Chapter 48: Is the body for sale? (Third shift)
The sea breeze blew, lifting Xu Qing's hair.
He walked forward, letting the wind lift his hair and blow the legs of his pants like a knife that was about to be sheathed, his eyes glowing with a cold aura as he glanced at the woman who had changed direction and left.
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to kill someone on his first day here, so he withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the inn.
But while the trees wanted to be quiet, the wind was not.
The sea breeze was coming ashore at the moment, and the assault was even more intense.
The seven or eight big men who were chasing the woman in front of them, a man with a scar on his face inside, as if he was the leader, sneered after seeing this scene.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, take this kid down for me as well, the fluctuation of the sixth or seventh layer of Body Refinement, I think it's also someone who has contribution points!"
Between the words, these seven or eight people immediately split into two, four of them chasing after the woman, while the remaining four were heading straight for Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's brows furrowed as his gaze swept over to the approaching four, who were also not unusual, all of them were cultivators, with their cultivation mostly at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and all of them appeared to be majoring in Body Refinement.
But he really didn't want to immediately kill someone just after coming to this city, so he stepped back and avoided them, passing out low words.
"I don't know her."
"Little brat, whether you recognize her or not, count yourself unlucky!" The big man who lunged at him, sneered, waved his hand and blasted a fist directly, the other three also made their own strikes, one of them holding a knife in his hand in a sardonic smile.
In the moonlight, the blade of the knife shone coldly, with poison smeared on it.
Xu Qing's eyes dropped.
Some people in this world, always like to hover in front of the ghost gate, he did not want to take action, but the other party has the intention to kill, Xu Qing silence in the body shook, no longer retreat.
Instead, the entire person was like lightning, instantly appearing in front of the person wielding the fist, his left hand lifting up to land on this person's forehead.
The speed was astonishingly fast and swift.
Bang, screams did not even come out, this big man's head under Xu Qing's amazing force comparable to the great circle of body refining, directly burst open, blood and flesh in the Xu Qing calm expression, a step out, to the front of the person holding the knife, in the person's horror with a shoulder bump.
This knife holder, half of his body suddenly collapsed.
Xu Qing then threw two punches in the air, striking at the remaining two people whose eyes widened and faces changed drastically.
These two were just about to retreat, but fluctuations appeared in the mid-air in front of them, covering them in an instant, instantly these two's bodies trembled intensely, blood spurting out, chest sunken in, completely shattered, and died of gas.
Everything is also two breaths, all four people died.
This scene, so that not far away from the four big men who divided their troops, also all footsteps, dumbfounded looking at the expressionless Xu Qing, a scalp seems to be about to explode.
"Mistake ...... misunderstanding ...... us ......" That leader, the arrogance of the party completely disappeared, his body trembling just about to open his mouth, but when he saw the ice coldness contained in Xu Qing's sweeping gaze, his mind roared as he frantically retreated.
And just at the moment he retreated, Xu Qing moved.
In the next instant, the other three people other than this leader, one by one, their bodies trembled as blood spurted out, their temples revealing bloody holes, and they collapsed to the ground.
Xu Qing's figure revealed itself from their side, withdrawing his blood-stained fingers and taking a step towards the fleeing leader.
Xu Qing's habit was to not kill, but once he struck, he had to exterminate the hidden dangers.
At this moment, under a sway, approaching the other party, Xu Qing raised his right hand with an indifferent expression, about to fall.
"Fellow Daoist, I am the Night King's people, don't be impulsive ......" The leader's mind was appalled, and his expression of despair hurriedly opened his mouth.
Xu Qing's right hand lurched, looking at the pale, intensely shivering big man in front of him.
"Seven Blood Pupil disciple?"
"Not Seven Blood Pupil, but ......" the big man froze, subconsciously answered, but the words were not waiting to finish, Xu Qing's right hand had already fallen and slapped on the big man's forehead.
With a bang, blood splattered everywhere.
Xu Qing bent down, and after wiping his hands on the corpse, he raised his head to look into the darkened distance, and pondered for a moment, he wasn't familiar with the terrain here, so he didn't go looking for the woman who had fled.
But the other's appearance, he remembered.
He then lowered his head and was about to dispose of the corpse, but suddenly his mind moved, Xu Qing fiercely turned back to look at the inn in the distance, his body forming an attacking stance.
At the entrance of that inn, at some point, an old man had appeared, this old man was wearing a shopkeeper-like robe, somewhat hunched over, full of age spots, with a waxy complexion and a sickly look.
After noticing Xu Qing's gaze, he grinned his yellowed teeth and smiled.
"Kid, are those corpses for sale? How about eight corpses, ten spirit coins a piece."
Xu Qing froze, this was the first time he had heard of someone wanting to buy corpses, so he gave the old man a wary look, didn't say a word, and lowered his head to deal with it.
After being rejected, the old man shook his head helplessly.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, this freshly dead corpse is the freshest."
After a long time, Xu Qing finished handling it and looked towards the inn, his heart somewhat hesitant to go and stay there.
Seemingly seeing Xu Qing's hesitation, the old man outside the inn smiled and spoke.
"You look like you just came here, basically the neighborhood is still open except for this one of mine, the others are all closed, eighty spirit coins or eighty contribution points a night, fair and square."
"Contribution points?" Xu Qing looked towards the old man, he had heard that woman who planted herself before, talking about contribution points.
"Sure enough, you're new here, you'll know about contribution points later, they're worth the same as spirit coins." The old man grinned.
Xu Qing's brows furrowed, he felt that everything in this city was oozing with oddities, spirit coins and contribution points were worth the same, the corpse someone wanted to buy, and the price of the house was so outrageous.
"Don't mind the price, the nights within the main city are not peaceful, the other inns that are open, the prices are not cheap, the rooms I have here, nowadays, there can only be two left." The old man opened his mouth with a leathery smile.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment, looking at the sky, and then at the old man, as he pondered, his eyes narrowed and swept towards the street, where a bloody shadow was currently approaching at a rapid pace, aiming for this very inn.
Upon approaching it revealed the figure of a cultivator, without saying a word he threw out a leather pouch filled with spirit coins and stepped into the inn and disappeared.
"Now there is only one room left." The old man opened his mouth with a smile as he looked at the leather bag in his hand.
Xu Qing thought about it and simply walked over, giving his spirit coins and opening the last room on the second floor, before walking into the room, he turned downstairs back to the counter, smoking a pipe, the old man, and opened his mouth to ask.
"What did you buy those corpses for?"
The old man looked up and grinned.
"The family has a small pet that likes this, but unfortunately, you're not selling it to me yet. In the future, if you still have this kind of thing, remember to sell it to me, the price is good."
Xu Qing was silent, glancing at the old man and walking into the room.
Here he carefully inspected the place and after making sure that it was fine, Xu Qing pushed open the window and looked outside.
In the darkness of the night, the city was pitch black, and the bright moonlight from the sky spilled down, as if giving this black city, a mysterious veil.
The whistling ship's whistle on the sea in the distance, passed along with the waves, and in the beam of light from the lighthouse, one could faintly see a huge boat, slowly approaching.
Looking at these, Xu Qing recalled the words of the female disciple beside the transmission array, and in his heart, he had realized that this city was like a deep pool, hiding too many dangers, and he also finally knew that those faint smells of blood, how did it come about, after all, he himself, just now, had also added a strand of blood to this city.
Here, with his previous life environment, in the building and neatness of the difference is very big, but the root of it, it seems that there is no difference.
"After all, it's a chaotic world ......," Xu Qing muttered, no longer pondering on these, but instead considering the next initiation test.
"Although the probability is high that I should be able to pass the test, but I also need to be prepared for where to go once I don't pass, there is also the old ancestor of the Vajra Sect, which is currently my biggest threat, I need to improve myself as soon as possible, and then get him killed."
In this thought, outside the sky is getting later and later, although there is no hissing and eerie sounds of foreign beasts, but with the wind blowing in, came the sound of shouting and wanton laughter, full of the dark side of humanity.
Xu Qing was accustomed to it and paid no attention to it, lowering his head and taking out a cloth bag from his body.
This item, which he had scavenged within the Vajra Sect, and had also checked on the way, was extremely surprised in his heart.
This cloth bag looks very small, only palm-sized, but in fact after opening it contains Qiankun, the number of items that can be accommodated within it is as large as the size of a bed.
This kind of item, which he had heard of in the scavenger camp, was called a storage bag.
The storage bag, in the area where Xu Qing had lived before, was an extremely rare item, incredibly valuable and difficult to buy.
Just this storage bag alone was enough to make the Vajra Sect's flesh ache, not to mention the fact that it contained several dan bottles, all of which contained Dust Cleansing Dans.
There were more than thirty pills.
And compared to this, what makes Xu Qing road more surprised is the one hundred and eleven ...... spirit stones inside!
Xu Qing had never seen spirit stones, but Lei Team had once popularized some knowledge to him during a meal, which contained spirit stones.
That was something too much more precious than spirit coins, a single one was equal to a thousand spirit coins, it was made from a high concentration of spirit energy, and could be used for direct cultivation at critical moments, and any piece of it was worth a lot of money, and described the appearance, so that's why Xu Qing recognized it.
These items were his greatest harvest within the Vajra Sect, as for the other miscellaneous items, they were nothing compared to the storage bag and spirit stones.
And even though Xu Qing had already checked it many times on the way, after finishing organizing it at this moment, he was still shocked by this fortune that hit his mind, this was the greatest wealth he had ever acquired since he was a child.
"If the test isn't passed, then this amount of money should also allow me to accelerate my cultivation in this Seven Blood Pupil Main City, right ......," Xu Qing muttered and whispered, closing his eyes and starting to cultivate.
Regardless of where he was, regardless of how the next test would be, for Xu Qing, cultivation was unstoppable, it was the root of his establishment in the world, and the best guarantee to survive.
After all, in a chaotic world, something as seemingly eternal as sunrise and sunset could change one day.
Everything is possible.
The only constant is the weak and the strong.
And ...... where there are a lot of people, in Xu Qing's experience, the degree of danger is even greater than the forbidden zone, because the sinister nature of the human heart is the most difficult to judge.
This was especially true of the Seven Blood Pupil Main City, which was clearly harboring menace and mystery.
For the teenager, this place, too, was a forbidden zone.
Another kind of forbidden zone.
