Chapter 567

br>

Late at night, the world was pitch black, only in the Earth Cities of the Bitter Life Mountain Range would there be sporadic lamp lights dim in the wind.

The sobbing wind blew continuously, and occasionally some sand and soil would be lifted up, rolling in the Tucheng.

Although not much wind and sand came to the mountain range, it still made a clattering sound when it landed on the door panels. Occasionally hearing it would cause unease, but after listening for a long time, one got used to it.

At least for Xu Qing, this was the case. The whistling wind outside had become life in this past half year.

His eyes revealed a strange light.

Three days had passed since he returned from the Reverse Moon Hall. In these three days, Xu Qing had been analyzing that curse information, and now he had finally pondered it all.

The people of the Reverse Moon Hall had actually researched curses to such a subtle degree.

Xu Qing murmured. He felt that the curse information he had exchanged with poison elixirs and spirit stones was very worthwhile.

This information was quite comprehensive, clearly not completed by one generation, and should have been passed down for many years, containing all sorts of tests and a large number of conjectures about curses.

Someone had determined through multiple experiments that this curse possessed life, and others had discovered after investigating more than a hundred clans that there were subtle differences in the curses of each clan. It seemed that for some clans, there were very few curses from birth, but they would slowly increase with the passage of time.

There were also people in the Reverse Moon Hall who specifically studied the changes in curse eruptions, organizing 137 different reactions. It seemed that when the curse erupted for different clans, the details were all different.

This curse could form torture specifically aimed at this clan according to different clans. For example, the Dingyang Clan was born with a lack of pain sensation in the flesh, so the eruption of the curse in their clan was on the soul.

There was also a principle that had been researched by the Reverse Moon Hall, and that was... the curses of different clans could be mixed.

The living beings in the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, the curses in their bodies were not immutable. The curses in the bodies of different clans could be superimposed and influenced through oral administration and bloodlines.

Xu Qing's eyes revealed a strange light. This method opened up many ideas for him. Before this, he hadn't thought that curses could actually be utilized in this way.

For example, some people mixed the curse that mainly targeted the soul after eruption into a clan that didn't fear soul damage, and then the curse of this clan was mixed, thereby reducing the torture at the moment of eruption.

The curses of different clans were different, and thus appeared mutual alternation and fusion... this was the principle of the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir.

Xu Qing lowered his head, took out a jade slip from the many jade slips describing curse information in front of him. The slip described this method, and Xu Qing finally understood why the price of the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir was so high and the quantity so small.

Any Difficulty-Resolving Elixir needed to synthesize the characteristics of multiple clans to achieve all-around offset, allowing the curse eruption of the person who swallowed it to be relieved.

In addition, for higher levels, it needed to be customized by an elixir master for the user, going to be prepared according to the clan characteristics of the user.

That is to say, the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir was actually a curse elixir mixed with the curse power of multiple clans, but the subtle parts needed a lot of preparation and pondering to make these curses offset each other after mixing, rather than increasing the power.

Using curses to counter curses, using mutual generation to turn into mutual restraint.

Xu Qing sighed. He understood that the information he had obtained was only the tip of the iceberg of the research results of the Reverse Moon Hall on curses, but even if he only obtained a corner, he could deeply feel the wisdom of the Reverse Moon Hall cultivators.

If they continued to research like this, perhaps one day they could really create a perfect elixir to offset curse eruptions, and thus have the possibility of escaping this domain.

The premise was... the Red Moon Mother didn't change the way of the curse, and the inheritance of knowledge wasn't lost due to the destruction brought by the Red Moon Mother's arrival.

Xu Qing took a deep breath. After researching this information, he had already realized that the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir would be his breakthrough point for curses.

I have the power of the same origin as the Red Moon. To some extent, I myself can also release curses through this. Theoretically, my blessing is both deepening the curse and a kind of consumption of it.

And the previous direction was that I went wrong. I wanted to solve the curse all at once, but hindered by my Purple Moon level being insufficient, the difficulty was too great.

Then if the curse is weakened... Xu Qing pondered for a moment, his eyes revealing decisiveness.

I need a Difficulty-Resolving Elixir to verify my guess.

With such thoughts, Xu Qing took out the mirror and entered the Reverse Moon Hall again.

The next moment, at the foot of the mountain of the Reverse Moon Hall, the statue on the altar opened its eyes instantly.

Without acting rashly, Xu Qing stood on the altar, first feeling the surroundings, confirming it was safe, he controlled the statue body, and took a step down.

After landing, he moved his body again and checked if the statue had changed.

It was still filled with cracks, and its appearance was the same as before, an old man wearing robes, with a gourd on his back.

Everything was as usual.

Only then did Xu Qing push open the temple door and walk out.

Gazing at the blue sky and bright light here, and the statues coming and going, he didn't hesitate and joined them.

This time his goal was very clear: to find a Difficulty-Resolving Elixir that he could exchange for. On the way, he passed the temple where he traded poison elixirs three days ago and instinctively took a look.

Although that temple had brilliant light, it seemed the owner hadn't come. Xu Qing didn't pay much attention, flew away quickly, and searched one by one. It was just that there were too many temples here, and it was very difficult to check them all at once. Even if he encountered one selling Difficulty-Resolving Elixirs, the requirements were something Xu Qing couldn't satisfy.

As for the temple that traded for twenty Red Sky Fire Crystals, Xu Qing went there and found that the other party didn't know what had happened, closed the trade, and didn't allow outsiders to enter.

Xu Qing felt some regret, searched for a long time, and could only exchange for some curse information in other temples, then left.

Time passed, and soon ten days passed.

In these ten days, while digesting information and researching the fierce beast curse, Xu Qing almost spent half his time immersed in the Reverse Moon Hall every day, constantly looking for Difficulty-Resolving Elixirs that he could trade for.

During this period, he repeatedly paid attention to the temple that needed Sky Fire Crystals, which remained closed.

Also not appearing was the master who traded poison elixirs with Xu Qing and wanted to cultivate the Hundred Poisons Invulnerable Body. It was just that this master's temple was not closed and could be entered, but the statue had no spirit from beginning to end. Xu Qing entered a few times and found that the trading information in the light clusters within this temple hadn't been updated for a long time, and even the medicinal herbs in some light clusters were empty.

As if, after completing the trade with Xu Qing, this master never came to the Reverse Moon Hall again...

Wouldn't he have eaten the poison elixir and had a problem? Xu Qing felt some surprise in his heart, and even more anxiety. The other party had no grievances with him...

But Xu Qing clearly reminded the other party.

It should be that I thought too much. After all, those who can cultivate the Hundred Poisons Invulnerable Body are all strong.

Xu Qing pondered, feeling that maybe he was overthinking, maybe that master didn't appear because of other things.

Until this day, when Xu Qing continued to look for Difficulty-Resolving Elixirs and was entering and leaving temples shining with brilliant light, the entire Reverse Moon Hall suddenly shook.

Dazzling light erupted from the sky, and a terrifying fluctuation followed, enveloping the entire Reverse Moon Hall mountain.

Xu Qing felt it and walked out of the temple, raising his head.

Not only him, but at this moment, many statues in the temples all walked out and looked at the sky.

Only to see in the firmament, among the nine ancient temples under the sun, one of the temple doors suddenly opened, endless light emanated from within, and a huge figure appeared within the temple.

With its appearance, the entire Reverse Moon Hall shook, auspiciousness manifested in the sky, and brilliant light spread.

"Pay respects to the Vice Hall Master!"

Voices carrying respect instantly came from the mouths of one statue after another, and after gathering together, they turned into huge sound waves, spreading in all directions.

Xu Qing was also among them, his heart churning. This was the first time he had seen the high-level of the Reverse Moon Hall. Although separated by the statue body and unable to feel the specific cultivation base, being able to cause such changes in the Reverse Moon Hall, one could imagine that the cultivation base of this Vice Hall Master was definitely extraordinary.

At the same time, with the opening of the temple door and the walking out of the statue, under the shining of endless light, a low voice was like heavenly thunder, echoing in all directions.

"Announcing three things to my Reverse Moon cultivators."

"The cultivators of the destiny are appearing frequently, and the spark is about to start a prairie fire!"

"Under our actions in the past half year, we have successfully destroyed five Red Moon branch halls, beheaded eleven divine envoys, dozens of divine servants, and hundreds of divine slaves!"

"According to accurate news, the Sovereign Prince and Princess Mingmei have recovered from their injuries and are all fine. We are working hard to contact them. Once the contact is successful, our Reverse Moon Hall will usher in glory!"

"Everyone, the Red Moon is not eternal!"

The statue's voice echoed, and bursts of surging emotions rose in the hearts of a large number of statues. Even many closed temples opened, and the owners returned.

Finally, all the statues bowed towards the sky spontaneously, responding with the same words.

"May hope last forever!"

The sound was deafening, resounding through the clouds.

The seeds of hope were planted again.

Xu Qing was among them, gazing at the huge statue in the temple in the firmament, feeling extremely strongly. And after that statue announced these things, it didn't say much, returned, and the temple door closed.

Although it left, the information transmitted here would spread throughout the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain at the fastest speed. Xu Qing was thoughtful, looking at the statues excited one by one, and was about to leave, but a scan of his eyes found that the temple he had been paying attention to for a long time that needed Sky Fire Crystals had also opened.

He flew over immediately, stepped into the temple, felt the light cluster within, found the exchange for the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir, and without any hesitation, Xu Qing took out twenty Red Sky Fire Crystals and completed the trade.

The moment he got the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir, Xu Qing felt settled in his heart and turned to leave.

At this moment, with the Vice Hall Master's announcement, all the statues that could come had chosen to return, becoming extremely lively.

Looking around, it was as if gods and demons were dancing in all directions.

Only that temple that traded poison elixirs with Xu Qing remained as usual...

Xu Qing didn't know what to say, looked at it silently, flew back to his temple, and chose to return.

At the same time, in the Green Sand Desert, a colorful light was moving rapidly. Behind it, the green wind and sand were faintly revealing white.

It seemed that the green wind was turning into white!

The parrot inside, at this moment, had a look of terror, and while flying, it started to curse.

"What the hell, grandpa me just slacked off and flew a bit slower, and took a shit in a quicksand pit, how come the wind turned white!"

While the parrot was fleeing in terror, teleporting multiple times, trying to escape the gradually whitening wind and sand, in the Tucheng of the Bitter Life Mountain Range, Xu Qing's figure appeared in the back room.

He sat cross-legged, his eyes revealing anticipation, raised his hand, took out the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir he had traded for, and observed intently.

This Difficulty-Resolving Elixir was colorful, mixed with many colors, looking very strange, but the curse aura emanating from within was very obvious.

Xu Qing didn't act rashly. This Difficulty-Resolving Elixir was too precious, and he had no energy left to exchange for a second one. He could only, through this unique one, study it thoroughly as much as possible.

So he first gazed, observing the outer layer of the elixir carefully, then placed it in front of him and smelled it again and again, his eyes revealing contemplation, his heart analyzing rapidly.

There was no feeling of medicinal herbs forming an elixir.

But it indeed contained curses, and not just one kind, but many. As for the focus, it was the material within.

Something that could adsorb curse power.

Xu Qing continued to analyze.

The amount of each wisp of curse was different, and it should have existed as a formula transformed from the curse power of different clans as medicinal herbs.

Interesting, these curses were clearly of the same origin, but there existed different eruption changes.

But this was also a curse after all. Although it could relieve pain after swallowing, in reality, the curse didn't decrease, but increased instead.

Especially with the increase in the amount of curse, it would cause many chain reactions, such as the consumption of life force and the decline of cultivation base... This was the side effect of the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir.

Drinking poison to quench thirst, Xu Qing sighed in his heart. Then his left hand raised, and the Purple Moon power in his body gathered, forming purple threads.

There were about hundreds of them. After dancing in front of him, with a movement of Xu Qing's heart, these purple threads headed straight for the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir.

Rapidly breaking through, merging into it. Every thread went to contact the different curses in the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir and started to imitate.

This was impossible for others to do, but Xu Qing's Purple Moon and Red Moon were of the same origin, so the changes that the Red Moon could form, he could also form.

It was just that there was no reference object before, and there was a lack of sufficient experiments, but now all these answers were contained in the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir. For Xu Qing, this was a door without a lock.

Time passed bit by bit. Xu Qing's expression became more and more solemn. The purple threads he scattered adjusted one by one in this continuous imitation, changing according to different curses.

The whole process was incomparably cautious and careful, controlling the fluctuations of hundreds of threads, trying his best not to trigger the curses within the elixir.

Until three hours later, under such focused control, a slip-up finally occurred.

In an instant, this incomparably precious Difficulty-Resolving Elixir trembled. The next moment, all the curses churned and collapsed with a bang, turning into black ash and falling to the ground along Xu Qing's fingers.

Xu Qing felt no regret. His eyes revealed a strange light. In three hours, he had already completed the simulation of the 300 different clan curse powers contained in this Difficulty-Resolving Elixir.

At this moment, looking down at the black ash on the ground, Xu Qing felt a slight surprise, picked up a pinch and placed it in front of him, the more he looked, the more familiar it became.

"This is" Xu Qing's eyes flashed. He took out a pouch, poured out the black ash inside, and after comparing, he found that both sides were exactly the same.

Xu Qing's black ash was what he had studied from the curses in the bodies of those fierce beasts before. After their curses completely erupted, their bodies turned into this. At that time, he didn't feel that this black ash had any use, but he also collected it.

Looking at it now, this was the material that adsorbed curses.

Xu Qing pondered. A long while later, he grabbed a handful of black ash, the Purple Moon power in his body scattered, turned into hundreds of threads, and rapidly merged into it. According to his previous research, he quickly simulated wisps of different curses and attached them to the black ash.

In this process, the black ash began to shrink, its color gradually changed, until it turned colorful, and its size also changed.

Xu Qing pinched it, and an irregular elixir appeared in his palm.

The appearance looked not much different from the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir, and the aura was exactly the same, but the essence was different.

Because all the curses were actually transformed by Xu Qing's Purple Moon power.

If the Red Moon curse is compared to an enemy army, then the current state of my purple power is wearing the enemy army's clothes and changing its appearance. In this way, the enemy army will find it difficult to discover the clues, thereby allowing me to successfully mix into the other party.

With this method, erupting instantly inside the enemy army can allow it to not have time to swallow, and directly offset the curse.

Xu Qing's mind was clear. He took out a fierce beast for experiment. It was a scorpion, which trembled after appearing, not daring to raise its tail.

Xu Qing glanced at it and placed the elixir in his hand beside its mouth.

"Eat."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

The scorpion didn't dare to refuse and could only swallow it obediently. Then its body trembled more and more, which was only ten breaths of time, and it collapsed with a bang, turning into black ash.

The disguise didn't succeed.

Xu Qing frowned. After recalling the process of his refining before, he took out the black ash again, made fine adjustments, and continued to refine.

Time passed day by day, Xu Qing's attempts continued. Every time he failed, he would make fine adjustments. Finally, at dusk on this tenth day, his elixir successfully disguised itself.

The fierce beast that ate the elixir didn't collapse, and even the curse in its body calmed down.

Xu Qing's heart surged, looking at the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir he had made. This was the result of his research bit by bit over the past half year.

Although due to the direction, there was still some gap with the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir, the effect was not far off.

The direction of the Difficulty-Resolving Elixir is to relieve the pain of the curse, and my direction is to thoroughly resolve the curse. Relieving pain is just incidental. Even if I can't do it now, this method should be correct.

In addition, my Purple Moon power also needs to be improved... and more information about curses needs to be collected, so that it can be gradually perfected.

Xu Qing's expression was expectant. Just as he was about to refine more Difficulty-Resolving Elixirs with a wave of his hand, the next moment he raised his head suddenly, his eyes revealing a sharp light, looking outside.

Swaying his body, he disappeared directly from the back room, and when he appeared, he was already beside the medicine shop counter.

Ling'er was bookkeeping happily. Sensing Xu Qing appearing like this, she immediately turned into white and drilled into Xu Qing's sleeve.

The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor also revealed a sharp intent in an instant. When locking onto a direction, Xu Qing's expression relaxed slightly, looking out the window.

A colorful light appeared out of thin air there, and then with a flash, it entered the medicine shop and appeared beside the little seedling that had grown more than a foot tall.

The seedling's swaying paused, not daring to move at all, and that colorful light turned into a parrot, and an arrogant voice came from its mouth.

"A parrot is born, dad is a fart, hurry up and call dad, grandpa is here!" After speaking, the parrot looked at Xu Qing, head held high.

Hey, that so-and-so, Chen Mou Niu told me to come and call you, go and light some kind of fire.

"Light what fire?" Xu Qing recognized this parrot. Hearing its words, he frowned, not quite understanding.

How the hell would I know what fire to light, Mou Mou Niu just told me to come and call you to light a fire, light a fire, light a fire, hurry up and go light a fire!

The parrot spoke arrogantly, then turned its head and bit the little seedling, eating it 'ba ji ba ji'.

The little seedling trembled, not daring to hide.

Ling'er hurriedly drilled out from Xu Qing's collar, glaring at the parrot.

"Shut up!"

The parrot glanced at Ling'er sideways, looked at Xu Qing again, then raised its head, its body posing like a stick, facing people with its nostrils, continuing to be arrogant.

"I won't!"

The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor rushed over instantly, but the moment he got close, the parrot disappeared suddenly, teleported to the other side of the little seedling, and took another bite.

"I just won't!"

This speed made the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor feel shocked. Just as he was about to continue chasing, the parrot flickered continuously, teleporting around the little seedling, one bite after another.

"I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't!"

Just as the parrot was proud, its body suddenly shook, its little eyes widened, and it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"I... ga..."

"You're poisonous!!"

It glared at the little seedling. The little seedling trembled, and the parrot coughed up blood again at this moment, its body starting to rot. It also realized that it wasn't the little seedling that was poisonous, but that there was poison around it, so it was about to speak, but it fell down headfirst. After falling to the ground, it looked at Xu Qing in terror.

At the same time, the little seedling pulled up its roots rapidly and jumped down, stepping on the parrot frantically to take revenge.

The parrot wailed, wanting to escape but couldn't do it anymore, and could only roll on the ground continuously, until the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor appeared, the parrot didn't dare to move, its eyes incomparably fearful.

The little seedling didn't dare to continue either, crawled back slowly, and continued to plant itself.

Xu Qing was expressionless, sitting to one side, looking down at the parrot struggling on the ground.

"Now, can you speak properly?"

The parrot nodded rapidly. It finally found out why its dad was afraid of this person in front of him on weekdays. This person didn't reason, and even poisoned his own people.

Uncle Xu, can you detoxify me first... After speaking, the parrot coughed up blood again, on the verge of death, its body about to rot.

Xu Qing raised his hand and waved, and the poison on the parrot dissipated for the most part. It trembled immediately, but after Xu Qing's gaze swept over, its body shook, and it hurriedly became well-behaved.

"Uncle Xu, I was wrong. Uncle Chen Erniu really asked me to call you to light a fire. I don't know what to light either, it seems to be related to the sun."

Xu Qing was thoughtful, looked at the parrot, and the other party's previous speed made him a bit surprised, so he asked a question.

"What abilities do you have?"

I can teleport. I am the fastest among my dad's descendants, and my teleportation power has no influence regardless of how harsh the environment is or if it's a sealed place. Before, when my dad encountered danger, it was me who brought him away by teleporting. In short, grandpa... uh, the little one can move.

After the parrot finished speaking, it looked at Xu Qing cautiously.

Xu Qing nodded, just about to speak, but the next moment he felt something in his heart and walked to the window.

The wind blew from the horizon into the Tucheng, the houses shook, the wooden doors rattled, and it also blew on Xu Qing's face, lifting his hair.

In the distant heaven and earth, the storm connected to the firmament, groups of wind and sand like a fog sea, rolling continuously, spreading continuously, lightning flashing within, and roars echoing in all directions.

It was as if there was a god within, driving the wind and sand forward. Wherever it passed, the heaven and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds rolled.

That was a sandstorm.

And its color was changing rapidly from green, until it turned completely white.

The sobbing sound echoed incomparably strongly at this moment, as if the firmament was mourning, the earth was wailing, wanting to bury all living beings, and use all things as funerary objects.

There was even terrifying pressure, descending on the entire desert with the appearance of the white sandstorm.

The white wind and sand had arrived. It swept across the earth, covered the firmament, and affected the Bitter Life Mountain Range, making everything outside at this moment a hazy white, exuding thick ominousness.

Xu Qing's gaze was solemn. He lowered his head and looked at his feet. The shadow was hunting outside and hadn't returned...
