Chapter 25: Poison Dao: Corpse-Destroying Powder

This voice fell into Xu Qing's ears, and his eyes widened suddenly.

His breathing was rapid, and he only felt a roar in his mind. Being able to enter the tent to listen to the class was something he had dreamed of. At this moment, in excitement, he took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the tent.

"Thank you, Master!"

These four words, Xu Qing said very earnestly.

It took a long time for him to stand up and leave the tent.

This day, he didn't see Master Bai's figure when he looked back, but he heard Master Bai's criticism of the young boy and girl in the tent.

He didn't pay attention to these. Xu Qing had already been filled with intense excitement.

When he returned to his residence, he immediately told Lei Ting about this matter, and Lei Ting was also very pleasantly surprised, especially seeing Xu Qing's happy appearance, his smile became more, and there was also emotion in his heart.

Although he didn't tell himself the reason why this child frequently went to the forbidden zone during this period, he knew that the other party was looking for the Destiny Flower that could extend his life.

Such a child who was affectionate and righteous and had saved his life, in this cold world, how could he not cherish him? It was just that he looked at Xu Qing, who was very tired every time he returned, and couldn't bear it.

At this moment, seeing Xu Qing happy, Lei Ting was also very happy, so that day, Lei Ting cooked a quite rich dinner for Xu Qing, constantly instructing him to respect his teacher and be respectful to Master Bai, etc. Xu Qing remembered each one very seriously in his heart.

Until he finished eating, Xu Qing, who returned to his room, was still in excitement.

Thinking that he could go to the tent to listen to the class tomorrow, Xu Qing was looking forward to it, but also somewhat tossing and turning.

In his anxiety, he suddenly thought of the scene when he first met the teacher who taught him to read with other children when he was in the slums.

So he opened the leather bag to organize it, and finally took out a relatively new bag, put most of his spirit coins in it, and also many of his White Pills.

In Xu Qing's cognition, knowledge was priceless, and giving away all his savings was nothing.

But he had to consider Lei Ting's side, so he left half.

After doing this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes silently, began to cultivate and breathe, and waited for dawn.

This night was somewhat long for Xu Qing.

Until the morning sun rose, Xu Qing rarely got up early, changed into a newer piece of old clothes, washed his hands clean, and then walked out of the room.

Just about to leave, he was stopped by Lei Ting, who had never gotten up early during this period.

After carefully instructing Xu Qing, Xu Qing nodded tirelessly, listened earnestly, and finally Lei Ting helped Xu Qing organize his clothes and handed him a leather bag.

"You can't go empty-handed to listen to the class in the tent."

"I have it," Xu Qing said softly.

Lei Ting stared, but seeing Xu Qing's persistence in his eyes, he put away the leather bag and returned to the room to take out a pot of wine.

"I know Master Bai likes to drink. You take it with you."

This time Xu Qing didn't refuse. After taking the wine pot, he left the courtyard. After walking a few steps, he looked back, waved at Lei Ting who was standing there, ran a few steps quickly, and headed straight for Master Bai's tent.

Watching Xu Qing's back, Lei Ting smiled.

"This kid, I didn't see him this happy when distributing Seven-Leaf Grass."

Mixed with happy and nervous emotions, Xu Qing arrived at the place where he had stood outside the tent for more than a month. He took a deep breath and knocked on the tent door.

"Come in."

Listening to Master Bai's voice, Xu Qing lowered his head to check his clothes, pulled his lapels hard to make them look neater, and then slowly pushed open the door. He saw Master Bai and the young boy and girl sitting there, besides the guards.

When Xu Qing looked at them, they were also looking at Xu Qing.

Compared to Master Bai's calm expression, the young boy and girl's expressions were much richer, among which the young boy called Chen Feiyuan had an unconvinced face, while the girl Ting Yu was mostly curious.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, bowed deeply to Master Bai, and then took out the prepared leather bag and wine pot, learned from the practice in the slums, and handed them out with both hands.

Xu Qing, who didn't look up, didn't see Master Bai at this moment, whose calm eyes had a bit more softness.

Master Bai didn't take the leather bag, just took the wine pot and drank a sip in front of Xu Qing, as if it were some kind of ritual.

"Start the class." After putting down the wine pot, Master Bai slowly transmitted his words.

As usual, first the examination. Ting Yu and Chen Feiyuan seemed to be competing with Xu Qing. Clearly, they had done their homework last night. The answers were very crisp, and after answering, they immediately looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't look at them, but looked at Master Bai, answering his examination one by one. After being very comprehensive, Master Bai nodded and started the formal class.

Xu Qing listened extremely seriously. He cherished the opportunity to enter the tent to listen to the class very much, and the whole process didn't have the slightest distraction.

And Chen Feiyuan and Ting Yu were the same, which made Master Bai have some smiles in his heart.

Just like that, another ten days passed. Xu Qing also got used to listening to the class in the tent, but the degree of seriousness didn't decrease in the slightest, and the knowledge he harvested was also more and more abundant.

However, compared to him, Chen Feiyuan returned to his old ways after a few days, only Ting Yu was still comparing with Xu Qing and was extremely serious.

However, after class, the two of them talked a lot more, but most of them were Ting Yu curiously asking about life in the camp. Xu Qing was taciturn and only answered simply.

And Chen Feiyuan was unconvinced by Xu Qing from beginning to end, and didn't say a few words.

Xu Qing didn't care about this. He was not good at socializing, so he would leave as soon as possible after class to head to the forbidden zone. The reason why Xu Qing went to the forbidden zone every day now had more to do with grass and wood.

Before understanding the knowledge of grass and wood, everything in the forbidden zone had no difference in his eyes, but now it was different.

Xu Qing could often find some medicinal herbs he knew, and every such discovery would deepen his understanding of grass and wood.

However, Xu Qing also slowly discovered that most of the medicinal herbs in the forbidden zone were yin evil poisonous herbs, and there were not many positive Yang medicinal herbs.

So his research on medicinal herbs was based on poison from the beginning.

As those poisonous herbs were picked by him, Xu Qing also built a simple house in the small canyon, used as a pharmacy for studying poisonous herbs.

And relying on his physique that could dissolve toxins, Xu Qing was very bold in the research of poisonous herbs. After trying various combinations and combinations, he finally prepared an unknown poison.

This poison was a mixture of eight poisonous herbs, and snake venom was added. It was prepared with these nine substances.

The toxin contained strong corrosion. Xu Qing had tried it. A drop falling into flesh and blood could make the experimental beast corpse turn into blood in five breaths.

But it was only so fast for corpses. For living things, I don't know why, the time would increase a lot.

Although this was the case, for the first poison he had prepared in his life, Xu Qing was already very satisfied.

He dried it into powder and named it Corpse-Destroying Powder.

As for positive Yang medicinal herbs, although there were few, combined with the method of yin and yang two poles, Xu Qing still simply prepared some semi-finished medicinal liquids.

A small part of it was mixed into Seven-Leaf Grass, which had the effect of suppressing foreign matter. Xu Qing had once asked Master Bai if it could be combined with his prescription to have a better effect on Lei Ting.

Master Bai told him that except for the Destiny Flower, others were useless, and his prescription would eventually fail.

The facts were indeed so. Even if Lei Ting took medicine on time every day, his physical weakness still appeared to the naked eye. Xu Qing saw it in his eyes and was silent in his heart.

Until this day, when the two were eating, after Lei Ting wanted to speak but stopped, he still told Xu Qing that he felt he was not suitable to continue staying in the scavenger camp and was preparing to buy a residence in a nearby city in the near future.

"Kid, I know your path will never stop at this small camp, your future will be further, so I won't call you to go and retire with me."

Upon hearing this sentence, Xu Qing, who was eating, paused. Half an hour later, he lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and asked softly.

"Are you coming back?"

"Of course. I will come back occasionally," Lei Ting said with a smile, raising his hand, touching Xu Qing's head for the first time, and feeling emotion in his heart. He didn't want Xu Qing to take risks in the forbidden zone jungle for himself anymore.

Xu Qing instinctively wanted to avoid it, but after looking at Lei Ting, he didn't move, making Lei Ting's hand successfully land on his head, stroking it gently, Lei Ting laughed.

"Besides, you can come see me at any time."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing nodded heavily.

This night, Xu Qing opened his eyes many times while cultivating, looking at Lei Ting's room.

This emotion was not buried in Xu Qing's heart until a few days later. Every day, besides going to Master Bai's side to listen to the class, he spent more time in the forbidden zone, trying hard to find the Destiny Flower.

It was just that this flower, as Master Bai said, was hard to find. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
