Xu Qing is not stingy about the spiritual stones needed for his practice, but his life is very frugal.
Even if there was a big harvest, it was just three more eggs for breakfast.
Therefore, he naturally knows quite a lot about the wanted criminals in the main city. Even if the wanted criminal Yu Jian will be updated every time, he will carefully remember it in his heart.
After all, no matter how few spirit stones are, they are still spirit stones, and if you are lucky, you can open more items from the other party's storage bag.
So at this moment, he recognized the identity of the corpse in front of him at a glance. The other party came from a certain pirate organization at sea and was worth fifteen spirit stones.
Such a sum of spirit stones is nothing to Xu Qing today, but it can be imagined that it is a great wealth for the dumb boy.
Such wealth, the other party actually gave it to him directly...
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the dumb boy left.
He could naturally see that the other party was waiting for him here for... It seemed that he was sending the wanted criminal here.
"Is there a fraud?" Xu Qing murmured, ignoring the wanted criminal under his feet, walking towards the distance, and soon his figure disappeared on the street.
After his figure was gone, the body of the wanted criminal left on the ground attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, and most of them avoided it, but there were still some disciples who saw the corpse and their eyes flickered, observing that they were about to approach.
But just as they approached, a small but agile figure like a wild dog rushed from a side alley and went directly to the corpse.
Squatting there, his eyes showed ferocity, as if he was protecting food, and he looked fiercely at the people around him who were approaching.
His teeth seem to have been grinded, which is different from normal people. At this moment, he opened his mouth, and his jagged teeth exuded murderous intent, causing the monks walking around to stop.
After a confrontation, the surrounding disciples swept the traces of being bitten to death on the corpse, and chose to retreat one by one. Only this dumb boy squatted beside the corpse in a daze, with some rare daze and depression in his expression.
In this way, time passed, and soon dusk came, and the young man beside the corpse remained there. It was only when darkness enveloped him that he silently grabbed the corpse and dragged it into the alley, all the way back to his residence along the corner of the wall.
The place where he lives is not the ark, but a simple hut.
The monthly fee here is much lower than the berth. At this moment, he approached cautiously. Instead of going through the door, he walked in a circle and pushed open a block of bricks from the back wall and got in.
In the hut, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and squatted silently in the corner in the dark, so that his eyes could see the window and the door at the same time. After a long daze, he looked down at the body of the wanted criminal on the side, and the depression in his expression became even stronger. .
For a long time, he hesitated and touched the body of the wanted criminal.
It seems that before this, he hadn't checked the leather bag of the wanted criminal, but now he took it, opened it and looked at it with surprise in his eyes, and actually took out three spirit stones.
He immediately held it, looked around vigilantly, and made sure that there was no obstacle before putting away the spiritual stone, and carefully counted his accumulation, a total of seventy-seven.
After counting, he squatted there, his expression became depressed again, and finally took out a rough stone, opened his mouth and began to grind his teeth to make them sharper.
It's just that he has only the third layer of condensing air now, and he can't notice it at all. At this moment, outside his hut, Xu Qing is standing there, coldly watching the dumb boy's every move.
Xu Qing's character is vigilant and cautious, even if the opponent's cultivation base is not as good as himself, he is still on guard.
In his opinion, there are only two situations in the daytime affairs, one is really giving him a gift, and the other is that he has no purpose.
In this cruel and troubled world, anything can happen, so he will not ask for this gift, but hide it after leaving, and observe secretly to decide whether to take action.
"Is it because of his fear of me when he met me a few days ago, so he came to please?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the teenagers in the house, opened the door, and walked in.
The moment he walked in, the boy in the corner immediately bared his teeth, and his whole body seemed to explode, but after seeing Xu Qing clearly, his body trembled, and the fear in his eyes was so intense that he did not dare to move.
Thinker
"What did you see?" Xu Qing threw a jade slip, stood at the door, and spoke slowly.
The moonlight fell on him, reflecting his shadow into the house, very close to the little mute.
The little dumb body pressed against the wall tightly and took the jade slip.
This captain once asked about things he would never say in death, but at this moment he didn't hesitate. He immediately stamped what he wanted to say and handed it to Xu Qing cautiously.
Xu Qing took the jade slip, and after the influx of spiritual energy swept over, his expression changed in vain.
A cold glow appeared in his eyes, and after giving Little Mute a meaningful look, he took out eight spirit stones and threw them, then turned and left.
Seventy-seven plus fifteen plus eight equals one hundred, which is the amount that can be exchanged for one Dharma ark.
Until he walked away, Xu Qing's right hand still held the jade slip tightly. As he returned to the berth, the moment he stepped into the Dharma boat, he squeezed his right hand, and the jade slip became fly ash.
Then he walked into the cabin with a blank face, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to practice.
The night passed.
The next morning, Xu Qing went to Zhang San's place as usual, and sent the crossbow he obtained from the King Kong Sect. Under Zhang San's refining, the crossbow was placed on his ark and became the One of the most powerful killers after divinity.
"This thing is a treasure. Xu Qing, your magic boat, as long as you get a foundation-building power source, you can be promoted from boat to magic boat." Before Xu Qing left, Zhang San said with a smile, then swept left and right, whispering. Outgoing words.
"Xu Qing, Dabi, whether you will go or not, it should be the past few days. I am going to do a vote. If you go too, we can join hands."
"I will go." Xu Qing nodded.
Zhang San laughed and said nothing more.
Xu Qing clasped his fists and left. Walking in the port, he noticed that the shops of each peak were filled with disciples of the Seventh Peak, and the number of people was much larger than usual.
At the same time, there are more Dharma boats returning from the harbor than before, and he even saw several very unfamiliar faces on the way, but any one's cultivation base fluctuates, at least it looks like eight or nine layers of condensed energy.
There are even a few who have reached the Great Perfection just like him...
Obviously, most of the disciples of the Seven Blood Boys either chose to retreat and practice, or they have been wandering in the sea.
As for the suffocating energy on their bodies, Xu Qing could clearly feel the coldness that came from his bones at a glance.
At the same time, he also heard that the Lingbei people of the Xishan Islands seemed to be very anxious during this period of time. While constantly asking for help from other aliens, he also sent messengers to Qixuetong for peace talks many times.
This made Xu Qing think of what the captain said and his own guesses.
"Then the real target will be the mermaid?" Xu Qing murmured. That night, a familiar visitor came from outside his boat.
"Xu Qing Xu Qing, you didn't tell me when you came back, didn't you treat me Huang Yan as a brother?" Outside the boat, Huang Yan shouted loudly, with some unhappiness in his expression.
Xu Qing heard the voice outside, walked out of the cabin and saw Huang Yan, with a smile on his face.
He has known a lot of people since he was in Seven Bloods, but only a few of them felt real to him, and Huang Yan was one of them.
"I came back to deal with some trivial matters." Xu Qing explained.
Huang Yan didn't mind either, he laughed and sat on the shore. Just like the last time he arrived, he didn't choose to board the boat. After sitting down now, he spoke in a low voice.
"Xu Qing, I learned a big secret today!"
Hearing the word "secret", Xu Qing felt a little wary. He thought of the captain's secret worth a hundred spirit stones.
Without waiting for Xu Qing to speak, Huang Yan quickly spread the words with some show off.
"Do you feel that something is wrong with the seventh peak this time? Although the goals and destinations were announced in advance in previous years, I always feel that this time is too deliberate, with the urine of the seventh peak... I think the location of this time's big competition According to my analysis and investigation, I concluded that the target this time is the Mermaid!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed when he heard the words, and after glancing at Huang Yan's expression, he didn't need the other party's reminder this time, and he showed a surprised expression.
Seeing Xu Qing's expression, Huang Yan felt relieved and very proud.
"Haha, actually it's nothing, these are what my senior sister told me, and now I have nothing to say with my senior sister."
"I started investigating the information on Mermaid Island after I knew the news, and I hurried over to share it with you when I knew you came back. How about it, I'm a brother enough." Huang Yan said, threw a jade slip to Xu Qing, and spoke again in a low voice.
"After my investigation, I was particularly surprised. This mermaid is too fat. There are four islands in their clan, namely Yin Meiqi, Youzang Island, Kuying Island and Mia Island. Each island contains a lot of treasures. , After my intelligence investigation, the most valuable ones, the ones that few people know about, have all been summed up on this jade slip by me."
Xu Qing caught the jade slip, and his spiritual energy poured in to check it. Huang Yan, who was beside him, seemed to have his back down, shaking his head and opening his mouth.
"It took me a lot of thought to get this. I told you that there is an armor on the island of Mia, called the armor of Mia, hidden in the Mia volcano, which has been continuously forged by the mermaid for thousands of years. A magic weapon level armor, this thing is too valuable, but unfortunately we can't get it."
"Also on Yin Meiqi, there are a lot of mermaid tears. This is comparable to a magic pill, but compared to these, Yin Meiqi still has a drop of Yin Meiqi's tears, which is the most valuable thing. Yin Meiqi is the name of the ancestor of the mermaid family. Tears were his last drop before he died and were set in the crown."
Speaking of which, Huang Yan took out two eggs, threw one to Xu Qing, held one and punctured it, sucking and opening his mouth.
"As for the hidden island, it is a cemetery with countless treasures buried in it, but the most meaningful of them is a feather, do you know whose feather belongs to Yanhuang, do you know who Yanhuang is? But the king of the restricted area in the west of the truth mountain range of Nanhuangzhou is also the king of Nanhuangzhou, why it is called Nanhuangzhou, you should know."
"Finally, there is Kuying Island. That island is also amazing. It is said that there are multiple pill vaults, and there should be a lot of foundation building pills stored in it. The senior sister went there to grab it. I guess this time, the competition will be fierce."
"These are nothing. There is a treasure worth 500,000 spirit stones on Kuying Island, called the spirit lamp!"
"This spiritual lamp is the foundation-building sacred object of the mermaid tribe. It is placed in the foundation-building tower in the main city of Kuying Island."
"There is a special foundation building place for mermaid monks, and it is the same as our Qixuetong's foundation building place with a hundred spirit stones per hour, but we heard that it relies on the blood of divinity to protect the disciples' foundation building, but The mermaid people rely on this lamp."
"This kind of magic tool to protect disciples and build foundations, in fact, every major clan has it, and the types are different, and the mermaid clan actually has a general effect, so those major clans don't like it."
"The reason why it is said to be worth 500,000 spirit stones is because after the senior sister went to snatch it away last time, she extorted 2 million spirit stones from the mermaid tribe. Later, the mermaid tribe bargained for 500,000 spirit stones and bought it back. .
By the way, it is rumored that there are clues about the temple hidden in this spiritual lamp, but no one has found it for so many years. Senior sister couldn't find it at the beginning, so she sold it back. Specifically, everything is in the jade slip. You can look back to yourself. Check it out. "
Xu Qing was a little silent when he heard this. He felt that he was still worrying about tens of thousands of spiritual stones, but the other party opened and closed his mouth and it was millions of spiritual stones.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable. After taking a sip of the egg and taking a sip, he still couldn't suppress the thoughts that rose in his heart and turned into a heartbeat.
After Huang Yan finished speaking, he started chatting about him and his senior sister again.
Basically, he was talking and Xu Qing was listening. This way of getting along was very strange, but Huang Yan felt very comfortable.
Until it was very late, Huang Yan, who had finished drinking the eggs, patted his stomach and got up to leave. Before leaving, he burped and said in a low voice.
"Xu Qing, I know you probably won't, but I still want to remind you that this time, don't be foolish to fight for the first place, then the identity of the core disciple is not important, resources are the key during the competition, you will be there when the time comes. understood."
"Actually, not many of you care about rankings, they are all running to make a fortune. In addition, I told you that only the two of us know my news. I treat you as a brother, so don't spread the word, we will go there when the time comes. Which island, take whatever you want, and send it first!"
Xu Qing nodded.
Huang Yan patted his belly contentedly and walked away, taking out the jade slip while walking, and giving his senior sister daily sweet words.
Watching Huang Yan go away, Xu Qing sat on the boat and turned to look at the forbidden sea, his eyes fell on the distant place.
At this moment, the waves came gently, making the boat shake slightly.
In this shaking, under the moonlight, his shadow fell on the board of the ship beside him, and part of it spread into the sea, merging with the black sea water.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze from a distance, swept across the shadow, his eyes flashed slightly, and the words in the jade slip given by the little mute appeared in his mind.
"It's sleeping..."
Time passed, and in the early morning three days later, the identity tokens of all the disciples of the Seventh Peak of Seven Blood Boys shook at the same time, and there was a majestic voice within them, which spread into the minds of all the disciples.
"All the disciples participating in the competition, within a quarter of an hour, gather at the central altar to line up, and the seventh peak competition will start immediately!"
