Night without Borders

Chapter 111: Mountain and River Spirit Nest
"The Mountain and River Spirit Nest, what is that place?" Qin Ming was surprised.

He supported Li Qingyue and searched in this vibrant place.

"It was originally formed naturally. With a little arrangement, it can become a magical place. Some can grow rare medicinal herbs, and some are the tombs favored by the royal family, where they are used to move their ancestral tombs..."

Li Qingyue talked as she walked. Her originally flawless face now looked a little pale, and her silver armor was badly damaged, with not much left.

For example, only the shoulder of her left arm was still covered with armor, and her fair forearm was exposed. The armor was full of cracks and bloodstains, giving it a kind of imperfect beauty.

Li Qingyue was seriously injured. Not only was his silver armor broken, but even the golden clothes with life-saving runes engraved inside were shattered and completely dimmed.

Qin Ming took out the medicine that Tang Xumi gave him and asked her if she could take it and whether it would be effective for her injury.

Li Qingyue shook her head. She had taken elixirs before, but the effects were not very great. This time she narrowly escaped death, and the divine haze in her Huangting was almost extinguished.

The spiritual light formed by her consciousness has become as flickering as a candle flame, no longer as bright as the sun as before.

……

Outside the ruins of Luofu Fairy Mountain, Meng Xinghai felt extremely uneasy. He increasingly suspected that someone wanted to "arrange" Li Qingyue out, and it might even be dangerous.

Sure enough, as some blood-stained golden-armored guards and elite disciples from outside the sect escaped, the situation inside gradually became clear.

Many people were surprised that the five core disciples joined forces to severely injure Li Qingyue in the White Bamboo Forest, causing her to suffer heavy damage and completely lose the qualification to compete for the near-immortal artifact.

"At least ten golden armored guards died at Li Ye's hands, but he himself was also bleeding and seriously injured, and the protective rune on his body had been extinguished."

When Meng Xinghai heard the news, his face turned grim. The situation of those two people was worrying. In this situation, if someone else went to stop them, it would be really dangerous.

"It's too dark!" How could he not see that this was "arranged". From the very beginning, Li Qingyue was feared by all the core disciples. Before entering the "Spirit Cave", they had already communicated with each other secretly.

Many people were feeling sorry because Li Qingyue had originally had the greatest hope of getting the legendary item, but ended up being eliminated.

An old man sighed: "It was really not easy for her this time. She was able to survive and break out from the siege of the five core disciples. This is enough to prove herself."

Although the water in the pond is muddy, some people can see clearly and know that there is something fishy going on and can smell a hint of danger.

A middle-aged man in feathered clothes spoke up: "Even if he can't get something close to immortality, Li Qingyue has established prestige among this generation. Just based on today's performance, how many people will dare to disobey him in the future?"

"It's still a pity. If she gets that item this time, it's not impossible for her to become the leader of the Fangwai Land in the future."

Some people also smiled faintly and said, "It's useless to say that. Li Qingyue is out!"

In the night fog world, in cities everywhere, many gamblers wailed again, feeling that they were being cheated so much that even the most authoritative night newspaper had become an "accomplice" and misled them.

"Mountain God, please destroy me. I don't want to live anymore!"

……

"Some of those mysterious places became spirit nests, some turned into tombs, and some condensed into evil spirit orifices..." Li Qingyue and Qin Ming explained slowly.

This is a land full of vitality, with abundant vegetation, red cliffs and strange rocks, and outstanding scenery. Streams gathered from hot springs spread through the mountains, nourishing this beautiful place.

"How magnificent!" Qin Ming exclaimed. In front of him was a thousand-foot-long waterfall, crystal clear, with red clouds blooming, illuminating this beautiful landscape.

The fire spring becomes a waterfall, which must be the scarcest resource in the outside world, and huge cities will be built around it, but here it is just a landscape.

“It is worthy of being the top blessed place in the past.”

Qin Ming looked over and saw many similar wonders, with high-level fire springs being more dense.

No wonder thousands of years ago, the big figures in the outside world wanted to try to upgrade this place into a cave paradise.

"Is there a cave in the night fog world?" Qin Ming asked.

"As far as I know, there is no such place." Li Qingyue said that Luofu Fairy Mountain has the qualities of a cave heaven, but it is not yet time for transformation.

"There are inscriptions of the ancestors here. Let's follow this road to find it." Li Qingyue touched the moss-covered stone wall with her hand. Suddenly, she stumbled and almost fell down. One can imagine how serious her injuries were.

Qin Ming quickly supported her again, showing a worried look, and asked: "With such a serious injury, there will be no problem with your sea of ​​consciousness and Huangting, right?"

“Now that we have found the spirit nest, these are nothing. They are not having a good time either. Two of them were nearly killed by me, and the other three were also seriously injured.” Li Qingyue said.

Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh. Time can change everything. The once elegant girl has grown to this point now. She can even be a core disciple of Zhan Fangwai. Her road to rise is very fierce.

He was not satisfied with himself and wanted to sigh. He was also seriously injured, but none of his opponents were well-known figures. Only Tan Yu was mentioned.

He Tai, who has the bearing of a young master, Chen Shuhang, who has mastered the five-colored thunder and fire power, Jiang Congyun, a disciple of Chunyang Palace, the mysterious successor of the Five Elements Palace, and the registered disciple of the Yuqing lineage, these are the powerful figures, all of whom have mastered the top-level Tianguang power.

Tan Yu was just mentioned by others. He integrated more than ten kinds of Tianguang Jin in the freshman stage. Anyone with some foundation would be like this.

"I'm still not strong enough!" Qin Ming sighed. He felt that if he fought with those powerful people, he would die here.

Li Qingyue said, "Don't underestimate yourself. You are already very powerful. You have only been reborn five times, but you are already able to kill an Outer Saint. Those people have Taoist traditions behind them, have been carefully trained, and have already stepped into the Outer Saint realm. I believe you can quickly close the gap and surpass them."

Qin Ming has been doing well since his body was reborn. He integrated various kinds of Tianguang power and even destroyed Jinjiling alone. He had a very impressive record. However, when he came here, he found that it was difficult to look down on opponents from big places.

"I need to work hard to improve myself!" he nodded.

The main reason is that there is Li Qingyue as a comparison. She can kill the strongest core disciples in Fangwai, while Qin Ming can only deal with unknown people.

"Hey, we should be getting closer." Li Qingyue showed a look of joy, with brilliant light flowing in her eyes. She stared ahead with a mysterious pupil technique.

"Over there!" She pointed to a road. In this area, the mountains and plains were covered with golden maple trees, all with bright yellow leaves, and there were also fire springs reflecting the light. It was a good place to live.

Qin Ming supported Li Qingyue and walked through the woods where golden leaves were falling. They came to a rocky mountain with no soil and no vegetation on it.

There are stairs carved out on the stone mountain, leading to the middle of the mountain, and the slope is very steep.

"It's this place. I hope this spiritual nest can be used." Li Qingyue saw the mark left by the ancestor on the stone mountain.

Qin Ming helped her up the steep mountain. When they reached the halfway point, they saw a closed stone door.

"There's movement in the distance!"

"Li Qingxu!"

The two men discovered Li Qingxu's figure on a distant mountain. He was confronting Xiang Yiwu, the abandoned disciple of Tathagata. They must have fought each other just now.

"The ghost is still lingering around. He must know that you are injured, so he followed you all the way here. Does he want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack you?" Qin Ming stared into the distance.

Li Qingyue said: "It may not be for revenge. He may have heard that my ancestor has made arrangements here, and he also wants to enter the spirit nest."

Although this matter is very secretive, Li Qingxu's master has a very high status and is qualified to review some sealed materials, and may have discovered some clues.

Qin Ming said: "Xiang Yiwu is really powerful. He actually blocked Li Qingxu."

His face was solemn. If this abandoned disciple of Tathagata had not been nearby, he and Li Qingyue might have encountered a crisis.

This trip to the Lingdong was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

Li Qingxu disappeared and did not fight Xiang Yiwu in the end.

Qin Ming whispered, "I'm going to see Xiang Yiwu and ask him to help us block Li Qingxu temporarily. If that guy breaks in at a critical moment, the situation will be very bad."

Li Qingyue nodded. With time, it was possible that Li Qingxu would find this place.

Not long after, Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu met again. Before he could speak, the abandoned disciple of Tathagata complained: "What's going on? After I came into contact with you, I always have to face the core disciples of Fangwai Land. It's really dangerous."

"I will give you the Fire Sutra in advance, but you have to help me stop Li Qingxu. I believe in your character."

When Xiang Yiwu heard these words, his big eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.

"That's great. I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. If someone respects me an inch, I will respect them ten feet. I will never let you suffer any loss. I have a copy of the Wu Ji Jing here, which is more precious than your miraculous work Li Huo Jing."

As soon as Qin Ming heard the name of this book, he knew it was extraordinary and must have a great origin. The two characters "Wu Ji" were enough to explain everything.

Then Qin Ming recited the scriptures. Xiang Yiwu closed his eyes and listened carefully, actually memorizing them silently.

"This is a book. Can you remember it word for word?" Qin Ming was amazed by his talent.

Xiang Yiwu explained: "After entering the outer saint realm, the newcomers can initially use some of their consciousness. My master has a secret method that can temporarily imprint the words heard into the mind for a few days. Now I don't have paper and pen, so I can only use this method to record it bluntly."

"Are you really an abandoned disciple?" Qin Ming didn't quite believe it.

"You treated me with sincerity and gave me the Lihuo Sutra first, so I will naturally not hide it from you. I am not an abandoned disciple, but I have been 'released'. The competition in the sect is too fierce, and I have become 'wild' now. The elders want to expand the Tathagata Dharma and have tried many ways. I am trying one of them."

Xiang Yiwu sighed. How far he could go depended on his own efforts. According to the elders, anyone who wanted to achieve something had to endure hardships first, as staying on Lingshan Mountain would only lead to failure.

He said, "If I lose, I will be an abandoned disciple. If I succeed and surpass my fellow disciples, I can return to become Tathagata one day."

"I wish you to become Tathagata!" Qin Ming said with a smile.

Xiang Yiwu shook his head and sighed, "I dare not think about it. Some of my brothers are too scary. I am still far from that. Alas, there is no one to raise wild ones, so it is really difficult."

After he memorized the Lihuo Sutra, he began to recite the Wu Ji Sutra for Qin Ming.

Qin Ming stopped him and said, "Practice and recite the sutra at the same time. Be serious and focused. I will learn from you."

He had never set foot in the realm of outer saints, nor did he have the secret methods of Master Xiang Yiwu, so it was impossible for him to memorize shorthand. The only way was to have spiritual resonance.

Xiang Yiwu nodded, chanting scriptures and practicing his miraculous skills here.

Qin Ming's mind was highly concentrated, and this time the effect was excellent, and he thoroughly understood the true meaning of the Wu Ji Meridian.

"You are still a freshman, how can you remember it so quickly?" Xiang Yiwu thought that he would have to recite the scriptures many times, but he didn't expect that just once would be enough.

The look he gave Qin Ming was the same as the other party's look at him before, which was also shocking.

"I'll remember it roughly. If I still don't understand, I'll ask you later." Qin Ming said.

Not long after, he returned to Shishan.

Li Qingyue used a special spiritual light to shake the stone door and then opened this place.

Unlike what was expected, the air inside was not polluted. On the contrary, it was very fresh, with bursts of spiritual light rising up.

Li Qingyue said: "This place is connected to the ancestral vein of the earth, and the spirituality here is much richer than that of many blessed places."

Soon, she showed a look of joy, and felt that her damaged consciousness began to become active and was no longer so dim.

"Hmm?!" Qin Ming found that as soon as he set foot here, his spirit became vigorous, as if it was slowly improving and some kind of change was about to take place.
