Chapter 267: Chapter 173: Life and Death Tribulation_2

He knew that if this purple cloud was "Heavenly Light," it must be of a very high level!

Qin Ming collected all the purple mist from the pit, still unsatisfied. He put his hand in the pit, using the Heavenly Light Force to explore whether it was in the mountain too.

At the same time, he restrained himself, not using the Thunder Fire Power, as he didn’t want to "Inner Refining" Big Medicine in such a place.

"Sure enough, there’s more!" Qin Ming was pleased, using Sticky Force to draw out several large clusters of Purple Qi, carrying a peaceful aura, and absorbed them all into his body.

He searched carefully, found other areas of the mountain emitting purple mist, and immediately rushed over upon discovery.

During this, he saw the Golden Radiance rippling, thinking it counted as rare spiritual essence, naturally not being polite and absorbing it clean.

"Absorbing some of various Outer Heaven essences seems to make my body feel more comfortable!" Qin Ming found it wonderful; the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire was restless, wanting to "Inner Refining" again.

He found the correct Inner Refining method of using "Earth Fire" to trigger "Heavenly Thunder."

Qin Ming would rush over to absorb whenever he saw glowing substances.

Unless it was ordinary "Heavenly Light," he would feed the broken cloth, considering it truly a Blessed Land!

Qin Ming searched wildly across the mountains for essences fallen from Outer Heaven, relying solely on the body’s absorption and accommodation.

Towards the end, he felt a bit "overstuffed," starting to consider the broken cloth.

Actually, what Qin Ming wanted most was the liquid formed by condensation of Outer Heaven Light, which theoretically should be found on this mountain closer to the outer sky.

However, he searched for a long time without finding it.

The mountain was large, Su Shiyun, Sun Jingxiao, Leng Feiyue, and others spread out as much as possible, keeping great distance apart.

Naturally, Qin Ming wouldn’t go near them, to prevent any misunderstandings.

Not long after, he discovered where the Heavenly Light was; the roots of those strange plants were surrounded by Heavenly Light.

He directly inhaled a mouthful of Night Fog, affirming it truly was a "ground" floating in the sky!

Not long after, he saw an old woman, wearing Jade Armor, holding a Five Colored Bottle, just watering a little Heavenly Light Liquid onto a small flaming red tree.

"Child, are you looking for Heavenly Light Liquid?" She smiled kindly, with white hair, a gaunt body, and a slightly hunched back, turning from the other side of the mountain.

Qin Ming was startled, surprised there was someone here taking care of these plants.

She should be a Jade Armor Guard, a person in the Third Realm!

Rebirth, Outer Saint these two realms have many youngsters, but starting from the Third Realm "Spirit Field," young people are rare, so this path is strange; a difference of a significant realm may look like two generations of grandparent and grandchild.

Qin Ming remained calm, nodding bashfully, naturally not panicking at this time.

The old woman muttered: "Strange, how can a Newcomer be allowed to draw spiritual essence in this place co-managed by Fangwai and Esoteric Buddhism?"

"Do you want to investigate? We have booked this place with eight people, arriving together." Qin Ming took out the ticket.

The old woman smiled and walked over, saying: "It seems your talent is extraordinary, and you were specially allowed to come in following a Close Immortal Seed who favored you."

Qin Ming vaguely sensed that she was malicious, and this old thing was extremely dangerous.

He backed away, saying: "My family elders are outside, you should follow me to meet them."

"Okay!" The old woman nodded with a smile, slowly stepping forward in pursuit.

Qin Ming understood that this trouble was big, being targeted by an old fellow in the Third Realm, the issue was exceptionally serious.

He had just reached the "road" as thick as a water barrel, wanting to leap down.

The old woman smiled gently, saying: "Don’t jump, you must believe, if I, an elder in the Spirit Field Realm, explode, you will disintegrate before you finish jumping with my Life Spirit Field and Heavenly Light able to rip you apart."

She no longer masked it, indeed bearing malice.

"My family elders are outside, what are you trying to do?" Qin Ming stared at her.

"Fake elders, the real you." The old woman smiled and shook her head, further saying: "Well, we’ve already left the mountain, won’t disturb others."

"Senior, we all walk the Newborn Road, why go so far?" Qin Ming spoke.

The old woman chuckled: "Don’t be tense."

Qin Ming said nothing, quietly watching her.

"Young master..." The old woman grinned, her face full of gentleness.

This address directly raised every hair on Qin Ming’s body in alarm.

"Young master, relax, meeting here is a good thing." Holding the Five Colored Bottle with Heavenly Light Liquid, she said: "You wish for it, I’ll give it to you. However, it cannot be consumed directly; only the Spirit Fruit nurtured by it can be eaten."

"You really are like a lingering nightmare, meeting you folks even here!" Qin Ming’s face clouded over.

Such addressing him as young master and carrying malice, apart from that family, probably none other.

The old woman laughed: "Indeed, how coincidental! Years without encountering, guarding the fields above, and still meeting young master, a surprise of joy."

Qin Ming had no impression of her, estimating she wasn’t of the Cui family’s direct lineage.

"You are Cui family, from a thousand-year-old family, yet serving as Jade Armor Guard for outsiders, requiring hard labor?" Qin Ming spoke casually, seeking an opportunity to escape.

The old woman shook her head saying: "Serving as Jade Armor Guard for a direct-line genius of our family, nothing amiss. My Cui family standing isn’t low in the Fangwai Heaven Pure Land. Moreover, coming here isn’t counted as labor; such a fine place aids cultivation, a chance many seek and cannot have."

Then she smiled saying: "All self-family here, come back; they speak of your extraordinary talent, perhaps a chance to truly serve as Jade Armor Guard for Ming Chong He young master."

Qin Ming heard such things before; those who lost to him, Cui He and Cui Shuning, spoke similarly, causing considerable aversion.

Now hearing them again naturally stirred extreme dislike.

The old woman shook her head saying: "Qin Ming, are you not overly arrogant and self-reliant? You are simply a Newcomer with a dim future perspective. Given a chance to follow Ming Chong He young master, you should be satisfied. His path flows smoothly, upgrades swiftly, ultimately achieving close to Immortal. While you, albeit a mutant, will likely only linger through years unable to keep up."

"Shut your mouth!" Qin Ming coldly replied.

At this stage, his realm still low, not wanting to speak much, on future roads, who can walk further it’s uncertain.

"Youth boasts fervor, what a fine opportunity, returning now in peace would forgo many issues." The old woman shook her head saying: "Regrettably, you don’t cherish it."

Afterwards, she spoke again: "I heard you are inquiring about your grandfather through others? I can tell you."

Qin Ming said: "Speak."

"Bow your head in submission." The old woman smiled, slowly approaching.

Qin Ming bowed, looking calmly at her.

The old woman’s face didn’t appear well, as the height difference was significant, appearing as if being looked down upon.

"Speak, what’s with my grandfather?" Qin Ming asked in a deep voice.

"This attitude won’t do." She said coldly.

Suddenly, dense Heavenly Light emerged on her exterior, yet a pure white jade-like small sword pierced through the light screen, touched her forehead, producing a splatter of blood.

At this moment, both were shocked.

At such close proximity, Qin Ming employed the unique ability born during his sixth rebirth, urging the Exotic Gold-forged small sword without reservation to break through Heavenly Light, yet failing to penetrate her thoroughly.

The old woman was shaken, horrified, although stagnated upon stepping into Spirit Field Domain, lingering in the Third Realm for over a decade without progress; her Taoist attainment far exceeded that of the opponent, but her brow bone was pierced, blood flowing!

Qin Ming felt it was a life-threatening calamity for him.

Without delay, he triggered the ability manifested during the seventh rebirth.

The old woman’s Heavenly Light, Life Spirit Field also roared.

Accompanied by glaring light, the two fell from threads of pale gold "hair," plummeting below the clouds.

In the pitch-black Night Fog, blood spattered widely.
