"Master Taoist, you are truly a living god. I was rude to you before. Please come in and take a seat!" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire in the backyard was under control, and then hurriedly and respectfully invited the Taoist priest in white robe to come in.
"Old Immortal, you are so powerful. I would like to invite you to come to my house to check the Feng Shui!"
"Master, my son is going to take the imperial examination soon. Could you please tell me what his future will be like?"
"Master, my daughter is already 23 years old and still unmarried. Can you tell me where her ideal husband is?"
The other onlookers also looked respectful and rushed towards the old Taoist in white robe, forming a big circle around him.
Shen Luo came down from upstairs, put a small piece of silver on the counter, and strode out without even looking at the old Taoist in white robe.
The fire in the backyard just now was not caused by no reason. When the Taoist priest in white robe was using copper coins to tell fortunes, a sneaky person outside the backyard threw a ball of fire starter in and ignited the pile of firewood in the yard.
He was busy now and had no time to pay attention to other things. He was too lazy to expose this charlatan.
After leaving Hongxiang Restaurant, Shen Luo went straight to a nearby inn to stay the night.
During the day, the county was bustling with people coming and going, so it was not a good time to look for the thousand-year-old spiritual milk, so he planned to start looking at night.
Shen Luo checked into a room upstairs, told the waiter not to disturb him, then sat down beside the bed, took out the green bag from his waist and opened it.
With a whoosh, a purple shadow shot out from inside and landed on his shoulder. It was the shadow Gu.
"Xiao Zi, you may have to rely on your sense of smell at night to find something." Shen Luo stretched out his hand and tapped Shadow Gu's head, saying.
When the purple lizard saw Shen Luo's finger pointing at it, it did not dodge but instead moved its head forward, being extremely obedient, and it was obvious that it had been completely subdued.
This Shadow Gu was the means he had prepared. According to what was recorded in the dream jade slip, although the thousand-year-old spiritual milk was sealed in a large stone, the Shadow Gu had an extremely sensitive sense of smell and should be able to smell it, so he didn't need to actually dig the stone to check.
The only concern is that this shadow Gu needs to smell a scent first and remember it before it can follow the map to track it. He has no way of getting some thousand-year-old spiritual milk for it to smell now.
Moreover, unlike monsters, the poisonous insects had very low intelligence and he was unable to describe to them what they were looking for in words, which was a bit troublesome.
"Forget it. The Millennium Spirit Milk is a spiritual item. Once the insect smells it, it will definitely behave strangely. There is no need to worry too much." Shen Luo said secretly, cut his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood to feed the shadow insect, and then put it into the small bag.
He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and practiced his energy.
Time passed quickly, night fell, and the bustling Tangqiu County soon fell into sleep, with everything silent.
Shen Luo stood up, left the inn quietly, and soon arrived at the east of the city.
The thousand-year-old spiritual milk concerns his life, so he dare not take any chances. He plans to start his search from here and visit all the wealthy families who can be called officials.
Shen Luo looked around and soon stopped at a courtyard with a high gate. He walked over quietly and checked the ground in front of the gate.
He also released the shadow insect, which stayed on his shoulder and used its sense of smell to explore.
