Chapter 132: Chapter 84 A Bit Stronger Than Mutants_2

"Listening to them, their world sounds utterly fascinating," Qin Ming felt moved.

"There are other realms too, just as splendid. It’s merely that you haven’t had the chance to be near them. You should join a mighty Taoist lineage or enter a special high-level academy, to experience it firsthand, delve deep into the secret books, and comprehend this world."

Finally, Qin Ming, carrying the mud-covered Ning Siqi, entered the City Lord’s Mansion, this seemingly hot potato needed to be "sent away" by Meng Xinghai.

That wasn’t a difficult task; acting the part was sufficient.

"Take care!"

"You too, take care, see you at the mountain summit!"

Eventually, Ning Siqi left.

...

In the Purple Copper Incense Burner, the Calming Incense that could extinguish restlessness and sweep the dust from the soul was slowly burning.

Meng Xinghai drinking tea, said, "You indeed shocked me, breaking an experienced expert with just three strikes and two kicks, and you were even holding back."

This time, Qin Ming didn’t modestly downplay it, saying, "Although Ge Qianxun is old, he certainly doesn’t count as a true expert. By the way, Uncle Meng, he is a Golden Thief."

Meng Xinghai nodded, "I’ve already ordered an interrogation."

He looked at Qin Ming, and asked, "To what level has your body rebirthed?"

"I’ve undergone rebirth four times, a bit stronger than the mutant beings recorded in the books," Qin Ming informed.

Meng Xinghai suddenly stood up, such information unsettling him greatly.

He carefully examined Qin Ming, then laughed and said, "What a pity, I don’t have a daughter."

Qin Ming also chuckled.

Meng Xinghai sighed, "Such talent is nearly at the level of an outsider with close to immortal talent, but it’s a pity, our path does not lead to becoming an immortal, and our cultivation methods are entirely different."

After the shock, he was deeply moved, saying, "You really gave me a surprise, even more splendid than I had imagined."

He stood up, paced around the rustic living room, and finally placed his hand on a bronze furnace, saying, "From now on, stop training those messy low-level Heavenly Light Skills. I’ll soon find for you a rather rare secret book."

Qin Ming realized, demonstrating the scarcity of his talent, Old Meng indeed relied on him more now, and already started making arrangements for him.

Meng Xinghai said, "During this rebirth phase, ordinary people don’t study deeply, but thousand-year-old families are very aware. It’s best if the body does not mutate more than five times in a year; otherwise, it might affect your future path."

Qin Ming was startled; does his rapid ascension plan have to be limited?

Meng Xinghai asked, "You should have felt it, mutation brings considerable benefits each time, akin to returning to the womb, but there are some other discomforts in the short term that require adjustment. Those are the side effects."

"Uncle Meng, I haven’t felt that," Qin Ming shook his head.

Meng Xinghai tapped the chime, saying, "Your situation exceeds that of young mutant beings, it’s not unmentioned in the ancient books. According to one document, muting six times a year should pose no hidden dangers for you. Actually, you need not rush; the rebirth stage is the fastest phase of our journey. There’s no need to accelerate further."

But Qin Ming felt a pressing urgency; he was unwilling to delay even a day.

He believed he really had no issues; other books also mentioned that one should not casually merge Heavenly Light Skills, it must follow the correct path, yet the silk scripture encouraged this.

Crucially, there was no mention in the silk scripture about rebirthing only five or six times a year.

Meng Xinghai said, "Don’t be impulsive. Recently focus on tranquil cultivation. I will arrange someone to procure some higher-grade Spiritual Material for you..."

Qin Ming did not refute; although he needed to showcase his strength, he could not reveal certain core secrets.

He returned to the inn, tallying the spoils of war.

Among Ge Qianxun’s belongings were four hundred and twenty-one pieces of Day Gold, a wealth that could be said to be quite astonishing, but unaligned with his status as the head of a Hall; it seemed scanty.

"This old guy definitely has more than one hideout," Qin Ming concluded, sure that as a Golden Thief, he frequently visited distant strongholds, most crucially, he had little family here.

Ge Qianxun had five books on him, three of which were practice manuals for Xinyi Hall’s newcomers, even containing some coded language, but Qin Ming wasn’t interested.

The fourth book records the Hammer Technique, originating from the Sun Family, but it’s unfortunately of little use to Qin Ming; he has already thoroughly mastered it.

"Vajra Armor?" Qin Ming leafs through another ancient book that resonates with his spirit.

It is bound in unknown beast hide, evidently an antique, significantly worn but still carrying intense emotional fluctuations.

Without a doubt, it is the crystallization of a predecessor’s painstaking effort!

"A type of Hard Skill that significantly boosts defense and can also be used to attack." Qin Ming briefly scans it and discovers that this cultivation technique is truly extraordinary.

No wonder Ge Qianxun is filled with resentment; having this Hard Skill, stepping into the Outer Saint Domain should have been no trouble at all, but his foundation was shattered when he was on the brink of Small Success.

"The body swells, indicating that it’s not yet perfected; at an advanced level, one can ignore the slashes of swords and blades, and when perfected, the outward appearance of the body looks no different than an ordinary person."

Qin Ming senses that this technique is formidable. Highly interested, he focuses intensely, wholly immersing himself and resonating with the lingering emotions.

He sees an old man, ignoring the attacks of a sky-full of Exotic Birds, casually smashing those mutant creatures with a slap.

The scene shifts: the old man, using his bare body, rams a giant Mutant Tortoise, shattering it into pieces.

Then, Qin Ming sees him fighting a mountain-sized giant beast, his body erupting with Heavenly Light; using his body as a weapon, he charges through the beast’s heart.

"This is... really tough!" he exclaims in amazement.

The old man looks very lean, but his body is as tough as Vajra, displaying violent aesthetics as he charges and smashes through, unstoppable by various monsters.

During this time, Qin Ming left the inn once to secretly retrieve the Secret Book that Ning Siqi had entrusted to him.

"Very high-level, capable of cultivating the special Lihuo earlier on, quite difficult, best suited to practice in the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall!" Qin Ming puts it away temporarily, realizing that this is a Miracle Technique, its value immeasurable.

In the following days, he devotes himself entirely to practicing that Hard Skill.

The book contains only one Heavenly Light Technique—Vajra, undoubtedly a composite and domineering technique, truly a protective wonderful technique.

Days later, Qin Ming tries it out, and his body swells up like being inflated, which is the movement of Heavenly Light, supporting the muscles and skin alike.

"Just at Small Success, it still can’t withstand powerful attacks, but it allows for slight adjustments to appearance." Qin Ming, looking at himself in the mirror, has managed to round out his face and plump his body with effort.

Two days later, he studies the topographic map of the mountains and decides to venture into the mountains alone.

Although Meng Xinghai told him to not rush and wait, he always feels that time is not on his side, and he must strengthen himself quickly to ensure his survival.

Ning Siqi also tried to pull some strings and send a message to Cui Hao in Fangwai through her connections, hoping that Uncle Cui Qi would come out and change Qin Ming’s perilous position.

But he didn’t put his hope on others; quickly becoming stronger is the real assurance.

Moreover, if Cui Hao didn’t receive the message or remained secluded, his situation would not change.

This time, Qin Ming disguises himself, putting on a fake beard and loose clothing, not carrying the Big Hammer, only carrying the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade into the mountains.

Some areas in the mountains are covered with a gorgeous blaze of red sky, due to Fire Spring, which is fully reviving and gushing.

In some areas, not only grass and trees are sprouting, but also flower buds are about to bloom.

"Hmm, that thief?" Qin Ming has no interest in the scenery; not long after entering the mountains, he spots a person in gray clothes who had previously intercepted him, Xu Cheng, and Sister Fenfang’s Snow Lotus.

With a whoosh, he directly chases after him.

The person in gray is very alert, instantly sensing and disappearing into the forest, very familiar with the mountains, making slick turns here and there.

When they reach a lake area, Qin Ming notices a mutant beast in the distance, glowing purplish, just coming out of a steaming lake, admiring its reflection in the lake.

"Isn’t the Purple Lightning Beast a rare Alien Species? How come I’ve encountered two recently? Is this species overbreeding?"

Qin Ming, as fast as lightning, dashes from behind and mounts the Alien Species.

"You’re temporarily requisitioned by me, move it, help me chase someone!"

The Purple Lightning Beast, now mutated four times, was blissfully enjoying the hot springs, but now it’s entirely unsettled, recognizing the accent it’s hearing not for the first time!
