Chapter 171 Tianhua
by Sunflower“Testing one’s sword across the world is an extremely difficult path for a powerful person, but those who succeed in it all leave their mark on history.” As the girl in green spoke, her eyes shone with a brilliant light.
Some people in the adjacent seats were also amazed after reading the contents of the evening paper. Testing swords in a hundred cities was indeed a remarkable feat.
“Some renowned senior figures also walked this path when they were young!”
Qin Ming listened and watched quietly until much later, when the novelty of the journey wore off and the chatter gradually subsided. The black fog churned, and even above the bend of the sky, not a ray of light could be seen.
A group of energetic teenagers, even when they had nothing to talk about, did not tire. Many of them came to the deck and gazed at the inky road ahead.
I felt uneasy. What if we fell? Even if we walk the path of immortality, we haven’t reached the point where we can abandon our physical bodies and let our consciousness and spirit live on.
“Don’t jinx it, you can’t say that.” Someone quickly stopped him, but he himself couldn’t help but touch the parachute pack on his body.
The night was as deep as an abyss, and even the high sky was far inferior to the ground, for on the dark earth, there were only a few scattered springs of fire, like fireflies.
The Vermilion Bird spaceship was truly extraordinary as it sailed through the vast, abyss-like sky. Its hull flowed with a dark red luster as it broke through the sea of fog.
Soon after, its speed decreased until it came to a stop.
“Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes heavenly blossoms fall from the night sky, sweet as nectar, but whether you can obtain them depends entirely on luck,” a woman transmitted through the light of her soul.
People knew that the main event was about to begin.
Why did they choose to travel on the Vermilion Bird spaceship instead of a higher alien species? It was because they wanted to guide “Guan Hua”.
The fake people also opened their eyes and came to the deck. It was not quiet outside the ship. The wind was strong and the thick fog was like huge waves.
Many of the teenagers looked on with anticipation.
After the Vermilion Bird came to a stop, it hovered here. Fine lines intertwined on the hull, forming a large net that supported and covered the ship.
“Are there dangerous creatures in the night sky?” someone muttered to themselves.
“The night sea is unpredictable; who can understand it? It’s best not to say too much,” a middle-aged man said.
Then, the woman’s consciousness surged again, informing everyone that, based on past experience, there was a high probability that “Tianhua” would descend from this place.
Qin Ming also came to the deck; this was a new experience for him.
“It’s here! I see a streak of light!” someone exclaimed. Unfortunately, it was too far from the spaceship, and the light shower quickly disappeared. “No rush. We’ll stay here for a long time; we’ll have enough time to capture Tianhua.”
Half an hour later, amidst exclamations of surprise, a shower of light pierced through the thick fog and poured down from the higher sky, covering a considerable area.
This time, the spaceship moved forward slowly, adjusted its position, and took the initiative to meet the incoming attack.
“This ticket was worth it!” someone exclaimed joyfully. “This time we’re safe!” Tianhua descended through a gap in the light network. Everyone joined forces to guide the rain of light.
Qin Ming circulated the “River Stream Classic” and faced the rain of light, capturing more than a dozen drops that had no fragrant scent but were all faintly glowing with spiritual radiance.
He tasted it; it had no flavor at all, and it really did taste like water.
However, he soon had a new experience. After more than a dozen drops of Heavenly Essence entered his stomach, he felt a warm sensation flowing through his flesh and blood, nourishing his spirit.
After a moment, he savored the taste and realized it truly resembled Wei Zhi’s flavor, like drinking a fragrant beverage.
Qin Ming was secretly surprised. This stuff was indeed quite good for the body. If one were to use it to make tea and drink it like water all year round, that would be too extravagant.
He could only sigh inwardly, thinking how fulfilling and enjoyable the lives of the older generation were.
Then he thought of Li Qingyue, who had obtained the near-immortal Eight Trigrams Furnace, which allowed her to capture Heavenly Essence every day. No wonder she made many people envious.
“This is just the most ordinary Tianhua, please enjoy it slowly.” The woman’s spiritual light transmitted its voice again.
“The ship is slow, but the ticket is expensive; there’s definitely a reason for that,” someone exclaimed, praising the experience as a first-time passenger.
The black fog surged fiercely outside the ship like a vast ocean. Fifteen minutes later, a shower of light appeared, even denser, covering the area.
This time, Qin Ming held nothing back. The thick night fog, carrying moisture, was utilized by his “River Network Classic” to begin capturing Guan Hua.
“You guys are too… amazing!” some people exclaimed.
Qiu Long, Lu Xu, and the others launched their attack using their spiritual powers, almost like a robbery, causing nearby people to stomp their feet in frustration.
Especially for newcomers, some of them couldn’t even release their Heavenly Light yet, and could only stare helplessly as the Heavenly Splendor was snatched up before it was even far away from them.
This time, Qin Ming received nearly thirty drops of celestial essence, crystal clear like dewdrops, radiant with light, and incredibly beautiful, making him feel as if he were drinking jade nectar.
“Good wine!” someone nearby exclaimed. “Everyone, spread out, don’t crowd together,” someone shouted.
However, there were still too many people on the deck, around five hundred. Even if they scattered, some people still wouldn’t be able to get anything.
Soon, the difference became apparent. Some people stood out and attracted a lot of attention each time. Qin Ming was one of them.
“What kind of technique is this? It’s not a flash of inspiration, nor divine wisdom. The fog surges, and the light rain falls on him. It’s so enviable.”
Some people were surprised, and even those who walked the Immortal Path and the Secret Path showed surprise. This guy’s methods were extraordinary. He was even better at robbing than them. With a single stroke, he could take away a large area of Heavenly Splendor.
“Senior brother, what does Tianhua taste like? I haven’t tasted a single drop yet.” A young girl looked on with a pitiful expression.
Qin Ming smiled and gave her two drops.
However, this set a bad precedent, as a group of people gathered around.
It wasn’t all teenagers here; there were also some young adults. Many people crowded around. They couldn’t pull the distant Tianhua, but when it landed, they could intercept some of it.
Qin Ming didn’t get angry. After thinking for a moment, he returned to his cabin. “It’s him!” a girl in purple exclaimed in surprise, recognizing him from a distance. “Who is it?”
The girl in purple said, “Back then, the people from the Jade Purity Ancestral Court set up a small test. The extraordinary Cao Wuji could only activate seven colors of heavenly light, but he activated eight!”
“He has the potential to become a core disciple of the ancestral temple of a sect? Yuqing is one of the highest halls on the path to rebirth, but I never expected him to choose to go to Kunjun!”
The geniuses who walked the path of non-Buddhism and the path of esoteric Buddhism were astonished, even though they…
At this level, Yuqing and Liuyu are also valued.
His disciples were deeply saddened.
“No wonder he has such skills; he might be practicing the extraordinary skill ‘River Collateral Scripture’.” Some even guessed Qin Ming’s method.
Qiu Long, Lu Xu, Qi Ming and the others exchanged glances, and then smiled slightly. Although the top disciples of the major ancestral courts on Xinsheng Road were strong, they were only at the initial stage.
Their elders had taught them: what should they do if they encountered a top disciple of the New Path in the early stages? Simply turn away calmly.
In the later stages of the second major realm, even such a person can only look at the back of their former opponent with sadness, because they can never catch up.
“Although I don’t know how he is, I’ll turn around first,” someone said with a faint smile, and then turned their back to them.
“I’ll turn around too, hehe.”
Nearby, some freshmen who heard these words didn’t look too happy, because they knew what they meant; it was a slightly discriminatory jest.
The laughter quickly stopped because someone had just discovered that the boy had appeared in another isolated area.
Leng Yue from Fangwai Yangtu, Su Shiyun from Xiantu, Zhao Yaoting from Mijiao, and others all lived in that area.
Their identities have been revealed: some are descendants of road pioneers, others are near-immortals; all have impressive backgrounds and are exceptionally talented.
A group of people were shocked. How did that boy who walked the path of new life end up there? And someone even invited him to have tea, no, to have a cup of “Tianhua”.
Suddenly, everyone who had been joking around fell silent, feeling alarmed. What was going on? After being intercepted by some young men, Qin Ming used his boat ticket to travel to a different area!
As soon as he arrived, he was shocked. These people all possessed extraordinary treasures that could quickly guide Guan Hua and other strange substances.
For example, some people stand calmly holding jade cups, while purple mist slowly descends from the depths of the night sky, entering the cups and radiating an astonishing spiritual energy. Others hold four-inch-tall treasure bottles, drawing in faint silvery clouds.
Qin Ming was amazed. These people were indeed very powerful, possessing such treasures. They might not be useful on the ground, but they had endless uses in the sky.
In fact, he did not know that these teenagers were given the treasure because they had a mission to complete.
The esoteric Buddhist priest, Jing Cheng, smiled, greeted Qin Ming, and offered him a cup of Da Hua liquor. Qin Ming thanked him and they began chatting warmly.
Cai Jingcheng couldn’t figure out who he came from for a while, but he felt that since he was with them and in the same private cabin, he was probably a fellow traveler on this mission.
Therefore, he was quite polite.
Qin Ming discovered that the crystal glass of the guy next to him was actually drawing in wisps of otherworldly light, which had already condensed into liquid!
His eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn’t help but look at them again and again.
“Brother, what is this…?” Zhao Yaoting, who followed the path of esoteric Buddhism, felt uncomfortable under his gaze and asked. “Ugh, there’s a severe lack of sunlight lately. Are you selling it, brother?” Qin Ming inquired.
“This…” Zhao Yaoting hesitated for a moment, then took out a small bottle about the size of a thumb, which contained half a bottle of clear liquid, and said, “I’ll give you a bottle.”
Qin Ming felt very embarrassed; how could he accept something for nothing? He could only express his gratitude repeatedly. Soon, Zhao Yaoting was shocked.
Because he discovered that the boy was directly drinking the liquid formed from the condensed light of the otherworld. “Brother, you’ve got it wrong, that’s not the Heavenly Essence!” he shouted to warn him.
“I know,” Qin Ming said, after tasting it and finding no problems. This stuff was much more potent than “Fallen Fruit.”
Then, he began to savor it slowly, like wine. Instantly, the group of teenagers in the area were all petrified. Could this really be done? Drinking the Great Light of the Outer World directly from the mouth?
“I originally intended to use it to refine a spiritual artifact. Are you… alright?” Zhao Yaoting asked with a complicated expression.
Qin Ming was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ve been practicing a secret technique recently, which requires enduring all sorts of hardships. It’s stimulating my body right now. I’m fine, I can take a few more bottles without any problem.”
Don’t wait for the late-night chapter, read it in the morning.
(There’s more to come!)
