out of time

Chapter 303

When the afterglow of dusk dissipated, Xu Qing's French boat returned to its berth, and almost immediately after returning, he received a voice transmission from the captain.

"Little Aqing, how do you feel about this date? Come on, come on, I'm at the fairy pool where you gave me a discount, why don't you come over and talk about the process with the senior brother, the senior brother uses his rich experience to help me Give me some pointers."

"Another day." Xu Qing replied, and was about to end the sound transmission when the captain coughed.

"The master is also..."

"..." Xu Qing was silent.

A while later, in the fairy pond opened by Xu Xiaohui, in the hidden small pond overlooking the big pond below, Xu Qing, the captain and Master Qi, the three of them, master and apprentice, soaked in it.

Xu Qing looked at the two with a strange expression.

Qi Ye coughed and glared at the captain.

"Before I became a teacher, I was meditating. You begged me to come over. What is the matter?"

The captain blinked.

Qi Ye snorted, so the captain sighed, and looked at Xu Qing with an aggrieved face.

"Little Aqing, you and Zixuan Shangxian went out this time, cough, how far has it progressed?"

Qiye's expression remained the same, as if he was not very interested.

Xu Qing silently glanced at his master, thought for a while, and replied.

"Senior Zixuan taught me how to play the flute."

Qi Ye moved his ears.

The captain asked quickly.

"and then."

"Then I went to pay homage to an old friend of hers, the master of the old man Xuanyouzong of Taisi Du'er Mountain." Xu Qing did not hide anything, and told what happened on the way.

There's really nothing to hide about that either.

"That's it?" The captain looked disbelieving.

"Yes, Senior Zixuan gave me the flute when I came back." Xu Qing nodded.

"What flute?" The captain was curious.

"It seems to be called Liu Di." Xu Qing replied.

Before the captain could speak, Qi Ye took a deep breath.

"Liu Yue Lingyun flute?"

Xu Qing was a little unfamiliar with this name, so he simply took out the flute.

The moment Qi Ye saw the flute, his expression was a little dazed. After a while, he stood up expressionlessly and glared at the captain again.

"When you meditate for the teacher in the future, if you bother me again, I will break your leg!"

The captain's eyes widened, showing strong grievances, as if you, an old man, were too unreasonable, obviously you called me here, and let me call Xu Qing.

Seventh Master coughed.

"Okay, what you said last time is right."

After finishing speaking, Qi Ye spoke to Xu Qing while putting on his clothes.

"Fourth, you are also popular now, and the time is almost here. I will take you out when I finish my work."

Qi Ye walked away with his hands behind his back.

Until Qi Ye left, the captain's expression returned to normal in an instant, without any sense of grievance, but smiled proudly at Xu Qing.

"Learn to be a little junior, this is how you deal with the old man. The old man has a dark face but a soft heart, so I feel wronged occasionally, and he compromises.

But this time, the old man was obviously annoyed. From my point of view, he knows the name of the flute so well, it is likely that he gave it back then. "

Xu Qing blinked, thinking of Zixuan Shangxian saying that there were too many people who gave her gifts back then, forgetting who gave her the flute, and thinking about the appearance of the master just now, he felt... this is very possible.

Just like that, after soaking for a while, Xu Qing also got up and was about to leave. Before leaving, the captain leaned there lazily, and made a comfortable voice.

"Little Ah Qing, you can get me Zhang Yujian later. I asked if there is no [-]% discount here. It is a rare VIP treatment. You can do it."

"What about yours?" Xu Qing asked.

"I gave it to Wu Jianwu." The captain whispered mysteriously.

"I want Wu Jianwu to help me with something, and you'll know soon. Once I'm done, I'll be great. I may have to go out to avoid the limelight. In addition, I need you to help me say good things."

Xu Qing was not surprised. The captain and Wu Jianwu had been here many times before. He knew about it from the informant. Now he nodded. Where is the captain's goal this time?

"Nine times out of ten, it's that tooth." Xu Qing glanced at the captain and left Xianchi. It was late at night when he returned to the berth. After sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

During this period of time, he was away with Zixuan Shangxian, and he couldn't fully sink his mind when meditating, which took some time, so Xu Qing planned to catch up with the practice that was left behind by the time spent in the next few days.

In this way, three days passed.

In the middle of the night on the third day, Xu Qing, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he felt a change in the storage bag.

It came out from the bottle of the little black bug that ate the fairy jelly.

Xu Qing took out the bottle, felt it first, and opened it after confirming that it was all right.

There was nothing in the bottle, Xu Qing looked around and didn't feel anything.

But there was a strong sense of crisis, pervading around him.

Xu Qing looked as usual, raised his left hand, and opened his right palm, blood overflowed instantly, and the wound healed in an instant, but the blood that flowed out was enough.

The next moment, the air flowed, and a group of invisible and hard-to-perceive existences rushed straight to the blood on Xu Qing's palm from all around. Under Xu Qing's observation, the blood on his palm shrank visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared.

With the disappearance of the blood, in Xu Qing's perception, he finally felt the existence of the little black bug.

After absorbing the fairy jelly, these little black bugs have become so hidden that Xu Qing couldn't detect it before.

But after all, they were fed by Xu Qing's own blood in batches, and Xu Qing's poison was contained in their bodies. Although they hadn't drank blood for a long time, their instincts still existed.

And at this moment, after swallowing Xu Qing's blood, the connection between them became clear again.

"A total of 370." Xu Qing glanced around, feeling satisfied.

But he understands that these are just the beginning, and he still needs to continue to feed them, and these bugs have not eaten poison for a long time, so they are all showing hunger at this moment.

So Xu Qing left the berth the next day, and bought poisonous weeds and poisonous weeds in every pharmacy in the main city of the Eight Sects Alliance. He was treated as a Taoist, with a share of 800 million spirit stones every year, so he didn't feel bad about buying poisonous weeds.

In one day, he bought a lot of poisonous weeds, many of which were precious and rare poisons, and some finished poison pills. After buying these, Xu Qing began to feed the little black worms.

For this feeding, Xu Qing originally planned to proceed step by step.

But his little black worms were obviously extremely hungry. At first Xu Qing was worried that they would not be able to bear it, so he controlled the feeding rhythm a bit.

But in the end, he simply put the poisonous weeds and pills he bought there, and his little black worms pounced on them and devoured them frantically.

In this way, seven days passed, the little black worms ate more and more poisonous plants, and the spirit stones spent every day were like flowing water, but the poison contained in the same little black worms may be because the fairy jelly was completely absorbed by them , became more and more fierce.

Even an ordinary golden elixir of Tiangong, if bitten by them and penetrated into the body, it would definitely die suddenly.

This made Xu Qing also take a deep breath, and then took out his poison pill, and started to complete the plan he had made when he was in Nanhuangzhou. He wanted to cultivate little black worms that could live in the poison pill.

It's just that this process is still not particularly smooth. Although the little black worms have mutated and are more ferocious than before, the poison of the poison elixir is too terrifying. They just can persist for a longer time, and they still can't fully live in it.

But Xu Qing was already very satisfied, because he discovered that this batch of little black worms could actually swallow some of the poison of the forbidden poison elixir and stay in the body.

Although it is difficult for too long, they have to be spit out every few days, otherwise they will rot and become fly ash, but... being able to do this is enough to greatly increase Xu Qing's combat power.

He can finally make limited use of the Drug Prohibition Pill, using it as his trump card, rather than a means to kill them all.

This made Xu Qing very excited, so he started a new round of purchases. This time, what he purchased were no longer poisonous herbs and poisons, but living beasts.

In Nanhuang Continent, there are murderers on death row as a hotbed for him to breed little black bugs, but the department he is in charge of in the Eight Sects Alliance does not have a prison, but the Eight Sects Alliance has no shortage of fierce beasts.

After Xu Qing tried it, he found that although the effect was not as good as that of a death row prisoner, it was acceptable, so in the following time, all kinds of screaming beasts in his dharma boat were constantly isolated within the protection.

In this way, a month passed.

The number of Xu Qing's little black worms finally changed from more than 300 to more than 3000. When he put them in three small bottles and put them away, he received a voice transmission from Master Qi.

"Seeing that you bought poisonous weeds and beasts recently, I guess you are refining poisons again. How are you doing now? If you are not in a hurry, I will take you out for my teacher and get you a golden elixir exercise. By the way, see if you can fish. "

"Now that you have two life lamps, there are many people who know about it, whether it is the Lingyun Sword Sect or some malice from the outside world. This time, go out to attract a wave of them, so that you can go out by yourself in the future, and you can be more comfortable."

Qi Ye had told Xu Qing about this matter before, Xu Qing did not hesitate and obeyed the teacher's order.

At the same time, in the northern part of Yinghuang Prefecture, at the end of Taisdu'er Mountain, there is a white, snowy and icy cold place. Not only the mountain is covered with snow all year round, but the earth is even more so.

The living environment here is extremely harsh, and it is not suitable for ordinary people to survive. Only in the fringe areas can there be some ordinary small countries, and deep in the ice sheet, it is difficult to see people for thousands of miles.

But there is a huge pillar that seems to support the sky and the earth, standing in the extreme north.

The whole body of this pillar is pitch black, even the blizzard and wind cannot shake it at all, and the end cannot be seen when you look up.

Only when you get close can you see that the pillar is a thousand feet thick, but the height is still unknown.

Countless runes and totems are engraved on it, exuding an indescribably vast power.

It can make all those who see it feel small and want to worship.

Even more, from this pillar, a monstrous fighting intent emanated, which contained incomparable ferocity, and seemed to be able to shatter everything.

This is the Li You Zhu of Absolute Beginning!
Looking around, there are countless yurt tents around Liyou Zhu in the early days, with a total of hundreds of thousands, forming a special city.

There are no ordinary people in it, only monks from all directions, they gather here to practice in the Eternal Chuli Youzhu.

Therefore, the pillar is strange, and if the fluctuations emitted by people are perceived for a long time, a talisman containing fighting intent will be formed in the mind. Through this talisman, one can sharpen one's will and improve one's cultivation.

In addition...the Primordial Liyou Pillar contains countless inheritances, and anyone can climb it at any time. The higher you go, the greater the inheritance you will benefit from.

Therefore, the sixth major force in Yinghuangzhou was formed.

Of course, there is another more important reason, and that is... this place is where the sword-wielding sword court is located in Yinghuang Prefecture.

The Sword Holding Court was built on the highest point of the Liyou Pillar in the early days. Behind the countless clouds and mist, above the sky, at the end of the pillar, there is a palace standing there.

This palace is different. It is not made of bricks or beautiful jade, but built of swords. Countless swords are intertwined to form this sword palace.

Between Taichu Liyou Pillar and the palace, it seemed that the former was supporting the latter, but also... the latter was suppressing the former.

Because the feeling on the earth is not very clear, but here, you can faintly see that the Li You Pillar of Absolute Beginning is shaking slightly, as if someone is calling for it, making it want to rise from the ground.

But being suppressed by the Sword Palace, he could only shake, but couldn't move the slightest away.

At this moment, in this sword palace, a powerful discussion of the sword court is going on!
There are a total of nine people participating in this discussion. They are all wearing white robes, and they can't see clearly, but every one of them exudes terrifying fluctuations, and the eyes exposed from the white robes from time to time also contain supreme majesty .

It seems that the life and death of one religion and one religion can be completely decided by the nine of them.

Because the nine of them are the highest-level sword-wielders of the Yinghuangzhou Sword-holding Court, and they are as powerful as the Taisi Xianmen, so they have to obey and cooperate with their edicts in name.

Because they represent the orthodox human race, one of the five Shangxuan tribes of the human race, the sword-holding tribe, and they are located in the office of Yinghuangzhou.

Because behind them is the ancient country inherited after the departure of the ancient emperor Xuanyou in the imperial capital. Even though the human race is declining now, and the former leader Wanggu has now become only one domain and seven counties, he is still a big clan. one.

There is still... the reign of the Human Emperor.

At this moment, there was a voice echoing in the sword holding court.

"Two things. First, a new round of entrance exams for sword-wielders is about to begin. An edict came from the sword-wielding palace in Fenghai County. The great world is coming, and the arrogance of all races is appearing frequently. It is a crisis and an opportunity. Let the states hold the sword Ting, this time the entrance examination raises the threshold, my sword holders only need to be outstanding."

"The second thing is that in recent years, the vibration of Li Youzhu in Taichu has become more and more intense, and I have responded to the matter of Shangzuo. According to the deduction in the county palace, it is consistent with our judgment. The ghost master in Yinghuangzhou is showing signs of recovery. , the county palace asked me to deal with it as soon as possible."

"If it is going to recover, so in recent years, the three souls and seven spirits of this ghost master have been transformed into Sanlingzhen Daoshan and Nanyue Qisha, and their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds."

"This matter will be carried out according to our previous discussion. The revival of this Ghost Venerable requires the return of three souls and seven souls. Suppressing one soul is not effective, so we need to plan to suppress one soul and capture him here."

"In this way, the Ghost Venerable cannot be consummated, and it is difficult to wake up."
