Night Without End

Qin Ming encountered an old monster of the Fourth Realm, luckily, it was someone who had already endured significant injuries, and was still at the early stage of the Fourth Realm. Thus, although he was ambushed, he could respond calmly.

In the disbelieving and despairing eyes of the old monster, Qin Ming cleaved him apart.

Qin Ming no longer traveled openly, falling back to the ground, fighting his way forward.

This had its advantages, allowing him to find more Miracle Medicine. By the time he was fifty li from Taihe Town, Qin Ming had collected twelve herbs in total!

On a regular day, such a harvest would be unimaginable.

During the difficult journey, Qin Ming refined most of the strange blood, with the continuous battles depleting physical strength and spirit, greatly accelerating this process.

Naturally, this wasn't enough to break through the pass, but his Taoist practice was indeed progressing.

If one had to quantify it, with the nine rebirths of the First Realm corresponding to the early, mid, and late stages of the Spirit Realm, then the early stage clearly corresponds to the first three rebirths.

Qin Ming felt that he was now past the zero starting point from breaking through to the Third Realm and had entered the first level of the Spirit Field.

Along the subsequent journey, the density of demons increased sharply, obviously the area ahead was no ordinary zone, with battles being quite ferocious.

As time passed, Qin Ming refined twelve types of strange blood, and was not far from the second level of the Spirit Field.

This actually matched reality, after all, he initially collected eight types of strange blood in the World's Edge Zone, and only achieved one rebirth in the end.

This type of Blood Medicine incrementally decreased in foundational enhancement each time, so achieving such an effect this time was already very good.

The most crucial point was that he had obtained three more types of strange blood. If he continued to accumulate a few more types and refined them all, he would certainly reach the second level of the Spirit Field.

"At this rate and trend, won't I soon break through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Field?" Qin Ming was astounded himself.

After a meticulous quantification, he saw the hope of efficient advancement, as long as he continuously gathered herbs and extracted their essence in battle, he should have a great hope of achieving his goal!

"Indeed, if one doesn't die a hundred times in battle, there will definitely be a group who can rise rapidly. This was just one great battle."

In such a grand era, though dangerous, it was accompanied by various opportunities.

As he approached Huai'an Town, Qin Ming noticed the density of demons increased several times; indeed, this place was in a great chaotic battle, with both sides fighting to the death.

There's no need to guess, as there were Immortal Seeds, Heavenly Demon Species, Divine Seeds lingering here, making it a relatively important battlefield.

Upon reaching this place, in the last few li, demons appeared in groups, occasionally a group would rush from afar.

A Bird Demon spotted him and immediately led a group of fierce birds to attack.

Qin Ming carried out a massacre here, in a small area, harvesting greatly, obtaining a piece of golden tiger bone, a crystalline clear rhinoceros horn, and a Bird Demon's silver blood, three types of Miracle Medicine.

"This..." Qin Ming's eyes brightened, if he could kill a few Heavenly Demon Species in Huai'an Town, he'd surely reach the second level of the Spirit Field, perhaps even near the third level.

With that, he'd really be very close to the mid-stage of the Spirit Field!

He thought it good to subdivide further, seeing the target could provide strong motivation.

What is using battle to sustain battle? This is it! He's experiencing it all personally.

Qin Ming fought through this area, didn't rush over immediately, but instead headed towards Taihe Town, to find Ning Siqi.

Among the friends he cared about, Ning Siqi was the weakest and the most likely to have an accident.

Though he swept away the threats in Taihe Town nearly, even exterminating the Heavenly Demon Species and its followers, he feared unexpected incidents.

Finally, Qin Ming found Ning Siqi in the town, and luckily, no mishaps occurred.

Ning Siqi had a few bloody holes on him, caused by a Demon Bird bursting with its feathers when injured, even tearing a hole at the edge of his heart.

To survive such, it wasn't something significant.

When Qin Ming arrived, he took out Auspicious Beast Blood for Ning Siqi to heal and said for him to undergo a Nirvana breakthrough once.

Back in Kunleng, Qin Ming had someone sent Auspicious Beast Blood to Ning Siqi, but he politely declined, clearly fearing Qin Ming might not have enough for himself.

In fact, Qin Ming received multiple portions, more than adequate.

Ning Siqi was covered in bloodstains, and although usually fastidious, he rarely cared now. Lately, he drank deer blood raw, ate half-cooked Demon Beast Meat, and at night wrapped himself in a worn beast hide to sleep anywhere.

"Quickly consume this!" Qin Ming directly handed it to him.

"Mountain Master, I've been advancing and retreating together with Lord Ning, and I too got injured, almost died!" A talking sparrow was actually here, with one wing bandaged, splinted, and wrapped in bandages.

Its eyes sparkled, resembling jewels as they glanced around.

Ning Siqi said, "After you left, it indeed came straight to me from Huai'an Town."

"Here you go!" How could Qin Ming not know the sparrow's intentions? Given its small size, how much Auspicious Beast Blood could it drink?

"Mountain Master above, accept the reverent bow from Little Sparrow, an unforgotten debt of rebirth!" As it bowed down, the bandaged wing trembled instantly.

"Stop messing around, heal well," Qin Ming said, quickly understanding the situation here.

Indeed, all the demons were frantically heading towards Huai'an Town to fight.

Qin Ming got up, "Heal well, I'm going to take a look at Huai'an Town."

His speed was extremely fast, crossing open fields, arriving again in the densely packed demon area, directly piercing through.

He understood the severity of this place; a few Heavenly Demon Species, Divine Seeds, and Immortal Seeds fell in battle here, driving the area into madness.
