Chapter 188: Chapter 119: Bountiful Harvest

At the edge of the great pit, a small group of Outer Disciples made their entry, infused with Pure Yang Blood Essence, bursting forth divine rosy glows like falling meteors piercing through the dense Heavenly Light-colored mist.

If they were protected by Pure Yang Material, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to enter; they were initially just unwilling to personally risk it. Otherwise, why bring the Outer Saint along?

Qin Ming, holding a Close Immortal Item, looked at the patch of ashes on the ground and said, "The curtain has been lifted; this has always been the stage for the Outer Disciples. What are you meddling for? If you don’t act, you won’t die."

After killing He Tai, he turned to look at Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe.

The two stood on the slope, quite aloof, and did not enter the fray to help He Tai.

However, now both of their faces were stern; Qin Ming’s clean and efficient disposal of the disciples of the Great Ape King’s lineage had put pressure on them.

"Although He Tai was not a mutant, he had some reputation. His death here will certainly stir up a storm."

"The lineage of the Great Ape King, due to their Jin Technique, has some members who are quite fierce and hot-tempered, and they hold grudges."

Li Tianhe and Chen Xingyuan spoke one after another.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "The Outer Disciples will arrive soon."

Their words seemed unrelated, but both understood the other’s intentions.

Chen Xingyuan said, "Once the Outer Disciples show up, we will tell them the truth: He Tai went to meet you but was unfortunately burned to death by Heavenly Light on the way."

Qin Ming gently tapped the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, causing a crisp metallic tremor, like a Daoist bell softly ringing, seemingly capable of sweeping away the dust in one’s heart.

He spoke, "Without getting hands-on, it’s hard to appreciate the marvel of the Close Immortal Item."

"Let’s speak plainly; we indeed want to study it," said Li Tianhe.

Qin Ming said, "Apart from ’telling the truth’, I also want some Heavenly Light Techniques."

"You have a big appetite."

"With our status, once we help cover up the truth, we will never be able to retract it, isn’t that enough?"

Both spoke one after another, their brows slightly furrowed.

Qin Ming appeared indifferent and said, "You are too stingy. Wanting to study the Close Immortal Item without giving anything in return, is there such a cheap deal? Your time is running out."

Initially, the three might have had a fierce fight, but instead, they engaged in a ’negotiation’, with potentially only He Tai being hurt.

Actually, Qin Ming also wanted to beat up these two, but the timing and location were not right; if another explosion occurred, it would cause a big uproar.

"Fine, I have a Heavenly Light Power," nodded Chen Xingyuan.

Li Tianhe followed suit, willing to offer a Cultivation Technique.

Both placed great importance on the Close Immortal Item, suspecting their Taoist lineage had relevant records.

Qin Ming approached them to begin ’negotiations’, unafraid of them attacking together, as both clearly knew they had no strength to instantly defeat each other.

"I have an Iron Leg Skill..." Chen Xingyuan began.

Qin Ming immediately wanted to kick him. What kind of poor skill was that? He directly interrupted, saying, "Your Five Elements Palace is vast and wealthy, filled with Miracle Techniques, right? Just give me any book related to the Five Elements properties; I don’t even want the higher-level ones."

Chen Xingyuan’s expression froze, the other’s demand ridiculously high; he was at the stage of practicing Miracle Techniques himself, how could he possibly trade such a technique to an outsider?

If he dared to reveal it, the Elder Council of the Five Elements Palace would flay him alive.

"Then Yin Earth Fist it is!" Chen Xingyuan said, appearing to make a big concession.

"I have the Wuji Scripture, do you think I care for your kind of fist technique? Five Elements Palace is nothing much after all," shook Qin Ming his head.

Chen Xingyuan’s brows furrowed deeply, watching the approaching Outer Disciples, and finally sighed, saying, "Then Wind and Fire Power it is."

"How exactly?" asked Qin Ming.

Chen Xingyuan replied, "Wind fuels the fire’s intensity, fire brings forth the wind’s force. This is not only an offensive Heavenly Light Power but also a very potent movement technique."

Qin Ming immediately nodded, saying, "Practice it seriously and recite it; I’ll follow and learn."

Li Tianhe, very aware, retreated to a sufficiently far distance.

A moment later, Chen Xingyuan, with a complex expression, had only practiced it once, yet the other already nodded off - was this pretense of understanding, or a truly exceptional gift?

He cut off his extraneous thoughts, holding the Close Immortal Item, standing aside and sensing intently, but apart from the moment of striking the furnace that brought a clear state of mind, he discovered nothing else.

On the other side, Qin Ming and Li Tianhe also finished their transaction, with Qin Ming learning Jade Flower Power from him.

Cultivating this Heavenly Light Power could nourish the body, heal injuries, and if utilized when one’s energy was exhausted, it could even accelerate recovery.

According to Li Tianhe, practicing Jade Flower Power once a day was akin to consuming Jade Liquid, like drinking a bowl of tonic, very beneficial for the body.

This claim might be exaggerated, but long-term practice indeed had its benefits.

"Alas, if you were alive, I reckon I could have obtained another Heavenly Light Power." Qin Ming expressed his regret, looking at the ashes left by He Tai.

The Outer Disciples had already arrived, but they did not approach; even though they were protected by Pure Yang Blood Essence, they were still extremely wary of the most concentrated area of Heavenly Light at the bottom of the huge pit.

They had seen Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe studying the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, which was normal; no one was uninterested in such an artifact.

The Outer Disciples did not stop them, after all, it was brought out by someone risking their life.

Tang Xumi, Jiang Shengyu, and others did not come personally, sending their most trusted people instead, along with some Outer Disciples who had their own ideas.

"Gentlemen, at a heavy price, we finally extracted the Close Immortal Item, but it’s a pity for Elder Brother He Tai, who was burned to ashes by the Heavenly Light, a genius envied by the heavens."

Chen Xingyuan spoke, keeping his promise. Even while saying such ’sorrowful’ words, he maintained an indifferent demeanor.

Qin Ming realized that this youth, not knowing who had taught him, always tried to maintain a detached state, bereft of joy and sorrow.
