Outside of Time

Cultivation requires resources.

Especially the arrival of the remnant face of the gods has caused all things to be invaded by aliens, which makes the acquisition of resources extremely difficult, and most of them are bloody.

Xu Qing's eyes showed contemplation. The amount of spiritual stones and materials he needed was huge, but the harvest from the white elixir refining was far from enough.

"The Murder Division earns three spiritual stones a month. Here at Bai Dan... I should be able to earn twenty spiritual stones a month if I work hard. Calculating like this, it's twenty-three spiritual stones a month."

Xu Qing frowned.

Now he wants to maintain the speed of cultivation and consumes one spirit stone every day. Then he thinks about the refining materials seen in the Six Peaks disciple shop, and the price is not less than dozens of spirit stones.

"A monthly berth requires thirty spirit stones, so I need to have an income of at least sixty spirit stones a month to be able to barely maintain my practice. If I want to refine the ark, the need is even greater." Xu Qing thought of this and opened the storage bag to check it out.

At this moment, there are still twenty spiritual stones inside, which were the rewards given by the murder department after he killed Qingyunzi.

"If you want to get more, there are three ways. One is to hunt in restricted areas, the other is to kill wanted criminals, and the last one is to go to sea to obtain materials by your own power."

Xu Qing thought for a while, and the first method was to take the route to the First Peak. Because there was a restricted area next to the sect, you had to get a route from the First Peak to get in and out, and other peak disciples had to pay a certain fee to go there.

As for the third method, going out to sea for hunting is naturally the most suitable, but in addition to the requirements for cultivation, there are also requirements for the Dharma Boat. If it does not reach a certain strength, I am afraid that it will never come back.

Xu Qing thought he could do it, but the level of the ark was too low. To improve the ark, spiritual stones and materials were needed. This was an endless cycle.

"So the fastest way is to kill wanted criminals or plunder fellow sects, so as to improve the magic boat and cultivation level as soon as possible, and then go out to sea to hunt, making everything snowball and become more and more unstoppable!"

Xu Qing's eyes showed a cold light. Rather than plundering his fellow disciples who had not provoked him, he felt that it was more appropriate to kill the wanted criminals.

After making a decision, Xu Qing sat cross-legged in his second-level magic boat, added a spirit stone to the spirit gathering array, and started practicing.

But not long after practicing, Xu Qing opened his eyes and took out his identity token in confusion, and a voice message appeared on it.

"Junior brother Xu Qing, I am Zhou Qingpeng. Was it you I saw in the drug store last time? You have changed so much. I thought about it for a long time before I figured it should be you. I see that you seem to be very interested in that Gui Yu Limu. Now I know the stuff, and my family deals in medicinal materials. If you need it, I can ask someone to get it for you, but the price is a little expensive. "

After Xu Qing read it, he thought thoughtfully and realized that Zhou Qingpeng wanted to earn some spiritual stones from him, and he really wanted a ghostly horse to study its poison, so he agreed.

Time passed and six days passed quickly.

In the past six days, Xu Qing paid attention to the list of wanted criminals every day when he went to the murder department. The informant also paid more attention to this aspect at his request.

It's just that...in the murder department, there are many people who make money from this. Most of this kind of information is kept secret, so when Xu Qing occasionally gets it, he often misses it when he goes there.

This forced Xu Qing to change his approach.

At the same time, after Xu Qing, a new person has joined the Murder Division in the past few days.

But this newcomer obviously has a background. He is not in the same department as Xu Qing, and he was not a team member after he arrived. Instead, he was directly appointed as the captain of the third team of the local team.

And this person seems to have some tricks. Less than two days after taking office, more than 20 team members under his command are all submissive.

However, due to the different division heads above, the four murderer divisions usually work independently except for cooperating on large-scale missions, and there may even be friction from time to time.

Therefore, when the third team of the Ground Department had a new captain, other departments could just listen to it. They didn't care much at first, but the new man's appointment caused some waves.

Because...the captain of the Third Earth Team who took office is not a human race.

Xu Qing had seen him once from a distance, and he immediately recognized the newly promoted captain of the Third Earth Team. He was the foreign boy who had come back with His Highness a few days ago and was standing behind him.

That day, when the foreign boy saw His Highness hugging his two sisters of the same race, he showed disdain in his eyes, which was noticed by Xu Qing.

And his identity was soon dug out by the people who were concerned about him. Xu Qing heard from the members of Team 6 that he knew that the other party was a mermaid.

Although the mermaid clan is a foreign race, they are allies with the Seven Blood Pupils and have many business contacts with each other. It is said that this person is also of high status in the mermaid clan.

After being brought back by the Third Highness, because he intended to worship the Seven Blood Pupils, he went to the Crime Catching Department under the arrangement of the Third Highness.

As for the identity of the Third Highness, Xu Qing had some guesses and asked others to confirm his suspicions.

The peak master of the seventh peak of Seven Blood Pupils has three direct disciples, two men and one woman.

Each of these three people is like a prince and princess in the Seventh Peak. One word can make countless disciples of the Seventh Peak bow their heads, even in the entire Seven Blood Pupils.

It belongs to the direct sequence of Seven Blood Pupils.

And because the leader of the Seventh Peak has amazing qualifications, his fame spreads throughout the entire Nanhuang Continent, his combat prowess is astronomical, and his power is the same, so as his direct descendant, his rank in the Seven Blood Pupils is also extremely high.

Among them, His Highness has been in seclusion all year round to attack the bottleneck. No one has seen him for many years. However, Xu Qing heard his teammates discussing it and said that His Highness is extremely mysterious and his combat power is even more terrifying.

During the foundation building period, he had a bloody record of killing many people in the same realm and slaughtering several foreign tribes. Looking at the entire Seven Blood Pupils, His Highness ranked second among the direct disciples of each peak.

During the discussion, the captain of the sixth team, who was eating an apple on the side, said something to the point.

"Generally speaking, most of these people are not bloodthirsty, but have extreme personalities. If they are touched, they will naturally be killed."

When Xu Qing heard this, he was convinced.

As for the Second Senior Sister, when her teammates talked about her, they all looked a little scared. Compared to the mysterious Highness who few people have seen over the years, too many people have seen the Second Highness.

She usually hangs around the port. She has a very strong personality and is decisive in her actions. She is known for her domineering behavior, but she also has strange powers. Once she gets angry, even the elders of the Seventh Peak will have headaches.

"She is ill and needs to be treated." The captain on the side spoke softly.

Among the Peak Master's disciples, the most popular one is His Highness.

Apart from being lustful, His Highness has almost no shortcomings. He always smiles, has no airs about his disciples, and is extremely generous.

He also tried his best to solve the disciples' requests for help, especially his relationship with the foreign races on the sea. He was even more familiar with them, and was even called the diplomatic ambassador of the Seventh Peak by many disciples.

And his romantic affairs were mostly hotly discussed by his disciples.

The captain of the sixth team was eating the apple and seemed to want to comment, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't say anything after all. He just took two bites of the apple in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile.

Although Xu Qing listened carefully to the discussion of the team members, he did not pay too much attention to it. Neither the young man from the mermaid tribe nor the three princes of the Seventh Peak had anything to do with him.

Xu Qing's focus during this period was on wanted criminals. As for the method of finding them, he also found a new direction.

That is to wait and see.

On this night, Xu Qing was on duty.

The night was dark and windy, the moon was thin, and the sea breeze brought moisture to every corner of the city, as if it was going to witness all kinds of darkness that happened in the city at night.

Gambling shops and Goulan are also open at night, with people coming and going in an endless stream. From time to time, you can see some figures wearing night clothes, climbing over the eaves and walls of various buildings.

In the alley, spiritual energy fluctuations could be heard from time to time, as if following the moonlight, all kinds of monsters and ghosts were slowly coming to the world.

However, all this noise became quieter as a figure passed by.

It wasn't until the figure left that everything returned to normal.

This figure is none other than Xu Qing.

Since the last time he dragged Qingyunzi's body and walked half the city, it has been like this every time he stayed on duty.

There are no secrets in the main city. Being able to capture Qing Yunzi alive at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, even if the opponent is only Xiao Zong's Qi Condensation, making it impossible for him to escape and extremely miserable, still represents his strength.

And he was able to leave safely after confronting the store owner outside the Banquan Road Inn. All this is enough to show that this newcomer to the murder department cannot be easily provoked.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Qing did not encounter other wanted criminals later.

But it didn't matter. Xu Qing felt that he had found a new way. At this moment, he was walking in the darkness of the city and came to Banquan Road. He looked at the open inn not far away and stood motionless in the corner under the eaves.

His body seemed to be fused with the night, waiting silently.

Since we can't find any clues or wanted criminals, we might as well just wait and see.

Xu Qing is fully equipped with patience. As for waiting here to offend the old man of the inn, Xu Qing has also considered it, but the spirit stone is more important, and Xu Qing feels that with his current combat power, it is not impossible to fight.

Just like that, time passed, and two hours later... Before dawn, a figure came silently and swiftly from a distance, and its destination was the inn.

This man is a thin, middle-aged man with small eyes and a long beard, which makes his already pointed chin look even weirder, making him look like a mouse.

At this moment, his small eyes were filled with vigilance. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the door of the inn, his heart relaxed and he quickly approached the inn with emotion in his expression.

"The main city of Seven Blood Pupils is really wonderful, especially these inns that are open at night. They follow the rules and provide shelter. They are perfect, but they are too expensive."

"Eighty on the first day, one hundred and six on the second day, doubling every day... It seems that in a few days I will go to a small town to work again. It's a pity that the ordinary people in those small towns can only scream a little miserable. , I don’t have any savings.” The skinny middle-aged man muttered, only two feet away from the inn, and he was about to cross over.

But at this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew from behind him, and a cold voice reached his ears.

"Rat Taoist?"

The skinny middle-aged man's eyes shrank, and the hair all over his body exploded at this moment. Without any hesitation, he swung his right hand back violently, as if powder was scattered, and his body exploded in an instant, galloping forward.

But it was still too late. Almost as soon as he raised his right hand, a dagger appeared in front of his neck and cut him hard!

The next moment, blood spurted out. The skinny middle-aged man trembled all over, his limbs twitched, and he made a roaring sound in his mouth. However, he could not speak. He turned around and saw the expressionless Xu Qing behind him.

Those powders were of no use to Xu Qing.

"Taoist Rat, who was born in a Taoist religion, is good at confusing medicine, has a twisted mind, and likes to kill ordinary people for fun. He was wanted by Zitu half a year ago with a reward of fifteen spiritual stones, and announced to the entire Nanhuang Continent."

Xu Qing did not look at the unconscious Rat Taoist, but looked up at the inn next to him. The old man with a gloomy face was standing there, reading the contents of the wanted jade slip.

"Don't read it, I know he is a wanted criminal." The old man said gloomily.

Xu Qing remained silent, then cut off Taoist Rat's head, took away his leather bag, and kicked the corpse.

With a bang, the body fell at the door of the inn.

"He didn't enter the inn. I didn't break your rules. You don't need to pay for the body. It's just given to you."

With that said, Xu Qing took a few steps back until he reached a safe distance. He held Taoist Rat's head and left quickly.

"This month, there are still forty-five spiritual stones missing..."
