Ten days later at night, Qin Ming sat cross legged on a boulder that was as tall as two man on top of one another, his body was covered in lightning arcs, looking very eye piercing, illuminating the dark forest, he frowned as his energy rose. Both his hands made different gesture smoothly, guiding the Spiritual energy in his body to turn into lightning, covering his body with it
The scary lightning arcs become more and more violent, almost to a point where Qin Ming was drowned in it.
"Purple lightning violent snake! Stage seven, Lightning snake's roar!" Qin Ming suddenly roared, and the lightning were released in that instant, arcing on his body uncontrollably, then forming into a thick lightning snake, coiling Qin Ming's body, its snake head was help up high, and its gaze penetrating, this lightning snake was very life like, with its bright penetrating eyes, it coiled around Qin Ming's body like a real snake, its snake head that was held up was extremely shocking.
Purple lightning violent snake, congealed and did not dissipate
Stage seven, huge success!
Qin Ming opened his eyes wide open, looking at the lightning with his own eyes, the lightning snake hissed, and left his body, it then slammed into a big ancient looking tree with shocking speed and force.
The lightning snake danced wildly, shocking everyone with its power, as it completely destroyed the tree, in a blink of an eye, it then destroyed another five more tree, the debris mixed with lightning even destroyed the boulder behind the fifth tree.
Zha…Hong….
The crown of the five trees all flew down, the branches flying everywhere, and crushed rocks littered the ground.
The forest was quiet, after the intense light was darkness.
Qin Ming sat on top of a huge boulder, his Qi was slightly disturbed, with a weak feeling from over expanding. He sat quietly for a while, then his mouth slowly turned into a smile. He had finally succeeded, from forming to releasing, it only took five second, it was faster than his first time , furthermore the power had also increased a lot.
Six stages of accumulating, the seventh stage changes in quality.
The power after the qualitative change was a huge surprise, this was the amazing part of the Purple lightning violent snake.
In ten days, not only did Qin Ming practice the Purple lightning violent snake to a huge success, he was also to comprehend the "Mountain and Sea heavy strike" from the Overflowing sword manual.
Other than delivering goods every afternoon, he would always train nonstop.
With the help of Rebirth Exercise, he was able to maintain his energy, his one day was equivalent to other people's two days.
Purple lightning violent snake and Mountain and Sea heavy strike, these two martial skill not only help Qin Ming elevate his strength, it even 'worked together' to push him all the way to Spirit Martial realm grade five!
It was not a forceful breakthrough, it was a completely natural breakthrough.
Second afternoon, Qin Ming brought his newly made twenty flying knives along with his Overflowing ancient sword to the cliff beside the Medicine Mountain, Â he found a hidden spot, and then he whistled towards the cliff, and threw stones at the green vines.
The huge pythons was alerted, as they slowly slither out from within the thick vines.
The Asura blade in his Core Qi once again had some reaction.
A while later, that small golden snake slithered out, as it glared, seeming very unhappy. Why is it you again!
"Come down! Come." Qin Ming waved at the golden snake.
The golden snake coiled around the Snake Heart fruit, staring coldly at Qin Ming.
"Come down." Qin Ming threw the flying knives.
Hiss! The golden snake spit out a golden light, shattering the flying knives.
"Come down." Qin Ming threw out two more flying knives, flying in a curve, one from each side, bringing about strong currents.
The golden snake coiled tightly around the Snake Heart fruit, shooting out golden lights, accurately shattering the flying knives.
The flying knives have all been shattered into piece, falling everywhere.
"Come down, I dare you." Qin Ming said in a low voice while constantly throwing out flying knives.
The small golden snake was furious, hateful human, are you done? What do you take me as!
"Come down." Qin Ming had already threw out fifteen flying knives. During it there was several disciples walking past, when the walk past, both him and the small snake would quiet down, only after the disciple left did Qin Ming continue provoking the small golden snake.
The small golden snake couldn’t take it anymore, its bullying this snake too much. Seeing that Qin Ming picked up a stone that weight hundreds of jin, the small snake gave out a ear piercing screech, the pythons and poisonous snake all hurried out of the green vines, forming in groups and pouncing at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming swung his sword, killing all of it in a blink of an eye, those pythons and poisonous snakes pose no threat at all. Just after killing, he immediately threw out five flying knives at the small golden snake.
The small golden snake was fed up, if it could talk, it would already be cursing, it dragged the Snake Heart fruit to a small hole nearby, and directly jumped from the fifteen meter deep cliff, like lightning towards Qin Ming, at mid air, it was opening its mouth, trying to hit Qin Ming with the golden light.
Qin Ming quickly dodged to the side, and jumped up after hitting the ground, chopping down at the small golden snake with his sword.
The snake just used a lot of the golden light, exhausting its Spiritual force, but it was still very cruel, as it continued killing, with amazing speed.
Qin Ming lured the golden snake back and away from the Medicine Mountain area, and to a small cave nearby, as his aura rose, and chopped down.
Mountain River splitting strike!
A wave of chilling mountain and river will gushed out, and slammed at the heavy sword will.
The small golden was caught off guard, so it sank in mid air.
Qin Ming swung his sword, to slash it in half
As long as this small golden snake died, there would be no more threat at the cliff, all that’s left would be a few poisonous snakes than can be ignored.
This way he could safely take the Snake Heart fruit.
Qin Ming stayed in the cave, waiting for night to came while he recuperate.
Only until midnight did he open his eyes, and walked into the darkness in silence.
No one is Azure Cloud Sect dared to mess with Medicine Mountain, it was a treasure land, and even a forbidden zone, those who dare to trespass will face serious punishments, so except for disciples who watch over Medicine Mountain, there was no tight security, this was convenient for Qin Ming.
He used a black cloth to cover half his face, he snuck into Medicine Mountain, using the dense forest as cover, he walked to the area where he first discovered the Snake Heart fruit. He first tied a rope to a tree at one end, and tie the other end on his waist, after he determined the distance, he jumped directly at the Snake Heart Fruit.
Without waiting of the remaining pythons and poisonous snakes to react, Â he wanted to pick the Snake Heart Fruit without along with the roots, and quickly escape by using the rope.
But…..
In his sea of Qi, the Asura Blade once again vibrated, filled with black mist, this time the shaking was more obvious.
What’s happening? Could it be that there was other dangers nearby?
Qin Ming didn’t dare to rush into action, so he hid in the crown of a tree, waiting and observing.
After observing for awhile, he did not discover any danger, not even a human shadow.
"Strange, was the Asura Blade warning about the Snake Heart Fruit?"
"Thats not right, a middle grade Spiritual fruit doesn’t make Asura Blade react, it didn’t have a reaction when it met the Thousand Year Pine Moss from the forest."
"When it mets strong Spirit monsters, the Asura Blade is also very quiet."
"What is it warning about?"
"Wait!
Could Asura Blade not be warning about the Snake Heart Fruit or the small golden snake, it was warning him about this mountain?
"Could it be something in Medicine Mountain that is attracting it?"
Qin Ming was suspicious for awhile, then he quietly made his way back into the dark and dense forest and went up the Medicine Mountain following the slope.
On the way up, the Medicine Mountain was very quiet, there was not many patrolling disciples, as the alertness is not high.
Qin Ming easily avoided the three patrolling disciples, and reached the mountain waist at a few hundreds meter up. This was an important area of Medicine Mountain, there was white mist all around, and thick medicine smell all over the medicine garden.
"The black blade seems to have quieten down."
"Did it point me here to steal Spiritual herbs?"
Qin Ming stood in front of a barbed wall in silence, the moon light shone onto the white mist, allowing us to barely make out what’s inside. The garden wasnt big, but it was very exquisite, it is also separated into different sections, each with different Spiritual herbs, there was hundreds of each Spiritual herb, and every one of it was nurtured with utmost care.
There was a stone house in the garden, and inside it was the person tasked to care for the medicine garden.
One medicine garden only had one disciple to protect, his or her's identity must not be simple.
Qin Ming didn’t risk it by going in, all these medicine herbs are recorded, there would be serious consequences for picking it.
The stone house in the medicine garden was very quiet, the disciple inside didn’t think that there would be outsiders here, 'appreciating' his medicine garden.
Qin Ming walked around the Medicine Mountain, he doesn’t know how high up he had gone, or where he is going, because the black blade no longer has any more reaction, no more direction. Just as he was prepared to leave, he saw a strange place.
"What's that?"
Qin Ming stood in front of a strange medicine garden, there was no Spiritual herbs or stone house in this garden, it was empty, the courtyard walls were made with dark black rocks, and it looked very special. In the middle of the courtyard was a ten plus meter tall stone, that was even bounded by thick golden chains, secured to the other end of the courtyard wall.
In an immortal like place like Medicine Mountain, this scene was as weird as it looks.
Thirty plus golden chains were glowing, dispersing the surrounding mist and darkness.
The stone's shape was not uniform, it was like a twisted tree, it also looked like a person who was roaring to the sky.
"What is this thing?"
Qin Ming frowned, as he touched the golden chain.
WENG WENG!! The black blade in his Sea of Qi once again shook, stirring up vast mists, filling the entirety of his Sea of Qi.
Suddenly, the stone moves, it really did, the posture was really weird, it looked like it was struggling.
Deep underground, in the lonely darkness, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, like a sleeping Death God who has awoken.
Wengwengweng, the stone struggled more, seeming like it was going to break free fromt he chains.
"Hualala!"
The golden chains shined with golden light, as it all tighten, entangling the stone, the surrounding four walls all obviously shook, as a strong wave of energy, rushed into the stone following the chain.
The stone slowly restored to being quiet, and the mist was not moving anymore.
Qin Ming felt that it was weird the more he looked at it, just as he was about touch again. A few disciples who heard the noise quickly came here, so he had no choice but to leave.
