Bathing in Light, New Life

At Red Haze Mountain, in the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall, lightning flashed and fireballs rolled across the bright tiles, a spectacle that drew the admiration of many nobles.

On the other side, weeping could be heard as some family members came to claim the bodies, their faces filled with unconcealed grief.

"This guy doesn't seem like a good person; he deliberately let the corpse absorb more Heavenly Light and Spiritual Matter inside."

Two people were whispering nearby. They glanced at Qin Ming's body collector; as fellow professionals, they knew the ins and outs of the business.

"That's going too far."

"Wait, something's not right. Look at the body he pulled out; it doesn't seem to be badly damaged, about the same size as the first batch he pulled out."

The two looked surprised and immediately leaned closer to take a closer look.

The sky was covered with thick clouds, with lightning and thunder. The ground was bathed in rosy light, and the entire mountain was not dark at all; in fact, it was quite bright. One could clearly see that Qin Ming had died a gruesome death, and his exposed skin was completely black.

Actually, he deliberately painted it black, so his true appearance is no longer visible.

Upon seeing the intact corpse, Xu Hai's heart skipped a beat. Had he accidentally killed a Heavenly Prodigy because of his delay?

He slowly reached for the rope only after the sixth descent of Heavenly Light, and the seventh descent of Heavenly Light seemed to have slightly touched him as well.

"Old Xu, weren't you too late? This guy is incredibly powerful; he can withstand the Thunderfire Heavenly Light." Someone said.

Xu Hai remained calm and said, "What are you thinking? I had already pulled him out of the Golden Hall beforehand, I just didn't pull him back immediately."

Someone nearby nodded and said, "That's true. He doesn't seem very old; one or two beams of Heavenly Light and he'd be blown away."

Qin Ming remembered the name Xu Hai. This guy was talking nonsense. Anyone else would have died if they were tortured like this in the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall.

He had already mastered the Secret Method of blending in Light Harmony the world to its fullest extent, and now he was no different from a corpse.

Qin Ming sighed inwardly. This area was full of "familiar faces." He knew Old Zhao, who was seventy-two years old, at least eighty percent of the time, but his body was not yet fully pieced together.

Apart from a group of old men hoping for Withered Tree Meets Spring, everyone else had their own hardships that led them to this place.

If given a choice, no able-bodied young man would be willing to risk his life here. Some have enemies who drive them to despair, some have been bullied and forced to the point of not being able to survive, and some are death row inmates.

The Earth Haze was shrouded in mist and drizzle, and the penetrating sound of suona horns rang out. Then, some coffins were carried up the mountain, accompanied by bursts of weeping.

These are all family members of elderly people of high status, who have come to take the bodies back.

Xu Hai found a relatively clean piece of black cloth, wrapped Qin Ming in it, and carried him down the mountain.

Qin Ming thought to himself, "Fortunately, Xu Hai was quite dedicated in this regard and didn't just throw the 'corpse' away carelessly, otherwise he would definitely have had to come back to life a second time."

But he quickly changed his mind!

"Old Xu, how much is this Thunder Meat? It looks pretty intact, give it to me, I'll deliver it to the mansion of a high-ranking nobleman for you."

Before he even descended the mountain, someone approached Xu Hai, indicating that similar transactions had occurred before.

Xu Hai said, "This is a top-quality Medicine Man. I let him 'settle' there for quite a while, absorbing at least six or seven waves of Heavenly Light and rare Spiritual Matter."

Stop lying!

"Fine, don't believe me then. Besides, I don't plan to sell the whole Thunder Meat this time. If you want it, I can sell you a few pounds. After all, the employer paid a high price, and I can't really lose the body. Kidneys, heart, you can take what you want."

Qin Ming was deeply surprised to encounter some man-eating "demons and monsters".

Xu Hai carried Qin Ming down the mountain, and four groups of people approached him one after another, expressing their desire to buy a few kilograms of the product, and they had already begun to bargain.

During this process, Qin Ming could no longer bear it. He used his Yellow Mud Palm, which he had never used on anyone before, and quietly pressed it on Xu Hai's back. The Supple Force was very subtle and would not erupt immediately. It would take several days for Xu Hai to cough up blood.

Soon, Qin Ming's body began to heat up continuously, and he felt that if he delayed any longer, there was a risk of being exposed.

The Thunderfire and Heavenly Light, combined with the light of heaven, gave birth to a special Spiritual Matter, which is now taking effect; his Fourth New Life has officially begun.

"Let me tell you, this isn't one of those old fogies. This is a young man with delicate skin and tender flesh. If you don't believe me, come and touch him. His body isn't stiff yet, and it's still warm."

"Xu Hai, what are you doing!" Xu Sheng arrived, completely shrouded in black robes, and was furious. Luckily, he hadn't waited at the foot of the mountain, otherwise his brother's corpse would have been sold off.

With a bang, he kicked Xu Hai away, caught Qin Ming, and carried him quickly down the mountain.

Upon seeing him at the foot of the mountain, Wu Zheng immediately cried out in sorrow, "Alas, Brother Qin, may you rest in peace. I hope you are reborn into a wealthy family in your next life, preferably Millennium Aristocratic Family, so you won't have to work so hard."

Xu Sheng sighed and said, "Little Qin wouldn't listen to advice and died young, it's such a pity!"

Soon, he sensed something was wrong; his back was getting increasingly hot, and at the same time, he heard a very faint whisper, "Brother Xu, find a secluded place."

Xu Sheng's hand trembled, and he almost threw the body away.

"It's come back to life?!" Wu Zheng's eyes widened.

Soon after, Qin Ming washed his face with clean water in the dense forest and changed into a brand new set of clothes.

"I actually saw someone who survived the impact of the Heavenly Light walk out alive from the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall!" Xu Sheng was deeply shocked.

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded, then excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Qin, you're truly amazing! You managed to come out alive from that pile of dead bodies!"

"Let's talk when we get back!" Qin Ming was the first to leave. His body was burning hot, almost steaming, and he needed to get back to the inn as soon as possible.

Soon after, he finished his bath and thoroughly washed away the ashes, but was quickly engulfed by white mist again. This time, his transformation was extremely violent.

Besides the divinely bestowed Spiritual Matter, a great deal of Heavenly Light entered his body, raging and surging throughout his entire being, almost setting him ablaze.

At this moment, Qin Ming could no longer suppress it no matter what Secret Method he used. He began to guide the chaotic beam of light with the New Life Method on the Silk Scripture.

It must be said that the Heavenly Light in the secluded place was too domineering, like molten iron, almost burning a person through; ordinary people really couldn't withstand it.

This wasn't the first time Qin Ming had been eroded by the Heavenly Light, but this time the Heavenly Light amount of it was overwhelming.

He drank a lot of cold water, but his whole body was still constantly steaming.

Wu Zheng said, "Brother Qin is about to become an immortal! It feels almost like he's riding the clouds. Even a hermit Beyond the Mundane People can't compare."

"It was the surging Heavenly Light of the heavens that made him feel as if he had returned to his mother's womb, or as if he had been born bathed in light. His New Life was much more intense than that of ordinary people!" Xu Sheng exclaimed.

Soon, the two left the courtyard that Qin Ming had specially booked at the inn for the New Life, feeling it was inappropriate to watch any longer.

"I don't know whether to thank Xu Hai or curse him." The Heavenly Light within Qin Ming's body was unusually strong.

He endured excruciating pain as he combed through the Worldly Heavenly Light, merging it with the Heavenly Light born from his own body. They became one, each containing the other, transforming into a new Heavenly Light, undergoing a gradual qualitative change.

Qin Ming gathered all the Heavenly Light into his abdomen, compressing it infinitely, like a sphere of light, and merging it to the extreme, forcing it to transform, making it increasingly dazzling.

Then, he released the dazzling round pill, letting it erupt chaotically once again. The Heavenly Light transformed into thousands upon thousands of rays, rushing into his flesh, bones, and internal organs, burning like raging flames.

This was like a massive explosion of Heavenly Light.

Doing this is extremely dangerous; it could easily cost you your life.

However, since this is how the New Life Method is recorded on the Silk Scripture, it is conceivable that an even more dangerous process followed.

Qin Ming heard the sound of a tsunami in his ears; it was the expanding, fierce eruption of the Heavenly Light, which made him dizzy and as if he was about to be overwhelmed.

It's clearly a New Life, but it feels like going through a death ordeal!

Qin Ming had some doubts. He suspected that the people who researched and created the Silk Book Method were simply trying to make future generations walk a path of life and death, and that many of their successors probably died.

Otherwise, the New Life Method described in this Silk Scripture would not have been abandoned by later generations and swept into the dust of history.

This contradicts the original intentions of the founders, who wanted to break free from constraints and forge a completely new path, only to find that the existing path was actually easier to follow.

Finally, Qin Ming's eyes regained their clarity; he had made it through.

"The methods in the Silk Scripture are too dangerous, but as long as you can withstand them and survive the trials, the power you gain is indeed strong enough, and your physical fitness will be far superior to that of other New Life Evolver."

Qin Ming merged with the Heavenly Light nine times in a row, compressing it, and then let it erupt.

By the ninth time, the sphere of light within him had shrunk considerably. Primal Chaos Unification, where the Worldly Heavenly Light and the Heavenly Light within the human body assimilated, resulting in a complete qualitative change.

After a short rest, Qin Ming went to practice several of the newly acquired Heavenly Light Force techniques.

The Supple Force originates from an ancient book in Golden Chicken Ridge. It is a composite type of Heavenly Light Force Method and is the foundation of Yellow Mud Palm.

He had already figured it out and knew how to practice; what he lacked was simply the amount of Heavenly Light.

Today, he was "enlightened" by the Worldly Heavenly Light in the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall, which was even more effective than consuming the Three-Colored Flower. He then practiced Supple Force, continuously pushing his level upward.

The feeling of practicing this method of internal strength was so wonderful that Qin Ming was completely immersed in it, unable to extricate himself. He perfected the Supple Force to perfection, and the power of his Yellow Mud Palm strikes increased dramatically.

Afterwards, he practiced the Hammer Force and Whip Force from the newly acquired hammer technique book, and again, there was no more stagnation. As the Heavenly Light Force advanced, both techniques were perfected.

Qin Ming unexpectedly discovered that the mysterious Explosive Force he obtained from the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall was perfectly compatible with the Hammer Force and Whip Force, as if they were originally one.

Once all three types of Heavenly Light Force were mastered, they automatically merged into one, and when he practiced that hammer technique again, its power increased dramatically.

"Back then, when I wielded the Long-handled Black Gold Hammer at Black White Mountain, I was actually demonstrating swordsmanship; it could be called Hammer Saber."

Now Qin Ming draws his Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber and unleashes his hammer technique, which can be called "Saber Hammer"!

Finally, all the techniques he had mastered were integrated into his original Heavenly Light Force Technique, causing it to transform once again and significantly increase in power!

He can still use Supple Force, Intercepting Force, Explosive Force, etc. separately, but once they are all integrated into one, that's when he's about to reveal his trump card and unleash devastating power.

Inside the inn, Xu Sheng and Wu Zheng were both surprised to hear a thunderous sound coming from Qin Ming's courtyard.

"No wonder Little Qin kept a low profile this time, managing to deceive everyone and even want to enter the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall a second time. He truly possesses a talent that is beyond the reach of ordinary people," Xu Sheng sighed.

A wave of sleepiness washed over him, but Qin Ming didn't immediately fall asleep. Instead, he sat quietly in his room, knowing that his world might be completely different when he woke up.
