Night without Borders

Chapter 569 Meow, the sky has fallen!

(Update time is broken, I'll update at noon next time.)
Seeing his smugness, Tang Yushang felt uneasy and had a bad feeling. Just like in the past, every time she puffed out her chest and made tough statements, she would end up being disappointed.

"With your arrogance and self-importance, I'm afraid I'd get beaten nine times in three days if I followed you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming reassured her, saying, "This is my blessed land, abundant with spiritual objects and brimming with heavenly fortune. Follow me, and we will surely return with a full harvest."

Qin Ming led the way, venturing deeper into this world.

Along the way, the night fog lingered, the land was vast, and there were all sorts of amazing sights.

Just like before her eyes, even Tang Yushang was stunned, staring in astonishment at what lay ahead.

The dragon veins rise and fall, with majestic immortal mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. Among them, four great peaks soar into the clouds, each with a waterfall thousands of feet long, each with a different color.

Those were actually four kinds of super fire springs—gold, silver, purple, and blue—flowing down from the mountain, creating an extremely magnificent sight.

Four super-fiery springs surged forth, converging into a magnificent lake, where a divine herb of Earth Immortal rank grew. Immortal light rained down, clearly indicating that a seventh-realm expert must be secluded there.

At this point, Tang Yushang was completely convinced that this place was anything but simple.

At first, she felt unwell because the Daoist aura was different, indicating that she was extremely far from Yujing. Seeing Qin Ming thriving in his new environment, she couldn't help but admire him.

Tang Yushang circulated the true essence, constantly breathing in and out, and after a good half-day, she gradually merged into this world.

Qin Ming took her through many towns, helping her to quickly master the common language so she could better integrate into this world.

Tang Yushang possessed a strong mental consciousness, making it easy for her to learn the language of another world. Before long, she even mastered two or three of the more well-known dialects.

Qin Ming smiled broadly and said, "That's about enough, it's time for a makeover."

"What do you mean?" Tang Yushang looked at him warily, feeling that his smile was not entirely innocent.

Qin Ming said, "Back when I first arrived, I transformed into Yuan Dingming, Yang Dingming, and Hu Dingming in turn, so that I could move freely and everything would go smoothly."

He told us that this region had many races, but very few pure-blooded humans, and suggested that Tang transform into a six-tailed fox demon.

Tang Yushang's black hair fluttered, her fair face filled with astonishment, followed by embarrassment and anger, she said: "You really have ulterior motives, wanting me to transform into a fox spirit?"

Qin Ming said seriously, "What nonsense are you thinking? With your graceful figure, you don't need to completely reshape your physical body. You can walk on the ground very easily. If you don't want to, then you can just humble yourself and transform into a female ape of the upright ape demon clan."

"An upright female ape demon?" Tang Yushang's expression changed instantly, and her voice rose slightly. For a beautiful fairy with stunning looks, being covered in fur was truly more unbearable than killing her.

She wasn't in dire straits, and if she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't want to tarnish her image.

She had no desire to wear animal skin clothes, carry a white bone club on her shoulder, and walk side by side with the ape demon Qin Ming, traversing the land in a rugged style.

Just thinking about that scene sent chills down her spine.

Qin Ming smiled and suggested, "Why don't you transform into a woman from the White Tiger Clan? It would suit your temperament perfectly. As the core descendant of a clan, you naturally possess an aura of unparalleled elegance and a powerful presence."

Tang Yushang felt that his eyes were somewhat unfocused when he laughed. As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Looking at him like this... who knows what he's thinking? If she could suppress him, she really wanted to pin him down and beat him up.

Tang Yushang had actually considered becoming a fox spirit, but when she saw Qin Ming handing her the few snow-white fox tails he had just bought and asking her to get used to certain habits, she immediately bristled.

For example, when walking, it might inadvertently wiggle its fluffy, snow-white fox tail.

What a joke! What kind of background does she have? Her status is beyond measure. How could she be allowed to walk in the world like this? She felt that this was Qin Ming's twisted sense of humor, deliberately trying to humiliate her.

Tang Yushang compromised by transforming into a catwoman with a pair of furry ears, which she could barely accept. From then on, she temporarily became Cat Yushang.

Qin Ming then became Mao Ming, and he actually quite liked the name Mao Ding Ming. However, Ding Ming was probably already infamous in this world.

Mao Ming offered his opinion, saying, "Now that you're a cat person, you should start to walk properly with a cat-like gait."

As he spoke, he took the first step, which, strictly speaking, was not effeminate, but rather had an elegant posture, as he incorporated some of the tiger and leopard's gait.

Tang Yushang's expression froze slightly. Her first lesson in this foreign land had already embarrassed her so much that she had to walk like a cat. Was Qin Ming doing this on purpose?
However, seeing Mao Ming strolling around so confidently, she gritted her teeth and decided to go for it too. Instantly, her waist swayed softly, and she took a graceful cat-like step.

Qin Ming exclaimed, "Very good, elegant, beautiful, very much like an aristocrat among cat people."

Tang Yushang has a slender figure with curvaceous curves, and her walk is graceful and charming; she is indeed very talented.

However, listening to the other party's praise, she felt ashamed. She was a core successor of Taixu and a goddess of her generation, yet she had come to another world to walk like a cat.

She felt that she had been misled by Zha Ming and acted impulsively.

Qin Ming gestured and said, "Don't glare at me. Look around, aren't all those cat people walking like this?"

Tang Yushang noticed that the cat people were a large clan in this area, and those people did indeed walk like that... After getting used to it, it seemed quite normal.

She felt she had gone mad, actually finding elegance in it, and gradually she adapted to this rhythmic and beautiful cadence.

After walking for a while, Qin Ming asked, "How are you? Not bad, right?"

Tang Yushang wanted to get angry, but then she realized that she had unknowingly walked several miles and passed through the city.

Everyone around her did the same, and after getting used to it, she actually found it pleasing to the eye.

Tang Yushang glanced at him sideways, not wanting to speak. Although this guy looked serious, he clearly just wanted to see her walk like a cat.

Qin Ming explained, "Gold is hard to earn, and good fortune is hard to find. What is this little bit of hardship? Besides, how can this be called suffering? It's clearly helping you to be naturally beautiful and even more radiant."

Tang Yushang glared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "You think I can't see through your terrible brainwashing? Fine, since everyone around us is like this, let's hurry on our way."

Clearly, Tang Yushang, as the goddess of Taixu, was no pushover and was by no means weak or easily bullied.

She immediately made a request: she was used to having servants with her wherever she went, so for the sake of things looking natural, she could only ask Qin Ming to make the sacrifice.

"What are you thinking!" Qin Ming refused outright.

He knew that the girl in front of him had been living a life of luxury since childhood, and even her attendants were descendants of gods like Bai Meng. Now that she had come to a foreign land, she still wanted to use her status as a young lady to suppress him.
Qin Ming said, "At different stages of life, there should be all sorts of new experiences. A life that never changes is the most boring and dull thing. Why don't you try living a different way?"

He added, "When your status and position change, your perspective on life also changes. You may gain extraordinary insights by looking at the world, all living beings, and yourself from a different angle."

Although Tang Yushang knew he was talking nonsense, after thinking about it, she actually felt that there was some truth to it. It really was a statement of enlightenment.

Therefore, she wanted to try to shed her aloof, ethereal persona.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Very good. My suggestion is to make a thorough change and venture into areas that have never been explored before. This will broaden your horizons and make your life completely different from the past."

Tang Yushang nodded and said, "It's worth a try."

She asked, "What identity do you think I should adopt?"

Qin Ming immediately offered enthusiastic advice, saying, "In the past, you were always the one giving orders. Now, it's the other way around. You should experience what it's like to be a follower. Only then can you see a new world and better examine yourself."

"And then?" Tang Yushang asked calmly, with an expression as if she were looking at a liar.

Although she was asking questions, she refused to give false information.

Qin Ming said, "You'll be my follower, and I'll be your young master. This contrast will be something you can experience and savor for a long time."

"Zha Ming." Da Tang gritted his teeth and spat out two words, making his final comment.

Do you really think she's an innocent, naive girl who doesn't know the ways of the world?

How dare Qin Ming bully her like this? Mao Yushang really wanted to beat Qin Ming up.

On the way, an old cat-man saw them and couldn't help but exclaim, "In this land, it is truly remarkable that such a well-matched couple has appeared among my cat clan. They are a perfect match and a perfect pair."

Then he saw that the immortal couple disliked each other.

Finally, the two marched deeper into the earth, and their relationship was established. They were not Daoist partners, nor did they have any followers; they were simply brother and sister.

Kaiyuan Ancient City, majestically situated in a region, is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, renowned as a city of spiritual treasures.

As night falls, the city walls stretch like a sleeping dragon's ridge, tall and majestic. The entire city exudes an imposing aura, as if a celestial city has fallen from the heavens to guard this region.

Qin Ming came again, and I felt like I was coming home.

He had fought a great battle with the people of the Godlike Society here and reaped huge rewards, so when he wanted to do a big business deal, this was the first place he thought of.

Moreover, he wanted to choose organizations affiliated with the God-like Society for his transactions.

Qin Ming transmitted his voice: "We'll split up, one in the open and one in the shadows. If anything unexpected happens at a critical moment, you can activate the special weapon—the Jade Mirror—to secretly support me."

They were preparing to go into the city, but they did not walk together.

Qin Ming said, "Harmony brings wealth. If I don't take action, you shouldn't expose yourself or show your face."

Tang Yushang scoffed, "This is... making money through harmony?"
By now, the Tang Dynasty already knew what Qin Ming was planning to do.

He was going to sell fake medicine; to be precise, he was planning to dump a large quantity of magic potions.

Tang Yushang's cat ears twitched slightly as she said, "What did the God-like Society do to you? It seems they've really offended you. How could you possibly trick them like this?"

Qin Ming nodded and said, "The enmity runs deep. It would have been one thing if they had just wanted to rob me of my property, but they actually coveted me as a person. This is intolerable."

Tang Yushang rolled her eyes. She realized that since they became acquainted, her aloof facade had been ripped off, revealing a contrasting side of herself, while the other person's handsome and radiant image had completely collapsed.

Qin Ming said, "Alright, keep your distance, I'm going to be a fertility goddess."

At this moment, he was no longer Mao Ming, but had become Yang Ming, since selling medicine was a risky business, and there was a high probability that something bad would happen in the end.

As for Mao Ming's identity, it will be reserved for normal travel in this area and for use when escaping trouble.

The large pile of magical potions in his hands were naturally all harvested from the "Land of Creation" deep within the Crimson Forest. He had personally witnessed some people "forming their nascent souls" on the spot after consuming these precious potions.

The bizarre image still gives Qin Ming goosebumps when he thinks about it now.

He pondered it afterward and guessed what had happened.

In the past, the fallen supreme abode was filled with the obsessions of those immortals and gods who died tragically. They were devoured by the parasitic civilization, causing terrible resentment and endless curses. The negative emotions remained and combined with the spiritual essence of the supreme place.

The entire mountain is covered with vegetation, all of which are tragic relics of the past.

Perhaps, to be precise, it is the manifestation of resentment and curses.

Qin Ming was well-prepared for this trip to sell medicine. He had already thoroughly investigated the area and found that it was far from the Celestial Clan, the Abyss Civilization, and the Totem Faction. Many people had never heard of those supreme lands and there was no trade between them.

Now he was completely relieved, no longer afraid of others getting there first and dumping their products. In front of the magnificent building, many people came and went, all of them experts of the third and fourth realms, and occasionally even grandmasters would come in person. This was a renowned treasure medicine pavilion.

Yang Ming entered the Qionglou with steady steps. To test the waters, he did not take out all the herbs, but only selected a few representative ones: golden fruits shaped like human figures, tea leaves surrounded by flames, and spirit vines with dragon scales. They were all priceless "big shots".

Tang Yushang didn't enter the building. She held her breath from a distance, worried that even inhaling would cause her to be affected and inexplicably "form a nascent soul".

Undoubtedly, this rare and exquisite natural treasure alarmed the person in charge of Qionglou, who personally came forward to earnestly entertain Yang Ming.

Moreover, the old man took out a picture album and carefully compared the images, his face trembling slightly, his emotions fluctuating wildly.

Qin Ming was surprised that such spiritual objects, which originated from the Crimson Creation Land, could also be produced in other realms. He assumed they had not been "contaminated".

He was very vigilant and constantly resonated with the situation to prevent any accidents from happening.

"It really is such a rare and precious medicine, probably worth a fortune! Quickly, go and call for an expert!" This was the old man's inner thought.

Qin Ming was shocked. Did this old guy want to just steal the medicine?
Although it is a magic potion, it is definitely not acceptable for the other party to try to get something for nothing and get it for free.

Qin Ming asked, "Boss, just give me a straight answer, how much is one plant?"

He wanted to make a final effort, seize the opportunity, and successfully take away Zhou Jin.

The old man carefully appraised the plants and said, "Each one is worth 100,000 gold coins!"

Qin Ming said, "Boss, are you trying to fool me because I'm young? This kind of humanoid medicine should cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and it would probably be worth millions at an auction."

The old man shook his head and said, "Although it is a rare medicine in human form, it is not a divine product. Its shape cannot determine its medicinal properties."

Qin Ming said, "Then forget it, I won't sell it, I'll leave immediately."

The old man said, "Wait a minute, I'll raise the price. Everything is up to you, 500,000 gold coins per plant."

This is not how negotiations should be done at all; he just wants to keep Qin Ming calm and wait for the expert to arrive.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Alright, bring the day gold right away."

He had already sensed that the expert the other party was calling out was a grandmaster, so he wasn't flustered and wanted to do everything he could to close the deal.

Of course, given the other party's questionable character and their intention to steal his potions, Qin Ming felt that a large-scale transaction was definitely not possible here.

Sure enough, the old man was slow and dawdling when instructing someone to fetch the gold, clearly trying to delay the process.

"Give it to me!" Qin Ming couldn't wait any longer and directly took action, snatching the 500,000 gold coins from the secret room.

"Is that all the money and valuables you have?" He was very dissatisfied.

The old man was shocked. They hadn't even seen the attack yet, and the other party had already snatched it up?
He sensed that the other party was at least a grandmaster, so he immediately backed down and told them that the Treasure Medicine Pavilion was too conspicuous and to avoid being robbed, big business was not discussed here, and there was another secret vault protected by a super magic array.

Without saying a word, Qin Ming stuffed the several magical herbs into his pocket and ran away.

In the distance, Tang Yushang was shocked. Selling fake medicine was one thing, but he actually robbed it? He didn't even want to give away the magic potion.

She felt that Qin Mingxin was going too far. Such actions could easily lead to trouble; if they were wanted by everyone in this world and hunted down by the entire globe, they might not be able to leave this realm, and they would be in grave danger.

Then, she sensed that four grandmasters had appeared in the distance and were charging straight towards her.

Qin Ming then headed out of the city and disappeared into the distance.

Tang Yushang activated the jade mirror, and she silently disappeared into the clouds, following behind.

The final result was... Qin Ming shook off those people, did not kill them, and sat on a mountain peak to wait for her.

"Why did you just rob it?" Tang Yushang asked.

Qin Ming said, "They were the ones who first had wicked intentions, wanting to take the medicine for free. It's just that I'm magnanimous and believe in making money peacefully, so I didn't kill them."

Mainly, he still wanted to sell medicine and didn't want to cause a bloodbath as soon as he appeared. It was best to keep a low profile within a controllable range.

His first instance of double-crossing was relatively insignificant.

Qin Ming did not believe that all the pharmacy owners in other major cities were of this character; he firmly believed that most of them were kind.

"go!"

With Mao Ming leading Mao Yushang, they marched into a more distant land and chose an exceptionally magnificent city.

Then, another unexpected thing happened.

When he transformed into Yang Ming and acted alone, he carefully resonated with the spirit and treated it with caution. Damn it, this boss's character was even worse. He didn't take out a single copper coin and directly called for reinforcements. Moreover, this time it involved a master in the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Enraged, Qin Ming smashed through the medicine shop, stole 600,000 gold coins from them, and left triumphantly.

Tang Yushang was speechless. She followed him down and said, "Are you here to sell magic potions or to rob us outright? Be careful not to make too much noise."

Qin Ming sighed, "The owners of medicine shops in other worlds are generally of very poor character!"

In fact, after the two incidents, Qin Ming had some doubts and felt that something was wrong.

The third time, he chose another giant city, being even more cautious. He argued with the shopkeeper for a long time, not rushing to take out the potion, but carefully investigating whether the other party had any problems.

Finally, he used humanoid potions and dragon-scaled vines to extract some key information from the other party's thoughts.

It turned out there was an order from above: upon seeing a precious medicine that matched the one in the picture book, immediately order an expert to bring the person down.

Therefore, Qin Ming was forced to double-cross the robbers, committing a third robbery before fleeing.

Tang Yushang remained silent, staring at him for a long time before finally saying, "Next time, just rob him directly. Why bother taking out magic potions?"

Qin Ming said, "No, I want to make a fair deal with them!"

In fact, he was certain that something was amiss, otherwise it wouldn't have happened three times in a row.

The fourth time, he decisively followed the advice and stopped selling potions. He then set his sights on a person in charge of the Medicine Pavilion, followed the clues to find the higher-ups above him, and then carefully investigated the truth.

Qin Ming frowned; there was a big problem here.

The heads of the medicine pavilions in various regions of the Divine Alliance received orders to immediately call the Grandmaster to arrest anyone selling the "new medicines" listed in the catalog, according to the catalog.

However, no reason was given above.

Therefore, the bosses all guessed that those priceless medicinal herbs came from the same secret medicinal garden, and that the higher-ups didn't want the news to leak out, so they wanted to steal them and keep it a secret.

Qin Ming panicked, sensing that something terrible was about to happen.

Sure enough, as he delved deeper into the investigation, he found a key figure in the Medicine Pavilion and learned the whole truth.

Suddenly, he felt like the sky had fallen!
Some people came to this world first to dump magic potions. Large organizations like the Godlike Society, more than one, suffered huge losses. They were afraid of affecting their future business, so they temporarily kept it a secret.

After all, they buy low and sell high, so if there's a problem with their own stockpiled medicines, it would be like the sky falling.

Qin Ming investigated and found out that the people who got there first to sell fake medicine were indeed not from the Celestial Clan, the Abyss Civilization, or the Totem Faction.

Based on the limited clues, Qin Ming strongly suspected that the perpetrator was someone from his own base, from the Yujing region, and definitely from the same hometown.

Therefore, Qin Ming's mentality collapsed!
He was only two days late, so how did the situation take such a sharp turn for the worse? The land was seized by someone else before he could take it all.

"One shouldn't be too much like Ye Zhou in life, nor too much like Yu Jing in business!" Qin Ming roared to the sky, heartbroken. Who the hell was committing this crime against the wind?

This is to follow his path and leave him with nowhere to go.

Indeed, fellow countrymen in another world are the most dangerous and terrifying creatures!

When Tang Yushang learned the truth, she was stunned. How could selling fake medicine lead to such a coincidence?
Qin Ming reviewed the situation and said, "No, on the Jade Capital side, I was the only one who entered the Crimson Forest, and I was the only one who picked the great medicine..."

At the crucial moment, Tang Yushang didn't forget to stab him in the back, saying, "That's right, you were the only one who crossed over and almost got beaten to death."

Qin Ming muttered to himself, "Could it be that some old monsters of the seventh realm, such as Zhuo Kun, the Sage, the Dog Sword Immortal, Helian Chengyun, and others, also sneaked over and frantically collected a lot of magic potions?"

If it were someone of that caliber, he certainly wouldn't be able to detect it, and the other party naturally wouldn't leave any trace.

"There's another possibility..." Qin Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide. He thought of... the Golden List!
If it was Lao Jin who did it, then it makes even more sense.

Whether it's the appearance of an old monster from the seventh realm or the work of the Golden List, the amount of magic potions collected is far beyond imagination, and they will inevitably be dumped all over the world.

"This... is too late!" Qin Ming was frantic.

"Damn it, this is too much like Yujing!" Qin Ming was really annoyed and felt terrible.

He considered all the possibilities and even investigated in advance whether the Celestials, the Abyss Civilization, or others would enter the market. He found no trace of them and was overjoyed, thinking that he had completely monopolized the market in this world.

Who knew that fellow villagers were the hardest to guard against!

"It seems this big deal of yours is off. Let's throw away the potion and... go back?" Tang Yushang asked.

"No, the world is so big, there's always somewhere we can find a place to eat!" Qin Ming refused to give up. After all, there were still many ancient mist gates that hadn't been opened, and he wanted to save his precious medicine for the opportunity.

Besides, the world is vast, and there are roads leading to distant places. He wasn't in a hurry to return home and wanted to look for another opportunity.

Next, Tang Yushang's ominous premonition came true. Following Qin Ming, she was beaten nine times in three days, as if the whole world was looking for them.

Fortunately, the wanted poster only refers to Yang Ming's appearance and has nothing to do with the current Mao Ming.

The two cat-people are now walking together, so it's relatively safe.

On the way, Qin Ming corrected Mao Yushang, saying, "You're wrong. When speaking in front of outsiders, you should not only call me brother, but also use the tone of a cat and add the word 'meow'."

Tang Yushang was furious and wanted to turn around and leave.

However, they couldn't afford to give themselves away right now. When there were many people around, she reluctantly admitted it, speaking with a special tone of voice, "Meow..."

This tingling sensation made Qin Ming's hair stand on end, and Tang Yushang herself couldn't stand it.

"I want to go home, meow!" Cat Feather felt ashamed.

Qin Ming smiled broadly and said, "Let's wait a little longer. We're already here, let's figure out a big one, otherwise I won't be satisfied!"

Tang Yushang, worried that something might happen, said, "Meow, one shouldn't be too much like Ye Zhou in life, nor too much like Yu Jing in business. We really should go!"
