"This thing..."
Xu Qing's eyes flashed with intense light, and the image of the intact corpse before the amethyst was taken away by him appeared in his mind.
"Can the corpse be left intact, and the injuries of the living be healed quickly?"
Xu Qing grabbed the purple crystal in his hand and looked around quickly with his heart beating fast.
Although he knew that there should be no other living people here, he still instinctively became wary because he had obtained the treasure.
At this moment, he no longer stopped, but galloped at full speed, heading straight for the cave where he was hiding.
On the way, he faintly discovered that not only did his injuries heal quickly, but his physical fatigue seemed to be reduced a lot.
In the past, he would need to slow down after running like this for about half an hour, but now that half an hour had passed, he felt warm all over his body and seemed to still have plenty of energy.
He even caught a fallen bird on his way back.
Instead of killing them, they stun them because living creatures can be preserved longer.
Even after doing this, the time for him to return to the cave was still shortened a lot. When it was still dark, he could already see his cave in the distance.
Xu Qing's mood improved as never before, but he was not careless.
Because he knew that perhaps because the gods opened their eyes and the restricted area was first formed, in this area at night, in addition to the awakening of strange beasts, there would also be some strange beings appearing.
He had heard people say it in the slums, and he knew that in the world, many places where death was common would produce this kind of weirdness.
For example, the laughter coming from outside at night is caused by this type of existence.
As for this kind of alien, it is generally accepted that we should not look at it, do not touch it, and do not encounter it.
Although he had experienced before that those entities appeared at night, Xu Qing was not sure whether they would occasionally appear during the day.
So his speed did not slow down at all, and he quickly approached the cave. After diving in, he blocked the cracks in the cave.
Then he sat down cross-legged and opened his clenched palms.
Purple light spread out from his palm, reflecting the small hole in the ground. Under the light, Xu Qing's face and eyes were also rendered purple.
He stared intently at the purple crystal in his palm.
This crystal was long in shape, about the same size as his finger, and there seemed to be some flocculent matter inside it, and the purple light was emitted from those flocculent matter.
"Healing the wound..." Xu Qing observed for a long time, took off his clothes and looked at the scar on his chest, and found that the wound was 90% healed.
Now, it seems that the remaining part will be completely healed in a short time, and even the surrounding scars are dissipating.
Thinking back to the fact that he was much less tired than before when he ran all the way back, Xu Qing had already made an initial judgment about the purple crystal.
The function of this thing is obviously to restore.
Recover injuries, recover physical strength, and regain vitality!
"I wonder if it has other effects." Xu Qing murmured, thinking in his eyes.
He didn't know if the purple crystal was related to the opening of the gods' eyes, but it was most likely so.
But no matter what, this is a treasure. At least since Xu Qing was a child, he has never heard of any item that can have such amazing recovery power.
Keeping such items by your side will help you, which is like a second life.
But Xu Qing knew very well that the reason why he could possess this thing now was because there was no other living person except himself in the city.
And once the bloody rain ends, after he walks out...he may not be able to protect such a treasure.
So the only way is to hide this purple crystal...
Xu Qing pondered for a long time, looked at the unconscious bird that he had captured, and raised his hand to take it out.
After pinching the beak to prevent it from making any sound, he took out the dagger on his calf and made a direct wound on the bird's body.
While the bird was struggling, Xu Qing stuffed the purple crystal inside.
Then pay close attention without blinking.
I saw that the bird was still struggling at first, but soon there was an undercurrent surging around it. The spiritual energy seemed to be attracted, and it was even much more than the spiritual energy that emerged during Xu Qing's practice. He went straight to the bird
in vivo.
The strength of the bird's struggle was suddenly much stronger than before. Compared with Xu Qing's strength, it seemed that he could not catch it.
This scene made Xu Qing's eyes shine brightly.
In the past, the bird's neck could be crushed with just one handful, but now he squeezed it hard several times before breaking it.
He quickly took out the purple crystal from his body, wiped it, and closed his eyes to think.
"The bird is not dead, but there is an influx of spiritual energy, and the bird's strength suddenly becomes extremely strong...it should be fine."
After a moment, Xu Qing opened his eyes, with determination in his eyes, and directly stuffed the purple crystal into the wound on his chest that was about to be completely healed.
The insertion process was a little painful, but Xu Qing gritted his teeth and endured it.
There is no safer place than hiding inside your own body.
And he also simply verified that if this product is placed in the body, it seems to have better effects.
As the purple crystal blended in, and as the injury on his chest healed, before Xu Qing could take a closer look, a roar came from his body.
A more majestic spiritual energy than what the birds had attracted before came roaring toward him from all directions, penetrating the soil.
This spiritual power was so amazing that Xu Qing's body instantly turned light blue, and an indescribable coldness filled his whole body.
This is caused by too much heterogeneity within the psychic energy.
But Xu Qing had already prepared, and immediately started using the Haishan Jue without any hesitation.
As it circulated, the spiritual energy pouring into his body was suddenly separated into a large number of heterogeneous elements.
The remaining pure spiritual energy flowed throughout his body along his meridians, causing Xu Qing's body to make a banging sound at this moment.
It was as if some blockages in the body were instantly opened, and the flesh and blood were nourished and refined at this moment.
The mandrill picture he had visualized in his mind seemed to come alive at this moment, assuming various postures on its own.
Although Haishan Jue is a cultivation method, it is not a cultivation method, but a type of body training.
It is divided into ten levels, corresponding to the ten levels of Qi Condensation Realm.
There is a clear introduction to it on the bamboo slips. Each level allows the practitioner to increase the power of one tiger, and five tigers are a mandrill, and two mandrills are a leader.
It is said that Mandrill can move mountains and Kui can move seas, so it was named Haishanjue.
At this moment, the purple crystal buried in his chest was like a whirlpool, constantly sucking in and out, and the spiritual energy came like an initiation.
Xu Qing's cultivation speed also increased dramatically.
I don't know how much time passed, but the pounding sound in his body suddenly became strong, and a large amount of impurities in his body flowed out from the sweat pores all over his body.
A fishy smell also filled the cave.
As the impurities flowed out, Xu Qing's body became much more crystal clear, and his face covered by dirt became more and more delicate at this moment.
Until half a moment passed, as the sound and the influx of spiritual energy in his body gradually disappeared, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened.
There was a flash of purple light in his eyes.
After returning to normal, Xu Qing looked stunned for a moment.
The pitch-black cave suddenly became clearer in his eyes. He quickly lowered his head to check himself, his expression gradually showing disbelief.
"This feeling……"
Xu Qing looked a little excited, stood up and punched, causing a sharp sound.
Because the cave was very small, he couldn't try his speed, but the feeling of lifting his legs and punching made him know that he had made amazing improvements in all aspects compared to before.
Then he immediately rolled up the sleeve on his left arm.
When he saw a black spot the size of a fingernail appeared on his forearm, Xu Qing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"It turns out that this is the first level of Qi Condensation!"
According to the description on the bamboo slip, this black spot is the alienation point. The alienation point of Haishan Jue is on the left arm, and one is added at each level.
Touching the alienation spot on his arm, Xu Qing was more excited about his apparent strength at the moment, so he raised his head and looked at the entrance of the gap, thinking in his heart to wait until dawn to test his speed.
But soon Xu Qing looked suspicious, approached the entrance of the gap, and listened carefully.
The outside world was still dark, but there was not a single unusual sound.
This was something he had never encountered in the many days he had been here.
In the past, even after dawn, there were no strange beasts and strange sounds, but the sound of rain was always present.
But now the sound of rain has disappeared.
"Could it be..."
Xu Qing's mind was shaken, and a guess emerged in his mind.
Waiting silently, until a dazzling light shone through the crack at the entrance of the cave and reflected in Xu Qing's dark eyes, seeming to light up his world.
The moment Xu Qing saw the light, his body trembled obviously.
He raised his hand, slowly approached the ray of sunshine, put it into it, and held it in his palm. The long-lost warmth slowly awakened his sleeping soul.
"Sunlight……"
After a while, Xu Qing's eyes showed a bright look, he pushed aside the debris blocking the gap, and as more beams of light embraced him, he slowly got out.
The moment he leaned out of the exit, he raised his head and saw no longer dense and dark clouds, but a bright and brilliant sun.
As if the old man in the morning light has regained his vitality after being seriously ill for many days, slowly kicking off the show, bringing freshness to the world again.
"The rain has stopped."
Xu Qing took a deep breath of the air filled with sunshine and silently looked at the city covered by the morning glow.
Everything in the city seemed to have a different brilliance under the dazzling red sun.
The bright red morning glow on the horizon shines down from the gaps in the clouds, like countless whales spewing golden waterfalls, washing away the haze and fog in the city bit by bit, revealing the mottled scars.
The collapsed houses, the blue-black corpses, and the shocking blood-colored puddles everywhere seemed to remind Xu Qing of the catastrophe that had occurred here.
There was a hint of complexity in Xu Qing's eyes. He had lived in the slums outside the city for six years, and he had also watched this city for the same six years.
Although he doesn't come in often, this is the place he has longed to live most in the past six years.
"I gained the skills to practice here."
"I got the purple crystal here."
"I'm here...survived." Xu Qing murmured, silent.
After a long while, he sighed softly, walked to a green-black corpse, looked down at it for a long time, picked it up on his back, and walked forward.
After walking all the way to a nearby square, he put the body down, then turned around and carried the second, third, and fourth bodies on his back...
Some bodies were scattered on the streets, and some were buried under the rubble.
Until he carried all the corpses in the nearby area to the back of the square, the corpses here were piled up like a mountain, some complete and some incomplete.
Xu Qing stood there and set a fire. Perhaps due to the abnormality, the flames burned stronger and stronger, and thick smoke rose...
Xu Qing looked at the thick smoke for a long time, then silently walked away to the second area. Soon, another thick smoke rose, more and more... more and more...
Just like this, on the first day when the sun shone into this ruined city, in addition to the light, there was also thick black smoke from the cremation of corpses in the city.
The black smoke rose into the sky one after another, covering the sun. At this moment, the morning light was also full of powerlessness and turned dim, as if it was hiding a deep sigh.
It seems that the thick smoke has become its tears. And the reflections formed on the ground seem to have turned into tears on the earth.
The last tear stain is where Xu Qing discovered the purple light.
There, Xu Qing put down the body of the old man in the medicine shop. As the flames burned in the pile of corpses, heat waves hit his face. He stood silently by the fire, and the billowing flames reflected in his dark pupils, shaking constantly.
The withered long hair also bent due to the heat wave. After a while, Xu Qing's body also bent and bowed his head.
"RIP..."
At this moment, the flames burned suddenly and violently, becoming more and more intense, emitting countless dandelion-like flames that scattered in the wind.
But the thick smoke rising into the sky still carries the unwillingness and regret of the deceased that cannot be melted away, and the wind cannot blow it away.
Rising higher and higher, like a few scars on the sky.
Insignificant and full of helplessness.
…
After a long time, along with the sound of chaotic footsteps, a strange voice suddenly came from far behind the young man.
"I asked why I didn't see any corpses along the way. It turned out that there was such a stupid boy who, at the expense of his own strength, actually moved the corpse here to be cremated."
"Well, since you are so nostalgic, I will help you and throw you in to accompany them."
Xu Qing turned around suddenly.
