Outside of Time

After looking around, Xu Qing lowered his head to pick up the blood-stained bag of the middle-aged monk, and scattered the corpse on the corpse. Under the wash of the rain, the broken corpse of flesh and blood turned into blood and melted with the rain on the ground. together.

After doing this, Xu Qing returned to the boat and sat cross-legged in the cabin. He opened the other party's pocket and frowned after scanning it. Apart from some miscellaneous items, there were no spiritual stones or cultivation resources in the pocket.

There is no magic boat, only a blood-colored jade slip and the identity token exist. However, with the death of this person, the identity token loses its luster. Xu Qing cannot see the specific contribution points in it and cannot transfer them.

This thing requires one's own initiative.

"His items should have been placed in other locations..." Xu Qing sighed to himself. Before, he used to focus on killing when he took action, so it was difficult for the opponent to transfer his contribution points.

"Next time, if there is a chance, should you seriously injure yourself first?" Xu Qing thought for a while, but still felt that it was not safe, so he picked up the blood-colored jade slip, and after checking it, his eyes suddenly flashed.

"Wanted?" This is not a regular wanted jade slip, it is more like a private release. It contains a series of character information, all of them are disciples of Qixuetong, and the price is also marked at the back.

One of them was marked with Xu Qing's name and even his nickname in the scavenger camp. The price given at the end was fifty spirit stones.

"Ancestor of the Diamond Sect!" A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. The only person who could know his information and offer a reward of fifty spirit stones was the ancestor of the Diamond Sect.

Obviously the other party has found his traces and found out his information in Seven Blood Pupils.

After all, although Antler City is a branch of Seven Blood Pupils, the King Kong Sect also has connections in that area, so it is not too difficult to find them.

"The King Kong Sect's ancestor can know this information so quickly, which shows that he also has certain connections within the Seven Blood Pupils."

"But due to the rules of the Seven Blood Eyes, he didn't dare to do it himself, so he issued a reward!"

Xu Qing pondered, looked at the bloody jade slip, and after some manipulation, he simply took over the task of killing himself.

"We must practice quickly, and then kill the ancestor of the King Kong Sect as soon as possible!"

Time flies and several days pass.

It rained for four whole days.

On the third day, it turned into a big storm, setting off huge waves that seemed to sweep across the entire harbor.

However, under the suppression of the formation of the main city, no matter how shocking the storm was, the harbor was like a rock and remained motionless. Until the early morning of the fifth day, the storm that could not rage chose to retreat unwillingly, and the wind and rain gradually became much lighter.

Xu Qing looked up at the sky outside. Although it was early morning, the sky was gray and full of depression.

He sorted out the elixirs, walked out of the Dharma boat, and just stepped onto the shore. In the wind and rain outside, the fishy smell of the sea filled the air, mixed with a faint hint of blood.

Although the past four days were filled with storms, for the murderer, the job was smooth and rainy. However, in addition to searching for Yejiu clues, there was one more task every day.

That's the crime hunt.

In Seven Blood Pupils, whenever a storm comes, due to the bad weather and the shutdown of various departments, plus the fact that most monks don't go out,... the secret plundering and killing of each other will suddenly increase sharply.

In just four days, according to the statistics obtained by the Seventh Peak Crime Catcher Division, a total of more than 80 disciples died in the port area, of which seven disciples from the Catcher Division died.

As for the death toll in the other six districts, outsiders do not know, but it is obviously unlikely to be much lower.

In a storm, it is difficult to find any clues, and this kind of thing is nothing in Qixuetong and does not attract much attention. The murder department is also accustomed to it, and it is just a superficial investigation.

Even if an old member of the Sixth Team died, no one would care.

In the past few days, Xu Qing also found an opportunity to ask the captain about the old man at the Banquan Road Inn. He was told that he was not a human race, but had a relationship with the First Peak, and had obtained the right to live in the main city.

On weekdays, everything is peaceful, but as for the filth inside the inn, for the sake of First Peak, as long as it doesn't cross the line, the murderer doesn't pay much attention to it.

Xu Qing also learned from this that humans are not the only ethnic group in this world, there are many non-human races.

But he had only met the old man in the inn, so he kept the matter in his heart.

After going to catch the murderer Dian Mao, Xu Qing was holding an umbrella and walking on the street.

He planned to go to the drug store to sell the white elixir he had refined in the past few days in exchange for more medicinal herbs. Because he had a large amount of white elixir on him, Xu Qing was even more vigilant.

Perhaps because the rain had lightened up, there were more people in the city that day than in the previous days. Xu Qing was alert, and not long after, he came to the drug store he often went to.

There were not many people in the shop, but Xu Qing saw a familiar figure, Zhou Qingpeng, who was in the same batch as him.

Zhou Qingpeng also saw Xu Qing and hesitated for a moment. He didn't recognize him immediately. He just felt that the person in front of him looked familiar. After all, during the test that day, Xu Qing was dressed in a dirty scavenger outfit.

Xu Qing didn't say anything. The old shopkeeper on the side smiled after seeing him come in. He was deeply impressed by Xu Qing. After all, he was not a disciple of the Second Peak, but he knew so much about herbal medicine, which was rare.

"You came just in time, I have something good here today." The shopkeeper said with a smile, took out a secret leather bag from behind, and opened it to reveal five dried blue insect corpses inside.

This insect looks ferocious, with long mouthparts, four pairs of legs, and natural patterns on its back, like grimaces, and each one has a different grimace. Some look like crying, some look like laughing, and some look like... angry.

Although the whole thing is only the size of a palm, it is full of sharp thorns, especially the tail, and it even has a mouth.

You can see the tiny teeth are extremely sharp.

Even though the body was dried up and dried up in the sun at this moment, if you glance away, you will still be shocked by its ferocious appearance.

"Ghost-like horseshoe crab!" Xu Qing's expression moved slightly. He quickly walked forward and observed carefully. He had heard Master Bai say that this ghost-like horseshoe crab only lives in the deep sea. It is usually very popular on the market. It is rare and belongs to a very unsophisticated poisonous insect.

Its blood is blue and extremely toxic, but with some special preparations, it can be made into a healing medicine.

Zhou Qingpeng, who was checking the elixirs in the store, also glanced at them after hearing this.

"As expected, you know him." The shopkeeper said with a smile, and at the same time he looked up to Xu Qing even more. He knew very well that even the disciples of the Second Peak didn't know many of these sideline poisonous insects.

So I was even more curious in my heart, where did this handsome young man in front of me learn such good knowledge of medicine.

"How to sell it?" Xu Qing was moved and asked the shopkeeper.

"I don't dare to sell it." The shopkeeper coughed and put away the ghosts. Seeing that Xu Qing's eyes were always on the leather bag containing the poisonous insects, he seemed to be reluctant to let go, so he explained with a smile.

"My boss spent a lot of effort to get this. It was just delivered today. The boss came to pick it up soon. How dare I sell it... I just took it out for you to appreciate. After all, this thing is rare. ”

Xu Qing was a little regretful and looked away. He did not take out the white pill immediately. Instead, he waited for a while. After Zhou Qingpeng paid and left, Xu Qing took out the leather bag containing the white pill and placed it on the counter.

"I'm not buying herbs today, I'm selling elixirs."

"Huh?" The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, and he immediately opened the leather bag and glanced around, his expression suddenly moved.

"So much white pill?" He did not check immediately, but carefully washed his hands aside. Then he put on a pair of gloves, signaled to Xu Qing that the gloves were clean, opened the leather bag, and took out the white pill inside.

Putting them on the counter, his eyes showed surprise. There were really too many white pills, more than five hundred, and each one was extremely round. The aroma of the medicine hit his face and filled the pharmacy.

Many customers here also smelled the smell and looked over. Xu Qing frowned slightly, and his right hand landed next to the leather bag containing the black iron sign seemingly naturally.

At this moment, the shopkeeper carefully inspected the elixir. He was very surprised in his heart. He raised his head and took a deep look at the young man in front of him. He thought that the other person's knowledge of plants and trees was already very good, but now he knew that the other person's alchemy technique was even more outstanding. Outstanding.

These elixirs are completely natural, and they are a one-time success. There are no mistakes in the refining process, and each one is white and transparent, and contains some natural medicinal oil, just like mutton-fat jade.

Not all Second Peak disciples have this technique, so after taking stock, the shopkeeper pondered and gave a price.

"How about ten spirit stones?"

Xu Qing knew the price of goods in the main city. The general selling price of white pills was around thirty spirit coins, while the value of one spirit stone was about one thousand spirit coins.

So after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

The shopkeeper quickly took out the spirit stone and handed it to Xu Qing, then arranged the pills on the counter. Xu Qing glanced at the people around him, narrowed his eyes, and turned around to leave.

When I walked to the door, I saw a girl coming from outside. Before she could get close, the scent of medicine hit her first.

This girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a white umbrella and wearing a light orange Taoist robe!

You must know that in the entire Qixuetong, the disciples at the foot of every peak wear gray robes, and only the core disciples can wear solid colors.

Like the lavender color of the seventh peak, that's it.

What this robe represents is his noble status!

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, he turned sideways and glanced away.

Under the white paper umbrella, the girl's medium-long black hair was draped casually on her shoulders, with a moderately slanted bang just passing through her eyelids.

Under the long eyelashes, there were watery eyes, and the light orange robe seemed to become a long skirt on her body.

The waist is not full, and the beauty is flawless, as if it is not the fireworks of the world.

Especially at this moment, the rainy wind blows, causing the two strands of hair on the side of her cheeks to blow gently on her face, revealing her skin, which is as smooth as warm jade and as soft as greasy light.

She also saw Xu Qing. After scanning his face, she did not show the arrogance of being a core disciple, but smiled elegantly and let him go first.

Xu Qing nodded, looked away, and left. After he left, the girl who walked into the drug store quietly spread her fresh fragrance throughout the store, slowly spreading into the hearts of everyone inside.

"Master, you're here. Actually, you don't need to come in person. I'll just send it to you." The shopkeeper ran over quickly, looking very respectful.

"Uncle Peng, you don't have to be so polite. I'm tired of refining elixirs in the mountains, so I came out to relax." The girl smiled and followed the shopkeeper to the counter.

"It should be, it should be." The shopkeeper remained respectful, followed quickly, took out the leather bag containing the Ghost Horse at the counter, and handed it to the girl.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was still so polite, the girl shook her head helplessly and was about to leave after taking it. Suddenly her beautiful eyes swept over and landed on the white pills that had not been completely collected on the counter.

Suddenly there was a light sigh.

He raised his jade-like white right hand, gently picked up a pill, and placed it in front of his innocent and pretty face. He stared at it carefully, and a trace of surprise clearly appeared in his eyes.

"Boss, what's wrong with this pill? Is there something wrong with it?" The shopkeeper saw this scene and asked carefully.

"No problem." The girl put it to her nose and smelled it.

"This elixir is very good and extremely pure. It is rare to see elixirs like this."

The shopkeeper was even more surprised when he heard this.

"My boss, you are the core disciple of the Second Peak and the genius of alchemy. You think the purity of this elixir is rare? But no matter how pure the white elixir is, it is still white elixir."

The girl chuckled upon hearing this.

"Uncle Peng, you are right. White elixir is just a basic elixir. Although the higher the purity, the better. But in terms of efficacy, just taking a few more pills will suffice."

"Purity represents the refining technique, and this is what interests me." The girl looked at the elixir in her hand again, and her eyes became brighter.

So she asked the shopkeeper to take out all the white pills in this batch. After checking them one by one, the surprise in her eyes became more and more intense.

"Each one is actually like this. With such a large quantity, judging from the temperature of the medicine on it, they were refined in batches. The earliest one should have been yesterday."

"This shows that the other party has achieved the ultimate in the liquid medicine stage. Every batch is exactly the same." The girl murmured and asked the shopkeeper to pack all the white pills in this batch. She was going to take them back and study them carefully. .

Before leaving, she remembered something and asked.

"Uncle Peng, where did you get this batch of white pills from?"

"A disciple who doesn't know which peak has just left. Boss, you should have seen it when he came in." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked outside the medicine shop. Xu Qing was no longer there.

The girl recalled for a moment, and the very handsome young man just now appeared in her mind, so she nodded.

"Uncle Peng, if that person comes to sell elixirs again, please don't sell all the elixirs, just keep them for me."

Hearing the explanation from his boss, the shopkeeper was also surprised in his heart and quickly said yes. At the same time, he became even more curious about Xu Qing.
