Chapter 15: The Peerless Divine Lotus
Xu Qing carefully hid behind a boulder on the shore, took out a stack of spirit runes, including the two spirit runes that Xiao Ming gave him, and waited for the opportunity to make a move.
After the young man sat down and breathed, Xu Qing saw that he could not miss the opportunity, jumped out from behind the boulder, and quickly smashed a stack of spirit runes at the young man.
The young man was obviously very cautious, as soon as Xu Qing jumped out, the young man noticed it, and just wanted to dodge, he saw that Xu Qing just threw out a stack of spirit runes, a trace of disdain flashed in the young man's eyes, and he didn't bother to dodge, so he directly sacrificed a shield, and at the same time, the flying sword turned into a streamer and shot towards Xu Qing.
After Xu Qing threw out the spirit rune, he sacrificed the somewhat damaged shield in front of him, and was a little uneasy, and then injected mana into the only remaining spirit rune in his hand.
With a surge of spiritual energy, the spirit rune turned into ashes, and Xu Qing put on an ice armor in an instant, and the sunlight reflected a colorful brilliance, which was gorgeous and dazzling.
The young man obviously didn't expect such a change, the flying sword stabbed at Xu Qing as always, and when he reacted, it was too late to control the flying sword to change direction.
The flying sword was in the middle of the shield, the shield was only slightly blocked, and it was completely shattered, and the flying sword hit the ice armor with a "ding" sound, and the flying sword only scratched a shallow mark on the surface of the ice armor, Xu Qing was naturally unharmed, he took advantage of the situation to split the young man to the side, and the ice armor on his body also melted like spring snow, and the time of a few breaths disappeared completely.
Seeing this, a flash of joy flashed in the young man's eyes, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of unease, the spiritual pressure emitted by the stack of spirit runes in the air had far exceeded his estimate, and just as he wanted to dodge, an ice pick had already flashed over.
There was almost no suspense, and the shield shattered into countless pieces with a "click", but the ice pick did not have the slightest momentum, and passed directly through the young man's abdomen and shot into the distance.
"Xuan...... Stairs... Talismans!" With a thick unwillingness on his face, the young man struggled to say a few words and then fell to the ground, the abdomen penetrated by the ice pick did not shed the slightest blood, and a lot of ice crystals had condensed around his abdomen at this moment, exuding a trace of coldness.
There are four levels of spirit runes: heaven level, earth level, Xuan level, and yellow level, and each level is divided into upper grade, middle grade, and lower grade. The spirit rune that Xiao Ming gave to Xu Qing turned out to be a Xuan-level spirit rune, and the young man obviously didn't expect Xu Qing to have a Xuan-level spirit rune, so he died in Xu Qing's hands in vain.
If Xu Qing used the Xuan-level spirit rune alone, the young man would definitely be able to find out the strangeness in it, and he would not choose to resist hard, and it was not yet known who would kill the deer at that time.
It's just that Xu Qing used the Xuan-level spirit runes together with his own lowest-level spirit runes, don't look at the stack of spirit runes, which is not very powerful, but the momentum is very strong, and the sky is full of fire, which does not let the young man find the abnormality.
Xu Qing steamed his clothes dry, and after a little pranayama, he began to clean up the scene, a top-grade flying sword weapon for the young man, a top-grade long rope magic weapon, a medium-grade flying sword, and a high-grade flying sword weapon for the middle-aged man were naturally included in Xu Qing's pocket, and there were two storage bags that were still in the future.
Although these two people are not good people, but the dead are the greatest, and it is impossible for Xu Qing to storm the bodies of the two in the wilderness, and the two of them were completely turned into ashes and scattered in the wind after performing two fireball techniques. This is Xu Qing's first time killing someone, but he doesn't have much psychological burden, after all, it was they who had bad intentions first, no wonder he, if they don't die, the last person to die must be himself.
Xu Qing opened the middle-aged man's storage bag first, and there were only more than a hundred spirit stones, a few jade bottles, and a few jade boxes in it. Xu Qing opened the jade bottle, and there were twenty Qi Containment Pills, and there were only one of the several jade boxes with a two-hundred-year-old Fire Tongue Grass in the jade box, and the rest were empty.
After Xu Qing put everything into his storage bag, he began to check the young man's storage bag, the young man's storage bag contained more than eight hundred spirit stones, twelve Qi Accumulation Pills, several empty jade boxes, and many spirit runes, he was even richer than the average core disciple.
"It's really cost-effective to kill people and rob money!" Xu Qing secretly sighed, his eyes were full of little stars, today's harvest was really expensive, and the elixir needed for cultivation for a long time in the future didn't have to worry at all.
Although killing people and robbing money can quickly obtain spirit stones, it is impossible to let Xu Qing kill people and rob money for the spirit stones, after all, Xu Qing has a deep chivalrous feeling in his bones, and he hates those who do evil in the rivers and lakes, and Xu Qing is unwilling to be with them. Of course, if someone else takes the initiative to send him to the door with the idea of killing people and robbing money, it will be a different matter.
Xu Qing walked to the waterfall and thought about how to pick the elixir through the water curtain. The perennial erosion has made the cliff wall have been recessed a lot, and there are still a lot of gaps between the water curtain and the cliff wall.
The space behind the water curtain was not as narrow as Xu Qing imagined, and the further he went to the bottom, the more space there became, but Xu Qing didn't pay attention to these details, and at this moment his eyes were completely attracted by a divine lotus below.
Xu Qing didn't expect that he just said casually that behind the water curtain it was really a peerless divine lotus. The lotus grew in the corner of the cliff, where the water was unusually calm, and it seemed that it had not been affected in the slightest.
The lotus stands gracefully like a girl, there are not many lotus leaves, and the water is very high, and you can vaguely see a lotus pod hiding in it like a naughty child. There are a few petals of the divine lotus floating on the water, crystal clear, and the surface of the petals seems to be flowing with a faint five-color aura, which is beautiful, and Xu Qing can't help but be a little stupid.
Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving.
Is this still a thousand-year-old elixir? Xu Qing didn't know, but Xu Qing was sure that this divine lotus was by no means comparable to an ordinary thousand-year-old elixir.
Xu Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to pick the divine lotus. When picking, Xu Qing was careful so that the whole Divine Lotus would not be harmed at all, because his spirit was highly concentrated, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his face.
The lotus has been fully matured, the crystal lotus canopy is as clear as the divine jade, there are only five lotus seeds on the lotus canopy, the colors are different, and the surface of the whole lotus pod also flows with a faint five-color glow, like a dream.
The whole Divine Lotus was exposed to the air at the moment when the lotus root broke away from the water surface, the lotus leaves and stems withered rapidly, and at the same time, the lotus pod and lotus root became more and more crystalline, and the five lotus seeds became more and more brilliant, as if they had dedicated all their essence to the lotus pod and lotus root, Xu Qing was surprised again, and was more and more sure of the extraordinaryness of this divine lotus.
Xu Qing took out two jade boxes and put the lotus root and lotus pod into it respectively, and then took out a jade box to put a few lotus petals floating on the water into it, and after cleaning it up, Xu Qing did not rush out, but thought about something carefully.
This Divine Lotus is so extraordinary, if you let others know, it is likely to bring a bloody disaster to yourself. Uncle Xiao has always treated him well, Xu Qing intuitively felt that Uncle Xiao would not harm him, and if it wasn't for the two spirit runes that Uncle Xiao gave him, maybe he would have returned to the underworld, how could he get such a divine lotus, so Xu Qing didn't plan to hide it from Uncle Xiao.
The grievances are clear, Xu Qing is such a person, and although the natural treasure is good, it must also be used by life.
