Outside of Time

Xu Qing was not stingy with the spiritual stones needed for cultivation, but he lived frugally.

Even if he had made a big harvest, he only ate three more eggs for breakfast.

Therefore, he knew the wanted criminals in the main city in great detail. Even if the wanted criminal jade slips were updated every once in a while, he would carefully remember them in his mind.

After all, no matter how few spiritual stones there were, they were still spiritual stones. Moreover, if he was lucky, he could get more items from the other party's storage bag.

So at this moment, he recognized the identity of the corpse in front of him at a glance. The other party came from a pirate organization on the sea and was worth fifteen spiritual stones.

Such a sum of spiritual stones was nothing to Xu Qing now, but it can be imagined that it was a great fortune for the dumb boy.

Such a fortune, the other party actually gave it to him directly...

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the dumb boy left.

He could naturally see that the other party was waiting for him here specifically for... it seemed that he was sending this wanted criminal here.

"Is it a trick?" Xu Qing muttered, ignoring the wanted criminal under his feet, and walked away. Soon his figure disappeared on the street.

After his figure went away, the body of the wanted criminal left on the ground attracted the attention of the pedestrians around him. Most of them avoided it, but there were still some disciples who saw the body with flashing eyes and were about to approach after observing it.

But just as they approached, a thin but agile figure like a wild dog rushed from the alley and came directly to the body.

He squatted there, with a ferocious look in his eyes, as if protecting food, and looked fiercely at the people who were approaching.

His teeth seemed to have been ground, unlike normal people. At this moment, he opened his mouth, and his jagged teeth exuded a murderous intent, causing the monks who were walking around to stop.

After a confrontation, the disciples around him scanned the marks of being bitten to death on the body, and chose to retreat one by one. Only the dumb boy squatted beside the body in a daze, with some rare confusion and frustration in his expression.

Time passed like this, and soon dusk fell. The boy next to the corpse stayed there until the night fell. He silently grabbed the corpse and dragged it into the alley, and returned to his residence along the corner of the wall.

The place where he lived was not the Dharma Boat, but a simple hut.

The monthly fee here was much less than the berth. At this moment, he approached carefully, did not go through the door, but went around and pushed open a brick and stone blocking the back wall, and got in.

In the hut, he breathed a sigh of relief, squatted silently in the corner in the dark, so that his eyes could see the window and the door at the same time. After being in a daze for a long time, he looked down at the body of the wanted criminal next to him, and his frustration became stronger.

After a long time, he hesitated and touched the wanted criminal's body.

It seemed that he had not checked the leather bag of the wanted criminal before, but now he took it over, opened it and looked through it, and his eyes showed surprise. He actually took out three spiritual stones.

He immediately held it, looked around vigilantly, and put away the spirit stone after confirming that there was no problem. He carefully counted his own accumulation, a total of seventy-seven pieces.

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 he was only at the third level of Qi Condensation, so he couldn't detect it at all. At this moment, Xu Qing was standing outside his hut, coldly watching the dumb boy's every move.

Xu Qing was vigilant and cautious. Even if the other party's cultivation was not as good as his, he was still on guard.

In his opinion, there were only two situations for what happened during the day. One was really giving him a gift, and the other was for ulterior motives.

In this cruel and chaotic world, anything could happen, so he would not take this gift, but hide after leaving, secretly observe and decide whether to take action.

"Is it because of the fear he had of me when we met a few days ago, so he came to please me?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the boy in the house, opened the door, and walked in.

The moment he walked in, the young man in the corner bared his teeth and seemed to be about to explode. But after seeing Xu Qing clearly, his body trembled violently, and the fear in his eyes was so strong that he dared not 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.

This captain had asked something that he would never say even if he died, but at this moment he did not hesitate at all, and immediately imprinted what he wanted to say in it, and handed it to Xu Qing in a reserved manner.

Xu Qing took the jade slip, and his face changed suddenly after the spiritual energy flowed in and swept over it.

He had a cold light in his eyes, looked at the little mute meaningfully, took out eight spirit stones and threw them over, and turned away.

Seventy-seven plus fifteen plus eight equals one hundred, which is the amount that can be exchanged for a magic boat.

Even as he walked away, Xu Qing's right hand still tightly grasped the jade slip. As he returned to the berth, he squeezed the jade slip with his right hand and it turned into ashes the moment he stepped into the Dharma Boat.

Then he walked into the cabin expressionlessly, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

One night passed.

The next morning, Xu Qing went to Zhang San as usual and sent him the array crossbow he had obtained from the Vajra Sect. Under Zhang San's refining, the array crossbow was placed on his Dharma Boat and became one of the killers second only to divinity.

"This thing is a treasure. Xu Qing, your Dharma Zhou, as long as you get a foundation-building power source, you can be promoted from a boat to a Dharma boat." Before Xu Qing left, Zhang San said with a smile, then glanced left and right, and whispered Send out the words.

"Xu Qing, do you want to go to the big competition? It should be in the next few days. I am 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 the 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 just 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 aura 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 during this period seemed extremely anxious. 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 consider me, Huang Yan, as your 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, 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 too... 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 showed a surprised expression without needing to be reminded this time.

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 my investigation, I was particularly surprised. This mermaid tribe is too fat. Their tribe has four islands, namely Imeiqi, Youzang Island, Kuling Island and Mia Island. Each island contains a large amount of After my intelligence investigation, I have summarized the treasures that are most valuable and that few people know about on this jade slip.”

Xu Qing caught the jade slip and began to look at 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 were embedded 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? But the king of the restricted area in the western part of Nanhuang Continent’s Truth Mountain Range is also the king of Nanhuang Continent. You should know why it’s called Nanhuang Continent.”

"Finally, there is Kuying Island. That island is also amazing. It is said that there are multiple pill warehouses, and there should be a lot of foundation-building pills stored in them. Senior sister went there to grab them. I guess this time there will be a fierce competition."

"These are nothing, there is a treasure on Guying Island worth half a million spiritual stones, called the Spiritual Breathing Lamp!"

"This spiritual breath lamp is the foundation-building sacred object of the mermaid tribe. 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 mermaid clan relies on this lamp.”

"This kind of magical weapon that protects disciples and builds their foundations is actually found 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 look back and find out for yourself Take a look. "

Xu Qing was a little silent when he heard this. 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 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. Also, let me tell you, we are the only ones who know my news. I treat you as a brother. Please don't spread the word. We will go there when the time comes. Whichever island you want, just go get it and make a fortune 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's plank 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 in the early morning three days later, 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 hearts 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!"
