Night without Borders

Chapter 134 Very Realistic

In the living room, Meng Xinghai gently struck a set of hanging bronze chimes, producing clear and pleasant sounds.

He said, "The Cui family cares a lot about face, so this will be much easier."

"Is there anything going on here?" Qin Ming asked.

Meng Xinghai said, "You've won more than a dozen games in a row. Logically, the main page of the evening newspaper should have reported it, but the Cui family gave a heads-up and suppressed it."

The Cui family hopes that he will "keep a low profile" and does not want him to return to people's attention, otherwise it will easily remind people of the past.

Meng Xinghai said: "The Cui family values ​​respectability. They gave up on you earlier. If you continue to advance triumphantly, won't that embarrass them?"

Qin Ming was also somewhat helpless. He couldn't just stay dormant for the sake of Cui family's reputation. Why would he never be able to rise again?
Meng Xinghai smiled and said, "I called an acquaintance from the Night News, so when you won the 15th game, I asked them to mention it to test Cui He and others' reactions. According to the feedback, the effect was good."

Qin Ming immediately understood that Lao Meng was a "rhythm master", no wonder he liked to play bronze chimes, chimes, etc.

At the same time, he also lamented that the evening paper was really good and too "commercialized". If Meng Xinghai hadn't said hello, his winning streak would not have been reported in the newspapers no matter how many games he won.

Moreover, this evening report only mentioned the cities of Chixia, Jinxi, etc., and his name was replaced by "some people".

However, he felt that this was not bad. Being too high-profile was not a good thing, and he had to thank the Cui family for helping to suppress it.

Meng Xinghai said: "Recently, I have studied it. Some large sects and institutions of higher learning have set rules a long time ago. The 'first' of different cities will compete. As long as you win 20 games in a row, you can report to them and pass some tests to become a core disciple."

This happened a long time ago and many people have long forgotten it.

Because those tests are quite difficult, and obtaining this qualification does not mean much.

Meng Xinghai felt that these were not a problem for Qin Ming, and winning twenty games in a row recently would be enough.

In this case, after being "instructed" by him, Cui He and others would most likely rush to arrange experts to stop Qin Ming from winning streak. At that time, it would be fine for the opponent to compete with them, but they would need to use rare scriptures as a prize.

"It would be even better if I could get the 'Sutra of the World'. It could extend my life by up to half a life, and it can be called a priceless secret book." Although the hope was slim, Meng Xinghai still wanted to give it a try.

The reason why the ancestor of the Cui family lived so long was because he practiced the "Yi Mu Chang Qing Zhu Shi Jing".

Afterwards, Qin Ming quickly won four fights, and now he has won nineteen games in a row.

Then he had some free time, waiting for Lao Meng's arrangements.

"The Destiny-Changing Sutra is truly extraordinary and unique." After Qin Ming calmed down, he studied the ancient scripture from the depths of the night fog world.

On the day Li Qingyue brought the secret book to him, Qin Ming had already studied it seriously, but there were still many things in it that required him to continue to ponder.

The Book of Changing Destiny is a strange book. It contains many dangerous attempts. In order to prolong life and strengthen the foundation, various hypotheses that seem feasible but can easily lead to death are proposed.

He believed that even the person who created this sutra had not tried all those outrageous methods, but he read it with great interest and pondered deeply.

The book mentions that you can go find the "evil cave", and if you enter it, your life span will be shortened by fifty years. However, if you can survive it, your body will be baptized in some way, thus transforming, and you may be able to extend your life by sixty years.

When Qin Ming saw this passage, he didn't know how to comment on it. How was these sixty years calculated? Can it stand the test of time?
Not to mention the result of complete failure, even if it succeeds, what if it only extends your life by 30 years?
Qin Ming didn't dare to believe in some of the specific methods in this book for fear of being cheated.

There are some other absurd methods like this. The book mentions that one can withstand the strike of thunder and fire with purple clouds. As long as one survives, his physical condition will definitely improve.

After watching this, he was completely speechless.

Afterwards, he studied the next paragraph, saying that if one sees a "dragon sucking water", that is, a slender tornado that reaches from the clouds to the lake or sea, one can take the "dragon blood" to strengthen oneself.

This phenomenon does not contain the blood of a real dragon, but a rare substance of inestimable value in the lake and sea.

"They will be swept up into the sky at any time and die miserably. Moreover, the article also mentioned that not every time a dragon sucks water will there be 'dragon blood'."

Although Qin Ming suspected that the author had not verified all those methods, he was very interested because he saw some ideas.

He has been reborn six times and has three final chances to improve his physical fitness.

The freshman stage is the period of fastest progress on this path.

Once you enter the outer saint realm, it becomes very difficult to break through. Many people take this path, and as time goes by, after reaching the critical point, it takes several years or even decades to reach a small step, which is really despairing.

Qin Ming read the Book of Changing Fate carefully and saw the various dangerous attempts in it. He felt that it might be able to be used to break through!
Perhaps, with these stimulating means, the subsequent great realms such as outer saint and spiritual field will not be so difficult to reach.

However, the premise is just as the author of the strange book said: As long as you don’t die…

Such weird words discourage many people from reading. If they die, the author will not jump out of the coffin to help prolong their lives.

Of course, there are many valuable chapters in this book. Although they are obscure and difficult to practice, Qin Ming has made it all the way through and mastered most of them.

After all, he even understood the outline of the first three pages.

Qin Ming believes that the exercises practiced by ancient people are somewhat different from those practiced by modern people, so most people today are not suitable for the exercise routes in this book.

However, he was able to navigate those routes with his integrated Tianguang energy, and coupled with his spiritual wisdom and spiritual consciousness, the three forces combined together made him feel like a fish in water.

"The ancients paid great attention to the changes of yin and yang, and that yin and yang can be reversed. This scripture starts from this point. Those specific methods and seemingly absurd ways of committing suicide all have this true meaning, seeking survival in a deadly situation and extending the exhausted lifespan."

Qin Ming had some realization. He breathed in the spiritual essence and integrated his consciousness and divine wisdom into the Heavenly Light Energy, treating it as seeds and planting them in the soil of his physical body. They were the yin and yang of each other, and were quite in line with the principles of heaven and earth.

"Alas, there are only three chances left to improve my physical body in the new stage." Qin Ming felt a little melancholy.

He hoped that once he reached the Outer Saint realm, the road would not be too difficult and he would have to find other ways to keep breaking through as quickly as possible.

Afterwards, Qin Ming tested the ability he gained after his sixth rebirth many times and was quite satisfied.

Three days later, Meng Xinghai called him and said, "Let's go to the giant city for a walk."

"This doesn't fit Uncle Meng's style." Qin Ming said with a smile.

Meng Xinghai never took him to Jucheng to compete with others. First, the people there thought that the young genius from a remote place was not qualified. Second, Meng Xinghai avoided Qin Ming on purpose, not wanting him to be too high-profile. In addition, with the Cui family's "cooperation", they put pressure on the Night News to not report on him. Therefore, Qin Ming has not entered the vision of more people.

Meng Xinghai smiled and said, "This is to stimulate Cui He. We need to urge him to make arrangements as soon as possible, but he needs to follow our pace."

The place he wanted to take Qin Ming to was Jinrui City, where there was a young extraordinary man named Cao Wuji.

"Uncle Meng, you won't let me fight against this strange man, right?" Qin Ming asked.

"There's no need." Meng Xinghai shook his head.

He went on to say: "There must be extraordinary people in the ancestral temples of major sects or higher education institutions. If Cao Wuji is exposed so early, he will be the focus of attention in the future."

At this stage, Cao Wuji will definitely attract the attention of many Taoist sects and extend olive branches to him. Once he makes a choice, everything will change.

Jinrui City has a heavy sense of history. It is one of the earliest giant cities built.

It is said that during the great pioneering period, auspicious scenes appeared here, and the mountains and rivers were dyed with brocade colors.

"Cao Wuji, he actually had the strength of a thousand pounds when he was just a newborn. That's really extraordinary. No wonder so many sects wanted to recruit him." Meng Xinghai was a little surprised when he heard the news.

If the strength of both arms approaches a thousand kilograms, one is already considered an extraordinary person. Only with this strength can one be reborn nine times. Others are limited to seven or eight times.

Soon, Qin Ming and Meng Xinghai learned that in addition to the Five Elements Palace, Shenzhao Academy, and Wenxin Academy, there were some other larger inheritances that had arrived and wanted to take Cao Wuji away, such as the Chunyang Palace and the Origin Academy, which were all famous places, renowned throughout the Night Fog World.

However, sects like Liuyu, Yuqing and Qingtian are still relatively reserved, and no one has appeared yet.

Meng Xinghai said: "Tomorrow, there will be a gathering for you young people in the Purple Bamboo Forest by the Jinrui River. You can go and take a look."

Jinrui River runs through the city and there are many scenic spots along the river.

"Legend has it that during the Great Reclamation Period, a divine object was unearthed in this purple bamboo forest and became the treasure of a certain esoteric religion."

The next day, Qin Ming came here and immediately heard someone explaining the past of this bamboo forest, which turned out to be of great significance.

He was not the only outsider. Many geniuses from other cities came here after hearing that Chunyang Palace, Origin Academy, and Five Elements Palace were selecting disciples here.

When the spring breeze blows, the purple bamboo forest rustles, flowing with soft purple light, and the fire spring passes through the forest. The scenery here is picturesque.

Qin Ming looked at the geniuses from different big cities, and they were indeed extraordinary.

Not long after, he met Cao Wuji, a man with bright eyes, sharp eyebrows, and quite handsome appearance, with an outstanding temperament.

Cao Wuji stood in the purple bamboo forest and had a pleasant conversation with the people from Chunyang Palace and Shenzhao Academy.

There is no doubt that he is now a prominent figure, and many major sects want to recruit him, so he is surrounded by people wherever he goes.

However, the Taoist sects he wanted to visit the most were Qingtian and Liuyu, but no one came.

Some young men came forward to greet him. No matter what, as long as such an extraordinary person did not die young, he would definitely become famous in the future.

"What's your name, brother? Where are you from?" Someone greeted Qin Ming with a smile, ready to expand his network. After all, most of those who dared to come here were geniuses from the giant city who wanted to enter Chunyang Palace, Origin Academy, etc. early.

"Chixia City, Qin..." Qin Ming responded.

"I've heard a lot about you!" The young man opposite clasped his fists. This was really perfunctory, because as soon as he heard the word Chixia, he judged that this did not belong to the giant city. Therefore, he politely left without waiting for him to finish his name.

"Brother, where are you from and what's your name?" A purple-dressed girl came over with a sweet smile to say hello. It was obvious that she was also trying to develop her network, as there were no mediocre people at the scene.

"Chixia City, Qin Ming."

This time the purple-clothed girl did not interrupt him, but started chatting with him enthusiastically.

Qin Ming was quite surprised. Didn’t she come here to meet a potential genius who could make great achievements in the future?
A girl in white came over. She was very pretty and knew the girl in purple. She asked with a puzzled look, "Who is this senior brother..."

"He comes from the giant city of Chixia and is the number one person there..." the purple-clothed girl introduced enthusiastically.

"Uh, you remembered it wrong. Qixia City is the big city, and Chixia City is in a very remote area." The girl in white whispered to her.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

After expressing their apologies, the two girls also made excuses to leave.

Qin Ming sighed, why is it that at such an innocent age, the best period of life, the reality is like this?
The young extraordinary man Cao Wuji had the most people around him, and it was impossible to squeeze through. They surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Someone from the Yuqing lineage has arrived!"

People were shocked that someone from this ancient Taoist sect actually showed up, probably also coming for Cao Wuji.

In the past, they had been closed off from the world and had not recruited disciples on a large scale, but they had never stopped selecting the most outstanding talents.

Therefore, anyone from the Yuqing system who can appear here must be of extraordinary status.

The people from the Yuqing lineage were led by a young woman. She was dazzling and walked lightly, like a person in a painting.

"Senior Sister, I have longed for the Yuqing lineage for a long time!" Many people around wanted to learn the legendary Yuqing power, and their eyes were extremely eager.

"Okay, you sign up and I'll register. Then you just need to pass the test." The leading woman said with a smile.

"Senior Sister, could you be the famous young alien from two years ago? You were the one who defeated masters from various cities, routed disciples from outside the sect, and suppressed the potential seeds of the secret sect. I have seen your portrait. Hey... it's really you!" someone exclaimed.

The leading woman smiled slightly and did not respond. She walked towards Cao Wuji.

When she passed by Qin Ming not far away, she glanced at him, and then looked at him several times with a strange look on her face, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I'll take a day off today, this is the only chapter I'll write. It's an old problem, I don't have any drafts saved, and I always have to update late at night, a vicious cycle. I'll make some adjustments today, thank you all!
