out of time

Chapter 32
"Also... Poison too?"

Bone Knife's eyes widened, showing despair, and wanted to say something, but the next moment his head was dizzy, and he fell into a coma.

At this time, the mist enveloped them, engulfing the figures of Xu Qing and the bone knife.

Two hours later, at the edge of the forbidden jungle, at a crossroads, the bone knife felt a pain in his body, and he woke up and opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he looked around blankly, but soon he jumped up nervously.

After confirming that there was no danger in the place and he did not see Xu Qing, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately found that his face had subsided, and his whole body had not changed much from before he was not poisoned.

"I'm not dead?"

Bone Knife's heart beat faster, with a strong sense of survival after the catastrophe. At the same time, he also noticed a piece of bamboo beside him with a line of writing engraved on it.

"Insurance expired."

Seeing these four words, Bone Knife felt complicated, and felt a little ashamed of his previous trick. After a long while, he sighed softly, and bowed deeply towards the depths of the jungle.

"Thank you."

While muttering, he turned around and looked at the two directions ahead. The one on the right was the only way back to the camp, and the one on the left was the way away from the camp and into Songtao City.

Standing here, he didn't feel anyone around, so he was silent for a long time.

"The owner of the camp is from the Vajra Sect. The sphere of influence of the Vajra Sect covers all the nearby cities. Even if I escape into Songtao City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid the anger of the camp owner, especially since his people are all dead."

Bone Knife struggled in his heart, he knew that there was a way to give himself a chance to survive, and that was to go to the camp to inform, and tell the story of the child beheading and killing the camp owner's subordinates, so as to throw everything on the child. , should survive.

Just doing this, against his own conscience, the child saved himself after all, but after a moment of contemplation, his inner struggle turned into a decisive one.

"In this troubled world, the key is to survive by yourself, and you can't control others!" Thinking of this, he suppressed the guilt in his heart, swayed his body, and galloped towards the camp.

But the moment his body stepped into the direction of the camp, a cold light roared from behind him at an astonishing speed, penetrating his head in an instant.

With a bang, the whole body of the bone knife shook, blood splashed everywhere, his eyes widened, he fell to the ground and twitched a few times, in his eyes, the world was covered by an approaching figure, and it slowly became pitch black until it became eternity.

Died of anger.

Xu Qing stood in front of the bone knife's corpse, and silently pulled out the iron stick.

Xu Qing has a deep understanding of human nature, so instead of leaving, he gave the bone knife a choice.

On the left is raw.

The right side is dead.

The bone knife chose the right side.

With a blank expression on his face, Xu Qing took out the corpse powder and sprinkled it on. As the body of the bone knife melted, Xu Qing calmly turned around and galloped towards the depths.

As for the matter of the camp owner, he was too lazy to participate.

At this moment, while galloping through the jungle, although there was fog, it didn't affect him too much, so at dusk, Xu Qing had already traveled through the fog and arrived at the pharmacy in the canyon.

Almost at the same time as he came in, there was a faint howling of wolves, but Xu Qing didn't pay attention.

He first observed cautiously to make sure that the small arrangement left by him before he left last time had not been touched, and then he pushed open the door of the pharmacy and stepped in.

The pharmacy is not big, and there is no resting bed, but there are small grids built with wood around it, and in each grid, different herbs and poisonous glands are placed.

Some of these medicinal herbs and poisonous glands have been processed, while others remain intact. There are quite a few of them, and there are hundreds of them densely packed.

Xu Qing's eyes swept over, and there was bursts of satisfaction in his heart.

These are what he has collected in the restricted area since he studied with Master Bai, most of them are from the outer edge of the restricted area, and a small part is taken from the depths.

There are many poisonous weeds and few medicinal herbs.

Xu Qing checked first, and then sat on the ground with thoughtful eyes.

Although the Baidan recipes given to him by Master Bai are all hidden in the daily lessons, Xu Qing has the habit of taking notes and has a good memory, so he sorted them out a long time ago, but...refining Baidan He doesn't have all the herbs.

"So there is no way to refine it completely according to the pill formula, but it should be possible to replace or blend it with other herbs according to the medicinal properties of the herbs."

Xu Qing murmured, he didn't know if this method was useful, but even if it failed, he could increase his experience in blending and refining.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing waved his right hand, and immediately seven or eight kinds of medicinal herbs flew out from different small grids and landed in front of him.

After careful inspection, Xu Qing thought for a while, and left the pharmacy to go to the backyard. In addition to various colorful flowers, there was also a small piece of open mud field where many herbs were planted.

These are all vegetation with limited use time and cannot be left out of the soil for too long. Xu Qing moved here, and over time, it became a small medicine field.

Now as Xu Qing approached the small medicine field, the howling of wolves could be heard more clearly not far away.

Xu Qing looked normal, ignored it, pulled three kinds of herbs in the medicine field, turned and left.

After returning to the pharmacy, he took out a stone basin and started to prepare according to the knowledge he had learned.

Whether it was picking leaves, extracting juice, or popping pollen, he did it very carefully. After trying to be exact, he continued to mix, and the liquid in the stone basin gradually turned black.

"Five herbs are missing..."

Xu Qing looked at the small grids around him, took out some after thinking about it, and tried to create a satisfactory effect with the help of the method of yin and yang.

But obviously this kind of thing is very difficult, so it was not until the night passed, when it was dawn outside, that he reluctantly mixed the required herbs.

Looking at the dark mucus in the stone basin, Xu Qing frowned.

This is not quite the same as Bai Dan in his imagination, but he has achieved this, and it is obviously impossible to give up.

So Xu Qing gritted his teeth, took out a lot of horse chestnuts, and mixed them in according to the proportion.

In the next moment, the medicinal liquid in the stone basin boiled directly, and the color showed signs of changing, but this change only lasted for three breaths, and then stopped.

When I looked at it, the color of the liquid medicine in the stone basin was no longer pitch black, but brown.

Xu Qing hesitated, and touched the purple crystal on his chest. Considering that he had a strong antibody against the toxin, he felt relieved, raised his hand and carefully reached into the stone basin, grabbed a little medicinal mud and kneaded it into a pill, and put it Sniffed before the nose.

A smell of fish came out, making Xu Qing afraid to eat it.

"Can I eat it..." Xu Qing struggled a little, and after pondering, he walked out with the elixir and went to the medicine field.

As soon as he approached, the howl of wolves came out again, Xu Qing kept walking, walked through the medicine field, and went straight to the place where the howl of wolves came from.

Soon, in the weeds behind the medicine field, a large cage made of iron vines appeared in front of Xu Qing.

In the cage, there was a thin black-scaled wolf lying there weakly.

After seeing Xu Qing, it immediately stood up, bared its teeth and let out a low growl, but the horror in its eyes already showed its fear of Xu Qing.

This black-scaled wolf was met by Xu Qing when he was collecting medicine in the deep jungle. At that time, the other party wanted to attack him, but he caught it and didn't kill it. It was locked here and became a medicine test animal.

Noticing the black pill in Xu Qing's hand, the black-scaled wolf immediately trembled and backed away.

But it was still too late, Xu Qing reached into the cage with his left hand, grabbed the black-scaled wolf by the neck, and dragged it to the front as it struggled.

Xu Qing was expressionless, staring at the trembling black-scaled wolf with cold eyes, took out the refined medicine with his right hand, and put it near its mouth.

The black scaled wolf trembled more and more, and finally succumbed to the threat of death, opened its mouth and obediently ate it.

After a while, the black-scaled wolf emitted black smoke all over his body, vomited, and a big lump bulged up on his head, which soon shattered with a bang, and his body went limp, lying there panting.

Xu Qing frowned, threw a few pieces of meat in, turned back to the pharmacy, and sat there thinking hard.

"How could it be ineffective...the final onset of the effect of the medicine, there are some problems, this is not to resolve the heterogeneity, it is to explode the heterogeneity."

After a while, Xu Qing felt that it was due to the lack of an introduction. He needed a medicine introduction to purify the effect of these liquid medicines.

"For the introduction, you can use snake venom to prepare it."

When Xu Qing waved his hand, three different poisonous glands flew towards him. After he squeezed out the poisonous juice, the medicinal liquid in the stone basin made a whistling sound and a puff of green smoke rose.

The smoke contained strong poison, Xu Qing saw it so, immediately raised his right hand and waved it, blowing up the wind to disperse the poisonous smoke out of the room, and put the medicine pot aside to wait for it to ferment.

While waiting, Xu Qing crossed his knees, closed his eyes and breathed out, practicing the Sea Mountain Jue.

When it was getting late, Xu Qing opened his eyes, checked the viscous medicinal liquid after fermentation, took out some, rubbed it, and went to the black-scaled wolf again.

After a while, amidst a series of loud bangs, Xu Qing walked back depressed, sat there and continued to think. He even took out the finished white pill, melted it and studied it a little bit.

In this way, time passed, and soon six days passed.

During these six days, Xu Qing seemed to have forgotten everything outside and was immersed in the research and development of Baidan.

He has already used more than half of the medicinal herbs in the small grid in the pharmacy, and the medicinal fields are almost empty, and the refined white pill liquid has been improved by him more than ten times.

As for that black-scaled wolf...

After the last test of the medicine, the heterogeneity in the opponent's body instantly reached the limit, and even triggered the convergence of heterogeneity in the surrounding psionic energy, which instantly turned into a blood mist and collapsed.

If it wasn't for Xu Qing's shadow that could absorb the heterogeneity, perhaps that gathering of the heterogeneity would have invaded his whole body.

This scene made Xu Qing a little discouraged.

But he knew that Bai Dan was not so easy to refine, especially if he did not have all the herbs to make it, it was even more difficult.

But despite this, his experience in deployment has increased. At the same time, among the more than ten improvements, the last one, although not successful, has some effects.

It's just that this effect is completely opposite to that of Bai Dan.

Bai Dan is to dissolve the heterogeneity, and Xu Qing's last improved elixir is to quickly attract the heterogeneity.

At this moment, he looked down at the stone basin in front of him.

There is a layer of cyan diaphragm on the inner surface of the basin, which is formed by the melting of seven-leaf clover, and under this diaphragm is an extremely black liquid medicine.

The reason why the diaphragm is used is because once the diaphragm disappears, the medicinal liquid does not need to be swallowed, and it will attract the dense heterogeneous aggregation by itself.

Half of that black scaled wolf's death was caused by this.

Xu Qing sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, felt the fluctuation of cultivation in his body, and then dissipated some frustration.

Although the elixir was not going well, his cultivation base has grown very rapidly during this period of practice, and now he has reached the completion of the fifth level of the Sea Mountain Jue.

"Tonight, we should be able to break through to the sixth floor."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, put aside the matter of the pill, with anticipation in his eyes, and went all out to attack his cultivation.

In a troubled world, every point of strength increased, the possibility of survival would also increase by one point.

That night, when the bright moon was hanging high, there was a loud roar from Xu Qing's body.

This time the sound was much louder than before. Xu Qing, who originally thought that there was no dirt in his body, released a lot of impurities at this moment.

While an unprecedented sense of transparency permeated Xu Qing's whole body, there was a faint roar from behind him.

The mandrill shadow that used to be transformed only when he punched, now also transformed behind him, with a bigger body and a stronger ferocity, and even no longer one leg, but two legs.

Especially... the Mandrill Shadow that appeared had a faint horn on its head! !
This is not a mandrill, this is the prototype of the mandrill!
The moment it appeared, the silent roar from Chukui spread in all directions, causing the cries of many strange beasts in the dark forest to stop abruptly at this moment.

Xu Qing's eyes slowly opened, and the purple light instantly illuminated the entire pharmacy, like a purple lightning flashing across.

And amidst the purple light and Chu Kui's roar behind him, Xu Qing, who was sitting there expressionless, gave people a sense of oppression that he had never felt before.

After a while, with the purple light in his eyes disappearing and the figure behind him disappearing, Xu Qing murmured.

"Sea Mountain Jue, sixth floor!"
