Chapter 955 You… You’re Poisoned! (4)
Xu Qing’s heart stirred as he looked at the curse-resolving pill he had made. This was the result of his painstaking research over the past six months.
While there were still some differences due to the approach he had taken, the results were not far from the authentic curse-resolving pill.
“The direction of the curse-resolving pill is to alleviate the pain of the curse. My direction… is to completely neutralize the curse, and alleviating the pain is only a side effect.”
“Even if I can’t do it now, this method shouldn’t be wrong.”
“In addition, my Purple Moon power also needs to be improved… I also have to gather more information about the curse. Only then can it be gradually perfected.”
Xu Qing had an expectant expression. With a wave of his hand, he was about to refine more curse-resolving pills. However, at the next instant, he suddenly raised his head and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he looked outside.
With a sway of his body, he disappeared from the back room. When he reappeared, he was already beside the counter of the apothecary.
Ling’er was happily recording the accounts. When she sensed Xu Qing’s appearance, her body immediately turned white and entered Xu Qing’s sleeve.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor also showed a sharp expression. When he locked onto a direction, Xu Qing’s expression softened slightly, and he looked out the window.
A colorful light appeared out of thin air. After that, it entered the apothecary in a flash and appeared beside the foot-long Xiaomiao.
Xiaomiao shook and didn’t dare to move at all. The five-colored light transformed into a parrot and a proud voice rang out from its mouth.
“Once the parrot was born, what’s so special about father? Quickly call for father, I am here”
After saying that, the parrot looked at Xu Qing arrogantly.
“Hey, you there, um, what’s your name? Chen-something-Niu wants me to tell you to go light something up.”
“Light something up?” Xu Qing furrowed his brows, not quite understanding what the parrot meant.
“How the hell would I know what to light? So-and-so asked me to tell you to light a fire, so get to it!”
The parrot spoke proudly. After that, it turned its head and took a bite of Xiaomiao, eating it noisily.
Xiaomiao shook and didn’t dare to dodge.
Ling’er hurriedly crawled out of Xu Qing’s sleeve and glared at the parrot.
The parrot cast a sidelong glance at Ling’er, then at Xu Qing. It raised its head, adopted a classic pose, pointed its beak toward them, and continued to look proud.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor instantly moved over. However, the instant he got close, the parrot suddenly disappeared and teleported to the other side of Xiaomiao, taking another bite.
“I won’t!”
This speed shocked even the Diamond Sect’s ancestor. Just as he was about to continue chasing, the parrot continued to blink and teleport around Xiaomiao, taking bite after bite.
“I won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t!”
Just as the parrot was feeling smug, its body suddenly trembled. Its small eyes widened and it coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“I… gah…”
“You’re poisonous!!”
It glared angrily at Xiaomiao, causing it to tremble. The parrot coughed up blood again and its body began to rot. It also sensed that it wasn’t that Xiaomiao was poisonous but that there was poison in its surroundings. Hence, just as it was about to speak, it fell head first. After it landed on the ground, it looked at Xu Qing in horror.
At the same time, Xiaomiao quickly pulled out its roots and jumped down, crazily stepping on the parrot to take revenge.
The parrot wailed and wanted to escape, but it couldn’t do so. It could only continue to roll on the ground until the Diamond Sect’s ancestor appeared. The parrot didn’t dare to move anymore, its eyes filled with incomparable fear.
Xiaomiao didn’t dare to continue. It slowly crawled back and planted itself back.
Xu Qing was expressionless. He sat at the side and looked at the parrot struggling on the ground.
“Now, can you talk properly?”
The parrot nodded rapidly. It finally understood why its father was afraid of this person in front of him. This person was unreasonable and even poisoned his own people.
“Martial Uncle Xu, can you detoxify the poison for me first…” After saying that, the parrot coughed up blood again. It was on the verge of death and its body was about to rot.
Xu Qing waved his hand. Most of the poison in the parrot’s body dissipated and it instantly perked up. However, after Xu Qing’s gaze swept over, its body trembled and it hurriedly became obedient.
“Martial Uncle Xu, I was wrong. Martial Uncle Erniu really asked me to tell you to light the fire. I don’t know what it is either. It seems to be related to the sun.”
Xu Qing fell into deep thought and looked at the parrot. The other party’s speed earlier surprised him a little, so he asked.
“What abilities do you have?”
“I can teleport. I’m the fastest among my father’s descendants, and my teleportation ability is not affected by any adverse conditions or sealed places. In the past, when my father was in danger, I always teleported him away. In short, I… I mean, I can teleport.”
After the parrot finished speaking, it carefully looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded and was about to speak when he sensed something and walked to the window.
In the distant world, a storm connected to the sky. The sandy wind was like a sea of fog, constantly churning and spreading. Bolts of lightning flashed inside and rumbled back in all directions.
It was as though there was a god inside, driving the sandstorm forward. Wherever it passed, the sky would change color and the wind and clouds would stir.
It was a sandstorm.
Its color was rapidly changing from green to white.
The howling sound at this moment reverberated intensely, as if the heavens wept, and the earth mourned, as if they were to bury all living beings, with all creation as their funeral offerings.
A terrifying pressure descended on the entire desert as the white sandstorm appeared.
It swept through the ground, covered the sky, and affected the Bitter Life Mountain Range, causing everything in the outside world to be hazy white at this moment, emitting a dense ominous feeling.
Xu Qing’s gaze was solemn. He lowered his head and looked at his feet. The shadow was hunting outside and hadn’t returned…
