Chapter 519: Chapter 515: Illusion Piercing Demon Pill Chapter 519: Chapter 515: Illusion Piercing Demon Pill After seeing off Ma Xiuxiu, Shen Luo immediately turned around and returned to his room to continue his vigorous cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

Accompanied by a deep roar within the room, an invisible force flung open all the windows.

Through the windows, Shen Luo could be seen sitting cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed.. Nine blue lines shone brightly around his body, emanating a strong surge of mana which bombarded him from all directions, appearing two to three times more powerful than before.

Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in his pupils.

After days of effort, he managed to unblock two more magic veins. Now, he had nine magic veins within him, similar to the aptitude of an average Dao Body.

And he didn't randomly choose these two meridians. Depending on his rich experience in opening veins, he specifically chose the same 'Hand's Three Yang Meridians' as in Dreamland, directly connecting his Dantian power to his hands, greatly enhancing his spellcasting speed.

Shen Luo flicked his fingers and without fully extending his fingers, he launched five blue water blades that embedded into the wall several feet away. His spell casting speed was several times faster than before, fast as lightning.

Only then did the sound of “plop plop” echo out. The wall was punctured with five holes, and fine sand slowly trickled out.

He tried to activate his magical instrument again. This time, the speed had significantly improved too, making the corners of his mouth curve upwards.

The Xuan Yin Opening Vein Method was terrifying to this extent. It could transform important meridians into magic veins according to the practitioner's heart's desire, and its impact on future cultivation was immeasurable.

As his number of magic veins increased, his cultivation progress also quickened. During this period, he had already reached the peak of the Early Stage of Soul Condensation.

Shen Luo took a few slow breaths and quickly calmed his emotions. He began to ponder how to break through to the mid-stage of Soul Condensation. If he could successfully advance with his nine magic veins and his array of powerful magical instruments, his strength would immediately rise to a new level.

However, even though his aptitude had increased considerably, he didn't have much confidence in advancing, it would be best if he could get some external assistance.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Upon Shen Luo scanning with his Divine Sense, his eyebrows raised. He got up to open the door, and it was Ma Xiuxiu visiting again.

“Pardon the intrusion, Master Shen,” Ma Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Although the woman didn't say much, Shen Luo could see a bit of urgency in her eyes.

“Miss Ma, please come in. The Dream Remembrance Talismans are ready, but it took a lot of concentration to draw these three talismans. It was indeed taxing,” Shen Luo invited her in and complained.

“I realize the hardship Master Shen had to go through. This time I've brought some things that I believe you will find useful,” Ma Xiuxiu said and took out two jade bottles, one blue and one white, and pushed them to Shen Luo.

“What are these?” Shen Luo took up the blue jade bottle and asked.

“The blue bottle contains Blue Heart Pills, and the white bottle contains Guang Ling Pills. Both can speed up the cultivation of Soul condensation stage cultivators. I believe they will be useful to Master Shen,” Ma Xiuxiu explained.

Shen Luo opened the blue jade bottle. Inside were seven or eight water-blue pills, wrapped in a water-like blue light on their surfaces. That was a rich layer of spiritual power, indeed a rather good pill for cultivating one's foundation and improving potential.

Then he picked up the white jade bottle and opened it. Inside were five or six snowy pills, radiating spiritual power similar to that of the Blue Heart Pills.

“The elixirs are fine, but the quantity seems a bit lacking, doesn't it?” Shen Luo said hesitantly.

“Due to the disturbance caused by the ghosts, resources are very scarce in Chang'an City, especially elixirs. Please be understanding, Brother Shen. Besides, this little girl also brought some immortal jade and other items, please accept them, Young Master Shen.” Ma Xiuxiu brushed her hand on the table.

A white light flashed, and “swoosh” a small pile of things appeared on the table.

A pile of immortal jade, a blue crystal stone, a crimson demon pill, and a dark yellow spirit grass.

Shen Luo was taken aback by Ma Xiuxiu's actions.

Actually, he was already quite satisfied with those cultivation-supporting elixirs from before, since they were something he urgently needed at the moment. Drawing several Dream Remembrance Talismans didn't take too much effort.

However, the urgency in Ma Xiuxiu's eyes made him decide to try and haggle a little. Who knew that as soon as he mentioned it, Ma Xiuxiu took out so many things, which was a pleasant surprise.

Shen Luo scanned the items silently. This small pile of immortal jade was not small in quantity; it was about two hundred pieces. He did not recognize the blue crystal stone, but the very pure blue light flickering on it indicated that it was a top-notch water attribute spiritual material. As for the crimson demon pill, judging from the demon qi on it, it was a Soul Condensation stage demon pill.

Last but not least, a twisted dark yellow spirit grass that looked like a miniature dragon, with two red bumps at the top, just like a pair of dragon horns.

“Vermillion Dragon Grass!” He was not particularly interested in the blue crystal stone and the crimson demon pill, but he blurted out when he intently gazed at the last spirit grass.

“Young Master Shen really has a vast knowledge. That's right, this spirit grass is indeed the Vermillion Dragon Grass and it is already three hundred years old.” Ma Xiuxiu said with a slightly surprised smile.

“Miss Ma is overly polite. I am very satisfied with these items. Here are three Dream Remembrance Talismans, kindly accept them.” Shen Luo didn't continue to be excessively demanding and took out three yellow talisman papers to give to her.

A thread of uncontainable surprise flashed across Ma Xiuxiu's face, but she quickly reined it in.

She took the three talisman papers and chatted casually with Shen Luo for a bit before soon excusing herself and leaving.

After Ma Xiuxiu left, Shen Luo immediately collected all the items on the table and also got up and left. A moment later, he arrived at a nearby square.

Many monks had set up stalls in the square. The place was bustling, with people coming and going. Aside from its smaller scale, it bore some resemblance to the West Market before it was destroyed.

After all, wherever there is a congregation of monks, there will inevitably be all sorts of transactions, so the monks in the city naturally formed an impromptu market in this square.

Shen Luo walked past the stalls and entered a makeshift stone house built with giant stones.

Inside the house was a simple shop. The shop was much larger than the stalls outside, primarily selling various materials, especially a lot of monster materials. A short, fat shopkeeper was busy running the business inside.

Shen Luo took out the Vermillion Dragon Grass and threw it to the man, saying without any courtesy, “Brother Wang, I have found the Vermillion Dragon Grass. The Illusion Piercing Demon Pill is still available, right?”

“So it's Brother Shen. You've managed to get the Vermillion Dragon Grass so quickly. That's impressive.” The short fat man took the spirit grass with a surprised expression.

“Yes, this is indeed the Vermillion Dragon Grass, and it's old enough! Here's the Illusion Piercing Demon Pill, for you!” The short fat man examined the Vermillion Dragon Grass closely, nodded, and took out a jade box to give to Shen Luo.

Opening the jade box, Shen Luo saw a fist-sized silver-white demon pill inside. The demon pill's surface was enveloped by a layer of hazy white light that flashed quickly. Upon a closer look, it could make people feel dizzy.

“Not bad.” A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he closed the jade box.
