Outside of Time

When Xu Qing thought about it, he suddenly felt that he was justified. After all, this was what his master had taught him, and the master could not be wrong.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his heart quickly became extremely calm, and his eyes became clear and crystal clear.

He faced the vast will emanating from the mirror with a clear conscience.

Peace of mind.

The mirror shimmered in front of him, and some cursed power vaguely seeped out of the mirror, as if it was being expelled.

Xu Qing glanced at it, still calm.

Soon, after the curses were discharged, the mirror's light dimmed a bit, but the will within it still spread out, informing Xu Qing of the second assessment content.

"Belief."

Xu Qing murmured that he knew the content of this second item from his previous exploration of the Niyue Palace assessment.

This second test of faith is almost 90% not a big problem for the monks from the Moon Sacrifice Region. The main screening is for those who have mixed in with the Red Moon Temple.

As long as one believes in the red moon and contains the blessing of the red moon, it is impossible to pass this level.

Xu Qing sighed.

He knew very well that if he could pass the first test with his own method, it would mean that the second test would be ridiculously difficult.

"This means that Niyue Palace cannot distinguish between the purple moon and the red moon..."

This is understandable. After all, whether the purple moon or the red moon, they are all the same power of authority, but they belong to different places. But for Xu Qing, this is a very troublesome paradox.

He obviously has no faith in the Red Moon Red Mother, but the power of the Purple Moon in his body will definitely be regarded as the cultivator of the Red Moon, and it is not impossible to even mistake him for the Son of God.

"You have to find another way to pass this test."

Xu Qing did not dare to try easily, but he did not give up. During the exploration in the past few days, he recalled his master's behavior many times, and he already had some methods in mind, but he still needed careful analysis.

In this way, time passes day by day.

Shadow still went out to hunt for Xu Qing occasionally, and the ancestor of the King Kong Sect worked equally hard, hanging on the beam and staring at every customer who entered the store.

And the grass seedlings are getting stronger and stronger, swaying every day, as if they are dancing.

As for Ling'er, her mood is getting better day by day because she has more time to keep accounts.

As their small drug store has been open for a long time, it gradually gained a reputation through the repeated sales of white pills, so the number of customers who came to buy pills naturally increased.

This made the ancestor of the King Kong Sect even more vigilant, but he had nothing to use for it. Most of the monks who came to buy elixirs were Qi Condensers and rarely built foundations.

After all, elixirs such as Baidan have the greatest demand for Qi condensation. Although there are high-level monks in the small town, many of them are casual cultivators who live alone in the Kusheng Mountains and occasionally come to purchase.

For the demand for white pills, they have other channels to obtain it, and they look down on this ordinary small drug store.

As for the forces, there is some chaos in the Kusheng Mountains. There are many large and small forces, all of which exist in the form of races or small gangs. The low-level monks and residents of small towns within these forces are the main sources of buyers for small medicine shops.

For example, at this moment, a human boy walked into the drug store.

This young man was wearing a loose robe and looked like he was at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. He came from a medium-sized force nearby. A friend came here to buy pills, so he chose to buy them here after learning about it.

The moment he walked into the drug store, he scanned the surroundings vigilantly. The first thing he saw was the ugly girl keeping her head down behind the counter. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly walked to the counter.

"I want ten white pills!"

The young man spoke in a low voice, took out ten spirit coins and placed them on the counter.

Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked up the spirit coins. After carefully inspecting each one, she put them away with satisfaction, took out a pocket and handed them over.

"Come again next time." Ling'er said with a smile.

The young man took the bag, opened it and looked carefully, and found that the white elixir here was indeed, as his friend said, different from other places, without any impurities.

So he took out one and swallowed it. When he opened his eyes more than ten breaths later, he was sweating all over and looked a little moved.

"The medicine is so effective?" The young man was surprised and took a few steps back. When he was about to leave, he hesitated and turned to look at Ling'er.

Ling'er looked over with a smile.

"Sir, do you have anything else to do?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, then his attitude became more respectful due to the efficacy of Bai Dan, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Do you have any antidote pills here?"

"Every time I practice recently, I can't help but vomit smelly black blood, and there will be a dull pain in my heart. Sometimes my meditation will be interrupted by a sudden stabbing pain."

"I suspect I was poisoned."

Ling'er glanced over, and just as he was about to speak, the young man spoke quickly.

"I still have a spiritual stone!"

Ling'er blinked and turned to look at the back room.

"Brother, we have a big guest!"

In the back room, Xu Qing opened his eyes. He couldn't laugh or cry at Ling'er's naughtiness. He knew that Ling'er was moved by his compassion, so he got up and walked out.

The moment he saw Xu Qing, the young man instinctively retreated, his expression full of vigilance.

He felt that the young man in front of him was a little trembling, but he couldn't explain the reason for the fear. There was no fluctuation in his cultivation level, and he looked just like an ordinary person.

But being able to open a shop here, and the quality of the elixir is so amazing, the possibility of it being ordinary is almost zero.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the young man's vigilance. He just glanced around and saw the problem with the young man.

The other party was indeed poisoned, and this poison...Xu Qing had encountered it before.

It was the one-eyed monk's poison, but it had been diluted a lot and had not yet been detonated.

But because the boy was weak, he responded early.

Xu Qing always kept the one-eyed monk's escape in mind. Now that he was aware of the poison, he also became somewhat interested, so he raised his hand and threw out an antidote pill.

"Go back and prepare a wooden barrel with water and nine drops of morning dew. Then swallow this detoxification pill and let it sink in for an hour."

"When the color of the water is completely dark, your poison will be cured."

The young man took the elixir, hesitantly, but still gave Ling'er a spirit stone, turned around and left quickly.

Ling'er put away the spirit stone and smiled sweetly at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing shook his head and returned to the back room to continue dissecting the cursed beast. While studying the curse, he was also analyzing ways to enter the Moon-Reverse Palace.

However, a ray of his spiritual consciousness has been left on the young man and has not occurred. However, as long as the one-eyed monk appears next to him, Xu Qing can sense it instantly.

In this way, half a month passed in Xu Qing's exploration and research.

Xu Qing and Ling'er's small drugstore has been open here for almost two months. The efficacy of Baidan and its low price have made Qinglingtang somewhat famous.

then

The number of customers coming to buy elixirs has increased more and more, and occasionally there will even be dozens of people arriving one day, which has attracted the attention of many people in the small town, and also attracted the attention of some small forces nearby.

Sometimes, the trees want to be quiet but the wind disturbs them. Once something becomes famous, trouble will follow.

This principle holds true everywhere.

This is especially true in this chaotic place with mixed forces. At noon that day, an uninvited guest came to the medicine shop.

This is a foreign monk who has perfected his Qi Condensation. He is wearing a black robe and has a skull hanging on his chest. It looks very exaggerated.

The moment he walked into the drug store, his cultivation spread out, forming a wave of waves that enveloped the drug store, and he even kicked away a chair in front of him.

With a crash, the chair hit the counter, shattered and shattered all over the floor.

A corner of the counter was also broken. Ling'er, who was keeping accounts behind him, raised his head and frowned slightly.

"Starting from today, you here will hand over 300 white pills to our Skeleton Alliance every month. Do you hear me clearly? I will only say it once!" The monk who condensed the Qi of Great Perfection slapped the counter on the counter and said coldly. .

He was not alone, there were four others standing guard outside the drug store behind him, with the same appearance.

Pedestrians on the street saw this scene, noticed the characteristics of these people's clothes, and avoided them one after another.

"It's the Skeleton Alliance!"

"This group of people are cruel and ruthless. I heard before that a shop in a small town provoked them, and they broke into it at night and killed the whole family."

"Especially their leader, who is the founder of the Great Perfection. Alas, they don't dare to provoke the strong ones, so they come to bully us poor people."

Ling'er didn't say anything. The ancestor of the King Kong Sect hanging on the beam was trembling with excitement at this moment.

After so long, he finally found the person who came to seek death, and he also found an opportunity to express himself.

So he was about to fly to stab the opponent with three thorns and six holes, but he had to stop the next moment because Ling'er wouldn't let him.

Ling'er's face turned pale, as if she was frightened. She quickly took out a bag and put it in front of her, nodding repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, we'll give it."

Seeing that it was going so smoothly, the Qi Condensing Dzogchen sneered. They often did this kind of thing, and every time they would investigate in advance to make sure there would be no hard trouble before blackmailing.

They have been keeping an eye on this drug store for half a month. They came here today mainly for testing, but they didn't expect it to be so successful, so they glared at Ling'er. He raised his hand to take the bag and weighed it in his hands. Dan spoke.

"You know what's going on!"

After saying that, he turned around and left proudly.

When they left, the panic on Ling'er's face dissipated, and she spoke calmly while calculating the accounts.

"Youlingzi."

"Here, mistress, please give me your instructions." The ancestor of the Vajra Sect who was hanging in Liangshan responded quickly.

"It's not good to kill people here. It will affect business. You go to their place tonight and kill them all quietly. Remember to bring the elixirs when you come back. Not one of them is missing. Also, if there is anything valuable, ’s things are also taken back.”

"It's a pity that Xiaoying didn't come back. I can only leave this matter to you."

Ling'er spoke calmly.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect quickly glanced at the back room, then looked at Ling'er, knowing more about this little girl in his heart.

He secretly thought that this mistress was not as harmless as she seemed on the surface. When she faced the one-eyed monk before, she said a pleasant word to him with a soft-hearted attitude, which made him stunned for a moment.

Now he spoke quickly.

"Mother, make sure to complete the mission!"

Ling'er smiled, put away the broken chairs on the ground, and said another sentence.

"By the way, remember to bring back three more chairs."

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect blinked and quickly said yes.

"Well, let me think about it. You can capture a few of their heads and give them to Brother Xu Qing for study."

Ling'er warned again.

Xu Qing raised his head in the back room, looked away from the half-dissected Golden Core Scorpion in front of him, and looked outside. He felt warm in his heart at Ling'er's thoughtfulness.

He was indeed a little tired of always studying ferocious beasts.

The big scorpion in front of Xu Qing was not dead at this moment, with horror and despair in its eyes. In its perception, the human race in front of it was extremely terrifying, and its body had been cut alive.

The fluctuations here are hidden and cannot be noticed from the outside.

Otherwise, the Skeleton Alliance monk who had perfected the Qi Condensation Dzogchen would have been so frightened that he immediately collapsed and regretted walking here.

"It's time to study the curse in these monks." Xu Qing murmured in his heart, raised his hand and crushed the scorpion's head, ending its life.

At night, the dark sky became darker and darker, and a black light flew out from the medicine shop at an alarming speed. It was the ancestor of the Vajra Sect, traveling between heaven and earth.

He harnessed the spirit fish bone and headed straight for the small force where the person who arrived during the day was.

"The little butt shadow is usually silly, but it made the right move, which is to please the mistress..."

"I was negligent in this matter. I didn't realize at first that that little girl is usually innocent and innocent, but in fact she is as dark as the evil star's heart."

"In storybooks, such matrons are characters who are not easy to mess with."

"Xiao Piying has a backer and has become arrogant recently."

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect recalled the scenes about Ling'er, and felt more and more that the other party was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, so he made up his mind to try to please him more in the future.

"But I lost the opportunity... It doesn't matter. I will go and please another mistress after I return to Fenghai County."

"In this way, if one day the evil star dislikes me, I will have a trump card to save my life."

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect was full of thoughts, and he quickly left Tucheng and arrived at the nearby place where the small force was located.

But before he even got close, his expression moved slightly and he felt the smell of blood.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect was feeling light in his heart. Even though the opponent was instantly killable in his eyes, he still remained cautious, hiding his traces and approaching slowly. After wandering around inside, he saw that the ground was full of corpses.

All the monks from this small force had been massacred, not a single one was left alive, and all the items inside had been looted.

"Looking at it like this, the time of death was half an hour ago, and the person who took action was at least a golden elixir. After he came, he killed him quickly..."

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect thought for a while, turned around and left the place. After returning to the medicine shop, he immediately reported everything he saw and his analysis to Ling'er and Xu Qing.

Ling'er was surprised and Xu Qing was thoughtful. It was unlikely that this incident was a coincidence. Instead, it felt like it was done deliberately.

And the answer also appeared the next day.

In the early morning, before the drug store opened, there were two people standing outside, waiting respectfully.

The first time Ling'er opened the shop door, these two people

Bow to Linger.

"I've met the shopkeeper. I wonder if the master is here?"

Ling'er blinked and glanced over the two people.

One of them she had seen was the human boy who bought the detoxification pill. The middle-aged man next to him was wearing a blue robe and had a somewhat elegant look on his body, which was obviously different from the clothes of the others here.

His cultivation level is also pretty good, he belongs to the late stage of Golden Core, and his breakthrough doesn't seem to take long.

The person who spoke to her was the middle-aged Jin Dan. The young man next to him had a reserved expression and his eyes were aimed at the back room where Xu Qing was.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man bowed to the back room again and spoke respectfully.

"Master, yesterday the people of the Skeleton Alliance provoked you, I have wiped them out. This is the pill they extorted from here."

The middle-aged Jin Dan took out a bag and handed it to Ling'er with both hands.

Ling'er's eyes lit up. She had been thinking about the elixir last night. She felt that she had lost money, but she did not immediately go to get it. Instead, she waited for Xu Qing's response.

She knows the character of brother Xu Qing and understands that some things are not hers to decide.

"Please come in."

After a while, Xu Qing's voice came from the back room.

Ling'er took a few steps back, and the two people walked in respectfully. They stood aside and looked at the curtain of the back room without making any inquiring move.

Xu Qing was so knowledgeable and sensible that he had no choice but to show up, so he walked out of the back room and looked at the two of them.

Regarding Xu Qing's youth, the golden elixir monk had a strange look in his eyes, but this did not affect his attitude. At this moment, his expression became solemn, and he cupped his fists towards Xu Qing and explained his intention.

"Meet the master."

"This is Chen Fanzhuo, the leader of the nearby Runtu Sect. He is a disciple of our sect, and it is from him that I know the master's medical skills."

"I took the liberty to come here because all the disciples of our sect have been poisoned, even Chen. Does Master have any antidote pills?"

"Chen is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."

He knew very well that some things should be simple and direct and should not be hidden away. Moreover, disciples of the sect were having attacks one after another. He found many alchemists but they were unable to do anything about this poison.

So I was extremely anxious, until I accidentally discovered that a disciple was actually okay.

So after knowing all this, he decided to come here.

He didn't believe that ordinary people could refine such an elixir, and it was even more unusual for someone to have such detoxification skills.

So his attitude was always polite.

Xu Qing looked as usual and glanced at the middle-aged monk, not bothering to tell whether this person was behind the Skeleton Alliance's actions as a sign of goodwill.

The other party's attitude is enough.

So he raised his hand and threw a bag filled with antidote pills.

The middle-aged monk took it with both hands without looking at it. He took out a storage bag and put it aside, and then left politely.

After he left, Ling'er quickly went up to check, and then exclaimed.

"Brother Xu Qing, there are one hundred thousand spirit stones here."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, having a good impression of the middle-aged monk, and then called Ling'er into the back room.

Ling'er didn't know what she thought of. She blushed a little and immediately closed the door of the medicine shop. Then she took a deep breath and followed Xu Qing into the back room. Then she straightened her chest and spoke softly.

"Brother Xu Qing, why did you call me over in broad daylight?"

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to Ling'er's words. He sat down cross-legged and took out a lens.

"Ling'er, I hope you join Niyue Palace."

"Ah?" Ling'er was stunned, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. Brother Xu Qing's actions seemed a little different from what she thought...

"I tried recently, but I couldn't join." Xu Qing was helpless. During these days, he tried to complete the second assessment, but failed every time. All the methods he thought of had no effect.

Now there is only one last method left.

That is to let Ling'er join and complete the assessment, and use the art of sharing fate with Ling'er to enter the Moon-Reverse Palace.

There was originally a difficulty here, because the weakest people in the Red Moon Temple were Yuanying, and Ling'er's cultivation had not yet reached the golden elixir, so there was a problem with the power of the sacrifice.

The assessment requires that the target of sacrifice must be in the same realm as the sacrificer. If the level of the Red Moon Cultivation being sacrificed is too high, this obvious loophole will be considered as someone helping to cheat.

This is also to limit the cultivation of those who join the Moon-Reverse Palace.

But with Xu Qing here, this problem can be easily solved.

Under Xu Qing's explanation, Linger understood this clearly, put away her thoughts secretly, and nodded vigorously.

"No problem, brother Xu Qing, I can do it."

After saying that, Ling'er patted her chest while still in front of Xu Qing.

At this moment, Xu Qing's mind was filled with the matter of entering the Niyue Palace. He had been thinking about this matter for a long time and analyzed it in detail in his mind. There would be no danger, so after he and Ling'er explained the steps, they started immediately.

Xu Qing first asked Ling'er to open the mirror, then took out two ferocious beasts with the same cultivation level as Ling'er, quickly blessed them, and threw them into the mirror before their curse was about to break out.

The first test passed quickly, and then the faith test went smoothly. Ling'er didn't have any power of the red moon in her body, so she completed the second test easily.

At the moment of completion, there was a sound of shattering from the mirror floating in the air, and a gap appeared.

Waves of suction power emitted from this gap.

"Brother Xu Qing, that voice told me that this is the entrance to Niyue Palace." Ling'er looked in the mirror and spoke quickly.

Xu Qing looked at the crack in the mirror and did not dare to try to enter. With the status of Niyue Palace, if someone other than the examiner forced his way in, he was afraid that the killing power would come immediately.

So Xu Qing looked at Ling'er.

There was expectation in Ling'er's eyes. Ever since Xu Qing broke up with her, she said nothing, but she was still very disappointed in her heart. Now that she could continue, her heart was full of happiness, without any hesitation, and her body melted in a flash. The little white snake landed on Xu Qing's wrist.

The next moment, a streak of black hair wrapped around him.

The connection between the two was re-established, but today Xu Qing is no longer the same as before. With the blessing of the power of luck in his body, this time it is not one-sided, but jointly between both parties.

After doing this, Xu Qing could clearly feel that he and Ling'er seemed to have become one body at this moment.

"Brother Xu Qing is a unique talent of our Ancient Spirit Clan. In his life... he can only control one person. Even if he is freed, he cannot control others."

"From now on, you and I live together, you live and I live, you die and I die, life and death depend on each other, the morning glow and the underworld...we are all companions!"

An ethereal voice rose in Xu Qing's heart.

Xu Qing stared at the mark on his wrist and nodded heavily. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the floating mirror and swayed straight towards the crack.

The moment he got closer, his body turned into a beam of light and merged into the crack.

Entered a strange place!
