At this moment, the night wind blew, and the sea water flowed, gently patting around the canopy boat, squeezing out a lot of gray-black water foam along the hull.
It also made the boat shake slightly, making a crunching sound.
Inside the black canopy, Xu Qing was seriously refining alchemy.
As the herbs were taken out by him, either picking the leaves, squeezing the juice, or taking the core, they were cooked easily, and gradually in the stone bowl, more and more medicinal liquid was taken.
After checking the ratio and adjusting and correcting it, Xu Qing began to put in the horse clover, and just like that, when midnight came, as Xu Qing carefully dripped the juice of the spirit condensation leaf into the black medicinal solution.
The sound of crackling came out harshly, and even more green smoke was emitted, which was dispersed by Xu Qing's sleeves, and the medicinal liquid in the stone bowl directly turned into a white semi-solid, and there was a faint streamer inside it.
One-time success.
After careful examination, Xu Qing took out these liquids, kneaded them one by one into pills, and put them aside to dry them in the shade.
"Finally refined the white pill!"
Xu Qing murmured, and the scenes of learning from Master Bai appeared in his mind, and the picture of the scavenger camp was also reflected in his mind.
All this made the young man's heart slowly feel a little unquiet on this special day.
After a while, Xu Qing sighed lightly and looked outside the boat, it was pitch black.
Only the bright moon hanging high is reflected on the sea, shimmering.
The surroundings were silent, the sea breeze blew, and there was a hint of coolness in the humidity, making his hair float.
"Master Bai should have returned to the purple soil long ago."
"Cross and Luan Fang, I don't know how to ...... now"
"And in front of the tomb of the Lei team, will there be weeds......" Xu Qing whispered softly.
"And I, I haven't found the Destiny Flower yet."
Even if he is used to loneliness, even if he has adapted to the new environment, Xu Qing is just a teenager after all, he sat there silently, and returned to the residence of the scavenger camp in his memory, eating snake meat with a familiar old man.
Listening to the other party's trivial matters in the scavenger camp, watching the other party smoke a cigarette and drink wine.
The picture of memory is very clear.
Xu Qing's eyes hung down slightly.
"The teacher in the slum said that when a person starts reminiscing about the past, it means that his age is growing......" Xu Qing muttered, taking out a pot of wine from his skin.
He bought it during his daytime inspection.
Holding the wine jug, Xu Qing looked up at the bright moon in the sky, slowly raised it for a long time, respected the bright moon slightly, and drank it in one gulp.
From a distance, the young man on the boat was drinking a cup of respect for the bright moon and a cup of drinking alone.
The wine in the main city was stronger than the scavenger camp, and it was hot in the mouth, and it seemed to have a flame in the abdomen, burning the whole body, making Xu Qing's breathing slightly rapid, and after a while, he took a big sip again.
"Team Thunder, in the spirit of heaven, go all the way."
"Master Bai, I wish you good health and a long life."
"I wish myself well...... Happy birthday."
Xu Qing muttered and drank it again.
Today is a special day, his birthday.
Xu Qing, who looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old, is actually just fifteen at the moment, but compared with other peers who grew up safely, his experience has made him have to mature.
And today, as every year for many years, he is alone, silently blessing himself.
It's just that this year, there is more wine.
So, after drinking a pot, Xu Qing thought of his relatives.
They remember, even if he worked hard to recall, but it was still Mohu, this kind of Mohu made Xu Qing feel very uncomfortable, he didn't want to Mohu, but ...... Some things are uncontrollable.
For a long time, for a long time.
"Are you guys okay......" Xu Qing lowered his head and said.
The sea breeze blew, lifting his hair and blowing on his face, blowing everything away, and the trace of coolness gradually pulled Xu Qing back from his memories, making his eyes sharp again, and the expression on his face was cold again.
"Survive."
"If I can live better, if I still have the opportunity to see my parents...... It would be even better."
"So, I'm going to become stronger!" Xu Qing slowly raised his head, and the young figure in the moonlight, like a lone wolf, stared into the distance.
After a while, he turned around and walked back to the cabin, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice.
Time passes.
After his birthday, Xu Qing's life was on the right track, and for the next few days, in addition to inspections, he was alchemy and practice.
The cultivation of the Sea Transformation Scripture, although blessed with spirit stones, was still gradually slowing down, and now it was only when it had just broken through from the sixth layer to the seventh layer.
The further he goes, the slower his cultivation becomes, but this is only relatively speaking, in fact, compared to others, Xu Qing's cultivation speed is already extremely amazing.
At the same time, after reaching the seventh layer, Xu Qing could clearly feel that his combat power was almost the difference between heaven and earth, and now he was completely sure that he would kill him directly within thirty breaths in the face of himself who did not come to the Seven Blood Boys at the beginning.
Although there is still a gap compared with the ancestor of the Vajra Sect, Xu Qing is also sure to deal with it head-on.
"When I am stronger, I will kill the Vajra Sect Ancestor." He felt that although the other party was hindered by the rules of the Seven Blood Boys, he could not personally deal with him, but it was inevitable to borrow a knife to kill someone, so he had to hurry up and improve his cultivation to get rid of this threat.
In addition, Xu Qing's research here on Fazhou is also extremely thorough, and he analyzes the content of the jade slip very comprehensively, and after fully understanding his heart, his control of Fazhou has also reached an extremely flexible level.
As for the direction, he also made a decision and chose to be firm!
The reason for this is that on the one hand, the improvement of strength and protection is not easy to wear, but if it is not worn out, it means that it does not need to be repaired and the cost is reduced.
On the other hand, in this dangerous Seven Blood Boy main city, the Dharma boat was Xu Qing's only relatively safe place, he needed such a place to practice, rest, and refine alchemy.
Therefore, such a place must also have sufficient protection.
At the same time, in terms of elixirs, Xu Qing has also refined a lot these days, this is the case with white pills, and so is black pills.
According to the method he had used before, he not only refined the black pill, but also refined a lot of poisonous powder that had been used.
And every time he refined the alchemy, Xu Qing was extremely focused, plant pharmacology was a survival skill he learned very seriously, he cherished what he had learned, and had already engraved it in his bones.
As for the remaining herbs after each refinement, they were also carefully classified and placed in the cabin by him, which made his canopy boat densely packed with all kinds of herbs.
He was poisoned by erysipelas powder, because there were many people in the main city, and it was inconvenient for him to try to innovate, so Xu Qing never refined a new poison, but the materials accumulated a lot.
He planned to find an opportunity to go out and find a secret place to refine together.
In the past few days, the entire Murder Division is still searching for the stronghold of the night dove, and a large number of clues are reported every day.
Xu Qing could feel that the company was not far from closing the net.
And today, it was not the day he was on duty at night, but Xu Qing chose to take the initiative to apply and replace it with someone.
The duties of the Murder Catcher Division include night patrols, and each disciple will take their turn, but whenever they are on duty at night, everyone will be extremely vigilant.
So, as the outside world was getting dark, Xu Qing tidied up his clothes, put the poison powder in the pocket of his sleeve, placed the dagger and iron stick, and walked out of the Dharma boat.
The sunset outside has set, dusk is about to disperse, and the earth has lost its light in the dark sky, and drops of rain are slowly falling on the main city.
Xu Qing's figure walked in the dark, and in this rain, the whole person seemed to melt with the night and galloped forward.
At this moment, the wind blew and landed on Xu Qing's robe, making a rustling sound, the wind was cold, and a breath made people feel very refreshed.
It also dispels the hot flashes in the city, but it can't dissipate some special smells in the air.
From a distance, it seemed that every time he took a step, the water stains on the ground would ripple like flowers, like a lotus growing step by step.
Soon it was completely dark, the rain was even heavier, Xu Qing's figure quickly swept past the alleys, closed shops, avoiding some killing scenes, until midnight, he came to Banquan Road.
Looking at the open inn in the distance, in the rain, Xu Qing stood in a corner under the eaves, waiting silently.
A few days ago, his informant said that there was a wanted criminal named Qingyunzi.
The wanted jade slip states that this person was born in the Qingyun Sect, a small sect attached to the purple soil, condensed the ninth layer, ruthless, lustful, and slaughtered several female fellow disciples in his sect.
But Xu Qing did not choose to arrest him, because he had no grudge against him.
In this cruel troubled world, everyone has their own way of living, and Xu Qing can't control so much.
But the other party did something wrong.
Xu Qing's informant was supposed to appear in the downtown where the two met for the second time two days ago to find him to detoxify, but to this day, he has not shown up.
So Xu Qing went to look for it during the day.
Although the wind was strong, it could not dispel the unique smell of poisonous powder on the spirit coin, so Xu Qing easily found the woman's residence, and also saw the traces of the fight inside.
After waiting for an afternoon, he saw a person with a strong smell of poisonous powder and entered the inn.
The other party's appearance was consistent with the wanted jade slip, it was Qingyunzi.
So, today Xu Qing switched night shifts with others and came here to wait silently.
Naturally, you have to take care of your own informants.
