Chapter 95: Gu Muqing

Half a day passed in a flash.

As the bright moon reappeared in the sky, the quiet sea gradually fell asleep, and the starlight of the whole sky fell on the earth, covering the bay of the Seven Blood Eyes with a mysterious veil.

Looking from afar, the seven mountain peaks standing on the earth, as well as the seven huge blood-colored children on the mountain tops, were like both protection and deterrence.

What they protected was the prosperity of the Seven Blood Eyes, making civilians yearn to come, willing to come, creating their own value here, providing massive residence fees, so that the Seven Blood Eyes industry could continue to profit.

What they deterred was the outside world, making aliens and those with malicious intent not dare to provoke them.

As for the cruelty toward disciples internally, that was to raise Gu, to raise wolves that could survive in troubled times.

Because only such wolves were worthy of truly joining the Seven Blood Eyes and enjoying the distribution of the Seven Blood Eyes' interests.

Xu Qing now fully understood the rules of the Seven Blood Eyes. He looked at the port ahead, the speed of the flying boat under him slowed down, and he slowly entered the port.

On the sea surface, the magic boats of the Seven Blood Eyes disciples floated scattered, and beams of strong light from the lighthouse swept across all directions, making the seawater sparkling under the moonlight appear dazzling for an instant when the lighthouse beam swept past.

Until one of the lighthouse beams fell on a thin and almost falling-apart flying boat outside the sea gate of the 79th Port, and paused.

The light quickly gathered in front of Xu Qing, who was standing there.

The strong light was dazzling. Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to cover it, and took out his token.

A soft light radiated from the token, and an invisible array seemed to sweep past. After confirming Xu Qing's identity, the gate of the 79th Port in front of him slowly opened a small door.

The beam of light falling on Xu Qing also shifted away, making the world in front of Xu Qing pitch black for an instant, but it soon returned to normal.

As his flying boat entered the port along the small door, the familiar shore wind blew the familiar aura, blowing Xu Qing's hair up. He looked at the port in front of him, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, even if the environment in the Seven Blood Eyes main city was harsh and cruel, compared to the sea, it would eventually be better.

After all, here, the enemies encountered by disciples at the foot of the mountain would not surpass their own cultivation base by a major realm.

"Back." Xu Qing muttered, controlling the flying boat to head straight for his berth.

His late-night return also attracted the attention of some disciples in the 79th Port.

If it were someone else, they might just take a look and that would be it, but after noticing it was Xu Qing, many disciples walked out of their magic boats one after another and cupped their fists to greet Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's previous breakthrough and the appearance of the Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale had already made him quite famous in this 79th Port.

These disciples who walked out of their magic boats, when their gazes swept over Xu Qing, also noticed his tattered flying boat, and their hearts understood that this was the great danger the other party had encountered at sea.

However, disciples at the foot of the mountain mostly knew the limits, understanding not to ask what shouldn't be asked, so they all pretended not to see the tattered state of Xu Qing's flying boat.

Facing the greetings of his fellow disciples, Xu Qing cupped his fists in return. Until his flying boat reached the berth, Xu Qing looked around, walked into the cabin, and sat cross-legged to meditate.

Just like before he went out to sea.

As his eyes closed, Xu Qing's heart also completely calmed down from the previous slaughter, but his vigilance had been carved into his soul. Especially now that he had returned fully loaded, although it was highly probable that with his current fame, no one would dare to snatch it, necessary vigilance was still needed.

So, Xu Qing sprinkled more poison powder around the berth, both in the sea and on the shore.

At the same time, Xu Qing did not forget that he had killed the Mermaid youth before he left, and the other party had a protector in the port.

"I don't know what happened to that dead fish matter now." Xu Qing pondered, didn't ask others, but carried vigilance and continued to breathe and absorb.

A night passed.

The next morning, the weather was fine.

The morning light seemed to transform into a graceful and elegant woman, walking gently, sprinkling her gentleness all the way, calling for the awakening of all living things, and also driving the cold of the night away from the world.

As the light fell into the cabin, Xu Qing opened his eyes, walked out, and looked at the port area.

What came into Xu Qing's eyes was the familiar world, familiar light, familiar figures, familiar everything.

Whether it was the patrolling disciples, the fellow disciples who got up early, or the bustling of civilians and the fragrance of food drifting in the wind, all made Xu Qing's mood very good.

He didn't care about the tattered state of his Daoist robe, jumped off the flying boat, put it away, and first went to the breakfast shop he used to go to every day. Under the enthusiastic greeting of the shopkeeper, he had a full meal.

As for his somewhat tattered Daoist robe, the shopkeeper glanced at it and didn't care. He had seen too many similar things.

The familiar taste made Xu Qing eat double the amount he used to this time. After paying the bill and leaving, he didn't go to the Arresting Division to cancel his leave immediately, but went to the main city disciple management office, where he bought a new set of Daoist robes.

After changing into it, Xu Qing thought for a while and walked all the way to where Zhang San's Transportation Division was located. He felt that the flying boat could still be used after repairs. As for the magic boat... that would need to be re-refined. However, thinking of his harvest, Xu Qing felt that re-refining was also nothing.

"And last time I took advantage of Senior Brother Zhang San, this time I have to make up for it." Xu Qing touched his pocket and walked quickly.

Not long after, at the moment when the sunlight was thick, Xu Qing saw the Transportation Division from afar, and also saw some very unfamiliar disciples inside besides the personnel of the Transportation Division itself.

These seven or eight disciples were all women, each with a graceful figure. Even the Daoist robes were difficult to cover too much, looking undulating, very beautiful.

And their appearance was equally beautiful, with a unique alchemy temperament belonging to the Second Peak.

Among them, there was also a core disciple who was surrounded. She was in a light orange Daoist robe, which was particularly eye-catching among the many disciples. Her own appearance was also the same, transcendent and refined, with a stunning face, truly a beautiful woman.

Sixteen or seventeen years old, with a graceful figure, clarity between her brows, full of spiritual charm, and full of elegance.

It seemed that this woman was very gentle on weekdays, so although she was surrounded, she didn't have the superiority of a core disciple, standing there quietly, very elegant.

Xu Qing's gaze swept past, walked slowly, and saw Zhang San surrounded by these Second Peak disciples.

Compared to those Second Peak disciples with outstanding looks, Zhang San, who was squatting on a sandbag and rubbing his hands, looked plain, and his old farmer-like appearance looked very simple and honest.

Xu Qing's arrival was seen by Zhang San at the first moment. He greeted Xu Qing and patted his chest at the Second Peak disciples beside him.

"Don't worry, there is no problem this time. I, Old Zhang, go out to sea, and every clan will give some face."

Noticing that Zhang San seemed to be talking about business, Xu Qing didn't disturb him, but walked to a dark place on the side and waited silently.

In the shadows, Xu Qing in a gray Daoist robe had a handsome appearance and a seemingly gentle expression, but the dark place where he was located formed a sharp contrast with the sunlight outside.

Looking in the sunlight, one would see that the gentleness on Xu Qing's face seemed to be just a mask, and under that mask was an indifferent expression fused with the shadows, faintly having three points of cold hardness that kept people at a distance.

So, amidst the black hair like a waterfall, and set off by his tall figure, a unique temperament formed on Xu Qing.

This also attracted the attention of the Second Peak disciples, and most of the beautiful eyes swept over him.

Xu Qing's expression remained as usual, didn't care about these, and waited silently.

Not long after, Zhang San finished talking with those Second Peak disciples and walked quickly to Xu Qing, smiling.

"You brat, you finally came back. How was your harvest this time going out?"

"Not bad." Looking at Zhang San, Xu Qing smiled.

"As long as there is a harvest, see, those Second Peak disciples." Zhang San had pride on his face, and his chin lifted toward the group of Second Peak disciples who were about to leave.

"Did you see the prettiest little girl inside? That is the Second Peak core disciple Gu Muqing. I don't know how many people's dream Dao companion she is, cough, she is also mine."

"They are going out to sea for training. This is a big job. I competed with many fellow disciples in our port to get the qualification to carry them out to sea. Your captain didn't compete with me."

Zhang San said this and looked at Xu Qing expectantly, as if wanting to see his envy.

Xu Qing nodded.

Zhang San was a bit depressed.

"I say... Junior Brother Xu Qing, shouldn't you congratulate me? Maybe after this time, I can have a Dao companion."

Xu Qing thought for a while and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he squeezed out an expression of envy and spoke seriously.

"Congratulations."

Zhang San was speechless and gave up the idea of seeing envy from Xu Qing.

"Alright, it's hard for you... You came here this time to inspect the magic boat, right?"

Xu Qing put away his expression and took out a piece of sea lizard skin of decent quality from his pocket.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I came here today on one hand to repair the boat, and on the other hand, I hope to add sea lizard skin to make the refined magic boat more solid." Xu Qing had just said this when he suddenly paused and looked at the Second Peak disciples not far away.

These Second Peak disciples were originally about to leave, but at this time, the Second Peak genius Gu Muqing, whom Zhang San mentioned, noticed the sea lizard skin Xu Qing took out, her footsteps paused, and her eyes brightened slightly.

"This fellow disciple, is what you have in your hand the sea lizard skin of the eighth layer of Qi Condensation?"

Gu Muqing's voice carried the green and astringent sound line unique to a young girl, gently and gracefully scattered in the sunlight, blending with the alchemy fragrance on her body, like a whisper, making people hear it and unknowingly smell the beauty.

It was just that when it entered Xu Qing's ears, Xu Qing's brows frowned slightly, and he instinctively put the lizard slough away, looking vigilantly at Gu Muqing's neck.

At the same time, his heart was full of vigilance, also reminding himself not to be careless and take it out directly just because he had a lot of sea lizard skin harvested this time and this item could be bought in the sect's shops.

He should have waited for the other party to leave before taking it out.

Gu Muqing also noticed the change in Xu Qing's expression and hurriedly walked over to explain.

"I want to refine a kind of elixir, which requires a lot of sea lizard skin, the better the quality, the better. I bought all of them in the city, and this time going out is also for this reason, but I don't know if the harvest will be enough, so if you have any leftovers, I am willing to buy them at a high price."

After saying this, Gu Muqing looked at Xu Qing. Her clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembled slightly, breeding deep expectation.

Xu Qing pondered. Selling to the other party was not impossible, but he first had to consider whether his magic boat's promotion was enough.

Zhang San on the side was stunned. He stood between the two, looked at Xu Qing who was thinking seriously, and then looked at Gu Muqing who was staring intently. He suddenly felt that his plan to go out to sea this time seemed a bit bad.

Even faintly, there was a feeling that he was standing here and seemed very redundant.

So Zhang San coughed, just about to speak, and Gu Muqing, who was staring at Xu Qing's face at this moment, suddenly thought of something, and her eyes brightened again.

"I remember, you are Xu Qing!"
