At the end of the tributary, other than the ruins of the Shaosi Sect, there were also the ships of the Heavenly Appraiser Sect.
There were 20 of them.
There were also some cultivators of the Heavenly Appraiser Sect cultivating on the shore. They were all members of the Security Division. They had been stationed here for a period of time, waiting for the Seven Blood-pupils to take over.
With the captain's appearance, the exchange was quickly completed. The ships of the Heavenly Appraiser Sect's Security Division bowed to the Seven Blood-pupils' Security Division and handed over a flag. Then, they sailed down the river.
They would return to the Alliance at an extremely fast speed. On the day they reached the Alliance, the ship of the other sect's Security Division would sail against the current to take over the Seven Blood-pupils' disciples.
During this period of time, the Security Division of the Seven Blood-pupils' Security Division would be stationed here and the Alliance's flag would be erected on the shore.
This was the mission of Xu Qing and the captain for this trip.
This mission seemed to be long, but in reality, it was extremely helpful for cultivation. Whether it was the river on the way here or their current destination, it was an extremely good place for cultivation.
However, there were not many people who could persist in cultivating at the intersection of the main rivers at the end. For the majority of the disciples, due to the different environments, their bodies would not be able to withstand this kind of overly dense Immortal Spirit Qi for a while.
One could imagine that the disciples of the Shaosi Sect were protected by the sect's formation, which allowed the low-level disciples to cultivate here.
Even Xu Qing felt a little dizzy. However, his cultivation was not bad, so he got off the ship and stood on the shore of the main river. He took a deep breath.
The immortal spiritual energy rushed into his face through his nose and mouth, entering his body through his pores. At this moment, Xu Qing's body was incomparably clear. After barely adapting, Xu Qing sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The captain did the same. As for the other Seven Blood-pupils' disciples, they got off the ship one after another. After checking the surroundings, they began to cultivate according to their own level of adaptation.
Time passed. One month later, Xu Qing's 109 dharma apertures suddenly opened.
The opening of these dharma apertures did not rely on soul power. Instead, it completely relied on the immortal spiritual energy here and used a nourishment art to open them.
It was very difficult to open a dharma aperture in the Southern Phoenix Continent. However, it was much easier here.
Xu Qing was excited.
"I still need 11 more dharma apertures. I can open the fourth vital fire!"
Xu Qing's eyes were filled with anticipation. He knew very well that he would only truly possess the combat strength to suppress everyone in the Foundation Establishment Realm after four Life Fires.
If he didn't rely on other methods, he would have the combat power of six flames. If he used the Emperor Level Technique, his combat power could reach seven flames. With the support of the two Life Lamps, although his combat power couldn't reach eight flames, seven flames was the limit of what he could achieve.
At the same time, they had another mission during this month, which was to search for the remaining members of the Shaosi Sect.
However, the purpose of the search was not to do so. Instead, it was to inform everyone in the Royal Welcoming Prefecture that the Eight Sect Alliance would not allow any more dams to appear here.
The moment he appeared, he would become a sworn enemy!
This attitude also needed to be shown by the Security Commissioner.
Xu Qing didn't know if there was a secret deal between the Taisi Immortal Sect and the Alliance, because the Taisi Immortal Sect had remained silent about it.
The Young Master had obviously realized that it was impossible to rebuild the sect, so most of them moved away. The information and clues that the Seven Blood Trailing Fish had found all indicated that the Young Master had completely left.
This was similar to the information obtained by the other patrolling sects.
Therefore, Xu Qing continued to cultivate. During this period, if his body couldn't take it anymore, he would move away from the shore. When his body adapted better, he would sit cross-legged on the shore again.
As for the captain, he disappeared half a month ago. Before he left, he told Xu Qing that he was going to wander around. Xu Qing saw the mysterious look on his face and didn't ask much.
Just like how the captain respected his secrets, Xu Qing respected the captain's secrets too.
Just like this, time passed day by day. For other disciples, cultivating cross-legged for a long time might be a very boring thing. Therefore, there weren't many people who really insisted on cultivating here every day.
Most of them would occasionally go out and wander around. Some even went to the nearby small countries to play.
Xu Qing didn't ask much of others. He only asked himself to cherish every opportunity of cultivation. There were also people like him, and Little Mute was one of them.
During this cultivation, three months had passed. Xu Qing's 100th to 10th dharma aperture was finally opened by him. As the dharma aperture opened, Xu Qing could clearly feel that the mana in his body had increased by another 10%.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked behind him.
There were less than thirty people who were able to persevere until now and continue to cultivate like him.
Xu Qing glanced at them and was about to close his eyes again. But soon, his expression changed slightly and he raised his head to look at the main river in the distance.
It was dusk and the sunset was very beautiful. Under the glow of the sunset, Xu Qing saw a fleet of ships on the main river. There were more than ten ships in total.
The ships looked different from the ones in the Seven Blood Pupil. They seemed to be made of spirit stones made of crystals. They looked sparkling and translucent, and the whole thing was dazzling. At this moment, from the direction of the Taisi Immortal Sect, many cultivators in white robes could be seen on the ships.
Most of them were women, and each of them was wearing a veil. Their bodies emitted extraordinary energy waves.
"The Taisi Immortal Sect." Xu Qing recognized the origin of the other party.
When he looked carefully, the fleet was getting closer and closer to them. The disciples of both sides could even see each other's faces through the river.
As he looked around, Xu Qing saw the three female disciples who came to the Seven Blood Pupil that day.
Although the disciples of the Taisi Immortal Sect all wore the same clothes and veils, each of them had a different aura.
Xu Qing was observing with good intentions. He had seen the three disciples who came to the Seven Blood Pupil that day, so he could recognize them now.
In addition, he saw a familiar figure.
She was wearing a long white robe and a veil. The other party's aura was completely different from the one Xu Qing remembered. If it weren't for the strong self-esteem and stubbornness in her eyes, Xu Qing wouldn't have recognized her at first glance.
It was Li Zimei!
Zhang San once said that Li Zimei was taken away by the Taisi Immortal Sect. Before she left, she gave Xu Qing a letter. The letter didn't say much, but it was to express her gratitude to him.
At this moment, although Xu Qing recognized Li Zimei, Xu Qing in Li Zimei's eyes was a stranger under the cover of Mr. Seven's jade slip.
Therefore, both sides just glanced at each other and then looked away. Soon, the ships of the Taisi Immortal Sect left where Xu Qing and the others were and moved in the direction of Taisi Mountain. Xu Qing looked for a while and then looked away.
"Zhou Qingpeng, who came to the mountain at the same time as me, died. Xu Xiaohui lost her heart of cultivation, and Li Zimei joined the Taisi Immortal Sect." Xu Qing was a little emotional. More than four years had become a scene in his memory.
Xu Qing closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. Not long after, a ship of the Taisi Immortal Sect left the fleet and approached the shore at a high speed. Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked at that ship vigilantly.
On that ship, one of the three female disciples of the Taisi Immortal Sect, who went to the Seven Blood Pupils that day, was followed by Li Zimei and the others. They hadn't come ashore yet. After getting close to the shore, the female disciple glanced at Xu Qing and the others and said blandly.
"Seven Blood Fish?" Xu Qing nodded.
The female disciple waved her hand and threw out a purple jade slip and a blue jade slip. The two jade slips transformed into two beams of light and flew straight to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing stood up calmly, raised his right hand and caught the two jade slips. At the same time, he pretended that his body was trembling and his face had changed color. He then took over ten steps back.
He wouldn't expose himself in such a small way.
"Give the blue jade slip to the third disciple of your Seven Blood Fish suzerain."
"The purple one is for Xu Qing of the Seven Blood Pupils."
After that, the female disciple of the Taisi Immortal Sect left with Li Zimei. Li Zimei didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. Only when she was about to leave did she turn around and glance at Xu Qing in confusion.
Xu Qing was thinking. After watching the female disciple leave, he lowered his head and looked at the two jade slips in his hand. He put away the one he gave to his third disciple, and his eyes fell on the purple jade slip.
"Give it to me?" Xu Qing thought. He spread out his perception and merged it with the jade slip. The contents of the jade slip appeared in his mind.
"Brother Xu Qing, I'm Li Zimei. Do you remember the last thing you said to me?"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. This jade slip wasn't an ordinary thing. There was a lock in it. He had to answer a specific question to see more information. If he opened it by force, it would break.
"Good luck. I hope to see the day when you can exchange for a magical boat." Xu Qing imprinted this sentence on the jade slip.
The next moment, the contents of the jade slip changed.
"Brother Xu Qing, I'm doing well in the Taisi Immortal Sect. This time, I'm sending you this letter because the cultivation method I learned in the Taisi Immortal Sect is different from the cultivation method I learned in the Taisi Immortal Sect.
The Taisi Immortal Sect believes that cultivation level is cultivation level. They don't pay much attention to cultivation level, but they pay more attention to cultivation level.
"This cultivation level isn't about condensing Qi, building Foundation, or building Dan, but about conception!
“
"The Taisi Immortal Sect believes that conception is the great Dao. However, conception needs to be comprehended and is extremely difficult.
"Brother Xu Qing, I know this, but I only know a little. I hope it can help you. You can try to comprehend it more often. I think the Taisi Immortal Sect's words may not be correct, but they should be useful.
"Also, I won't let you down, brother Xu Qing. I'm going to participate in a ceremony held by the Taisi Immortal School. They told me that this ceremony is very difficult, and that if I fail, I will die. If I succeed, my personality might change a little."
"It's okay. I don't like my personality. Sometimes, I'm too weak, and sometimes I'm too proud. It's good to change.
"I don't know if I can succeed or not, and I don't know what I'll become. When you receive this letter, I might be dead, or I might succeed.
But no matter what, this is my choice. I'll keep going and work harder. I'm sure I can succeed. I just hope that my personality won't change too much.
"My words are abrupt, because this may be the last letter before my personality changes, and I don't have any relatives.
All these years, only you and Brother Zhang San have helped me. I know that Brother Zhang San has been taking care of me because of you. If I've disturbed you, Brother Xu Qing, please don't mind.
"Brother Xu Qing, I sincerely wish you the best. I hope you can be better, and always be good, Li Zimei."
