Night without Borders

Chapter 120 A great harvest
At the edge of the pit, a handful of non-Buddhist disciples entered, with pure yang blood essence attached to them, emitting sacred rays of light, like falling meteors one after another, piercing through the thick colorful mist formed by the skylight.

If they were protected by pure yang substances, it's not that they couldn't enter the venue. They just didn't want to take the risk themselves. Otherwise, what's the point of bringing in the outsiders?
Qin Ming was holding the item close to immortality, looking at the ashes on the ground, and said, "The curtain has been raised. This is the stage for the disciples outside the sect. Why are you interfering? You won't die if you don't do it."

After he killed He Tai, he turned and looked at Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe.

The two men stood on the slope, quite detached, and did not enter to help He Tai.

But now they all looked serious. Qin Ming had dealt with the disciples of the Great Ape King cleanly and efficiently, which made them feel pressured.

"Although He Tai is not an extraordinary person, he is also famous. If he dies here, there will definitely be trouble."

"Due to their power, some members of the Great Ape King lineage are quite stubborn, have violent personalities, and hold grudges."

Li Tianhe and Chen Xingyuan spoke one after another.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "The disciples from outside the sect will be here soon."

Their words seemed unrelated, but they both knew each other's intentions.

Chen Xingyuan said: "When the disciples from the outside world show up, we will tell them the truth. He Tai went to pick you up, but unfortunately he was burned to death on the way by the light of heaven."

Qin Ming tapped the Bagua furnace lightly, and it immediately emitted a crisp metallic vibration, like the ringing of a Taoist bell, as if it could wipe away the dust in people's hearts.

He said, "If you don't try it yourself, it's hard to understand the wonders of things that are close to immortality."

"To be frank, we really want to study it," said Li Tianhe.

Qin Ming said: "In addition to 'telling the truth', I also want some Tianguang Jinfa."

"You have a big appetite."

"With our identities, once we help you cover up the truth, we will definitely not be able to change our words in the future. Isn't that enough?"

The two spoke one after another, both frowning slightly.

Qin Ming said calmly, "You are too stingy. You want to study something close to immortality without paying anything. Is it such a cheap thing? You don't have much time now."

Originally, the three of them might have been going to fight to the death, but they ended up making a "deal" temporarily, and in the end, He Tai might be the only one who got hurt.

Qin Ming actually wanted to beat up these two guys, but the time and place were not right. If he beat one of them up, it would cause a big disturbance.

"Okay, I have a Tianguang Jin here." Chen Xingyuan nodded.

Li Tianhe also followed suit and was willing to show off a set of skills.

The two of them attached great importance to things that were close to immortality, and thought that there were relevant records in their Taoist traditions.

Qin Ming came close to them and started "negotiating". He was not afraid of the two of them attacking together, because they both knew that they did not have the strength to kill the other instantly.

"I have a set of iron leg skills here..." Chen Xingyuan said.

Qin Ming wanted to kick him immediately. What kind of broken technique was this? He interrupted him directly and said, "Your Five Elements Palace is a big family with a lot of great achievements, right? Just give me one of the Five Elements attributes. I don't want any higher level ones."

Chen Xingyuan's face froze. The other party's request was ridiculously high. He himself was already in the stage of practicing extraordinary skills, so how could he possibly trade this kind of power to an outsider?
If he really dared to leak it, the elders of the Five Elements Palace would skin him alive.

"Then let's use the Yin Tu Fist!" Chen Xingyuan looked like he was bleeding heavily.

"I have the Wu Ji Sutra, do I think your boxing skills are worth it? The Five Elements Palace is just so-so." Qin Ming shook his head.

Chen Xingyuan frowned deeply, looking at the approaching Fangwai disciples, and finally sighed and said, "Then let's use the wind and fire power."

"What are the details?" Qin Ming asked.

Chen Xingyuan said: "The wind drives the fire, and the fire carries the wind. This is not only an offensive Tianguang Jin, but also a very powerful body movement."

Qin Ming nodded immediately and said, "Practice it seriously and recite it aloud, and I will follow you."

Li Tianhe was very conscious and retreated far enough away.

After a moment, Chen Xingyuan had a complicated expression. He only practiced it once, but the other party actually nodded. Was he pretending to know, or was he extremely talented?
He cut off all distracting thoughts, held the object close to immortality in his hand, stood aside and tried to sense it with his heart, but, apart from the fact that knocking on the furnace could make his mind clear, he found nothing.

On the other side, Qin Ming and Li Tianhe also completed the transaction and learned Yuhua Jin from him.

Practicing this Tianguang Jin can nourish the body and heal injuries. If you practice Yuhua Jin when you are exhausted, you can speed up your recovery.

According to Li Tianhe, practicing Yuhua Jin once a day is like taking jade liquid, which is equivalent to drinking a bowl of tonic and has great benefits for the body.

This statement is certainly an exaggeration, but long-term practice does have benefits.

"Alas, if you were still alive, I would probably be able to obtain the Tianguang Jin." Qin Ming looked at the ashes left by He Tai with regret.

The Fangwai disciples had arrived but did not get closer. Even though they had pure yang blood essence, they were still wary of the area at the bottom of the giant pit where the sky light was the most intense.

They have seen that Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe have successively studied the Bagua furnace. This is normal. No one is not interested in that kind of artifact.

The disciples outside Fang did not stop him, after all, the other person had risked his life to bring him out.

Tang Xumi, Jiang Shengyu and others did not come in person, but asked the people they trusted most to come, as well as the disciples from outside the sect who had some ideas of their own.

"Everyone, we paid a heavy price and finally took out the near-immortal object. It's a pity that Senior Brother He Tai was burned to ashes by the sky light. God is jealous of talents."

Chen Xingyuan spoke and fulfilled his promise. Even when talking about such a "sad" thing, he looked calm.

Qin Ming could see that, who knew who had taught this boy to always want to stay in an indifferent, carefree state.

Li Tianhe saw what he was thinking and said, "He is practicing the "Withering and Flourishing Sutra" and is currently in the "Withering" stage."

"What sad news! Senior Brother He Tai, who was born with extraordinary talent, passed away here. What a pity! There will be one less Grandmaster in the future."

The disciples of Fangwai started to speak one after another, saying some polite words, but... they were too perfunctory. Their eyes never left the immortal thing, and some of them couldn't hide their excitement when they were "remembering" He Tai, with smiles on their lips.

After Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe finished studying the Bagua furnace, they did not stir up trouble, told the truth about the cause of He Tai's death, and returned the furnace to Qin Ming.

"Fellow brothers, in order to obtain something close to immortality, He Taiyu became an immortal, and I was also seriously injured..." Qin Ming said.

"Junior brother, I have some magic medicine here, I'll give it to you..." Immediately, a disciple from the outside world came over with great enthusiasm and threw a jade jar over.

Qin Ming sighed, "The friend who asked me to help was seriously injured and left early. Now I don't know who to give the item to."

"Brother, please give it to me. It is a hot potato. If you carry it with you, you may get into trouble."

"Brother, what do you want? I will help you solve your problems. Things close to immortals are useless to you. Once you walk out of the area with dense skylight, you will be easily targeted."

……

In an instant, all the disciples outside the sect used secret methods to secretly convey messages to Qin Ming.

He responded: "My fellow brothers and sisters, this is the guardian item of the Fangwai Land. It has nothing to do with me, so I will naturally return it with both hands."

He paused for a moment and said, "A senior brother said that I was seriously injured because of something close to immortality, and wanted to give me a secret book as compensation. Well... I thank you." Who said that? The disciples looked at each other.

"Junior brother, I accidentally got a book of martial arts on the road to enlightenment, called 'The Golden Finger', and I'm giving it to you." Someone spoke first. Regardless of whether anyone had said that before or not, since no one had said anything yet, he would give it to you.

"Brother, I have the Dragon Claw Power here. After you master it, your five fingers will be indestructible!" another person spoke.

Then, more people reported their skills and names.

Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe looked at Qin Ming. They didn’t expect that the fake successor of Liuyu system was really good at “asking for power”!
“Brother, I have a copy of the Golden Crow Shining at Night Scripture here, which is probably even rarer than any other magical skill.” A female disciple from the outer sect spoke up.

"If you have this sutra, I'll give you something close to immortality." Qin Ming immediately responded enthusiastically, no longer concealing his feelings, and prepared to trade on the spot.

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long black hair down to her waist. She came over gracefully with a gentle smile, saying, "Senior Brother..."

When she saw Qin Ming leaving the bottom of the giant pit and was still more than ten meters away from her, she suddenly made a move, and the divine mist in her Huangting bloomed, sweeping towards the figure in front.

Qin Ming had known for a long time that she was lying, but he still came out, mainly because he wanted to find Fangwai disciples to verify whether they could activate the Bagua Furnace.

He swept across like lightning, dodged quickly, urged the wind to move, swept up the sky light, and rushed forward with a bang.

The girl's body was covered in rain of light, which swirled around her, as if it had turned into dense flying knives and shot towards the young man in front.

Qin Ming has practiced many defensive skills, such as Golden Silkworm Skill, Golden Light Shield, Golden Armor Skill... and they are operated in a fusion and unified form.

In addition, there are also powerful defensive methods in the Lihuo Sutra and the Wu Ji Sutra, which are also activated by him with the integrated Tianguang Jin.

In an instant, his body surface was covered with golden textures, steaming with the essence of the earth, and with a faint glow of fire.

The rain of light from the foreign disciples fell like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. With a hissing sound, it turned into flowing light and dissipated completely.

Qin Ming had already rushed to her, and the flash of his fist frightened the girl so much that she screamed. She had seen with her own eyes the tragic scene of Zheng Maoze being bullied so close to her.

With a bang, she was grabbed up.

Qin Ming did not hit her, but grabbed her neck and took her to the edge of the pit.

"Brother, I misunderstood. I have no ill intentions. I was just too impatient." The woman's voice trembled, because the heavenly light energy flowing on the other party's palm was like a divine flame in a furnace, burning her and making her pale.

She didn't dare to release her spiritual light, fearing that it would be ignited and burned by the other party's Tianguang Jin. What kind of terrifying boy was this? The Tianguang Jin he practiced was too scary.

"Can you activate something close to immortality?" Qin Ming asked in a deep voice, and then shouted: "Tell me quickly!"

The girl was intimidated and frightened. She stammered, "How can we control such a heavy weapon? Unless we nurture it for many years, let it regain its spirituality, and gain its recognition."

Qin Ming captured her emotional fluctuations, quickly resonated with her, and confirmed that what she said was true!

In this way, he would feel at ease, knowing that even if he threw it out, he would not make the mistake of aiding the enemy.

Qin Ming did not make things difficult for her. He released her snow-white neck and said, "Go and fetch the Golden Crow Shining at Night Scripture, and the thing close to immortality will be yours."

The girl ran away immediately, like a frightened little white rabbit, cursing in her heart. If she had the Golden Crow Shining at Night Sutra, would she have cheated for things that were close to immortality?

"I was kind enough to help you retrieve the heavy weapon and was seriously injured, but in the end I was deceived and attacked. It really makes me heartbroken." Qin Ming sighed.

With a clang, he threw the Bagua Furnace into the bottom of the huge pit where the sky was bright.

"Brother, don't!"

"Brother, no, we didn't lie to you."

A group of non-Buddhist disciples shouted and became anxious.

Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe looked at each other, wanting to pick it up and study it further, but when they saw Qin Ming's gaze, they gave up.

The two knew that cutting off someone's financial resources was like killing their parents and would result in a mortal feud.

"Junior brother, wait a moment!" Finally, several disciples from outside the sect rushed to the surface, communicated briefly, and really brought back three secret books.

They couldn't possibly carry it with them; this was the reward earned by some outside saints and was borrowed by a few people.

Qin Ming flipped through it and found that there really were "The Golden Finger of Cutting" and "The Power of Dragon Claw". In addition, there was also a book called "Three Mountains Seal", which required seals to be formed to use, and its power seemed to be very strong!

He was very satisfied; this was an unexpected gain.

Qin Ming did not hesitate. He picked up the nearly immortal object and threw it from the bottom of the pit where the light was bright to the slope.

Obviously, these foreign disciples had already negotiated and did not fight. They were ready to return to the ground to "discuss" their affiliation. In this place with bright skylight, they were unsure.

Furthermore, this small group of people are almost all representatives of the core disciples, so there is no need to fight to the death here.

"By the way, Tang Xumi, Jiang Shengyu and others promised me that they would give me a top-level martial arts technique after they get out. Tell them not to forget it." Qin Ming shouted from behind.

At this moment, who cares about him? Having obtained the thing close to immortality, these non-Buddhist disciples quickly rushed upwards.

Unexpectedly, a figure with fluttering sleeves appeared, holding a crystal bamboo stick, blocking their way on the slope. It was Li Qingxu, who came down in person.

"Brother Tang..."

"Senior Brother Hu Tingwen!"

The foreign disciples immediately shouted and called for help.

Li Qingxu was as fast as lightning. The purple bamboo stick he held absorbed the light from the outer world without being completely destroyed. It was refined into a treasure by his master and could briefly break the light from the sky.

With a bang, Li Qingxu swung his stick down, and a foreign disciple flew more than ten meters away, unable to stop him at all.

"Hand it over!" He spoke coldly, and rushed over like a flash of lightning, ready to intercept the immortal thing.

At the bottom of the slope, Qin Ming took off the big bow, put the special arrow feathers made of blue jade iron on the bowstring, poured a large amount of skylight into it, and then shot it out.

puff!
Li Qingxu's palms were stained with blood, and the blue arrow feathers cut through his flesh, leaving a deep bloody wound. His movements suddenly paused, and two cold rays of electricity shot out of his eyes.

Qin Ming thought to himself that as a core disciple, Li Qingxu was too strong, far beyond the comparison of other disciples. The special arrow feathers did not hit his body, nor did they penetrate his palm.

"Junior brother, you keep it first!" The disciple holding the near-immortal object threw it back with a clang and dropped it near Qin Ming.

Li Qingxu was furious. He rushed over and hit the man with a stick, sending him flying more than 20 meters away, breaking his bones and tendons and injuring him severely.

"Li Qingxu, you didn't give up after being injured and didn't leave!" Tang Xumi, Jiang Shengyu, Hu Tingwen and others appeared and entered the tiankeng together.

At this moment, all the disciples appeared at the edge of the giant pit. They knew that the ownership of the near-immortal thing would soon be decided.

When Qin Ming saw some familiar faces, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he exerted force suddenly, throwing the Bagua furnace towards Zheng Maoze.

The sacred object, which was emitting auspicious clouds and steaming with fairy light, fell in front of him with a clang. Zheng Maoze's pupils contracted. Was this a blessing or a curse? !
