Outside Of Time

contemporary romance



"What the heck, didn't I just take a leisurely flight and got a bit slow, and took a dump in the quicksand pit? How did the wind turn white!"

As the parrot fled in horror and teleported many times in an attempt to escape the sandstorm that was gradually turning white, Xu Qing's figure was revealed in the back room in the earth city of the Bitter Life Mountain Range.

He sat down cross-legged with anticipation in his eyes. He then took out the curse-resolving pill he had traded and observed it attentively.

This pill was colorful and looked very strange, but the curse aura it emitted was very obvious.

Xu Qing didn't act rashly. This curse-resolving pill was too precious and he had no spare means to obtain a second one. He could only thoroughly research the single pill he had.

He first took a look and carefully observed the outer layer of the pill. After that, he placed it in front of him and smelled it again and again. A look of contemplation appeared in his eyes as he quickly analyzed.

"It doesn't feel like it was formed with medicinal herbs."

"But it certainly contains curses, and not just one, but many strands… with the focus being on the material within it."

"It's a substance that can absorb the power of the curse."

Xu Qing continued to analyze.

"The quantity of each curse strand varies, and it should be based on the power of curses from different races, which then transforms into a prescription."

"It's interesting how all these curses are clearly from the same source, but they manifest differently."

"But, in the end, it's still a curse. Although ingesting it can alleviate pain, the curse isn't actually reduced; it multiplies instead."

"Especially as the curse quantity increases, it triggers a lot of chain reactions, such as the consumption of vitality and the decline of cultivation… This is the side effect of the curse-resolving pill."

"Drinking poison to quench thirst…"

Xu Qing sighed with emotion. After that, he lifted his left hand and the Purple Moon power in his body gathered, forming purple threads.

There were about a few hundred of them. After they fluttered in front of him, with a thought from Xu Qing, these purple threads headed straight for the curse-resolving pill.

They quickly pierced into the pill and fused into it. Every thread came into contact with the different curses in the curse-resolving pill and began to imitate them.

This was something impossible for others. However, Xu Qing's Purple Moon came from the same source as the Red Moon, the transformations that the Red Moon could induce, he could also achieve.

However, he previously lacked reference points and sufficient experiments, but now all the answers were contained within the curse-resolving pill. For Xu Qing, this was an unlocked door.

Time slowly passed and Xu Qing's expression became increasingly solemn. The purple threads he emitted were adjusted one by one in this continuous simulation, changing according to different curses.

Throughout the entire process, he was extremely cautious. He controlled the fluctuations of hundreds of threads and did his best not to trigger the curse in the pill.

Six hours later, even under such focused control, there were still some mistakes.

In an instant, this extremely precious curse-resolving pill shook. At the next moment, all the curses churned and collapsed, turning into black ashes that fell to the ground through Xu Qing's fingers.I think you should take a look at

Xu Qing didn't have any regrets. A strange glint appeared in his eyes. In these six hours, he had completed simulating all the curse power of more than 300 different races contained in this curse-resolving pill.

He looked at the black ashes on the ground, and let out a soft exclamation. He pinched a handful and held it in front of him, finding it more and more familiar.

"This is…"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed as he took out a pouch and poured out the black ashes inside. After comparing them, he discovered that both were exactly the same.

Xu Qing's black ashes were obtained from the ferocious beasts. It was what their bodies transformed into after the curses had fully erupted. Back then, he hadn't felt it had any use, but he had stored it away.

From the looks of it, this was the material used to absorb the curse.

"In other words, every curse-resolving pill uses the bones of a cursed lifeform as the basic ingredient."

Xu Qing fell silent. A long time later, he grabbed a lump of black ash and the Purple Moon power in his body spread out, transforming into hundreds of threads that quickly fused into it. According to his previous research, he quickly simulated wisps of different curses and attached them to the black ash.

During this process, the ball of black ash began to shrink. The color on it gradually changed until it became multicolored. Its size also changed.

Xu Qing squeezed and an irregular pill appeared in his palm.

On the surface, it looked similar to the curse-resolving pill and its aura was exactly the same. However, its essence was different.

This was because all the curses in it were actually formed by Xu Qing's Purple Moon power.

"If I were to compare the Red Moon's curse to an enemy army, the current state of my purple energy is like changing into an enemy's clothes and altering my appearance. This way, it's difficult for the enemy to discover the truth, allowing me to successfully blend in with them."

"Using this method, it can instantly erupt from within the enemy army, thus neutralizing some of the curse before they can devour it."

Xu Qing's thoughts were clear. He took out an experimental ferocious beast. It was a scorpion. After it appeared, it shivered and didn't dare to raise its tail.

Xu Qing took a look and placed the pill in his hand beside its mouth.

"Eat."

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

The scorpion didn't dare to refuse and could only obediently swallow it. After that, its body trembled even more. In just over ten breaths of time, it collapsed and turned into black ashes.

"The disguise wasn't successful."

Xu Qing frowned. After recalling the refinement process earlier, he took out the black ash again and adjusted it slightly before continuing to refine.

Days passed and Xu Qing's attempts continued. Every time he failed, he would make minor adjustments. Finally, on the dusk of the tenth day, his pill successfully disguised itself.
