Night without Borders

Chapter 195 Laughing
The small courtyard in the bamboo forest and the elegant house.

On the Huanghuali wood table, there is a small teapot, emitting a faint fragrance, which is just right for the Purple-eyed Crow. In its "hand" it holds a warm teacup, only an inch high, and is sipping it.

There was an exquisite little armchair on the table. It sat lazily on it and said, "Without the day gold and the secret book, if it were me, I would not end up like this anyway."

When Ling Yu heard it mention Daytime Gold, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There was no heaviness in his arms, and dozens of Daytime Gold seemed to be gone.

Then, he groaned, his face grim, and said, "I only have one gold ticket left!"

Master Wu sipped his tea and said, "This... is quite particular. A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way."

Tang Jin was tall, not shorter than Ling Yu, with straight and slender legs. She walked a few steps in the room with a light and graceful posture.

"Let's get in touch with him later!" She was actually a little curious about the young man who came out of the Black and White Mountains.

Even if it was a sneak attack, it was not something that an ordinary person could do to make Ling Yu faint so cleanly and efficiently.

At the same time, she was very dissatisfied with Ling Yu. If she was on the battlefield, fighting for life and death in the third Jedi that was about to be opened, could she survive?

……

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Brother Chuanzi, look at this grass, green bamboo, and golden vine tree. We have paid the price and fine. Can you repair it for us as soon as possible?"

"You'd better call me by my full name." Qian Chuan said. He always felt that it was unlucky for the other party to call him Qian Chuanzi.

But he couldn't turn against them because these two were "living ancestors" and they had beaten Xin Youdao and Ling Yu one after another. If this were to get out, it would definitely be a huge incident!
For a moment, he was so impulsive that he wanted to sell this news that would shock Kunling City for a good price!
But he held back again. Someone had come to see him, so he shouldn't talk nonsense.

He thought that he should restrain himself for the time being.

Now he didn't dare to show a bad face to the two of them. He was very polite and smiling, because these two freshmen were really scary and had the ability to completely "subvert" all the freshmen in this class.

"The dead dragon carp has not been compensated yet..." he reminded in a low voice.

Xiao Wu said, "This should be spirit flesh. If we eat it all in a while, won't it be gone? Besides, Xin Youdao killed him with lightning. You should ask him for compensation."

Qian Chuan nodded, and then whispered: "If you really want to fish for food, it's not impossible. Wait until there's no one around."

Wu Yaozu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll invite you to eat grilled fish some other day, or you can just take two away now."

"I dare not eat it!" Qian Chuan left quickly.

"Comfortable, dragon carp and wine, happiness is always there!" Qin Ming leaned back on a lounge chair by the lake, holding a wine glass in one hand and roasted dragon carp in the other.

Xiao Wu had repaired the grill and found more than a dozen jars of fine wine in Xin Youdao's storage room. The two of them enjoyed a soul and meat dinner by the lake.

The next day, the two of them took the initiative to pay the tuition fees, and got their student IDs, library cards, etc., all completed, and then they headed straight for their destination.

Why did Qin Ming enter Shanhe Academy? Borrow a book!
The environment in this area is excellent, with rare tree species everywhere. The fragrant pandan trees are fragrant, and the silver maple trees drop silver petals all over the sky.

The nine-story library rises from the ground and is very magnificent. It is located on the shore of a lake formed by a fire spring. It has lush vegetation and is guarded by experts.

"What a joke, you want a list of your great achievements as soon as you open your mouth. Freshmen like you are always so ambitious, building your feet on unrealistic buildings. You don't know the extent of your talents. Can you comprehend anything? Do you have any contribution value?!" A middle-aged woman who still has charm scolded Xiao Wu.

Wu Yaozu felt aggrieved and thought, I'm just borrowing a book, if it works then it's fine, if not then forget it, why are you scolding me!

Qin Ming said, "We know the rules, and we pay for reading."

"This way!" The middle-aged woman pointed the way and took them to a very quiet area.

Xiao Wu followed behind her and couldn't help but make a dragon claw hand gesture. He was still young at heart.

The beautiful middle-aged woman didn't even turn her head and said, "My daughter is already at the peak of the second realm, and you still dare to play tricks on me?"

Wu Yaozu quickly lowered his head and said, "Senior, I was wrong."

This is a large quiet room with sunstones in crystal lamps, which allows plenty of light here, making it ideal for reading, but there are not many people here.

"It's so expensive!" Qin Ming took a deep breath and found a book that was borrowed the most by freshmen. It was very thin, only thirteen pages, and cost thirteen day golds, one day gold for each page.

In Chixia City, three daytime gold coins are barely enough to provide food and clothing for a family of three for a year, but in Kunling City where prices are rising, twelve coins are needed.

Before opening the volume, he had to perform a certain ritual and swear not to reveal it.

Afterwards, Qin Ming studied it carefully and turned the pages slowly. One page was enough to provide him with food for a month.

He felt strong emotions in this book, all left by the newborns. He blocked them out and did not need their insights.

Moreover, most of them are "complaints", saying that the book is too expensive, but some people also lament that this is the book with the best value for money and is very cheap.

Qin Ming read it and pondered it carefully. This was the result of the hard work of a senior master, and it sorted out various precautions for the first stage of the new life.

He reflected on himself and found that there was no such problem.

Objectively speaking, this book is of great value to many new students.

Qin Ming pondered silently. The forward-looking "outlook" on the last page of the book and some unverifiable "speculations" made him a little dazed.

The ninth rebirth can only be brought about by extraordinary people, and many Taoist sects and celebrities are rather "superstitious".

In this area, they are willing to choose the "Immortal Butterfly Sutra" which foretells immortality and rebirth.

This made Qin Ming wonder if the senior author of the book was also quite "superstitious" and also believed in this beautiful "sustainability", saying that it would greatly promote the last rebirth.

Moreover, the old senior also gave examples, saying that many great figures in history made this choice and achieved major breakthroughs during their ninth rebirth.

"The Tathagata of this time chose the Golden Cicada Sutra. The golden cicada breaks out of its shell, tears apart its old body, and is reborn after experiencing catastrophes. It is full of Zen meaning."

"Qingtian's ninth re-training was the Dragon and Snake Sutra, which involved changing from a snake to a dragon, with blood all over his body and his body torn to pieces. He was reborn from the dead in a desperate situation, and his strength was fierce."

……

Qin Ming read it again. The old senior mentioned that the predecessors made this choice because they hoped that the ninth rebirth would be violent enough to lead to the non-existent tenth rebirth.

Of course, everyone failed.

Moreover, the ancestors of all generations have verified that the tenth rebirth is a false goal, and even if it exists, it is included in the ninth.

Because, the achievements that aliens with different backgrounds achieved in the ninth time were very different.

"That is to say, the ninth rebirth includes everything. If a person's talent is terrifying enough and his foundation surpasses that of the ancestors, the rewards of the last rebirth will also be amazing."

Qin Ming closed the book, thought about it carefully, and decided to borrow some related skills. He found that Xiao Wu was studying the book "Blood and Flesh Soul Locking Technique". It seemed that he was studying it in a targeted way to perfect the way of turning into a rainbow.

He went to ask the beautiful middle-aged woman if she had the "Immortal Butterfly Sutra" and the "Dragon and Snake Sutra".

At this moment, Zhao Minghui looked at him differently. Was the young man in front of him an extraordinary person, or did he want to lay the foundation for the first realm with extraordinary achievements?

Qin Ming used all his strength to practice the book "Harmony with the World" which was supplemented by Lu Zizai. Except for Master Wu who could see his abnormality with his mysterious purple eyes, no one else could see through it.

Zhao Minghui said: "All these extraordinary skills you mentioned are available in Kunling City, and our Shanhe Academy also has no less than two, but... they are very expensive."

Qin Ming was surprised. It was not uncommon for Shanhe Academy to have some extraordinary achievements, but to have two in the same field meant that the foundation was indeed very solid.

He said, "I want to take a look."

Zhao Minghui informed that the only copy available for public borrowing was "The Golden Cicada Sutra".

Qin Ming's eyes were burning. Xiang Yiwu, the abandoned disciple of Tathagata whom he met in Luofu Fairy Mountain, wanted to create a new method. It seemed that he was practicing the "Golden Cicada Sutra". He would use it as a foundation to build the future path and method.

However, when he saw the price, he almost bit his tongue. One chapter cost two hundred gold coins. How many chapters were there in a book of miracles? The price would eventually go up in the air!

At the very least, he has seen dozens of articles here, not counting the ones that have been borrowed out.

"A great achievement is priceless!" said Zhao Minghui.

"It is indeed a priceless book." Qin Ming deeply felt that the scriptures are power and gold. He found himself too poor.

Zhao Minghui smiled and reminded, "Actually, this is not the way to learn Qigong. Who would spend so much money to read it? Go find a teacher who is suitable for you. If they like you, I will teach you for free."

"Ah?" Qin Ming was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected turn of events and immediately thanked her.

Zhao Minghui frowned as if he remembered something and said, "However, with the passing of some predecessors, the old man who is most proficient in the Golden Cicada Sutra has completely become a money-grubber. In order to support his descendant who entered the Yang Earth and wanted to compete for the immortal seed, his mind is not so pure. Although there are other people who have also practiced this sutra, none of them have studied it as thoroughly as he has."

"Are the others far behind him?" Qin Ming asked. Actually, he didn't care. As long as he was given the scriptures, he could practice on his own without anyone teaching him.

Zhao Minghui said: "Well, there is indeed a gap, because Wu Chengwang not only mastered the original Golden Cicada Sutra, but also went to a tomb when he was young and dug out a mutated version of the Golden Cicada Sutra. Combining the two, he researched out a lot of new things."

Qin Ming asked carefully: "This...if I go to see Senior Wu, do you think he will charge me?"

Zhao Minghui sighed, "Of course he will. For the sake of his descendant who is close to immortality, he doesn't care about his face anymore."

After Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu left the library, they asked people about Wu Chengwang's residence.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Although the Golden Cicada Sutra is wonderful and can prolong life and bring life from death, if you go to learn from Wu Bapi, he will suck your blood. You won't even be able to learn half of the sutra. The price is sky-high!"

Some people kindly advise you not to go there and go bankrupt.

Because even the young men from rich families would be scared when they saw Wu Chengwang, and feel that they did not have enough money to spend.

Wu Yaozu said: "Brother, I also think that such an old man should not be approached."

"Xiao Wu, wait for me outside." Qin Ming still wanted to give it a try. Of course, he took out all the extra gold he had and gave it to Wu Yaozu. He only took 300 gold with him.

Because, he heard, this was the lowest price for door-to-door service.

He was afraid that if he brought too much money, he would be slaughtered by that old man.

In the end, Qin Ming came alone.

In this courtyard, exotic flowers are in full bloom, medicinal herbs are everywhere, and the scenery is very beautiful. The old man Wu Chengwang has a good quality of life, and the whole garden is filled with fragrance.

"Haha, young man, if you want to live forever, you've come to the right place. This variant version of the Golden Cicada Sutra is unique to Kunling City. If you are just starting out on your new life, using it as your main cultivation technique will lay the foundation for immortality."

Wu Chengwang has a head full of silver hair and a ruddy complexion. He is very kind, and it is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance.

"Senior, I don't know about the tuition fee..." Qin Ming didn't want to argue with him. He wanted to be simple and direct. If something could be solved with daytime gold, then he would move forward with it immediately.

Wu Chengwang smiled and said, "Well, I nearly died when I went to the tomb. I have spent my whole life studying the mutated version of the Golden Cicada Sutra. This is the fruit of my hard work. The cost is a bit expensive. Each study and guidance starts at 300 gold coins."

As he spoke, he took out a few pages of paper and asked Qin Ming if he wanted to learn from him immediately.

Qin Ming frowned. These were a few newly copied pages, prepared to be given to new disciples.

"I want to learn real Kung Fu from the seniors!" he said seriously.

Wu Chengwang was surprised and asked, "Oh, how do you understand real kung fu? What I am teaching now is unique skills."

Qin Ming said: "I want to see your manuscripts, notes, and journals. I think these things are the fruits of your hard work!"

Wu Chengwang was startled, then laughed and said, "Haha, young man, are you afraid that I won't teach you the real thing? Well, no problem. But the cost will be more expensive."

"How much daytime gold?" Qin Ming asked.

"I'll show you the manuscript. It'll cost you 600 yuan for each instruction." Wu Chengwang said kindly.

"It's too expensive. I... will go get some daytime gold!" Qin Ming finally agreed and said, "Can you let me see a page first?"

"That won't work. Pay the tuition first and see." Wu Chengwang shook his head with a smile.

"Okay!" Qin Ming turned and left.

"Brother, do you really want to be cheated by that old man?" Xiao Wu was worried and thought he was crazy.

"It's okay, I can withstand his trap!" Qin Ming took 600 day gold and walked towards the courtyard with flowers and birds singing again.

Wu Chengwang became more amiable, took out a badly worn book, and said, "This contains my annotations. This sutra is priceless, because apart from the Tathagata lineage, few people understand the two versions of the Golden Cicada Sutra."

Qin Ming complimented him, saying that he had spent his entire life studying this sutra, which was equivalent to opening up new fields, and he was truly a man of great virtue.

"I think so too." Wu Chengwang nodded with a smile.

Qin Ming turned to the first page. In fact, he could only turn a few pages this time, but he was smiling, very satisfied. The more he looked, the brighter the smile on his face.

"Haha..." Wu Chengwang was also laughing. He felt that this little lamb was very fat and he could spend money without blinking an eye to cultivate it in the long term.

"Haha..." Qin Ming was in a good mood. He was amazed after reading only two pages, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Wu Chengwang smiled and became more amiable. Finally, he couldn't help laughing and sighed in his heart, what a good little fat sheep.
