Chapter 140: Depends on Your Fortune

Looking at the sea lizard Dharma Boat in front of him, waves were set off in Xu Qing's mind.

He had seen Foundation Establishment sea lizards.

And it was precisely because he had seen them that, seeing his own Dharma Boat refined by Zhang San into the shape of a sea lizard, he checked it from a sensory perspective. Although his Dharma Boat was still somewhat different from a real sea lizard, the aura was almost the same.

The fifty-zhang boat body, four limbs with sharp claws, a lifelike head, and a tail swaying slightly at the back.

These were exactly the same as a sea lizard.

What was different was the addition of fleshy wings.

Those fleshy wings were very large. Xu Qing estimated that after they were spread out, they were at least as long as the body. One could imagine that once they were flapped, they would inevitably cause a violent wind to whistle.

And the position of the cabin was on the back of the sea lizard. It was a three-story small building. It didn't look exquisite, but it gave people a sense of sturdiness.

"The Dharma Boats of the Seventh Peak are divided into four types: Boat, Ship, Warship, and Wheel. Your boat has thoroughly advanced to the level of a Dharma Ship, reaching the third rank. But because of the divine lizard skin and the Ju Ying flesh, some of its power far exceeds the surface."

Zhang San glanced at Xu Qing's shocked appearance from the side, feeling incomparably comfortable in his heart. He proudly raised his chin and looked at the masterpiece in front of him as he spoke.

"The lacking parts are the keel, some materials of the Dharma Ship itself, and the core power source. Although Ju Ying flesh is precious, the Captain gave too little, and the divinity within it is rootless. So I think if you can find a way to get the heart of a divine creature, this Dharma Boat will be even more valuable."

"However, the materials for a Foundation Establishment Dharma Boat are far more expensive than those for Qi Condensation, and the parts required for a Dharma Ship are also more complex. Basically, the total price for advancing one level with the lowest-level Foundation Establishment materials is also thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones."

"If you change to high-level materials like your Foundation Establishment sea lizard, advancing one level costs at least over one hundred and fifty thousand. I couldn't afford it... If it were even higher-level, it would be an astronomical price. So if you want your Dharma Ship to advance, you have to earn money, Xu Qing."

"In addition, the reason why a Foundation Establishment Dharma Ship is astonishing is that after reaching the eighth rank, it will possess a special ability related to the cultivator's Profound Radiance State. It's just that its function is to suppress the enemy's Profound Radiance State, and the better the ship's materials, the greater the suppression effect!"

Xu Qing's heart moved when he heard this.

Before, the Captain's activation of the Profound Radiance State made him feel intense urgency. Now, hearing the power of the Dharma Ship, a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

"Surprised? Otherwise, why would the Seventh Peak cultivators still strive to advance their Dharma Ships after reaching Foundation Establishment? You must know that outsiders call our Seventh Peak 'Boat Cultivators'." Zhang San smiled as he spoke.

"Also, considering that your Dharma Boat collapsed by half last time, this time I added a lot to the sturdiness and protection. Now, this Dharma Ship of yours is far more powerful than before."

"Whether it is sea navigation, flight, or diving, it can display astonishing power."

"Finally, I added a layer of outer shell to your Dharma Ship. The inspiration comes from sea lizard molting. Once your Dharma Ship encounters an unstoppable blow, the outer shell will shatter and collapse like a goddess scattering flowers. It will look as miserable as possible, so I estimate that others will not be willing to use magic power to take a second shot."

"But in reality, it can be recombined at your thought. But I am not very proficient in this technology yet, so it cannot be done many times. I judged that this boat of yours can support two disintegrations and recombinations."

"By then, whether you are feigning death or counterattacking, it will be unexpected."

Xu Qing looked at Zhang San and then at his own Dharma Boat. He could feel that Zhang San was truly trying his best to help him refine it. This point was very precious in the environment of the Seven Blood Eyes.

Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang San!"

"What's there to be polite about? I'm also investing. Seeing you and the Captain like this, I've invested correctly. So I also hope that the possibility of you two surviving will be greater. After all... I feel that you two are both quite crazy, but I predict the Captain will die faster than you." Zhang San sighed.

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment and asked a question.

"Is the material for the coffin prepared for the Captain still in this Dharma Boat of mine?"

"It is. That thing is good stuff. It was half destroyed last time, so the rest cannot be wasted." Zhang San coughed and looked at Xu Qing with a smile.

Xu Qing didn't speak, cupped his fists again, thought for a while, took out twenty thousand spirit stones from his body, and handed them over.

Zhang San was not polite either. The materials he used for this refining were far more than this. After putting them away, he waved at Xu Qing, and the two parted ways.

Xu Qing put away his Dharma Boat and looked at the distant sea, his heart full of anticipation.

"Tomorrow morning, go out to sea!" After Xu Qing made a decision in his heart, he left the Transportation Department. On the way, he was also calculating his spirit stones.

"Foundation Establishment cost too much. Now there are less than fifty thousand spirit stones in my pocket. Also, the Spirit Breath Lamp must be sold as soon as possible. Once it is sold, I will be rich."

While pondering, Xu Qing flew all the way to the Seventh Peak. At this moment, it was late, and there were no pedestrians in the main city. It looked empty, only malice spreading among the disciples at the mountain base in the night.

However, these had nothing to do with Xu Qing now. Killing wanted criminals was no longer enough for his needs, but his figure suddenly paused in mid-air when he flew to the halfway area of the main city.

Xu Qing lowered his head, looking at a person lying on the empty street below.

It was a young boy wearing a gray robe with a dog-skin coat inside. Blood had already soaked through the coat. Because it stained the Daoist robe, one could see that there seemed to be a fatal wound on his abdomen.

And the exposed body was also full of scars, as if he had experienced a brutal beating.

Especially his hands; all his fingernails had been forcibly pulled out, and along with them were his once serrated teeth.

It was precisely the Mute.

He was now severely injured and on the verge of death. His identity token was placed on his chest, and the contribution points on it were almost gone. According to the time, I am afraid that at the moment of dawn, he would be erased by the Seven Blood Eyes formation.

Xu Qing looked at the Mute from mid-air, walked down silently, stood beside the Mute boy, and lowered his head to look at the other party.

At this moment, the Mute was already in a deep coma, lying there. It seemed that he didn't need to wait for dawn to die. The pockets on his body were gone, and his Dharma Boat had also been taken by others.

And this method of making him near-death and placing the token on his chest was something Xu Qing knew very well was a common method used by many people at the mountain base, generally used for revenge.

It was very clear that the Mute was too cruel in the Homicide Department on weekdays, so he was retaliated against for this.

Looking at the Mute at this moment, Xu Qing thought of the other party's act of sending him wanted criminals and the behavior of the other party following him after returning from the grand competition that day, as well as that reminder about the shadow.

For a long time, Xu Qing picked up the Mute's identity token, transferred a spirit stone's worth of contribution points, then pried open the Mute's bloody mouth and threw in an elixir.

After doing all this, he grabbed the Mute's clothes and dragged him away. Arriving at the other party's dwelling, which was like a dog kennel, Xu Qing threw the Mute in.

Then he turned and left this place.

Being able to do these things in a chaotic world was already doing his best, and life and death were determined by fate. Whether he could survive depended on the Mute's own fortune.

Xu Qing left. He knew that the Mute had already woken up on the road, but he didn't care.

At this moment, after he left, the Mute boy opened his eyes with difficulty, his body trembling, staring at Xu Qing's departing figure for a long time before closing them again, his body curled into a ball.

Xu Qing returned to the Seventh Peak. When he saw his cave dwelling from afar, in the moonlight, he noticed a familiar figure sitting by the cliff outside the cave dwelling.

It was precisely Huang Yan.

He was sitting on the cliff, his two legs swinging back and forth, holding an egg in his hand, shaking his head and drinking it with great satisfaction. After noticing Xu Qing's figure flying from the sky, Huang Yan's eyes lit up and he immediately waved.

"Haha, you finally returned. I've been waiting for you for a long time." As he spoke, Huang Yan took an egg from his bosom and threw it over.

Xu Qing caught it and landed beside him. There was no difference from the past just because he was Foundation Establishment. He sat down as well, poked the egg open, and took a sip.

It was still that taste.

"I heard you reached Foundation Establishment, so I came to see you today. How is it? Am I amazing? I can go up the mountain whenever I want on this Seventh Peak now, and the formations don't block me." Huang Yan spoke proudly.

"The Second Prince is very good to you." Xu Qing smiled slightly. Regarding Huang Yan, Xu Qing had a lot of good feelings. In his heart, if the people he met on the Seventh Peak could really be called friends, Huang Yan could be counted as one.

Speaking of the Second Prince, the little fatty immediately patted his chest excitedly, making a thumping sound.

"That's a must. Let me tell you, Xu Qing, Senior Sister is very good to me now and even gave me a token. I can go find her anytime."

Xu Qing smiled and continued drinking the egg.

Just like that, in the moonlight, the two of them were the same as they were at the 79th Port. Xu Qing mostly listened, while Huang Yan kept describing how good Senior Sister was to him.

Until half an hour later, Huang Yan stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and smiled at Xu Qing.

"By the way, Xu Qing, I came here this time for another matter. I heard you took the Mermaid Clan's Spirit Breath Lamp. Do you want to sell it to me? I plan to give it to Senior Sister."

"Between brothers, I won't take advantage of you. I'll buy it for fifty thousand spirit stones, but I don't have that much right now and need a month to get it together. If you agree, then it's settled." Huang Yan looked at Xu Qing expectantly.

Xu Qing thought for a while and agreed.

Huang Yan was very happy when he heard this. Before leaving, he seemed to have remembered something, his expression became a bit more serious, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Xu Qing, I heard from Senior Sister that the sect is going to have a major event recently!"

"During the Mermaid Clan battle that day, the Seven Blood Eyes Ancestor broke through his cultivation and killed his way into the Sea Corpse Clan to establish his might. I am afraid there will be follow-ups to this matter. After all... the cultivation is different, so the pattern of the sea area will have to be re-divided."

"If it doesn't go well, there will be a war. This is a good thing. Every war is the same as the grand competition; it is an opportunity for everyone to get rich, just more dangerous, but the harvest is even greater." After Huang Yan finished speaking, he bid farewell and left.

Xu Qing looked at Huang Yan's back and then at the sea, his eyes narrowing.

"War, huh..." ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
