Night without Borders

Chapter 131 Migratory Birds from Afar
The Light-Chasing City has existed for a long time and has a mottled sense of time. There are four levels of fire springs in the city. When the early night comes, it can be artificially controlled to make the whole city as bright as day.

"Uncle Meng, it's very lively over there. Many people are placing bets and a lot of odds have been opened." Qin Ming stopped, feeling quite envious.

He is now wealthy, and his deceased opponents, such as Wang Nianzhu, Qi Huai'en, Ge Qianxun and others, generously gave him their money after their death.

"Gambling is a bad habit and must be quit." Meng Xinghai said seriously.

Qin Ming explained: "I will be traveling far away to study, and I want to buy a yard in a corresponding giant city to facilitate my practice."

Meng Xinghai said, "In a truly influential city, you can see white elephants with four tusks on the streets, blue phoenixes flying through the sky, and there are abundant natural resources and talented people. The housing prices in such places are much higher than you think. The little money you have is not enough to buy half a room, let alone a house with a yard."

Qin Ming realized that he was still very poor.

After being educated, he thought about it and felt that the value of the pledge was not great. Most of the gold was kept in the City Lord's Mansion, and he did not have much on him.

In the back, Li Qingyun smiled and whispered, "Are these odds reliable?"

"With your profound Taoism skills, are you still afraid that they will default on their debt? I'm not afraid anyway." Meng Xinghai responded.

No one knows Qin Ming's background better than them. It's a sure win, so why not join in? The two smiled at each other.

As for the young man in front, he only had 10 to 20 pieces of gold coins on him. What was he mixing with? The habit of gambling should not be indulged. It should be punished when necessary.

Qin Ming stopped and said, "Uncle Meng, we've lost a lot. Look over there, Zhuguang City is selling tickets. Otherwise, you won't be able to watch the game. The prices are ridiculously high!"

He finally understood why he could hear people discussing the battle between the two cities whenever he walked down the street. Even passers-by were talking about the battle between the two cities. It was obvious that someone was fanning the flames and deliberately hyping it up.

Meng Xinghai was very calm and said, "It's okay. Among these profits, there is a portion of our Chixia City."

Qin Ming was lost in thought, a fight, business was everywhere!

The martial arts arena in Zhuguang City is very large, and the ground is paved with the hardest black gold stone.

There is a high platform and a VIP room here. The seat prices are surprisingly high, but the tickets have already been sold out.

After Qin Ming entered, he looked around. In the ordinary viewing area, people in the front had seats, but those in the back could only stand. The crowd was completely black and filled the area.

"Someone recently said that the 'number one' in our Zhuguang City is the real 'Candlelight'. If it were in other cities, they would be beaten and unable to compete with the bright moon. Sigh, I feel really bad when I hear that."

"Well, we can only compete with Chixia City. I guess it's like a sleeping dragon meeting a young phoenix. Let's see if there will be any surprises."

Qin Ming stood there with an expressionless face. His opponent hadn't left the field yet, but this group of spectators had already "taken action". Their words were really mean.

He saw a woman in black in the VIP seats. She had a graceful and slender figure, like a fairy lotus rooted in the mortal world. She sat there quietly with an otherworldly charm.

Although her appearance had changed, Qin Ming could still guess that she should be Li Qingyue.

If outsiders want to pay a price to read the secret book brought out from the depths of the Night Fog World, they normally have to go to a foreign land.

Li Qingyue now possesses something close to immortality, and her status and position have been greatly improved, surpassing other core disciples. If she wants to see it, she can take it with her.

By chance, Fangwai Pure Land arranged an opportunity for her to go to a spiritual pool with a strong fairy charm to bathe and improve her physique. She passed by this place and met her old friend with a book.

Qin Ming also wanted to take this opportunity to pass on to her the two scriptures he obtained from the Near-Immortal Object and the metal scraps of paper.

……

The "number one" of Zhuguang City entered the martial arts arena. He was half a head taller than ordinary people, with a strong and sturdy figure, three-dimensional facial features, and bright eyes, as if flowing with a faint glow of fire.

"Hey, it's not Jiang Hong, who is this? I haven't seen him before."

Many people were surprised. They thought it was Jiang Hong, the so-called genius in the city. But it turned out that the “number one” chosen by the city lord was not him?

"I'm Chen Yuan." The young man who entered introduced himself. There was a heroic look in his eyes and eyebrows. He was wearing red gold armor and had an extraordinary temperament.

Some people outside the venue immediately understood that these were the "migratory birds" during the exam period. The top students who temporarily "migrated" from other cities chose to come to a city with few competitors in order to obtain the title of "first".

Suddenly, many people's eyes lit up. This was quite interesting. This might very well be the "second" or "third" one from a certain huge city.

Obviously, Chen Yuan, the "migrant bird" during the exam period, is definitely much stronger than Jiang Hong from this city!

"You really like walking on the edge of the red line." Meng Xinghai looked unfriendly as he looked at the middle-aged man next to him who looked quite fairy-like.

Qi Daoming smiled: "He is not an alien, but a 'migrant bird' born eight times. It's just a small fight. The competition between our two cities will share the benefits equally, which is a win-win situation."

Meng Xinghai glanced at him and said, "He can step into the outer saint realm at any time. The light of heaven is overflowing."

Qi Daoming smiled and said, "Brother Meng, since you care so much about this, you must be betting heavily on the odds, right? Then I am really looking forward to it."

Meng Xinghai said: "You should prepare the 'fallen fruits'. I heard that the quality is good this year. Each one is crystal clear and glittering with five-colored divine light."

The mysterious ancient tree rooted in the Tianguang Pond, and the tender branches and buds that just grew out in early spring, if placed in the outside world, would be extremely precious five-colored spiritual branches.

The fruits it bears are of astonishing value without even thinking about it!
Now, the old trees rooted in Tianguang Pond have just bloomed and borne fruit. They are far from mature and it is not yet the season for picking.

Although the fruits are densely packed on the branches, they are constantly impacted by the sunlight and most of them cannot hang on and fall to the ground prematurely. This is the origin of "fruit drop".

After the two young men in the field introduced themselves, they immediately started fighting without any unnecessary words.

The two men ran as fast as lightning, collided quickly and then separated.

Qin Ming had even killed some outside saints, so he was naturally not afraid of the young man in front of him, but he was restrained in his fighting. If he immediately hit Chen Yuan, who had been reborn eight times, it would probably alert the enemy, and some people in the Cui family would become even more restless.

A faint golden glow flowed on his body, which was the golden light shield he practiced. According to the spiritual resonance between Qin Ming and the ancient book, there was a woman who practiced the golden light to be thicker than the city wall, and when she stood in the middle of it, she seemed to be invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

Chen Yuan was actually very strong. He had been reborn eight times and had a strength of over 6,000 kilograms. At the same time, heavenly light overflowed from his body surface, with a faint glow of fire.

He rushed forward wildly, trampling the black gold stone ground that was as hard as iron and causing cracks to appear. Thousands of pounds of strength made him look like a giant beast.

His Sky Light Energy was like fire, emerging a little from the surface of his body, making each strand of his hair look crystal clear and glow with a fiery red luster.

With a bang, he punched forward, and there was actually light of lightning and fire in the void, which was an astonishing sight.

Qin Ming's face was serious. This Chen Yuan was indeed very powerful. If he could really be promoted to the Outer Saint realm, he would be much stronger than many people he had killed in Luofu Mountain.

As Meng Xinghai said, geniuses disdain to be golden armor guards. Of course, a few people are invited to help.

"The rare thunder and fire skills, coupled with eight rebirths, really make him worthy of being the first in a city." This was Qin Ming's evaluation of him.

With a bang, he reached out and grabbed the fist that was glowing with lightning and fire.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a dull thunder in the void.

The golden light on Qin Ming's hand was extremely dense, and he had practiced the Golden Light Shield technique to such an extent, which was rare at this stage of freshman life.

Chen Yuan's thunder and fire power could actually be released slightly, but it could not penetrate the layer of golden light.

Many cracks appeared on the black gold stone ground beneath his feet, and then it exploded, and thunder, fire and light burst out from under his feet.

"He blocked the thunder and fire energy. Is he practicing a kind of body protection technique? On the surface, it doesn't look like the technique in the silk book, but it's hard to say what's inside."

"His power is too great!"

At this time, in the VIP room, Cui He and Cui Shuning were talking and watching Qin Ming's performance closely.

Both of them looked very serious and agreed that Qin Ming's performance after embarking on a new life was definitely at the extraordinary level, or even stronger.

This made the two of them feel complicated. Cui Chongxuan, who was trained with great emphasis at home, was now only transforming into an extraordinary person by relying on the Six Imperial Heart Sutra.

Qin Ming and Chen Yuan fought quickly. Their palms filled with golden skylight and fists flowing with thunder and fire kept colliding, making a deafening sound. The huge training ground seemed to be shaking slightly.

Li Qingyue smiled. She knew that Qin Ming was restraining himself. Otherwise, how could there be any suspense?
However, the spectators around were all excited, because this was a performance that could only be achieved by the "first" in a mega city.

It would be fine if the "migratory birds" who came here for the big exam were powerful, but the young man from Chixia City was also so powerful that he could compete with them.

In the martial arts arena, the thunder, fire and skylight power in Chen Yuan's fist became more and more amazing, emitting bursts of thunder.

However, Qin Ming's golden light shield had been trained to a higher level. His left fist and right palm were shining with golden light, and he was able to withstand the attack.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he noticed that there was a fluctuation of consciousness between Chen Yuan's eyebrows.

Is this a person who is advancing on two paths at the same time? Qin Ming realized that Qi Daoming really found a powerful person and wanted to win Meng Xinghai's Chixia City.

He didn't want to continue fighting, so he suddenly sped up, and with a bang, he pushed away the opponent's fist with one palm, and then used his other fist to hit the opponent at high speed.

Obviously, Chen Yuan's consciousness was still far from pure yang, and it conflicted with the thunder, fire and sky light power, and they could not erupt at the same time. When he quietly changed his attack method, he was "accidentally" hit and was hit by two consecutive punches, and the whole person flew out.

“It’s so intense and exciting!”

"This fight should be on the front page of the evening paper!" someone shouted.

All the spectators clenched their fists, extremely excited.

Those who are in the know are speechless, feeling that this is a battle that should have ended long ago.

Qin Ming ignored the cheers around him and left.

Meng Xinghai smiled and said, "Today's harvest is good. Hey, Qi Daoming, your face looks a little stiff. Did you gamble a lot? A little gambling can make you happy, don't be too greedy."

"Child..." Outside the martial arts arena, an old man smiled and waved at Qin Ming with a kind look on his face.

Qin Ming's hair stood on end. That was the Fifth Master of the Cui family. The old guy who had induced him to practice silk book in those days actually came in person. This was an extremely dangerous moment.

A dark fog filled the air, and a figure silently approached Cui Laowu. Li Qingyun appeared, hugged Cui Laowu's neck, and said, "Old brother, it's been a long time since we last met. Let's go and have a drink."

"I..." The fifth master of the Cui family was shocked. He didn't even know that someone was approaching him. His whole body was tense and someone was holding his neck. He couldn't move and was actually being taken hostage.

Not far away, Cui He and Cui Shuning were horrified. That was the fifth master of the Cui family, who was extremely powerful, but he was pinched by the armpits and couldn't struggle.

The two of them got goosebumps and were really scared, so they turned around and left.

"Here, I have brought you the entire scripture."

In a quiet room, Li Qingyue smiled, as brilliant and beautiful as the morning glow breaking through the clouds, with her long black hair flowing with a crystal luster and a faint fairy mist lingering around her body.

This book is not thin. Qin Ming realized that he had underestimated it earlier after just flipping through a dozen pages. It contains specific methods on how to improve oneself.

"And this..." Li Qingyue placed some metal pieces on the table and said, "The Overlord Spear was too conspicuous, so I dismantled it and took out the jade iron inside."

Then she continued, "I only got two pieces of 'strange gold' that were similar in material to the Bagua furnace."

Qin Ming looked at her and smiled, "I have a gift for you too."
