Time passes slowly,
Today's red glow is more vivid than in the past, and even after watching it for a long time, there will be an indescribable strange feeling, as if someone is painting with blood, smearing the sky.
It seems that there are still strands of golden threads lingering in it. This scene even attracted the attention of the seven peaks of Qixuetong. Many monks living on the mountain walked out of the cave and looked at the sky with strange light in their eyes.
Many disciples in the various ports in the harbor also noticed all this.
And Xu Qing in the 79th port of the law boat also noticed the abnormality of Tianbian Hongxia. After checking several times, he accelerated the explanation of the questions raised by Senior Sister Ding, and pocketed the spirit ticket of the one hundred spirit stones. , looked up at the sky again.
"This scene seems to have been described somewhere." Xu Qing recalled the Haizhi he had seen in his mind, looking for the familiar source.
The red glow didn't last long and slowly dissipated, as if it wanted to use its own beauty to keep the sunset, but the sun was still setting on the horizon. Sister Ding noticed that it was getting late and could only say goodbye.
But before she left, Senior Sister Ding looked at Xu Qing carefully, and suddenly her eyes narrowed. She hadn't paid much attention to Xu Qing's cultivation before.
"Junior Brother Xu, your cultivation level... You have reached the Great Perfection?" Senior Sister Ding showed disbelief on her face.
Although Xu Qing was concealed, it was obvious that Ding Xue practiced different exercises, and seemed to be able to perceive other people's spiritual energy more clearly, so at this moment, after feeling the fluctuation of Xu Qing's cultivation, her mind set off a big wave.
She knew that Xu Qing was very strong, but now her senses exceeded her expectations, so the light in her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Junior Brother Xu, since you are going to Foundation Establishment, do you know anything about Foundation Establishment?"
Xu Qing glanced at Senior Sister Ding, and was a little wary of the fact that his cultivation base was seen. After shaking his head, he instinctively operated the protection of the ark, which added a touch of aura silently.
"I understand." Senior Sister Ding had a smile on her face, her expression full of joy.
"I don't know how many times my aunt has spread these things to me." After speaking, Ding Xue searched from the storage bag, took out three jade slips, and handed them to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was stunned. He knew that things about foundation building were extremely expensive in the sect. Looking at the three jade slips in front of him at the moment, although he was extremely moved, he understood that everything in this world was not good for nothing. It's all an exchange.
"How many spirit stones?" Xu Qing asked.
Ding Xue heard the words and smiled.
"Junior Brother Xu, you're out of the way. If it wasn't for you at sea, it would have been difficult for me to reach the Xishan Islands so smoothly. Based on our common experience at sea, this is nothing."
"Besides, you have taught me a lot of knowledge about plants and trees, and you will also make friends with other core disciples in exchange for your cultivation. I just took the lead. If you feel uneasy about winning, then if one day I meet When it's in danger, you can help me once." With that, Senior Sister Ding put the jade slip in her hand aside.
She didn't bother to bother, she smiled slightly towards Xu Qing.
"It's actually still me taking advantage of this, Junior Brother Xu, I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, Senior Sister Ding shook her body, and after Xu Qing opened the protection, she left the boat.
When she stepped on the shore, she was in a very happy mood, and was eager to share at the moment, so she took out the sound transmission jade slip while walking, and chatted happily with a few close friends of the sect.
Unlike men, women have a strong desire to share, especially when they meet someone of the opposite sex.
This is difficult for people who are struggling with human suffering, but it is the norm for very good core disciples who have been protected from childhood to adulthood.
Just as the winter in the port is different from the winter in Hongyuan, the world is also different for people.
In fact, after she came back, she had already told her girlfriend about the encounter with Xu Qing when she went out, and this time, it was only after the encouragement of several girlfriends that she had the courage.
"Look, this little Xuzi, this girl will definitely be able to take it."
When Senior Sister Ding was proud of her voice transmission, Zhao Zhongheng's figure in the distance finally appeared in Port 79, rushing towards her.
"Senior Sister Ding... The surnamed Xu didn't do anything to you. I'll help you!"
Before the person arrived, the voice had entered Ding Xue's ears.
"baffling!"
Ding Xue frowned, looked up at Zhao Zhongheng, looked impatient, and walked towards the distance.
Zhao Zhongheng hurriedly chased after him. Although Ding Xue ignored him, he still followed behind with a firm heart.
"Ding Xue, sooner or later, you will know that many people in your life are just passing birds."
"Only me, Zhao Zhongheng, will accompany you like the sea, never betray you. Once you get used to my company, you will understand how important I am. What are the passersby, no matter how many, me, and those passersby? Different!"
Zhao Zhongheng looked resolute, looked sideways at the ark where Xu Qing was, and was jealous in his heart, but when he thought of the strength of the opponent's cultivation and the horror of the sixth team captain, he didn't dare to fully expose this expression, he could only keep it in his heart. gritted teeth.
"Isn't it just having such a face, compared with my persistence and companionship, what is it, time can prove everything!"
Among the various emotional fluctuations in Zhao Zhongheng's heart, as the red sky in the sky dissipated, the sunset fell, and the dark sea lost its light, and suddenly there was a strange change at this moment.
Countless brilliant lights shone suddenly on the sea outside the harbor, as if reflecting the sky, the meaning of splendor was even more obvious, attracting the attention of all the ports of Seven Blood Boys.
Gradually, the sound of uproar came out one after another, and one after another figure walked out of the ark in various ports, and even many people on the shore found this scene and quickly watched it.
Outside the Seven-Blood Boy Harbor, at this moment, with the appearance of brilliant light, the light soon turned into a filamentous shape, and the beams flowed quickly in the sea, moving one after another, gradually forming into groups and densely packed.
Looking around, it seems that the entire sea outside the bay is filled with these beams, as if it will become a starry sky streaked by meteors.
It was even during this ray of light that the countless beams of light drifted through the gates of the harbors and filled all the harbors.
When this scene surprised the Seven-Blood Boy cultivator more and more, Xu Qing's eyes were full of strange light, and he stood on the boat and looked over.
He noticed that those emitting beams were some palm-sized snail-like creatures.
The bodies that they spread out seem to have nerves that can form a light source, and they flicker with each other, forming a beautiful picture of this scene.
"Ammonites… "
Xu Qing remembered the description on Haizhi, and his eyes lit up.
There are not many descriptions of ammonites in Haizhi, but it is pointed out that if the red glow has gold, then after the glow dissipates, this phenomenon will occasionally appear in the sea.
But Xu Qing knew from the thick book of herbs and trees left by Master Bai that ammonite is also a treasured medicinal material in the sea, especially in terms of reconciling and reducing the violent effect of medicine, it has miraculous effects.
At the same time, Senior Sister Ding and Zhao Zhongheng, who had not left in Port 79, also noticed this scene. Senior Sister Ding looked at the gorgeous sea and was a little lost.
Zhao Zhongheng on the side spoke quickly.
"Senior sister, I know what this is. This is an ammonite, also known as Xingziluo. Occasionally, it floats in the sea behind the red clouds. The whole body has no use, but only glows. Except for being beautiful, it is useless."
Zhao Zhongheng glanced at Xu Qing in the distance and spoke loudly.
Xu Qing's expression was as usual, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Zhongheng, who was referring to him. He didn't even listen to it carefully. At this moment, he was standing on the bow of the boat, and all his attention was on the sea.
In the undulating sea water, the ammonites emitting dazzling beams are entangled with each other and separated from each other. The light emitted by each is entangled in the entanglement, some form synchronization, and some appear chaotic.
Synchronous ones are often intertwined and never separated, while chaotic ones often touch each other slightly and then leave each other, as if they are looking for each other.
And Xu Qing is concerned about the latter.
The knowledge that Master Bai once imparted appeared in his mind, looking at the ammonites that were chaotically separated and constantly wandering, silently waiting for the opportunity.
Not all ammonites can be used as medicinal materials. What he needs to wait for is the kind of male ammonites that have not found a synchronization partner for a long time. Only this type of ammonite will eventually be transformed into helpful for practice due to some aberrations in the body. The medicine stone!
And Xu Qing's silence made Zhao Zhongheng even more proud, his chin raised high, his expression proud.
"This thing has a record in the sect, it is not very useful, and it will dissipate in a short time."
Senior Sister Ding looked at the ammonites, and when she heard Zhao Zhongheng's words, there was some disgust in her expression, and she opened her mouth.
"It's good to be able to shine. The splendor formed can not only shine on yourself, but also on the people watching. It's better than some black and no light."
Zhao Zhongheng raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.
But at this moment, at the bow of the Dharma boat, Xu Qing, who had been ignoring the words of the two, now his eyes narrowed, his right hand instantly raised, and he grabbed towards the sea.
Immediately, the surrounding water vaporized into water droplets, and each droplet formed in an instant and then gathered together. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a big hand composed of sea water. With amazing momentum, it grabbed the countless ammonites on the sea.
He grabbed one in an instant, and suddenly rolled back, the big hand returned to Xu Qing, and as it dissipated, the ammonite caught by it fell into Xu Qing's hand.
The palm-sized ammonite snail shell was filled with circles of chrysanthemum-like patterns, and the light was gradually dimmed on the body that spread out from the mouth of the shell.
"Fairy Wood"
And just when it was about to go completely dark, Xu Qing's right hand suddenly radiated icy cold, and this icy cold eruption directly enveloped the ammonite, causing it to be instantly frozen into a block of ice.
It completely retains its pre-dark state.
Looking at the ice cube in his hand, Xu Qing showed a happy smile on his face. After carefully putting it away, he continued to observe the sea.
At the same time, in the 79th port, there were seven or eight people who shot like Xu Qing. These seven or eight people obviously knew about the pharmacological value of ammonite, so they quickly shot to catch those who met the requirements.
Not only them, but also some disciples in other ports took action, and even some figures flew out from the mountain, went straight to this place, and began to capture.
There are especially many monks from the second peak.
This scene seemed to slap an invisible slap on the face of Zhao Zhongheng, who had just said that this thing was useless.
Senior Sister Ding also saw all this, and she was curious in her heart, and hurriedly approached Xu Qing until she reached the berth where Xu Qing's Fazhou was, and she spoke quickly.
"Junior Brother Xu, why would someone capture this ammonite?" She said, getting used to Xu Qing's character, she took out a spiritual ticket and gave it to her.
"Male ammonite will be transformed into a rare medicinal material just before death, which is of great help to practice."
Xu Qing didn't ask for the spiritual ticket, but still explained it to Ding Xue.
Especially when he remembered the foundation-building jade slip that the other party gave for free before, so he spoke in detail.
"Ammonite, also known as Xingzi and Snake Stone, is a soft-bodied foreign body cephalopod. It belongs to the crestless organisms. It is named after the chrysanthemum pattern of the snail shell. When they go out to sea, every time they go out, they will attract Hongxia, red blood and gold. They are distributed in the forbidden sea of Nanhuang Continent. The time is uncertain and the traces are hard to find. Therefore, they are rarely seen in the inland. The method of white turbidity can help the spirit to change the tide."
"The nature is sweet, cold, and slightly poisonous, and it can calm the mind. With the method of yin and yang polarization, and with shell water, it can refine the elixir of elixir."
"However, in new pharmacological techniques, this chrysanthemum is often used as a parasitic body. Taking its special spirit, it becomes a natural furnace, which can feed good elixir. At the same time, the method of reconciliation is better, and it can neutralize the violent effect of medicine."
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he continued to stare at the sea, looking for ammonites that could be captured.
Senior Sister Ding, who was on the side, didn't understand a little, but she vaguely felt that Xu Qing's words were very powerful, so she looked at Xu Qing with a strong look in her beautiful eyes, and asked quickly.
"Then why do they glow?"
"That's because during the breeding season, male and female ammonites float to the surface and attract the opposite sex by emitting different undulating lights."
"Their rays also come out because of this. After touching each other, if the rays of both sides are synchronized, they can mate. If the rays of male ammonites cannot be synchronized, they will be rejected by female ammonites. In the end, if they cannot find a synchronized female, they will be able to mate. Die away."
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he grabbed his right hand and collected another ammonite that met the requirements.
Senior Sister Ding is full of admiration. She knows that Xu Qing is busy now, so she no longer asks questions, but observes and studies.
Every time Xu Qing made a move, she would pay attention. After a while, she also saw the way and started to help.
Xu Qing didn't need help, but for the sake of the foundation-building jade slip, although she felt a bit of a drag, she didn't say much, leaving Senior Sister Ding busy.
Time passed, and as more and more disciples took action, the night passed.
When the morning was getting brighter, all the entangled ammonites on the sea surface of the Seven Blood Boys port went away one after another and returned to the bottom of the sea. Only the male ammonite corpses that had not been taken away were left floating in the dark, visible to the naked eye. After rotting, it turned into a part of the forbidden sea.
After a busy night, Senior Sister Ding, who was obviously happier, also chose to leave at this moment.
After her graceful figure, Zhao Zhongheng followed with a bitter face.
He looked at the back of Senior Sister Ding in front of him, and while his eyes showed desire, he also swore silently in his heart.
"Look, Ding Xue, sooner or later, you will be touched by me."
