844 Time Stands Still (3)
“Once the living beings in the Moon Worship Region understand their fate, acts of cruelty and brutality become instinctive behaviors for everyone.”
“Do you believe that if you continue like this, in less than two months, you’ll be placed in the sacred cities of the Mirror Image and Heavenly Mask races, and they will savor you bit by bit?”
The old man immediately reprimanded him.
Xu Qing calmly took a few steps back and spoke.
“What are you trying to say?”
“What am I trying to say? Kid, why did you throw away the box I gave you? Do you know that the state preceptor of the Mirror Image Race has a special ability that can see through most concealment? Only my box can block his perception because it has my enhancement.”
“I sold it to you out of goodwill but not only did you throw it away, you even put poison in it!”
“Take it out, the antidote!”
The old man finally got to the main point.
Xu Qing was expressionless. He didn’t want to delay the other party here. Hence, he took out a pill bottle and threw it over.
“My poison is a compound poison. The antidote must be taken continuously for seven days. Swallow three pills at the first appearance of the morning sun each day, and cultivate in place for seven complete rotations of qi circulation.”
“And since there is no sun in this place, you’ll have to estimate the time yourself, and as for the quantity, you should also double it.”
“You can’t stop during this period.”
As Xu Qing spoke, he threw out another pill bottle.
“The poison has already acted up. You can’t waste time. Otherwise, if you can’t detoxify the poison, don’t blame me.”
As Xu Qing spoke, he was prepared for the other party to attack and retreated immediately.
The old man caught the pill bottle and was about to speak when a sensation of being locked onto this location came from afar. His expression changed, and he glared fiercely at Xu Qing. He turned around as if about to leave, but ultimately heaved a sigh, tossing a box to Xu Qing.
“I hope what you said about the antidote is true. Take this and you can hide the aura.”
With that, the old man quickly left.
Xu Qing fell silent. He then took the box and left as well.
After analyzing the other party’s words on the way, determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He put the fire crystals in this box and sent it to D132, using the aura of the god’s finger to suppress it.
After that, he took it out and scanned it with the Poison Restriction. Finally, he released the Purple Moon Nascent Soul to cleanse it.
Only then did he speed up.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five days, Xu Qing didn’t encounter the Mirror Image Race members who seemed to know his location. Even if he occasionally encountered this race, the other party would only pass by in a hurry and ignore him.
“Could it be that what that old man said is true?”
Xu Qing hesitated. The antidote he gave the other party was fake.
There were no medicinal pills that could neutralize the poison of the Poison Restriction. The only way was for him to personally withdraw it.
Xu Qing thought about it. He still had some doubts about this matter, so he didn’t pay attention to it. Instead, he found a place and continued to refine his third life lantern.
This was the Nether Spirit Blood Wing Lantern’s left wing.
“The life lanterns of the others are all the same. Only this Nether Spirit Blood Wing is divided into left and right…”
Xu Qing stared at his third life lantern and some guesses rose in his heart. After that, he began to refine it.
Seventeen days later, in the western part of the sea of fire, on the vast magma, a ten thousand-foot-long vortex appeared again.
This time, there were no heavenly fire crystals being swept out, and because the fluctuations here were remote, they didn’t attract much attention.
Several hours later, when the ten-thousand-foot-long vortex disappeared, Xu Qing was already speeding in the distance.
His expression was filled with fatigue. His body’s tolerance for the heavenly fire had reached its limit. He needed to go back and recuperate before he could continue.
However, the excitement in his eyes didn’t decrease because of fatigue. Instead, it increased.
“Three Sundials!”
The third life lantern in Xu Qing’s body had already been replaced by a similar Sundial. The enhancement from the same source was even more powerful now, causing Xu Qing’s speed to increase by about 70%.
Now that he was moving at full speed, ordinary cultivators couldn’t see him clearly with their naked eyes. They could only see afterimages.
“I wonder what will happen after all five of them are refined.”
Anticipation rose in Xu Qing’s eyes. He had a faint feeling that after he refined all five life lanterns and the Sundial life lanterns formed by his bloodline completely became a set, there might be an even more profound change.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing took a deep breath and sped forward.
Several days later, Xu Qing, who was speeding, suddenly stopped in his tracks and stopped above the sea of fire. He looked into the distance and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Wherever his gaze landed, there was a faint rumbling sound echoing as the power of a spell spread out. The sea of fire seemed to be drawn over and slowly gathered there, as though it was refining something.
What attracted Xu Qing’s attention was that he could sense his Poison Restriction in that direction.
Previously, when he first encountered that old man, although the other party was poisoned, it was obvious that he hadn’t been tainted much. In addition, with the isolation of the mirror gloves, his aura wasn’t very obvious.
However, after so long, the power of the Poison Restriction was already dense and couldn’t be completely isolated. Hence, Xu Qing sensed it.
“It’s already so intense…”
Xu Qing knew how terrifying his Poison Restriction was. Hence, after some thought, the other party didn’t seem to be lying to him.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Xu Qing’s body swayed as he moved closer to that area.
He was prepared to see how that old man was now before weighing whether he should retract the poison.
As he got closer, Xu Qing’s expression turned solemn. He didn’t hesitate at all and hid in the magma.
He saw many cultivators from the Mirror Cloud Race. There were dozens of them. Although there were many Golden Cores among them, there were also eight to nine Nascent Soul cultivators. Their cultivation levels ranged from one tribulation to three tribulations.
What made Xu Qing even more vigilant was that he had seen an array formation here.
