Pure Yang Art at Perfect Mastery, Looted Clean
[Eighth-Rank Pure Yang Art (Second Stage): (20000/20000) Perfect Mastery]
The moment Qin Ming reached the perfect state of the Pure Yang Skill, a tiny flame silently formed in the center of his dantian.
Strangely enough, as soon as the flame appeared, the surrounding Yin Qi instantly dissipated, as if it were extremely afraid of the flame and dared not approach it at all.
On the contrary, the three strands of Pure Yang Power cheered and immediately threw themselves into the flames, merging with them.
After merging with the three strands of Pure Yang Power, the flames quickly intensified and stopped flickering.
"This... could this be Pure Yang Fire?"
Qin Ming was greatly alarmed.
Pure Yang Power, Pure Yang Fire...
Qin Ming never expected that after Perfect Mastery the Pure Yang Art, he would possess a Pure Yang Fire. Even though this Pure Yang Fire seemed weak, it was the nemesis of all evil spirits!
As the Pure Yang Fire circulates through the body in a Greater Celestial Circuit, the Yin Qi melts away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
These Yin Qi were formed from the medicinal power of the Yin Medicine, and they themselves contained a large amount of Spiritual Qi. After being burned by the Pure Yang Fire, the Yin Qi dissipated, leaving only Spiritual Qi. Qin Ming used the "Fire Poison Art" to devour and refine all the Spiritual Qi.
On the panel, the points for the "Fire Poison Art" are increasing at an extremely terrifying rate.
At the same time, under the scorching heat of the Pure Yang Fire, the yin rope binding Qin Ming was quickly burned off.
[Add 1000 Free Attribute Points]
This Yin Rope is Ghost Artifact, granting Qin Ming another thousand Free Attribute Points.
Freed from the Yin Ropes, Qin Ming sat cross-legged in the Ghost Furnace and began to refine it with all his might.
He absorbed all the Yin Qi transformed from the surrounding Yin Medicine into his body, and after being burned by the Pure Yang Fire, he refined it into the purest Spiritual Qi.
His martial arts realm started at the Perfected Flesh-Refining Realm and is now striving towards the Bone Refining Realm!
Outside the Ghost Furnace, two female ghosts lay on top of Ghost Furnace, listening intently.
"There seems to be no movement now, and the Yin Qi is starting to dissipate. It looks like that kid is dead."
"Great! Now all we need to do is refine his physical body into Human Pill."
"Add more fuel to the fire!"
Beneath the Ghost Furnace, the flames of the ghost fire suddenly surged.
After an unknown amount of time, there was no longer a trace of Yin Qi in the Ghost Furnace. Qin Ming closed his eyes tightly, and crackling sounds came from within his body.
That's his bones cracking and reforming.
In a short period of time, Qin Ming's bones fractured and reformed three times.
After the first split and subsequent reconstruction, his bones turned the color of black iron.
After the second split and regeneration, his bones turned bronze in color.
After the third split and regeneration, his bones turned Silver.
"The Silver Bone Refining Realm, according to Elder Wei, means that once I reach the Silver Bone, I can enter Wangjing Prefecture with a recommendation token."
Qin Ming murmured to himself.
He had now reached the Silver Bone stage of the Bone Refining Realm, but the Recommendation Token was snatched away by the Silver Dragon. Not only that, but the silver notes and the Butcher's Knife on his body were also taken by the silver dragon, and he was almost killed by the Silver Dragon with a single palm strike.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming's eyes were filled with hatred, and his heart was burning with rage. He wished he could immediately cleave the Silver Dragon in two with a single strike.
But he was well aware of the Silver Dragon's power.
A master of Dark Strength!
Even the black-robed man and the skeleton man working together were no match for the Silver Dragon, let alone the Silver Dragon, which has made a great contribution this time and will surely increase its strength considerably after receiving the reward.
After Dark Strength comes Xiantian.
Those with Xiantian strength can briefly fly, injure people with a breath, kill with a plucked leaf, and have their lifespan increased by one hundred years!
Only by breaking through the Xiantian can one truly be called a powerful figure.
It will be no easy task for Qin Ming to retrieve the Butcher's Knife.
More importantly, without the token, even if he reaches the Silver Bone, he will not be able to enter Wangjing Prefecture.
Moreover, once Silver Dragon finds out that he is still alive, he will definitely kill him to silence him. If he dares to go to Wangjing Prefecture, he will be courting death!
Now that the martial arts techniques from Wangjing Prefecture are gone, one must find another way to search for the martial arts one desires.
"Silver Dragon! You stole my treasure, ruined my future, and even tried to kill me to silence me! Once my cultivation breaks through to the Dark Strength, I will surely slay you!"
Qin Ming's eyes were bloodshot. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
Without the Wangjing Prefecture route, he could only try every possible way to improve his strength.
"Senior Brother Lu once said that the bones in the Bone Refining Realm are divided into four levels: iron, bronze, silver, and gold. I have only reached the Silver Bone level so far."
Upon internal inspection, Qin Ming quickly discovered that his snow-white, silvery bones were covered with numerous golden spots.
Although he hasn't reached the Golden Bone Realm, he's not far off. If he learns a few more martial arts techniques, he'll have a chance to rebuild himself.
There are only two ways to reshape bones.
One was to learn a large number of external martial arts techniques, and the other was to soak in precious body-refining medicinal liquid.
Both methods require an extremely long time, with the second method requiring a massive amount of silver, starting from a young age and costing at least several thousand taels of silver per month. Only wealthy Lineage could afford it.
Compared to the second method, the first method is only theoretically feasible and practically impossible to succeed.
No one would waste a lot of time learning external martial arts, let alone simply learning them and then cultivating them to a certain level.
With his panel, Qin Ming is undoubtedly more suited to the first option, allowing him to forge a path that is unprecedented and unparalleled.
Even Qin Ming, who had mastered many Perfect Mastery martial arts techniques, only reached the Silver Bone Realm, which shows how difficult it is to succeed on the first path. Only Qin Ming, with his ability to manipulate the system panel, could possibly succeed on this path.
Finally, the cracking sounds from the bones inside my body gradually subsided.
Qin Ming slowly clenched his fist, feeling a surge of immense power naturally generated from within.
"The Bone Refining Realm! This is the Bone Refining Realm!"
Qin Ming closed his eyes, quietly sensing the changes in his body.
Power originates from the bones. After entering the Bone Refining Realm, his strength increased greatly. After undergoing three reorganizations, his bones became several times stronger than before, and his shoulder bone, which was almost cracked by the Silver Dragon's palm, was restored to its original state.
With his martial arts realm breakthrough and the Perfect Mastery of the second stage of the Pure Yang Art, Qin Ming's true combat strength is now infinitely close to the Blood Refining Realm.
"The man in black robes said he needed to go into seclusion for three days to heal his injuries, and not a day has passed yet. This is the perfect opportunity to leave!"
Qin Ming looked around.
Ghostly figures filled the alchemy furnace, with illusory ghostly figures floating in mid-air.
These are all illusions within the Ghost Furnace, because the Ghost Furnace itself is a Ghost Artifact, and it appears to be quite old.
Since it was Ghost Artifact, Qin Ming naturally had no reason to let it go, so he placed his palm on the inner wall of the alchemy furnace.
Soon, a large amount of Yin Qi surged into his body through his palm, and was then absorbed by the panel, turning into Free Attribute Points.
The sheer amount of ghostly Yin Qi contained in this Ghost Furnace far exceeded Qin Ming's expectations.
Qin Ming then understood why he had gained one Free Attribute Points every half hour – it was because of the Ghost Furnace!
The Ghost Furnace was obtained by the man in black robes by chance. It is an antique with a considerable history. However, the man in black robes did not know how to refine pills and abandoned it in a corner for a long time until he took it out again when refining Human Pills.
Large gusts of Yin Qi energy and ghostly energy surged into Qin Ming's palm, then were absorbed by the panel and transformed into Free Attribute Points.
The aura of the Ghost Furnace weakened at a visible rate, the once gleaming furnace body became dull and lifeless, and the ghostly illusions disappeared. In the end, the Ghost Furnace cracked with hundreds of fissures.
What's going on?
The female ghosts in Red-Clad Female Ghost and white were terrified and hastily retreated.
The next moment, a loud "bang" was heard, and the Ghost Furnace suddenly exploded, with countless fragments shooting out. A figure rushed out of the furnace and, taking advantage of the two women's shock, struck them with a palm each.
"Pfft!"
Qin Ming's palm strike carried Fire Poison, and the powerful force pierced directly through the two women's chests. The Fire Poison spread rapidly along the palm print, and in the blink of an eye, the two women's bodies were filled with Fire Poison. They collapsed to the ground in pain, their bodies convulsing.
Previously, Qin Ming was only at the Perfected Flesh-Refining Realm, but now that he has broken through to the Bone Refining Realm, the power of the Fire Poison Art Technique has greatly increased. The Fire Poison Power alone is enough to make the two women suffer unbearable pain.
Qin Ming looked around, quickly surveying his surroundings.
Here, deep in the canyon, it is dark and damp, with dappled sunlight filtering through the dense ancient trees in the distance.
"Where am I? Answer me!"
Qin Ming grabbed the Red-Clad Female Ghost and lifted her up in his hand.
Want to know? I'm not telling you.
The Red-Clad Female Ghost sneered repeatedly.
"Yeah?"
Qin Ming looked at the white-clad female ghost, "You call her 'sister,' so you probably don't want to see her suffer, right?"
"What do you mean? Come at me if you have a problem!"
The Red-Clad Female Ghost screamed.
Qin Ming seemed not to hear, extended his five fingers, and the Fire Poison Power immediately ignited and covered his palm. He used Eagle Claw Skill Kung Fu, gripping the white-clothed female ghost's forehead tightly. The Fire Poison desperately drilled into the female ghost's brain, causing her to convulse violently in pain. Her ghostly body became more and more transparent, and it looked like it was about to completely dissipate.
"Let her go, I'll tell you everything!"
The white-clad female ghost ultimately chose to compromise and told Qin Ming that this place was the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
"Where is your Master? Where is he? Tell me!"
Qin Ming coldly pressed her for answers. Seeing the other party hesitate, Qin Ming suddenly exerted force with his large hand, and the white-clad female ghost suddenly let out a scream, her face contorted.
"Don't hurt her, I'll tell you everything."
The Red-Clad Female Ghost gritted her teeth.
Upon learning that the man in black robes was in seclusion dozens of miles away, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Why did he go so far away?
"There's a natural burial ground there; the Master always goes into seclusion there."
"Who are you? What is the Ghost Mansion's power, and what is the strength of its strongest member?"
Qin Ming extracted a lot of useful information from the Red-Clad Female Ghost, but she gave ambiguous answers to some questions Red-Clad Female Ghost didn't know the answers to.
What shocked Qin Ming the most was that the man in black robes was actually human, not Ghost Entity.
He simply switched to the path of ghosts and became a ghost cultivator.
As for the two female ghosts, they were both Ghost Slaves controlled by the man in black robes, obeying his orders.
The Red-Clad Female Ghost Wan'er.
The white-clad female ghost is named Ling'er.
They had forgotten all their memories of their lives, and their names were given arbitrarily by the man in the black robe.
Led by Ling'er, Qin Ming successfully arrived at the location of the black-robed man's treasure.
The man in black robes went into seclusion to heal his injuries, leaving some useless items lying around in his residence.
These Ghost Artifacts all carried some Yin Qi, and Qin Ming unceremoniously used the panel to absorb all of Yin Qi.
Without the support of Yin Qi, these Yin Artifact quickly turned into powder, which dissipated rapidly like quicksand when the wind blew.
Ling'er and Wan'er exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with confusion and shock.
They thought of the Ghost Furnace not long ago, which seemed to have reached the end of its life in a short time and finally fell apart.
Qin Ming swept the black-robed man's lair clean, draining all the Yin Qi from all the Yin Artifacts. In addition, the lair contained mountains of gold and silver jewelry, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes, all accumulated by the black-robed man over the years.
Qin Ming packed up all the silver notes and discarded the rest of the gold and silver. Then he opened a large iron box, which was filled with martial arts manuals, at least several hundred at first glance!
"The Master has a penchant for collecting martial arts manuals; these are all part of Master collection."
Wan'er said.
Qin Ming grabbed the edge of the iron box, lifted it up, and then suddenly flipped it over, dumping all the cultivation manuals inside.
Qin Ming's gaze swept quickly across the martial arts manuals, one after another, and he soon had read through them all.
He selected several books and put them into his bag, leaving the rest on the ground.
Although the man in black robes had a large collection of martial arts techniques, most of them were only of the ninth rank, with average power, and were of little use to him, not even worth mentioning.
Fortunately, Qin Ming found two Horizontal Training Martial Arts, one manual on body techniques, and one rare manual on throwing darts among them, for a total of four manuals.
After confirming that nothing was missed, Qin Ming had Wan'er lead the way, and the two ghosts quickly left the canyon.
The instant they stepped out of the canyon, the black-robed man, who was in seclusion healing his wounds at the corpse-raising ground dozens of miles away, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes blazing with fury:
"You two lowly maids, trying to run away again?!"
