Qin Ming lifted up the heavy stone vat to go deliver, but this time Zhang Dong didn’t randomly give him the locations anymore. Because he was late at delivering the items, he got scolded by the high grade disciples. But Qin Ming doesn’t care about their comments, all he did was put the items down and went back to cultivating.
Advancing to grade four overnight, his essence of the spirit has improved, his strength also showed visible improvement. But as it is not a normal breakthrough, his realm wasn’t stable, the Spiritual strength in his meridians was not enough.
The best remedy for this is to eat some Spiritual herbs or Spiritual fruits.
Thus, using delivering items as excuse, Qin Ming goes near the Medicine Mountain again to see whether the Snake Heart Fruit is still there.
The wall of the mountain was filled with thick vines mixed together, countless poisonous snakes and big pythons were hidden in the vines, if one doesn’t pay attention one wouldn’t be able to differentiate pythons from vines.
The location of the Snake Heart Fruit was very well hidden, if not for the coincidence yesterday, he would have never see it.
"I’ll pick it tonight" Qin Ming was preparing to leave after checking that the Snake Heart Fruit was still there as this place is not a place where he can come.
At this moment, the Asura Blade in his Dantian suddenly vibrated, the black mist above his sea of Qi seemed to be vigilant against something.
Qin Ming quickly hid in the messy shrubberies.
What’s going on?
Is there someone nearby?
The vibration of Asura Blade slowly grows more obvious, the black mist permeated the sea of Qi.
Wait a minute, what is that thing?
Qin Ming looked at a vine on the stone wall in surprise, at the location of the Snake Heart Fruit, was a small golden snake slowing coming out, showing his blood red snake eyes, those pair of small eyes were turning, and very quickly it found where Qin Ming was hiding.
Spirit Monster?!
Qin Ming was shocked at the fact that there was a Spirit Monster here.
No wonder all the pythons surrounded the Snake Heart Fruit instead of eating it, there was a Spirit Monster inside guarding it.
This Snake Heart Fruit wasn’t the Medicine Mountains, it was the snakes?
The golden snake slowly coiled around the Snake Heart Fruit as he stared at Qin Ming, it was a declaration of rights.
"As i thought, how could it be so easy to get a Middle grade Spirit Fruit." Qin Ming hesitated, do he still come and brave the danger tonight? If there was only those normal pythons, it could be solved easily, and leave without alerting anyone. But that golden snake was a Spirit Monster, with his current strength it will be difficult to defeat it quickly, once the battle prolongs, they would be surrounded by disciples of Medicine Mountain.
"I’ll wait! Wait for my strength to increase, then i will come and take!"
Qin Ming suppressed his longing for the Snake Heart Fruit, and left the Medicine Mountain, to go back to the warehouse to quietly cultivate.
Spiritual strength in this meridians, could only be replenished slowly from heaven and earth.
This little setback was could not affect his emotions. At least he was able to confirm that the Snake Heart Fruit wasn’t the Medicine Mountains, it was that Spirit Monsters, so he had no qualms about it, as he dont need to worry that the Medicine Mountain would find trouble with him.
The overflowing sword manual and overflowing ancient sword was right in front of him.
Long awaited Martial Skill!
Long awaited weapon!
Qin Ming raised his ancient sword so that it is pointing at the sky, it was dazzling under the sun. He was overwhelmed with emotion, with a clear cry, Qin Ming begun to swing the sword, forming sword patterns in the sky.
This sword was made entirely with Divine metal, it was simple and sharp, no matter where you put the sword, there would always be sword Qi surrounding it, when using the sword, the sharp sword qi would swept across the whole courtyard, even the stones and trees would have fine scars.
Divine Weapon!
Qin Ming held on to it tightly as he released his emotions through it. But after awhile, the sword slowly becomes colder and heavier, his right arm was actually sore and tired. He was very confident in his physical strength, but he was only able to use the sword for a short amount of time only.
"Sword manual! Ancient sword! Asura blade! All these are not what i can currently use." Qin Ming wasn’t discouraged, he was instead more excited and grateful towards the old man's gift.
A gift this big made Qin Ming feel like he owed the old man.
"Mountain River splitting strike!"
"Cut down a mountain and stop the river with a single strike!"
Qin Ming put down the overflowing ancient sword, and he started to comprehend the sword manual. The sword manual was still resisting him, if he wants to look at the words written, he had to concentrate to his fullest, if he ever had any other thoughts, the words will be different and the diagrams will contort, making leading his comprehension down the wrong path.
Although Qin Ming had never seen a real Martial skill, but he knew that one cannot be sloppy when learning Martial skill, if one word was comprehended wrongly or a forget one meridian, it might cause unthinkable consequences.
Normal Martial skills is like this, so an incredible Martial skill like the overflowing sword manual must be treated with more caution.
Qin Ming locked himself in the warehouse in order to not get disturbed by others.
One word and one sentence at a time, researching one meridians at a time.
Mountain River splitting strike is only the first style, but it already has hundreds of words to comprehend and there is also complicated meridian channelling.
From afternoon to evening, then to late night, Qin Ming was immersed in trying to comprehend the manual.
The mental exhaustion was very serious, and he he needed to continuously use Rebirth Exercice to devour Life Qi in order to maintain peak condition allowing him to continue research.
For five days straight, Qin Ming would deliver stuff in the afternoon to train physically, in the evening and night, he would train wholeheartedly in Mountain River splitting strike, the more he research in it, the more mysterious the sword patterns get to it and the power of it also increases.
He specifically made a hand copied version of it to give it to Yue Qing thru Cai Yi, he even ordered to her burn it after reading.
Such a magical sword manual shouldn’t be kept to one person.
"Why are you here?" Qin Ming just came back from delivering stuff to find Zhang Dong standing in front of the metal door, with his hands behind his back and his head slightly lifted upwards, assuming the usual face that makes other want to punch him.
Zhang Dong shook the lock on the metal door: "is the warehouse your home? Do you need to lock the door when delivering?"
"What do you want to say, if you have nothing to say get out."
"You…."
Qin Ming's eyes cold: "i have not settle with you about the issue with Zhao Ming, so dont give yourself trouble."
Zhao Dong responded vaguely: "what about Zhao Ming? I don’t understand."
"Go away." Qin Ming lifted up the stone vat and walked towards the metal door.
"You…." Zhang Dong really wanted to show a strong posture, but after mumbling a few he said in a weak tone: "i am here to give you a mission, quickly pack up we have to go soon."
"To where?"
"The arena. The Medicine Mountain disciples are going to go out to pick herbs, so the sect arranged for some high grade disciples to protect them."
"Asking me to protect the Medicine Mountain disciples? Is your brain wired wrongly."
Zhang Dong laughed sarcastically: "just you? No chance! I heard that they needed a servant, so i recommend you."
"What are you planning this time?" Qin Ming stared at him coldly, as he tightened his fist.
"You are the genius amongst our Azure Cloud Sect's servant, huge strength, daring and you are even at Spirit Martial realm, if i don’t recommend you, who else would i recommend."
Medicine Mountain would often form party to the Yun Luo forest to pick precious herbs to fill up the Medicine Mountain's Spiritual herbs and Spiritual Fruits. The disciples from Medicine Mountain are generally very strong, strong enough to handle the dangers, but for safety, Azure Cloud Sect would always arrange for high grade disciples or even core disciples to lead the party.
Never had there been a case where a servant followed along.
Qin Ming brought along his overflowing ancient sword which was covered with three layers of beast skin to hide its suffocating sword Qi, at his waist, he prepared nine short knives, after preparing everything then he went to Zhang Dong to get the necessary tools.
One two meter tall thick metal bin, filled to the brim with different tools, there was even enough ration.
Totalling at seven hundred jin.
Qin Ming carried the metal bin steadily on his back as he walked to the number 10 arena in big strides.
The arena was already filled with hundred disciples, among then there was twenty plus Medicine Mountain disciples. They wore silver white robes, with an azure colored herb print on their chest area, signifying their status.
Not a lot of people dared to find trouble with a Medicine Mountain disciple, and the Medicine Mountain disciples seldom had contact with other disciples in order to maintain their mysteriousness.
There were seventy to eighty high grade disciples protecting them, most of them are around twenty years old, and their realm are all at Spirit Martial realm grade six and above.
Qin Ming walked up by the stone platform, just when he stepped in the arena he stood there.
Zhao Ming?
Why is she here to protect the party?
Zhao MIng was in the crowd, her lovely and charming smiles were very eye catching. The gentle wind blows to lift up her silky smooth hair and her robe to show her beautiful legs. A Lot of disciples are surrounding her with fiery hot gazes, singing her praises, even the Medicine Mountain disciples can’t control their impulses and gathered around her.
"Eh? Isn’t that Qin Ming? Why is he here?" Zhao Ming looked at Qin Ming strangely.
Qin Ming? A lot of disciples looked over.
A Medicine Mountain disciples dressed in white laughed gently: "Qin Ming is here to be our accompanying servant."
"Accompanying servant? What do they do?" Zhao Ming walked out of the crowd in a swaying manner. Her charming complexion and her attractive manners caused many to sway uncontrollably. Her figure was curvy, full, smooth, tight, every curve was exquisite, enough to make men explode. Therefore a lot of men are ogling at her back as she walked towards Qin Ming.
"We used to bring our own equipment in the past, this time with Qin Ming accompanying us, we can put all our baggage with him. This person was recommended by Steward Zhang Dong, he said that he is the genius amongst the servants, he is bold and has strength, furthermore he is even at Spirit Martial realm"
"Oh? So its like this, then i won’t stand in ceremony." Zhao Ming walked to Qin Ming and threw her small bag into the metal bin.
"This time we can decrease our burdens, come everyone, put your stuff into it." alot of disciples then put their stuff into the bin, the originally seven hundred jin heavy bin slowly increased to thousand jin.
Qin Ming stood still without moving, he finally understood, this was arranged by Zhao Ming!
This slut wanted to harm me when we are outside.
