Night Without End

This place is too treacherous. Qin Ming turned the tables on two groups and reluctantly collected over a thousand Day Gold coins.

Rui City is not only the Imperial Capital of Da Rui but also one of the ten famous cities in Ye State, indeed with extraordinary grandeur.

Within this majestic giant city, there is a Spirit Lake that shimmers with Golden Radiance year-round, auspicious energy billows, and even in the harsh winter, it does not freeze.

It's said that, with continued development, it has the opportunity to become a Blessed Land like Rui Lake.

This causes sights of multiple historic sites around the lake, with temples, the Heaven Reaching Giant Tower, and a millennial ancient tree revived after being struck by lightning...it's all there.

"Forget it, since the deal didn't go through, I'll just visit this famous city." Qin Ming strolled along the lakeshore, where at that moment, the Spirit Lake with golden ripples had lotuses blooming everywhere, auspicious energy pervasive.

And with the snow-covered white shores as a backdrop, the splendor of Spirit Lake appeared even more extraordinary.

Some people were boating, immortal fog lingering, Golden Radiance spreading, bamboo rafts gliding leisurely, exuding a certain charm.

"Brother Ming!" One of the boaters communicated with Qin Ming.

Qin Ming naturally recognized it long ago; it was Xiao Wu, who actually had such leisure to come to Da Rui to wander the lake.

Wu Yaizu waved with delight, as the bamboo raft approached the shore, saying, "Brother Ming, get on, let's boat together."

"Why are you here?" Qin Ming asked.

"Attending a gathering." Xiao Wu informed that the group of youngsters from the "Pu Gong Country" often meets with seed-level figures from Ye State for exchanges.

Pu Gong Country refers to that southwestern vast and splendid human civilization domain.

Wu Yaizu said, "They actually want to invite you, but you were out of contact, so when someone found me, they immediately extended an invitation."

He guessed that those people wanted to invite Qin Ming out through him.

"By the way, Brother Ming, didn't you appear in Da Yu Imperial City six days ago? How did you suddenly disappear again?"

Qin Ming said, "These days, I've been wandering around the black market, haven't paid attention to other things."

Wu Yaizu said, "Brother Ming, in three days, go with me to the gathering and see how extraordinary those young talents from Pu Gong Country are."

Qin Ming shook his head; he was really uninterested in battling. In Western Territory, he asked for blood when he acted, and he had no interest in friendly sparring now.

Because he felt that exchanges ultimately couldn't avoid duels.

Wu Yaizu laughed and said, "Brother Ming, you're overthinking it. This time, blood battles are strictly prohibited; it's really just an exchange of Scriptures. I've heard they even brought a valuable True Scripture."

Qin Ming was intrigued, saying, "If that's the case, going to the gathering isn't impossible."

For the next three days, Qin Ming carefully perused Nightly News and World Report to understand those young talents from Pu Gong Country. It really was a case of not knowing until seeing; seeing it was entrancing.

He asked Xiao Wu, "Why do I feel that Nightly News is obsessed with foreign things, lauding a group of Outer Domain talents to the sky? Are they truly so formidable?"

Wu Yaizu looked and sighed, "That group is indeed extraordinary, but such excessive praise is over the top!"

In recent times, Nightly News often discussed exchanges between young people from the two great civilizations, saying it could mutually promote, but often shifted the emphasis to praise Pu Gong Country's geniuses.

Terms like young Saints, future Super Pathfinders, filled with all kinds of accolades.

Even though Qin Ming just started reading Nightly News and World Report, he was already extremely familiar with some people, flipping through casually, he felt those names were already as resounding as thunder.

"Jian Huaidao, Xie Lin, Feng Qi Wu, Mu Yunzhou, Lu Wei..."

Among them were descendants and disciples of travelers, and descendants of Pu Gong Country's immortal Taoist lineage.

"The famous clan that has survived four thousand years, Earth Immortal residing, Xie Family..." this was the text snippet from Nightly News.

Qin Ming finally understood why Nightly News praised them so much, some people's status was truly remarkable, like a young man named Xie Lin, whose clan had an Earth Immortal.

"Sevenfold Sun Overlay, True Dragon in the sky..." Then, Qin Ming read about Jian Huaidao's background.

This made him show a surprised look, indeed big names sent their descendants over.

"Mu Yunzhou is the one looking for me, wanting face-to-face exchange. He mastered the Three Imperial Power at the First Realm and approached the late stage, and he might have practiced Hunyuan Force."

Qin Ming quietly murmured, after understanding some people's backgrounds, he was quite expectant, wanting to see their caliber.

Xiao Wu also rubbed his hands eagerly, wanting to witness the direct descendants of Earth Immortal, and the more mysterious offspring of Sevenfold Sun Overlay, to see if they were extraordinary, did they grow three heads and six arms?

Mainly because Nightly News, World Report recently reported extensively, some names seemed to have been endowed with brilliant halos, almost to the point that they were known by everyone.

Wu Yaizu said, "I dare say, if there are Earth Immortal, Sevenfold Sun Overlay practitioners invading Ye State, some major organizations' people would definitely become guides."

Saying that, he tossed Nightly News onto the table.

Immediately, he seemed to recall something, reminded, "Brother Ming, if you want to attend the gathering, you have to prepare a Scripture or Cultivation Technique for exchange anyway."

"Hmm, that's easy to handle." Qin Ming nodded, casually pulling out a copy of "Zhili Ape Demon Scripture."

This was given to him by Tang Xumi, fulfilling a promise, while in the Pure Land.

Wu Yaizu glanced at it, fell silent instantly, really wanted to say: will this work?

But very quickly he nodded, "It will definitely work, the key is Brother Ming you personally attending, presumably there will be many interested. In previous gatherings, many mentioned you."

According to him, Qin Ming though had not appeared, his name constantly circulated in various occasions.

"Am I considered a celebrity now?" Qin Ming chuckled helplessly.

Wu Yaizu nodded, saying, "Absolutely, it's only in recent times, Jian Huaidao, Xie Lin, Feng Qi Wu, Mu Yunzhou, etc., have been mentioned repeatedly, Nightly News adorned them with Divine Rings, otherwise previously mentioning young celebrities, would certainly never overlook Brother Ming."

Time rushed by, the three days swiftly passed, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu attended the gathering on time.

This exchange meeting's venue was naturally within Rui City.

Spirit Lake, shimmering waves, groups of Five Colored Dragon Carp, a large ship floating at the lake center, the gathering place.

Some small boats were already waiting at the shore, responsible for receiving various seed-level talents.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu, even from far away, already spotted some familiar faces, like the most renowned figures of Esoteric Buddhism, Divine Seeds Zhao Qingcheng, Cheng Cheng, and others.

Suddenly, Qin Ming felt something, looked towards the distant crowd, an elderly man hurrying as if just arriving from afar, with many snowflakes on him.

It was a renowned elder from Cui Family, who took out a brocade box from his coat, handed it to Cui Chonghe who had been waiting for a long time.

In an instant, Qin Ming's body tensed, eyes became extraordinarily profound, he felt that brocade box was very familiar, during childhood, Cui Family seemed to have placed his silk scripture in that box.

What is Cui Family trying to do? They've never returned his silk scripture, actually brought it to this occasion.

For a moment, Qin Ming couldn't help pondering, could Cui Chonghe intend to exchange for a Cultivation Technique using that scripture?

Immediately he thought, some people suspected he had no Guiding, yet mastered Chaos Force, could it be they thought the True Scripture he comprehended was special? Hence those individuals communicated with Cui Family, wanting to exchange scriptures here and study.
