This was caused by the suppression of his aura. At the same time, his body was telling Xu Qing that it was ready to attack.
“If I can obtain the skin of a Foundation Building sea lizard, this trip would be extremely fruitful. Moreover, the profit is enough to support the advancement of both my magic boat and my own cultivation. I won’t have to worry about spirit stones for some time!”
A cold glint rose in Xu Qing’s eyes.
The sea lizard skins he had obtained previously added up to about 2,000 spirit stones. Including the items on the people he killed and Senior Sister Ding’s inquiries on the way, his gains now reached about 4,000 spirit stones.
“Get a Foundation Building sea lizard skin and leave this place!”
The moment Xu Qing made up his mind, a loud bang rang out from the foot of the mountain. The three Foundation Building sea lizards were already approaching the top of the mountain.
They didn’t choose to fly. Instead, they charged forward recklessly, making use of the broken trees to make it easier for them to shed their skin.
They directly rushed to the top of the mountain. Ignoring everyone, they then strode into the basin amidst the rumbling sounds of their footsteps.
Because their bodies were too large, when the three of them were in the basin together, they instantly occupied more than half of the basin. Observing the Foundation Building creatures at such a close distance caused all the cultivators here to feel as though their breathing was about to stop.
Shortly after, they roared at the sky. The roars of the three Foundation Building sea lizards contained lethality.
As the sound spread out, it was as though the world was rumbling. The impact formed by the sound waves directly swept in all directions.
Some cultivators, whose bodies weren’t strong enough or couldn’t dodge in time, trembled fiercely and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The surrounding trees couldn’t withstand the sound waves and were all shattered.
The roars of the three Foundation Building sea lizards continued to spread in all directions, causing the nearby mountains to be affected as well. Trees were destroyed, and some people with low cultivation levels didn’t even have a chance to escape. One by one, they screamed and fell.
Xu Qing’s body also trembled intensely but his body was strong enough. He wasn’t too affected by the sound waves but the tree beneath him was reduced to dust.
Xu Qing landed on the ground with no care about the destruction of the tree. He stared at the basin like an eagle, waiting for the moment when the molting was completed.
As for the old man from Panquan Road, he was also completely focused. The Sea Ghost in the surroundings and the nonhuman race cultivators who had withstood the sound waves were all the same.
Just like that, as everyone waited, the time it took for an incense stick to burn passed. Among the three Foundation Building sea lizards in the basin, two mid-stage Foundation Building sea lizards completed their molting after some difficulty.
The moment the lizard molts landed, amidst everyone’s pained gazes, they bit off a large piece of their lizard molt and swallowed it. Only then did they jump up and directly rise into the air from the basin, letting out a low roar.
Although the shed skins had large portions missing, they were still filled with bizarreness. They actually shrank on their own and became the size of a palm in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, more than ten Sea Ghost members rushed out. The other rogue cultivators and nonhumans in the surroundings were the same. No one cared about the threat that the Sea Ghost had once posed. The huge benefits were enough to make their eyes red with greed.
The old man from Panquan Road was the same. He charged forward fiercely.
Xu Qing was even faster. In an instant, other than the Litu Sect who didn’t move, all the cultivators here rushed over.
There were more than ten people fighting over the two Foundation Building sea lizard skins.
Xu Qing chose the one closest to him. It was the same for the old man from Panquan Road. Although the two of them didn’t like each other, they still chose to join forces to a certain extent. Of course, they were still vigilant against each other.
The two of them instantly approached the lizard skin along with other competitors and the killing intent erupted.
Xu Qing circulated all his cultivation base and with a wave of his hand, droplets of water spread out in all directions. He even took out his dagger and brandished it coldly, clashing against a nonhuman cultivator from the Sea Ghost Organization.
This cultivator from the Sea Ghost Organization had a cultivation base at the Perfected Qi Condensation Realm and was very powerful. However, Xu Qing was stronger. He clenched his left hand into a fist and punched the other party’s chest. The Ba shadow behind him roared and suppressed the enemy.
The nonhuman cultivator let out a low roar as he counterattacked. He even took out a talisman. However, he still suffered injuries and spat out blood. The talisman almost collapsed and his body was knocked back by 70 to 80 feet.
The old man from Panquan Road was equally ferocious. Ropes suddenly appeared around his body and all the rogue cultivators and nonhumans who were fighting with him were instantly bound by the ropes. Some of them even extended toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing knocked back several of them in a row and was about to grab the lizard’s skin when the ropes in the surroundings instantly wrapped around him. However, Xu Qing was already prepared. He let out a cold snort and the qi and blood in his entire body spread out.
With a boom, all the ropes around him shattered. Just as his hand was about to grab the lizard skin, four cultivators from the Sea Ghost Organization rushed toward him with reddened eyes. All of them performed hand seals and activated lethal spells.
The old man from Panquan Road was also surrounded and stopped by rogue cultivators.
There were also two Sea Ghost cultivators who went straight for the lizard skin. Just when they were about to succeed, the void beside the lizard skin suddenly distorted and a huge snake head appeared in the air. It directly held the skin in its mouth.
Its expression seemed to be filled with excitement. The giant snake looked at Xu Qing and the old man and was about to go help Xu Qing… However, the old man’s eyes lit up and he laughed loudly. A runic treasure light appeared around his body, forcing everyone back as he headed straight for the giant snake.

After hugging it, the old man said with excitement.
“Good girl, well done.”
The Ba shadow behind Xu Qing roared and the sea of fire scattered in all directions, causing the few Sea Ghost cultivators beside him to scream and vomit blood as they retreated. Xu Qing didn’t bother with them and turned to look at the old man. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he rushed over.
However, at this moment, the thousand-foot-long sea lizard in the basin that no one had dared to disturb roared at the sky.
The lizard skin on its body directly split open and its new body crawled out. It seemed to have no time to devour its lizard skin as it headed straight for the sky immediately.
Its blood and qi continued to swell, as though it was about to surpass Foundation Building!!
The aftershock of the roar spread out like a violent wind, causing everyone’s minds to be in turmoil. While many of the cultivators were bleeding from their seven orifices from the shock, the lizard skin of the late-stage Foundation Building sea lizard suddenly shrunk and split into three pieces that scattered around.
The aura emitted by these three lizard molts was astonishing, far surpassing the two from before. There was even a faint golden glow on them.
As soon as this golden light appeared, rumbling sounds rang out in all directions. Even the clouds surged on their own and a hint of divinity spread out, giving Xu Qing the feeling that it was the same as when he entered the Seven Blood Eyes and faced the pressure test of the divine creature’s blood!
“This… I misjudged. This late-stage Foundation Building lizard actually has a trace of divinity in its body. This lizard’s molts contain the aura of divinity, and its value is much higher!!” The old man’s eyes were wide open as he exclaimed involuntarily.
Right at this moment, everyone from the Litu Sect opened their eyes, revealing a cold glint. They were waiting for these!
