Chapter 287 - 287 Deep Grace Stays in the Dream

287 Deep Grace Stays in the Dream

Xu Qing didn’t bother with her.

The little black bugs hadn’t met his requirements yet. He was a little dissatisfied with this method of biting from the outside.

“There are two directions to go. One is to make them bigger and the other is smaller…”

Xu Qing chose small.

Only then could they kill silently without being detected. Xu Qing adjusted the direction of his research and continued to refine and explore.

This feeling of learning and searching for answers made him feel very comfortable.

Other than corpse poison, he also added the poisons he had refined in the past two years. These poisons were ordinary now but Xu Qing wanted the black bugs to gain more resistance to poison by devouring them.

“Once I succeed in refining the poison this time, it will be equivalent to refining my true first poison. Moreover, it’s an active poison.”

Xu Qing felt that compared to the poisons he had refined previously, the one he refined now could be considered quite good.

Other than that, he also spent his spirit stones like water during this period, causing his heart to ache endlessly.

He had bought a lot of different types of medicinal herbs. He even spared no expense to buy some extremely expensive medicinal herbs to experiment.

In the end, he mostly chose poisonous gra.s.ses. As he continued to feed the little black bugs, he finally found medicinal herbs that made the little black bugs smaller during the repeated poison testing.

This method wasn’t perfect. He needed to adjust the dosage and test it. He also needed the poison testers to cooperate with him.

However, all the prisoners of the Homicide Department had died. Xu Qing felt that the prisoners of the Heaven Division shouldn’t be able to hold on for long as well.

This made Xu Qing a little annoyed as he felt that he was in a crucial moment of his research.

“Should I go out to sea…”

Xu Qing fell silent for a moment but gave up on this thought. He took out the voice transmission jade slip and issued a mission to the entire Homicide Department.

Very soon, the disciples of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department rushed out crazily, setting off an unprecedented trend of arrests in the Seventh Peak’s port area.

All the wanted criminals, as long as they were still in the port area, felt their hearts skip a beat. As wanted criminals were captured wildly, the public security in the entire port area became extremely good.

At the same time, seeing that Xu Qing was doing well, the captain wasn’t to be outdone. The intelligence department’s operations were carried out frequently and spies were caught every day.

The captain didn’t deal with the small fishes too seriously after recording the punishment. His focus was on the big fishes. Just like that, the atmosphere in the entire port area became positive.

Xu Qing and the captain’s reputation became even greater in the sect.

However, the reputation of the captain was mostly from the term ‘mad dog’. As for Xu Qing… he was called a demon!

The news that he had used all the prisoners in the Homicide Department to test poison had already spread. To a certain extent, in terms of reputation, Xu Qing was even more terrifying than the captain.

Even so, Xu Qing’s poison testing was still not over. Hence, he targeted the prisons of the Homicide Departments on the other six mountain peaks. However, he was rejected after negotiation.

Only the First Peak’s Homicide Department sent some imprisoned nonhuman cultivators over. As such, Xu Qing simply arranged for his subordinates to head to the other districts to capture wanted criminals.

Crossing districts to arrest was a taboo, but Xu Qing couldn’t care less. When the captain saw Xu Qing like this, he also began to cross districts.

The Intelligence Department and Homicide Department of the other six peaks were also anxious, so they quickly launched similar operations in the other districts. The entire Seven Blood Eyes was filled with an intense compet.i.tive atmosphere.

Another half a month pa.s.sed. When the Seven Blood Eyes’ army stepped into the Sea Corpse Race’s territory and started a decisive battle with the Sea Corpse Race, the operations of the Intelligence and Homicide Departments of the Seven Blood Eyes finally came to an end.

The main reason was that Xu Qing felt that he had already studied the little black bugs to an extremely deep level and he had even fed them black pills.

Their overall number had also increased from half a bottle to five bottles.

Each bottle contained countless small black bugs and looked like liquid. These black bugs were smaller than half the size of the previous version Xu Qing had obtained back then.

In fact, if only one was released, it would be impossible to see it with the naked eye. However, it was difficult to change their color. They were still black, so once there were too many of them, they would look like black fog.

The most important thing was their lethality. After the test, Xu Qing discovered that once these little black bugs infiltrated someone’s body, they would instantly reproduce and start devouring the flesh and blood. During this process, they would also emit a vast amount of anomalous substances and poison.

Moreover, they were extremely difficult to remove. Once they entered the body, they would seep deep into the body like bone marrow.

If he had the current black bugs when he fought with the black-clothed girl before, Xu Qing felt that the black-clothed girl would probably die in a few breaths of time.

With such might, Xu Qing felt that they should be able to barely meet his requirements and threaten the Golden Core.

However, he felt it a pity that he didn’t have a Golden Core poison tester by his side. However, he felt that there was a high chance that they would be of some use against Golden Cores.

“Moreover, these little black bugs of mine can continue to grow.” Xu Qing was very satisfied with this point. It was also the result of his constant research and purchase of medicinal herbs during this period of time.

“I hope there won’t be a day when I really have to test them on a Golden Core.” A cold glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. If such a thing happened, it meant that he would have to risk his life.

Xu Qing dripped his blood into these five bottles of small black bugs. This was his way of controlling these countless small black bugs.

The little black bugs poisoned the enemy, while he poisoned the little black bugs!

These little black bugs had to absorb a drop of his blood every once in a while. Otherwise, they would die. The instinct of living creatures caused these little black bugs to protect Xu Qing even though they didn’t have any intelligence.

Because they would only survive if Xu Qing was alive.

Other than that, these little black bugs also needed to eat a large number of medicinal herbs and poisonous gra.s.s every day. This was also a method of raising them and the expenditure was extremely high. Xu Qing had felt that he was very rich previously, but now he realized he was still poor.

However, he had another additional gain, and that was the black-clothed girl.

The other party was still imprisoned in the Black Division but she no longer cursed. She sat in her cell quietly and occasionally, when new prisoners came and Xu Qing went over to test the poison, she would stare at him. The peculiarity in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.

She had mentioned many times that she wanted to help, and from her expression, Xu Qing could tell that she was saying it sincerely.

This made Xu Qing feel a little strange. At the same time, the large decrease in spirit stones made him a little nervous. As for his profits from the port, it would still take some time. After all, the constructions and all the works in the port expended a large number of spirit stones.

As such, Xu Qing thought of the magic artifacts that the Diamond Sect’s ancestor had absorbed and turned into fake magic artifacts. He wondered if he should find a black market to sell them.

While Xu Qing was weighing this matter, a red jade slip was teleported from the battlefield to the Seventh Peak’s Intelligence Department!

The red jade slip represented an extremely important matter!

Only the Peak Lords could send it out. No matter how far the battlefield was, these red slips would immediately reach the designated location in the sect.

So far, the red jade slips had only been issued three times in this wartime. Every time, it concerned a huge strategic opportunity that required the cooperation of the sect.

However, this time… it had nothing to do with war. It was Old Master Seventh who sent it.

After the captain received it, he swept his divine sense over and his expression changed drastically. After a long time, he placed the apple in his hand to the side. He then stood up and wanted to look for Xu Qing.

However, he hesitated. In the end, he let out a long sigh and still headed straight for Xu Qing’s magic s.h.i.+p.

When the captain found Xu Qing, Xu Qing was organizing those magic artifacts. He had decided to sell these magic artifacts.

Xu Qing originally didn’t think much of the captain’s sudden visit, but he stopped when he saw the solemn expression on the captain’s face.

“Captain?”

“Xu Qing.” The captain hesitated for a moment. He looked at Xu Qing and hesitated to speak.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and stared at the captain. He faintly felt that something was amiss.

“Xu Qing, the old man has arranged a mission for me.” After a few breaths of silence, determination appeared in the captain’s eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

“This mission requires me to leave the Seven Blood Eyes and make a trip to Purple Earth. It’s very urgent. The old man can’t leave the battlefield; otherwise, he would have gone himself. The old man also asked me to ask you if you wanted to do this mission yourself?”

Xu Qing’s expression was gloomy. He naturally knew who the old man the captain was talking about was.

“Captain, there’s no need to be so secretive. What’s the matter?”

The captain cast a deep glance at Xu Qing and handed the red jade slip to him.

Xu Qing took it. After his magic power surged in, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

“My close friend, Grandmaster Bai, was a.s.sa.s.sinated in Purple Earth this morning…”

When Xu Qing read this, he felt like a lightning bolt had struck him. His body became a little unsteady and he took a few steps back.

His face turned pale before color appeared again. The veins on his forehead bulged and the hand that was holding the jade slip trembled slightly.

He seemed to be trying his best to control himself as he tried to calm his hurried breathing.

A deep sense of unreality hit his mind and he closed his eyes.

In the pitch-black world in front of him, a tent seemed to have appeared. An aged and hoa.r.s.e voice spread with dignity.

“Kid, you answer!”

“Kid, from now on, you don’t have to stand outside or take those messy medicinal herbs. From tomorrow onwards, you can enter the tent to listen to the lesson.”

“Know that the world is the guest house of all living beings. Time is a pa.s.serby from ancient times until now. As long as we don’t die, we will meet again. I hope that the day I see you again will be the day you become a talent.”

In the pitch-black world, this tent shattered and turned into ashes, disappearing from Xu Qing’s sight. Only the last sentence still echoed in his ears, becoming eternal.

“As long as we don’t die, we’ll meet again eventually.” Xu Qing mumbled hoa.r.s.ely and slowly opened his eyes.

Grandmaster Bai was the first teacher who had truly changed his life.
