Chapter 1017 Morning Glow Illuminates the World

Looking at the captain's excited expression, Xu Qing nodded.

"I am going now. I've prepared a lot for this major event but it was all about researching the information. Now there's not much missing. Wait for my good news!"

The captain, filled with excitement, prepared to leave the back room and delve into a deeper discussion with the Diamond Sect's ancestor.

Before he left, Xu Qing shouted out and asked for a piece of the captain's skin.

The captain didn't care and casually threw a piece over. It was as though to him, what he had the most was his skin.

"Is it enough? If not, I still have more!"

The captain generously looked at Xu Qing.

"Enough…" Xu Qing glanced at the piece of skin in front of him and discovered that there was a belly button on it. His expression couldn't help but be strange.

The captain smiled proudly and swaggered away.

Looking at the captain's back view, Xu Qing also sighed with emotion.

This wasn't the first time he had heard the words 'do great thing' from the captain.

Logically speaking, Xu Qing felt that he should have gotten used to it. However, after the captain left, he sat there cross-legged and some waves still rose in his mind.

Truly… every major event of the captain's was extremely exciting. Moreover, as his cultivation level increased, the degree of this excitement continued to increase.

Many times, Xu Qing didn't understand why the captain was so crazily passionate about risking his life.

"He always wants to play himself to death…" Xu Qing sighed. The words 'divine sinner' that the eighth grandpa said when he first saw the captain, appeared in his mind.

"Could it be that Eldest Senior Brother was really a divine sinner in the past?"

Xu Qing fell into deep thought as he recalled the things he and his eldest senior brother had done.

Regardless of whether it was stealing from the Sea Corpse Race, from Nether Fairy, or the ten-guts tree…

It was basically either stealing or eating.

Xu Qing fell silent.

A long time later, he looked in the direction of the captain's residence. At this moment, the trembling emotions of the Diamond Sect's ancestor could be felt.

"According to the captain, he's going to put on an act this time. In that case, we shouldn't be stealing, right?"

As he mumbled, Xu Qing instinctively opened his storage bag and checked his teleportation items. After confirming that there were enough of them, he felt a little more at ease.

"When we go, I will bring the parrot with me."

Xu Qing made a decision and no longer thought about the captain's major matter. He immersed himself in his research on the morning glow.

In fact, by the third day, he was able to adjust some images he wanted through the changes in the seven colors contained in the morning glow.

But unfortunately, these images could only stay in Xu Qing's mind. He could imagine them and try to use the morning light to simulate them, but the scenes reflected were vastly different from what he had in mind.

Light was still light, unable to form images.

So, in the following days, he used the jade slip as a carrier to study the imaging principles between light and images.

The principle wasn't difficult, especially after personally witnessing the scene where the captain used skin and the refraction of light to imprint fingerprints, Xu Qing's understanding of the changes in the light has gained some direction.

"The reason light forms an image is due to refraction. I once observed the dispersal pattern of the morning glow, and I can't say it was incorrect; it's just a manifestation of the myriad ways of destroying all techniques."

"So, what I need to do is focus the morning glow. Because of its uniqueness, it can not only reflect on objects but also on the spells of the enemy!"

"In turn, it will produce some refractions that I can't see…"

"At this point, what I need to do is make those unseen refractions come into focus!"

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly as his eyes gleamed. He then picked up the recording jade slip.

"The difference between an ordinary jade slip and a recording jade slip… The former is sensitive to divine consciousness, so it can be imprinted with divine sense. The latter is sensitive to light, so it can record images."

"Therefore, regardless of whether it's the recording jade slip or the captain's skin, they are both extremely sensitive to light."

Xu Qing put down the recording jade slip and picked up the captain's skin. After studying it, he confirmed the results of his research over the past few days.

"Moreover, the captain's skin is an extraordinary material. Not only is it incredibly tough, but upon closer look, the patterns within give me a sense of rune imprinting."

"This should be a special characteristic of the leader himself. Due to my cultivation level and ordinary status, I cannot achieve it."

"But I can use some other methods to make a part of my skin extremely sensitive to light… thereby stimulating my extraordinary god's body."

"So, in this way, when the morning light is focused and refracted, the images I can't see can be sensed by my skin, and then I can instinctively reveal them!"

Xu Qing's thoughts spun. He lifted his right palm and stared at it.

There were many ways to increase sensitivity to light. Xu Qing felt that what he was best at was relying on the art of plants and vegetation.

"There are many medicinal herbs and poisons that can make the skin sensitive. Although it's a form of harm, when used in the right way, it becomes an auxiliary tool for the divine ability."

"I have many poisons in my pouch now."

"Princess Mingmei is right. Imagination is one of the main reasons why the strength of divine arts is limited."

Xu Qing took a deep breath. After carefully analyzing, he felt that this method was feasible. Hence, he opened his storage bag and took out the poisons that had the effect of making the hide sensitive, preparing to refine his right hand.

He wanted to poison his right hand until it was extremely sensitive to light.

        

   

    

       

"Once I succeed, my hand can be called the Hand of Myriad Techniques!"

Xu Qing's heart pounded as he began to refine.

Just like that, seven days passed in the blink of an eye. From the time Xu Qing started studying the morning glow, half a month had passed.

As for Princess Mingmei, she was already satisfied on the third day.

She could sense the transformations in Xu Qing's morning glow. Although Xu Qing couldn't see it with the naked eye and thought that it couldn't be imaging, it was clear in the eyes of the heir and her.

At that moment, the heir's heart stirred.

Princess Mingmei also nodded.

She felt that it was about enough. What Xu Qing has achieved so far is already quite remarkable; it can be considered as exceeding expectations for the task.

In her view, with Xu Qing's cultivation and comprehension, it was currently impossible for him to truly use the morning glow to reveal all techniques. She had never seen anyone walk this path before.

"But this idea is good. If he continues like this, there may come a day when he truly realizes his dream."

"Young people should dare to dream and dare to try!"

Princess Mingmei smiled, ready to step in and continue guiding after Xu Qing gave up.

However… after that, she discovered that Xu Qing actually frowned with a dissatisfied expression. In the days that followed, she saw Xu Qing studying the recording jade slip, studying Erniu's skin, and… poisoning his own hands.

This scene made Princess Mingmei hesitate. She looked at the heir beside her.

The heir fell silent. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and spoke.

"Third Sister, the most monstrous thing about this kid isn't his cultivation aptitude but his understanding ability."

"Previously, you told him that imagination limits the might of divine arts. This sentence should have stimulated this kid a lot. It's like opening a cage."

"Therefore, I think he might have… really figured out a way to image with the morning glow."

When Mingmei heard this, she fell silent.

Old Eighth, who was at the side, looked at the heir and then at Third Sister.

In this half a month, he also sensed the direction of his third sister and eldest brother's attention, so he secretly paid attention. Now that he saw all of this, he suddenly felt an eagerness to give it a try.

'Back then, I also guided many heaven's chosen of the younger generation. Since Big Brother and Third Sister think so highly of Xu Qing, I'll find an opportunity in the future to give it a try too.'

With this thought in mind, Old Eighth was filled with anticipation.

As for their fifth sister, during the half a month Xu Qing was cultivating, she spent most of her time taking care of those chicks in the backyard, each of which grew plump.

The number of chicks increased at a speed that far exceeded the past. There would be more of them almost every day.

This was especially so since dozens of them had appeared a few days ago. This made Ling'er, who would occasionally come to help, click her tongue when she saw them.

"Fifth Grandma, there are more chicks today."

At that moment, in the backyard, Ling'er was helping to scatter bugs. When she saw those chicks rushing over crazily to eat, she spoke crisply to Grandma Five.

Grandma Five sat there with a smile and nodded.

"When I fatten them up a little more, I'll kill them for you and your brother Xu Qing to nourish your bodies."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bodies of the chicks who were consuming indignantly trembled and their expressions unveiled intense horror.

Especially the dozens that appeared a few days ago, they were in deep despair, making clucking sounds.

They weren't cultivators from the Bitter Life Mountain Range but from the Yin Yang Flower Sect. They had come here because they had investigated the tracks of the culprit who had caused chaos in the Heavenly Bull Mountain Range back then.

After arriving here, they didn't act rashly. They went to the Red Moon Shrine to greet the divine envoy. However, the moment they stepped into the Red Moon Shrine, they felt the world spinning before they could see the divine envoy.

The moment they regained their senses, they had turned into chicks.

Just as these chicks were in despair, a boom rang out from the back room of the apothecary and spread in all directions. There was also a rainbow-colored light that shot out from there, illuminating the surroundings.

This light instantly enveloped the entire apothecary and everyone. It also landed on the chicks. As it continued to erupt, it actually formed a sea of light.

This sea churned, causing the sky to fluctuate at this instant.

As the wind and clouds surged, this sea of light suddenly rose into the air. In the sky, it actually continued to gather and change. One could vaguely see a nail forming!

As soon as the nail appeared, it seemed to trigger an atmospheric phenomenon and the world changed color.

Ling'er gasped and Ning Yan's eyes widened. Wu Jianwu was dumbfounded and Li Youfei was shocked.

The captain's expression changed, Nether Fairy's expression turned solemn, and Ancestor Mogui's eyes flashed.

Some of them had seen this nail before, so they were shocked. Some had never seen this nail before, but they were equally shocked when they sensed the aura it attracted.

Only the heir, Third Sister, Fifth Sister, and Eighth Brother looked at the nail that was taking shape in the sky. Their expressions were the calmest. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a strange glint in their eyes.

This was especially so for the heir and third sister. Under their calm appearances, the waves in their hearts weren't small. They turned their heads and looked at the back room.

That place was the source of the rainbow light.

"He succeeded…"

"That kid is simulating Father's nail!"
