"If it is a living person, it may really be related to purple light...... But it may also be a trap."
Xu Qing's eyes were thoughtful and he pondered.
In the ruined city these days, he was deeply aware of the existence of those who were polluted by the aura of the gods and turned into strange beasts, each of which was extremely ferocious and powerful.
But perhaps because the forbidden area had not yet been completely formed, most of these strange beasts were asleep during the day.
Unless it was like the last time he obtained the bamboo slips, he broke into the outer area of their sleeping place.
Otherwise, be careful on weekdays, it's okay.
Compared to them, Xu Qing is more wary of living people, because sometimes people's hearts are more sinister than beasts.
So after thinking about it, his eyes slowly became cold, whether it was a living person or not, whether it was a trap or not, that area...... He was ready to go again.
However, when you go, you need to be fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing grabbed the bamboo slip in his hand.
In the past few days of practice, the changes in his body have given him some confidence, and he can't help but think of the introduction of practice in addition to the exercises in the bamboo slips.
Practice, inherited in the ancient years before the remnants of the gods arrived.
Although there have been changes now, the overall system is still the same.
It is divided into condensation, foundation building, pill formation, and primordial infant.
As for Yuan Ying's succession, perhaps the realm was too high, and there was no record on the bamboo slip, but it clearly pointed out the helplessness of the monk's practice.
Because the breath of the gods invades the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy is polluted, and this pollution is highly toxic to all things.
I don't know when everyone has called the breath of the gods alien.
Xu Qing knew very well that the cold he felt during his previous practice was actually due to the heterogeneity mixed in the spiritual energy he inhaled.
Once this heterogeneity accumulates in the body to a certain extent, it will alienate the monk, either die suddenly and become a blood mist, or turn into a strange beast without sanity.
And the area where the gods opened their eyes and looked at it, the concentration of heterogeneity instantly increased, which was actually just accelerating this change instantly.
Practice, there is danger.
But if you don't practice, in this end world full of divine breath pollution, people's lifespan is generally reduced, and evil diseases are frequent, just like living in the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, almost no one can die well.
Therefore, practice has become the only way after there is no choice.
So over the years, people have evolved generations of cultivation methods based on inheritance.
What is circulating now is that while absorbing psychic energy, exercises are used to separate the heterogeneous substances mixed in the psychic energy and compress them in a certain position in the body.
This position is called the catabolism point.
Therefore, separating the proportion of heterogeneity has become an important criterion for distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages of exercises.
And almost all of the high separation ratio exercises are controlled by large forces or families, which are their important resources, and this is actually the same regardless of whether the gods arrive or not.
According to the different practices practiced, the degree of separation of heterogeneity is different, and the area where the alienation points exist is also different.
But no matter what, as long as you practice, there will be heterogeneity, and alienation points will slowly form.
The alienation point is theoretically irreversible, although it can be resolved by some elixirs, but it also treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
As for the method of completely purifying the alienation point, the bamboo slip also mentioned a sentence.
In the end of the earth world, in addition to Nanhuangzhou, there was also a more majestic continent called Wanggu.
Although the origin of the human race there is also in the contamination of the divine aura, it seems that a way has been found to completely purify it.
But obviously this method is not quantifiable, and only extremely noble people can enjoy it.
Ordinary monks are hopeless and hard to find.
As for the largest number of low-level loose cultivators, it is even more impossible to obtain them.
Most of the loose practice exercises have a very low degree of separation, so not only is it difficult to practice, but the risk of alienation is also greater.
Although the risks of cultivation are so great, for most people, the figure of a monk is still common.
For example, Xu Qing, he knows that he can also be regarded as a casual cultivator.
Although according to the records on the bamboo slips, the monks of the end earth world are walking on a difficult and dangerous road of no return, just like mortals swimming to the deep sea, running to the unattainable shore.
But often before seeing the other side of the legend, they have already died of exhaustion.
But Xu Qing, who grew up in the slums, deeply knows that a conflict or a disease can make people lose their lives.
"So instead of worrying about alienation in the future, it's better to worry about whether tomorrow is still alive."
Xu Qing muttered, touched the scar on his chest, and looked at the sky outside the gap.
At this moment, it seemed that it was not far from dawn outside, and there were much fewer roars and shrill sounds.
"If the blood rain continues and Ziguang has not been found, we must consider leaving and going to other cities to find herbs." Xu Qing looked down at his wound.
Because of the permeatation of the divine aura and the continuation of the blood rain, almost all the items in the city were seriously polluted, and the herbs were also among them, and the resources were very expensive.
Xu Qing raised his hand and pressed it on the scar on his chest, and some blood oozed out.
His face was a little pale, he took a deep breath, took off the clothes in his leather jacket, wrapped it around his back, and tied his wounds, he cheered up and waited silently for dawn.
After a short time, the roar and sorrow of the outside world became less and less.
Until it completely disappeared, Xu Qing noticed through the gap that the sky outside was already bright.
Based on his past experience, he can go out at this moment.
But he didn't leave immediately, but stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body.
Until the warmth was over, he removed the stone debris blocking the gap, and with the help of the faint light from outside, he opened his leather bag and tidied it up.
A dagger full of rust was tied to his calf.
The jet-black iron skewer was placed in the most convenient position by him.
There was also a snake head, which he wrapped in linen, carefully opened it and checked it, and put it away carefully.
After doing this, Xu Qing closed his eyes, opened them after a few breaths, and his eyes were replaced by calmness.
He quickly slipped out of the gap and paused at the exit.
After vigilantly checking around, it was sure that there was no hindrance, Xu Qing rushed forward and arrived at the outside world as the sky gradually brightened.
It galloped forward.
Due to the continuous blood rain and dense clouds, the sun cannot be seen here at dawn, let alone strong sunlight.
The dim morning light was like a seriously ill old man covered in life spots, and his cloudy gaze seemed to still retain the frost of the night.
And the breath exhaled turned into the morning wind, blowing the smell of death, very cold and cold.
If you don't warm up, your whole body will tremble involuntarily when the wind blows.
But for Xu Qing, his body still retained its previous warmth, so it was not affected much.
At this moment, the speed did not slow down, and he went straight to the area where there was a suspected living person that he saw yesterday.
From a distance, in the empty city, Xu Qing's figure was like a leopard, jumping on the ruins of broken walls everywhere, without the slightest pause.
And accompanied him was a flock of birds flying in the sky, but they were located very high and difficult to catch.
While galloping, Xu Qing looked up at the birds in the sky and licked his lips.
He didn't know why, after the gods opened their eyes, all living beings were polluted, almost all died, including beasts, but only birds survived the most.
And these birds are the focus of his hunting to quench his hunger during this time.
At the same time, although the birds were also trapped in the blood rain, they seemed to instinctively be able to find some safe shelter, such as Xu Qing's cave, which was found by following the trail of the birds before.
This kind of shelter is actually not absolutely safe, but relatively speaking, it seems to be more easily ignored by those strange beasts and strange things.
Xu Qing discovered two places during this time, one was his stone cave, and the other was outside the city lord's mansion.
But at this moment, he just swept the sky, then retracted his gaze and locked a prescription of the city, getting closer and closer.
Soon, Xu Qing approached the area he saw yesterday, he did not go directly, but went around to find a high point.
After climbing up carefully, he lay down, motionless, his eyes narrowed as little as possible, and slowly looked down.
At a glance, Xu Qing's eyes were closed, and he saw the person from yesterday again!
The other party sat leaning against the ruins, neatly dressed and with normal skin.
Most importantly...... His demeanor, his body, and everything about him were exactly the same as what Xu Qing had hoped for yesterday.
It was as if the other party had not moved all night.
This is extremely unreasonable.
If the other party is a living person, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the danger that exists in the dark night of the city.
If the other party is dead, this uncontaminated corpse is the best food for those strange beasts, so it is impossible for it to exist until now.
Xu Qing was silent, and after thinking in his heart, he lay there motionless, growing up in the slums, he did not lack patience.
So just like that, under his careful gaze, time passed slowly, until noon passed, and the man remained motionless.
Xu Qing, who had been waiting for three hours, raised his right hand gently after pondering, and a stone was grabbed by him in his hand and shot out towards the place where the other party was.
This stone was fast and had a lot of impact, and when it landed on the figure in the ruins, it made a bang.
The figure shook and fell to the side like a corpse.
And the moment he fell, a ray of purple light was revealed on the ground where he had been sitting.
The moment he saw Zimang, Xu Qing's eyes showed a light and he was breathing rapidly.
He searched for these days, and what he was looking for was the purple light that he had seen descending on the city.
At this moment, he forcibly restrained the urge to pass immediately, and waited for a moment with difficulty, and after making sure that there was no hindrance, he rushed out.
The speed was so fast that almost all the power erupted, and the whole person was like a falcon, heading straight for the purple light.
After the rapid arrival, he grabbed Ziguang and shot backwards without hesitation.
The whole process was extremely fast, until he stepped back more than ten feet away, Xu Qing stopped panting and looked at the purple light he was holding in his hand.
It was a purple crystal, crystal clear, with a dazzling beauty.
Xu Qing's heart was pounding faster, and when he looked up, he saw the fallen corpse, which seemed to have lost the protection of purple light, and at this moment, the clothes were visible to the naked eye, and the skin instantly turned blue and black.
This scene made Xu Qing instinctively grab the purple crystal in his hand tighter, turned around and ran towards his hole, running fast.
Not long after running, Xu Qing's footsteps suddenly paused, and his expression was a little confused.
He lowered his head and unbuttoned his leather jacket and looked at his tied chest.
There was no blood oozing out there, but there were bursts of itching that emerged.
Xu Qing's eyes froze, he tore open the remaining clothes that were covering his scars, and his heart vibrated strongly when he looked at the wound.
He clearly remembered that when he checked in the morning, the wound had not healed and even darkened more, but now ......
Most of the scars on his chest had healed, and there was only a shallow scar left at the edge!
"This ......" Xu Qing breathed rapidly, and then looked at the purple crystal in his hand anxiously.
