Time passes slowly,
Today's red glow is more vivid than in the past, and even after looking at it for a long time, there will be an indescribable sense of weirdness, as if someone is painting with blood and smearing the sky.
Faintly inside, there seemed to be wisps of golden threads lingering, this scene even attracted the attention of the Seven Blood Boy's Seven Peaks, many monks living on the mountain walked out of the cave, looking at the sky, their eyes full of wonder.
Many disciples from various ports in the harbor also noticed all this.
After checking it many times, he accelerated his explanation of the question raised by Senior Sister Ding, put the spirit ticket of the hundred spirit stones in his pocket, and looked up at the sky again.
"This scene seems to have been described somewhere." Xu Qing recalled the Haizhi he had read in his mind, looking for the familiar source.
The red glow did not last long, slowly dissipating, as if it wanted to keep the sunset with its beauty, but the sun on the horizon was still setting.
But before leaving, Senior Sister Ding looked at Xu Qing carefully a few times, and suddenly her eyes froze, she hadn't paid much attention to Xu Qing's cultivation before, but after observing it at this moment, her expression changed a little, and she immediately spoke.
"Junior Brother Xu, your cultivation...... Are you reaching the Great Perfection?" Senior Sister Ding's face showed disbelief.
Although Xu Qing was hidden, it was obvious that the exercises practiced by Ding Xue were a little different, and she seemed to be able to perceive other people's spiritual energy more clearly, so after feeling Xu Qing's cultivation fluctuations at this moment, 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 became brighter.
"Since Junior Brother Xu, you are going to build a foundation, do you know anything about foundation building?"
Xu Qing glanced at Senior Sister Ding, a little wary of his cultivation being seen, and after shaking his head, he instinctively operated the protection of the Dharma boat, giving it a touch of spiritual charm silently.
"I understand." Senior Sister Ding had a smile on her face and a look of joy.
"My aunt doesn't know how many times these things have been popularized by me." Saying that, 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 the matter of foundation building was extremely expensive in the sect, and at this moment, looking at the three jade slips in front of him, although he was extremely excited, he understood that everything in this world was not good for no reason, it was essentially an exchange.
"How many spirit stones?" Xu Qing asked.
Ding Xue smiled when she heard this.
"Junior Brother Xu, you can see the outside world, if it weren't for you at sea, it would have been difficult for me to reach the Xishan Islands so smoothly, with our common experience at sea, what is this thing?"
"Besides, you also taught me a lot of plant knowledge, and in addition, you will make friends with other core disciples in exchange for your cultivation, I just took the lead, if you feel uneasy if you win, then if I encounter danger one day in the future, you can help me once." Saying that, Senior Sister Ding put aside the jade slip in her hand.
Without further disturbing, she smiled slightly at Xu Qing.
"In this way, I actually took advantage, Junior Brother Xu, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Senior Sister Ding's body shook, and after Xu Qing opened the protection, she left the Dharma Zhou.
When she stepped on the shore, she was in a very happy mood, and she was eager to share it at the moment, so she took out the transmission jade slip as she walked, and chatted happily with a few girlfriends in the sect.
Unlike men, women usually have a strong desire to share, especially when they meet people of the opposite sex.
This is difficult for people who are struggling in the suffering of the world, but it is the norm for a good core disciple who has been protected since childhood.
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 best friend about meeting Xu Qing when she went out, and this time she came at the instigation of several best friends, and she had the courage.
"Look, this little Xuzi, this girl will definitely be able to take it."
When Senior Sister Ding was proudly transmitting the voice, Zhao Zhongheng's figure in the distance finally appeared in the Seventy-Nine Port and rushed towards her.
"Senior Sister Ding...... The one surnamed Xu didn't do anything to you, I'll help you!"
Before the person arrived, the voice had already reached Ding Xue's ears.
"Inexplicable!"
Ding Xue frowned, looked up at Zhao Zhongheng, a little impatient on his face, and walked into the distance.
Zhao Zhongheng hurriedly chased after him, although Ding Xue ignored him, but he still followed behind, extremely firm in his heart.
"Ding Xue, sooner or later, you will know that many people in your life are passers-by like birds."
"Only I, Zhao Zhongheng, will be like the sea, never leaving you, once you get used to my company, you will understand my importance, what are the passers-by, no matter how much, I am different from those passers-by!"
Zhao Zhongheng looked resolute, looked sideways at the Dharma boat where Xu Qing was, with strong jealousy in his heart, but when he thought of the strength of the other party's cultivation and the horror of the captain of the sixth team, he did not dare to completely expose this expression, so he could only grit his teeth in his heart.
"Isn't it just that face, compared with my persistence and companionship, what is it, time can tell everything!"
In the various emotional fluctuations in Zhao Zhongheng's heart here, as the red clouds in the sky dissipated, the sunset fell, and the dark sea that lost its light and turned into a strange change suddenly appeared at this moment.
Countless brilliant lights suddenly shone on the sea outside the harbor, as if reflecting the sky, and the meaning of the splendor was even more obvious, attracting the attention of all the ports of the Seven Blood Boys.
Gradually, the uproar came out one after another, and figures walked out of the Dharma boats in various ports, and even many people on the shore quickly looked over after discovering this scene.
Outside the Seven Blood Boy Harbor, at this moment, with the appearance of brilliant light, the light soon turned into filaments, flowing rapidly in the sea, constantly wandering one by one, gradually forming groups and dense packs.
Looking around, it seemed that the entire sea outside the bay was filled with these beams, as if it would turn into a starry sky streaking through meteors.
In the midst of this shining light, this countless beams of light floated past the gates of the harbor and permeated all the ports.
This scene surprised the Seven Blood Boy monks even more, Xu Qing's eyes were strange, and he stood on the Dharma boat and looked over.
He noticed that those emitting beams were some palm-sized spiral-like creatures.
Their spreading bodies seemed to have nerves that could form light sources, flashing with each other, forming this beautiful scene.
"Ammonite ......"
Xu Qing remembered the description on Haizhi, and his eyes lit up.
There are not many descriptions of ammonites in the sea records, but it is pointed out that if there is gold in the red clouds, then after the glow dissipates, this phenomenon will occasionally occur in the sea.
But Xu Qing knew from the thick plant and tree classics left by Master Bai that ammonite is also a precious medicinal material in the sea, especially in harmonizing and reducing the degree of violent medicinal effect, which has miraculous effects.
At the same time, Senior Sister Ding and Zhao Zhongheng, who had not yet left in Seventy-Nine Ports, also noticed this scene, and Senior Sister Ding looked at the gorgeous sea, a little distracted.
Zhao Zhongheng on the side quickly spoke.
"Senior sister, I know what this is, this is ammonite, also known as star snail, occasionally floating in the sea after the red clouds, the whole body has no use, it 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, he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Zhongheng, who was meaningful, and even he didn't listen carefully, at this moment he was standing at the bow of the ship, all his attention was on the sea.
In the undulating waters, the ammonites emitted with brilliant beams of light intertwined and separated from each other, and the light emitted by each of them was intertwined, some formed synchronization, and some were chaotic.
Synchronized ones are often entangled and no longer separate, and chaotic ones often touch each other slightly and leave each other, as if they are all looking for each other.
And what Xu Qing is concerned about is the latter.
He thought of the knowledge that Master Bai had imparted, looking at the ammonites that were chaotic and separated, 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 ammonite that lasts for a long time and has not found a synchronized partner, only this type will eventually turn into a medicinal stone that is helpful to practice due to some aberrations in the body!
And Xu Qing's silence made Zhao Zhongheng even more proud, his chin was raised high, and his expression was proud.
"This thing has records in the sect, it is of no use, and it will dissipate after a short time."
Senior Sister Ding looked at those ammonites, and when she heard Zhao Zhongheng's words, her expression showed some disgust and she spoke calmly.
"It's good to be able to shine, the splendor formed can not only shine on yourself, but also on those who are watching, better than some jet-black and not even a little 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 not paid attention to the words of these two people, froze his eyes at this moment, raised his right hand instantly, and grabbed it towards the sea.
Immediately, the surrounding water vapor turned into water droplets, and the drops formed in an instant and converged together, turning into a large hand made of seawater in the blink of an eye, with amazing momentum, towards the countless ammonites on the sea, grabbing it.
Grabbed one in an instant, and suddenly rolled back, this big hand returned to Xu Qing, and as it dissipated, the ammonite that was 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 dimming on the body spreading from the mouth of the shell.
And just when it was about to be completely dark, Xu Qing's right hand suddenly emitted icy cold, and this cold erupted and directly enveloped the ammonite, causing it to be frozen into an ice cube in an instant.
It completely retains its pre-dark state.
Looking at the ice cubes in his hand, Xu Qing had a happy smile on his face, carefully put it away, and continued to observe the sea.
At the same time, in the seventy-ninth port, there were seven or eight people like Xu Qing, and these seven or eight people obviously knew about the pharmacological value of ammonites, so they quickly took action to capture those who met the requirements.
Not only that, but there were also some disciples in other ports who took action, and even some figures flew out from the mountain, heading straight for this place and starting to capture them.
Among them, especially the second peak monks, there are many monks.
This scene seemed to be an invisible slap on Zhao Zhongheng's face, who had just said that this thing was useless, he was stunned for a moment, and he was very puzzled about this matter in his heart.
Senior Sister Ding also saw all this, was curious in her heart, and hurriedly approached Xu Qing, until she reached the berth where Xu Qing's Dharma Boat was, she quickly spoke.
"Junior Brother Xu, why did someone catch this ammonite?" Saying that, she was used to Xu Qing's personality, so she directly took out a spirit ticket and sent it over.
"The moment before death, male ammonites will be transformed into a rare medicinal material, which is of great help to practice."
Xu Qing didn't ask for the spirit ticket, but still explained it to Ding Xue.
Especially thinking of the foundation-building jade slip that the other party had given him for free before, he spoke in detail.
"Ammonite, also known as astrozo, snake stone, is a soft foreign body cephalopod, belongs to the crestless vertebrae organism, named for the snail shell chrysanthemum pattern, perennial spiritual medicine, likes to live in the crevices of the seabed rockery, every breeding season to go to sea to attract the summons, every time you go out, you will attract red clouds and red blood with gold, distributed in the forbidden sea of Nanhuangzhou, the time is uncertain, the trace is difficult to find, so it is rarely seen inland, its function can transform alien creatures, with the method of five white turbidity, it can assist the spirit to produce tidal changes."
"It is sweet, cold, and slightly poisonous, and can calm the nerves, and with the method of yin and yang polarization, it can be used to refine the spirit pill."
"However, the new pharmacology mostly uses this chrysanthemum as a parasitic body, taking the special nature of its spirit, and becoming a natural furnace itself, which can feed good elixirs, and at the same time, the method of blending is better, which can neutralize the violent medicinal effect."
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he continued to stare at the sea, looking for ammonites that could be captured.
Senior Sister Ding 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, her beautiful eyes showed a strong look, and she asked quickly.
"Then why do they glow?"
"That's because during the breeding season, male and female ammonites surface to the surface and attract the opposite sex by emitting different fluctuating light."
"Their light is also derived from this, after touching each other, if the light of both sides is synchronized, they can mate, if the male ammonite light cannot be synchronized, it will be disliked by the female ammonite, and finally if the synchronized female cannot be found, the light will disperse and die."
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he grabbed his right hand and collected another ammonite that met the requirements.
Senior Sister Ding was full of admiration, she knew that Xu Qing was busy now, so she stopped asking questions, but observed and studied.
Every time Xu Qing made a move, she would pay attention, and it didn't take long for her to see the way and start helping.
Xu Qing didn't need help, but for the sake of building the foundation jade slip, although he felt a little dragged down, he didn't say much, and let Senior Sister Ding be busy.
Time passed, and as more and more disciples took action, overnight passed.
When the morning dawned, on the sea surface of the Seven Blood Boy Harbor, all the intertwined ammonites went away and returned to the bottom of the sea, leaving only the body of the male ammonite that had not yet been taken away, floating, and after decaying visible to the naked eye, it turned into a part of the Forbidden Sea.
Senior Sister Ding, who had been busy all night but was obviously happier, also chose to take her leave at this moment.
And behind her beautiful posture, Zhao Zhongheng looked bitter and followed all the way.
He looked at the back of Senior Sister Ding in front of him, and while his eyes showed longing, he also swore silently in his heart.
"Look, Ding Xue, sooner or later, you will be moved by me."
