285 Promotion Again (2)
When Zhang San heard this, he took a deep breath. He felt that Xu Qing was different from before. He was actually thinking about how to deal with Golden Cores… When he thought of Xu Qing’s poison, he instinctively moved back a little.
The captain also widened his eyes. He suddenly felt that Xu Qing’s words were very cool and possessed the characteristic of being able to stand out without batting an eyelid. Hence, he silently remembered it. After that, he coughed and took out a medicinal pill, swallowing it warily.
“You’ll have to slowly study this. Let me get down to business first. I am now the director of the Intelligence Department and Xu Qing is the director of the Homicide Department. These two departments didn’t get along in the past, but we are one family now.”
“I have a plan. Since these two departments are under our management, we have to build up some achievements. We have to rely on these two departments to control the entire Seventh Peak and enjoy a peak lord’s authority to the fullest before the war ends!”
“This way, even after the old man and the others return after the battle, they won’t be able to do anything to us for a while. The two of us will become cultivators with real power. This will make it easier for us to do big things in the future.”
Xu Qing frowned slightly.
“Captain, I want to enter seclusion for a while and focus on studying this poison.”
“You need money to study poison, right?” The captain looked at Xu Qing.
“I have enough for now.” Xu Qing shook his head.
“You need someone to do the test for you, right? You have to find some people to test the poison, right?” The captain didn’t give up. He spoke while eating the apple.
“I have enough for now.” Xu Qing shook his head.
The captain was a little discouraged. He suddenly felt that Xu Qing wasn’t easy to fool. It wasn’t like when he first arrived at the sect, where he could fool him however he wanted. He just had to crook his finger and Xu Qing would have to work.
All kinds of thoughts rapidly ran through his mind. Just as he was thinking about how to pull Xu Qing in his plan, Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly lit up. He thought of a key point in refining the little black bug and immediately stood up.
“Captain, Senior Brother Zhang San, I’ll take my leave first. Let’s meet again when we have time.”
Xu Qing cupped his fists and headed straight for his magic s.h.i.+p. After entering the cabin, he immediately activated the protective barrier. After that, he sat down and took out a large number of medicinal herbs. He then took out the bottle containing the little black bugs and began to mix them according to the recipe he thought of.
Outside the magic s.h.i.+p, Zhang San and the captain looked at each other.
“Captain, should we leave this place? I feel that this place is a little unsafe…” Zhang San hesitated.
“What’s there to be afraid of? I…” Just as the captain finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out from Xu Qing’s magic s.h.i.+p. A poisonous fog spread out from within. Fortunately, there was a protective barrier blocking it, so it didn’t spread out.
The captain fell silent for a few breaths before standing up and laughing.
“Zhang San, let’s go. It’s been a long time since I went to your Transportation Department. Let’s continue drinking at your place.”
Zhang San immediately stood up and the two of them quickly left this place.
Not long after they left, rumbling sounds rang out from Xu Qing’s cabin again.
Xu Qing was indeed studying the rearing of the little black bug. This was the only thing with the might of a Golden Core on him now. He originally planned to use it as a trump card but the incident with the black-clothed girl earlier had disappointed him.
A night pa.s.sed. He had been trying for the entire night, using all kinds of herbs and poisons, trying to catalyze these little black bugs to their full potential.
However, they all failed. Only the flesh of the Golden Core octopus had some effect, causing the number of little black bugs to increase by quite a bit.
“However, if it can only be reared with the flesh and blood of a Golden Core cultivator, then these venomous bugs are worthless. It can’t defeat a Golden Core cultivator but needs to feed on their flesh and blood. It’s useless to me. I want to use it as a trump card to intimidate Golden Core cultivators. However, maybe… I haven’t found the right method.”
Xu Qing mumbled and took out a thick pharmacopeia from the side. This pharmacopeia was given to Xu Qing by Grandmaster Bai before he left.
Xu Qing had always treasured it and had checked it countless times. All the pages inside were about to tear from the repeated uses. Hence, he was very careful when perusing it.
This was a gift Grandmaster Bai had left for him. It also carried Xu Qing’s grat.i.tude to Grandmaster Bai.
It could be said that Grandmaster Bai was his true first master. He played an extremely critical role in the opening of his Dao of vegetation and the subsequent development of his poison Dao.
Without Grandmaster Bai, Xu Qing would know nothing about plants and vegetation, and the Dao of Poison wouldn’t have become an important method for him.
“I wonder how Grandmaster Bai is.” Xu Qing took a deep breath. After he reached the Foundation Building realm, he had inquired about Grandmaster Bai’s whereabouts. However, the other party traveled everywhere and the time he returned to Purple Earth was very short every time.
Xu Qing retracted his thoughts and silently flipped open the medical book, searching for clues that could stir his thoughts.
“Grandmaster Bai once said that although the Dao of Insects and the Dao of Medicine seem different, their intrinsic quality is similar. They can complement each other…” Xu Qing fell silent. Finally, his gaze landed on the description of a medicinal herb in the book.
“Fourth Night Orchid?” Xu Qing revealed a look of contemplation. This was a medicinal herb that ferocious beasts liked and was useless to cultivators. If ferocious beasts who hadn’t awakened their spirituality ate it, it could increase their intelligence. It was also one of the basic medicinal herbs for the Transformation Pill.
“I can give it a try!” Xu Qing stood up and walked out of the magic s.h.i.+p, heading to Port 176’s medicinal shop. His arrival immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the shop. After the shopkeeper heard Xu Qing’s request, he immediately prepared it for him.
Not long later, Xu Qing left with a storage bag. A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
“Why is this thing so expensive!”
This storage bag not only contained the fourth night orchid but also all kinds of medicinal herbs related to beast rearing that could be bought on the market, and there were also many poisonous gra.s.ses.
Some were cheap and some were extremely expensive.
However, Xu Qing didn’t want to care about these at this moment. He felt that he had to have a method to threaten the Golden Core. Hence, after returning to the magic s.h.i.+p, he studied and tried again.
Just like that, another seven days pa.s.sed.
In these seven days, everyone in the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes was in a state of panic. After the new director of the Intelligence Department, Chen Erniu, took office, the first thing he did was announce that he wanted to capture moles.
With joint enforcement with the Patrol Department, every department was within the scope of investigation. Even Foundation Building cultivators were investigated.
For a moment, in the eyes of all the Seventh Peak’s disciples, the captain was like a rabid dog. However, his status was too high, so the others could only lower their heads and allow themselves to be investigated.
As for Xu Qing, he bought countless medicinal herbs to test in these seven days. Finally, he found seven types of medicinal herbs that clearly stimulated the growth of the little black bugs.
However, this wasn’t enough. Xu Qing could already tell that… if he wanted to truly rear these little black bugs and make them continue to grow, he still needed blood and fles.h.!.+
“However, with these medicinal herbs, I finally don’t need the flesh and blood of Golden Core beings…” A cold glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. On this dusk, he went to the underground prison of the Black Division!
Back then, when the captain asked him if he needed a poison tester, Xu Qing had said that he had enough. The poison testers for him were the prisoners of the Black Division.
Almost everyone who was imprisoned was a wanted criminal who had committed many evil deeds. Night Dove was among them. There were even many Foundation Building cultivators imprisoned in the prison. There were only a few humans among them, with most being nonhumans.
“It’s a pity that ever since the Homicide Department was established, no Golden Core cultivators have been imprisoned. If only there is a chance in the future to capture a few alive.”
A rather bold thought rose in Xu Qing’s mind and he was very tempted.
