It gets dark earlier in the north than in the south, and the same goes for dusk.
It came quickly and left quickly, making way for the night.
Because the white snow hates the sun, and the sky hates the dusk.
So soon the sky turned dark.
It’s just that the length of the night is not enough to miss me...
Xu Qing stood in front of the tent at the camp, staring into the dark night and looking in the direction of Nanhuang Continent.
This place is too far away from Nanhuang Continent.
"I wonder how Chen Feiyuan is doing, and how Tingyu is doing now. With them here, there will be no lack of worship at the teacher's grave." Xu Qing murmured and walked into the tent of the residence.
After sitting down cross-legged, he sighed and closed his eyes.
After a long time, the turmoil in his mind calmed down, and then he took out the clay vial.
"I hope it can be useful." Xu Qing put the clay bottle aside, took out the black iron stick that had been with him for many years, and gently stroked it with his right hand.
He knows every bit of the sharpness of this iron sign, and he masters every detail.
A teacher in the slum once said that the older a person gets, the more he misses the past. Xu Qing feels that this is not absolute because he is not old, but he also misses the past.
No matter it is an old person or an old thing, as long as it has helped him, he will never forget it.
With such emotion, Xu Qing lowered his head and opened the small clay bottle, put the black iron stick in along the mouth of the bottle, and even radiated his senses into the iron stick to feel the changes inside.
Soon, Xu Qing felt a trace of golden mist emanating from the small clay bottle.
The mist swayed and penetrated along the black iron stick, but more often it wandered around the iron stick, entangled in circles, and slowly nourished it.
This process was not short, and a full night passed. When the sky outside became bright, all the golden mist wrapped around the iron sign dissipated.
They are all integrated into the iron sign.
Xu Qing took out the iron pick, held it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, looking at every inch carefully. After fully exploring it, Xu Qing's expression showed a happy smile.
Most of the cracks that once appeared on the black iron signature were repaired overnight. The most important thing is that the material itself seems to be different from before.
It seems to have been refined again.
In this regard, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect has more say, so when Xu Qing summoned him, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect saw this scene, felt it very seriously, and finally spoke with certainty.
"Master, I can feel that the material of the iron sign is changing. Just like a monk is promoted, it is also being promoted. If it goes on like this, it will undergo transformation, from a heavy treasure to a magic weapon. And because it has been blessed by me, once it becomes a magic weapon
The weapon is no less powerful than the spiritual weapon!
It can even be said that it is a spiritual weapon, but it needs more nourishment."
Xu Qing nodded, thinking in his eyes.
The price of Gengjin Qi in this chapter is very expensive, but being able to buy it is naturally the easiest way to obtain it. However, Xu Qing feels that the quantity sold outside should not be very large.
"Let's look for it first. In addition, I will go to Taichu Liyouzhu in the near future to see if I can get this Gengjin Qi from the previous chapter."
Xu Qing made up his mind, carefully put away the iron sign, closed his eyes and meditated.
Soon the sky became bright, Xu Qing opened his eyes and walked out, looking for the Gengjin Qi in the entire city.
Indeed, as he judged, this strange aura from Taichu Liyouzhu was not unsold, but the quantity was indeed very small. Xu Qing searched for a day and only collected three more wisps.
According to his analysis, to complete the promotion of the Black Iron Sign, he needs at least thirty strands.
With this thought in mind, as dusk approached, Xu Qing was on his way to the station. He saw the Taoist altar again, saw the cross-legged old man on it, and heard the Tao of vegetation from his mouth.
"Night Corpse Morning Glory, also known as Poison Mountain Root Vernonia, is the stem and root of Vernonia tenuifolia, a plant in the Compositae family. It is a woody vine that grows in Corpse Yin ravines, cold streams or in jungles..."
The vicissitudes of the voice echoed in all directions, but the number of casual cultivators outside the Taoist altar was less than yesterday, with only a dozen or so today.
Xu Qing listened for a while and left silently. This time before leaving, he paid a spiritual stone.
In this way, time passed, and half a month passed quickly.
In the past half month, more and more disciples from various sects of the human race have come to Taichu Liyou Pillar, making Taichu City more lively, and there are also many more monks climbing Taichu Liyou Pillar.
However, the one ranked first is still Li Ziliang from Taisi Xianmen. His height has reached almost 800 feet, and the higher he goes up, the more difficult it seems.
During this period, this person sent three more letters of challenge to the alliance, and the challenger was still Xu Qing.
Xu Qing ignored it. During this period, except for occasionally purchasing some Gengjin auras, he spent most of his time at the Taoist altar. Stopping when he returned every day had become a habit for him.
Until he heard the old man begin to explain the method of alchemy, he simply sat by the altar to listen.
At that time, Master Bai only taught him grass and trees, and not much about the art of alchemy. Xu Qing later gradually explored and learned it by himself.
Although there were some achievements, overall, Xu Qing was still lacking in alchemy, so he listened very seriously. Such days were filled with calmness, which often made Xu Qing feel a little dazed, as if he had returned to the scavenger camp.
At the same time, he also felt that the old man with an unattractive appearance had extremely high attainments in alchemy. Because of many key points, Xu Qing would feel a sudden enlightenment with just one word from the other person.
"The method of transforming the two poles of yin and yang is actually just one of them. The path of alchemy is broad and far-reaching. So far, the human race has more than 6,000 alchemy techniques."
"I don't recommend teaching these alchemy techniques, because they are just external methods, so at most they only teach the transformation of yin and yang. Therefore, the method is not more about refining, but the use of vegetation."
"You must remember that there are thousands of roads, but the road ultimately leads to one."
"So in the art of alchemy, the foundation is the most important. Later, you need to figure out the suitable technique by yourself. After all, the simplest mixture can be equally effective."
"And the so-called refining, in my opinion, is actually a way to better stimulate and blend the medicinal effects of herbs."
"Although these methods are alchemy techniques, I hope that the human monks who listen to my alchemy methods can understand the essence, so that they can achieve future achievements."
Xu Qing looked dazed as he listened to all this, as if the old man in front of him had become Master Bai.
He instinctively sat upright and remembered all this instinctively. At the same time, during this study, he gradually felt that he had a clearer understanding of alchemy and vegetation.
My own attainments in alchemy of plants and trees have been significantly improved, and I have a system as a support.
His foundation was built by Master Bai and is extremely solid.
The subsequent self-study was mixed and gradually became chaotic. It was because of his previous foundation and his focus on the poison path that he could barely maintain his alchemy system from collapsing.
And this time's study was like eliminating the bad and retaining the good, which made Xu Qing gradually have a direction in Alchemy.
According to what Master Qi said when he took Xu Qing to Ghost Emperor Mountain, Xu Qing's heart now has a "god" again, a "god" that illuminates the direction of his alchemy path.
This made Xu Qing very happy. He had not been so happy for a long time.
The growth of knowledge gave him a very fulfilling feeling, but accidents always appeared unexpectedly, interrupting Xu Qing's study.
There was one thing he needed to deal with.
The cause of the matter was some minor conflicts. The Eight Sects Alliance Xuanyou Sect and Qixuetong each had several disciples who had conflicts with Taisi Xianmen. In fact, this was more or less related to Xu Qing.
During this period, he repeatedly ignored Taisi Xianmen Li Ziliang's challenges, causing a lot of rumors. These remarks naturally made the disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the occurrence of friction is difficult to avoid.
This was the case this time. Several disciples of Xuanyou Sect and Qixuetong were detained by Li Ziliang of Taisi Xianmen during the friction between them, and they were very ruthless.
He also informed the Eight Sects Alliance to name Xu Qing to apologize and lead the party.
This is obviously to force Xu Qing to fight with him.
This matter also spread quickly, making most of the disciples of various sects here in Taichu Liyouzhu know about it, and they all paid attention to the matter with the mentality of watching the excitement.
After all, Xu Qing didn't accept the challenge before. To people who didn't know Xu Qing, this was obviously a cowardly behavior to avoid fighting. But now that Li Ziliang was doing this, they wanted to see if Xu Qing would continue to avoid it.
"It's a bit annoying." Xu Qing frowned when he found out about this. Naturally, he was not annoyed by the disciples of the alliance, but by Li Ziliang of Taisi Xianmen.
Xu Qing could clearly see the opponent's intention to establish his power and attract the sword holder's attention.
This idea cannot be wrong, but to detain and force him to fight in order to achieve his goal is a bit excessive, and once the matter is over, it means an abnormality.
Xu Qing will think deeply about abnormal things.
For example, does the opponent's multiple challenges have other purposes?
But no matter what the purpose, the opponent seemed not ready, so he just forced himself to accept the challenge, rather than fighting to the death. This made Xu Qing feel that the opponent most likely wanted to test his strength.
Whether it was a slum, a scavenger camp, or the methods of dealing with things he learned in his sect, Xu Qing had only one way to deal with such a situation.
That means not giving the opponent a second chance to strike, and killing him the first time.
What he dislikes the most is that he cannot kill after the fight. After all, from the analysis, there is a high probability that the opponent is malicious. In this case, hatred will definitely be formed.
If the other party can continue to grow, Xu Qing will feel that it is a hidden danger.
So Xu Qing took out the jade slips and sent a message to the ancestor to inquire.
"Ancestor, killing is not allowed within the area of Taichu Liyouzhu. Does this area refer to the entire territory or this city?"
After a while, the ancestor responded quietly.
"This city, you kid... forget it, just take care of it."
Xu Qing nodded and clasped his fists towards the old man who was talking about the plants and trees outside the Taoist altar. He knew that the other man would not pay attention because during this period, the old man just told the story without asking or paying attention to anyone below him.
But Xu Qing attaches great importance to etiquette. After bowing at this moment, his body swayed straight into the sky, as fast as thunder, directly outside the city, stood in the air, and made a faint sound.
"Li Ziliang, it's up to you to accept the fight of life and death."
As soon as the voice came out, the entire Taichu City and the disciples of all sects instantly went into an uproar.
