320 A Horse Can Never Get Fat Without Extra Ration

“Taboo?”

Xu Qing started. He had never heard of this term before and didn’t know what taboos were.

However, very soon, through the communication between the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and the shadow and the information he received, Xu Qing knew that the taboos existed above magic treasures.

As for how the shadow knew this, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor also asked considerately. The shadow’s answer was that for some reason, it seemed to know after seeing it.

At the same time, the shadow emitted intense emotions that were filled with incomparable desire to devour.

This caused Xu Qing to fall into deep thought. However, he didn’t agree to the shadow’s request immediately. Unless he was completely confident, he wouldn’t easily let the shadow absorb such a treasure.

It was hard to say if the other party would rebel during the absorption process. As such, Xu Qing thought for a bit before closing the wooden box amidst the shadow’s reluctance.

He glanced at the shadow and suddenly spoke.

“If you perform well, I’ll consider letting you absorb it in the future.”

The shadow immediately emitted excitement. The Diamond Sect’s ancestor’s mind shook and his vigilance against the shadow became even more intense. He felt that he had to display more methods. Otherwise, it would be very easy for Little Shadow to successfully fight for favor.

Ignoring the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and shadow, Xu Qing continued to check Sima Ling’s storage ring. He searched for a long time and discovered that the remaining items inside were all miscellaneous items with nothing truly good among them.

He gave up on searching and finally took out the five pills. After taking a sniff, determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He directly swallowed one. At the next instant, as the pill melted, Xu Qing’s entire body trembled violently.

He could sense a violent power crazily gathering in his body.

This wasn’t soul power. It was more like a pill formed by a high-level pill formula that specially opened the magic apertures.

Under the continuous convergence, the numbness grew increasingly intense at the location of the 84th magic aperture. In the blink of an eye, this violent force rumbled and headed straight for the 84th magic aperture.

Xu Qing’s entire body trembled and purple light flashed in his eyes.

“A pill actually opened a magic aperture!”

This effect had already surpa.s.sed the soul pills Xu Qing had bought on the black market. It could be said that up until now, other than the high-level soul pill refined from Bai Li’s soul, it was the pill with the best effect.

He sensed the rumbling circulation of the 84 magic apertures in his body. He didn’t hesitate to swallow another pill. A moment later, Xu Qing’s body trembled again and his breathing became hurried.

The 85th magic aperture was also opened!

“The effect actually didn’t weaken!” Xu Qing had completely realized the value of this pill. In addition, he also had a deep understanding of the wealth of the heaven’s chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance.

“There are three more.” Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed as he swallowed the third pill. Very soon, the 86th magic aperture was opened.

Xu Qing didn’t stop and swallowed the last two medicinal pills one after another. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the 88 magic apertures in his body formed astonis.h.i.+ng magic power. It was like a fire dragon in his body, circulating ferociously and emitting powerful heat.

“I only have two magic apertures left to form the third ball of life fire!”

Xu Qing’s eyes revealed excitement.

In the next few days, he began to collect soul pills in the Seven Blood Eyes, wanting to break through the last two magic apertures. However, things like soul pills were not common and would take time to get.

As for the two pieces of divinity flesh, Xu Qing tried them but their effects weren’t good. Hence, Xu Qing chose to put them into the magic s.h.i.+p.

However, Xu Qing had an alternative plan. He walked out from his berth and went to the prison of the Homicide Department.

There were a large number of Night Dove cultivators there. Although their cultivation levels were very weak, there were a lot of them. Xu Qing felt that if he piled them up and there were enough of them, he might be able to open his magic apertures.

During this soul refinement, Xu Qing was also constantly adapting to the toxicity of the Poison Restriction Pill, allowing him to have more time to study it. He was even thinking of a way to fuse the little black bugs with this poison pill.

This was a new field which he would need to experiment a lot before he could gain something.

Just like that, time slowly pa.s.sed.

The Seven Blood Eyes’ celebratory feast continued. Every day, outsiders would arrive, causing all the ports to be lively and bustling. However, the mood of the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples became increasingly heavy.

This was because although the challenges from the seven sects were delayed by Xu Qing’s matter for a few days, they quickly resumed again.

It was as though the Seven Sects Alliance wanted to drag this challenge for the whole of the three months of the celebratory period. As for the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s Saintly Star, although he only challenged once and didn’t continue to challenge, he lived on the First Peak.

The canopy formed by the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern outside his residence shook the heavens and the earth. The aura that suppressed the First Peak’s disciples caused all the nonhuman races and allies who had arrived to fall silent.

The att.i.tude of the Seven Sects Alliance was obvious.

This was no longer a simple statement but a deep warning.

They were warning the Seven Blood Eyes not to have any thoughts of independence. It was also rumored that after this celebration banquet, the seven peak lords of the Seven Blood Eyes would be changed by the Seven Sects Alliance.

In an instant, the Seven Blood Eyes, which had clearly won against the Sea Corpse Race and should have been enjoying a peak period, was suppressed. The Seven Blood Eyes’ ancestor didn’t respond.

Xu Qing also felt this oppressive atmosphere in the sect but he felt that this matter wouldn’t end so simply. Thinking of what the captain had said about what he had seen on the Sixth Peak, Xu Qing had a feeling that the sect seemed to be waiting for something.

“No matter what, this is a game between the higher-ups.” Xu Qing shook his head and didn’t bother with it, continuing to immerse himself in his cultivation. The captain had also returned and informed Xu Qing before busying himself with something.

Xu Qing continued to refine the prisoners’ souls during these few days. Although his magic apertures were still not opened, his understanding of the Poison Restriction Pill became more thorough. Not only was his body more used to it, but he also confirmed the idea of refining it.

In addition, he was also trying to fuse the Poison Restriction Pill and the little black bugs. However, this process consumed a lot of the little black bugs. Most of the time, even if a group of them fused into it, they wouldn’t be able to succeed.

All of them died when they got close.

However, Xu Qing wasn’t discouraged. Right now, in the prison, he took out all the bottles that contained the little black bugs.

After Xu Qing’s continuous replenishment, there were eight bottles of little black bugs.

There were countless black bugs in each of them. Previously, he had tried to fuse a bottle of small black bugs into the poison pill and all of them died. At this moment, he took out a second bottle and opened it.

He performed a series of hand seals and pointed. Immediately, a black fog rose from the small bottle. It was extremely dense and surrounded Xu Qing.

If an outsider saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

This was because these little black bugs were so threatening that even Golden Core cultivators would be somewhat wary of them.

However, Xu Qing was clearly still not satisfied with their might. He opened the wish box and pointed. Immediately, the black fog in the surroundings headed straight for the wish box.

However, the moment they got close, these black fog fell down one after another. All the little black bugs instantly rotted and died.

Xu Qing frowned and continued to try. Very soon, the third bottle, the fourth bottle, the fifth bottle…

Countless little black bugs died again and again. Even when there was only one bottle left, not a single one survived. All of them died.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly. He didn’t dare to continue with the last bottle. He wanted to use it as a seed to nurture more little black bugs.

Hence, he arranged for the Homicide Department to send Night Doves, who were imprisoned in the other prisons, over as a supplement to his little black bugs’ cultivation.

It was only when he used the flesh and blood of those Night Doves to cultivate the little black bugs again that Xu Qing continued to attempt to adapt them to the poison pill.

During this cultivation process, he also added many poison-resistant herbs and even fused more of his blood.

After all, his body had obtained more resistance to poison when resisting this poison pill.

Just like that, another seven days pa.s.sed.

Xu Qing, who was constantly driving the little black bugs to get close to the Poison Restriction Pill, finally succeeded in obtaining eight little black bugs that survived the first wave of death.

Although they became very weak after enduring the poison, Xu Qing was very excited.

These eight survivors were seeds that would give birth to little black bugs that had better resistance.

After these eight little black bugs pa.s.sed their weakened period, Xu Qing sensed that they seemed to have undergone some mutations. Their colors were no longer as pitch-black.

“With this method, I’ll definitely be able to nurture little black bugs that can completely withstand the Poison Restriction Pill. I’ll make them parasitize the Poison Restriction Pill and nurture them in it. Their power will be even more terrifying.”

Just as Xu Qing’s heart was filled with antic.i.p.ation, at dusk, under the illumination of the red glow on the horizon, an uninvited guest wearing a red glove on his right hand walked over to the Homicide Department’s residence where he was in.

This person was a youth in his late twenties. He walked over under the setting sun and wore a purple Daoist robe inlaid with golden threads. One could vaguely see the pattern of Taotie1 on his sleeves.

As he moved forward, waves of magic power fluctuations spread out from the Daoist robe. As it spread in all directions, it also made this person’s handsome face look even more extraordinary.

However, although the person who came was handsome, his nose was a little too big, ruining his overall delicate appearance and caused him to give off a domineering feeling.

When he walked over, many small stones on the path outside the Homicide Department’s residence seemed to be attracted by his aura and slowly floated up, surrounding him. Gradually, they formed a vortex storm.

Even the light of the setting sun seemed to have dimmed a little after this person arrived. As for his right glove, it looked increasingly demonic in this dim lighting.

This scene attracted the attention of the members of the Homicide Department. All of them had solemn expressions as though they were facing a great enemy.

As the other party got closer, a storm swept in all directions, blowing on their bodies, causing these disciples on duty to retreat uncontrollably until they reached the side of the gate. One of them panted and veins bulged on his forehead as he let out a low shout.

“Halt!”

The purple-robed youth lifted his right hand and a purple bead rapidly formed outside his glove. He waved it slightly and the purple bead headed straight for the disciple on duty.

“There’s no need to be nervous. Give this item to your director, Xu Qing. Tell him that I’m giving him a huge opportunity.”
