The old man first put away the two fairy jades, and after putting them in the bag, he said with a smile on his face:

"This guest officer should have seen it too. In the past, there was never a cloud cover over Dahe Ten Islands. At least I have stayed here for nearly a hundred years. I have never seen or heard of it. But it started a few days ago. , here suddenly dark clouds gather, there is neither wind nor rain, but every morning, there will be a few thunderclaps, very punctual, which is very strange."

After Shen Luo heard it, he was a little disappointed, but he let go of his hand and gave the old man the rest of the immortal jade.

"It can be seen that the guest officer is a generous nobleman. As long as the guest officer promises not to leak the news, I am willing to secretly sell the remaining water and fire pills to the distinguished guest." After the old man happily put it away, a little hesitation flashed in his eyes, hesitating for a moment Then, he spoke in a low voice.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Shen Luo was overjoyed.

"How dare you lie? It's just that rare things are more expensive, and the price of this Water and Fire Clarifying Pill is not low now. I wonder how many expensive customers want to buy?" the old man asked with a smile.

"I don't know the price?" Shen Luo asked.

The old man held up three fingers, shook them and said, "One piece of three hundred immortal jade."

Hearing the price, Shen Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then estimated that he needed a hundred pieces, and a total of about [-] immortal jades, which was not a problem for him at all.

Seeing Shen Luo groaning silently, the old man thought that he thought the price was too high, and then explained: "Guest officer, I didn't intend to falsely quote a high price, but the stock of this item is scarce now, and the price has doubled several times. I really don't have any." Want more."

Hearing the words, Shen Luo came back to his senses, feeling a little speechless in his heart.

The price of this Water and Fire Crying Pill was actually much lower than he expected. He thought that what Fairy Yulin would let him find must be something worth no less than the nine-petal earth-core fire lotus.

"Since the market price is like this, it's okay. I need a hundred water fire pills, and I hope the shopkeeper will help me prepare them." Shen Luo said.

"What? One hundred pieces?" The old man couldn't help raising his voice a little when he heard this.

"Why... is there any difficulty?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"Aren't you kidding me, Ke Guan? The annual output of our Dahe Ten Islands is less than [-] Pills. Why did Ke Guan ask for [-]? Even if Nanhai Dragon Palace didn't buy it, you You have to make an appointment at least two years in advance to get enough." The old shopkeeper explained after confirming that Shen Luo was not joking.

"The output of this Water and Fire Pill is so low?" Shen Luo was also very surprised.

"The guest officer doesn't know that this Water Fire Crying Pill is the crystallization formed in the stomach of the water ghouls in the great gully who sucked the fire veins at the bottom of the water and was difficult to digest. It usually takes several years to form and excrete, because when they are excreted, they will The bell sounds like rolling thunder, so it is named Shuihuoming Pill. Because it lives in the depths of the gully, and is extremely timid, most of the Shuihuoming Pills it excretes are in hidden places that are extremely difficult to find. It is not easy for pearl divers to find It's so easy, so the output is extremely low." The old man continued to explain.

"So that's how it is..." Shen Luo said slowly.

"That's why, guest officer, I'm afraid that this trip will be in vain. It's hard to collect a hundred water and fire pills." The old shopkeeper also shook his head.

"As many as there are in your shop, I want them all." Shen Luo thought for a while before saying.

"We only have three here now. If the guest officer wants it, I'll get it for you." The old man said.

"It's time to work." Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.

The old man turned around and left, but instead of picking it up from the shelf, he walked into the inner room and came out holding a purple wooden box after a while.

He came to the counter and opened the lid of the box, revealing three round spars the size of watermelon seeds, the inside color was red like fire, and the outer layer was covered with a layer of ice-like transparent spar, which really lived up to the name of water and fire. .

Seeing that the things were fine, Shen Luo paid for the fairy jade and put it away.

The old shopkeeper held a bulging bag of fairy jade, counted it happily, and then put it away close to his body.

After Shen Luo said goodbye, he planned to go to other shops to try his luck.

Just when he was about to draw the curtain and go out, the voice of the old shopkeeper suddenly came from behind: "Guest officer, stay here."

Chapter 1779 Zhu Mang Seven

Hearing the sound, Shen Luo turned around to look, and saw the old shopkeeper walking forward quickly, and stuffed a note in his hand mysteriously.

"Guest officer, even if you have traveled all over the ten islands today, it is absolutely impossible to collect a hundred water and fire crackling pills. However, according to the address I gave you, there may be a chance to find this person." The old man came together Into Shen Luo's ear, he whispered.

Shen Luo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after thanking him again, he turned and left.

After leaving the store, Shen Luo opened the note, and saw it read: Luoxia Island, Shuiyu Village, Zhu Mangqi.

He lightly rubbed his fingers, twisting the note into fly ash, but he didn't immediately follow his advice to find someone, but continued to be patient, looking for one store after another.

Until the evening, Shen Luo visited all the shops, and the last thing he got was the three water and fire pills that the old shopkeeper secretly sold to him.

At this moment, Shen Luo gave up the idea of ​​going to other islands to try his luck, and planned to go to Luoxia Island to find the person the old shopkeeper mentioned.

The sunset over the sea is quite different from what we usually see. It dyes a large area of ​​the sea in colorful colors from a distance. There is no obvious boundary where the water and the sky meet. It seems that the sky and the earth have blended into a huge canvas.

Facing the sunset, Shen Luo flew all the way to the westernmost Luoxia Island.

This island is obviously smaller than Bangyi Island. There is only one town where people live on the island, but there are many scattered villages. It took a lot of effort for Shen to find Shuiyu Village by asking for directions.

After inquiring with others, I found out that Zhu Mangqi is a well-known pearl fisherman on the island.

There are quite a few pearl hunters on the ten islands, and almost all of them operate in collective teams, because entering the Great Valley is a dangerous thing in itself, they are as few as three or five people, and as many as a dozen people, and they dare to act in groups .

But Zhu Mangqi is a special case, he has always been a polished commander, he goes into the sea to fish for pearls alone, and never cooperates with others.

It is said that it was because he once partnered with others, but was betrayed and framed by others, and almost lost his life in the big gully.

Following the direction guided by the villagers, Shen Luo came all the way to a remote place deep in the village. Under a coconut grove, he saw a two-story wooden building on stilts. The inside was dark without a trace of light.

Before Shen Luo got close, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, subconsciously rubbed his nose, and knew he was in the right place.

"Master Zhu Mang Seventh, are you at home?" Shen Luo came outside the building and shouted loudly.

There was no sound in the wooden building, and no one answered.

"Zhu Mang Seventh Master..."

Shen Luo tried again, but still no one answered.

He let go of his consciousness, and when he was about to start investigating, a door on the second floor of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open with a "squeak", and a rough man reeking of alcohol staggered away with a jug in his hand. come out.

He was not tall, looked a little thin, with black and blue stubble all over his face, he looked about 40 to [-] years old, and looked at Shen Luo with frowning eyes.

"Who... who, who is calling..."

While yelling vaguely, he reached out to grab the railing outside the corridor, but before he could utter the word "I", he stood in the empty space, threw himself forward, and fell from the second floor .

Seeing this, Shen Luo turned slightly to one side, and the man was stuck on the ground beside him like a dog eating shit.

The sand in front of the house is soft, so it is unlikely that he would be injured by the fall, but his posture is really not elegant, his head is stuck in the sand, his buttocks are sticking out high, but the wine jug in his hand is held high, and it does not break.

Shen Luo stood aside and waited for a while, but he didn't wait for the guy to get up by himself, instead he heard a burst of uneven snoring.

"Heh, you're really a drunkard." Shen Luo said speechlessly.

He hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and a burst of mana swept over the man.

The bearded man who was lying on the ground with his buttocks up before suddenly became agitated, his buttocks were pouting backwards, and he pulled his head out of the ground and sat on the spot.

"Zhu Mang Seventh Master, are you awake?" Shen Luo said with a smile.

The man turned his head in a daze, looked at Shen Luo with a displeased face, and asked: "It's amazing to know magic, who told you to meddle in your business with a mouse and drive me away?"

When Shen Luo heard the words, he was speechless for a while.

In fact, he also discovered that this Zhu Mang Qi was actually a Mahayana cultivator, and for a pearl diver, he was already a rare and advanced cultivator.

"I was introduced by the shopkeeper of Baozhaitang, saying that you can buy water and fire pills here." Shen Luo laughed.

"No, no, get the hell out." Hearing this, Zhu Mangqi seemed to be a little more angry, and cast a sidelong glance at Shen Luo, turned around and walked towards the house.

Seeing this, Shen Luo had no choice but to say: "I was reckless earlier, I don't know if Fellow Daoist intends to get drunk, please forgive me."

Zhu Mangqi didn't answer, just rubbed his back and pushed open the door of the wooden building.

Seeing that he was about to close the door, Shen Luo rolled his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, could it be that he was so annoyed at the South China Sea Dragon Palace's blockade of the Dagu that he drank wine behind closed doors at home? If that's the case, I happen to have some fairy wine here. Do you know if you would like to have a drink together?"

When Zhu Mangqi heard the words, he closed the door for a moment, a hesitant look flashed across his face, and then he closed the door with a "snap".

Shen Luo was a little speechless, turned his hands and took out a pot of Xianjia jade wine, opened the bottle, and let the smell of wine come out.

After a while, the door of the wooden building opened with a "squeak", and Zhu Mangqi's voice came out: "Come in and talk."

Shen Luo smiled and walked straight in.

The house was lit, and the two sat opposite each other at the Eight Immortals table.

With a flick of Shen Luo's sleeves, a pair of white jade wine glasses appeared on the table, and they were poured some immortal wine.

Zhu Mangqi was not polite, raised his head and drank the wine glass.

The wine was cold in his throat for a while, but when it slid into his abdomen, it immediately seemed to be on fire, releasing scorching power, which not only warmed his stomach, but also filled his dantian.

Zhu Mangqi's face changed, and only then did he realize that what Shen Luo said was not false, it was really the jade wine from the fairy family.

Seeing the change in his expression, Shen Luo secretly smiled inwardly, and immediately refilled another glass for him.

This time, Zhu Mang had the seven cups in his hand, but he was a bit reluctant to drink it.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, just drink it, this fairy wine will be of great benefit to you, and don't worry about it being too beneficial." Shen Luo reminded.

After Zhu Mangqi heard this, he turned his gaze, and then drank it in one gulp.

Shen Luo was not in a hurry to speak, he drank a glass, and he accompanied him, and then refilled each other.

After several glasses of wine, Zhu Mangqi finally couldn't sit still, covered the wine glass with one hand to stop Shen Luo from adding more wine, and asked:

"If I'm not wrong, you are from the Dragon Palace, right?"

"Why did Fellow Daoist Zhu say that?" Shen Luo didn't rush to refute, but asked instead.

"In the South China Sea, only you dragon species can spoil things like this and drink this fairy wine like sea water." Zhu Mangqi said with a cold snort.

Chapter 1780 Attack on Dragon Palace

"Hearing what Fellow Daoist Zhu said, it seems that you are quite dissatisfied with that Dragon Palace?" Shen Luo asked with a chuckle.

"Are you really not from the South Sea Dragon Palace?" Hearing this, Zhu Mangqi couldn't help hesitating.

"No, I'm just here to buy the Water Fire Crying Pill." Shen Luo shook his head and said.

"Huh, where do I still have the water and fire pills, all of them were snatched by those bastards from the South China Sea Dragon Palace." Zhu Mangqi said sadly and angrily when he heard this.

Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help frowning.

"Why do they collect so many water and fire pills?" Shen Luo asked, adding another glass of wine to him.

Zhu Mangqi didn't speak, but looked straight at Shen Luo.

"I'm really not from the South Sea Dragon Palace. Don't you think about it. They have taken away your Water and Fire Crying Pill, so why bother to ask me to come and lie to you?" Shen Luo said speechlessly.

"It's true..." Zhu Mangqi nodded and said.

After finishing speaking, he told Shen Luo the cause and effect that he knew.

After listening to Shen Luo, he realized that a strange treasure was suspected to have been born at the bottom of the Dagu, and the South China Sea Dragon Palace wanted to keep it for itself, so it sealed off the Dagu and prevented other monks from entering it.

It's just that there is a flaming fire vein at the bottom of the big valley, which blocks the way of the Dragon Palace. If they want to cross this flaming fire vein, they have to rely on a dragon boat made of water and fire Mingdan.

"The treasure ship that Dragon Palace wants to refine is huge, and the amount of water and fire mingling pills it needs is also very large, so they searched all the water and fire mingling pills on the ten islands of Dagu. Relying on their own power, bah, what the hell!" The more Zhu Mang talked, the more angry he became, and he drank one cup after another.

"So, on the entire ten islands of Dagu, there are not a few water and fire pellets?" Shen Luo murmured after hearing the words.

"It's gone. The Dragon Palace has used all the means of coercion and lure. Everyone is living in the South China Sea. Who dares to fight against the giant of the South China Sea Dragon Palace? In the boundary of the South China Sea, it is better to mess with Mount Putuo. Don't mess with Dragon Palace." Zhu Mangqi sighed.

After another cup of fairy brew was poured into his stomach, Zhu Mangqi's cheeks were flushed, and he was already a little drunk.

He never used his cultivation to suppress drinking, just to enjoy himself, but this time, Xian Brewing was so powerful that he couldn't suppress it at all, so he drank it himself.

"So, if you want to get the Water Fire Crying Pill, you can only get it from Dragon Palace?" Shen Luo rubbed his chin and asked.

"Isn't this nonsense, right now, right now...they still have it." Zhu Mangqi's tongue was already a little big.

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Shen Luo and asked, "Do you want to attack Dragon Palace?"

"It's just that the road is not familiar, so it's not easy to do it." Shen Luo murmured.

"It's easy to say, if you really dare to challenge Dragon Palace, count me... count me in!" Zhu Mangqi stood up suddenly, his chest was thumping loudly, and said to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo chuckled: "Then let's talk about it..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Mang fell headfirst on the table and fell asleep directly.

This time, Shen Luo didn't use his strength to dispel his alcohol, but poured the wine by himself and drank it.

It was not until the next day, when the sun was high, that Zhu Mangqi recovered from the alcohol, learned what happened last night from Shen Luo, and was stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, it's impossible to go back on your word now." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Who said I'm going to go back on my word? I've never ignored what I said at the wine table." Zhu Mang slapped his thigh and stared.

"That's good." Shen Luolang said with a smile.

But after the passion passed, Zhu Mangqi was very worried again: "Speaking of which, who are you? Do you really dare to seek bad luck from the South China Sea Dragon Palace?"
