Outside of Time

While Xu Qing's thoughts were active here, on another lake in this void, the captain was wearing a black robe, standing there with his hands behind his back, looking up into the void above.

There was a sigh in his expression, as if he was savoring and reminiscing, and a sense of vicissitudes of life arose spontaneously along with his expression.

After a long time, a sigh full of complex emotions came out of his mouth, echoing in all directions, setting off layers of lingering sounds, giving people a feeling of overflowing emotion.

"The world here, the vegetation here, everything here, I am so familiar with..."

The captain murmured.

However, before the reverberation of his words could end, a cold voice came out indifferently from the mirror of the lake at his feet.

"Are you blind? There is no heaven, earth, or vegetation here. From the moment it was created by the Lord, this place has been nothingness, from beginning to end."

The captain blinked and looked as usual. He didn't feel any embarrassment after being exposed. Instead, he felt proud in his heart. He secretly said that you, a little kid, don't know a thing. This is the spell I was talking about.

After finishing the spell, he raised his head and spoke loudly.

"I have already thought about my ambition for the trial!"

The water surface rippled under his feet. The old man in white robe stared at it and spoke coldly.

"Speak of your ambition."

"My great wish is to save the sentient beings in the Moon Sacrifice Territory from the sea of ​​suffering and lead them to resist the Red Moon. In the end, I will kill the Red Mother and devour it like the Lord did back then. The world will know it and create the world!"

The captain looked proud and his voice echoed.

In the mirror of the lake, the expression of the old man in white robe did not change at all, as if he was indifferent to this ambition, but waves of cold air radiated from his feet, spread throughout the lake, and seeped out from under the lake where the captain was, turning into a cold sound. .

"How do you do that?"

"It's simple. I first become the Lord of the Moon-Reverse Palace. This is a crucial step in my series of plans."

"In addition, I have a second ambition. I want to rename this Moon Festival Territory...the Tianniu Territory!"

The captain's eyes were persistent and his voice was passionate.

The old man in white robe said nothing, and the cold air became stronger, slowly covering the captain from all directions.

Seeing this, the captain felt happy. He seemed to feel that saying this was not exaggerated and violent enough, and the cold air around him spread too slowly, so he spoke again.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. I still have a third ambition. I will eventually destroy the remnants of Cangqiong, become the new ancient emperor of this Wangu continent, and unify Wangu!"

"When the time comes, I will punch the holy land and step on the glorious sky. All races will worship me, and all the heavens will sink for me."

Having said this, the captain was so excited that he threw his head back and laughed.

And in his laughter, the surrounding cold air suddenly surged, heading straight towards him, submerging him in the blink of an eye, and finally... turned into an ice sculpture.

The captain in this ice sculpture still keeps laughing and looks very arrogant.

At this moment, it slowly sank, disappeared on the lake, and fell into the depths of this nothingness...

Apparently, his ambition was judged as false by the weapon spirit of Niyue Palace, so he was punished with a seal.

On the other side, Xu Qing was in high spirits.

After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea about drug prohibition. The only thing was that he was not sure whether the weapon spirit would notice his behavior.

After all, this can be regarded as using the assessment to achieve one's private wishes.

Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, Xu Qing felt that he should be on the safe side and first refine the Cursed Pill as a cover.

In this case, even if he is really discovered, he will have an excuse.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing immediately waved his hand, and a large number of herbs flew in and separated continuously in his hands.

Some draw fluids, some separate veins, some catalyze, and some graft together. Each is different but harmonizes with each other.

As for the basic elixir, it is the curse-reducing elixir that Xu Qing refined outside.

These elixirs themselves can reduce the curse by about 10%, and Xu Qing refined a lot of them in his free time some time ago.

At this moment, under his re-refining, although the added part made the elixir appear virtual and real, on the mirror surface of the lake, the ingredients in the elixir that were incorporated into the illusory herbs were perfectly blended together.

The most important thing is that every herb in it is just right, making Xu Qing feel extremely comfortable while refining it.

Whatever you need, just shout.

Just shout and it will appear immediately.

If the age is not good, increase the age. If the medicinal effect is not satisfactory, replace it with other better herbs.

All the theoretical knowledge he had gained over the years was exploding in this short period of time, and all the medicinal herbs he had never seen in his life were found here casually.

After such continuous confirmation, Xu Qing's grass and tree skills also improved by leaps and bounds.

Looking from a distance, Xu Qing was sitting cross-legged. As he waved his hands, countless herbs surrounded him, and their shapes were constantly changing.

Under the catalysis of these herbs, the elixir's ability to reduce the curse has gradually increased, reaching almost 20%.

All this refreshed Xu Qing's spirits.

He knew that the direction of his previous research was correct.

The main principle of reducing curses through vegetation is actually to fight fire with fire.

On the one hand, it is the power of Xu Qingzi Yue contained in the elixir itself. This is the foundation and foundation, just like the source.

On the other hand, there are those transformed plants and trees, which grew and formed under the invasion of the remnants of the gods, so they have special medicinal effects.

Most of these medicinal effects contain a certain degree of heterogeneity.

By cooperating with the method of vegetation taught by Master Bai, you can use it to fight poison with poison, thereby suppressing the curse of the Red Mother.

It's easy to say, but in fact this requires a lot of experimentation and preparation. If it were left to the outside world, it would be extremely difficult to accomplish it with Xu Qing's alone.

The most difficult thing is the materials. There are not so many natural materials and treasures that he can try one by one to find the correct formula.

But here, nothing is a problem.

Xu Qing's eyes are frozen and suppressed?

"Vegetation is indeed the key to the path to the gods."

Xu Qing murmured, he knew very well that this was actually Zhu Zhao's understanding.

Just like that, time passes.

Seven days passed.

The seven days here are just an hour to the outside world.

It is difficult for others to know the details here, but Xu Qing has a sundial inside his body, and through the pointer of the sundial, he can clearly identify the changes in time.

"One hour in the outside world lasts seven days here. In other words, one day in the outside world lasts nearly three months here?"

Xu Qing was a little surprised. This ability was so amazing. He instinctively felt that it was not an infinite passage as the old man in white robe said, and there was a high probability that it would end.

"It's unlikely that this place can last forever... I'm running out of time."

Thinking of this, Xu Qing quietly changed the elixir recipe. It seemed that he had been refining the elixir, but every seven or eight herbs he changed would be mixed with a poisonous weed.

When the quantity reached a certain level, Xu Qing began to refine the poison pill.

"The falling moon shatters the star leaves, the Nine Netherworld spirit centipede roots, the undead corpse drips with blood..."

Xu Qing remained silent, suppressed the excitement in his heart, slowly shaped the poisonous weeds in his memory, and began to refine the poisonous pills.

These poisonous elixirs were all elixirs that he had been studying in the poison path for so many years but could not try because he had no materials. At this moment, as he was refining them, Xu Qing felt extremely comfortable and felt that this place was a holy place for elixir cultivators.

His attainments in grass and trees have also been improved through this refining process.

Not only were the rare poisonous weeds transformed by him, but there were also many rare and rare treasures, which could be said to be everything.

He even tried to shape a poisonous beast, but unfortunately the latter could not be formed here.

This made Xu Qing a little regretful.

But fortunately, at least there was enough vegetation, so as time passed by, Xu Qing refined more and more poison pills.

Bi Ling Du Su Powder, Jueyin Rouge Pill, Sanshou Feather Pills, Qianye Dead Soul Cry, Broken Heart Splitting Divine Liquid, Huo Fen Lei Teng Powder, and Quinine Death Poison.

Half of the Moon, Seven-breathed Smiling, Yanghuo Yan, and Nine Nether Bridges.

Xu Qing looked at the large and small colorful elixirs in front of him, and endless waves arose in his heart. He was very eager that these elixirs could really be taken out here.

"With these poisons... my combat power will increase so much."

Xu Qing sighed in his heart. He knew this was unrealistic, so he lifted one and put it directly into his mouth, tasting it slowly.

The next moment, his body shook and he felt the poisonous explosion.

At this moment, in the lake mirror at his feet, the figure of the old man in white robe was revealed. He looked at Xu Qing, his expression did not change, and he spoke lightly.

"These are all fake and useless if you swallow them."

Xu Qing opened his eyes, looked at the old man in white robes, and spoke hoarsely while letting his body remember the feeling of swallowing the poison.

"I have encountered a bottleneck in refining the Curse-Reducing Pill, and I need to find a way to break it, so even if it is false, I have to try it myself, feel the changes in this falsehood, and look for the possibility of breaking the bottleneck."

The old man in white robe took a deep look at Xu Qing, and then glanced at the colorful pills in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, raised his hand and picked up another one. Under the eyes of the other party, he continued to swallow it and continue to feel it.

In this way, half a month passed.

Xu Qing transformed almost 90% of the poisons in his memory, and the same was true for the poison pills, and he even created some of them himself.

As he continued to swallow, the pupils of his eyes gradually became larger, eventually replacing the whites of his eyes, making his eyes as a whole completely black.

As for the old man in white robe, he appeared many times in the following days, staring at Xu Qing.

He didn't understand at first and didn't know what Xu Qing was doing. Everything here was obviously fake. Taking so many fake pills was meaningless to him.

Until...he noticed Xu Qing's eyes. At this moment, the old man in white robe had a clear understanding.

"The elixirs and plants are false, but the sensations in the body are real. This kid... is remembering the feeling after swallowing these herbs and elixirs!"

"He is using his memory to invisibly plunder the source of power here!"

The expression of the old man in white robe was no longer indifferent, but for the first time he had some mood swings, including shock and anger.

"After one hour, the trial will end. If you cannot complete it by then, you will be punished with a seal!"

A black light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He was now only a small step away from the final completion.

So after nodding slightly, he closed his eyes and waved his hands violently, and suddenly the poisonous weeds appeared again.

The number is so large that it directly reaches thousands.

After the transformation, Xu Qing had no time to refine it. He opened his mouth suddenly and swallowed the herbs suddenly. Some of them were directly blasted into mist by him with a punch from his hand, covering his whole body.

As the sound of chattering echoed, Xu Qing, who was shrouded in mist, let out a low roar, and the power of drug prohibition instantly exploded within him.

This scene moved the old man in white robes. In his judgment, the trialist in front of him had undergone unstable changes. So with a wave of his hand, the cold air spread out from his feet. After seeping into the lake, he appeared in Xu Qing's body. All around.

The cold air is getting thicker and thicker, and it contains the power to freeze everything, spreading towards Xu Qing from all directions.

Wherever he passed, there was a crackling sound from the lakes on the ground, and they were all frozen. Xu Qing was about to be enveloped by this cold air.

At this moment, the poisonous mist outside Xu Qing's body suddenly rolled up and rolled back.

It was as if Xu Qing in the mist had become a black hole vortex, sucking in all the poisonous mist in the blink of an eye.

And as the poisonous mist disappeared, Xu Qing's figure was clearly revealed, and his eyes suddenly opened at this moment!

The dark eyes are like an abyss, and whenever you look into them, you feel as if you are staring into the abyss, and you feel like you are being stared into by the abyss.

His gaze is even more profound, as if it hides an eternity of darkness, which is enough to cause huge fluctuations in the mind of those who look at it.

The most astonishing thing is that this look... has something strange about it!

This strange and special thing can instantly poison the body and soul of those who look at it.

This is the purpose of the drug ban!

The white-robed old man's body was shaken, and the mirror surface of the lake where he was suddenly turned black at this moment, with wisps of ink pouring in.

"Be bold!"

The old man in white robe roared, the lake churned, the mirror shone, and the cold air was about to erupt.

At this moment, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, ignoring the cold air coming from all around, and looked down at his raised right hand.

There, there is a pill.

Under his gaze, as his poison-forbidden power blasted in, the inner quality of the elixir rapidly changed, and the efficacy of the medicine that reduced the curse also rose rapidly.

Xu Qing's poison ban contained not only the curse of God, but also all the poisons he had swallowed before. At this moment, they were all gathered in his eyes and integrated into the Curse-Reducing Pill.

These poisonous illusions are integrated with the elixir, affecting, balancing and exerting internally.

And the efficacy of this Curse-Reducing Pill also exploded at this moment, from close to 20% to 30%, and it continues.

Finally, a piece of purple cloud spread out from it, and when it was hazy in all directions, Xu Qing raised his head, and said the last words at the moment when the cold air was sealed around him.

"This elixir is finally completed. It can reduce the curse...by 50%!"

At the same time as the words came out, cold air covered Xu Qing's whole body. Under some irresistible law, his body directly turned into an ice sculpture, motionless.

Only the elixir fell from his hand and floated on the ice of the lake. While shining with purple yin, it also gave people a sense of illusion.

After a while, the elixir melted into the ice and appeared in the hand of the old man in white robe.

The old man in white robe looked at the elixir in front of him, and his expression changed again. First he was shocked, then confused, then confused, and finally hesitant.

In his entire life as a weapon spirit, he has never seen such an elixir.

After a long time, he suddenly blew on the elixir.

In this breath, this elixir changed from illusion to reality.

Then he raised his hand and waved, and an ice sculpture suddenly appeared and melted in front of him, revealing a middle-aged man inside.

The big man's cultivation suddenly exploded. After waking up, he was stunned for a moment. He did not choose to escape during the struggle, but respectfully clasped his fists towards the old man in white robes.

"I've met my lord."

"Take it." The old man in white robe had no expression on his face. After speaking indifferently, he waved the elixir in his hand and landed it in front of the big man.

The big man hesitated, but still chose to obey. He took the elixir and looked at it, his expression moved slightly, then he took it in one bite and closed his eyes to experience it.

After a moment, his body suddenly shook wildly, trembling violently, his eyes suddenly opened, and a large mouthful of red blood spurted out with a loud sound.

And the blood suddenly contained a strong aura of curse and decay. It gathered together in mid-air and vaguely transformed into the shadow of the red moon. There was still curse power in it, and it was about to explode.

But the old man in white robe snorted coldly, and suddenly the void roared and came to suppress it.

In an instant, the blood turned directly into ice and fell on the lake, and all fluctuations within it were sealed.

After doing this, the old man in white robe looked at the big man, his eyes showed strange light, and his expression changed again, showing shock.

The big man was equally shocked. He felt his body and lost his voice in shock.

"My curse... has been permanently reduced by half!!"

"Sir, what kind of pill is this!"

The old man in white robe did not answer the big man's question. He flicked his sleeves, and the cold suddenly returned. The big man's body instantly turned into an ice sculpture again and sank into the lake.

After doing this, the old man in white robe stood there in a daze for a moment, and then his body sank into the lake.

When he appeared, he suddenly arrived at the place where Xu Qing's ice sculpture was.

Staring at the ice sculpture in front of him, the old man in white robe was silent again. After a moment, he raised his hand and touched Xu Qing's eyebrows.

At this point, the ice sculpture melted rapidly and turned into mist, which dispersed in all directions. Xu Qing's body inside was shaken and his consciousness came back to life.

"I've met senior."

Xu Qing didn't have too many surprises. No matter how the other party understood his behavior during this period, it didn't matter. What was important was that he told the other party through his actions that all his previous actions were actually part of refining the curse pill.

That last look, which made the elixir appear almost sublime, was enough to explain everything.

The old man in white robe stared at Xu Qing with a strange expression. For a long time, a low voice echoed in the void.

"Throughout the ages, there have been a total of seventy-nine people who have passed this first test. In this era, there are only three."

"You are now number four."

"But although they before you all made great aspirations and gave them the qualifications to complete them, and they did complete them later, they are not the masters of the Moon-Counter Palace, and they are all inferior contracts."

"Because after passing this level, you can't actually become the Lord of the Moon-Counter Palace... You'll know the reason as soon as you walk in."

"You only have half a year. If you can't complete it within half a year, you can only sign a second-rate contract."

The old man in white robe looked at Xu Qing, raised his finger to the lake, and suddenly the lake started churning, and a huge stone gate full of ancient meanings rumbled up from within.

This stone gate is thousands of feet high, full of vicissitudes of life, with traces of the passage of time, as if it has arrived here from ancient times.

It doesn't need to be pushed open because there is a gap in the middle for people to walk through.

Through the gap, Xu Qing vaguely saw that there seemed to be a palace inside.

Xu Qing was a little hesitant. The words of the old man in white robe reminded him of the captain, so he clasped his fists towards the old man.

"Senior, did the tester who came with the junior also pass?"

"His ambitions were too big and he reaped the consequences."

The white-robed old man spoke calmly, raised his foot and stepped on the ground. Suddenly, the ripples on the water surface echoed, revealing dozens of ice sculptures in the depths.

Xu Qing looked down and found that there was one more person inside, it was the senior brother.

He kept laughing, and his arrogance was extremely obvious.

Xu Qing frowned, this was a bit different from what he expected, so he thought deeply in his heart, thinking of the captain's words before the trial.

Based on his knowledge of his senior brother, Xu Qing felt that this incident was most likely the captain's fault. He was frozen on purpose.

"If you can finally pass and become the master of the Moon-Counter Palace, you will have the authority to grant amnesty to all the sealed ones here."

"Now, go in."

The old man in white robe gave Xu Qing a meaningful look, and his body slowly sank into the lake without a trace.

Soon, only Xu Qing and this huge stone door were left here.

Standing in front of the stone gate, Xu Qing took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and walked into the gap of the canyon-like stone gate.

Farther.

Getting closer and closer to the palace inside.

Until a piece of light shone in front of Xu Qing's eyes and filled his world.

At the same time, there was an uproar in Niyue Palace again.

A few hours ago, the shining light of the highest temple in the Niyue Palace had attracted the attention of many monks, and even two deputy palace masters had arrived.

But now several hours have passed, and as the incident unfolds, more and more monks have returned to Niyue Palace to witness this scene.

Voices of discussion also spread frequently.

Looking around, there are statues of gods all over the sky, and some of them are followers of Master Danjiu. Although they don’t know that it is the master who makes them crazy who caused all this, it does not affect them from continuing to promote Danjiu at this time. Nine's benevolent name.

The representative among them is Xu Qing's neighbor. The statue of this person is a big man with an open chest and leaking breasts. He leads hundreds or even thousands of Danjiu's die-hard followers to disperse among the crowd and sing praises to Danjiu.

And just when the Niyue Palace was rarely so lively, suddenly, the highest palace in the sky shook violently, shining with thousands of feet of light, and the brilliance spread in all directions.

There is even more sacred meaning rising within.

This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Success?"

"Could it be that...the palace master is going to appear in Niyue Palace!!"

"too suddenly……"

While the uproar erupted in the mouths of everyone in the Mountain of Niyue Palace, expectations also continued to rise here.

Looking around, the sky is filled with statues of gods, all staring at the gate of the highest temple, waiting for it to open.

However, time passed and a stick of incense passed. The light of the highest peak still shined, but the door remained closed and no one came out.

This scene made many Niyue Palace elders look dim.

"Could it be that the legend about Niyue Palace is true..."
