445 Golden Light on the Wrist! (2)
Another day passed.
By now, the third Heavenly Palace in his body was 90% pitch-black. It was the same for fusion and transformation. However, the sealing light of the black door had lost its effect.
“90%…” Xu Qing mumbled. The light in his eyes dimmed and the world in front of him was blurry. However, he didn’t panic.
Everything was still under his control.
However, the consumption was indeed beyond his expectations.
As he struggled, Xu Qing glanced at the bottles and jars in front of him. These were all obtained from Nether Fairy.
They contained pills inside. Although they had different effects, Xu Qing had already checked them before. Now, the ones placed in front of him were all pills that more or less contained life force.
These were the fourth wave of help he had prepared for himself to fuse the poison pill.
He crushed the bottles and very soon, colorful medicinal pills flew into his body and rapidly melted, emitting vitality that nourished his entire body.
Although the effect of this nourishment was ordinary, there were many of them. According to Xu Qing’s plan, it should be enough.
However, at this moment, Xu Qing’s gaze suddenly landed on his right wrist. There was no flesh and blood there, only black bones.
Looking at the bones on his wrist, a hint of confusion appeared in Xu Qing’s dim eyes.
That place actually emitted a faint golden light at this moment.
This golden light was extremely weak. If one didn’t take a closer look, they wouldn’t be able to sense it at all.
In fact, it was undetectable when it was covered by flesh and blood.
Even his divine sense found it difficult to probe, let alone sense it.
It appeared extremely suddenly and disappeared in a flash.
Xu Qing didn’t feel anything when it disappeared.
He also didn’t notice any changes in his body.
Amidst his doubts, the speed at which the medicinal pills fused into his body and emitted vitality seemed to have sped up slightly. As they permeated Xu Qing’s entire body and nourished him, the poison power of the poison pill in the third Heavenly Palace also slightly weakened.
Not only that, but the fusion speed of the third palace and the poison pill also inexplicably sped up a little.
All of this caused the fusion and transformation of the poisonous pill to suddenly rise. Very soon, the last part of the third Heavenly Palace instantly turned pitch-black.
It reached 100%!
As it completely fused, a feeling of connection with his body appeared in Xu Qing’s mind.
Xu Qing’s body trembled.
At the next instant, all the poison in his body rapidly contracted and returned to the third Heavenly Palace in unison, no longer existing at all.
His weak body began to recover under the power of the purple crystal, and the speed seemed to be faster than usual.
His flesh grew again, his sea of consciousness healed rapidly, and the bright fire of life rose in his soul again.
Under the robe, his body slowly gained muscles. Although he was still skinny, his condition had gotten better.
It was also at this moment that he sensed that the purple crystal’s recovery power had returned to normal.
Xu Qing didn’t think that all of this was inevitable.
He thought of that fleeting but very weak golden light.
It could even be said that if Xu Qing hadn’t noticed the faint golden light on the bone of his wrist earlier, he wouldn’t have felt anything strange at this moment. He would naturally ignore this series of almost imperceptible changes and be occupied by the excitement of success.
However, now that he looked at it, one could still be said to be a coincidence. However, there were too many coincidences and that meant there existed an issue.
“That’s not right!”
Xu Qing’s mind shook. He abruptly stood up and was about to look at his right wrist.
However, at that moment, as his third Heavenly Palace fused with the Poison Restriction Pill and his life force was connected, it caused the poison pill that had lost its spirituality to show signs of recovery just as Xu Qing had expected.
This sign manifested an intense hunger.
Xu Qing’s body trembled. The flesh and blood that had just recovered rapidly withered again.
However, it didn’t rot like before. Instead, it continued to wither, revealing extreme hunger.
This feeling caused Xu Qing’s eyes to turn red.
Just like back then when he cultivated Golden Crow Refines All Life.
Xu Qing’s breathing was hurried and his eyes were red. He abruptly turned his head to look at the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and shadow.
The shadow and Diamond almost screamed when they saw his gaze. At that moment, they were trembling in intense fear. Xu Qing’s gaze became increasingly terrifying.
He seemed to be unable to control himself and his mouth secreted a large amount of saliva.
At the same time, in the boundless Forbidden Sea, in an area very far away from the Yinghuang Province, in the deepest part of the seabed, there was a huge ruin.
To be precise, this was a ruin at the bottom of the sea that was drowned in endless darkness.
If one could see through the darkness, they would be able to see that there were countless ruined ancient buildings here.
The entire ruin was desolate and deathly silent. One could vaguely see some broken statues.
These statues were all women in black armor. Every one of them was extremely beautiful and had a shocking aura. There were white dragon snakes coiling around their bodies.
Underneath these ruins, in the depths of the seabed, there was a huge catacomb.
There was no seawater filled with anomalous substances in the catacomb. There was only a teleportation array and an extremely vast altar.
There was a skeleton in the air above the altar.
Looking at the pelvis, this skeleton was a woman when it was alive.
Her body was very tall and there were dragon and snake bones coiled around her body. She was sitting on the dragon head while the snake head was beside her. The dragon and snake seemed to be protecting her and were willing to live and die with her.
Under the skeleton and on the altar, a young girl with flawless appearance and snow-white skin was sitting cross-legged.
Her eyelashes were very long and they were trembling slightly at this moment until her face turned a little red. A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, dyeing the ground and her white clothes red.
The instant she spat out the blood, a furious roar rang out from afar.
“Damn it, damn it. How many times has it been? What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to die? You actually wrapped your life thread around that little bastard surnamed Xu behind my back. Ahhh!!”
As the furious roar echoed, the old man from Panquan Road ran over from afar with disheveled hair. Although he was cursing, his face was filled with heartache. He quickly took out medicinal pills and fed them to the young girl whose body was on the verge of collapse.
“Ling’er, this isn’t how your talent is used. That little b*stard was born to seek death and is a short-lived ghost. You cannot enhance his luck every time!”
The young girl’s eyelashes fluttered slightly and she opened her eyes. Her eyes were pure and there were no impurities in them. Her expression was a little timid as she spoke softly.
“Brother Xu Qing isn’t a short-lived ghost.”
The old man from Panquan Road almost spat out blood. Looking at the timid girl, he stomped his feet fiercely and sighed sadly.
“Damn it. I shouldn’t have gone to the Seven Blood Eyes to sell the bizarre entity. I shouldn’t have stayed still the first time I saw that little bastard. If I had known earlier, I would have killed him when I saw him. I don’t understand. You have only seen him a few times and nothing even happened between you two. What do you like about him?!”
When the young girl heard this, confusion appeared in her eyes.
“I don’t know what I like either. I just feel close to him. When I see him, I feel very happy and my heart will race. I get nervous thinking if he hates me. If Brother Xu Qing is happy, I am also very happy.”
“You’re still too young. You don’t even know what you like. How can you call it love? When you grow up and become an adult, you’ll know what you want!” The old man said earnestly.
The girl’s eyes looked even more blank. After a long time, she lifted her head and looked at the old man as she timidly spoke.
“Father, I don’t understand the love of you adults. Do you love someone because of a goal? Then does that mean you like yourself or the other party?”
The old man was stunned. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the pure gaze of the young girl in front of him, he couldn’t say anything.
