~11 min read 2,131 words

"Taboo?"

Xu Qing was stunned. He had never heard this term, nor did he know what Taboo was.

But soon, through the communication between the Golden Crow ancestor and Little Shadow, and their notification to him, Xu Qing knew about the existence of Taboo above magic treasures.

As for how the shadow knew these, the Golden Crow ancestor also asked curiously. The shadow's answer was that it didn't know why itself, it seemed that it knew as soon as it saw it.

At the same time, the shadow emitted strong emotional fluctuations, carrying incomparable desire, wanting to devour it.

This made Xu Qing thoughtful, but he didn't immediately agree to the shadow's request. Unless he had complete certainty, he wouldn't easily give such a treasure to the shadow to absorb.

It was hard to say whether the other party would rebel during the absorption process, so Xu Qing pondered, and amidst the shadow's reluctance, put away the wooden box.

Then he glanced at the shadow and suddenly spoke.

"If you perform well, I will consider letting you absorb it in the future."

The shadow immediately transmitted excited emotions. The Golden Crow ancestor on the side had his heart shake, and his vigilance toward the shadow became even stronger. He felt that he must show more means, otherwise, it would be easy for the little butt shadow to succeed in fighting for favor.

Not paying attention to the Golden Crow ancestor and the shadow, Xu Qing continued to check Sima Ling's storage ring. He searched for a long time for the remaining items and found that they were all sundries, with no good things hidden inside.

So he gave up searching, finally took out the five elixirs, smelled them, and Xu Qing's eyes revealed decisiveness, throwing one into his mouth directly. The next instant, following the melting of the elixir, Xu Qing's whole body shook violently.

He felt a violent force in his body, crazily gathering.

This was not soul power, more like a high-level elixir formula formed specifically for opening Dharma Apertures.

At this moment, under this constant gathering, Xu Qing didn't open the 84th Dharma Aperture position, and the numbness became more intense, until in the blink of an eye, this violent force boomed, rushing toward the 84th Dharma Aperture position, slamming fiercely.

Xu Qing's whole body shook, purple light shining in his eyes, revealing surprise.

"One elixir actually opened one of my Dharma Apertures!"

This effect had already exceeded the soul elixirs Xu Qing bought in the black market before, and it could be said to be the best elixir he had ever had, except for the high-level soul elixirs refined from Bai Li's soul.

At this moment, feeling the booming operation of the 84 Dharma Apertures in his body, he didn't hesitate to take out the second elixir and swallow it. After a while, Xu Qing's body shook again, his breathing rapid.

The 85th Dharma Aperture, opened as well!

"The effect actually didn't attenuate!" Xu Qing had completely realized the preciousness of this elixir. He figured its value must be extremely great. In addition, he also had a profound understanding of the wealth of the Seven Sect Alliance prodigies.

"There are three left." Xu Qing's eyes shone with light, swallowed the third elixir, and soon the 86th Dharma Aperture opened instantly.

Xu Qing didn't stop, and swallowed the last two elixirs one after another. Until a stick of incense later, the 88 Dharma Apertures in his body formed astonishing magic power, flowing fiercely in his body like a fire dragon, emitting a hotter power than before.

"Only two Dharma Apertures left, and I can ignite the third life fire!"

Xu Qing's eyes revealed excitement.

So in the following few days, he began to collect soul elixirs in the Seven Blood Eyes, wanting to break through the last two Dharma Apertures. But soul elixirs were things that needed some time to buy, and it was difficult to buy them quickly.

As for the two pieces of divine flesh, Xu Qing also tried, but the effect was poor, so they were still chosen by Xu Qing to be put into the magic boat.

But Xu Qing also had an alternative method. He moved away from the berth and went to the Criminal Capture Division dungeon.

There were a large number of Night Dove cultivators there. Although their cultivation was very weak, the quantity was large. Xu Qing felt that if he piled them up, with a sufficient quantity, perhaps he could open a Dharma Aperture.

In addition to this soul refining, Xu Qing was also constantly adapting to the toxicity of the poison taboo elixir, making himself have more time to study it. He was even considering how to fuse the little black insects with this poison taboo elixir.

This was a new topic. Xu Qing felt that if he wanted to have any harvest, he still needed a large number of experiments.

Just like that, time passed slowly.

The Seven Blood Eyes' celebration banquet continued, and foreign clans arrived every day, making all the harbors incomparably lively. But the mood of the Seven Blood Eyes disciples became increasingly heavy.

Because the challenge from the Seven Sects, although slowed down for a few days due to Xu Qing's matter, soon started again.

It seemed that the Seven Sect Alliance wanted to stretch this challenge to three months. And Saint Yunzi of the Lingyun Sword Sect, although he only attacked once and didn't continue, lived on the First Peak.

The momentum of the canopy formed by the Seven-Colored Wind-Whispering Lamp outside his residence suppressing the disciples of a peak made all the foreign clans and allies who arrived remain silent.

The attitude of the Seven Sect Alliance was very clear.

This kind of knocking was no longer a simple statement, but a deep warning.

Warning the Seven Blood Eyes not to have a heart of independence. At the same time, there were rumors that after this celebration banquet, the seven peak masters of the Seven Blood Eyes would all be adjusted by the Seven Sect Alliance, and new peak masters would be arranged to succeed.

For a time, the Seven Blood Eyes was clearly the side that won the battle against the Sea Corpse Clan and was in the midst of momentum, but it was suppressed by the Seven Sect Alliance like this. At the same time, the Seven Blood Eyes' ancestor didn't have any response.

Xu Qing also felt the suppression within the sect, but he felt that this matter wouldn't be so simple, especially the things the captain said he saw on the Sixth Peak, which gave Xu Qing a premonition that the sect seemed to be waiting for something.

"Regardless, these are decisions and games between high-level officials." Xu Qing shook his head and didn't pay attention, continuing to immerse himself in cultivation. And the captain also came back during this period. After notifying Xu Qing, he didn't know what he was busy with.

As for Xu Qing, during these days, while constantly refining souls, although he still didn't succeed in opening Dharma Apertures, he had studied the poison taboo elixir more thoroughly. Not only was his body more adapted, but he also determined the idea of re-refining.

In addition, he was also trying to drive the little black insects to fuse into the poison taboo elixir. It was just that this process consumed a lot of the little black insects. Often a group would fuse in, but couldn't succeed in even one.

All died upon approaching.

But Xu Qing didn't get discouraged. At this moment, sitting cross-legged in the dungeon, he took out all the bottles containing the little black insects.

After Xu Qing's continuous replenishment before, there were eight bottles of little black insects.

Each had countless little black insects. Before, he had tried using the little black insects in one bottle to fuse into the poison elixir, and all died. At this moment, he took out the second bottle and opened it.

Then he pinched the formula and pointed, and immediately a black mist rose from this small bottle, incomparably dense, circling around Xu Qing.

If an outsider saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

Because the threat of these little black insects, even a Golden Core would have some fear upon seeing them.

But Xu Qing clearly was still not satisfied with their power, so he opened the Wish Box. With a point, the black mist around rushed directly toward the Wish Box.

But the moment they approached, these black mists drifted down one after another, and all the little black insects within rotted and died instantly.

Xu Qing frowned and continued to try. Soon, the third bottle, the fourth bottle, the fifth bottle...

Countless little black insects died one after another, until only the last bottle was left, and still not one succeeded in surviving. All died.

Xu Qing sighed secretly. He didn't dare to continue with the last bottle, wanting to use it as seeds to cultivate more little black insects.

So he arranged for the Criminal Capture Division to send the Night Dove cultivators locked in other dungeons to serve as a replenishment for his little black insects.

Until with the help of the flesh and blood of those Night Doves, the quantity of little black insects was cultivated again, Xu Qing began to continue trying to make them adapt to the poison elixir.

At the same time, in the process of cultivation, he also added many anti-poison herbs, and even integrated more of his own blood.

After all, his body had gained more anti-poison power in resisting this poison elixir.

Just like that, another seven days passed.

Xu Qing, who was constantly driving the little black insects to approach the poison taboo elixir, finally successfully made eight little black insects survive the first wave of death.

Although they became very weak after surviving, Xu Qing was very excited.

He knew that these eight that survived would be seeds, and with the help of them to re-form groups of little black insects, the resistance would be better.

At the same time, he also noticed that these eight little black insects, after passing the weakness period, seemed to have some mutations. The color was actually not so pitch black anymore.

"With this method, I will definitely be able to cultivate little black insects that can completely withstand the poison taboo elixir, making them parasitize in the poison taboo elixir, nurturing them day and night, and the power will naturally be even more shocking."

Just as Xu Qing's heart was full of expectation, this dusk, under the reflection of a piece of red clouds in the sky, an uninvited guest wearing a red glove on his right hand walked to the front of the mansion that looked like a government office where he was located.

This person was a youth, about 27 or 28 years old, stepping on the evening glow and coming, wearing a purple Daoist robe inlaid with gold silk. At the position of the cuffs, one could vaguely see patterns of Taotie.

Following the forward movement, bursts of magic power fluctuations spread from this Daoist robe, permeating the four directions. At the same time, it also made this person's handsome face look even more extraordinary.

It was just that although the visitor's appearance was handsome, his nose was a bit big, which destroyed the overall delicacy, making him feel more domineering.

At this moment, when walking, many small stones on the road outside the Criminal Capture Division mansion seemed to be pulled by the aura, floating up slowly, circling around him, gradually forming a vortex storm, making this person's momentum even stronger.

Especially the evening glow in the sky, and the surrounding afterglow, at this moment actually seemed to dim a bit after this person arrived. And his right glove, in this dim afterglow, became even more strange and distinct.

This scene attracted the attention of the duty disciples outside the Criminal Capture Division. They all had solemn expressions, as if facing a great enemy, looking at the youth who was getting closer and closer.

Following the other party's approach, the storm swept in all directions, blowing on them, making these few duty disciples retreat uncontrollably, until they retreated to the side of the big gate. One of them breathed rapidly, blue veins bulging on his forehead, and shouted in a low voice.

"Stop!"

The purple-robed youth raised his right hand, and a purple bead formed rapidly outside his glove. With a slight wave, this purple bead rushed toward the duty disciple.

"Don't be nervous, give this thing to your division chief Xu Qing, and tell him, I want to give him a great opportunity." ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
