Chapter 58: Give a Spirit Coin

The events of that night made Xu Qing very annoyed. He didn't want to kill anyone on his first day in the Seven Blood Eyes, but the other party forcibly framed him.

If it weren't for Xu Qing's cultivation base and combat power being sufficient, if it were someone else, he was afraid that he would have been in a precarious situation in this frame-up that night.

So at this moment, his action was extremely swift. As his voice came out, the woman who was screaming suddenly stopped, trembling all over. But she knew the advantages of being a woman.

She also understood that for men, a terrified female would more or less make people compassionate, so she exaggerated her terror a bit.

Xu Qing had no expression. While chewing the last candied haw in his mouth, he squatted down in front of the other party, and at the same time did not forget to be vigilant about whether the other party had accomplices. As he walked over, the passersby around had already opened up the distance.

Even a few cultivators among them, seeing the woman's misery, wanted to intervene, but after noticing that Xu Qing's aura was not ordinary, they all gave up the idea rapidly.

Watching Xu Qing walk to her side and squat down, the woman whose sole was pierced and was suffering from severe pain, her body trembled even more, and sweat permeated her forehead. She recognized Xu Qing's voice.

Actually, from the night she framed Xu Qing and noticed the other party's gaze and the ruthlessness of his action, she was very vigilant. She knew very well that she had provoked a terrifying existence.

So she had been hiding for the past few days and did not go out. Today, she also felt that the limelight should have passed, and that terrifying existence was likely a dragon crossing the river, and should not dare to act recklessly during the day.

So she came out, but she never imagined that she would still encounter the other party.

Encountering was one thing, she was confident that she had the grasp to escape. After all, she was a commoner, and there was a Patrol Division responsible for public security. Under the rules, she was safe.

But looking at the figure squatting in front of her at this moment, she suddenly had an intuition that she was afraid that before the Patrol Division arrived, she would die here.

Thus, she expressed the kind of compassion that made people feel sorry for her as a woman completely in the trembling of her body and the fear in her eyes, wanting to delay time.

"Stop pretending." Xu Qing squatted in front of the woman and pulled the bamboo stick out of the woman's sole.

The severe pain and being pointed out by the other party, all of this made the terror in the woman's eyes real. She also noticed that at this moment, the other party was very close to her. She struggled in her heart, her tightly clenched right hand moved, but she still didn't dare to sprinkle the poison powder in her hand.

And just at this moment, whistling sounds came from the street in the distance. A team of Patrol Division cultivators patrolling here seemed to notice the matter here and were rushing over rapidly.

Hope appeared in the woman's eyes.

But soon, as Xu Qing took out the badge of the Arrest Murderers Division from his body, that group of Patrol Division cultivators didn't even look back and turned away. The hope in the woman's eyes was replaced by despair. Amidst the trembling, she suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"The matter last time was my fault. I am willing to compensate. I... I know a clue about a wanted criminal!"

She did not bargain with Xu Qing. Having walked in the dark night for many years, she knew very well that facing someone stronger than herself, capable of crushing herself, she was not qualified to bargain. Obedience was the only way to survive.

So she did not wait for Xu Qing to speak and said the clue rapidly.

"That wanted criminal is Qingyunzi, a renegade of the Lingyun Sect. He has been living in Banquan Road for the past few days, in the inn we encountered last time."

"Wanted criminal?" Xu Qing took out the jade slip given by the captain, checked it, found the name of Qingyunzi, and glanced at it. The reward was about twenty spirit stones.

"Also, I heard about what your Arrest Murderers Division is investigating recently. I also know a stronghold of the Night Dove." In this huge crisis, in order to survive, she continued to speak, informing him of the location of the stronghold.

Xu Qing listened and looked at the woman meaningfully. He thought of the captain's informant, so he took out a spirit coin and handed it to her.

"If there are such clues in the future, wait for me here."

The woman was stunned and hesitated for a moment. She knew the meaning of this sentence very well. Soon, she gritted her teeth fiercely, nodded, took the spirit coin, and left rapidly, limping, under Xu Qing's gaze.

Until the woman's figure disappeared into the crowd, Xu Qing stood up. He did not go to verify the truth of the Night Dove stronghold the other party said. He just needed to report it to the Division, and naturally, someone would go to verify it.

So after patrolling in the city again, at sunset, Xu Qing went to the inn where he stayed that day.

During the day, the inn was also open, but almost no one entered.

Xu Qing scanned from afar, remembered the strangeness of the old man in the inn, and did not act rashly, but returned to the Arrest Murderers Division, reported the stronghold clue he obtained, and left after going off duty.

As for whether the woman would agree on the surface and disappear afterward, Xu Qing didn't care, because she took that spirit coin, and on it... there was poison.

Three days later, she would need an antidote.

On the road, he encountered a few Sixth Team members. After seeing Xu Qing, they all scanned coldly and didn't speak to each other. Only one middle-aged team member invited Xu Qing to drink with a smile.

In the Seven Blood Eyes, where internal slaughter is not allowed on the surface but secret robbery is common, such an invitation was a bit abrupt and made Xu Qing even more vigilant, so he calmly refused.

Today is a special day. He didn't want to kill anyone and wanted to be alone.

Additionally, he also planned to go to the pharmacy.

He wanted to buy some medicinal herbs for refining White Pills and try to refine them to sell for money. The pills on his body were now empty.

According to the map sketched in his mind, Xu Qing soon found a pharmacy.

This pharmacy was very large, and there were many people coming and going inside, all wearing gray Dao robes.

Items like pills were needed by disciples of all peaks.

Xu Qing's entry attracted some attention because of his appearance, but most of them just took a glance and withdrew their gazes, and their expressions would not be clearly revealed on their faces.

Xu Qing's expression was calm. He also scanned the crowd in the shop, silently walking toward the counter.

At the counter, besides an old man like a shopkeeper, there was also a little fatty.

This little fatty had an ordinary appearance, and the gray Dao robe was very tight on him, looking like circles. He was sixteen or seventeen years old with freckles on his white and fat face, and he was also a customer.

At this moment, he was yawning, grabbing the medicinal herbs piled on the counter, and putting them into a huge pocket he carried with him.

The movements had no rules to follow. Outsiders might not see anything, but Xu Qing could identify them at a glance. The other party didn't understand herbs.

There were some inside that could not be put together, but they were also randomly stuffed into the pocket by him.

"Shopkeeper, the medicinal herbs this time are a bit few, just this little bit?" As Xu Qing approached, he heard the little fatty's dissatisfied voice.

"You come every day, and you have bought them all empty. Tomorrow, the goods entered by the proprietor will arrive tomorrow." The shopkeeper was clearly very familiar with the little fatty. After taking out all the medicinal herbs he bought, he looked at Xu Qing who was walking over.

"This junior brother, what do you want?"

"I need ten-year-old Butterfly Bone Flower, thirty Golden Wing Leaves, ten processed Linglong Branches, Seven-Leaf Grass of any year, and one hundred Golden Button Grass." Xu Qing spoke calmly.

"Also, I don't know if there are Rhino Fire Flowers with roots, and ten each of Condensing Spirit Leaves and White Root Back."

"Additionally, I don't know if there are Cloud Mud and Black Rose Thorns?" After thinking, Xu Qing added a few more types of snake venom and poisonous grass, and looked at the shopkeeper after speaking.

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Xu Qing carefully. What he encountered here on weekdays were disciples buying pills. Occasionally, he could encounter some disciples buying medicinal herbs, who were mostly fellow disciples of the Second Peak, and then there were those like the little fatty who didn't understand anything.

And this boy in front of him spoke so clearly and thoroughly, and was very unfamiliar. He thought he was not a Second Peak cultivator, which was very rare.

Especially since most of the other party's medicinal herbs were needed for White Pills, which made the shopkeeper thoughtful. After looking at Xu Qing deeply, he shook his head.

"Everything else is there, totaling three hundred and eighty spirit coins. But only the Condensing Spirit Leaves, the last one hundred copies, were bought by him." The shopkeeper pointed to the little fatty who was packing.

Xu Qing nodded. Although Condensing Spirit Leaves were important, it was not bad for one day. As for the price of the medicinal herbs, it was considered reasonable. If successful, he could probably refine about one hundred White Pills and some poison powder.

He was just about to buy, but at this moment, the little fatty on the side looked up and asked curiously.

"Condensing Spirit Leaves? You also want this thing. What is the use of this thing? I asked the shopkeeper several times, but he didn't tell me."

"You ask a bunch every time. If I tell you every one, I won't be able to do business with others..." The shopkeeper sighed helplessly.

Xu Qing looked at the little fatty and thought of himself who was also so eager for knowledge in the past, so he opened his mouth softly.

"The main functions of Condensing Spirit Leaves are two. One is to catalyze other medicinal herbs to make them mutate in the direction you want, and the other is that it has a very good nourishing effect on the skin."

Hearing this, the little fatty suddenly realized. He took out a handful of Condensing Spirit Leaves, about seven or eight, and placed them generously in front of Xu Qing.

"Thanks, brother. These are for you." After the little fatty finished speaking, he carried the bag and walked out of the gate happily, as if for him, giving some medicinal herbs to others was just a trivial matter.

Xu Qing was stunned and hesitated for a moment, about to refuse, but the little fatty had already walked out of the gate in a rush, and even took out a jade slip, as if transmitting sound.

The shopkeeper on the side smiled and opened his mouth.

"This little fatty is named Huang Yan, a disciple of the Seventh Peak, and also a lovesick freak. I don't know which female disciple he is fascinated by. He has been buying medicinal herbs from me for many years. If he continues to buy like this, the money he spent over the years would be enough to become my proprietor's. But this kid is also not simple. Being so high-profile, he can actually live until now."

Xu Qing looked deeply at the direction where the little fatty walked away, didn't speak, bought the remaining medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, and left.

All the way back to the berth, after checking that there was no problem as usual, Xu Qing walked into the Dharma Boat, immediately opened the protection, and only after the protection appeared did he feel relieved.

Compared to the outside, the Dharma Boat could give Xu Qing more sense of security. At this moment, he entered the cabin and sat down, took out the medicinal herbs he bought, put them away in categories, and the pill formula of the Bai Dan appeared in his mind.

Although he had never gathered the medicinal herbs needed for the Bai Dan before, Xu Qing had never relaxed his

Time slowly passed, and midnight arrived.
