Chapter 589 My Karma... You Are Poisonous!

In the middle of the night, the sky and the earth are pitch black, except for the Kusheng mountain range, where there are sporadic lights dimmed in the wind.

The whimpering wind kept blowing, and occasionally some sand was lifted up and rolled into the earth city.

Although there are not many winds and sands that can reach the mountains, there is still a rattling sound when it falls on the door panel. Occasionally, I will feel uneasy when I hear it, but after listening for a long time, I get used to it.

At least for Xu Qing, the howling wind outside the house had become a part of his life in the past half a year. At this moment, his consciousness was withdrawn from the cursed jade slip, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

It has been three days since he came back from Niyue Palace. During these three days, Xu Qing has been analyzing the curse information, and now he has finally finished it all.

"The people of Niyue Temple have researched the curse to such a fine-grained level."

Xu Qing murmured, he felt that the curse information he exchanged for poison pills and spirit stones was worth it.

This information is quite comprehensive, obviously not completed in one generation, it should have been passed down for many years, including various tests on curses and a lot of conjectures.

"Someone has confirmed through many experiments that this curse has life..."

"Others have investigated hundreds of races and found that there are subtle differences in the curses of each race. It seems that some races have very few curses from birth, but it will slowly increase as time goes by."

"There are also people from Niyue Palace who specialize in studying the changes in the outbreak of the curse, and sorted out 130 and seven different reactions. It seems that different ethnic groups have different details at the moment the curse erupts."

"This curse can form specific tortures for different ethnic groups. For example, the Dingyang clan is born with a lack of physical pain, so the outbreak of the curse in their clan is the soul."

"There is another principle that was also researched by Niyue Temple, that is... the curses of different ethnic groups can be mixed."

"The curses in the bodies of all beings in the Moon Festival are not static. The curses in different races can be superimposed and influenced each other through oral and blood."

Xu Qing's eyes showed a strange light. This method opened up a lot of ideas for him. Before this, he never thought that the curse could be used in this way.

For example, someone mixes the curse that is mainly aimed at the soul after the outbreak into a group that is not afraid of damage to the soul, and then the curse of this group is mixed, thereby reducing the torment at the moment of the outbreak.

"The curses of different ethnic groups are different, and because of this, there are mutual blending... This is the principle of the solution pill."

Xu Qing lowered his head, and took out one of the many jade slips in front of him that recorded the curse information. This slip described this method, and Xu Qing finally understood why the price of the Relief Pill was so high and the quantity was so scarce.

"Any Difficulty-Resolving Pill needs to integrate the characteristics of multiple ethnic groups, so as to achieve an all-round offset, so that the curse of the swallowed person can be alleviated."

"In addition, if it is a higher level, it needs to be tailored by the alchemist, and it will be allocated according to the characteristics of the user's ethnic group."

"That is to say, the solution pill is actually a curse pill that mixes the curse power of multiple ethnic groups. However, the subtleties require a lot of deployment and consideration, so that these curses will not be strengthened after mixing, but will interact with each other. offset."

"Fight curses with curses, and counteract each other with mutual generation and transformation."

Xu Qing lamented that he understood that the information he had obtained was just the tip of the iceberg in the study of the curse by Niyuedian, but even if he only obtained a tip, he could still deeply feel the wisdom of the monks of Niyuedian.

"Continuing this research, maybe one day in the future, they will be able to create a pill that perfectly counteracts the outbreak of the curse, so that there is a possibility of escaping from this domain."

"The premise is that...the red mother did not change the way of the curse, and the inheritance of knowledge was not lost due to the destruction of the red mother."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. After studying the information, he realized that the Jienan Pill would be his breakthrough against the curse.

"I have the same power as Red Moon, and to a certain extent I can release the curse myself. In theory, my blessing not only deepens the curse, but also consumes it."

"As for the previous direction, I went wrong. I wanted to solve the curse all at once, but due to my lack of Ziyue level, it was too difficult."

"Then if the curse is weakened..."

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, with determination in his eyes.

"I need a solution pill to verify my guess."

With this in mind, Xu Qing took out the mirror and entered the Niyue Palace again.

In the next moment, at the foot of the mountain where the Moon Palace is located, the eyes of the statue on the altar of a small temple opened and closed instantly.

Without acting rashly, Xu Qing stood on the altar and felt the surroundings first. After confirming that there was no problem, he controlled the body of the statue and took a step forward.

After landing, he moved his body again, and checked the statue for any changes.

There are still cracks, and the appearance is the same as before. It is an old man in a long robe with a gourd on his back.

Business as usual.

Only then did Xu Qing push open the gate of the temple and walk out.

Looking at the blue sky and bright light here, as well as the statues coming and going, he joined them without hesitation.

This time his goal was very clear, looking for a solution pill that he could exchange. On the way, he passed by the temple where the poison pill was traded three days ago, and instinctively glanced at it.

Although the temple is glorious, it seems that the owner has not come.

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to it, and left quickly, looking for one by one, but there are too many temples here, it is difficult to check all of them at once, even if there is someone who sells Jienan Pill, Xu Qing can't meet the required requirements.

As for the temple where the [-] red skyfire crystals were exchanged, Xu Qing went there and found that something had happened to the other party, so he closed the transaction and did not allow outsiders to enter.

Xu Qing was a little regretful. After searching for a long time, he could only exchange some curse information in other temples, and then left.

Time passed, and ten days passed quickly.

In the past ten days, Xu Qing spent almost half of every day immersed in the Niyue Temple while digesting the information and studying the curse of the beast, constantly looking for the solution pill that he could trade.

During this period, he paid attention to the temple that needed the skyfire crystal many times, but it was always closed.

The same thing that did not appear was the master who traded poisonous pills with Xu Qing to cultivate the invulnerability of all poisons, but the temple of this master was not closed and he could enter, but the statue was still lifeless.

Xu Qing entered several times and found that the light clusters floating in the temple had not changed the transaction information for a long time, and some of the medicinal herbs in the light clusters were even empty.

It seems that after the deal with Xu Qing was completed, this master never came to Niyue Palace again...

"Won't there be a problem after taking the poison pill?" Xu Qing was a little surprised in his heart, and even more apprehensive. The other party had no grievances or enmities with him...

But Xu Qing clearly reminded the other party.

"It should be because I was thinking too much. After all, those who can practice all poisons without invading the body are all strong." Xu Qing pondered, thinking that maybe he was worrying too much, maybe the master didn't show up because of other things.

With this in mind, Xu Qing left.

In the next few days, the other party still did not show up...

Until this day, Xu Qing continued to search for the Relief Pill, and when he went in and out of the shimmering temples, the entire Niyue Temple suddenly shook.

Dazzling and dazzling light erupted from the sky, followed by a terrifying fluctuation, covering the entire Niyue Temple Mountain.

Feeling something, Xu Qing walked out of the temple and looked up.

Not only him like this, most of the statues in many temples stepped out at this moment, looking at the sky.

I saw nine ancient temples under the sun on the sky, one of the temple doors suddenly opened, endless rays of light radiated from the inside, and a huge figure appeared in the temple.

With its appearance, the entire Niyue Palace shook, auspiciousness transformed into the sky, and the splendor spread.

"Meet the deputy palace master!"

A series of respectful voices came out from the mouths of the statues in an instant. After gathering together, they turned into huge sound waves and spread in all directions.

Xu Qing was also among them, and his heart was churning. This was the first time he saw the high-rises of Niyue Palace. Although they were blocked by statues and couldn't feel the specific cultivation, they could cause such changes in Niyue Palace, which is conceivable. Knowing that the cultivation base of this deputy hall master must be extraordinary.

At the same time, with the opening of the gate of the temple, as the statue walked out, under the endless light shining, the deep voice was like thunder, echoing everywhere.

"Notify me of the three things about the cultivation of the moon against the moon."

"One, the entire Moon Sacrifice Region has already been blown up, and cultivators who are unwilling to fate appear frequently in various places. A single spark is about to start a prairie fire!"

"Second, with my help in the past half a year, we have successfully destroyed five Red Moon branch halls, beheaded eleven envoys, dozens of servants, and hundreds of slaves!"

"Third, according to the definite news, the crown prince and Princess Mingmei have recovered from their injuries, and everything is fine. We are working hard to contact them. Once the contact is successful, our Niyue Palace will usher in glory!"

"Everyone, the red moon is not eternal!"

The voice of the statue reverberated, and bursts of turbulent emotions rose in the hearts of many statues. Even many closed temples were opened, and the master returned.

In the end, all the statues spontaneously bowed to the sky and responded with the same words.

"Hope lasts forever!"

The sound was loud, deafening, and resounded through the sky.

The seeds of hope were planted again.

Xu Qing was in it, looking at the huge statue in the Temple of the Sky, feeling extremely strong, and after the statue announced these things, it returned without saying a word, and the gate of the temple was closed.

Although he left, the information sent out here will spread to the entire Moon Sacrifice Region at the fastest speed.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, looking at the excited statues around him, and was about to leave, but when he looked around, he found that the temple that needed the Skyfire Crystal that he had been paying attention to for a long time was also opened.

He flew immediately, stepped into the temple, felt the light cluster inside, and found the exchange for the pill of understanding difficulty. Without any hesitation, Xu Qing took out twenty red skyfire crystals and completed the transaction.

The moment he got the Jienan Pill, Xu Qing felt relieved and turned to leave.

At this moment, Niyue Hall followed the announcement of the deputy hall master, and all the statues that could come chose to return, and it became extremely lively.

Looking around, it looks like gods and demons flying in all directions.

It's just that the temple where Xu Qing traded poison pills is still as usual...

Xu Qing didn't know what to say, so he glanced silently, then quickly returned to his temple, and chose to return.

At the same time, in the Qingsha Desert, a multicolored ray of light is moving forward rapidly, and the cyan sandstorm behind it is faintly revealing white at this moment.

It seems that Qingfeng is changing into Baifeng!

The parrot inside, with a terrified expression at the moment, cursed while flying.

"What the hell, I'm just being lazy, flying a bit slower, and shitting in a quicksand pit, why is the wind turning white!"

When the parrot fled in horror, teleported many times, trying to escape the gradually whitening sandstorm, Xu Qing's figure appeared in the back room in the earth city of Kusheng mountain range.

He sat down cross-legged with anticipation in his eyes, raised his hand and took out the solution pill from the trade, and observed intently.

This Relief Pill is colorful, mixed with many colors, it looks very weird, but the curse aura emanating from it is very obvious.

Xu Qing didn't act rashly. This trouble-solving pill was too precious, and he had no spare energy to exchange for a second one. He could only use this one and only one to study it as thoroughly as possible.

So he looked at it first, carefully observed the outer layer of the pill, and then put it in front of him and smelled it again and again, his eyes revealing contemplation, and his heart quickly analyzed.

"There is no sense of herbal medicine becoming a pill."

"But it does contain a curse and it's not one, but many strands... As for the key point is the material inside."

"This is something that can absorb the power of the curse."

Xu Qing continued to analyze.

"The amount of each strand of curse is different. It should be that there is a formula that uses the power of curses from different ethnic groups as vegetation."

"Interesting, these curses are obviously of the same origin, but there are different outbreaks and changes."

"But this is also a curse after all. Although it can relieve the pain after swallowing, in fact, the curse has not decreased, but more."

"Especially as the amount of curse increases, it will cause a lot of chain reactions, such as the consumption of vitality and the decline of cultivation... This is the side effect of the solution pill."

"Drinking poison to quench thirst..."

Xu Qing felt emotional from the bottom of his heart, then raised his left hand, and the power of the purple moon gathered in his body, forming purple silk threads.

After dancing in front of him with hundreds of threads, following Xu Qing's thought, these purple silk threads went straight to Jienan Pill.

Quickly break open and blend into it, each silk thread touches different curses in the solution pill and begins to imitate.

This is impossible for others, but Xu Qing's purple moon and red moon have the same origin, so he can do the same changes that red moon can form.

It's just that there was no reference before, and there was also a lack of sufficient experiments, but now all the answers are contained in the solution pill. For Xu Qing, this is an unlocked door.

As time passed, Xu Qing's expression became more solemn. The purple silk threads he emitted were adjusted one by one in this continuous simulation, changing according to different curses.

He was extremely cautious throughout the whole process, controlling the fluctuations of hundreds of threads, trying his best not to detonate the curse in the elixir.

Until three hours later, under such concentrated control, there were still some mistakes after all.

In an instant, the incomparably precious trouble-solving pill trembled, and in the next moment, all the curses roiled and collapsed, turning into black ash and falling to the ground along Xu Qing's fingers.

Xu Qing had no regrets, his eyes showed a strange light. In three hours, he had simulated all the curse powers of more than 300 different ethnic groups contained in this solution pill.

At this moment, looking down at the black ash on the ground, Xu Qing let out a little snort, picked up a pinch and put it in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"This is……"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed, he took out a bag, and poured out the black ash in it. After comparing, he found that the two sides were exactly the same.

Xu Qing's black ash was the result of his previous research on the curses in those beasts, and when their curses fully erupted, he didn't feel the use of the black ash, but he put it away.

Looking at it now, this is the material for absorbing curses.

"That is to say, every Difficulty-Resolving Pill is actually based on the skeleton of a life that is cursed to burst into death."

Xu Qing pondered, after a while he grabbed a ball of black ash, the power of the purple moon in his body spread out, turned into hundreds of silk threads, and quickly merged into it, according to his previous research, he quickly simulated different curses, Attached to the black ash.

During this process, the mass of black ash began to shrink, and the color on it gradually changed, until it turned into a mosaic, and the size also changed.

Xu Qing pinched it, and an irregular pill appeared in his palm.

The appearance looks almost the same as Jie Nan Pill, and the breath is exactly the same, but the essence is different.

Because all the curses were actually transformed by Xu Qing's Ziyue power.

"If the curse of the red moon is compared to an enemy army, then the current state of my purple power is that I have changed the clothes of the enemy army and changed my appearance, so that it is difficult for the enemy army to find out the clues, so that I can successfully blend into the enemy army. middle."

"In this way, the instant eruption within the enemy army can prevent it from devouring it, and directly offset some of the curse."

With a clear mind, Xu Qing took out a ferocious beast for experimentation. It was a scorpion. After appearing, his body trembled and he dared not lift his tail.

Xu Qing glanced at it, and put the pill in his hand near its mouth.

"eat."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

The scorpion didn't dare to refuse, so it could only swallow it obediently. Afterwards, its body trembled more and more, and after more than ten breaths, it collapsed with a bang and turned into black ashes.

"No pretense succeeded."

Xu Qing frowned. After recalling the previous refining process, he took out the black ash again, made minor adjustments and continued refining.

Time passed day by day, Xu Qing's attempts continued, and every time he failed, he would make fine-tuning, and finally at the dusk of the tenth day, his elixir was successfully disguised.

The ferocious beast that ate the elixir did not collapse, and even the curse in its body calmed down.

Xu Qing's heart was agitated, and he looked at the solution pill in his hand, which was the result of his little research in the past six months.

Although due to the direction, there are still some gaps with Jienan Pill, but the effect is not far behind.

"The direction of Jienan Pill is to alleviate the pain of the curse, and my direction... is to completely resolve the curse, and the pain relief is only incidental."

"Even if it can't be done now, this method should be right."

"In addition, my purple moon power also needs to be improved... and more information about the curse needs to be collected, so that it can be gradually improved."

Xu Qing looked expectant, and was about to make more trouble-solving pills while waving his hands, but the next moment he suddenly raised his head, with a sharp light in his eyes, and looked to the outside world.

With a flash of his body, he disappeared from the back room, and when he appeared, he was already at the counter of the pharmacy.

Ling'er was happily keeping accounts, and when she noticed Xu Qing's appearance, she immediately turned white and slipped into Xu Qing's sleeve.

The Patriarch of the Vajra Sect also showed fierceness in an instant. When he locked a position, Xu Qing's expression eased a little, and he looked out the window.

A multicolored awn appeared out of nowhere, and then a flicker entered the medicine shop, appearing next to the one-foot-high seedling.

Xiao Miao swayed for a while and didn't dare to move, and the multicolored light turned into a parrot, and a proud voice came out of its mouth.

"Father is fart once a parrot is born, hurry up and call Dad!"

After finishing speaking, the parrot looked at Xu Qing, proudly.

"Hey, that so-and-so, Chen Mouniu asked me to come and call you, go and light something."

"What kind of fire?" Xu Qing knew the parrot, and he frowned when he heard its words, not quite understanding.

"How the hell do I know what kind of fire to light? So-and-so cow just asked me to call you to light the fire, light the fire, light the fire!"

The parrot spoke proudly, then turned its head and bit the seedling, and started to eat it.

Miao Miao trembled, not daring to hide.

Ling'er quickly got out from Xu Qingyi's collar and glared at the parrot.

"Shut up!"

The parrot glanced sideways at Ling'er, then at Xu Qing, then raised its head, and put out a signature stick with its body, facing the person with its nostrils, continuing to be proud.

"I won't!"

The Vajra Sect patriarch passed by in an instant, but the moment he approached, the parrot suddenly disappeared, teleported to the other side of Miao Miao, and took another bite.

"I'm not!"

This speed made even the ancestor of Vajra Sect startled. Just as he was about to continue chasing him, the parrot kept flickering, teleporting around Miao Miao, bite after bite.

"I no I no I no no no!"

When the parrot was proud, its body trembled suddenly, its small eyes widened, and it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"I... Ga..."

"You are poisonous!!"

It glared at Miao Miao, and Miao Miao trembled, and the parrot coughed up blood again at this moment, and its body began to rot. It also realized that it was not Miao Miao that was poisonous, but that there was poison around itself, so it was about to speak, but it fell headfirst and fell on the ground. After landing on the ground, she looked at Xu Qing in horror.

At the same time, Xiao Miao quickly uprooted the root system, jumped down, and stomped on the parrot frantically for revenge.

The parrot howled, wanted to escape but couldn't, it could only keep rolling on the ground until the Vajra Sect Patriarch appeared, the parrot didn't dare to move anymore, its eyes were terrified.

Xiao Miao didn't dare to continue, she crawled back slowly and continued to plant herself.

Xu Qing was expressionless, and sat aside, looking down at the parrot struggling on the ground.

"Now, can we talk properly?"

The parrot nodded quickly. It finally knew why its father was afraid of this person in front of him. This person was unreasonable, and his own people were also poisoned.

"Uncle Xu, can you detoxify me first..." After speaking, the parrot coughed up blood again, dying, and his body was about to rot.

With a wave of Xu Qing's hand, most of the poison on the parrot dissipated, and it immediately perked up, but after Xu Qing glanced at it, its body trembled, and it quickly became cute.

"Uncle Xu, I was wrong. Uncle Erniu really asked me to call you to light the fire. I don't know what to order. It seems to be related to the sun."

Xu Qing looked at the parrot thoughtfully. He was also a little surprised by the speed of the parrot before, so he asked a question.

"What abilities do you have?"

"I can teleport. I am the fastest among my father's heirs, and my teleportation power has no effect no matter how harsh the environment or the sealed place is. Before my father was in danger, it was me. Take him to teleport away, anyway, I... uh, even small ones can be moved."

After the parrot finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qing cautiously.

Xu Qing nodded, and was about to speak, but the next moment he felt something, and walked to the window.

The wind blew from the sky towards the Tucheng, the house was turbulent, the wooden door swayed, and it also blew on Xu Qing's face, ruffling his hair.

In the distant world, the storm connects the sky, and the large groups of wind and sand are like a sea of ​​fog, rolling and spreading continuously, and lightning flashes inside, and roars back to all directions.

It seems that there are gods inside, driving the wind and sand to move forward. Wherever they pass, the color of the world changes, and the wind and clouds roll.

It was a sandstorm.

And its color is rapidly changing from cyan to completely white.

The sound of whimpering whirled extremely strongly at this moment, as if the sky was mourning, and the earth was howling, wanting to bury all living beings and bury them with all things.

Even more terrifying coercion descended on the entire desert with the appearance of white sandstorms.

The white sandstorm has arrived.

It swept across the earth, covered the sky, and affected the Kusheng Mountains, making everything in the outside world a hazy white at this moment, full of ominousness.

Xu Qing's eyes were solemn, and he looked down at his feet. The shadow was hunting outside and hadn't returned...
