"I'm sorry, this is a matter of life and death for my father. I lost my composure just now. Please don't blame me, Fellow Daoist Shen." Ma Xiuxiu immediately realized that her behavior was inappropriate and said with a slightly red face.
"It's only natural for Miss Ma to care about her family," Shen Luo said.
"Thank you, Brother Shen, for your understanding." Ma Xiuxiu thanked him.
She took the Dream Recall Talisman and seemed to be in a hurry to return, so she said goodbye and left quickly.
Shen Luo watched the woman disappear into the distance before turning around and walking slowly in another direction.
…
East of Chang'an City, Changlefang.
As evening approached, the lights in the market town began to come on, illuminating the entire street in red. From the taverns and pavilions on both sides of the street came the sounds of musical instruments and the clinking of cups, and the street was still bustling with activity.
In the smaller streets and alleys, rows of night market restaurants and stalls have been set up. Warm white smoke is rising from stoves and pots on the roadside, and chaotic shouts can be heard everywhere.
As Shen Luo walked, his mind was always wandering. The scene of fighting with the dragon soul during the day was still replaying in his mind. He felt aggrieved and depressed. If he had the realm and skills in his dream, he would definitely not be in such a disadvantageous situation.
Thinking of this, he became more and more eager to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
However, the binary true water in my body has been used up. It is impossible to rely on it to continue to improve my realm. I can only think of other ways.
"Water basin mutton, hot mutton soup, soft meat..." At this time, the shouting from the street mixed with a strong aroma interrupted his thoughts.
Shen Luo, who had already passed the fasting period, was for the first time tempted by his appetite. He sat in a street restaurant, ordered a bowl of steaming mutton in a basin, and started to devour it with relish.
Street vendors and regular customers were chatting about this and that. Some brought up the recent chaos with monsters and demons appearing in the city, and most of them lamented that Chang'an City was no longer stable.
Some complained about the bad state of the world, some consoled themselves by saying that the government would take care of them, and some said that it was just a fight between high and low gods and had little to do with ordinary people like them. There were all kinds of thoughts and opinions, and no one could agree on one.
Shen Luo just listened silently without saying anything, but his heart was filled with emotion. When that terrifying demonic calamity really comes, who in this world can stay out of it
After eating and drinking his fill, he paid the bill, stood up, burped contentedly, left the stall and walked back to his residence.
Shen Luo had already made up his mind and began to practice the Xuanyin Kaimai Jue, trying to open up a new meridian and thus increase his cultivation speed.
"After all, elixirs and true water are external objects. Only by improving one's own qualifications can one truly advance." Shen Luo sighed.
Having already mastered a part of the Dakaipeeling technique, and with the experience of practicing the Xuanyin Kaimai Jue in his dream as a foundation, he had some confidence that he could open the meridians successfully.
Even if he fails to succeed at once, he can still perform a large-scale peeling surgery to repair the damaged veins and flesh injuries. The risks are all within a controllable range. What's more, he now has the healing medicine Rulingdan on him.
This pill is said to be able to save a person from the brink of death and repair any injuries as long as the person is not dead, even if the person is hanging on to his last breath. It can be said to be a life-saving weapon.
