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 a group of old demons lying on the mountaintop, their bodies covered in wounds.

Qin Ming stood in the golden Scorching Sun, letting the torrential rain pour down on him, yet he remained completely dry. Looking at his harvest, he felt utterly satisfied.

"Bring me the Strange Medicine."

Upon hearing this, the Old Donkey shuddered, shakily rose to its feet, and ignoring the Black Peng's murderous gaze, it carried the pure, flawless crystal over with a look of reverence.

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 Peng couldn't accept it. His bald body trembled with rage, and he almost bit off his beak. It was Great Medicine that he had obtained from a renowned elder of his clan at great cost, and in the end, it had been given 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 Peng's territory. Some of its subordinates are very loyal, mostly Bird Demon. Now they have spread their wings and are rushing over, trying to rescue it.

Qin Ming raised the Jade Iron Saber 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 undoubtedly looked like a young demon god.

He raised his sword, summoning lightning from the night sky, which struck down a flock of Bird Demon, 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 Kirin Lion roared.

The Old Donkey drooped its head, not daring to look at it, its two front hooves flowing with the Heavenly Light Force, 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 Pattern 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 utterly 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 ' Godlike Society' on the God's Fall Plain, invited by Black Peng to lend my assistance."

Qin Ming soon learned that the organization's supreme leader might be related to Godlike creature!

The Godlike Society on the God's Fall Plain is just a Nodes on a small branch of the organization, and its scale is not large. The masked man is the number two figure on this Nodes.

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 Hall beforehand?"

"A message from the Godlike Society."

The Old Donkey replied.

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

"We do do deal in information," but I'm not aware of this; our boss handles it personally."

Qin Ming used mental resonance to discover that neither the Old Donkey nor he was lying.

At that time, the Godlike Society send a Bird Demon to deliver a message, and Black Peng paid a considerable fee for it.

Qin Ming's face turned cold. The leader of the Godlike Society at this Nodes 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 Heavenly Light to commit suicide without suffering.

However, Qin Ming was in a spiritual resonance with him, instantly shattering his Heavenly Light and preventing him from committing suicide. "Speak quickly, recite the entire Swordsmanship, 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 Swordsmanship full of "pitfalls" called the "Fiery Sun Sword Scripture".

This manual is extremely profound; it has produced Swordsmanship Master-level!

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

Finally, he used the Inferno Sword Scripture here, wielding the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber. 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 according to them, something bad would definitely happen.

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

"Indeed, a very profound sword manual, worthy of being called a supreme skill."

Qin Ming offered a serious critique, expressing genuine admiration, 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 for the first time, intending 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 Peng was trembling all over, its eyes wide with rage. Had it known this would happen, it would have preferred to discard the Strange 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 Heavenly Light, 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.

Dark Light swirled around him, smoke billowed, and a rich medicinal fragrance overwhelmed Qin Ming. He was using the methods from the "Life Altering Scripture" to extract the most essential medicinal properties.

"Ah!" Black Peng 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 Heavenly Light of heaven.

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

"Third brother, Lu Chongxiao, you son of a bitch, you've really stopped doing anything!" Black Peng was furious.

Qin Ming approached while refining the black Strange Blood within the crystal, taking advantage of its 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 Peng 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 Peng 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 Peng Step and Peng Claw Skill within it are quite powerful, both driven by the Black Peng 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 willing to give."

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

At the same time, he refined the black Strange 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 Rising on Rosy Clouds, surrounded by a misty aura.

He stood still for a long time, silently contemplating the changes within himself; 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 Brocade Finch. Afraid of frightening the other old demons, he took 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 Strange 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 Jade Suit Sewn with Gold Threads automatically appeared and then disappeared. 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 Strange Medicine, and then to the Brocade Finch's Strange Blood, a total of four kinds, it only raised his initial foundation to a little over 1,600 jin.

Actually, at this point, physical strength isn't as helpful to him in battle anymore; he'll mainly rely on the qualitative leap of his Heavenly Light Force from now on. 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 Ancestor of any religion throughout history have reached the 1,500-meter mark, which speaks volumes. "It's truly difficult to advance any further!" Qin Ming sighed.

Fortunately, there is another Strange Blood available outside.

Qin Ming returned to the Giant Palace and looked at the Fire Kirin Lion. He did not act immediately, as he needed to take a break after absorbing two kinds of Strange Medicine.

"I didn't have Eighth New Life. Is it because my two kinds of Strange Blood, like Huang Yuan's Strange Blood, only increase my foundation and don't promote New Life? Or is it because I just completed my Seventh New Life and can't be New Life 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 off your quills?" Qin Ming walked over, carrying Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber.

Upon hearing this, the silver hedgehog was immediately filled with shame, anger, and resentment. The situation was beyond its control; some things had been said too early, and now it was left speechless, pushed aside by others.

"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 Arrow Scripture!"

"Then you read a passage and let me see what's so extraordinary about it!" Qin Ming argued with it.

"Then listen carefully, I'll broaden your horizons!" The big hedgehog was stingy; he only recited a passage he had memorized. "It's nothing special; I don't think it's as amazing as my archery skills."

Qin Ming and it were locked in a grueling struggle, causing the latter's emotions to fluctuate wildly. He himself was exhausted, but finally, he obtained the complete <Arrow Scripture>!

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

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

Having studied this "Arrow Scripture" 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 Arrow Scripture, surely the other party couldn't possibly master it immediately?

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.

"Grandmaster 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 willing to put in the effort; I'll give you a quick death."

Qin Ming smashed its head with a single palm strike, cleanly sending it on its way. "I'd rather die than be manipulated by you!" the Fire Kirin Lion roared.

Qin Ming didn't care and didn't stop it, saying, "Do as you please. Apart from a heart containing the Fire Qilin Strange Blood of a Fire Qilin, there's nothing about you that I'd covet."

He was just that direct, because he had already resonated with the emotions and knew that its methods were only suitable for beasts. These simple and crude words made the Fire Kirin Lion so angry that it was about to explode on the spot.

In the end, Qin Ming helped it "commit suicide," taking away its large, fiery heart, which was surging with crimson light, to refine its Strange Blood.

In the dim light, within the crimson blood, a terrifying and horrifying phantom of a fiery Fire Qilin seemed to be 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 ' Strange Medicine ' discovered by the elders of the Ancestral Court? No, he even uprooted the roots!"
