Qin Wen hid with a blank expression, not rushing to show himself, but carefully observing the battle. He had never dealt with mercenaries before, but he knew very well that these people were all ruthless, licking blood from the edge of their swords, and it was a small matter to help and not to please. At that time, there was no chance of regret.
The battle is getting more and more intense, the fight is getting more and more dangerous, the saber-toothed beast is covered in wounds and has gone crazy, now the five mercenaries can't even retreat if they want to.
Qin Wen suddenly noticed a cave not far away, it seemed like there was some kind of treasure inside, and it was emanating rich life energy. He was practicing the Sheng Sheng Law and was very sensitive to vital energy.
The battle seemed to expand from there.
"Ah!" The man in black was suddenly slashed away by the sharp claws of the saber-toothed beast, his back covered in blood and ripped open by three shocking wounds.
"Ow roar!" The saber-toothed beast let out a roar, the sound moved the dense forest, deafening, its entire body boiled with raging black qi, it lifted all four mercenaries who were about to leap over, it leapt at the man in black, its thick sharp claws slashing the ground, debris splattered chaotically, the ground trembled, savagely ferocious.
"Don't!" The four mercenaries shouted.
"Friend! Come and help, you will be greatly rewarded! Hurry!" The man in black struggled to his feet, not caring about his severe injuries, forcibly drew in his breath and swung his heavy blade at the saber-toothed beast.
"Ow roar!" The saber-toothed beast ran over furiously, its huge body standing up, its entire body filled with black wind, and its thick, sharp claws slashing at the man in black.
"Out of the way, out of the way!" The four mercenaries shrieked and rushed out, unable to resist the saber-toothed beast.
"Waaaah!" The man in black grimaced, stomping violently on the ground, slowing his steps as his whole body spun in place, his battle sword dancing madly and slashing the air.
In the nick of time, on the brink of life and death, Qin Wen suddenly killed and charged directly at the saber-toothed beast. The muscle lines of his entire body tensed, rolling power stirring in every cell, extreme power converging in his right arm and right bladder.
"Vajra shakes mountain!"
Qin Wen drank lowly as half of his body slammed firmly into the saber-toothed beast's abdomen, the extreme power unleashed in the extreme.
His full strength strike was at least seven hundred pounds, and the explosive power of Vajra Shaking Mountain was three times as much.
Boom! Ka-ching!
The saber-toothed beast was like a bolt of lightning, its majestic body instantly losing its balance, and even a few ribs in its abdomen were broken.
At the same time, the man in black seized the opportunity, and his heavy blade spun and slashed, cutting off its sharp claws.
"Follow me!" Qin Wen held back his churning blood and followed closely, not waiting for the saber-toothed beast to land, the Great Diffusion Ancient Sword clinking in his hand, the sword taking in the air and stabbing at its throat, where there happened to be a very deep wound. With a snorting sound, the Great Diffusion Ancient Sword pierced the wound precisely, and with Qin Wen's heavy sword slash, the wound instantly expanded to half a meter in length.
"Good!" The black-robed man was ecstatic as he whirled his heavy sword to attack strongly once again, slashing heavily at the saber-toothed beast's head.
"Roar!" The saber-toothed beast screamed in pain as its entire body once again unleashed a terrifying wave of black qi frenzy, with gusts of wind and surging waves of air, strong enough to lift Qin Wen and the man in black back up. However, his severe injuries finally suppressed his anger, and he ceased his harassment and prepared to flee.
"Where to go?" The man in black and the four mercenaries surrounded it, unleashing the last of their fierce energy and attacking with all their might.
Not long after, the saber-toothed beast howled, its huge body collapsing in a pool of blood, no longer moving.
The five humans were covered in wounds, huffing and puffing violently. The female mercenary appeared to be unsteady on her feet, leaning against a tree trunk with her head bowed.
"Friend! Thank you!" The man in black slowed down for a while and took the initiative to thank Qin Wen. Although Qin Wen had only struck twice, he had timed it very well and turned the situation around with two assists.
"You're welcome. What's inside?" Qin Wen pointed at the cave.
"Huh?" The black-robed man's eyes changed slightly, not expecting Qin Wen to have noticed what was inside the cave. Originally, he wanted to give some money to send Qin Wen away.
The other four mercenaries slowly raised their heads and looked at Qin Wen, vigilance slowly growing in their tired eyes.
"No need to be nervous, I won't use the fire. No matter what's inside, I'll take a fifth."
"Inside ...."
"I'll go in and see for myself."
"There's thousand-year-old pine moss inside!" The man in black wasn't sure about Qin Wen's strength and identity, but just from the explosive force that knocked back the saber-toothed beast with a single blow, he must be a very strong and ruthless person, and the sword in his hand didn't look like a mortal product either.
The five of them were now seriously injured, if they flipped out, it really wasn't certain who would live and who would die.
"Introductions?" Qin Wen had never heard of that.
The man in black pointed to the short mountain in front of him, "This short mountain is actually the roots of a thousand-year-old tree, the trunk of the tree is gone, leaving the old roots buried in the short mountain. There is a kind of spiritual treasure growing on the roots called Pine Moss, it is a moss that was formed by drawing the life essence of the Thousand Year Old Tree, it has strong healing medicinal effects, it should belong to the top of the top within the Medium Grade Spiritual Essence".
They had been observing this place for a long time and were able to determine the situation inside. There used to be five saber-toothed beasts guarding the cave, and they had been luring them out one by one to hunt them down for about a month, and they thought that there was only one left that would be easy to deal with, but they didn't expect that this saber-toothed beast would be much stronger than the others.
"I only need a fifth." Qin Wen entered the cave.
The five mercenaries followed closely and entered, the air inside was so fresh that a deep breath was refreshing. The short mountain was indeed the roots of an ancient tree, all kinds of withered old roots were interspersed and intertwined, densely packed, in the innermost part of the cave, where a few old roots were wrapped up, a palm-sized moss was growing, and the rich vitality aura was emanating from it.
Qin Wen didn't take any more, taking only a fifth of the tip.
The man in black warned, ''Don't take more, take a little every day and refine it completely before eating it, or else it will make your body lignify and grow into a tree. I'm not making this up, this has happened.
"Thank you for reminding me. Farewell."
"Wait, friend, may I ask your name?"
"Qin Wen."
"You're alone? The forest is dangerous, do you want to join us?"
"I appreciate your kindness, but I still have things to take care of."
"You're not a disciple of the Qing Yun Sect, are you?" A mercenary suddenly thought of something, the day before yesterday, he ran into a group of mercenaries and reminded them that the disciples of the Qing Yun Sect would be coming to this mountainous region to gather medicine in the near future, telling them to try to avoid them and stay out of trouble.
Qin Wen nodded and left.
The black-robed man completely stopped paying attention to getting the pine moss, he really didn't dare to mess with the Qing Yun Sect. Looking at this man's strength, he must be an upper class disciple, maybe there are other disciples picking herbs nearby.
Thinking of this, they hurriedly left.
They didn't dare to rob Qin Wen anymore, but don't let Qin Wen greet people later and come back to rob them.
Thousand Year Pine Moss ah, a rare treasure, even a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect would be hot for it.
As the sky darkened, Qin Wen found a place to hide, took out the Thousand Year Pine Moss from his bag, and looked at it carefully. It was no different from ordinary moss, but one could feel the rich life qi emanating from it, as well as a cool fragrance.
This kind of thousand-year-old spirit should not only have the effect of healing injuries, but it might also have many, many magical medicinal effects.
"I hope I won't be disappointed." Qin Wen urgently needed to consolidate his Spiritual Martial 4th Heavenly Realm right now, and this was just the right opportunity.
Xiaoxin cut off a small piece and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly, a rich coolness overflowed into his mouth, spreading to his entire body, seeping into his internal organs, muscles, and bones.
If you eat too much, will you become lignified? Do not be afraid! I have the Sheng Sheng Decision!
"The yin and yang connect the orifices, the essence and soul penetrate the posture, and vitality is easily born.
"Wear nine shoes, three on the left, seven on the right, two or four for the shoulders, six or eight for the feet, five in the middle. Yang resides in the four positive, yin returns to the four corners, and the middle five resides in the center, mediating yin and yang. The upper part responds to the Big Dipper, and the lower part protects the eight directions.
Qin Wen silently recited the recitation of the second paragraph of the Sheng Sheng Decree, refining the hard-won millennia-old moss to not only avoid lignification, but also to be more effective than directly absorbing it. As expected, under Qin Wen's guidance, these scattered streams of clear life were gradually brought under control and began to circulate throughout the body, rapidly refining and moistening the organs of the entire body, as if every cell was radiating life.
A small piece of the moss was quickly refined, and Qin Wen simply swallowed the rest, using the Sheng Sheng Resolution to guide the separation.
Unconsciously, the skin of Qin Wen's entire body began to ooze black impurities, more and more, and in a short time, it spread all over his body, like a black slime, but with a hint of dark red color.
Instead of being weirded out, Qin Wen was secretly surprised.
He remembered that when he first practiced the Sheng Sheng Judgement, this kind of situation appeared in his body, as if he was cutting his hair and washing his marrow, transforming his body. After that, every time he penetrated a little bit, his body would experience a similar situation, and his body would constantly change. The fact that Qin Wen was able to be so powerful actually had a lot to do with the Sheng Sheng Decision's marrow purification, otherwise it would be impossible for him to increase his explosive power to 600 or 700 pounds just by practicing, let alone bear the backlash of a triple burst of Vajra Strength.
Only the farther back, the less black phlegm appeared, and after the first segment of cultivation was completed, this situation did not occur again.
Unexpectedly, today's channeling with the second segment of the Sheng Sheng Decree had produced a similar effect, the dark red color in the impurities heralding a deeper effect of the marrow cleansing.
Early the next morning, Qin Wen was refreshed, a smile on his face as he stepped out of the cave where he was hiding, his fatigue and injuries were swept away, his divine sense was like much more sensitive, his whole body was indescribably lighter, he clenched his fists with power, his perfect muscle lines crawled all over his arms, as if his strength had gotten a little stronger again.
I don't know if it's because the thousand-year-old moss has such an effect, or if it's because of the cooperation of the Sheng Sheng Decision, in short, the harvest is unexpectedly wonderful.
Qin Wen went to the nearby small lake to clean up and change his clothes, and then went deeper into the forest to look for Zhao Min.
From Zhao Min's plan to kill herself during the medicine harvest, it wasn't hard to see that this woman had a very evil heart, originally there wasn't such a deep hatred, but she even had to take someone's life. If he didn't solve her this time, he would definitely have a lot of trouble when he returned to the Green Cloud Sect.
