Chapter 355 An Unusual Thing Happened
The sky in the north is dark earlier than in the south, and so is dusk.

Come quickly, go quickly, make way for the night.

Because Baixue doesn't like the sun, because the sky hates the twilight.

So soon the sky was dark.

It's just the long night, I can't think about it...

Xu Qing stood in front of the tent at the station, staring at the night, looking in the direction of Nanhuangzhou.

This place is too far away from Nanhuang Continent.

"I don't know what happened to Chen Feiyuan, and how Tingyu is now. With them here, there will be no lack of worship in front of the teacher's grave." Xu Qing murmured, and walked into the tent of the residence.

After sitting cross-legged, he sighed and closed his eyes.

After a long time, the turmoil in his mind calmed down, and then he took out the small clay bottle.

"I hope it can be useful." Xu Qing put the small clay pot aside, took out the black iron stick that had accompanied him for many years from his body, and stroked it gently with his right hand.

He knows every bit of sharpness of this iron sign, and he has mastered every detail.

The teacher in the slums once said that the older a person is, the more nostalgic he is. Xu Qing thinks this is not absolute, because he is not old, but he is also nostalgic.

Whether it is old people or old things, as long as they have helped him, he will never forget them.

With such emotions, Xu Qing lowered his head and opened the small clay bottle, put the black iron pick into it along the mouth of the bottle, and radiated his perception into the iron stick to feel the changes inside.

Soon, Xu Qing felt a trace of golden mist emanating from the clay tile bottle.

The mist drifted and penetrated along the black iron stick, but more of it walked and circled on the iron stick, entangled in circles, and slowly nourished.

This process was not short, and it took a full night until the sky outside became bright, and all the golden mist wrapped around the iron sign dissipated.

They are all integrated into the iron sign.

Xu Qing took out the iron pick, held it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, carefully inspecting every inch, until after it was fully inspected, a happy smile appeared on Xu Qing's face.

Most of the gaps that had appeared on the black iron signature were repaired overnight. The most important thing is that the material itself seems to be a little different from before.

It seems to have been refined again.

On this point, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect had more say, so when Xu Qing summoned him, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect saw this scene, felt it very seriously, and finally spoke with certainty.

"Master, I can feel that the material of the iron sign is changing. Just like a monk is promoted, it is also promoted. If it goes on like this, it will change, from a heavy treasure to a magic weapon. And because it was once blessed by me, once it becomes a magic weapon Its power is no less powerful than that of spirit weapons!

It can even be said that it is a spiritual weapon, but it needs more nourishment. "

Xu Qing nodded, thinking in his eyes.

The Qi of Zhang Gengjin is very expensive, but being able to buy it is naturally the easiest way to obtain it, but Xu Qing thinks that the amount sold outside should not be very large.

"Let's look for it first. In addition, I will go to Taichu Liyou Zhu soon to see if I can get this kind of Gengjin Qi in the last chapter."

Xu Qing made up his mind, carefully put away the iron sign, closed his eyes and meditated.

Soon the sky was bright, and Xu Qing opened his eyes and walked out, looking for Gengjin Qi in the entire city.

Indeed, as he judged, this kind of strange aura from Liyou Zhu in the early days was not sold, but the quantity was indeed very small. Xu Qing searched for a day, and only collected three more wisps.

According to his analysis, in order to complete the promotion of the black iron sign, he needs at least thirty wisps.

With this in mind, as dusk approached, Xu Qing was on his way to the station. He saw the altar again, saw the cross-legged old man on it, and heard the way of grass and trees in his mouth.

"Night Corpse Morning Glory, also known as poisonous mountain root Vernonia, is the cane and root of the Asteraceae plant Vernonia variegata, a woody vine that grows in corpse-yin ravines, cold streams or jungles..."

The vicissitudes of the voice echoed in all directions, but the number of casual practitioners outside the altar was less than yesterday, and there were only a dozen people today.

Xu Qing listened for a while, then left silently. Before leaving this time, he paid a spirit stone.

In this way, time passed, and soon half a month passed.

In the past half month, more and more disciples from various sects of the human race came to Liyou Pillar of Absolute Beginning, which made the City of Absolute Beginning more lively, and there were also many monks climbing Liyou Pillar of Absolute Beginning.

It's just that Li Ziliang from Taisi Xianmen is still ranked first, his height has reached almost [-] zhang, and the higher he goes up, the more difficult it seems.

During this period, this person sent three more letters of challenge to the alliance, and it was still Xu Qing who challenged.

Xu Qing ignored it. During this period of time, apart from occasionally buying some Gengjin breath, he spent most of his time at the Taoist altar. It has become a habit of him to stop every day when he returns.

Until he heard that the old man began to talk about the method of alchemy, he simply sat by the altar to listen.

At that time, Master Bai only taught him plants and trees, but he didn't teach much about alchemy. It was Xu Qing's own exploration and self-study later on.

Although he had made some achievements, generally speaking, Xu Qing was still lacking in alchemy, so he listened very seriously. These days were peaceful, and Xu Qing was often in a trance, as if he had returned to the scavengers' camp.

At the same time, he also felt that the unremarkable old man had a very high attainment in alchemy, because Xu Qing would suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment when the other party said a word to many key points.

"The transformation method of yin and yang is actually only one of them. The way of alchemy is profound and far-reaching. So far, the human race has more than 6000 methods of alchemy."

"I don't recommend teaching these methods of alchemy, because it's just an external method, so at most it's just teaching the technique of transforming the yin and yang poles, so the method is not more about refining, but a kind of use of vegetation."

"Remember, there are thousands of roads, and the road ends up in one."

"So the foundation of alchemy is the most important. Afterwards, you need to figure out the suitable technique. After all, the simplest combination is also effective."

"As for the so-called refining, in fact, in my opinion, it's just a way to better stimulate and blend the medicinal effects of plants and trees."

"Although these methods are alchemy techniques, I hope that the human monks who listen to my alchemy can understand the essence, so that they can achieve future achievements."

Xu Qing listened to all this with a dazed expression, vaguely as if the old man in front of him had become Master Bai.

He instinctively sat upright, and instinctively remembered all this. At the same time, during this study, he gradually felt that he was more transparent about alchemy and vegetation.

His own attainments in alchemy of plants and trees have been significantly improved, and he has a system to support him.

His foundation was built by Master Bai, and it is extremely solid.

The follow-up self-study was complicated and gradually became chaotic. It was he who relied on his previous foundation and focused on the way of poison, so he barely maintained his system of alchemy from collapsing.

But this time the study was like discarding the chaff and saving the chai, which made Xu Qing gradually find a direction in Dan Dao.

According to what Qi Ye said when he took Xu Qing to Guidi Mountain, in Xu Qing's heart, a "god" once again moved in, the "god" that illuminates the direction of his alchemy.

This made Xu Qing very happy, he hadn't been this happy for a long time.

The increase in knowledge made him feel very fulfilled, but accidents always appeared unexpectedly, which interrupted Xu Qing's study.

There is one thing he needs to deal with.

The cause of the matter was some not very serious conflicts. Several disciples of Xuanyouzong and Qixuetong of the Eight Sects Alliance had conflicts with Taisi Xianmen. In fact, it was more or less related to Xu Qing.

During this period of time, he ignored Li Ziliang's challenge many times, causing a lot of gossip, and these remarks naturally made the disciples of the Eight Sect Alliance feel uncomfortable.

So the emergence of friction is difficult to avoid.

This time it was like this, several disciples of Xuanyouzong and Qixuetong were detained by Li Ziliang of Taisi Xianmen during the friction between Taisi Xianmen, and the attack was very ruthless.

He also informed the Eight Cases Alliance to appoint Xu Qing to make amends.

This is obviously to force Xu Qing to fight with him.

This matter also spread quickly, so that most of the disciples from Li Youzhu's sect here in the early days knew about it, and they all paid attention to this matter with the mentality of watching the excitement.

After all, Xu Qing didn't accept the challenge before. To those who don't know Xu Qing, this is obviously a cowardly way of avoiding war. Now that Li Ziliang is doing this, they want to see if Xu Qing will continue to avoid it.

"It's a bit annoying." Xu Qing frowned after knowing this. Naturally, he was not annoyed by the disciples of the alliance, but Li Ziliang of the Taisi Xianmen.

Xu Qing could clearly see the other party's desire to take him to the fore and arouse the gaze of the sword-wielding swordsman.

This kind of thinking can't be wrong, but in order to achieve the purpose of detaining and forcing the war, it is a bit too much, and once the matter is over, it means abnormality.

For abnormal things, Xu Qing will think deeply.

For example, does the opponent's repeated challenges have other purposes?

But no matter what the purpose was, the opponent seemed not ready yet, so he just forced himself to accept the challenge instead of a life-and-death battle, which made Xu Qing feel that the opponent most likely wanted to test his own strength.

Regardless of whether it was a slum, a camp for scavengers, or the way of dealing with things he had learned in Zongmen, when encountering such a situation, Xu Qing had only one way to deal with it.

That is to not give the opponent a second chance to make a move, and kill him the first time.

What he dislikes the most is not being able to kill after the fight. After all, from the analysis point of view, there is a high probability that the opponent's malicious elements exist. In this case, the hatred will definitely end.

If the other party can continue to grow, Xu Qing will feel that it is a hidden danger.

So Xu Qing took out the jade slips and sent a voice transmission to the ancestor for questioning.

"Old Ancestor, killing people is not allowed within the range of Li Youzhu in the early days. Does this range refer to the whole territory, or this city?"

After a while, the ancestor responded quietly.

"This city, you boy... Forget it, just watch it."

Xu Qing nodded, and clasped his fists outside the altar to the old man who was talking about the grass and trees. He knew that the other party would not pay attention, because during this time, the old man was just talking and never asked or paid attention to anyone below.

But Xu Qing attaches great importance to etiquette. After worshiping at this moment, his body swayed and went straight to the sky, and he went straight to the outside of the city. Standing in midair, he made a faint sound.

"Li Ziliang, life and death battle, can you accept it?"

As soon as the voice came out, the entire city of Absolute Beginning and the disciples of various sects were in an uproar instantly.
