841 Young People Do Not Observe Martial Virtues! (4)

“It is indeed effective!”

Even so, Xu Qing still threw the old man’s box away. Even though he had sensed that there was nothing wrong earlier, he couldn’t be certain that there weren’t undetectable methods at play.

However, before he threw it away, he put some poison inside. After that, he used the box he snatched as a storage item and gradually left this area of the Heavenly Fire Sea.

A day after he left, the mysterious human old man suddenly appeared at the place where he had thrown the box. After searching for a while, he found the box.

However, as soon as he touched it, the old man’s expression changed and he quickly threw it away. He immediately took out antidote pills and swallowed them while cursing.

“What the hell? Are all the youths from the other regions so treacherous? Not only do they throw things around, but they also release poison. They don’t care about martial ethics!”

The old man said resentfully and turned to leave. However, at the next instant, he lowered his head and saw his rotting hand. After discovering that the antidote pills had no effect, he gasped.

“What the f*ck is this poison!”

While the old man’s heart was pounding, Xu Qing was coldly looking at a trembling Mirror Image Race cultivator in front of him. The other party originally had three companions who had been summoned by the race to help seal and inspect this large area.

After seeing Xu Qing, they stopped and questioned him, wanting to check his storage bag.

Xu Qing had encountered such a thing several times in the past few days. He wasn’t the only one being searched. Other than the Heavenly Mask Race, the Mirror Image Race was checking all the foreign races.

Hence, Xu Qing took action. After killing a few of them, he captured this person alive and communicated amicably.

“The purpose of the top-grade Heavenly Fire Crystals is to offer them to the Red Moon Shrine…”

“The Red Moon Temple arrives every hundred years, floating beneath the cracks in the depths of the Heavenly Fire Sea. It waits there to collect offerings from various races in the nearby areas, and the heavenly fire crystals are one of those offerings.”

“Other than that, there will be other requests every time. Everything has to be satisfied.”

The member of the Mirror Image Race in front of Xu Qing trembled as he spoke.

His body was covered in injuries, especially the mirror on his forehead. There were more than ten cracks on it and a fishbone was floating in front of his head.

Xu Qing fell silent. This was already the fourth Mirror Image Race cultivator he had asked on the way. The answer he obtained was the same. He also asked about the arrival of the Mirror Image Race’s state preceptor who was also in the Heavenly Fire Sea.

He also knew that the state preceptor’s cultivation was at the Spirit Repository. Moreover, there were a total of three Spirit Repository experts in the Mirror Image Race. As for how many secret repositories they had, ordinary clansmen didn’t know.

Presumably, the Heavenly Mask Race was in a similar situation.

“No Nihility?”

Xu Qing was a little surprised.

He didn’t believe that there wasn’t a Nihility cultivator. Moreover, even if there really wasn’t one, the Spirit Repository experts were still a threat to him.

Hence, Xu Qing became even more vigilant and glanced at the fishbone.

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor in the fish bone immediately understood. He stabbed fiercely and the fishbone directly pierced through the mirror. As a cracking sound echoed, the body and soul of the Mirror Image Race cultivator were destroyed.

His nascent souls had already been seized by Xu Qing previously.

When Xu Qing left, there were more than ten heavenly demon bodies floating behind him.

They were like ghosts, emitting a cold aura as they floated around Xu Qing, causing Xu Qing’s entire person to be filled with an evil intent.

“No matter what, it’s best to leave first.”

Xu Qing fell silent and flew toward the shore.

Even he couldn’t stay in this area of the Heavenly Fire Sea for a long time. The heat was terrifying, and every time the magma flower exploded, it would cause the temperature here to increase even more.

Xu Qing could sense that his body was almost at the limit of its endurance. Hence, he planned to return to the shore to rest before changing directions to continue refining his life lanterns.

After all, there were too many cultivators from the two races in this area of the Heavenly Fire Sea.

Also, he had to find a safe place to study the specific uses of his Sundial life lantern.

During these few days, although he researched it, the surroundings were filled with danger and he couldn’t calm his mind.

“And that old man, what’s his identity?”

Xu Qing had also asked the Mirror Image cultivator about this but the other party didn’t recognize his description. Presumably, the appearance that the old man revealed was fake.

All of this made Xu Qing very vigilant.

Just like that, several days later, amidst his caution, Xu Qing finally left the Heavenly Fire Sea and arrived at a shore.

There, he chose a bare mountain peak, dug out a cave abode as his temporary residence, and set up array formations around it.

It was only when everything was done that Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, heaved a long sigh of relief.

After he barely felt a sense of security, he didn’t hesitate. His mind fused into his Sundial life lantern and through the guidance of his bloodline, he carefully dug out the effects of this lantern.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the pitch-black cave abode, Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes. A hint of excitement appeared on his face.

“I see.”
