Outside Of Time

Chapter 945 Plucking the Tigerʼs Beard, Changes (4)

After he left, Lingʼer hurriedly went up to check and exclaimed.

”Brother Xu Qing, there are 100,000 spirit stones here.”

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat favorable toward the middle-aged cultivator, then called for Lingʼer to enter the back room.

Lingʼer blushed slightly, closed the door of the apothecary, took a deep breath, and then, nervously following Xu Qing into the back room, she straightened herself, puffed her small chest, and spoke softly.

”Why did you call me over here in broad daylight, Brother Xu Qing?”

Xu Qing didnʼt pay much attention to Lingʼerʼs words. He sat cross-legged and took out a fragment of mirror.

”Lingʼer, I hope you can join the Moon Rebel Hall.”

”Oh?” Lingʼer was taken aback and felt a bit disappointed. Xu Qingʼs actions seemed to be different from what she had in mind.

”Iʼve been trying recently, but I canʼt get through.” Xu Qing felt helpless. Over these days, he had been attempting to pass the second test, but every attempt had been a failure, and none of the methods he had tried seemed to work.

Now, there was only one method left.

That was to let Lingʼer join and complete the assessment. He would borrow the help of Lingʼerʼs lifebond technique to enter the Moon Rebel Hall.

The difficulty in this plan lay in the fact that the members of the Red Moon Shrine all had at least Nascent Soul cultivation, while Lingʼerʼs cultivation had not yet reached Golden Core, so there were issues with the sacrifices she could provide.

The test required that the target of the sacrifice had to be at the same realm as the participant. If the level of the Red Moon cultivator who was sacrificed was too high, this obvious loophole would be seen as cheating.

This also served to limit the cultivation level of those who joined the Moon Rebel Hall.

However, with Xu Qing around, this point was very easy to resolve.

Under Xu Qingʼs explanation, Lingʼer understood this. She silently concealed her thoughts and nodded vigorously.

”Brother Xu Qing, itʼs no problem. I can do anything.”

As she spoke, Lingʼer patted her small chest in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qingʼs mind was currently filled with thoughts of entering the Moon Rebel Hall. He had pondered this matter for a long time and had analyzed it thoroughly in his mind. He believed there wouldnʼt be much danger. So, after explaining the steps to Lingʼer, the two of them immediately began.

Xu Qing first got Lingʼer to activate the mirror. After that, he took out two ferocious beasts with the same cultivation as Lingʼer and quickly blessed them. Before their curse erupted, he threw them into the mirror.

Very soon, she passed the first test and the test of faith went very smoothly. Lingʼer didnʼt have any power of the Red Moon on her body, so she easily completed the second test.

The instant it was completed, the mirror floating in the air emitted the sound of shattering and a gap appeared.

Waves of suction force spread out from the gap.

”Brother Xu Qing, that voice told me that this is the entrance to the Moon Rebel Hall.” Lingʼer glanced at the mirror and hurriedly spoke.

Xu Qing looked at the crack on the mirror and didnʼt dare to attempt to enter. With the status of the Moon Rebel Hall, if someone who wasnʼt an examinee forcefully barged in, they would probably be met with fatal power.

Xu Qing looked at Lingʼer.

Lingʼerʼs eyes were filled with anticipation. Since Xu Qing had released her lifebond, she hadnʼt said much, but deep down, she had felt quite disappointed. Now that the lifebond could continue, her heart was filled with happiness. Without any hesitation, her body transformed into a small white snake and landed on Xu Qingʼs wrist.

At the next instant, a strand of green hair coiled around Xu Qingʼs wrist.

The connection between the two of them was re-established. However, the current Xu Qing was no longer the same as before. With the enhancement of the power of fortune in his body, this time it wasnʼt a one-sided connection, but a mutual one.

After doing all this, Xu Qing could clearly sense that he and Lingʼer seemed to have become one at this moment.

”Brother Xu Qing, this is a special talent of our Ancient Spirit Race. In our entire lives… we can only bind to one person. Even if the binding is released, we canʼt bind to another.”

”From now on, we share our fates. Your life is my life, your death is my death. Together through life and death, from sunrise to sunset, even in the afterlife, we are companions!”

An ethereal voice rang out in Xu Qingʼs mind.

Xu Qing stared at the mark on his wrist and nodded solemnly. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the floating mirror and headed straight for the crack.

The instant he got close, his body directly transformed into a beam of light that fused into the crack.

He had entered a strange place!
