If they were intercepted on land, Shen Luo might be able to find some clues with his extraordinary five senses, but this happened on the water, and any smell would be washed away once it came into contact with water, and there was nothing he could do.
"The other things in that batch of goods are fine, but a batch of red snake grass was also lost. These damn bandits!" Shopkeeper Ma's eyes were filled with anger.
"Red snake grass? Is it a spiritual herb that is shaped like a red snake and contains a deadly poison? I remember that this grass is just an ordinary spiritual material and can only be used to refine a few kinds of poisons. It is not that precious." Shen Luo saw the record of this grass in the classics, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen is not only proficient in the art of talismans, but also has research on alchemy. You are right, ordinary red snake grass is just a rare spiritual material, but what I bought this time at Lu Baotang is double-pointed red snake grass. Although it contains a deadly poison, it has another peculiar vitality and spiritual power. It is the main spiritual material for refining Ningyuan Pills and is very precious." Shopkeeper Ma looked at Shen Luo with a slight surprise, and then continued in an indignant voice.
"Father, since the things are lost, there is no use thinking about it any more. Just let it go." Ma Xiuxiu walked over with a cup of tea, put it next to Shen Luo, and said comfortingly.
Shopkeeper Ma nodded helplessly and sighed.
"Ning Yuan Dan?"
Shen Luo thought of something and asked.
He had seen records about Ningyuan Pill in the classics of Fangcun Mountain. It was a kind of pill that could help break through the Qigong period.
His recent practice has been going quite smoothly, thanks to the help of his practice experience in dreams. While he is excited, his ambition has also increased. He is no longer satisfied with the Qi Refining Stage, and he also wants to advance to the Bigu Stage to gain a longer lifespan and greater strength.
In the past few days, in addition to drawing talismans, Shen Luo also went into the Bai family's library to read some books about breaking through the Qigong period. He had a deeper understanding of the difficulty of this level. Talent, luck, financial resources, and character are all indispensable. Among a hundred Qi Refining cultivators, not everyone can reach the Qigong period.
Although he had a breakthrough experience in his dream, that was all due to his extraordinary talent. His talent in reality is far inferior to that in his dream, so it is not certain whether those experiences are useful.
But no matter what, he doesn't intend to give up!
"Ningyuan Pill is a precious pill that can assist in breaking through the Qigong period. It can increase the success rate by 10% to 20%. " Shopkeeper Ma saw Shen Luo's expression and thought that he didn't know the effect of Ningyuan Pill, so he explained.
"Can it only increase the success rate of one or two cities?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.
“This is already very high. The two major difficulties in breaking through the Qigong period, liquefying mana and opening up magic channels, are both extremely difficult and require very high talent. It’s a pity that those double-pointed red snake grasses were taken away. If they could be refined into Ningyuan Pills, their value would immediately increase by more than ten times.” Shopkeeper Ma sighed with regret.
"Shopkeeper Ma, do you have a way to refine the Ningyuan Pill? I want to buy one, I wonder if you can help me?" Shen Luo showed a look of surprise and bowed to Shopkeeper Ma.
“This…” Shopkeeper Ma’s face turned red and he stammered, unable to speak.
"Brother Shen, don't listen to daddy's nonsense. He has no way to refine Ningyuan Pill. This time he purchased the Double-pointed Red Snake Grass just to exchange some items with others. Ningyuan Pill is extremely precious. Only a few large sects can refine it. There is no alchemist in Jianye City who can refine this pill. As for Ningyuan Pill, in the whole Jianye City, only the government and the three major families have some stocks. But they control it extremely strictly and it will not be leaked outside." Ma Xiuxiu continued what Shopkeeper Ma said.
