Outside of Time

The shape of this animal bone is like a hook, the size of a palm, and it is red in color and shines with a strange light.

If you look carefully, you can see some natural texture on the surface.

These patterns seem to contain some Tao Yun, and can absorb spiritual energy from all directions on their own, turning into wisps of wind that surround Zhang San's palm.

"The Fish Immortal Bone of the Flying Fin Fish? This thing works well with the formation to increase the speed of the boat. Zhang San, why are you so generous today?" The captain of the sixth team ate the pear in his hand and squatted next to Zhang San. Next to him, he bumped Zhang San with his shoulder and spoke with a smile.

"Junior Brother Xu Qing is here for the first time, so I have to express my gratitude." Zhang San said with a simple expression.

Xu Qing did not accept the gift, but looked at the captain to ask for his opinion. He felt that the reason why Zhang San was like this was not because of himself, but most likely because of the captain.

Seeing Xu Qing's eyes, the captain smiled.

"Take it, he gave you this to tell you, don't come here to catch the murderer if you have nothing to do."

Xu Qing glanced at Zhang San when he heard this, and Zhang San smiled innocently.

Xu Qing nodded, took the fish bone, looked at it curiously, and put it in his pocket.

After thinking about it, he followed the captain's example and squatted aside, but keeping a certain distance.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, Zhang San smiled even more sincerely.

"Zhang San, is there anything unusual here recently?" The captain finished the pear in his hand, took out a peach, and bit it.

Xu Qing immediately paid attention and looked at Zhang San.

Zhang San took out a chimney from his body, put it in his mouth, took a puff, and knocked it on the ground. After the ash fell, it turned into a pattern of a human face and a line of writing on the ground.

“There have been a lot of new faces at South Pier recently.”

The captain of the sixth team was thoughtful, patted Zhang San on the shoulder, and smiled at Xu Qing.

"Junior brother, you should go back first. You are on duty today. Remember not to be late tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xu Qing knew that these two people had something to say, so he nodded, clasped his fists towards the captain and Zhang San, and turned to leave.

It was sunset at the moment, and the orange sunlight scattered on him, reflecting the dazzling color on his gray robe. As it went away, the two people squatting behind him raised their heads and stared.

Until Xu Qing walked away, the captain smiled and spoke.

"How is this newcomer? It's rare for you to be generous today."

"Newcomer? Where did you find such a guy? When this guy saw me, his first reaction was to look at my neck. How can I not be generous to such a guy!"

The captain laughed when he heard this.

"Are you still smiling? What kind of habit would develop the instinct to look at people's necks?"

Zhang San smiled bitterly and touched his neck. He still felt a little uncomfortable and took a strong drag on the pipe.

"Of course they are people who are used to cutting their necks." The captain of the sixth team smiled happily. After finishing the peach in his hand, he took out another peach and took a big bite.

"This boy is beautiful, but he has too much evil energy. Even though he tried his best to hide it, I can still feel it, especially his eyes." Zhang San looked a little serious.

"Have you noticed that those are a pair of eyes with a vengeful character? It seems that for him, as long as it conforms to his own principles, there is nothing he can't kill..."

"If you use such a person well, it's fine. If you use him poorly, be careful of the backlash. I can faintly notice that many people have died in his hands, and he also gives me a very dangerous feeling."

"If I encounter him at sea, I will not provoke him easily. I don't want to die." Zhang San looked at the captain of the sixth team seriously.

"Interesting little junior brother." The captain of the sixth team smiled and looked at where Xu Qingyuan was going. It seemed that the more Zhang San said this, the happier he became.

Zhang San sighed helplessly, secretly forgetting that this guy was also abnormal and acted very strangely.

When the captain and Zhang San were talking about Xu Qing, Xu Qing was already walking on the streets of the port. It was almost dusk, the crowds on the streets were gradually thinning out, most pharmacies were closed, and Xu Qing returned to his berth.

After returning, he did not take out the magic boat immediately, but carefully inspected it here.

Yesterday, someone came here with murderous intent, so Xu Qing came back today, checked in detail, and even sprinkled some poisonous powder into the sea to make sure it was OK, then took out the magic boat and stepped into it.

As the Dharma Boat's protection instantly rose, Xu Qing felt slightly reassured as he walked into the cabin.

After sitting down cross-legged, he did not practice immediately, but thought about everything today.

Xu Qing couldn't see through the captain, but he kept everything the other party said in his heart. He intuitively told himself that what the other party said should be true.

On Zhang San's side, Xu Qing faintly noticed that the other party seemed to be hiding some emotions, as if he was a little afraid of himself.

There was also the disciple whose contribution points were reduced to zero, unable to leave on his own, looking at the sky in despair, and was eventually wiped out and turned into ashes.

What he saw this day made Xu Qing realize that most of the disciples who could survive in the brutal environment of the main city of Seven Blood Eyes were not simple, and everything should not be taken at face value.

Like the captain or Zhang San, if any of them were thrown into the scavenger camp, they would probably be able to play with people in the palm of their hands and take them alive or dead.

The entire Seven Blood Pupils, in Xu Qing's eyes, really seemed like another forbidden area at this moment, so he needed to practice harder.

Especially when he thought of the young man wearing a lavender robe that he saw during the day. He was just condensing his energy, but his noble status and the bowed posture of the people around him made Xu Qing feel the familiar class gap.

He has seen a lot of similar class disparities since he was a child, and he knows how to deal with them.

In addition, also out of caution, Xu Qing did not ask the captain for specific information about the person who gave him the token.

If the other party wants to appear, he will appear naturally. If he doesn't want to appear, Xu Qing will not force the answer.

"It's unlikely that it was Master Bai's care." Xu Qing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and started practicing.

An hour later, the outside sky turned completely dark. In this silence, Xu Qing opened his eyes, hesitation in his eyes.

He felt that the speed of cultivation was much lower than yesterday, and he knew why.

If you compare your body to a container, yesterday for him, most of the container was empty, so he could absorb more spiritual energy without any effort. But now, the container is quite full, so during cultivation, he has to Improve your absorption ability to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world.

"Unless you don't have to work hard to absorb it, you can let the spiritual energy flow in, but this requires the richness of external spiritual energy." Xu Qing lowered his head, muttered, then made a secret with his right hand, and pointed towards the ship plank aside.

Suddenly, where he pointed, light shone immediately, and rays of light emerged, filling the entire ark, like a formation.

At this moment, the formation is obviously in operation, causing the spiritual energy from the outside to flow in slowly but continuously. This is also the reason why practicing in the ark is faster than outside.

Because of this formation, it is called Gathering Spirits.

"We need to improve the power source." Xu Qing thought thoughtfully. Through the jade slips of Fazhou, he knew that in addition to the blessing of biological materials, there was another key point in improving Zhouzhou.

That's the power source.

This is the core of a boat. Like the heart, it determines the power of the boat and can be infinitely increased. It is the most expensive part to replace.

At the beginning, the power source of all Seventh Peak disciples' magic arks was just a spirit gathering array, which could slowly absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and store it as a replacement power source.

If the disciple feels that the power is not enough, he can also place spiritual stones on his own to make the power stronger and the formation more powerful.

In addition, the hearts of some powerful alien beasts are often the best material for power sources. The stronger the power, the greater the power of the spirit gathering array. At the same time, regardless of the speed of the ship or its protection, etc., it can also maximize degree of release.

Otherwise, the power source level is not enough, and even if the external configuration is the best, it will be difficult to fully exert it.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing gritted his teeth, took out one of his only ten spirit stones, and placed it on the formation. The next moment, the spirit stones disappeared, and Xu Qing's magic boat shook violently.

When the formation's light was bright, the entire dharma boat seemed to have become a whirlpool, and more intense spiritual energy than before was forcefully sucked in from all directions.

Xu Qing immediately practiced, and this time, his cultivation speed was obviously much faster.

Until dawn, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened, purple light shining in them.

"Sea Transformation Scripture, sixth level!" Xu Qing took a deep breath and felt the sixty-foot spiritual sea in his body. Although it seemed to be only ten feet more than before, these ten feet were the entire range and included a larger area. depth.

Therefore, in terms of quantity, it is much larger. The most important thing is that the types that can be changed are also much more, and so is the power.

"If this continues, in a few days, the Sea Transformation Scripture will be able to reach the same level as the Haishan Jue." Xu Qing was very satisfied with this speed, but sighed that it was too expensive to practice.

In one night, one spirit stone was consumed.

It was getting dark outside now. Xu Qing tidied himself up, walked out of the dharma boat and headed to the murder department to start his work for the next day.

Working in the Murder Division is both a responsibility and a salary. According to the employment information of the identity token, there is a monthly reward of 3,000 contribution points.

So Xu Qing was very serious. Not long after the sun rose, he arrived at the Crime Catching Department. He walked all the way to Xuanbu and saw the captain and members of Team Six.

There were about twenty people in the entire sixth team, both men and women, with different looks, and each one had a good level of cultivation. They also saw Xu Qing, but most of them were indifferent and wary of each other.

Xu Qing was not sociable by nature, so he stayed silent and kept a distance from everyone. Soon, the captain of the sixth team lazily walked out of the room while eating an apple.

"Today's mission is to go out and search for the remnants of Yejiu."

"So don't always keep an eye on those wanted criminals. Although there are many rewards, Yejiu is our key in the near future. Remember, if you find clues, don't alert the snake. Come back and inform the Secretary. The Secretary will arrange for others to investigate the authenticity and the comprehensive layout."

"Now, let's get to work!"

After the captain finished speaking, the members of the six teams dispersed. This time, the captain did not take Xu Qing with him. Instead, he gave him a jade slip recording wanted criminals and asked him to act alone. Xu Qing had no objection to this arrangement, so he quickly He quickly left the murder department, checking the jade slips and patrolling the city.

He didn't know where the inspection direction was, so he followed the captain's behavior yesterday and walked in the port area, remaining vigilant all the way. He even took off the badge of the Criminal Division, and most of the time he appeared in the dark and unnoticed. s position.

In the dark, he looked at the hurried crowds on the street and the various shops with people coming and going. Xu Qing also had a deeper understanding of the prosperity of the main city.

Until he saw someone selling candied haws on the road, Xu Qing remembered his childhood desire, so he went up and bought a bunch, checked to make sure it was normal, and then ate in the dark while moving forward.

He has read all the jade slips of wanted criminals, and he also understands why the captain reminded the members of the sixth team not to always focus on arresting wanted criminals. The rewards inside are actually extremely rich, and the least one is as big as ten spirit stones. , up to hundreds.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and it was slowly reaching noon. Xu Qing, who was eating very slowly and still had one candied haws of sugar to finish, suddenly stopped and looked towards the crowd in the distance.

Wherever he looked, there was a woman in very simple clothes, but her graceful figure could not be concealed. She was skillfully removing two bags from the passing crowd.

Seemingly confident in her own skills, this woman with good looks and figure emptied the leather bag in her hand after walking out of the crowd, with the corners of her mouth raised in a proud smile.

But the smile froze slightly after she saw Xu Qing's expressionless face in the corner not far away.

But soon, she pretended to be shy, blushed and lowered her head, and was about to walk away, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed Xu Qing walking towards her.

This made her very vigilant, but she still didn't recognize Xu Qing, but the instinctive crisis made her quicken her pace and swayed her body to avoid getting into the crowd.

But Xu Qing recognized her.

This woman was the one who framed him a few nights ago and took the opportunity to escape.

He was so harmed that he had to kill someone on the first day.

So Xu Qing finished the last bite of the candied haws in his hand, and flicked the bamboo stick with his right hand. In an instant, it was like a flash of lightning, setting off a roar that broke through the air, and went straight towards the woman.

The speed was so fast that the woman's expression changed drastically and she had no time to dodge. Before her body could be submerged into the crowd, her right foot was suddenly penetrated by the bamboo stick, and with a bang, her delicate body was nailed to the ground.

Screams suddenly came from the pale woman's mouth, accompanied by calls for help, as if she was a weak woman being bullied by a bully, causing the crowd around to disperse quickly in shock.

At the same time, Xu Qing's cold voice reached the ears of the trembling woman as she walked closer.

"If you shout one more sound, I will tear your mouth apart."

Xu Qing's learning and imitation abilities are as good as his memory...
