Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

At night, an official from Longxi rode a horse 800 miles away to report the news, "It has rained heavily in Longxi. Although it has only rained for half a day, it has greatly alleviated the drought in Longxi!"

Hearing this, all the officials were excited, but Ying Zheng was the only one who remained calm and asked calmly, "What about the remnants of the six kingdoms?" "They will fall apart without a fight!" the official said excitedly, "Once the heavy rain comes, the remnants of the six kingdoms will fall apart in an instant!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng burst into laughter, "Hahaha! This is a blessing from heaven!" Many ministers also congratulated him, praising the First Emperor for his wisdom and bravery, which moved heaven and brought about this auspicious rain.

At this moment, the Qin Dynasty is more united because of the timely rain and will face the challenges of the future together.

To celebrate the relief of the drought in Longxi, Ying Zheng held a grand banquet.

During the banquet, ministers stood up to congratulate him, expressing their admiration for Ying Zheng and attributing all the achievements to him.

As for Xu Fu and his formation, they have been completely forgotten by people at this moment and no one mentions them.

The city of Xianyang was bustling with singing and laughter.

However, in the unnamed mountains of Tongyu County in the east of the city, a strange phenomenon was quietly happening.

The starlight slowly falls like a thread, heralding that a breakthrough is imminent and a strange phenomenon is about to occur.

That was where Yang Ling practiced in seclusion.

Although he knew that the rainfall might have little to do with him, under the flattery of many officials, Ying Zheng could not help but feel a little flattered. However, he did not forget to be vigilant against the remnants of the six kingdoms.

On the night of the rain, Meng Tian led tens of thousands of Black Ice Terrace light cavalry, quickly crossed the official road and headed straight for Longxi.

Before the remnants of the six kingdoms could react, they were hit hard by Meng Tian. Overnight, thousands of remnants of the six kingdoms were beheaded and their heads were hung on the city walls.

The remnants of the six kingdoms were extremely angry. They had originally planned to take advantage of the drought in Longxi to start an uprising, but they did not expect that the sudden heavy rain disrupted their plans.

The rain not only alleviated the drought, but also hit them hard.

However, Xiang Liang believed that there was still a chance, because the drought in Longxi had not been completely resolved, and they still had a chance to win over the victims and regroup.

At the same time, in the distant CRRC County, the breakthrough of Yang Ling, the key figure who caused this heavy rain, has not yet ended.

In the nameless mountains of Tongyu County, many animals gathered around the cave where he was in seclusion, and the grass was lush, which became a wonder. People from all over the surrounding area came to watch and were shocked by this strange sight.

Yang Ling sat cross-legged in the cave, practicing without distraction.

As time went by, his aura became more and more ethereal, as if he were an immortal descending to earth.

He silently recited the ancient formula, his robe fluttering in the wind, his breath rising and falling.

Obviously, he has reached the most critical moment of breakthrough.

Once he succeeds in breaking through, he will enter a whole new realm and become a truly powerful person in the world. All these changes are due to his persistent pursuit and unremitting efforts in the way of cultivation.

"If you don't understand the common sense, you will be in danger if you act rashly; if you understand the common sense, you will be able to tolerate everything..."

Along with Yang Ling's chanting, the mysterious sound of Tao echoed in the cave.

Amidst the colorful light, the formation in the cave was accidentally activated. Clouds and mist, accompanied by the invisible spiritual energy of heaven and earth, slowly enveloped the entire nameless mountain range and gradually spread to an area of ​​tens of thousands of meters in radius.

The sound of Tao was ethereal and surrounded by clouds and mist. Although this strange phenomenon was limited to the vicinity of this small mountain range, its shocking degree was beyond words.

Countless birds and animals were cheering and jumping for joy under the clouds. They flapped their wings and soared in the thick clouds, enjoying themselves to the fullest.

More and more wild beasts came, holding various medicinal herbs in their mouths, and placed them respectfully in the far distance of the cave, then silently prostrated themselves on the ground, listening to the profound sound of Tao.

"To see but not to see is called Yi; to hear but not to hear is called Xi; to grasp but not to feel is called Wei. These three cannot be studied in detail..."

The mysterious sound of Tao spread out and spread to all directions. Although the sound only echoed under this small hill, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of countless people nearby.

They entered the mountains cautiously, observing everything around them with trepidation. However, when they entered the clouds and mist and saw the surrounding scene clearly, they were immediately shocked.

Hundreds of beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, all spirits knelt down, flocks of birds bowed to the phoenix, the sound of Tao lingered in the air... Countless animals densely populated the mountains and forests, they all prostrated themselves on the ground respectfully, even the most ferocious wild beasts on normal days became extremely docile at this moment.

Seeing these wonderful scenes, the people were all dumbfounded.

"How is this going?"

"This is incredible! Is this still a wolf? I actually saw a rabbit lying on its head!"

"There are turtles here? You know, the nearest stream is dozens of miles away!"

"Is that an eagle? Oh my god, I saw the true master of the sky!"

The sight of countless animals crawling on the ground stunned the people.

These animals that were violent and ferocious in the past now lay quietly and respectfully on the ground. Some of them even turned back and glared at the shouting people, as if warning them to keep quiet.

In fact, this is because these animals are listening to the Tao for the first time. Their spirituality has not yet been fully awakened, and they cannot sit cross-legged on the ground and fully comprehend the mystery of the Tao like the animals in the Taihang Mountains.

But even so, this is enough to shock many people.

When they sat cross-legged and heard the Taoist sounds and divine light surrounding their ears, they were completely stunned!

"Is this a god?!" The rain clouds covered the mountains for a long time and all the people in it felt refreshed.

The ancient Taoist sound is like the whisper of immortals, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The most amazing thing was that as the sound of Taoism spread and dark clouds spread, people discovered that there was always one or two places where rain fell in the drought-stricken Longxi area not far away.

This is just like an immortal praying for rain to bless the world!
How could these people living in the Qin Dynasty have ever seen such a mysterious thing? At this moment, they were all completely stunned!

Looking at the lush green mountains shrouded by rain clouds, countless people knelt down and kowtowed in worship.

"A miracle!"

"This is the immortal praying for rain!"

"Have you noticed? When the rain clouds are thick in the mountains and forests, it will rain somewhere in Longxi!"

“It’s actually true!”

"No wonder there was a sudden downpour in Longxi after the drought. It turned out that there were gods praying for rain here!" "Before the rain, many people saw a shadowy Taoist priest in white walking among the mountains and forests!"

"There were colorful lights hovering in the sky a few days ago!"

After hearing these words, more people bowed down more respectfully, their eyes filled with tears and gratitude.

However, what they didn't know was that this was not a matter of gods praying for rain, but simply because Yang Ling's breakthrough was not yet complete!

The formation in Xianyang is still absorbing spiritual energy continuously, which is why rain falls in Longxi.

Of course, the spiritual energy now is naturally not as strong as the fluctuations of heaven and earth that erupted at the beginning. Most of it was gathered by Yang Ling in this small area of ​​mountains, and this is also the reason why the rain in Longxi is scattered...

Yang Ling was unaware of what was happening outside.

He just sat cross-legged in the cave silently, accumulating strength and trying his best to break through the sixth level!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was like ocean waves, washing over his meridians. Every huge impact was like an ocean wave hitting a dam. Although it collapsed, it also caused the solid barrier to tremble continuously!

'Crack! ! '

I don’t know how long it took, but accompanied by a faint sound, a tiny crack suddenly appeared on the solid embankment!

Feeling this scene, Yang Ling was excited and without hesitation, he mobilized the vast spiritual energy and charged forward brazenly!

Boom! !
Huge waves are surging and the rift is expanding!

Finally, after several days, the cracks continued to expand and gradually spread to the entire meridian pass!
Finally, it completely collapsed and shattered under the impact of spiritual power like a raging wave!
At this moment, almost all the life in the mountains, whether it was beasts or ordinary people, all felt a shocking breath and looked up in horror!

The next moment, the wind was howling and rain clouds were gathering!

Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, felt his bones crackling all over!

Unimaginable surging energy and blood flowed in his veins like a river, and the sound of his heartbeat like a drum burst out between heaven and earth!

Then, a surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that had surged to its extreme suddenly burst out from his body!
Yang Ling opened his eyes, and two beams of brilliant golden light suddenly pierced through, directly hitting the thick wall with two deep marks! All spirits were boiling, beasts were howling, hundreds of birds were singing, and the people were trembling!
As if announcing the arrival of something, at this moment the entire ancient jungle seemed to be shaking!

On this day, Yang Ling, the first Qi Refiner in history, the first immortal cultivator in the Great Qin, and a pioneer, officially broke through the sixth realm in the world and entered the seventh realm!
As Yang Ling broke through, his aura gradually became stronger, and an indescribable force flowed between heaven and earth, slowly spreading in all directions.

Under the influence of this force, all living beings seemed to sense something and looked up into the distance. In the distant city of Xianyang, the gathering place of the world's luck, a series of changes also occurred.

The first thing to change was the ancient and majestic palace of the Qin kings.

This palace has a long history and is large in scale. Hundreds of shark oil candles are burning in the palace, emitting soft light, and the finest agarwood is filled with a faint fragrance. The whole hall is immersed in a solemn and ancient atmosphere.

In the center of the hall, nine jade pillars carved with flying dragons stand tall. The night-shining pearls inlaid in the dragon's eyes sparkle on the stone pillars. Although they are wrapped in stone skin, they seem to be able to see through the light inside. These flying dragons are lifelike, crawling on the stone pillars, showing incomparable majesty.

And surrounded by these nine jade pillars, there are hundreds of jade spirit tablets.

From Ying Feizi, King Ying Hou of Qin, Ying Gongbo, all the way to Ying Zheng's father King Zhuangxiang, the spirit tablets of almost all the deceased members of the Qin royal family are quietly placed here.

This is where the royal family remembers their ancestors, and each tablet represents a royal member who once was glorious.

The hall is inlaid with 108 fist-sized luminous pearls, which emit a soft light and illuminate the swords of Qin kings of successive dynasties hanging in the back.

Although a long time has passed, these swords still exude a faint chill, as if ready to be unsheathed and kill the enemy at any time.

In this solemn hall, a young eunuch was cleaning carefully with a bucket and a brush.

The sunlight shone through the window onto the ground. The young eunuch was cleaning the candlesticks while thinking about what to eat for lunch.

He said to himself, "It would be nice if I could have rice cakes for lunch today. It would be even better if I could have a bite of fat meat."

Thinking of the severe drought, he sighed again, "Although this heavy rain has temporarily alleviated the drought, I don't know when the situation will really improve."

But then he thought, it was not his turn to worry about these things.

The young eunuch carefully placed each spirit tablet in the correct position.

However, while he was cleaning, he suddenly discovered that several of the spirit tablets were crooked.

He scratched his head and went back to rinse and straighten it carefully.

But when he had just taken a few steps and wanted to continue wiping the other spirit tablets, he heard a light "click" sound.

He looked back and found that the spirit tablet that had been placed upright earlier was shaking again and almost fell down.

The young eunuch hurried forward and carefully straightened it.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought, if the spirit tablet fell off, his life might be in danger.

The young eunuch wondered what was going on.

Could it be the wind?

So he quickly closed all the doors and windows.

However, just as he was about to continue cleaning, a "click" sound was audible again.

The young eunuch turned his head stiffly and found that the spirit tablet that he had straightened twice before was crooked again!
He felt a wave of fear rising in his heart. What was going on?

Is it haunted? !

The crooked spirit tablet was blocked by the windproof wooden fence and tilted in place. The young eunuch looked at everything around him with a blank mind and felt a chill spreading.

He subconsciously wanted to step forward and rearrange the spirit tablet, but the next second, a series of "click, click, click, click!" sounds rang out. The spirit tablet that was originally quietly placed on the spirit platform suddenly shook violently without any warning!
The eunuch was so frightened that he screamed and ran to a distance, kneeling down and begging for mercy: "Please spare my life, my lord! Please spare my life, my lord! I just saw that the spirit tablet was crooked and wanted to move it around. It has absolutely no meaning!"

He kowtowed nine times before raising his head tremblingly.

However, the next scene made him terrified!

Because it wasn't just that one spirit tablet that was shaking, hundreds of spirit tablets on the huge wooden offering bar were also shaking violently without any warning!
When the young eunuch saw this scene, his pupils dilated and seemed to be a little distracted!
Hundreds of spirit tablets were jumping in unison in front of him!
It scared him completely!
After an unknown amount of time, the young eunuch finally came to his senses. He crawled out of the hall, screaming, "My Lord! Your Majesty! It's bad! The late king of the palace has appeared!!!"

He ran all the way and completely forgot that this was a forbidden area in the palace, until he ran into Zhao Gao who was carrying a bowl of hot porridge and was about to go to Ying Zheng's study. (End of this chapter)
