306 Bai Li Soul Pill (1)

　　Time passed.

　　Seven Blood Eyes, Port 176.

　　Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the deck of the swaying magic ship and looked at the distant world. It was early in the morning and the red glow rose from the horizon, as though flames were burning the sky.

　　Xu Qing watched silently.

　　It had been half a month since the Starfish Race was exterminated.

　　In this half a month, the storm caused by the Starfish Race’s matter was still spreading. As the Seven Blood Eyes announced the evil deeds of the Starfish Race and the Illuminate’s member Bai Li behind them, the other races finally knew the reason for their heaven’s chosens’ disappearances. Their anger toward the Starfish Race and Illuminate could not be put into words.

　　Although the Starfish Race had been exterminated, the other three races were still around. There was no need for the Seven Blood Eyes to make a move. Those races that had lost their heaven’s chosen made their moves and headed to the territories of the other three races. There, they saw a large number of iron thread worms and a lot of evidence.

　　Very soon, the three races that had already suffered great losses in the battle with Lord Sixth were destroyed by the other races.

　　Lord Sixth’s attack this time increased the Seven Blood Eyes’ reputation even more. Many races were wary of the Sixth Peak’s mountain war fortress.

　　However, after analysis, most of them felt that although the mountain was strong, the power source inside was ordinary. Although it could support the teleportation of the mountain, it was clearly somewhat weak in terms of suppression.

　　There were even people who deduced that if it wasn’t for the human race’s battle flag, it would probably be very difficult for Lord Sixth to suppress that Illuminate member.

　　However, no matter what, it was a fact that the Starfish Race had been exterminated and the Illuminate member, Bai Li, had been refined. Hence, the strength of the Seven Blood Eyes once again penetrated the hearts of the other races.

　　After Lord Sixth refined the entire Starfish Race, he brought Xu Qing and the captain back to the Seven Blood Eyes. When they returned, Lord Sixth was silent, and so was Xu Qing.

　　They didn’t feel the joy of killing their enemy that they had imagined. Instead, they became calm and the melancholy in the depths of their hearts turned faint.

　　However, life had to continue.

　　“Farewell, Teacher.” Xu Qing picked up a wine gourd. He lifted it in the direction of Purple Earth and took a big gulp. He then closed his eyes.

　　The moment he closed his eyes, a rumbling sound rang out from his body. The 65 magic apertures were like a stove that was burning fiercely. On them… a large number of remnant souls were being refined.

　　These remnant souls were all members of the Starfish Race. They did not have a lot of energy, but there were a lot of them, so they could provide some help in opening magic apertures.

　　Among these many souls, there was also a special soul suppressed in one of Xu Qing’s magic apertures. It burned day and night and never stopped.

　　This soul was that cultivator from the Bizarre Fiend Race.

　　After he was captured by the shadow, he finally collapsed after being tortured by Xu Qing for a few days. Xu Qing then successfully extracted his soul.

　　Golden Crow Refines All Life still couldn’t snatch the talent of this Bizarre Fiend Race. It wasn’t that the emperor-level cultivation art wasn’t good but there were too few origin power. If he wanted to snatch the talent of a race, he needed to refine a large number of members of this race.

　　Xu Qing didn’t care. There was only one thing he cared about and that was to make this cultivator suffer.

　　However, the souls of this race had another characteristic. Their soul power could slowly recover on its own. It was the same even when they were suppressed and refined.

　　“Lord Sixth extracted the souls of the Starfish Race and refined them into a candle. I can’t do this but I can suppress this soul for years and make it wish it was dead. It can continue to provide me with soul power. One day, I’ll be able to snatch its talent,” Xu Qing said softly.

　　Regardless of whether it was because of the uniqueness of this soul that continued to provide soul power or his hatred for this bizarre fiend cultivator, Xu Qing wouldn’t devour it so easily.

　　At that moment, his body rumbled. Other than the suppressed soul, the other remnant souls transformed into a force that attacked the 66th magic aperture. In an instant, the 66th magic aperture was opened. It wasn’t over.

　　At the next moment, the 67th magic aperture was opened.

　　The remaining force continued to gather at the location of the 68th magic aperture. After colliding with it for a long time, it finally broke open.

　　Xu Qing’s entire body trembled and his aura and magic power clearly increased by a lot.

　　He had long sensed that the difficulty of opening the magic apertures after the second life fire was much greater than before. Moreover, the souls of the Starfish Race were incomplete, so they could only provide him with the power to open three magic apertures.

　　Xu Qing opened his eyes and took out a jade box.

　　In this jade box was a black pill.

　　A sinister soul shadow appeared on the pill and let out a soundless roar, as though it wanted to break out of the restraints of the pill and escape. However, it clearly couldn’t do so.

　　This was an extremely precious high-level soul pill!

　　To cultivators who cultivated the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Art, souls were the fuel to open their magic apertures. Hence, they needed to kill a lot and extract souls to continuously increase their cultivation.

　　However, unless there was a war, it was not easy to kill many. Hence, there were soul pills. One such pill could allow a cultivator to obtain a large amount of soul power.

　　For example, the pill that First Peak’s Wu Jianwu had thrown out was also a soul pill, but its grade was extremely low.

　　As for Xu Qing’s pill, Lord Sixth had personally refined a portion of Bai Li’s soul into it and given it to him after returning to the sect.

　　He only extracted a very small portion.

　　Lord Sixth was straightforward. He needed a large number of souls to replenish the power of the magic artifacts, so he could only give Xu Qing one pill. However, he told Xu Qing that he owed him a favor.
