Chapter 676 A Little Accident
This was Zhao Qing and Gu Qinghuan's first night serving the Master of the Blood-Clothed Tower.
Both of them received their respective novice tasks.
Gu Qinghuan's mission was to go to Haiyue Island to help the young lady deliver the talisman to a senior named Li Tang from the Night Soul Kingdom.
Then he returned to his home in Tianmen Island and tidied up his study, bedroom and courtyard.
...It doesn't seem difficult.
And Zhao Qing’s mission.
He followed Miss Ying to the mine she was in charge of on Lieying Island, and stayed there for two days to patrol and investigate.
Therefore, the two sides parted ways.
Gu Qinghuan walked down Tianmen Island and took a boat to Haiyue Island.
Zhao Qing also boarded his young lady's nimble flying boat. The two took off from Tianmen Island and flew to Lieying Island, two hundred miles away...
The icy cold wind blew in their faces, ruffling their robes.
Zhao Qing stood respectfully beside Qingying, secretly sizing up her boat... It was dark silver in color, and it looked pretty good.
It is roughly worth more than 100,000 spirit stones.
——This seems very exaggerated.
Zhao Qing felt strange. Qingying was so poor before, but now he has a small spiritual boat and a Wind-Fixing Demon Pill in his own home...
If you say there is no cheating, he doesn't believe it at all.
However, Zhao Qing was not quite sure what was so special about his young lady. Could it be that she earned it by selling talismans?
But the five talismans she asked Qinghuan to give her were only worth a few hundred spirit stones.
"Fierce Eagle Island is extremely dangerous."
"The spiritual energy over there is turbulent and chaotic, and it's not suitable for cultivators to settle down. My cultivation level can still withstand it, but you have to be very careful when you circulate your meridians."
The woman looked out at the vast ocean with her beautiful eyes, her words were a little cold, yet contained a hint of care.
Zhao Qing: ...
Uh.
Yes Yes Yes.
He nodded seriously: "Miss, there is no need to worry about me. If there is any danger, you should protect yourself."
Why is Fierce Eagle Island not suitable for monks to settle down?
There used to be a Jindan Island Master on Lieying Island... but he's dead.
"I want to rest."
Qingying just nodded slightly when she heard that, then whispered something, turned around gracefully and walked into the small pavilion with great pride.
Zhao Qing was speechless.
Standing alone on the silver boat, I looked at the vast ocean tousled by the wind.
The young lady went into the room to rest, so he must stay outside... Could he go in and join her?
From beginning to end, Qingying never mentioned anything about the safety of his attendants.
Needless to say, if Zhao Qing couldn't even do this, it would be a huge joke.
only……
In this cold and gloomy night overseas, it seems that a small accident really happened.
Under Tianmen Island.
There are still scattered Qigong practitioners wandering along the wasteland. I don’t know whether they are miners under some senior or independent cultivators who have not been recruited.
When the beautiful woman came alone from the island... she naturally attracted a lot of attention.
She is very weak.
However, some people were filled with suspicion and whispered to those around them in panic, "Is it her!?"
"A month ago, there was a big commotion at Tianmen, and she was the one who came here with a few others!"
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"If it was those people, why didn't they take action to tame the Chaos Sea?"
"..."
Gu Qinghuan's consciousness was concentrated, so he could hear the whispers not far away clearly.
Chu Xin's whisper came from his mind: "Will they affect our operations? Get rid of them?"
Qing Huan hesitated for a moment: "It shouldn't be a problem..."
"Don't worry about it for now. Let me ask the master."
Even though they had only stayed there for a very short time and the Dust Sea had been completely changed, it was clear that some people still had some impression of them.
...especially on Tianmen Island.
I think the situation would be much better if we moved to another island.
Qing Huan didn't really want to do anything to these small casual cultivators, so he just left them alone and quietly went about his own business.
She went to the end of the wasteland alone and boarded a boat.
If you can't ride the wind, you'll naturally have to take a boat to travel between the islands in this Dust Sea.
The sea boat is very small, only about ten feet in size, and seems to be an ordinary spiritual weapon forged with some crude means, but it is also large enough for Qi-cultivating monks to use when crossing the sea.
"Girl, where are you going?"
The boat owner was a bearded man. Seeing a fair-skinned woman getting on board, he spoke with a gruff smile and asked.
"Skull Moon Island, West Beach."
Qing Huan whispered calmly, not seeming too nervous. After all, the ship owner was only at the sixth level of Qi training, not much stronger than her.
"Eight demon hearts, or two spirit stones. Spirit stones are used in the sea now. If you use demon hearts, it will be more expensive."
The man lay lazily on the bow, his strong body seemed to rise and fall with the boat, swaying and floating... looking very comfortable.
But this price is obviously surprisingly expensive.
Qing Huan looked helpless. After staring at the man for a moment, she whispered doubtfully, "To go out to sea and cross the island, don't we have to wait for other Taoist friends to come with us?"
Although Gu Qinghuan had never been on this ship, she knew very well that the price given to her by the other party was the charter price.
...If we can share a boat, then of course we should. After all, wealth should not be exposed.
only.
The bearded man seemed extremely impatient: "Going to the West Beach of Crane Moon Island...who would go there in the middle of the night?"
"Just the two of us! Are you leaving or not?"
Gu Qinghuan: ...
In this situation, she had no good solution.
Then let’s go.
He nodded helplessly and took out two spirit stones from his sleeve and threw them over.
"Humph--"
The man snorted coldly, his copper-bell-like eyes staring straight at the woman's cuffs, revealing his greed unscrupulously.
After laughing a little, he clenched the spirit stone in his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed deeply, praising: "It smells good, girl... Let's go!"
"It will take about half a minute to get there. My spirit boat runs fast."
As the thin spiritual power was injected into the boat, Qinghuan's hanging black hair was also lifted by the rushing cold wind.
Spirit Boat...
In the world of Yujing, the spiritual boat naturally refers to the treasure boat that can ride the wind in the sky.
And in this desolate and wild place.
A spirit boat is a small spirit ship on the sea, and the one that flies in the sky is called a flying boat...their values are obviously very different.
"Why weren't you caught mining?"
"With this little cultivation level, you still dare to go out... You are really brave."
"Hey, when did you come to Shahai? How old are you these days?"
Listening to the man's endless chatter, Qinghuan would occasionally whisper a few words in response, saying that she was the maid of a senior from the Night Soul Kingdom.
Forty is also outspoken.
The man's eyes lit up as he laughed heartily, "Mature woman, you look so young."
Gu Qinghuan: ...
In response, she just remained calm and ignored it.
Occasionally, she would ask from the men's gossip about the latest situation on the island and the sea, so as to understand how she and her master should respond.
As for the bearded man who was always playing with the two spirit stones and sniffing them at the tip of his nose, although she felt awkward and disgusted, she was too lazy to cause trouble.
I don't know how many spirit stones I have given out, but I can't imagine how much I have smelled in private...
Until the man glanced at her between her sleeves with his big eyes and said, "Girl, can you exchange some money for your spirit stone with the demon heart?"
Gu Qinghuan knew that he was greedy and could not help but sigh inwardly.
The surroundings are now desolate and deep, and it is difficult to tell the direction. You can no longer see anything with your eyes... There is only the cold and shrill wind, which rolls up the raging waves and pushes the boat.
She hesitated for a moment, then smiled a rare smile and shook her head: "I don't have many spirit stones, and my demon heart is not very clean, so I can't keep it."
As soon as the woman smiled, his beard brightened up, and he whispered coldly, "Hmm?"
"Do you think I'm blackmailing you?"
"Three demon hearts for one spirit stone. I won't say a word or harm you, otherwise—"
Otherwise what?
Qinghuan raised her phoenix eyes slightly and stared calmly at the man's threatening gaze. How could she not know that he had set his eyes on her spirit stone?
It was nothing more than revealing his spirit stone and being shot dead on the spot by the other party... There were no other cultivators nearby at all.
Think about this.
Qinghuan actually felt a little helpless and worried.
My looks...are really not as good as Lingshi?
She naturally hated this man, but now that the world was in ruins, this bearded man actually set his eyes on her spirit stone...
Gu Qinghuan understood the rule of the survival of the fittest very clearly.
Even if this man wanted to sleep with her, he already had a plan in mind.
Can……
The current situation made her doubt her own appearance, and she suddenly began to worry whether she could still make her master love her.
She looked calm, staring at the bearded man in confusion and whispered, "What else?"
Seeing her calmness, the man sneered, "Don't think you'll be alright just by following me as a servant. I'll kill you and take your wealth. There's no one in this desolate sea..."
Gu Qinghuan:?
Suddenly, her eyes turned cold, her blood surged, and her blood-killing ability flashed by.
The bearded man had no time to react at all, his eyes widened in horror, and he had already died of a heart attack!
The corpse fell straight onto the sea boat. The boat, without control, was tossed and turned in the raging waves. Two spirit stones fell from the big hand...
It floated on the Jiamu wood filled with sea water and slowly drifted to the woman's feet.
The noisy sounds in my ears were gone, leaving only the howling of the cold wind, like the weeping of the deep sea.
Gu Qinghuan looked calm as he slowly waded through the water on the boat...
He kicked the corpse into the ocean with one kick, and the two fallen spirit stones were also kicked directly into the sea.
Puff-!
dong dong...
It’s much quieter now.
Although I am following my master to serve Qingqing, I think killing someone silently should not be a problem.
Qing Huan looked up at the night sea around him, then used his spiritual power to change the direction of the spiritual boat and continued to sail towards the Skeleton Moon Island...
Half an hour later.
Haiyue Island, Xitan Luanfang.
The fishy wind stirred up the raging waves, and dark clouds obscured the moonlight.
This strange island seemed to be able to cut off the moonlight, emitting a hazy fluorescent glow everywhere.
Gu Qinghuan abandoned the small spirit boat and continued to search on foot.
Fortunately, this place is different from Tianmen Island, where busy miners can be seen everywhere.
After a little inquiry, she found the residence of Senior Li Tang... and then knocked on the door to pay a respectful visit.
Li Tang is from the Night Soul Country. He is a fair-skinned man who is at the third level of foundation building and is very powerful.
Seeing Gu Qinghuan, he did not act arrogant, but asked calmly, "You are not my miner, why are you here?"
Qing Huan bowed gracefully, took out the talisman, and answered seriously, "I am Senior Qing Ying's follower."
"I came here to deliver the talismans to Senior Li. These are the five—"
The man glanced at the talisman and understood what it meant. He took it and chuckled, saying, "Daoist Xiaoying's servant."
"I accept the talisman."
He examined the five precious talismans briefly and couldn't help but stare at the woman curiously. He didn't understand why Miss Xiaoying sent a servant to deliver such a precious thing...
