Chapter 110 Ammonites
Time passes slowly,
Today's red clouds are more vivid than in the past, even after a long time, there will be an indescribably strange feeling, as if someone is painting with blood, smearing the sky.

There seemed to be strands of golden thread lingering faintly within it. This scene even attracted the attention of the Seven Blood Eyes and the seven mountain peaks. Many monks living on the mountain walked out of their caves and looked at the sky with strange lights in their eyes.

Many disciples in various ports in the harbor have noticed all this.

And Xu Qing in Fazhou, Hong Kong 79, also noticed the abnormality of the red glow in the sky. After checking it many times, he accelerated his explanation of the question asked by Senior Sister Ding, put the spiritual ticket of one hundred spirit stones in his pocket, He looked up at the sky again.

"This scene seems to have been described somewhere." Xu Qing recalled the Haizhi he had seen in his mind, looking for the familiar source.

But the red glow didn't last long, and gradually dissipated, as if it wanted to use its beauty to keep the setting sun, but the sun still set in the sky, Senior Sister Ding noticed that it was getting late, so she had to leave.

But before leaving, Senior Sister Ding looked at Xu Qing carefully for a few times, and suddenly her gaze became fixed. She didn't pay much attention to Xu Qing's cultivation before, but after observing now, her expression changed a little, and she spoke immediately.

"Brother Xu, your cultivation level... have you reached Dzogchen?" Senior Sister Ding showed disbelief on her face.

Although Xu Qing was hiding something, it was obvious that Ding Xue practiced some different exercises, and she seemed to be able to detect other people's psionic energy more clearly, so after feeling the fluctuation of Xu Qing's cultivation base at this moment, her mind set off a big wave.

She knew that Xu Qing was very strong, but her current senses exceeded her expectations, so the light in her eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Senior Brother Xu, since you are going to build a foundation, do you know anything about building a foundation?"

Xu Qing glanced at Senior Sister Ding, a little vigilant about his cultivation being seen. After shaking his head, he instinctively operated the protection of the Dharma Ark, adding a touch of aura to it silently.

"I understand." Senior Sister Ding smiled with joy on her face.

"I don't know how many times my aunt has taught me these things." As she said that, Ding Xue searched in the storage bag, took out three jade slips, and handed them to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was taken aback, he knew that things about foundation establishment were extremely expensive in the sect, and seeing the three jade slips in front of him at this moment, although he was extremely moved, he understood that everything in this world is not as good as it is for nothing. It's all an exchange.

"How many spirit stones?" Xu Qing asked.

Ding Xue smiled when he heard this.

"Mr. Xu, you are out of touch now. If it weren't for you at sea, it would have been very difficult for me to reach the Xishan Islands so smoothly. Based on our common experience at sea, this is nothing."

"Besides, you also taught me a lot of vegetation knowledge. In addition, with your cultivation level, other core disciples will also make friends. I just took the lead. If you feel uneasy if you win, then if one day I meet you When it's in danger, just come and help me once." Said, Senior Sister Ding put the jade slip in her hand aside.

Without continuing to disturb, she smiled slightly at Xu Qing.

"In this way, I actually took advantage of it, Junior Brother Xu, I will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, Senior Sister Ding shook her body, and after Xu Qing opened the protection, she left Fazhou.

When she stepped on the shore, she was in a very happy mood, and she was eager to share at this moment, so she took out the sound transmission jade slip while walking, and chatted happily with a few girlfriends of the sect.

Unlike men, women's desire to share is very strong, especially when they meet the opposite sex who makes people's eyes shine.

This is difficult for those who are struggling in the misery of the world, but it is normal for the core disciples who have been well protected since childhood.

Just as the winter in the port is different from the winter in Hongyuan, the world is also different for people.

In fact, after she came back, she had already told her girlfriends about meeting Xu Qing when she went out, and it was only with the instigation of a few girlfriends that she had the courage to come this time.

"Look at it, little Xu Zi, this girl will definitely take it down."

When Senior Sister Ding was proudly transmitting the voice, the figure of Zhao Zhongheng in the distance finally appeared in Port 79, galloping towards her.

"Senior Sister Ding...that person surnamed Xu didn't do anything to you, I'll help you!"

Before the person arrived, the voice had already reached Ding Xue's ears.

"baffling!"

Ding Xue frowned, raised her head and glanced at Zhao Zhongheng, with a little impatience on her face, and walked towards the distance.

Zhao Zhongheng hurriedly chased after him. Although Ding Xue ignored him, he still followed behind with a firm heart.

"Ding Xue, sooner or later, you will know that many people in your life are just passing by like birds."

"Only I, Zhao Zhongheng, will accompany you like the sea. Once you get used to my company, you will understand the importance of me. No matter how many passers-by, me, and those passers-by no the same!"

Zhao Zhongheng looked resolute, looked sideways at Fa Zhou where Xu Qing was, and felt strong jealousy in his heart, but when he thought of the strength of the opponent's cultivation base and the fear of the captain of the sixth team, he didn't dare to fully reveal this expression, he could only feel it in the bottom of his heart. grit your teeth.

"Isn't it just that there is such a face, compared with my persistence and companionship, what is it? Time will prove everything!"

In the various emotional fluctuations in Zhao Zhongheng's heart, as the red clouds in the sky dissipated and the sun set, the surface of the sea that lost its light and became dark suddenly had a strange change at this moment.

Countless gorgeous lights suddenly shone on the sea outside the harbor, as if reflecting the sky, and the gorgeous meaning was more obvious, which attracted the attention of all the ports of Seven Blood Pupils.

Gradually, there was an uproar, and one after another figures walked out of the Dharma boats in various ports, and even many people on the shore noticed this scene and quickly looked over.

Outside the harbor of the Seven Blood Pupils, with the appearance of gorgeous light at this moment, the light soon turned into filaments, flowing in bunches on the sea surface quickly, swimming continuously one by one, gradually forming groups and densely packed.

Looking around, it seems that the entire sea surface outside the bay is filled with these light beams, as if it will become a starry sky streaked by meteors.

Even more so amidst the shining light, these innumerable beams of light drifted past the gate of the harbor and permeated all the harbors.

When this scene surprised the cultivator with seven blood pupils even more, Xu Qing's eyes showed a strange light, and he stood on the dharma boat and looked over.

He noticed that those emitting light beams were some palm-sized spiral creatures.

Their sprawling bodies seem to have nerves that can form light sources, and they flicker with each other, forming this beautiful scene.

"Ammonites……"

Xu Qing remembered the description in Haizhi, and his eyes lit up.

There are not many descriptions of ammonites in the Hai Zhi, but it is only pointed out that if there is gold in the red glow, then this phenomenon will occasionally appear in the sea after the glow dissipates.

But Xu Qing knew from the thick book of plants and trees left by Master Bai that ammonite is also a rare medicinal material in the sea, especially in harmonizing and reducing the degree of madness of the medicinal effect, it has miraculous effects.

At the same time, Senior Sister Ding and Zhao Zhongheng, who had not yet left in Port 79, also noticed this scene. Senior Sister Ding looked at the gorgeous sea, feeling a little lost.

Zhao Zhongheng on the side spoke quickly.

"Senior sister, I know what this is. It's an ammonite, also known as a star snail. Occasionally, it floats in the sea behind the red clouds. It's useless all over its body. It only shines. It has nothing but beauty."

Zhao Zhongheng glanced at Xu Qing in the distance, and spoke loudly.

Xu Qing's expression was as usual, he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Zhongheng who was pointing, and he didn't even listen carefully. At this moment, he was standing at the bow of the boat, all his attention was on the sea.

During the ups and downs of the sea, the ammonites emitting bright light beams are entwined and separated from each other. In the entanglement, some of the lights emitted by each are synchronized, while others appear chaotic.

The synchronous ones are often intertwined and never separated, and the chaotic ones often touch each other slightly, and then leave each other, as if they are all looking for each other.

And Xu Qing is concerned about the latter.

The knowledge that Master Bai once imparted appeared in his mind, looking at the ammonites that were chaotically separated and constantly wandering, silently waiting for the opportunity.

Not all ammonites can be used as medicinal materials. What he needs to wait for is the male ammonites that have lasted for a long time and have not found a synchronization partner. Only this kind of ammonites will eventually become useful for practice due to some distortions in the body. The medicine stone!
But Xu Qing's silence made Zhao Zhongheng even more proud, his chin was raised high, and his expression was proud.

"This thing has records in the sect, it's not very useful, and it won't last long before it dissipates."

Senior Sister Ding looked at the ammonites, and when she heard Zhao Zhongheng's words, there was some disgust in her expression, and she spoke lightly.

"It is also good to be able to shine. The brilliance formed can not only illuminate oneself, but also illuminate those who are watching. It is better than some black and no light."

Zhao Zhongheng raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.

But at this moment, at the bow of the Fazhou, Xu Qing, who had been ignoring the words of the two, suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand instantly, and grabbed towards the sea.

Immediately, the surrounding water vapor turned into water droplets, and the droplets formed in an instant and then gathered together. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a big hand made of sea water. With amazing momentum, it grabbed the countless ammonites on the sea surface.

Grabbing one in an instant, and suddenly rewinding, the big hand came back in front of Xu Qing, and as it dissipated, the ammonite caught by it fell into Xu Qing's hand.

The palm-sized ammonite snail shell is filled with circles of chrysanthemum-like patterns, and the light on the body spreading from the mouth of the shell is gradually dimming at this moment.

And at the moment when it was about to completely dim, Xu Qing's right hand suddenly released icy cold, and the icy cold exploded and directly enveloped the ammonite, making it instantly frozen into an ice cube.

It completely retains its pre-dimmed state.

Looking at the ice cube in his hand, Xu Qing showed a happy smile on his face. After carefully putting it away, he continued to observe the sea.

At the same time, in No.70 Nine Harbors, there were seven or eight other people who shot like Xu Qing. These seven or eight people obviously knew about the pharmacological value of ammonites, so they rushed to capture those who met the requirements.

Not only them, but also some disciples in other harbors made their moves, and even some figures flew out from the mountain, heading straight for this place, and began to capture them.

Most of them, especially the second peak monks.

In this scene, an invisible slap was slapped on the face of Zhao Zhongheng who just said that this thing was useless. He froze for a moment, feeling very puzzled in his heart.

Senior Sister Ding also saw all this, she was curious in her heart, and hurriedly approached Xu Qing, until she reached the berth where Xu Qing's Fazhou was, she quickly opened her mouth.

"Junior Brother Xu, why would someone capture this ammonite?" As she spoke, she, who was used to Xu Qing's character, directly took out a spiritual ticket and sent it over.

"The moment before the death of the male ammonite, it will be transformed into a rare medicinal material, which is of great help to the practice."

Xu Qing didn't ask for the spirit ticket, but she still explained it to Ding Xue.

Especially when he remembered the Jade Slips of Establishing the Foundation that the other party had given free of charge, he spoke in detail again.

"Ammonites, also known as Xingzi and Snake Stones, are mollusk foreign bodies, cephalopods, and belong to invertebrate organisms. They are named after the chrysanthemum pattern on the shell shell. They are perennial spiritual medicines. They like to live in the crevices of the rockery on the seabed. They only go out to sea during the breeding season. Yinzhao, every time you go out, you will attract red clouds and red blood with gold, distributed in the forbidden sea of ​​Nanhuangzhou, the time is uncertain, and the traces are hard to find, so it is rarely seen in the inland. The law of turbidity can assist spirits to produce tidal changes."

"Sweet, cold, and slightly poisonous in nature, it can soothe the nerves, cooperate with the method of yin and yang polarization, and cooperate with shell water to refine the ascending spirit pill."

"However, in the new pharmacological techniques, most of them use chrysanthemum as a parasitic body, and take advantage of its special spirit to become a natural furnace by itself, which can feed out good pills. At the same time, the method of reconciliation is even better, which can neutralize the violent effects of medicine."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he continued to stare at the sea, looking for ammonites that could be captured.

Senior Sister Ding at the side didn't understand, but she faintly felt that Xu Qing's words were very powerful, so she looked at Xu Qing, her beautiful eyes showed a strong look, and asked quickly.

"Then why are they glowing?"

"That's because during the breeding season, the male and female ammonites rise to the surface of the sea and attract the opposite sex by emitting different waves of light."

"Their lights are also produced because of this. After touching each other, if the lights of both parties are synchronized, they can mate. If the male ammonites cannot synchronize their lights, they will be rejected by the female ammonites. In the end, if they cannot find a synchronized female, they will light up. Scatter and die."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he grabbed it with his right hand and took another ammonite that met the requirements.

Senior Sister Ding was full of admiration. She knew that Xu Qing was busy now, so she stopped asking questions and instead observed and studied.

Every time Xu Qing made a move, she would pay attention to it. After a short time, she also saw the way and started to help.

Xu Qing didn't need help, but for the sake of the Jade Slips of Establishing the Foundation, although she felt a little burdened, she didn't say much, and let Senior Sister Ding be busy.

Time passed, and as more and more disciples took action, the night passed.

When the morning was getting brighter, all the entangled ammonites on the sea surface of the port of Seven Blood Pupils went away one after another, and returned to the bottom of the sea. After decaying, it became part of the Forbidden Sea.

After a busy night, Senior Sister Ding, who was obviously happier, also chose to leave at this moment.

Behind her graceful figure, Zhao Zhongheng followed her all the way with a bitter face.

He looked at the back of Senior Sister Ding in front of him, and while his eyes showed longing, he also silently swear in his heart.

"Look, Ding Xue, sooner or later, you will be moved by me."
