Chapter 149 The Ancestral Court Elder’s Miraculous Medicine Was Harvested

The night fog was thick, and the rain was still falling. The majestic mountain was littered with debris, and the four-colored feathers, crimson scales, and broken silver thorns were all stained with blood.

If any outsiders were to arrive, they would be shocked to find an old demon lying on the mountaintop, covered in wounds.

Qin Mingru stood in the golden sunshine, letting the torrential rain pour down on him, yet he remained completely dry. Looking at his harvest, he felt incredibly satisfied.

“Bring me the miraculous medicine.”

Upon hearing this, the old donkey shuddered and shakily got up. Ignoring the black roc’s murderous gaze, it held the pure, flawless crystal and walked over with a look of awe.

Qin Ming smiled as he received the crystal, which was the size of a human head. The crystal shone brightly with dark light, and the black liquid contained potent medicinal properties, making it look quite extraordinary.

Black Roc couldn’t accept it. Its bald body trembled with rage, and it almost bit off its beak. It had paid a huge price to obtain this great medicine from a renowned elder of its own clan, and yet it had ended up giving it to the enemy!

It opened its beak to unleash a beam of dark light, but Qin Ming kicked it away, cracking its beak. “Stop!”

“Your Majesty!”

This is Black Roc’s territory. Some of its subordinates are very loyal, mostly bird demons. Now they have spread their wings and rushed over, wanting to rescue it.

Qin Ming raised the jade iron knife in his hand, first slicing several raptors to pieces, and then directly drew in lightning. Instantly, silver snakes danced wildly on the mountaintop, and lightning crackled.

In a deafening flash of lightning, a flock of birds of prey were all struck and fell to the ground, dead.

Although Qin Ming was handsome and otherworldly at this moment, in the eyes of the old demons, he was undoubtedly like a young demon god.

He raised his sword, summoning lightning from the night sky, which struck down a flock of bird demons, creating a tremendous deterrent effect that made many demons tremble.

“Move all your brothers into that tall building.”

Qin Ming gave instructions to the old donkey.

“Third brother, you’re such a spineless coward!” Fire Lion roared.

The old donkey drooped its head, not daring to look at it, its two front hooves flowing with the power of the heavens, dragging its sworn brother towards the giant palace.

“Donkey Third, do you think he’ll let you go like this?” the silver hedgehog said, wincing in pain as all its quills were gone and it was bleeding profusely.

Qin Ming walked over, took the silver bow engraved with cloud patterns into his hand, and exclaimed, “What a fine bow! It can even adjust its power as needed, which means I won’t need to change weapons for a long time.”

The silver hedgehog’s eyes blazed with fury, but alas, it was already a prisoner, and its threats were meaningless.

Qin Ming ignored it and kicked off the mask of the human man he had severely injured, revealing the face of a middle-aged man in his thirties.

“Tell me, where are you from, and why are you targeting me?”

To his surprise, the man was very cooperative and said:

“I come from the Godslayer Plains,” a group of demigods, invited by Black Roc to lend their assistance.

Soon, Qin Ming learned that the organization’s supreme leader might be related to a god-like creature!

The God-like Society on the Plains of God’s Demise is just a node on a small branch of the organization, and it is not large in scale. The masked man is the number two person on this node.

Inside a tall building constructed of black gold stone, Qin Ming summoned the old donkey and asked, “Why did you know I was going to the Wolf Palace beforehand?”

“A message from the Godlike Society.”

The old donkey replied.

“Is that so?” he asked the man lying on the ground.

“We are indeed in the information business,” but I’m not aware of this; our boss handles it personally.

Qin Ming discovered through mental resonance that neither the old donkey nor he was lying.

At that time, the god-like beings would send a bird demon to deliver a message, and Black Roc paid a considerable fee for it.

Qin Ming’s face turned cold. The leader of the Godlike Society at this point in time was also human, yet he was selling information about his own kind to other races.

He pressed for details about the organization’s location and more specific information.

Then, he smiled and said, “I’m quite interested in your swordsmanship. Let’s discuss and exchange ideas.” The man remained expressionless; he was clearly trying to steal his sword manual!

He was certain he wouldn’t survive, so why should he hand it over? He had already accumulated enough light in his heart to commit suicide without suffering.

However, Qin Ming was in a spiritual resonance with him, instantly shattering his divine light and preventing him from committing suicide. “Speak quickly, recite the entire sword technique, and I’ll give you a quick death.”

Qin Ming said.

The man was very tenacious, experiencing various negative emotional fluctuations, and finally recited a sword technique full of “pitfalls” called “Blazing Sun Sword Scripture”.

This manual is extremely profound; it has produced sword masters!

Qin Ming resonated with him spiritually, sifted through the dross and retained the essence, and saw clear scenes one after another, obtaining the complete scripture.

Finally, he used the Fiery Sword Technique here, holding the mutton-fat jade iron knife. The time was not very long, and wisps of fire appeared on the snow-white blade.

“Impossible!” The man was shocked. The scriptures he had recited were full of errors and pitfalls. If he were to practice them, something bad would definitely happen.

Moreover, even if he were to give away the true scriptures, how could that young man possibly comprehend them in such a short time? Even the founders of various sects would find it quite difficult to comprehend them immediately at that age.

“Indeed, a very profound sword manual, worthy of being called a unique skill.”

Qin Ming offered earnest critiques and genuine praise, and had already sheathed his sword. (Read more at Xiuting Bookstore)

The man felt like he was going insane. The other party had really learned his family’s sword manual. He couldn’t accept it. What kind of demonic talent was this? Even a distorted manual could be mastered! Qin Ming caught a bird that had just mutated and was preparing to use it to test the medicine.

He opened the pure crystal, and a rich, sweet fragrance immediately wafted out, drawing the attention of several old demons.

Black Roc was trembling all over, its eyes wide with rage. Had it known this would happen, it would have preferred to discard the rare blood. Now, watching its opponent refine it, its mentality collapsed.

Qin Ming first refined a drop of glowing black liquid with the light of the heavens, then injected the medicinal properties into the bird’s body and observed its condition.

The medicine had an immediate effect; the bird’s eyes became much clearer, its intelligence noticeably increased, and its fundamental abilities must have been enhanced.

Qin Ming waited for a long time, but it didn’t cause any problems. In fact, its condition was getting better and better, as if it had awakened “divine wisdom” and was much smarter than before when it was dull and stupid.

He felt relieved and began to refine the strange blood within the crystal.

A dark light swirled around him, smoke billowed, and a rich medicinal fragrance overwhelmed Qin Ming. He was using the methods from the “Destiny-Changing Scripture” to extract the most essential medicinal properties.

“Ah!” Black Roc cried out in pain, unable to breathe, and banged its head on the ground, trying to kill itself. The old donkey immediately stepped forward to stop it and dispersed the accumulated light of heaven.

This was the task Qin Ming had given it: to ensure that the old demons did not die.

“Third brother, Lü Chongxiao, you bastard, you’ve really stopped doing anything!” Hei Peng was furious.

As Qin Ming refined the black blood within the crystal, he approached, taking advantage of the crystal’s intense emotional fluctuations to extract valuable information.

“As a member of the Peng clan, don’t you have any secret techniques you’ve hidden away? I feel you’re rather weak.”

Black Roc stared at the crystal in his hand, already on the verge of madness. Now, his eyes were bloodshot from the shock, and he braced his black and red body, which had been struck by lightning, as he tried to fight him to the death.

Soon, Qin Ming learned that it possessed an incomplete copy of the “Black Roc Scripture”.

It’s incredibly difficult to resonate with the scriptures from the heart of a madman. After a long and arduous effort, Qin Ming finally obtained this incomplete scripture. The Black Roc Step and Roc Claw Technique within it are quite powerful, both driven by the Black Roc Force.

This scripture explains how to practice after being transformed into a human, therefore the teachings after transformation also apply to humans. “You are a good bird that is willing to give.”

Qin Ming had gained a lot and did not want to humiliate it, so he slapped it on the head and killed it instantly.

At the same time, he refined the black blood in the crystal to extract the most essential medicinal properties and absorbed them all into his body. In an instant, his flesh and blood became more active, as if he were about to ascend to heaven, surrounded by a misty aura.

He stood quietly for a long time, silently contemplating the changes within himself, and his fundamentals had indeed improved!

“Now, every small step forward is extremely difficult, and breaking through my current limit is no easy feat, but I saw hope, and I succeeded.”

Qin Ming turned and stared at the golden sparrow. Afraid of frightening the other old demons, he brought it to a side hall. He first tried to resonate with it mentally, but found that it only knew bird-like techniques, which were completely unsuitable for humans.

Finally, he directly extracted its extraordinary blood and refined it here. His body was shrouded in colorful mist, emanating a fragrant aroma. This great medicine was extremely precious.

After he fully absorbed the essence of the medicine, his joints crackled and popped, and a golden jade robe appeared on its own before disappearing. It was as if his foundation had crossed a threshold.

Qin Ming felt that his initial foundation exceeded 1,600 jin of strength.

He sighed softly. It was indeed not easy. From Huang Yuan to the Silver Wolf King, then to the Black Peng Clan’s rare medicine, and then to the Brocade Sparrow’s rare blood, a total of four kinds, he only managed to raise his initial foundation to a little over 1,600 jin.

Actually, at this point, sheer strength isn’t as helpful to him in battle anymore; his future success will mainly depend on the qualitative leap in his Heavenly Light Force. However, his initial foundation foreshadows a certain potential. The number 1,600 doesn’t actually represent a certain amount of strength, but rather the height and depth of his future cultivation!

None of the founders of any religion throughout history have ever reached the 1,500-point mark, which speaks volumes. “It’s really difficult to advance any further!” Qin Ming sighed.

Fortunately, there is another rare bloodline available outside.

Qin Ming returned to the giant palace and looked at the Fire-Scaled Lion. He did not make a move immediately, as he needed to take a break after absorbing two kinds of rare medicines.

“I didn’t have an eighth rebirth. Is it because the two kinds of extraordinary blood, like Huang Yuan’s extraordinary blood, only increase the foundation and don’t promote rebirth? Or is it because I just completed my seventh rebirth and can’t be reborn again in a short time?” Qin Ming pondered, but he didn’t care too much.

“Brother Hedgehog, you said you wanted me to scrub your back and wash your quills?” Qin Ming walked over carrying a mutton-fat jade iron knife.

Upon hearing this, the silver hedgehog was immediately filled with shame, anger, and resentment. The situation was beyond its control, and some things had been said too early. Now, it was being pushed into silence.

“I see your archery skills are extraordinary, truly masterful. Let’s exchange techniques and knowledge,” Qin Ming said with a smile.

“You’re dreaming. I won’t teach you archery!” The hedgehog saw through his thoughts.

Qin Ming, without getting angry, directly recited the archery techniques he had mastered in front of him, truly communicating with them. He asked, “How does it compare to your archery?”

Although the giant hedgehog had lost all its quills and was covered in blood, it still wore an arrogant expression and said, “Your archery techniques are quite ordinary. What I possess is an extraordinary and unparalleled archery manual!”

“Then you read a passage and let me see what’s extraordinary about it!” Qin Ming argued with it.

“Then listen carefully, I’ll broaden your horizons!” The hedgehog was stingy, and only recited a passage. “It’s very ordinary, I think it’s not as amazing as my archery skills.”

Qin Ming and it were locked in a tug-of-war, causing its emotions to fluctuate wildly. He himself was exhausted, but finally he obtained the complete “Arrow Manual”!

This manual is truly extraordinary; it would be considered a supreme skill even among major sects. In comparison, the archery techniques Qin Ming obtained from the Wu family of Black and White Mountain pale in comparison.

When the giant hedgehog saw Qin Ming practicing archery in the rain with a large bow in hand, it felt like it had seen a ghost!

Having studied this “Arrow Manual” for many years, he naturally knew its intricacies and could tell at a glance that he had mastered its secrets, which were all closely guarded secrets.

“This… how is this possible? How could you possibly learn it?” It was shocked. Even if it taught the complete archery manual, the other party couldn’t possibly master it immediately, could they?

Qin Ming was confident in his abilities, so he simply smiled faintly at it without responding. “Are you human, ghost, or god?!” the giant hedgehog cried out, bewildered.

A master-level talent is no joke. Qin Ming already possessed superb archery skills, and now he’s reached a state of divine mastery in his archery practice! “You’re a good hedgehog who’s willing to pay the price, so I’ll give you a quick death.”

Qin Ming smashed its head with a single palm strike, cleanly and decisively sending it on its way. “I’d rather die than be manipulated by you!” the Fire-Scaled Lion roared.

Qin Ming didn’t care and didn’t stop it, saying, “Do as you please. Apart from a heart containing the rare blood of a Fire Qilin, you have nothing that I would covet.”

He was that direct because he had already shared the same emotions and knew that its methods were only suitable for beasts. These simple and crude words infuriated the Fire-Scaled Lion to the point of near exploding.

In the end, Qin Ming helped it “sever itself,” taking away its large, fiery heart, which was surging with crimson light, to refine its extraordinary blood.

In the dim light, within the crimson blood, there seemed to be a terrifying and horrifying phantom of a fiery unicorn roaring.

Near the majestic mountains, birds flap their wings and fly into the distance.

A giant white peacock hovered high in the sky. Upon hearing the report, it was immediately shocked and exclaimed, “He harvested all the wild ‘miracle herbs’ discovered by the elders of the ancestral court? No, he even uprooted them!”

(There’s more to come!)
