Xu Qing was not stingy with the spiritual stones needed for practice, but he lived a very frugal life.
Even if I had a big harvest, it was just three more eggs for breakfast.
Therefore, he naturally knows quite detailed information about the wanted criminals in the main city. Even if the wanted criminal slips are updated every period of time, he will keep them in mind carefully.
After all, no matter how few spiritual stones there are, they are still spiritual stones, and if you are lucky, you can get more items from the opponent's storage bag.
So at this moment, he recognized the identity of the corpse in front of him at a glance. He came from a pirate organization at sea and was worth fifteen spiritual stones.
Such a sum of spiritual stones is nothing to Xu Qing today, but it can be imagined that it is a great wealth to the mute young man.
Such wealth, the other party actually gave it to me directly...
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the mute boy left.
Naturally, he could tell that the other party was waiting for him here specifically for... It seemed that he was sending this wanted criminal.
"Is there a scam?" Xu Qing murmured, ignoring the wanted criminal at his feet, walking towards the distance, and soon the figure disappeared on the street.
After his figure disappeared, the body of the wanted criminal left on the ground attracted the attention of passers-by, and most of them avoided it. However, there were still some disciples whose eyes flashed after seeing the body, and after observing it, they were about to approach.
But the moment they approached, a figure as thin but agile as a wild dog rushed from an alley and went directly to the body.
He squatted there with a ferocious look in his eyes, as if guarding his food, and looked ferociously at those who were approaching.
His teeth seemed to have been ground, and they were different from normal people. He opened his mouth at this moment, and the jagged teeth exuded evil intent, causing the monks walking around to stop in their tracks.
After a confrontation, the surrounding disciples scanned the corpse for signs of being bitten alive, and chose to retreat one by one. Only the mute boy squatted beside the corpse in a daze, with a rare look of confusion and depression in his expression.
Time passed like this, and soon dusk fell, and the young man next to the body remained there. It was not until darkness fell that he silently picked up the body and dragged it into the alley, all the way back to his residence along the corner of the wall.
The place where he lives is not a dharma boat, but a simple hut.
The monthly fee here is much less than that of a berth. At this moment, he approached carefully, without going through the door. Instead, he went around and pushed open a blocked brick from the back wall, and got in.
In the hut, he breathed a sigh of relief and squatted silently in the corner in the darkness, so that his eyes could see the window and the door at the same time. After being in a daze for a while, he lowered his head and looked at the body of the wanted criminal beside him, his expression even more frustrated.
.
After a long moment of hesitation, he touched the wanted criminal's body.
It seemed that he had not checked the wanted criminal's leather bag before, but now he took it over, opened it and looked through it, his eyes filled with surprise, and he actually took out three spiritual stones.
He immediately held it, looked around cautiously, and then put the spirit stones away after making sure they were all right. He then carefully counted his accumulation, a total of seventy-seven yuan.
After counting, he squatted there, his expression became depressed again, and finally took out a rough stone, opened his mouth and began to grind his teeth to make them sharper.
But now that he only had the third level of Qi Condensation, he couldn't notice it at all. At this moment, Xu Qing was standing there outside his hut, coldly watching every move of the mute boy.
Xu Qing has a vigilant and cautious personality. Even if the opponent's cultivation level is not as good as his own, he is still wary.
As for what happened during the day, there were only two situations, one was really giving gifts to himself, and the other was for ulterior motives.
In this cruel and troubled world, anything can happen, so he will not ask for this gift, but will leave and hide, observing in secret to decide whether to take action.
"Is it because he was afraid of me when we met a few days ago, so he came to please me?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the young man in the house, opened the door, and walked in.
The moment he walked in, the young man in the corner immediately bared his teeth, and his whole body seemed to explode. But after seeing Xu Qing clearly, his body trembled violently, and the fear in his eyes was so intense that he did not dare to move.
"What did you see?" Xu Qing threw a jade slip, stood at the door, and spoke slowly.
The moonlight fell on him, casting his shadow into the house, very close to the little mute.
The little mute pressed his body tightly against the wall and took the jade slip.
The captain once asked about something that he refused to say, but at this moment, without any hesitation, he immediately imprinted what he wanted to say and handed it to Xu Qing cautiously.
Xu Qing took the jade slip, and after the spiritual energy poured in and swept through it, his expression changed in vain.
There was a cold light in his eyes, and after giving the little mute a meaningful look, he took out eight spiritual stones and threw them over, then turned and left.
Seventy-seven plus fifteen plus eight equals one hundred, which is the amount that can be exchanged for a magic boat.
Until they were far away, Xu Qing's right hand still held the jade slip tightly. As he returned to the berth, the moment he stepped into the Dharma boat, he pinched it hard with his right hand, and the jade slip turned into fly ash.
Then he walked into the cabin with an expressionless face, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to practice.
One night passed.
Early the next morning, Xu Qing went to Zhang San's place as usual and sent the crossbow he had obtained from the Vajra Sect. Under Zhang San's refining, the crossbow was placed on his dharma boat and became a
One of the trump cards second only to divinity.
"This thing is a treasure. Xu Qing, your magic boat, as long as you get a foundation-building power source, you can be promoted from a boat to a magic boat." Before Xu Qing left, Zhang San said with a smile, then glanced left and right, and whispered
Send out the words.
"Xu Qing, if you want to go to the big competition, it should be in the next few days. I'm going to do it. If you go too, we can join forces then."
"I will go." Xu Qing nodded.
Zhang San laughed and said nothing more.
Xu Qing clasped his fists and left. Walking at the port, he noticed that disciples of the Seventh Peak were buying items in the shops of each peak. The number of people was much larger than usual.
At the same time, more Dharma boats returned from the harbor than before, and he even saw several very unfamiliar faces on the way, but the fluctuations in the cultivation of any of them were at least at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Condensation.
There are even a few who have reached Dzogchen like him...
Apparently, most of these disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes either chose to practice in seclusion, or they had been wandering on the sea. Now they have rushed back after hearing about the competition.
As for the evil spirit on their bodies, Xu Qing could clearly feel the coldness coming from his bones at a glance.
At the same time, he also heard that the Lingbei tribe in the Xishan Islands seemed to be extremely anxious during this period. While constantly asking for help from other alien tribes, they also sent envoys to Qixuetong for peace talks many times.
This reminded Xu Qing of what the captain said and his own speculation.
"So, will the real target be the mermaid tribe?" Xu Qing murmured. That night, a familiar visitor came outside his boat.
"Xu Qing, Xu Qing, you didn't tell me when you came back. Didn't you treat me as a brother?" Huang Yan shouted loudly outside the boat, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
Xu Qing heard the noise outside, walked out of the cabin and saw Huang Yan, with a smile on his face.
He has met many people since his time in the Seven Blood Pupils, but there are only a few people among them who feel very real to him, and Huang Yan is one of them.
"I came back to deal with some trivial matters." Xu Qing explained.
Huang Yan didn't mind. He laughed and sat on the shore. Just like the last time he arrived, he didn't choose to board the ship. After sitting down now, he spoke in a low voice.
"Xu Qing, I learned a big secret today!"
Hearing the word "secret", Xu Qing felt a little wary. He thought of the captain's secret worth a hundred spiritual stones.
Before Xu Qing could speak, Huang Yan spoke quickly with some showoff.
"Do you feel that something is wrong with the Seventh Peak this time? Although the goals and destinations were announced in advance in previous years, I always feel that this time it is too deliberate. With the urine of the Seventh Peak... I think this time the competition is
The location must not be the Lingbei tribe. Based on my analysis and investigation, I concluded that the target this time is the mermaid tribe!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and after glancing at Huang Yan's expression, he didn't need to be reminded this time as he showed a surprised expression.
Seeing Xu Qing's expression, Huang Yan felt relieved and very proud.
"Haha, actually it's nothing. My senior sister told me all this. Now I talk to her about everything."
"I started investigating the information on Mermaid Island after I learned the news. When I found out that you were back, I came over and shared it with you. How about I be a brother?" Huang Yan said, throwing a jade slip to Xu Qing, and spoke again in a low voice.
"After investigating, I was particularly surprised. This mermaid tribe is too fat. Their tribe has four islands, namely Imeiki, Youzang Island, Kuling Island and Mia Island. Each island contains a large amount of
After my intelligence investigation of the treasures, I found that the most valuable ones and the ones that few people know about are all summarized on this jade slip."
Xu Qing caught the jade slip and began to examine it with spiritual energy flowing in. Huang Yan on the side seemed to have memorized it, shaking his head and speaking.
"I spent a lot of effort to get this. Let me tell you, there is an armor on Namia Island, called the Armor of Miah. It is hidden in the Miah volcano. It has been built by the mermaid tribe for thousands of years.
A magical weapon-level armor. This thing is too valuable, but it’s a pity that we can’t get it.”
"There are also a lot of mermaid tears on Imeiqi. This is comparable to a magic elixir, but compared to these, Imeiqi also has a drop of Imeiqi's tears, which is the most valuable thing. Imeiqi is the ancestor of the mermaid tribe.
His name, these tears were his last drops before his death, and they were set in the crown."
At this point, Huang Yan took out two eggs, threw one to Xu Qing, took one and popped it open, sucking on it and opening his mouth.
"As for Youzang Island, it is a cemetery with countless treasures buried there, but the most meaningful one is a feather. Do you know who that feather belongs to? It belongs to Yanhuang. Do you know who Yanhuang is? Then
But the king of the restricted area in the western part of the Truth Mountain Range of Nanhuang Continent is also the king of Nanhuang Continent. Why is it called Nanhuang Continent? You should know."
"Finally, there is Kuying Island. That island is also amazing. It is said that there are multiple pill vaults, and there should be a lot of foundation-building pills stored in them. Senior sister went there to rob them. I guess this time there will be fierce competition."
"These are nothing, there is a treasure on Guying Island worth half a million spiritual stones, called the Spiritual Breathing Lamp!"
"This spirit lamp is the mermaid tribe's foundation-building sacred object. It is placed in the foundation-building tower of the main city of Kuying Island."
"That is a special foundation building place for the mermaid monks. It is the same as the foundation building place where our Seven Blood Pupils use one hundred spiritual stones per hour. However, we heard that we rely on the divine blood to protect the disciples to build the foundation.
The mermaids rely on this lamp."
"This kind of magical weapon that protects disciples and builds their foundations is actually available in every major clan, with different types. However, this one from the mermaid clan actually has a mediocre effect, so those major clans don't like it either."
"The reason why it is said to be worth 500,000 spirit stones is because last time when senior sister went to snatch it away, she extorted 2 million spirit stones from the mermaid tribe. Later, the mermaid tribe bargained for 500,000 spirit stones and bought it back.
.
By the way, it is rumored that there are clues to some temple hidden in this spiritual breath lamp, but no one has found it for so many years. Senior sister couldn't find it at first, so she sold it back. The details are all in the jade slip. You can go back and find it yourself
Let’s see.”
When Xu Qing heard this, he was a little silent. He felt that he was still worried about tens of thousands of spirit stones, but the other party kept talking about millions of spirit stones.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable. After poking the egg and taking a sip, he still couldn't suppress the thoughts rising in his heart, which turned into a heartbeat.
After Huang Yan finished speaking, he started chatting about things between him and his senior sister.
He was basically talking and Xu Qing was listening the whole time. This kind of relationship was very strange, but Huang Yan felt very comfortable.
It was getting very late. After drinking the eggs, Huang Yan patted his stomach and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he burped and whispered.
"Xu Qing, I know you most likely won't, but I still want to remind you, don't be stupid and compete for the first place this time. The identity of the core disciple is not important. Resources are the key during the competition. You will do it when the time comes.
knew."
"Actually, few of us care about rankings. They all go there to get rich. Besides, I'm telling you, we are the only ones who know my news. I treat you as a brother. Don't spread the word. We will go there when the time comes."
Whichever island you choose, go and get whatever you want, and get a sum first!"
Xu Qing nodded.
Huang Yan patted his belly with satisfaction and left. As he walked, he took out the jade slip and gave his senior sister his daily sweet words.
Watching Huang Yan go away, Xu Qing sat on the boat and turned to look at the forbidden sea, his eyes falling in the distance.
At this moment, the waves came gently, causing the boat to rock slightly.
During this shaking, under the moonlight, his shadow fell on the ship beside him, and part of it spread into the sea, blending with the black water.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze from a distance and scanned the shadows. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and what he said in the jade slip given by the little mute came to his mind.
"It's sleeping..."
Time passed, and three days later in the early morning, the identity tokens of all Seventh Peak disciples in the Seven Blood Pupils all vibrated at the same time, and a majestic voice was heard inside them, reaching the minds of all disciples.
"All disciples participating in the competition will gather at the central altar and line up within a quarter of an hour. The Seventh Peak Competition will begin immediately!"
