Outside Of Time

Chapter 962 Young Master, Name a Price! (2)

Since that was the case, he would accept it.

As for the reason why he left the Bitter Life Mountain Range, Xu Qing had asked in the past half a month and knew that the other party had offended an ancestor of the Bitter Life Mountain Range.

”Ancestor Mogui, with his Nihility cultivation, is the top expert among the rogue cultivators in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. He enjoys the best of both worlds between the shrine and the Moon Rebel Hall, living a rather comfortable life.”

”In order to complete the assessment of the Moon Rebel Hall, I had no choice but to kill his disciple…”

When thinking about this, Li Youfei sneaked a glance at Xu Qing and let out a sigh. He felt like he was at a disadvantage – he had killed the disciple, but he didnʼt manage to retrieve the corpse.

The reason he sneaked a glance at Xu Qing was that in the past half a month, he had seen Xu Qing with the corpses of the two divine slaves who had pursued him in the white wind.

These two corpses were also Xu Qingʼs research materials. Occasionally, after studying Li Youfei, he would encounter a bottleneck and dissect them to research.

With the passage of time, the methods of dissection became increasingly precise. Sometimes he would remove the organs and inspect them piece by piece, while at other times, he would break bones to examine the marrow.

After every dissection, he would be covered in dark blood.

Xu Qing also discovered a characteristic of divine slave cultivators. Their internal organs had varying degrees of corrosion. Although the curse in their bodies had become faith, it was clearly not complete.

”I wonder what the body of a Spirit Repository divine servant looks like?”

Xu Qing fell silent.

Every time this happened, Li Youfei would tremble. Although Xu Qing dissected and researched silently, Li Youfei would always personally witness it from the side. The nervousness in his heart involuntarily intensified again.

He felt that he was ruthless, but compared to the master, he was insignificant. What frightened him the most was the concern that one day the master might also develop an interest in killing him and studying his body.

Amidst his trepidation, they were getting closer and closer to the Sacrificial Yin in the west. Xu Qingʼs curse-resolving pill was also reaching their final stage, becoming more perfect.

At that moment, on a mountain peak that was a month away from the Sacrificial Yin River, Li Youfei lay there unconscious.

Xu Qing, who had just ended his research, glanced at the unconscious Li Youfei and noticed that his vital signs were normal. Hence, he didnʼt care too much. Instead, he looked at the medicinal pill he refined with a satisfied expression.

This medicinal pill was ultimately improved by Xu Qing with the help of the strangeness of Li Youfeiʼs body and the research of the two divine slavesʼ corpses.

Its appearance wasnʼt much different from ordinary curse-resolving pills. It was also colorful. However, upon closer inspection, one would faintly discover that its color contained whiteness, so the overall color was slightly lighter.

However, the medicinal effects had already undergone earth-shattering changes.

It was no longer limited to alleviating the torture of the curse eruption but could reduce the curse!

If the number of curses in a personʼs body was 10,000, then after swallowing this curse-resolving pill, the curse would become 9999.

Although the decrease was very small and it was very difficult to detect, this was an unprecedented pioneering breakthrough.

This was because the lowered curse was permanent!

The fundamental principle of the pill was mainly based on something similar to antibodies, constantly lowering the curses, while its associated effect was to alleviate the pain of the curseʼs outbreak.

However, the side effect was the consumption of a certain amount of vitality. However, compared to ordinary curse-resolving pill, the consumption was much lesser and the relief effect was greatly increased.

”But unfortunately, itʼs only the first time you take it that the curse will decrease. Subsequent consumption will only alleviate the pain because the curse is a living thing and will adjust itself accordingly.”

Xu Qing felt some regret regarding this. However, he also understood that it was very difficult to achieve such a thing overnight. This pill still needed to be improved time and time again. Moreover, he also needed more information about curses.

”Also, if I can study a Spirit Repository divine servant…”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He felt that there must be other mysteries in the bodies of the Spirit Repository divine servants.

”Also, there are too few medicinal herbs in the Moon Worship Region. I remember that some of the medicinal herbs in the forbidden zone contain dense anomalous substances. If I can blend their properties, it might provide me with better insights for improving the curse-resolving pill.”

Xu Qing thought about it and controlled his shadow to cover the unconscious Li Youfeiʼs body, causing him to fall into a deeper sleep. He then checked his surroundings to confirm that there was nothing wrong. He took out the mirror and stepped into the Moon Rebel Hall.

It had been a long time since he last came, so Xu Qing felt slightly out of place when he appeared at the templeʼs altar. It took him a while to descend, and when he pushed open the templeʼs large door, the blue sky and the bright light made him squint his eyes slightly as he instinctively looked into the distance.

That place… was the location of the temple where he had exchanged the heavenly fire crystals for the curse-resolving pill.

At the thought of that clay fox, Xu Qing became vigilant. Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, he felt that his previous judgment of the Moon Rebel Hall wasnʼt wrong.

The people from the Moon Rebel Hall were indeed not simple.

Hence, he didnʼt leave his temple. After sensing around, he waved his hand and a beam of light spread out from the temple, gathering in front of him and transforming into a cluster of light like in the other temples.

After checking, Xu Qing took out a curse-resolving pill he had improved and placed it in the light cluster.

After that, he posted the item he needed.

”100 drops of blood from a Spirit Repository divine servant.”

Xu Qing didnʼt set a ridiculous price. To him, the refinement of this curse-resolving pill was very easy. After all, he had given Li Youfei almost 200 pills.

What he wanted was to improve the pill as soon as possible.

According to his understanding some time ago, after the light cluster was released, others could exchange for it themselves. When he returned, he would be able to take the items he needed.

”I hope it can be faster.”

Xu Qing muttered inwardly. After publishing it, he returned to the altar and left.

After appearing at the top of the mountain, he patted Li Youfei awake and continued on his way.

Just like that, a day passed.

The next day, in the Moon Rebel Hall, the burly neighbor beside Xu Qingʼs temple pushed open the door and walked out.

His chest was exposed and there were streamers made of stone around him. His dignified expression made him look glorious under the sunlight.

”Itʼs finally quiet now.”

He, who liked to come to the Moon Rebel Hall every day, enjoyed the sunlight of the Moon Rebel Hall very much. He felt that he was alive when he was here, and there were many times when he didnʼt want to go back to the so-called reality.

After all, the darkness and suffering in reality would constantly remind him of the misery of his fate.

There were many people like him and most of them liked to stay here.

However, Moon Rebel Hall had rules about this. Hence, even though he was unwilling, he still had to return to reality every few days.

This was also the reason why he felt that Xu Qing was noisy and had glared at him many times.

There werenʼt many moments of enjoyment to begin with. If there were still continuous rumblings disturbing them, anyone would feel annoyed.

After walking out, he felt a rare sense of peace. The burly dude stretched his back and was about to go out for a stroll. However, his gaze swept past Xu Qingʼs temple from the corner of his eye and he noticed a cluster of light flickering there. The burly dudeʼs brows raised slightly.

”That detestable fellow who likes to act mysterious has started selling things?”

The burly dude wasnʼt too surprised. He sneered and disdain appeared in his eyes.

In his memory, the owner of the temple always appeared mysteriously and almost never interacted with others.

He had glared at him many times, but the other party would leave quickly like a frightened rabbit.

”Forget it, letʼs go and see what this rabbit is selling. I can also use this opportunity to see what this person is like.”

The burly dude had been dissatisfied with Xu Qing, his neighbor, for a long time. Hence, his body swayed and he directly arrived outside Xu Qingʼs temple. He swept his gaze across the mottled bronze cauldron that didnʼt have any incense sticks. He sneered and swaggered into Xu Qingʼs temple.

After stepping in, he disdainfully glanced at the motionless statue on the altar and then swept his gaze across the only cluster of light floating in the air. He casually lifted his hand and grabbed at the ball of light.

”Letʼs see what kind of trash this guy is selling for the first time.”

However, the instant his hand touched the ball of light, the burly dudeʼs originally calm expression instantly changed.

His eyes instantly widened as though he had been bombarded by a large number of heavenly lightning. His mind instantly churned and his body stopped there.
