He was indeed getting a bit tired of studying ferocious beasts.
The large scorpion in front of Xu Qing had not yet died. Its eyes revealed fear and despair. In its perception, the human in front of it was incredibly terrifying. Moreover, it was being dissected while still alive.
The fluctuations here were all hidden and couldn't be sensed by the outside world.
Otherwise, that perfected Qi Condensation Skull Union cultivator would definitely be so frightened that he would go limp and regret entering this place.
"It's ti to study the curse in these cultivators' bodies." Xu Qing mumbled inwardly. He then crushed the scorpion's head, ending its life.
At night, under the dim, dark sky, a black streak shot out from the apothecary, moving at astonishing speed. It was none other than the Diamond Sect's ancestor.
He controlled the god's fish bone and headed straight for the small faction where the person who ca during the day was from.
"Little Shadow is usually silly, but it made the right move by pleasing the lady…"
"I made a mistake on this matter. Initially, I didn't realize that the little girl, who seed innocent and carefree, actually had a heart as dark as the malignant star."
"In the books, such a lady isn't soone to be trifled with."
"Little Shadow has gained a backer and has beco arrogant recently."
The Diamond Sect's ancestor recalled the scenes about Ling'er and increasingly felt that the other party wasn't as simple as she looked. Hence, he made up his mind that he had to please her more in the future.
"However, I lost the initiative… It's fine. After we return to Fenghai County, I'll curry favor with another madam."
"This way, if the malignant star doesn't like one day, I'll have a life-saving trump card."
The Diamond Sect's ancestor had a myriad of thoughts as he moved through the air and quickly left the earth city, arriving at the location of the small faction in the vicinity.
However, before he could get close, his expression changed slightly as he sensed the sll of blood.
The Diamond Sect's ancestor exclaid inwardly. Although the other party could be killed in an instant in his eyes, he still remained cautious. He hid his tracks and slowly approached. After circling around, he saw corpses everywhere.
The cultivators of this small faction had already been slaughtered without a single survivor. All the items inside had also been looted.
"From the looks of it, the ti of death was an hour ago. Moreover, the person who attacked was at least a Golden Core cultivator. After he arrived, he quickly killed them…"
The Diamond Sect's ancestor thought about it and turned to leave. After returning to the apothecary, he imdiately reported everything he saw and his analysis to Ling'er and Xu Qing.
Ling'er was surprised and Xu Qing fell into deep thought. The possibility of this matter being a coincidence wasn't high. On the contrary, he felt that it was intentional.
The answer appeared the next day.
In the morning, before the apothecary opened, two people were waiting outside respectfully.
The mont Ling'er opened the door, the two of them bowed to her.
"Greetings, Shopkeeper. I wonder if Master is here?"
Ling'er blinked and swept her gaze across the two of them.
She had seen one of them before. It was none other than the human youth who had bought the antidote. The middle-aged man beside him wore a green robe and had a scholarly aura about him. His clothes were clearly different from the others in the city.
His cultivation was also extraordinary and belonged to the late-stage Golden Core realm. Moreover, he seed to have broken through not long ago.
The person who spoke was the middle-aged Golden Core cultivator. The youth beside him had a reserved expression as he glanced at the back room Xu Qing was in.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man bowed toward the back room again and respectfully spoke.
"Master, the people from the Skull Union provoked you yesterday. I've already erased them. These are the white pills they extorted from here."
The Golden Core middle-aged man took out a bag and handed it to Ling'er with both hands.
Ling'er's eyes lit up. She had been thinking about the white pills last night and felt that she had made a loss. However, she didn't take it imdiately. Instead, she waited for Xu Qing's response.
She knew Brother Xu Qing's personality and understood that there were so things that she couldn't make the decision for.
"Please co in."
A mont later, Xu Qing's voice rang out from the back room.
Ling'er took a few steps back and the two people at the door respectfully walked in. They stood at the side and looked at the curtain that blocked the way to the back room, not doing anything to investigate.
Understanding the situation, Xu Qing couldn't avoid showing up, so he walked out from the back room and looked at the two of them.
Regarding Xu Qing's youth, the Golden Core cultivator's eyes revealed a strange glint. However, this didn't affect his attitude. His expression turned solemn as he cupped his fists toward Xu Qing and stated his intentions.
"Greetings, Master."
"I am Chen Fanzhuo, the head of the nearby Earthly Growth Sect, and this is my sect disciple. It was from him that I learned of the Master's dical skills."
"I took the liberty to co here because all the disciples of my sect are poisoned. Even I am inflicted with this poison. Master, do you still have the antidotes?"
"I'm willing to buy them at a high price."
He was very clear that so things had to be simple and direct. Moreover, the poison was starting to act up among the sect's disciples. He had found many alchemy masters but they were helpless against this poison.
Hence, he had been extrely anxious until he accidentally discovered that there was actually a disciple who was fine.
Hence, after knowing all of this, he decided to co here.
He didn't believe that mortals could refine such an antidote. To have such attainnts in detoxification, the person was definitely not ordinary.
Hence, his attitude was still polite.
Xu Qing's expression was calm. He glanced at the middle-aged cultivator and couldn't be bothered to tell if this person was behind the Skull Union's actions in order to show goodwill.
The other party's attitude was enough.
Hence, he waved his hand and threw a bag filled with antidotes over.
The middle-aged cultivator accepted it with both hands, without checking, and directly took out a storage pouch, placing it aside, then politely left.
