Famous Throughout the Land

"Skills are never a burden, it's good to learn more, they can save your life at critical moments, and you, kid, do learn things very quickly." Old Man Liu acknowledged, but then sighed, in such a remote area, the number of families with a history was pitifully small.

The most crucial thing was that even if they had declined, they still followed their ancestral teachings and would not easily show their family's collection of books to outsiders.

"I'll ask someone to see if I can find out." Old Man Liu agreed.

Qin Ming was very happy. If he encountered another old secret book containing the crystallization of the predecessors' hard work, then he would undoubtedly gain a lot.

He felt there was a chance. Although the declining families had their own persistence, it was impossible for everyone to be old-fashioned.

"Old Man, how is your health?" Qin Ming asked with concern.

Old Man Liu had worked hard for half his life to get the red grass containing rich spirituality from the Fire Bat Cave, but he was targeted by the people of Golden Chicken Ridge, who gave him a Yellow Mud Palm without showing any signs.

He sighed and said, "It won't take my old life. The injury can be healed, but as for Second New Life, I can no longer control it. I'll leave it to fate."

Qin Ming returned home, cut the meat from the Fire Snake, put it on an iron plate, and picked up the Long-handled Black Gold Hammer to smash it into a meat paste.

"There shouldn't be any blood smell, right? I washed the Black Gold Hammer twice."

Half an hour later, Qin Ming came to Old Man Liu's house again with a jar of meat porridge, and said, "This is a spiritual little creature I hunted in the mountains. Although it can't help people achieve New Life, it is also a tonic, but it is cold in nature, which can just counteract the heat of the fiery red grass."

Old Man Liu was suspicious, but he still took it and said, "You have a heart, kid."

The next day, as Shallow Night arrived, Old Man Liu came to pat the courtyard door. After seeing Qin Ming, he grabbed his hand and said, "Little Qin, what did you feed me?"

Compared to ordinary snakes, the Fire Snake was like a different kind of creature. The taste of the meat was completely different. Even Old Man Liu didn't know what he had eaten. He felt much better and was no longer sickly.

"Old Man, I think with this body, I can have another son in my old age!"

On this day, everyone felt that Old Man Liu was full of energy, and his voice was much louder.

"Black White Mountain, this time it has become famous everywhere, and many splendid cities are discussing it. The ten-colored light pillar tore through the night, shocking the world."

While searching for special Nodes in the mountains, Cao Long, Mu Qing, Wei Zhirou and others were talking. Their news was very well-informed, and they had correspondence with the outside world through a kind of raptor.

Qin Ming immediately perked up and listened carefully. He was very interested in the mysterious products related to scraps, and also wanted to know about the outside world.

"Many large organizations regret it very much. They didn't pay enough attention to this place. After evaluating the most mysterious product this time, they believe it is a god-given treasure, worth a lot of money. Even some ancient sects that were originally in a state of closure have been alarmed and attach great importance to it, sending people out to find out the details."

Overnight, the Black White Mountain, which had been silent for many years, became the focus of discussion everywhere.

"Two hundred years ago, when Heavenly Light pierced the Black White Mountain, some of the experts who rushed over from the Royal Capital are still alive. It is said that an old guy had a fit of anger and was so angry that he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights. Finally, with red eyes, he ran to the deep mountains and swamps to hunt down the legendary Six-Tusked White Elephant."

"Six-Tusked White Elephant, isn't that the mount of a deity enshrined by a certain secret sect? Even if it exists in reality, it is probably in the world of the deepest night mist."

Qin Ming listened with great interest. He yearned for the vast and boundless world outside. Just hearing some of it made him feel colorful and wanted to go out of the remote area to take a look.

"Not to mention the Royal Capital, there is news that even the high-level officials in the distant and powerful Yu Country's imperial city have been alarmed. The national master personally inquired about this matter. After all, the ten-colored light pillar and the Five-Colored Haze appeared and merged at the same time, which is not recorded in any documents."

Although some people were thinking about that mysterious product, they failed to pursue it in the end, because they encountered strong resistance, and people of extremely high status from outside the world intervened.

"Those blessed lands, and the spiritual mountains that have accumulated Heavenly Light, this time are considered..."

Qin Ming wanted to urge them to say more, but unfortunately, although the relationship was good, it was not close enough. He knew his identity very well and didn't say much.

After failing to find any special Nodes today, Xu Yueping and Old Man Liu discussed taking three teams to the Flying Scythe Bird's nest.

Xu Yueping admitted frankly that he couldn't be sure if there was any spiritual substance there, but it was indeed a good place to temper the New Life.

He was very dedicated and responsible to the village and wanted to ask Cao Long, Wei Zhirou, Mu Qing and the others to eliminate the pests.

The grain shortage this winter was largely related to the Flying Scythe Birds. Before the autumn harvest, they flew out of the mountains, swooping over the fire fields, their scythe-like beaks cutting off several clusters of grain ears in one bite.

Wei Zhirou nodded and said, "The original Mountain Sweeping Operation was meant to clear out all kinds of harmful beasts. Since there are such vicious birds, we should go and take a look."

Xu Yueping was immediately grateful. Everyone knew that the Mountain Sweeping was just a guise, and the real purpose was to find special products in the mountains.

Cao Long said, "The group of youngsters who had a New Life this year have only seen a little blood in the Fire Bat Cave. They haven't had any decent tempering yet, and the Flying Scythe Birds are perfect."

Soon after, they arrived at a low cliff. There was a large amount of bird droppings on the snow, and many crevices in the cliff face, where the Flying Scythe Birds built their nests.

Mu Qing, Cao Long, and the others were very professional and well-prepared, even bringing throwing nets woven with metal wire. More than a dozen large nets were thrown out, covering the most densely nested areas.

Even so, a large number of Flying Scythe Birds still rushed out, densely packed. At least a thousand escaped the nets, truly a rampant disaster.

They were about a foot long, with particularly large and sharp beaks, and were very fierce. After their nests were attacked and covered, they all charged over fearlessly.

Fortunately, everyone was wearing armor. When swarms of Flying Scythe Birds swooped down, even if some broke through to the front, they could be defended against.

Qin Ming, Xu Yueping, and the others were no exception. In the past few days, they had been helping the three teams lead the way in the mountains and had been given a set of armor.

In the end, a large number of Flying Scythe Birds were killed, especially in the nests covered by the large nets. After solving the problem on the cliff, a layer of bird corpses accumulated on the ground.

Many fierce birds still flew away, but most of them were dealt with, and their nests were destroyed. They wouldn't dare to come back in a short time, and after their numbers decreased, the villagers would dare to hunt them.

Black Sheep Knight Yang Yongqing was responsible for notifying the villagers to bring sacks to collect the bird corpses. It would be a waste to abandon so much meat.

During these few days, Qin Ming had been paying attention to observing the various groups of people in the mountains, but he had not found the person he was looking for.

"Those two are in their early thirties, the woman has a mole in her right eyebrow, and the man has very long arms. Unfortunately, there is no one who matches."

Back then, those two had rescued him from the Feather-Clad Youth, taken him far away from the city, brought him to a remote place, and left him in Silver Vine Town. They had explored Black White Mountain, but they had not appeared this time.

During this period, Qin Ming fulfilled his promise and contacted the people of the Old Noble many times, telling them what he had seen in the mountains and which organizations had obtained relatively special products.

The Old Noble Xie Jingrui sighed, as nothing he needed had appeared.

Today, he personally entered the mountain, and actually went directly into the deepest part of the mountain, which shocked many old men from Red Haze City.

Since Ling Xu and Civet Cat left, no one dared to go deep now. In the mountains, not to mention that mysterious Mountain Master, even that foot-long Old Weasel going crazy was frightening, running all over the mountains with a donkey. After being intercepted by the woman in green, its mentality was obviously unbalanced. Who would dare to provoke it?

Half a day later, the Old Noble Xie Jingrui walked out silently, holding two very short plant roots in his hand, one black and one white.

He sighed softly, "Sure enough, there are remnants of the Black White Tree's roots in the depths of the mountain. After being nourished by Heavenly Light, they have transformed into extraordinary mysterious products!"

Qin Ming was acting alone, looking for special Nodes, and when he saw him coming, he asked, "Did you find what you wanted?"

"I found something, but someone else got there first." Xie Jingrui stood in the mountain forest, somewhat helpless, and sighed, "Unfortunately, I am injured and cannot fight for long in the chaos, otherwise I would have entered the mountain long ago."

"Are there no clues left?" Qin Ming realized that the Black White Tree's roots nourished by Heavenly Light were very important to the Old Noble. He had come two years ago just to get it.

Xie Jingrui said, "I know who took it. I have to go to Red Haze City."

"Could it be City Lord Ling Xu?" Qin Ming asked.

The Old Noble nodded, he had asked Wei Mo, who was following the Giant Spirit God path, in the deep mountains, and was told by the latter that Ling Xu had lingered there for a long time.

Xie Jingrui said, "No wonder Ling Xu missed the strongest mysterious resource and ran straight back to Red Haze City. Everyone said he was so angry that he almost broke his thigh, regretting not buying a flying mount. In reality, he was afraid others would find out he had another big gain. He took this opportunity to run away, what a thief! And he's supposed to be a refined scholar in white? I think he should change into black clothes."

Qin Ming was also speechless for a while, and at the same time, he was very strange, that the Old Noble could actually say so much to him before leaving.

Soon he knew the answer, Xie Jingrui said, "That Purple-Eyed Crow is very optimistic about you, work hard, this place is too remote and closed off, leave as soon as possible."

He was about to leave Silver Vine Town and set off immediately after leaving the mountain.

"Will Miss Xie also leave with you?"

"Yes, goodbye if fate allows!" The Old Noble Xie Jingrui flashed and disappeared directly from the forest, the speed was incredible.

In the distance, there was a lot of movement. When Qin Ming rushed over, he found a group of nobles in bright clothes and angry horses confronting Cao Long, Wei Zhirou, and Mu Qing.

The various families in Red Haze City were not harmonious. The Cao, Wei, and Mu families walked together, and naturally other large families also formed groups to enter the mountain.

Just now, someone had attacked Cao Long, but was defeated relatively quickly, and was blasted away, which surprised everyone.

At this time, a young man wearing golden armor and riding a mutated Golden Leopard came forward, his aura was very strong.

Cao Long said coldly, "Feng Xing, don't look for trouble. Old Man Wang wanted to snatch my Seventh Uncle's Longevity Tree and was repelled by me. Is there a problem? Do you want to stand up for the Wang family?"

The young man Feng Xing on the Golden Leopard said calmly, "It's been two years since we last met. I heard that your strength has increased a lot. We have also fought our way through. Let's spar now."

"You just want to fight, am I afraid of you!"

The people around were also from Red Haze City and knew each other. Although they were mainly divided into two groups, there were also neutral nobles. Someone spoke out to persuade them.

"Brother Feng Xing, Brother Cao Long, you are both outstanding figures from our Red Haze City who have entered the giant city, don't hurt your harmony. Now your strength is so high, if you accidentally make a mistake, the consequences are unpredictable."

Under such circumstances, those who dared to step forward to dissuade them naturally had some background.

The one who spoke was a young man, riding on the back of a White Rhinoceros, coming from far to near, into this dense forest. He was very handsome, and his silver armor set off his extraordinary bearing.

Next to him, there was also a girl riding on a Black Tiger, with a graceful figure, wearing purple-gold armor, with curved eyebrows and bright big eyes, very beautiful and moving. Many young people couldn't help but take a few more glances after discovering her arrival.

After this pair of young men and women appeared, many people greeted them warmly, even those who were older than them were very polite to them.

Behind this pair of particularly outstanding young men and women, a large group of people followed, centered on the pair of men and women, surrounding them like stars holding the moon.

From the whispers of the crowd, Qin Ming knew why the two were so eye-catching.

When these two became New Life this year, they caused a sensation in Red Haze City. They were the most dazzling in twenty years, stunning the entire region. Those who have built a Golden Foundation in these years are far inferior to them.

Sure enough, after the young man spoke, Feng Xing gave him a lot of face and actually put away his weapon, smiling and saying a few words to him.

"Who is Qin Ming?" Nie Rui, the silver-armored boy riding on the back of the White Rhinoceros, spoke, handsome and radiant, searching in the crowd.

Qin Ming frowned, how would he know himself? Nie Rui smiled and said, "I went to visit Master Xu Kong, and wanted to spar with his disciple during the period, but Zhou Wubing said that he was unwell and it was inconvenient to do so, but he highly recommended you, saying that you are stronger than him. I am really curious, is there a young man in this area who is more powerful than the disciple personally taught by Master Xu Kong? So I came to take a look."

Qin Ming was stunned, Er Bingzi is really sick!
