Outside Of Time

Chapter 952 You... Youʼre Poisoned! (1)

Late at night, the world was shrouded in darkness, with only sporadic lights flickering in the small cities of the Bitter Life Mountain Range, their glow hazy in the wind.

The whimpering wind continued to blow. Occasionally, some sand would be lifted and swept into the earth city.

Although there wasnʼt much sandy wind that could reach the mountain range, it still made rustling sounds when it landed on the door, occasionally causing unease. However, after a while, one could become accustomed to it.

At least to Xu Qing, this was the case. The whistling wind outside the house had already become a part of his life in this half a year. At that moment, he retracted his divine consciousness from the jade slip that talked about the curse and a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

It had been three days since he returned from the Moon Rebel Hall. During these three days, Xu Qing had been analyzing the curse information. Now, he had finally comprehended all of it.

”The research of the people from the Moon Rebel Hall on the curse has actually reached such a microscopic level.”

Xu Qing mumbled. He felt that the curse information he had exchanged for the poisonous pills and spirit stones was very worth it.

This information was quite comprehensive. Clearly, it wasnʼt completed by one generation. They seemed to have been passed down over many years, containing tests and numerous speculations on various types of curses.

”Some individuals, through multiple experiments, have confirmed that this curse possesses life…”

”There are also people who discovered that there are subtle differences in the curses of the various races after investigating over a hundred races. It appears that some groups have fewer curses from birth, but these curses gradually accumulate over time.”

”There are also people from the Moon Rebel Hall who specialize in studying the changes in the eruption of the curse and sorted out 137 different reactions. It seems that the details of different races are different the moment the curse erupts.”

”This curse can be customized to inflict specific torment on different races. For example, the Sun Set Race is naturally deficient in physical pain sensitivity, so when the curse erupts within their race, it targets their soul.

”Thereʼs another principle that was also studied by the Moon Rebel Hall. That is… the curses of different races can be mixed.”

”The curses in the bodies of all living beings in the Moon Worship Region arenʼt static. The curses in the bodies of different races can be overlaid and influenced by mouths and bloodlines.”

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qingʼs eyes. This method opened up many of his thoughts. Before this, he had never thought that curses could be used like this.

For example, someone mixed the curse that mainly targeted souls into a race that wasnʼt afraid of souls being damaged. After that, the curse of this race was mixed, reducing the torture at the moment it erupted.

”The curses of different races are different, and because of this, there is alternating fusion… This is the principle of the curse-resolving pill.”

Xu Qing lowered his head and took out one of the many jade slips in front of him that recorded the curse information. This jade slip described this method and Xu Qing finally understood why the price of the curse-resolving pill was so high and there were very few of them.

”Any curse-resolving pill requires the integration of the characteristics of many races to achieve an all-round offset, allowing the curse of the person who swallowed it to be alleviated.”

”In addition, for higher levels, it needs to be custom-made by alchemy masters and concocted according to the characteristics of the customerʼs race.”

”In other words, the curse-resolving pill is actually a curse pill that is mixed with the curse power of many races. However, the details require a large number of concoctions and refinement, so that after these curses are mixed, their might wonʼt be increased but they will offset each other.”

”Using the curse to resist the curse and mutually reinforcing to counter it.”

Xu Qing sighed with emotion. He understood that the information he had obtained was only the tip of the iceberg of what the Moon Rebel Hall had obtained from those who studied the curse. Even though Xu Qing had only obtained a corner of it, he could deeply sense the wisdom of the Moon Rebel Hall cultivators.

”If this progress continues, perhaps there will really be a day in the future when they can create a pill that perfectly offsets the eruption of the curse. This way, there will be a possibility of escaping this region.”

”The prerequisite is that… the Crimson Goddess didnʼt change the method of curse, and the inheritance of knowledge wasnʼt lost because of the destruction by the Crimson Goddess.”

Xu Qing took a deep breath. After studying this information, he already realized that the curse-resolving pill would be his breakthrough point in the curse.

”I have the power of the same source as the Red Moon. To a certain extent, I can also use this to release the curse. In theory, my blessing not only deepens the curse but also consumes it.”

”As for the direction earlier, I went in the wrong direction. I wanted to resolve the curse in one go, but because my Purple Moon level isnʼt high enough, itʼs too difficult.”

”Then, if I weaken the curse…”

Xu Qing fell silent for a moment before determination appeared in his eyes.

”I need a curse-resolving pill to verify my guess.”

With this thought in mind, Xu Qing took out the mirror and entered the Moon Rebel Hall again.

At the next instant, at the foot of the mountain range where the Moon Rebel Hall was located, the eyes of the statue on the altar of a small temple instantly opened.

Xu Qing didnʼt act rashly. He stood on the altar and first sensed his surroundings. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he controlled the statue and took a step forward.

After landing, he stretched his body again and checked if there were any changes to the statue.

It was still filled with cracks and looked the same as before. It was an old man in a long robe with a gourd on his back.

Everything was normal.

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

Looking at the blue sky and bright light here, as well as the statues coming and going, he didnʼt hesitate and joined them.

This time, his goal was very clear. He wanted to find a curse-resolving pill that he could exchange for. On the way, he passed by the temple where he had traded the poison pills three days ago and instinctively took a look.
