Chapter 377 - 377 Purple Mystic Fairy
377 Purple Mystic Fairy
Xu Qing walked on the eighth bridge that led to the Seven Blood Eyes. Under the bridge was a river with dense immortal Qi flowing past.
The red glow on the bridge gradually faded.
Xu Qing looked at the slowly approaching night sky and the bright moon. He gradually retracted his gaze and walked back to the Seven Blood Eyes’ main city to visit Zhang San.
On the way back, he received Zhang San’s voice transmission, informing him that the magic ship had been built.
Xu Qing wasn’t used to living without a magic ship. Hence, even though night had fallen, he still went to look for Zhang San immediately.
In the courtyard of Zhang San’s Transportation Department, Xu Qing saw his magic ship.
The 6,000-foot-long ship was a shocking sight. It looked similar but also different from before. The difference was more reflected at the bow and stern.
The bow of the ship was no longer a sea lizard but a huge face with no facial features, like a black iron mask.
As for the stern part, it was obvious that the huge ship that the Seven Blood Eyes had set sail in had given Zhang San inspiration as he designed nine tails.
Although they were much smaller, each of the tails was filled with array formations and possessed different powers.
The eight sails were also increased to 16. Not only were there more, but they were also larger.
“Xu Qing, your magic ship has already reached the limit of the magic ship level. It’s basically a half-step magic warship.”
“All the techniques I researched were used on this. Not only does it have the ability to move underwater, but it can also be stored as a mask.” Zhang San stood on the magic ship. Although he looked tired, his tone was still arrogant.
Xu Qing solemnly cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Zhang San.
“Although the expenditure this time is incomparably huge, the profits from the Nanhuang Continent’s port are enough to support it.”
“Other than that, I also specially developed the power of self-destruction for it. To be honest with you, my focus was on how to increase its might after it self-destructs.”
“After my adjustments, your magic ship can withstand many self-destructions. There are a total of three layers of hull inside for you to self-destruct a few times.” As Zhang San spoke, he glanced at Xu Qing.
When Xu Qing heard this, he listened even more seriously.
“There’s quite a lot of divinity in it and it’s filled with a good power source. Once it’s fully activated, ordinary three-fire combat strength won’t be able to destroy it at all.”
“The only thing it lacks now is a soul, so I left the faceless mask bow.”
“As for souls, there’s already an introduction in the sect’s cultivation art. I know that you cultivate the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Art. I also cultivate it. Do you still remember the description in the cultivation art that when cultivated to the large success stage, it can suppress a wisp of the enemy’s soul in every magic aperture?”
“After reaching large success, when you suppress the enemy souls in all of your magic apertures, you can gather them together and transfer them into the magic ship, forming the soul and advancing it to a magic warship!”
Zhang San’s eyes gleamed intensely.
“This is the first ship I built that’s infinitely close to a magic warship. Xu Qing, when you detonate it later, remember to pick up some debris when you clean up the battlefield. Don’t just discard them. If you bring them back, I’ll be able to better understand my shortcomings.” Zhang San looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was also shocked by the magic ship Zhang San had made. When he heard this, he nodded heavily. He felt that what Zhang San said made sense, so he communicated with Zhang San about the details and bade farewell.
After watching Xu Qing leave, Zhang San yawned. Exhaustion surfaced on his face even more. During this period of time, in order to build Xu Qing’s magic ship, he didn’t rest much.
On one hand, it was because of their friendship. On the other hand, Zhang San’s heart was itching. He really hoped that the magic ship he built would reveal the sense of participation he had designed after Xu Qing detonated the ship.
“Last time, it was because my techniques weren’t mature enough. It won’t be the same this time.” Zhang San was smug. He smoked his pipe as he went back to rest.
Xu Qing left in satisfaction. He felt that Zhang San shouldn’t be in the Transportation Department. His skills had already reached a considerable level.
However, it was obvious that Zhang San was very satisfied with his current life. Although his cultivation progress was slow, Xu Qing could sense Zhang San’s satisfaction. It was as though to him, as long as Xu Qing and the captain became stronger and stronger, he would have nothing to worry about.
“If there’s a chance, I will repay you heavily!”
Xu Qing mumbled and went to the port.
He had already chosen a berth for himself during the early stages of the new city’s construction. After he put down the magic ship, Xu Qing stepped onto it with a sway of his body and activated the concealment before entering the cabin.
Looking at his surroundings, everything was no different from the magic ship from before.
Xu Qing sat down. As the boat swayed slightly, his heart slowly calmed down from the influence of the dream.
He meditated for a long time until late at night and ended the day’s cultivation. He checked the batch of little black bugs that had eaten the immortal jelly and discovered that they were still sleeping. He then began to study the spell and arts Old Master Seventh had taught him.
Xu Qing was very serious and hardworking when it came to cultivation.
Just like that, time flowed by and very soon, three days passed.
During these three days, Xu Qing didn’t leave the magic ship or go to the Special Security Department. He was completely immersed in his cultivation and research of cultivation techniques. His 102nd magic aperture also began to loosen.
On the third night, Xu Qing, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes. He helplessly stood up and walked out of the cabin, looking out of the ship in the night.
The captain was squatting there and throwing an apple at Xu Qing’s magic ship.
Because of the protective barrier and the captain’s strange power, the apple didn’t shatter when it came into contact with the protective barrier but bounced back.
After it landed in his hand, he took a bite and threw it out again, looking very amused. After noticing Xu Qing walking out, the captain waved his hand.
“Little Qing, are you busy tonight?”
Xu Qing glanced at the half-eaten apple in the captain’s hand and nodded.
“Yes.”
“It’s good that you’re free. Come with me to do a small thing. I’ve been short of money recently and plan to sell that Idiot Huang’s finger to him. We’ve already discussed it and he is going to get money. The transaction will be tonight,” the captain said in a low voice.
“Come with me. I accompanied you when you returned to your hometown some time ago.” The captain coughed.
Xu Qing walked out of the magic ship and asked after reaching the shore.
“Where are you going to do the transaction?”
“At the base of the Mystic Nether Sect’s mountain.” When the captain saw that Xu Qing had agreed, he stood up happily and gave Xu Qing an apple. He then put his arm around Xu Qing’s shoulder and spoke mysteriously.
“Little Qing, you are really my good brother. When Old Third heard my words, he instantly ran away. Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Brother dotes on you. I’ve been thinking about a big plan recently. When the time comes, we’ll go together.”
“Aren’t you afraid that this is a trap?” Xu Qing asked.
The captain’s eyes revealed excitement as he whispered.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Besides, since you are coming with me, if something really happens, the old man will definitely come. If it’s just me, he probably won’t be bothered.” The captain blinked.
Xu Qing cast a deep glance at the captain and nodded.
Very soon, the two of them took advantage of the darkness and left the port, heading straight for the city area of the Mystic Nether Sect. They moved very fast. At midnight, they arrived at the base of the mountain where the captain and Huang Yikun had agreed to meet.
There was a pavilion there and not far away was the Mystic Nether Sect’s mountain.
In the darkness, the mountain of the Mystic Nether Sect seemed to tower into the clouds. Although there were lights here and there, it was still pitch-black overall. There was a statue at the top of the mountain. Against the backdrop of the moon, the outline of the statue was very clear.
It was a statue of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether. It stood on the mountain peak and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Sea.
Even though there was some distance, Xu Qing could still sense the terrifying pressure emitted by the statue. Clearly, this item was extraordinary.
The entire Mystic Nether Sect’s mountain gave Xu Qing a feeling of mystery.
After all, the Seventh Peak was a branch of the Mystic Nether Sect back then. Their cultivation arts had common points. The current Alliance Leader was also from the Mystic Nether Sect and was the senior brother of this generation’s Mystic Nether Sect’s ancestor.
As for the ancestor of this generation, Xu Qing had taken a look at them from afar in the Seven Blood Eyes back then. However, they were covered up and he couldn’t see their appearance clearly.
The captain squatted at the side and spoke in a low voice.
“Calculating the time, Idiot Huang should be here soon.”
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and waited with the captain.
Time slowly passed. Fifteen minutes passed, but Huang Yikun was still nowhere in sight. The captain frowned. When he took out a jade slip and transmitted his voice to ask, they didn’t notice that a figure was moving over in the sky from outside the Alliance.
This figure was extremely fast and silently walked into the Alliance’s array formation. With a step, they arrived outside the Mystic Nether Sect’s mountain. Just as they were about to step on the mountain, they seemed to have noticed Xu Qing and the captain. This figure paused in the sky and lowered their head to look over.
After this pause, their appearance was revealed.
She was an extremely gorgeous woman.
Her long black hair was draped behind her back and was gently held by a pink ribbon. She wore a purple starry dress that shone brightly. There was fog around her that made her look like a fairy from the heavens.
This woman had a pale-white oval face and a lithe waist. Her two curved brows seemed to be knitted but weren’t. Her eyes seemed to be filled with joy but weren’t. At first glance, she looked like a young girl, but upon closer inspection, her eyes held extreme depth.
It was as though there was nothing in this world that she didn’t know. It was as though with a single action of yours, she would know your intentions. She had experienced all your experiences and the life you never had.
At that moment, her gaze landed at the base of the mountain and on Xu Qing. She chuckled and walked over.
One step in the air and she reached the base of the mountain. As she arrived, an indescribably vast pressure spread out from her body, causing the expressions of Xu Qing and the captain to change drastically. Just as they were about to retreat, a soft voice appeared.
“Don’t move.”
It was just a sentence but it was like a law. The captain’s body trembled and he recognized that the other party was the ancestor of the Mystic Nether Sect, her Daoist name was Purple Mystic Fairy.
Xu Qing didn’t know her identity but his mind trembled violently and he couldn’t move his body at all. He could only watch as the gorgeous woman ignored the captain and approached him.
That delicate face revealed soul-stirring and mature beauty. The lines of the Dao mark in her eyes flowed out one after another, revealing the meaning of a hunter seeing prey.
Amidst Xu Qing’s extreme nervousness, the woman’s gaze landed on Xu Qing’s eyes and slowly slid down to his mouth, collarbone, chest, and abdomen.
Her gaze was like silk, elegant and slow.
Finally, she lifted Xu Qing’s chin and breathed.
“Little kid, we meet again. You came to the Mystic Nether Sect so late at night. Are you lost?”
