At a roadside food stall, the two were reminiscing about the past.
Suddenly Shi Hu frowned slightly and said: "Someone is watching you!"
"Is there?" Yu Sheng was stunned, but he didn't notice anything.
Shi Hu nodded in confirmation, flexed his fingers and said, "Do you want me to help you solve it? Although I'm a little uncomfortable with bullying the weak, it's rare to bully them."
Snap! Snap!
Wanting to see Shi Hu's current strength, Yu Sheng nodded and said, "There are a few people! It just so happens that I'm looking for an opponent recently!"
"Three people! There is a man wearing white and blue clothes five hundred meters away on my left, and there is another one who is closer, about seventy or eighty meters away from us, pretending to look at stones?" Shi Hu smiled, everything around him was under his control.
After thinking for a while, Yu Sheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so clear. It seems that you are only one step away from reaching the floating realm!"
"Floating realm!?" Shi Hu didn't know, but he understood and said, "I am only one step away from breaking through. It will probably take one or two hundred years!"
"So fast! Have you been able to break through?" Yu Sheng said in disbelief.
Shi Hu nodded, stretched and said, "If I had practiced hard, I would have broken through. But since Mingzhu's death, I have also understood a lot of things. Take your time, there is no need to rush."
"… "
Shaking his head secretly, Yu Sheng was surprised at Shi Hu's talent, but he said with some concern: "The floating realm is just the beginning. You have such a good talent, you should go further."
"This doesn't sound like something you would say!" Shi Hu was slightly stunned and said with a smile.
With an awkward smile, Yu Sheng naturally understood that Shi Hu was right. He was not a person who liked fighting very much, but now he was fighting non-stop.
However, Shi Hu was a man who loved fighting by nature, but now he didn't want to fight anymore.
Fate seemed to be playing a joke on the two of them.
Not too big, not too small!
…
At the Strange Stones Ceremony, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in a square. A high platform was built in the center of the square, and one person after another walked up with the strange stones they had collected.
In the center of the venue, Qiu Guiren of the Qiu family was appreciating various kinds of stones as a special guest of the show.
There were also quite a few people below looking at the ten stones projected onto the stands. They were truly the most bizarre stones that had ever appeared.
Once there is someone who thinks his stone is better than these ten stones, he can bring his own thing up for appreciation.
"There are so many people! Is it worth it just for a few broken stones?" Shi Hu looked at the people around him speechlessly. He and Yu Sheng were simply following the flow of people.
Suddenly a stone appeared in front of their eyes, and Yu Sheng and Shi Hu were both stunned.
"That is… "
"How can it be?"
The two looked at each other and looked at the black stone in front of them in disbelief. There was a black gas on the stone, and ordinary people looking at the screen could not tell what it was.
"So many souls!? There are at least 30,000 souls on this stone. No, 300,000 souls!" It is astonishing that such a fist-sized stone can hold so many souls.
Shi Hu's face looked a little ugly, and he frowned slightly and said, "Did I see it wrong? I seemed to see..."
Shi Hu was about to take action, but Yu Sheng put his hand on his shoulder, shook his head and said, "After we're done, ask about the origin of this stone. It may not be related to him."
Snap!
A hint of murderous intent appeared in Shi Hu's eyes. He nodded and looked at the stone, which actually contained fragments of Luo Mingzhu's soul.
Fortunately, Yu Sheng pulled away quickly, otherwise the entire Strange Stone Ceremony would have been ruined by him alone.
"Why? Mingzhu's soul makes no sense!" Shi Hu clenched his fists, full of self-blame.
Yu Sheng nodded and said in great surprise: "Yes, there is something wrong. After a person dies, no matter how powerful the soul is, it can be blown away by a gust of wind. Even soul cultivators with high cultivation will never dare to expose their souls directly, because the power of the soul itself is very subtle. Ordinary cultivators will find a carrier to bind the soul!"
Not only Luo Mingzhu's soul fragments, Yu Sheng also saw his soul fragments in it. He could even clearly feel that there was a trace of his soul on the black stone on the stage.
"It doesn't make sense at all! My soul has never dissipated, but there is a trace of it that is exactly the same here! Feel it, is your soul in it?" Yu Sheng looked at Shi Hu and said repeatedly.
After a while of sensing, Shi Hu shook his head and said, "I'm not a cultivator, so I'm not sure. But it must be Mingzhu's soul. No matter what, I will definitely tear the mastermind into pieces if he dares to reveal the identity of the deceased!"
“It’s not just me…” Looking at the stone, Yu Sheng’s mouth twitched, and he saw two familiar souls again, Ling Yue’er and Liu Chujun.
Continuing to look at the souls on the stone, Yu Sheng was surprised that he knew many of them, including the soul of Qiu Guiren who was present.
However, looking at Qiu Guiren's happy face, he probably didn't realize that his soul was there.
"Do you have any clue about this matter?" Shi Hu looked at Yu Sheng and asked in a low voice.
Looking at the stone that was inhabited by hundreds of thousands of residual souls, Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "No! But one thing is certain! This stone was definitely not formed naturally. I know a large number of them, some are dead, and some are still alive. The dead ones are fine, and the living ones can only have some soul power separated out. I have never heard of a living person with residual souls!"
"Know him!?" Shi Hu was slightly stunned. He then looked carefully at the stone that was full of holes like honeycomb briquettes. As expected, many of them were the souls of people he had killed or people he knew.
Some are alive, some are dead!
"I'll go find the mastermind behind this! There's going to be an auction soon, and I don't know if this stone will sell or not. You stay and wait for news. We'll wait for the next round!" Shi Hu said repeatedly.
His face looked normal, but Yu Sheng could sense that he was filled with murderous intent. He quickly said, "You stay and bid farewell. I'll go find out who's behind this. I'll have the Qiu family investigate. If you go, they'll definitely kill you, and you won't be able to get anything out of him!"
"Okay, do you like any of these stones?" Shi Hu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said while suppressing his murderous intent.
His heart was broken. Anyone who saw his deceased wife being used by others would lose their mind. However, since he could endure to this extent, Shi Hu had obviously made progress.
Looking at these stones, Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "They are not what I need! Don't mess around, this matter is not simple! It is definitely not just a simple residual soul. If we don't figure out the reason, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
"I understand!" Shi Hu nodded silently. He was suppressing his anger because he was afraid of causing trouble.
