The voice was ethereal and had a sense of transcendence to it.
It also contained coldness. The moment it entered Xu Qing's ears, it turned into a stream of icy water that filled his mind and spread throughout his body, causing him to shiver.
Xu Qing's body trembled, and the breath he exhaled turned into a white mist. His eyebrows and hair began to freeze, and his entire body went stiff. It was so bizarre that it seemed impossible to resist. Xu Qing even had the illusion that cracks had appeared in the air around him, surrounding him as if he had been sealed in ice.
Not to mention the 44 dharma apertures in his body.
He could clearly feel that the dharma apertures in his body had become deathly still. The same was true for the mana in his body. While the circulation was incomparably slow, the spiritual vortex was the same as well.
As for the Life Fire.
Under such a state, the Life Fire could not be ignited!
This caused Xu Qing's mind to churn intensely. The sense of security that he felt after activating the Life Fire instantly dissipated. It also made him realize that to a powerful person, suppressing the Mystic Brilliant State was a piece of cake.
However, Xu Qing was not without any means to fight back. At this moment, when his entire body was frozen, he could feel the remaining warmth of his Life Fire.
This warmth did not completely cool down due to the external cold. Perhaps there was a chance to forcefully ignite the Life Fire.
This realization made Xu Qing even more vigilant. He was very clear that he could not let anyone know about his Life Fire. Hence, after confirming that his shadow was still covering the Life Fire, he took a deep breath and turned around with difficulty.
The moment he turned around, he saw that there were two women who had appeared out of nowhere. One was a middle-aged woman and the other was a young woman.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a red official robe with purple and gold embroidery of a hundred butterflies flying through flowers. It made her look extraordinarily luxurious, like the rising sun in the sky.
However, the unmeltable cold aura around her was as obvious as the coldness in her expression. Especially her eyes, which were deep and round like an ancient well, one could not see the bottom of it.
It was as if wherever she looked, everything would become ice cold. If one stared at her for too long, it would affect one's soul as well.
At this moment, she was condensing Xu Qing.
The robe she was wearing was not from any of the peaks and Xu Qing had never seen her in the Seven Blood Sleep. However, Xu Ji recognized the young woman beside her.
The young girl wore a loose light purple Daoist robe that resembled a long skirt. There was an ancient sword on her back, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. She looked valiant and formidable-looking, but at the same time, her exposed skin was white and rosy.
She looked heroic but did not lack in gentleness..... Especially when she was smiling, her eyes were bright and at the same time, it was cute...
It was Ding Xue.
She looked at Xu Qing and blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Senior Brother Xu, this is my aunt. She's the Vice Summit Lord of the Seventh Summit. She assists my uncle in managing the Seventh Summit," Ding Xue said softly. There was a hint of warning in her words. "Disciple Xu Qing greets Vice Summit Lord.
Being stared at by Ding Xue's aunt, Xu Qing clearly felt the coldness in his body grow stronger. Fortunately, he had an extraordinary foundation. Even though he was strongly affected by the middle-aged woman's gaze, he could still remain normal. Hence, he cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Ding Xue's aunt.
This scene caused a hint of surprise to appear in the middle-aged woman's cold eyes. She sized up Xu Qing and spoke faintly.
"There's no need to be so formal.
…
Once she finished speaking, she noticed that her niece's eyes were shining brightly as she stared at Xu Qi. As someone who had been through this before, she naturally knew what this gaze meant. Hence, she sighed in her heart, and the coldness in her body dissipated a little. Her tone also became slightly gentler.
"I summoned you here today to give you a mission from the sect. You are to be Ding Xue's temporary Dao protector."
"Aunt, we're helping each other out as friends!" Ding Xue quickly spoke first. She took her aunt's hand and shook it with a slightly naive look on her face.
Xu Ji's expression was the same as ever, and his posture didn't change, but his heart was in turmoil. On one hand, he hadn't expected Ding Xue to have such a powerful background. On the other hand, this Vice Peak Leader's Cultivation base gave him a similar feeling as when he first met the other Peak Leaders.
At the same time, this encounter also gave Xu Qing a clearer understanding of how terrifying a Peak Leader could be.
At that moment, as Ding Xue acted coquettishly, the middle-aged woman's cold expression melted, and a hint of doting appeared in her eyes. She patted Ding Xue's head and spoke to Xu Qing.
"Xu Qi, you and Ding Xue are friends. Today, I'm not talking to you as a Vice Peak Leader, but as an elder.
"This is the frontline, and it's not very safe. Ding Xue must come, and I have other matters to attend to. I'm worried about her safety, so I need you to protect her for a month. What do you think?"
"Once you're done, I'll give you the right to withdraw from the battle at any time, and I'll also give you three Unordered Teleportation Talismans.
When he heard the words Unordered Teleportation Talismans, Xu Qing's heart raced.
He knew about the Unordered Teleportation Talisman. It was a type of jade treasure that was worth more than many Dharma artifacts. Any one of them was worth more than 700,000 to 800,000 Spirit Stones.
Most importantly, this item was extremely rare, and people would usually fight to buy it as soon as it appeared. That day, when Xu Qing was in the Ming Qi Pavilion in the Peng Ming District of the Sixth Peak, he had also obtained one before he left, but it was not for sale. The function of this item was equivalent to a second life. It could be used in most areas, and one could be teleported away by crushing it. However, the teleportation location was irregular. It could appear nearby or thousands of miles away.
And this matter was obviously brought up by Ding Xue. Otherwise, if they were really looking for someone to protect, there would be a lot of powerful cultivators fighting to get the three Unordered Teleportation Talismans as a reward.
Hence, Xu Qing glanced at Ding Xue.
Seeing Xu Qing's gaze on her, Ding Xue's pretty face turned red, and she returned a sweet smile to Xu Qing.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged woman shook her head, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her deep phoenix eyes. She placed a storage bag in Ding Xue's hand and spoke indifferently.
"You guys decide."
With that, she turned and left.
Seeing that her aunt had left, Ding Xue hurriedly ran to Xu Qing's side and hurriedly spoke.
"Senior Brother Xu Ji, that's my town. Usually, she doesn't live in the Seven Blood Pupils but in the Xishan Islands. When you sent me off at sea that day, I told you that she was the one I wanted you to visit with me."
"That day, Zhao Zhongheng insisted on going with me. My aunt is a very nice person. She gave him a medicinal pill. Originally, if you went with me, I would have given it to you. Zhao Zhongheng used that medicinal pill to form the Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale.
Hearing this, Xu Qing fell silent.
After a while, he looked at Ding Xue and asked, "The Peak Master of the Seventh Peak is yours." It's my uncle, "Ding Xue said with a smile.
Xu Qing fell silent again.
…
"However, my aunt and uncle have some ideological conflicts with each other. Therefore, many years ago, my aunt moved out of the Seven Blood Pupils and lived in the Xishan Islands. This time, it is also the war of the Seven Blood Pupils, so she came here.
"Senior Brother Xu Ji, can you protect me this time? I actually came here to increase my qualifications. The sect also has requirements for core disciples, and I want to report to the Seven Sect Alliance. This requires my resume to be real and easy to handle. In addition, I plan to focus on plants and vegetation in the future. So, Senior Brother Xu Ji, can I ask you to tutor me during this time?" Ding Xue did not hide anything and told Xu Ji what she needed. At the same time, she handed the storage bag over. Obviously, regardless of whether Xu Qing agreed or not, the Lawless Teleportation Talisman inside would be given to Xu Ji.
Xu Qing looked at the storage bag and then at the expectant Ding Xue.
Xu Qing appreciated Ding Xue's eagerness to learn. Moreover, whether it was the Celestial Building Jade Strip from the other party or the three Lawless Transmission Talismans, he had no reason to refuse. Moreover, Ding Xue's approach also made him feel very comfortable.
Therefore, Xu Qing nodded and took the storage bag. Inside, there were three jade talismans that exuded a soft light and were filled with abundant spiritual power. "Great, thank you, Senior Brother Xu Ji."
Ding Xue felt very excited. She stood up and naturally wanted to take Xu Qing's arm, but Xu Qing avoided her.
Ding Xue did not show any abnormalities and still smiled sweetly. She then took Xu Qing to a teleportation point and left the core command center.
For the rest of the time, except for returning to her aunt at night, she usually followed Xu Qing and completed her frontline residence on the Mermaid Clan's bird island.
However, Ding Xue was very smart. Although she had fought for Xu Ji this time and had some selfish motives, she did not show it too obviously. Instead, she dragged Xu Ji to take on some special tasks.
From Ding Xue, Xu Qing also learned that the core disciples' tasks were different from theirs.
The core disciples' tasks had more rewards and were significantly less dangerous. Most of them could be completed on the island.
However, correspondingly, as a core disciple, they had a great deal of involvement with the sect.
It could be said that if the Seven Blood Pupils one day faced an unresolvable catastrophe, disciples like Xu Qing could easily leave without being hunted down.
However, core disciples would definitely be eliminated.
Therefore, there were advantages and disadvantages to becoming a core disciple.
Xu Ji did not have any envy. He felt that the current situation was quite good. For the rest of the time, he took Ding Xue to complete various small tasks that the other party took on every day.
For example, sending important materials from one island to another, doing some aftermath work, counting some casualties, and so on.
Basically, there was no difficulty, and there was no danger to his life.
In his spare time,
Ding Xue would also consult him about plants and trees.
Every time, he would give out spirit stones that respected knowledge.
Although Xu Qing felt that the one or two hundred spirit stones each time was not as precious as before, he still had the idea of suspicious sand tower in his heart.
Until seven or eight days later, the difficulty of the tasks that Ding Xue took on slowly increased.
For example, looking for some rebels of the mermaid clan, as well as the hiding place of the sea corpse clan here.
The degree of danger of this type of task was already relatively high, but after all, this was the frontline command, so the height was limited.
Moreover, the sect's support was relatively fast, which was very suitable for core disciples to gain experience.
Ding Xue seemed to attach great importance to her resume. These dangerous tasks were often at the forefront, as if she was not afraid of being injured at all.
The more dangerous it was, the faster she rushed over.
However, under Xu Qing's careful protection, Ding Xue was scared but not in danger every time, and the crisis was resolved.
This made Ding Xue a little anxious.
This was not in line with her plan.
Especially when a month was almost up, she gritted her teeth fiercely. One morning, when she met Xu Qing again, she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Her face was pale, and her body swayed as if she would fall at any time.
Xu Qing was startled. He looked at Ding Xue a few times and was slightly moved.
He found that Ding Xue's cultivation was in chaos, and her Qi was in a mass, blocking many meridians. It was difficult to recover in a short time. Obviously, she was seriously injured.
"Senior Brother Xu, it's all my fault. I was too impatient."
"I felt that I was too weak and wanted to break through to the Grand Garden Man as soon as possible, so something went wrong with my cultivation last night, causing my body to be seriously injured."
Ding Xue's small face was pale. She struggled to support her body and said bitterly.
"And my aunt also went to the battlefield. She is not here. I couldn't find her." You should rest for a few days. When your injuries are healed, you can complete the task. "Xu Qing heard this and comforted her." No! "
Ding Xue was anxious and hurriedly refused. In her heart, she thought that if she really went back to rest, wouldn't she be injured for nothing this time?
