Chapter 1040 Poison Restriction Divine Curse, Refining the Gaze (3)

The cold air grew denser and denser, containing the power to freeze everything. It spread toward Xu Qing from everywhere.

Cracking sounds rang out from the lake on the ground as it froze. This cold air was about to touch Xu Qing.

At that moment, the poison mist outside Xu Qing's body suddenly churned and rolled back into him.

It was as though Xu Qing, who was in the mist, had become a black hole that absorbed all the poison mist in the blink of an eye.

As the poison mist disappeared, Xu Qing's figure was clearly revealed. At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened!

His pitch-black eyes were like an abyss. When one met his gaze, it was as though they were staring at an abyss or being stared at by an abyss.

His gaze was extremely deep, as though it hid the eternal night. It was enough to cause huge fluctuations in the hearts of onlookers.

The most astonishing thing was that this gaze… contained anomalous substances!

This anomalous substance was special and could instantly taint the body and soul of those who met the gaze with the Poison Restriction.

It was the Poison Restriction Eye!

The white-robed old man's body trembled, and the mirror surface of the lake where he was located also turned black in an instant, with tendrils of ink-like substance surging into it.

"Such guts!"

The white-robed old man let out a deep shout. The lake churned and the mirror shone. Cold air surged into the sky, on the verge of erupting.

At that moment, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and ignored the cold air gushing over from the surroundings. He then lowered his head and looked at his raised right hand.

There was a pill there.

Under his gaze, as the power of his Poison Restriction blasted in, the essence of the pill rapidly changed. The medicinal effect of the pill that reduced the curse also rapidly rose.

Xu Qing's Poison Restriction not only contained the divine curse but also all the poison he had swallowed earlier. At this moment, all of them gathered in his gaze and fused into the curse subduing pill.

These illusory poisons, fused with the medicinal pill, interacted, balanced, and exerted their influence within.

As for the effect of this curse subduing pill, it erupted at this moment. From nearly 20%, it directly erupted to a level that could reduce the curses by 30% and it was still continuing.

Finally, it emitted a purple color. When the surroundings turned hazy, Xu Qing lifted his head. The instant the cold air in the surroundings enveloped him, he said his last sentence.

"The pill is completed. It can reduce the curse by… 50%!"

As his voice rang out, the cold air enveloped Xu Qing's entire body. Under some irresistible law, his body directly turned into an ice sculpture.

Only the medicinal pill fell from his hand and floated on the ice layer of the lake. While it shone with purple essence, it also gave off an illusory feeling.

A long time later, this medicinal pill fused into the ice and appeared in the white-robed old man's hand.

The white-robed old man looked at the medicinal pill in front of him and his expression changed again. He was first shocked, then puzzled, then confused, and finally hesitant.

In his artifact spirit life, he had never seen such a medicinal pill.

? ?????

???? ?? 

After a long time, he suddenly blew at this medicinal pill.

With this breath, the pill actually turned from illusory to real.

After that, he raised his hand and waved it. Immediately, an ice sculpture appeared and melted in front of him, revealing a middle-aged man.

This burly dude's Nihility cultivation erupted explosively. After he woke up, he was stunned for a moment, but after regaining his senses, he didn't choose to escape. Instead, he respectfully cupped his fists at the white-robed old man.

"Greetings, Lord."

"Eat it." The white-robed old man was expressionless. He waved the medicinal pill in his hand and it landed in front of the burly dude.

The burly dude hesitated but still chose to comply. He took the medicinal pill and took a look. His expression changed slightly before he swallowed it and closed his eyes to experience it.

A while later, his body trembled violently. He abruptly opened his eyes and spat out a large mouthful of red blood.

The blood contained a dense aura of curse and decay. It gathered in the air and vaguely transformed into the image of the Red Moon. There was also the curse power inside that was about to erupt.

However, the white-robed old man let out a cold snort. Immediately, this void rumbled and descended to suppress.

The blood instantly turned into ice and landed on the lake. All the fluctuations inside were also sealed.

After doing this, the white-robed old man looked at the burly man with a strange glint in his eyes. At the same time, his expression changed again, revealing shock.

As for the burly dude, he was equally shocked. He sensed his body and cried out in horror.

"My curse… has been permanently reduced by half!!"

"Lord, what pill is this!"

The white-robed old man didn't answer the burly dude's question. He flicked his sleeve and cold air instantly assaulted him again. The burly dude's body turned into an ice sculpture again and sank into the lake.

After doing this, the white-robed elder stood there in a daze for a moment before his body also sank into the lake.

When he appeared, he was at the location of Xu Qing's frost sculpture.

Staring at the frost sculpture in front of him, the white-robed old man fell silent again. A while later, he lifted his hand and tapped the space between Xu Qing's brows.

With this touch, the ice sculpture rapidly melted, creating fog that dispersed soon after. Xu Qing's physique shook as he regained consciousness.

"Greetings, Senior."

Xu Qing wasn't too surprised. Regardless of how the other party interpreted his recent actions, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he conveyed through his actions that all his previous endeavors were, in fact, part of the process of refining the hex subduing pill.

That final glance imbued the medicine with an intent of near-sublimation, and that alone was enough to explain everything.

The white-robed elder stared at Xu Qing with a strange expression. After a long time, his profound voice echoed in the void.

"In the course of history, there have been a total of 79 people who passed this first round of assessment, but in this era, there are only three."
