Night without Borders

Chapter 255: Thunder and Fire Refining the Golden Pill in the Belly

The night sky is as dark and thick as ink that cannot be dissolved.

Deep in the Shanhe Academy, a tall tower stands quietly. Its stone surface is rough and old, and the tower seems to be rising into the clouds.

At the horizon, arcs of electricity cut through the darkness, and soon a light rain began to fall.

Click!
A red lightning bolt struck the tall tower, and suddenly, the special metal tiles seemed to be covered with sunset glow, with gold edges inlaid in the deep red.

In addition, there are glowing "hydrangeas" rolling around on the tiles.

"Xiao Qin, if you can't do it, run out quickly!" Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan were both in the tower, but they did not enter the lightning-attracting area.

The two were indeed somewhat worried because the young man they valued was too crazy.

Lightning pierced the night sky, bringing down a large amount of sky light along with some mysterious substances from the outside world.

After being "filtered" by metal tiles engraved with special runes, otherworldly substances such as heavenly light and the nine-day pure air fell and entered the tower.

The quiet room made of rough stones was not quiet at all. Qin Ming was covered by the pouring light from the sky, and his body felt transparent.

"The light of the sky contained in the summer thunder is indeed violent, and more destructive than the spring thunder that carries wisps of vigorous life energy."

This is Qin Ming's actual feeling. No wonder even those who want to fight to the death only choose the first thunder and fire adventure in early spring.

However, he is no longer a jerk. After reaching the second realm, he is more resistant to the erosion of daylight.

He only endured three waves of sky light before it became dark here.

During the rainy season, the weather is unpredictable.

It was just a brief shower that soon stopped.

Qin Ming was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time and was prepared to eat and live in the tower.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan rushed in immediately, and were relieved when they saw that only his clothes were burned through and torn by the sunlight, and his body was slightly red.

At the same time, they were very shocked. This young man in the second realm was being baptized by the light from outer world. If this were to be spread out, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"Brother Ming, I heard that you were struck by lightning. I'm here to accompany you." Xiao Wu came and entered the tower with a look of shock, but also quite excited.

He has always been trying to catch up with Qin Ming, even his realm is comparable to Qin Ming's.

"It's the light from the outside world!" Qin Ming corrected, the high tower filtered out the thunder.

Xiao Wu said: "Almost. In the eyes of many people, it is no different from thunder and fire, and is equally terrifying."

Qin Ming said seriously, "You have never experienced this before. Don't be too adventurous. Just try it out first."

This is no joke. Back then, the ground in the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Hall was littered with broken limbs and skulls, and the air was filled with a strong smell of barbecue. Many old people went in wearing shrouds. All of these were forced choices made when their lives were numbered.

Wu Yaozu nodded solemnly and said, "I know, the situation is not right, I will withdraw immediately."

Half a day later, another wave of lightning struck, and ball lightning appeared on the tower.

In the core area of ​​the tower, the little black ghost was howling like a wolf, smoke was coming out of his body, light was coming out of his mouth, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and he was frozen there, unable to escape.

He felt that he was almost cooked and started talking nonsense.

Qin Ming quickly threw him out.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan were waiting outside and went forward to help him check.

It took Xiao Wu a long time to recover. With a moment of fear, he said, "At that moment, I seemed to see my great-grandmother."

Although almost all his clan members had died when he was born, with only a grandmother by his side, it did not prevent him from suspecting that the white-haired old woman he had just seen in his hazy consciousness was the ancestor who came to "guide" him on his journey.

Xiao Wu was completely convinced. He really couldn't compare himself with Brother Ming in everything. There were some aspects that were simply incomparable!
"You're not bad either. You've been baptized by Xia Lei's three waves of sky light, and your body is fine." Qin Ming walked out.

This time it was still a shower, with only four waves of light falling, which was too short for him.

"It's really amazing!" Even Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan were amazed.

Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "Compared to Brother Ming, he is still far behind. I am almost familiar with him."

Then he touched his head and screamed.

Because, as he touched it, all his short hair turned to ashes and fell down, leaving him completely bald.

After that, there was still only a drizzle and occasional lightning, which was far from the thunder waterfall that Qin Ming longed for.

During this period, Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan brought some bad news.

It is said that the ancestral conference is still being held.

During this period, one of the ancestors vomited blood. It was not known whether it was due to old age, physical deterioration after a great battle, or he was pretending.

Many people outside are speculating.

Many of them thought that he was fishing and was not really going to decay.

However, Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan do not think so. They feel that some ancestors will be reborn, while some ancestors will probably fail in nirvana.

"In the coming period of time, the number of ancestors may be halved!"

This is their pessimistic expectation. If the founder were to take that step at the risk of his life, the success rate of the new life would only be about 50%.

Qin Ming's heart suddenly became heavy, and the sense of relaxation he had felt in recent days disappeared in an instant. He once again had a strong sense of crisis.

He asked, "What do the people of the Immortal Road think? They won't start a war again, right?"

Zhao Ziyuan shook his head and said, "No, there will be great development in the future, so it is not appropriate to waste time on internal affairs right now."

The most important thing is that a few days ago, the founder of Xinsheng Road had a bloody battle on the plateau, and the founder of Xianlu Road's eyes became clear as a result, and he has been very rational recently.

Li Qingyue came and knew that Qin Ming was baptizing his body with the light of heaven. She was quite worried and went into the tower to watch.

"Is this my sister-in-law?" Xiao Wu was also here and greeted her warmly.

Then, he looked at Qin Ming with resentment and said, "Brother Ming, when did your 'lonely old constitution' break out?"

"Stay there!"

"Okay, I'm considerate. Can't I make room for you?" He stood up immediately.

Li Qingyue was very open and calm. Facing his jokes, she showed no shyness like other girls and did not need to explain herself.

She was so clear, ethereal, and calm that she looked like a fairy, which made Xiao Wu feel uncomfortable teasing her any more. "Are you okay like this?" Li Qingyue looked at Qin Ming and asked with concern.

The seeds on the road to immortality usually begin from the third realm, with the initial "tribulation", or the baptism of consciousness with immortal fire, thus transforming into pure yang.

As soon as Qin Ming stepped into the second realm, he used the light from the otherworldly world to "remove his hair and cleanse his marrow" in all directions. This was really shocking.

"It's okay. I can bear it. This may be the most effective way for me to break the cage of the new life path and achieve a leap in life level without being hindered by time."

Li Qingyue understood his feelings. Several ancestors of Xinsheng Road might pass away soon, and there might be a danger of being suppressed by the outside world and the esoteric religion in the future.

Moreover, the great development is about to come, and by that time there will be hundreds of schools of thought and thousands of competitors. If Qin Ming is in the difficult situation at the bottom, what can he use to compete with other paths?

This is a great era, the law has just emerged, everything is possible, many people have ambitions, they all want to seek truth, surpass gods, and become ancestors!
Li Qingyue informed: "Jiang Ran should be here in two days. Even if I don't have the Black and White Sutra, I can still get the Eight Scenery Sutra from her."

Luo Yao's elder sister, the green-clothed girl who obtained the greatest fortune in the Black and White Mountains was named Jiang Ran. She was the strongest near-immortal seed in the Immortal Land!

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "You don't have to owe her a favor. It's just twelve pages of the Black and White Scripture. Just give it to her!"

Afterwards, he called Xiao Wu into the quiet room and prepared to teach them how to practice this extraordinary technique.

It didn't take long before Li Qingyue and Wu Yaozu both frowned. The requirements for getting started with this scripture were too high.

"The light of heaven, divine wisdom, and the spiritual light of consciousness must be blended together, and moreover, the Four Imperial Powers must be practiced." Xiao Wu sighed helplessly, thinking that he could give up.

“The special pure yang consciousness aura should be able to replace the Four Imperial Powers. And if your divine rainbow is strong enough, it may also be able to replace it.” Qin Ming said. After all, this is the method of the immortals’ Taoist temple.

He guessed that the orthodox way should be based on pure yang consciousness, supplemented by Tianguang Jin.

Li Qingyue pondered and said, "Well, this means that the Pure Yang Consciousness Aura must reach the level of four days of superposition before one can practice the first twelve pages of the Black and White Scripture. As for the scriptures that follow, the requirements will probably be even more outrageous."

……

The waterfall of thunder and lightning that Qin Ming had been expecting finally came!
Li Qingyue and Xiao Wu both left the quiet room and looked outside at the light pouring down and covering the young man in the field.

"How many layers of light from the sky have fallen? It must be more than eighteen waves, right?" Yu Gensheng's face was full of solemnity. There was too much light from the sky!

In the quiet room, Qin Ming's body was burning hot, like a red-hot iron, making people worry that he would be melted.

He has many extraordinary skills to practice, from the Five Elements Sutra to the Dragon and Snake Sutra, to the Golden Cicada Sutra and the Immortal Butterfly Sutra. Now that he has reached the second level, it is time to improve these skills.

In the past, when I was at the first level, their sequels were too difficult and I couldn’t practice them, but now it’s naturally not a problem.

Relatively speaking, these are all natural outcomes.

As for the silk calligraphy, it has been integrated into his flesh and blood!

It is obvious that the volume of his skylight is growing significantly.

“No wonder some people have already mastered the three levels of Imperial Power in the first realm, but in the Grandmaster realm, the upper limit is only the six levels of Imperial Power, and it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you advance.”

At this moment, Qin Ming had an epiphany.

It's just like a child who has an excellent physique when he is young. As he grows older, although he looks taller and his size has increased, his physique is not necessarily better than before. In fact, if he is malnourished or lacks exercise, he may become a sickly person.

However, this is not a big problem for Qin Ming.

He tempered his body with the light of heaven. As long as he survived this violent baptism, while his body size increased, there was no way that the power of the light of heaven would degenerate.

He clearly felt that the Four Guardian Powers had improved, but the increase was not as obvious as before.

"It seems that it is necessary to refine the heterogeneous substances and practice other extraordinary skills!"

The essence of sparks, the legendary star evil, etc., all belong to the Tianguang branch. Qin Ming prepared to refine them when he left here. Today, he mainly uses the outer world's Tianguang to practice his extraordinary skills.

The sky was bright, and other mysterious substances from the outside world fell down, submerging Qin Ming.

The extraordinary skills he learned in the first realm were constantly put into practice and were fully sublimated!
The next choice is naturally very important. His first choice is "The Sutra of Withering and Flourishing", followed by "The Sutra of Black and White".

Because, the subsequent path to the second realm is mainly guided by these two sutras, so that it can be quickly unfolded!

After a moment, Qin Ming underwent an astonishing change. His black hair lost its luster and turned white. This was the embodiment of the true meaning of withering. He seemed to have aged a hundred years in an instant.

If this kind of skylight force hits the opponent, it would be quite terrifying.

Soon, his body was full of vitality again, thriving, and he recovered quickly. His black hair grew back, and his flesh and blood became as crystal clear as divine glass.

The Sutra of Withering and Flourishing contains the principles of life and death, as well as the explanation of yin and yang.

In the past, Qin Ming had coveted it for a long time. Recently, he not only got it, but also practiced it to perfection here.

Afterwards, he went to practice the Black and White Sutra.

In an instant, the black and white light outside his body intertwined and surged, gradually forming an extremely harmonious black and white yin and yang picture, which was quite astonishing.

Not to mention Qin Ming himself, even the few people outside the quiet room felt its magic. This wonder was quite unusual and extraordinary!

Qin Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself. He was sure that the Black and White Scripture was more powerful than the Withering and Flourishing Scripture and was more suitable for him. This should be his first choice of scripture at the moment.

"Well, in the early stage of the second realm, you can only add two or three new extraordinary skills. If you practice more, you will feel uncomfortable."

This was Qin Ming's realization, mainly because his earlier Five Elements Miraculous Skills, Dragon and Snake Sutra, etc., had also been promoted and needed him to hone and blend them.

Qin Ming knew that enough was enough, so he left room for the "Eight Scenery Sutra".

He has other extraordinary skills, but it is not suitable for him to practice them at the moment. He needs to reach the second intermediate stage before continuing.

After he mastered the Black and White Sutra, he began to combine the Dragon and Tiger medicines, used the scriptures in the silk book to control all the laws, and began to integrate them, using them as a great medicine for internal practice.

Not long after, in the dazzling light of the sky, a golden elixir took shape in Qin Ming's body, illuminating his flesh and blood, and a real medicinal fragrance emanated from it.

This has not yet been integrated with the essence of star fire, star evil, etc., but only the internal refining of various "miraculous medicines", which has already achieved this, making Qin Ming full of expectations for the future.

At this moment, he clearly felt that his physical condition, natural light, etc. were improving.

When the waterfall-like lightning disappeared, his whole body became clear and bright, as if a golden elixir had been refined to perfection.

“Hiss!” Yu Gensheng sucked in the night mist and said, “It’s exactly thirty-six waves of skylight, and each wave surges in like a tide. This number is wonderful.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyue's beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "It's a bit like the 49th Heavenly Tribulation in ancient legends."

The New Year is coming, so I'd like to talk about the updates during this period. I'll try to update once a day. I'll take this opportunity to make adjustments. If I have something to do and can't update on a certain day, I'll let you know in advance.
