Time flowed by and half a month passed.
As the divine son's nests erupted everywhere, the situation in the Moon Worship Region became increasingly bad.
The news of the fourth hall master's team being defeated rapidly spread. In an instant, the morale of the rebel army formed by the deputy hall masters of the Moon Rebel Hall became low.
They seemed to have lost all hope. The burning of a spark seemed to only be the afterglow of one's own life.
Only the desert became more and more prominent in this situation. Because of the heir's existence, not only did the cultivators of the Bitter Life Mountain Range think that earth city was a holy land, but the resistance forces from all sides outside also treated the desert as a holy land.
Hence, almost every day, there would be people advancing toward the desert from everywhere. They wanted to enter this place, join in, and seek true resistance.
However, the blockade by the Red Moon Shrine became even stronger. Yet, during this period, some unexpected events occurred, and mysterious powerful beings descended, causing the blockade to collapse.
Ancestor Mogui was appointed by the heir to lead a large number of desert cultivators to the edge of the desert to receive the arriving individuals.
Although the wind in the desert prevented outsiders from entering, this wind was after all traded by the captain. With the heir's cultivation and identity, he was qualified to form an alliance with that High God Flame Moon.
Hence, after he transmitted his divine sense in the wind, the wind here granted him authority. It no longer blocked all the entrants, and only targeted Red Moon cultivators.
As a result, with the resistance forces in the Moon Worship Region joining, the forces of the desert expanded almost every day.
All the cultivators who had joined the desert faction were excited after they arrived. However, they knew that they didn't have the qualifications to meet the heir, so they didn't disturb him at the apothecary. They only bowed in the direction of the Bitter Life Mountain Range.
As for the apothecary, there weren't many changes. Ning Yan, Wu Jianwu, and the others continued with their regular duties. It was the same for Ling'er, Li Youfei, and Nether Fairy.
Only Xu Qing spent more time in the small world fragment.
In the past half a month, he had spent almost all his time in the small world fragment. He was very clear that time was very tight. Regardless of the current situation outside or the gradual approach of the Red Moon, they were all telling him something.
The calamity was about to arrive.
Hence, Xu Qing didn't waste any time in this half a month. He was immersed in the refinement and incubation of the divine sons.
What the captain needed was actually the blood of these divine sons that contained chaos and madness.
In this small world, the glaciers had long melted and the ground was covered in black soil. One could see countless broken eggshells and endless divine sons.
A purple moon rose in the air, emitting the power of the Red Moon's authority. It enveloped this world and provided conditions for the divine son to hatch and control it.
All the divine sons were prostrating on the ground. Their bodies bore numerous wounds, causing fresh blood to flow, merging into the massive fingerprint that existed in this place.
It formed a lake.
The process went relatively smoothly. Although occasional divine sons lost control due to their large numbers, Xu Qing promptly suppressed them each time. As for the wounds on their bodies, under the influence of the authority, they opened up on their own.
Due to the continuous bleeding, these divine sons continued to weaken until they eventually withered and died.
Every time this happened, Xu Qing would throw the corpses of the dead divine sons to the other divine sons to feed and exchange for more blood.
During this period, Xu Qing also went to the Moon Rebel Hall several times to fuse the blood of the divine sons into the gate of the highest hall.
This blood was indeed useful. As it fused into the totem, the Crimson Goddess' totem clearly trembled. The fire of hope from the various temples in the Moon Rebel Hall burned even more intensely.
The absorption of the Crimson Goddess' totem also gradually turned into devouring fire. Its body began to burn.
Under the burning, the totem started to turn blurry. The captain's madness also became intense as he rapidly gnawed.
"Little Qing, there's not enough oil. Bring more."
"Let this fire grow bigger!"
"Hope is right in front of us. As long as we burn the Crimson Goddess' seal, this door will be pushed open. At that time… we will be the masters of the Moon Rebel Hall!"
"The moment we become the Lord of the Moon Rebel, it will be the day of the Red Moon Shrine's calamity!"
The captain was excited. As he chewed, he transmitted his divine sense.
"According to the speed of the Red Moon Star, it will take at most nine to ten months for the Crimson Goddess to arrive."
Xu Qing spoke softly.
"That's why I'm anxious." The captain bit down fiercely.
"Little Qing, all my preparations are almost complete. I'm only two steps away now!"
"The first step is this Moon Rebel Hall. Once we finish this step, I can use the Moon Rebel Hall to instantly sense all the flesh that was torn into pieces in my previous life."
"I can already sense a small portion of it now."
"At that time, coupled with our previous arrangements, we will have the strength to destroy the Red Moon Shrine."
"Once the temple is destroyed, we can enter the Repentance Plain. The body of the ruler is there!"
"This body is the last step in killing the Crimson Goddess. It's also an extremely important step!"
Xu Qing nodded.
"I'll squeeze more oil outside. It might take some time but it should be enough."
The captain was excited.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. Little Qing, our trip to the Moon Worship Region is coming to an end. I've planned for so many years to devour the god. I'm finally going to do it!"
"Think about it. That's the Crimson Goddess we're talking about. If we devour her, this matter will definitely spread throughout Fenghai County, the large regions of the human race, and the whole Wanggu Continent."
"At that time, the Black Heaven Race will be trash!"
"Even the Human Emperor might have to be polite when facing us. When the old man sees the two of us, his jaw will probably drop in shock."
"This is a major event. A major event that will make our names renowned throughout Wanggu, and it is something that has never happened since the appearance of the gods!"
"After we're done, the status of the future Fenghai County's County Governor is no longer worthy of you. We have to have a higher goal."
It had to be said that the captain was quite capable in inspiring people.
When Xu Qing heard the captain's words, the scenes in Fenghai County appeared in his mind. He was a little dazed as he thought of Old Master Seventh, Zi Xuan, the Seven Blood Eyes, and everything in Fenghai County.
"It clearly hasn't been that long since I came to the Moon Worship Region. It's only been a few years, but I feel like countless years have passed…"
Xu Qing comprehended that the reason why he had this feeling was because he had experienced too many things in the Moon Worship Region. At the same time, it was also the result of a leap in his cultivation.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I miss Master."
Xu Qing spoke softly.
"Soon. We'll return soon!"
The captain clicked his tongue and replied proudly.
Xu Qing nodded and departed the Moon Rebel Hall.
In this half a month, his other identity in the Moon Rebel Hall became even more famous as the war broke out.
All of this was because of the curse subduing pills.
Although he lacked materials in reality and couldn't make a pill that reduced the curse by 50%, the increased experience and knowledge he gained along with the Poison Restriction Eyes could reduce the curse by 30%.
Being able to permanently reduce the curse by 30% caused a commotion in the Moon Rebel Hall even in this wartime.
To many cultivators, this medicinal pill was a life-saving item.
Casualties were inevitable in war, and injuries would cause the curse in their bodies to erupt. When fighting against Red Moon cultivators, the other party could trigger the curse as well.
Also, the proximity of the Red Moon Star made the curse more active.
Hence, at this moment, the medicinal pill that reduced the curse by 30% was a holy item. To cultivators who erupted with curses, it was almost like reviving from the dead!
His followers were even more excited.
Moreover, Xu Qing no longer asked for anything in exchange for the medicinal pills. It was essentially a gratuitous contribution. As such, Pill Nine's name reached the peak of fame in the Moon Rebel Hall. contemporary romance
His name had long spread out of the Moon Rebel Hall and was famous in the Rebellion Army in the Moon Worship Region. In fact, even those cultivators who weren't from the Moon Rebel Hall knew the name Master Pill Nine.
Correspondingly, there were more and more guesses about Master Pill Nine's identity. Some uttered that he was from another region, some said that he was a hidden expert, and some said that he might be a senior from the same era as the heir.
All kinds of theories emerged endlessly. Even the few deputy hall masters of the Moon Rebel Hall had left messages for Xu Qing in the Moon Rebel Hall, expressing their politeness and inviting him to join their side, offering all possible conveniences.
In fact, as long as Pill Nine agreed, no matter where he was, as long as it wasn't the Red Moon Shrine, experts would immediately go over and escort him.
Among them, the fourth hall master, who had witnessed Xu Qing and Master Shengluo displaying their medicinal pills back then, was the most persistent. Every few days, he would leave a message in Xu Qing's temple with an extremely sincere attitude.
However, Xu Qing didn't respond.
It was only when the name of the holy land in the Bitter Life Mountain Range spread that there was an additional guess about Pill Nine. Someone analyzed that he should be in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. Only such a pure land without war could make one feel at ease refining pills.
However, guesses were just guesses.
No one knew the truth. It was also because of this mystery that the name of Pill Nine caused a commotion in all directions.
At the same time, his followers also spontaneously organized themselves together. Led by the burly neighbor, they protected the reputation of the Master while also collecting all the information about the Master. They wanted to find the location of the Master and unite by his side to protect him.
Just like that, another seven days passed.
On this day, just as Xu Qing walked out of the miniscule world, he received a voice transmission from the heir.
"Xu Qing, a deputy hall master of the Moon Rebel Hall, along with his group of cultivators, is about to arrive outside the desert. The Red Moon cultivators are in their pursuit. Take mine and Third Sister's jade tokens, and go receive them."
"By the way, take some of those chicks from the backyard for a stroll. They eat every day, and each one is getting too fat."
As he spoke, three jade tokens appeared out of thin air in front of Xu Qing. Two of them emitted fluctuations of Soul Accumulation, and the other was an item that controlled those little chicks.
Xu Qing acknowledged when he heard that. He put away the jade tokens and arrived at the backyard of the apothecary. He then composedly glanced at those little chicks.
There were many experts here. Even the weakest among them was at the Nascent Soul realm. There were also a few in the Spirit Repository and four in the Nihility realm.
A portion of them were from the Yin Yang Flower Sect that had come here back then. There were also some that Grandma Five had captured from somewhere. Xu Qing didn't know their origins either.
"Which of you is willing to redeem yourselves?"
Xu Qing composedly spoke.
