisal skills for the day and was no longer interested in shopping. He asked the two, "Fourth Senior Brother, Yu Shu, is there anywhere you want to go?"
"Wherever you go, I will go." Yu Shu replied with a smile.
"I'll follow you and protect you."
Wen Ye's gaze vaguely fell on Yu Shu.
Ran Changle found it strange. Wen Ye kept looking at Yu Shu with strange eyes. Could it be that they had some secret? It would be awkward for her to be caught between them.
Thinking of this, Ran Changle said, "I'm going back to the inn to rest. Fourth Senior Brother and Yu Shu, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Ran Changle ran away.
The two looked at each other and walked in two different directions.
Back at the inn, Ran Changle took out the lightning-struck wood and used a knife to peel off the charred outer layer layer by layer.
When it was only as thick as an arm, Ran Changle saw a faint silver light flowing slowly in a deeper place. He was overjoyed and cut more carefully.
After shaving off a few more circles, the silver light became more and more densely covered with many lines. Ran Changle observed and explored it carefully.
It is not easy to comprehend the natural runes. It was not until Ran Changle's eyes started to sting that she finally figured out a way. She closed her eyes and rested.
At this moment, her communication jade slip lit up, and Ran Changle took it out and saw that it was a message from Shen Wancai.
"Chang Le, my eldest brother is here. When are you free to come and get the key to the Xianlin Secret Realm?"
Thinking that he had nothing to do now, Ran Changle replied.
"I can get it right now, where can I get it?"
Shen Wancai replied.
"There's a small building on the east side of town. Send me a message when you get there."
After leaving the inn, Ran Changle headed east. As soon as he left the town, he saw a magnificent palace. Its luxury and grandeur did not match the simple image of the town at all.
Isn't this the place? Shen Wancai calls this a small building?
She sent a message to Shen Wancai, and after a while two people walked out of the palace, one was Shen Wancai, and the other she had met twice today, the man who had set his eyes on the same treasure as her.
At this time, Ran Changle understood. No wonder he felt that the man was somewhat familiar at first sight. When he and Shen Wancai walked together, the two were at least 50% similar.
When they got there, Shen Wancai introduced them to each other: "Changle, this is my elder brother Shen Wanjin, and this is the junior sister I mentioned to you, Ran Changle."
When he heard that it was Shen Wancai's elder brother, Ran Changle looked at him a few more times out of curiosity.
It turned out that this was Shen Wancai's eldest brother with incredible luck. No wonder he could find treasures so easily. This was much better than her identification skills.
Identification requires one to identify one by one, but he can easily find it just by feeling.
After watching for a while, Ran Changle realized his mistake and quickly saluted and said, "Brother Shen, ok."
"Girl, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Shen Wanjin didn't care about her scrutinizing gaze and said with a slight smile.
Shen Wancai looked at the two and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
"I don't know him, I've only met him twice." Ran Changle shook his head.
"Chang Le, can I call you that?"
After getting Ran Changle's consent, Shen Wanjin took out a crystal clear ring, which was the key to the Xianlin Secret Realm, handed it to Ran Changle and said, "Wancai and I will also enter the secret realm, and then we hope to form an alliance with you."
Ran Changle took the ring and said, "Thank you very much. If there is anything you want in the secret realm, please let me help you."
Qin Mian said that buying this ring would cost at least tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones.
Although Shen Wancai said it was a gift to her, she couldn't take it for free.
