Chapter 384: Treasure Keeper

At dusk, Xu Qing left the pavilion at the top of the mountain.

He had stayed there for a long time, playing several more games of chess with his Master. After losing every game, Seventh Master laughed continuously. Every time, Xu Qing looked at the chessboard seriously, with a pained expression of deep thought. Occasionally, when he was deeply engrossed, he would instinctively pick up the snacks to the side and put them

into his mouth.

Using chewing to assist his thinking.

The snacks were delicious; Xu Qing hadn't come to eat them before.

Especially after eating them, the magic power in his body operated on its own; clearly, the ingredients used to make the snacks contained some extraordinary medicinal herbs.

And his way of thinking made Seventh Master even more comfortable.

For this whole time, the master and disciple were rarely disturbed by anyone, until Xu Qing had eaten all nine plates of snacks served by the servant for the ninth time, and he sighed.

"Master, disciple is convinced."

Xu Qing stood up, with a look of admiration, bowed to Seventh Master, and under Seventh Master's satisfaction, Xu Qing looked at the sky, said goodbye, and left.

After watching Xu Qing leave, Seventh Master looked at the snack plates around him.

"Ate nine plates." The servant to the side laughed.

"Sigh, people, when they get old, they like the younger generation to come and see them more, to accompany them more, but it's not easy to ask directly. This method of yours is good. In the future, make more snacks; they will probably find excuses to come and see me every day."

Seventh Master smiled and looked in the direction of the Nanhuang Continent, his eyes carrying some emotion.

"Second and Huang Yan returned to the Nanhuang Continent. Before leaving, I saw her reluctance, but it's good that she went to the Nanhuang Continent. She won't suffer a single bit of grievance there."

"And since she is in the Nanhuang Continent, if her Senior Brother or Junior Brother encounters any problems in the future, that place can also be considered a safe haven."

"As for Eldest, with his personality, who knows when he will cause a monstrous disaster."

"Third is also not worry-free, with a whole body of romantic debts." Seventh Master sighed.

The servant had a strange expression and spoke in a low voice.

"The Third Prince has been missing for a long time. The Zhao family of the Taisi Daoist Sect, the Ling Sui Sect, as well as the Duomu Clan and the Manlin Clan, have all asked about him many times."

"He played too big, being forced into marriage by four parties at the same time. I don't know where he escaped to." Seventh Master flicked his sleeve in annoyance.

"Only Fourth is the most reassuring at the moment. With his personality, basically everyone he provokes will be killed, leaving no future trouble. However, this kid has too heavy a killing intent. I don't know if he will encounter more fortune or misfortune after going to Fenghai County." Seventh Master's expression carried some hesitation.

The servant nodded to the side.

"The Fenghai County Capital seems prosperous, but it is a mix of dragons and snakes, with many clans and subtle situations. And it is said that our human County Governor has an indecisive personality."

"The County Governor is not indecisive; he likes the art of balance. He knows he is powerless to restore the prestige of the County Governor to the glory of the human race, so he is like this. But balance often represents compromise." Seventh Master shook his head.

And at this moment, Xu Qing, while walking down the mountain, burped and licked his lips.

"The snacks at Master's place are extraordinary!"

In this aftertaste, Xu Qing returned to the berth at the port.

In the following days, he went to find Zhang San to reinforce his Dharma ship again; after all, he needed to travel far next.

Ding Xue also came to find Xu Qing.

As for Yan Yan, after returning, she was punished by Venerable Dongyou to go into seclusion; she could not go out until she broke through her cultivation.

But Gu Muqing didn't come; she had been arranged to be stationed at the sect in the Nanhuang Continent very early on.

Just like this, Xu Qing waited in the sect for his Dharma ship to be reinforced by Zhang San, and on the sixth day, he chose to set off, preparing to go to the Sea Corpse Clan to be a Treasure Keeper for three months.

During this period, some things also happened. When some disciples of the Eight Sect Alliance went out to perform missions, they went missing at the edge of the Corpse Forbidden Land on the Forbidden Sea.

According to clues, it seemed they went into the Corpse Forbidden Land for some unknown reason.

Since it involved a Forbidden Land, according to the procedure, the Alliance arranged for a portion of disciples from each sect to go to the Corpse Forbidden Land to investigate the situation. This matter didn't cause too much of a stir in the Alliance, because such things of going missing in Forbidden Lands had occasionally occurred over the years.

In fact, not only the Alliance was like this, but other sects and clans, especially the clan sects on the Forbidden Sea, were all like this.

Xu Qing also heard about this matter, but it didn't affect his plan to go to the Sea Corpse Clan.

At most, out of caution, he didn't travel by Dharma ship as he once did, but used the sect's teleportation array to teleport directly there.

At this moment, he was standing on the teleportation array. As the array light shone, the next instant Xu Qing disappeared, and when he appeared, he was already at the Sea Corpse Clan.

Teleportation over such a distance, without protection, would form a pull on the cultivator's own soul and physical body.

However, Xu Qing's physical body was powerful; he only felt his body shake and then returned to normal.

The moment his figure appeared on the Seven Blood Eyes teleportation array of the Sea Corpse Clan, there were already thousands of disciples waiting outside the teleportation array. At this moment, they all cupped their fists and paid respects to Xu Qing.

"Greetings, Daoist."

These were all disciples of various peaks stationed here. After Xu Qing returned the greeting, he went to pay respects to Third Master and finally arrived at the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo magic treasure, sitting cross-legged in the very center of the huge bronze ancient mirror.

This place was located high in the sky. The ancient mirror was a full hundred zhang in size, and sitting on it was like sitting on a huge plate, with wild winds howling all around.

Looking down, one could see

the black Forbidden Sea like ink, undulating endlessly at the edge of the field of vision. Xu Qing took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and dispersed his spiritual sense to merge into this taboo magic treasure. The next instant, an astonishing spiritual sense, containing no emotional fluctuations, shrouded Xu Qing's body. It seemed to be verifying and checking his identity authority. Finally, this spiritual sense turned into a layer of protection, permeating around Xu Qing, and a cold voice echoed in his heart and spirit.

"Artifact Spirit Blood Child, please give your orders."

Xu Qing's eyes revealed strange light, slightly moved.

He could feel that after the bronze ancient mirror's spiritual sense shrouded his whole body, his body seemed not to exist, unable to be perceived, and only spiritual sense could be transmitted, as if he had become a soul body.

"What can I do?"

Xu Qing transmitted his spiritual sense.

"First, you can choose to merge with the Blood Child, opening the soul carrier. In this state, as long as the magic treasure is not destroyed, you will not be destroyed."

"Second, you can view all places you want to see within the magic treasure's area."

"Third, any place within sight can form a projection body of the Treasure Keeper, existing for half an hour, with strength equivalent to your own."

"Fourth, any single life form, under your will, can be subjected to a life-and-death judgment, but this authority requires the approval of all three Treasure Keepers."

The cold voice of the artifact spirit echoed in Xu Qing's heart and spirit.

After listening, Xu Qing understood. After having some enlightenment about the areas his Master said not to look at, he chose to merge.

As the spiritual sense was transmitted, the next instant Xu Qing's soul dispersed. He felt as if he had regained a body at this moment, and this body was the bronze mirror itself.

The two became one, completely merged together.

At the same time, an unprecedented field of vision appeared in Xu Qing's perception.

He saw a distance beyond the limit of his former gaze. It seemed that with him as the center, north to Yinghuang, south to Nanhuang, west to the deep sea, and east to the Corpse Forbidden Land.

This large area, as long as he wanted to see, could be seen clearly in an instant.

Xu Qing's heart and spirit stirred up waves.

Until after a long while, he calmed his emotions. The first place he wanted to see was the scavenger camp of the past, the grave of the Lei Dui buried beside the Forbidden Zone in the camp.

In the undulation of this thought, the bronze ancient sword on the Sea Corpse Clan emitted a humming sound, slowly rotating, aiming the mirror surface at the Nanhuang Continent.

The next instant, that familiar scavenger camp entered Xu Qing's sight.

The camp was still dirty, still dilapidated, and the residence Xu Qing once lived in was also occupied by others.

Clearly, with the passage of time, the killing prestige he once formed in the scavenger camp had become the past, had become a rumor.

Xu Qing didn't care about these. His gaze moved and covered the Forbidden Zone, seeing the Lei Dui's grave, which was still kept in good condition. This could be said to be one of the few rules that scavengers could abide by. For the graves of dead scavengers, don't touch them, don't destroy them, because no one wanted to end up like that one day.

Gazing for a long time, Xu Qing sighed softly. Just as he was about to withdraw, he thought for a moment.

"The places Master said not to look at include Forbidden Lands, but do not include Forbidden Zones." Xu Qing's spiritual sense moved, shifting his gaze, passing over the temple group, and landing in the deepest part of the Forbidden Zone.

At one glance, Xu Qing's heart and spirit shook violently.

In the depths of the Forbidden Zone, he saw an abyss, and saw a vague female god shadow under the abyss, who was kneeling and worshiping in front of a dilapidated ancient zither.

Xu Qing had never seen this woman, but the shoes that were faintly visible under her feet, Xu Qing had seen; they were exactly the lover of the Lei Dui that appeared in the singing that day. And that ancient zither, covered in black stains and half-rotted, was now playing on its own, emitting bursts of singing while countless corpses were kneeling and worshiping around the ancient zither in the abyss.

Endless foreign matter emitted from these corpses, and if one looked carefully, one could find that the source of all this was that dilapidated ancient zither.

He didn't look much; at just one glance, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze.

After a long silence, Xu Qing looked at Zitu, looked at Master Bai's grave.

At one glance, the world changed rapidly in his eyes. The next moment, the public cemetery of Zitu appeared in Xu Qing's sight. There, he saw a grave full of flowers.

Master Bai's grave.

The flowers there seemed to have just passed a day and hadn't withered yet. Surrounded by the sea of flowers, it was as if Master Bai's figure had once again appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

Gazing, gazing, until two familiar people appeared in Xu Qing's sight.

A man and a woman, it was Chen Feiyuan and Ting Yu. They walked from afar, arrived in front of the grave, took out fresh flowers to replace them, paid respects, and left the cemetery.

Xu Qing watched them leave and also noticed that within Chen Feiyuan's body, there was a ghost-faced spinning top spinning rapidly, pulling Chen Feiyuan's blood and energy, turning into a vortex, emitting bursts of terrifying power. This scene made Xu Qing think of Chen Feiyuan telling him about the talent he possessed due to the existence of the Ziqing Upper Kingdom bloodline in his body. Symbiosis with magic treasures.

While thoughtful, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, looked at other places, and until after a circle, he looked at the Forbidden Sea. Seventh Master had reminded him that the Forbidden Sea should not be looked at often, so Xu Qing just swept across it. And under this sweep, he saw Huang Yan and the Second Senior Sister who had left not long ago. At this moment, Huang Yan was pounding the Second Senior Sister's legs on the deck, his expression carrying excitement. Xu Qing's face revealed a smile, his gaze swept over and was about to withdraw, but just at this moment, Huang Yan suddenly looked up and looked at the sky suspiciously. Xu Qing

The smile instantly froze, and he was stunned for a moment.

"He can perceive me?" ===== CHAPTER 385 =====
