107: Chapter 70: From the Depths of the Mountains to the Fragrance of the City 107: Chapter 70: From the Depths of the Mountains to the Fragrance of the City Zuixia Tower was bustling with patrons, all tables were fully occupied.
The topic of Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall was extrely popular; almost every newcor was discussing it.
After all, ti was drawing near, less than half a month left; it would arrive in the blink of an eye.
“I’m looking forward to the snow lting, Spring Thunder booming, and the sprouting of grass and trees.
This year, I, Mr.
Zhao, am prepared to go all out.
I’m already 72 years old, and I’ll have no regrets even if I die there.
But just imagine, if I succeed in cultivating the Thunderfire Alchemy Body, I’ll experience a second spring!”
“Let’s wish Mr.
Zhao a rejuvenation, may he obtain rebirth through the baptism of Thunder Fire Sky Light and have another son next year.”
“Such words stir my heart too.
How many chances does one get in life to fight?
Thirty years later, when I’m 72, I’ll also step into the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall and gamble one last ti!”
Qin Ming now noticed that the majority of newcors in Zuixia Tower were young adults, with a number of much older ones.
There were not as many under twenty years old like him and Wu Zheng.
Xu Cheng said, “Most of the newcors who co here are ‘rogues’ who haven’t joined any local organizations or sects, nor are they from noble backgrounds.”
Of course, becoming a newcor was no simple matter; so of the experts here were incredibly formidable, possessing strong charisma.
They could rally a large group of people to enter the mountains when encountering tricky mutant beasts.
Then, Qin Ming asked a question he was deeply concerned about, “Brother Xu, what level of newcor is allowed to enter the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall?”
Clearly, those who have undergone rebirth three or four tis would have a much higher chance of survival than those who’ve only done so once or twice.
“Anyone can go in.
Generally speaking, if it’s one’s first rebirth, enduring a bolt of Thunder Fire Sky Light in the Copper Hall should be enough, and those thirsting for a Second Rebirth should withstand two bolts…
But after withstanding the respective number of bolts for your level, do you still expect to co out alive?”
Xu Cheng explained that even if there were people outside the hall ready to help, with ropes prepared to pull soone out at the critical mont, it would be of no use; the only difference would be whether the body was intact or utterly disintegrated—either way, they were dead.
Qin Ming pondered that if he were to go to the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall, he would need to endure at least four bolts of Heavenly Light.
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, “It seems I need to follow the example of that old gentleman and wait until I’m in my seventies or eighties to go.”
Xu Cheng laughed, “Haha, fair point, I’ll wait until I’m a hundred years old.”
Qin Ming asked, “If soone can withstand the baptism of Thunder Fire Sky Light, can they go again next ti, and will it still be effective?”
“Being baptized once is already a blessing from the heavens; you want to go a second ti?
But now that you ntion it, I do recall such a person,” said Xu Cheng.
After a brief pause and reflection, he continued, “Dozens of years ago, a young man survived for two consecutive years.
In the third year, he went again, sowhat arrogant, thinking he could withstand that ‘divine grace’ once more, but he t a tragic death.”
Xu Cheng explained that the young man ca from a significant background and had an exceptional constitution.
Most importantly, his Xinsheng Skill ca from an incredibly rare Secret Book that, at higher levels, could manifest lightning with a punch.
Wu Zheng was shocked, suddenly feeling that his Gun and Arrow Double Excellence scripture was less appealing.
Xu Cheng was also full of desire, remarking, “That’s a rare Secret Book capable of cultivating special abilities, related to thunder and lightning; that’s why he dared to go.
Ordinary people simply couldn’t withstand it.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was also itching with desire.
He knew that such top-level legacies were definitely in the hands of astonishing Taoist lineages and secretive large organizations.
Xu Cheng added, “A hundred years ago, there was an even more arrogant person who withstood two Spring Thunders.
He wanted to attempt the more violent Sumr Thunder and ended up crawling out of the Golden Hall with wails, severely eroded by the Heavenly Light, his head glowing red, soon after, his brains were thoroughly cooked.”
“Gentlen, there’s trouble in the mountains!
A spiritual creature that has mutated five tis appeared in Fire Cloud Ridge, and Liang Yukan is leading the hunt.
They’ve severely wounded the creature, but they’ve also suffered heavy losses and are struggling to hold on.
They’re calling for help now, saying those who see this get a share!”
A middle-aged man rushed up to Zuixia Tower and quickly announced the news.
“Fire Cloud Ridge?
Isn’t that where the prized Fire Qilin Bird reigns?
They have the guts to venture into such a dangerous territory?”
“I didn’t clarify, it’s the woods outside Fire Cloud Ridge, an area fit for hunting!”
“Let’s go!”
With a whoosh, many newcors from Zuixia Tower rushed out, their interest piqued.
Since that mutant beast was already heavily injured, they could first go to assess the situation and take action if the opportunity was right.
Xu Cheng comnted, “The reputation of Liang Yukan’s people isn’t bad.”
“Shall we also join the excitent?” Qin Ming’s eyes shone with eager light.
“Xiao Qin, aren’t you a bit too impatient?
You haven’t even found an inn yet; haven’t put down your luggage, and you want to rush into the deep mountains to hunt?”
Despite what Xu Cheng said, he was tempted too and asked, “How many tis have you been reborn?”
“Twice,” responded Qin Ming, sowhat evasively.
Xu Cheng nodded, “Alright, when you get there, keep your distance and just watch to broaden your horizons.
Even if that mutant beast is dying, you cannot get close.”
Wu Zheng also coveted the opportunity but understood that he wasn’t strong enough; having been newly reborn once, he lacked even the qualifications to spectate.
A large crowd left through the North City Gate, trudging through knee-deep snow, quickly entering the forest of the mountains.
Shallow Night, Chixia City shone as if it were Day.
Upon entering the forest, as they felt the darkness of the night, so adjusted for a mont before starting to hurry along.
