Qin Wen left the scene with the Golden Cocoon Bronze Sword and didn't rush back to Eagle Mountain, continuing to search for spirit herbs in the forest and finding some spirit demons to spar with in the meantime.
There were still ten days until the gathering time, and since it was rare to get out once, he didn't want to waste the opportunity.
With Zhao Min's threat eliminated, he had even less to worry about.
For a few days in a row, the harvest was good, he found four low-grade Spirit Grasses, three low-grade Spirit Fruits, and even fought some Spirit Demons. Qin Wen worked hard to consolidate his Spirit Martial 4th Heavenly Realm, trying to give himself as much room for improvement as possible.
Along the way, he had also encountered many exploring mercenary teams, and each time, they had left far away without waiting to meet.
But today, instead of avoiding the mercenary team, Qin Wen slowly approached them when he saw them.
By the side of a stream, a group of mercenaries had just rounded up a tin-skinned wild bull, and they were working feverishly to separate the horns and leather armor, which were valuable treasures that could be sold for a good price in the city.
Each of them wore a bulging belt, looking like they had a good harvest.
Qin Wen noticed one of them, a middle-aged man, whose body was covered in electricity, bursting with strong light, reflecting his knife-sharp, tough face, giving people a very strong sense of oppression. His right arm was even wrapped with a thick thunder snake, not a real spirit demon, it was a pure cohesive form of lightning thunder snake, lifelike, snake head raised, as if hissing in the sky.
This scene, magnificent and shocking, even more stunning Qin Wen, a touch of longing sprouted in his heart.
It was this middle-aged man who had beaten back the iron-skinned brute bull with a single blow, and at that moment, his entire body's electricity was red-hot, the powerful light piercing his eyes, and the thunder serpent even detached itself from his arm, tumbling down to wrap around the brute bull's body with a thunderous roar, violently exploding and forming an intense thunderstorm.
"Purple Electricity Crazy Snake, worthy of a top-class spirit level martial art, powerful enough, not for nothing did I spend ten thousand quantities of gold." The man raised his arms high into the air and looked up at the sky, the electricity streaming densely around him as the thunder snake hissed fiercely. He had used it many times in a row, and each time, it was an incredibly effective move.
"This kind of overwhelming martial art can only be mastered by a big brother!" A fiery woman smiled in praise.
A man cleaned the sharp horns of a wild bull by the stream and grinned, "We've had a good harvest this time, go back and exchange it for gold, then get Big Brother a set of handy weapons.
The middle-aged man dispersed the thunder snake, "Weapons aren't needed, it's better to find another set of suitable martial arts for you. The stronger the martial arts, the stronger the power will be, so we can go further in the future. In three years, strive to have each brother cultivate a martial art of the higher spirit level."
"Listen to Big Brother." The other mercenaries all laughed out loud.
"Who's there! Get out!" The man's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at where Qin Wen was hiding.
Was there someone there? The other mercenaries grabbed their blades at the first opportunity, their expressions icy cold as they stood at attention.
Qin Wen stood in the forest without showing himself, "I have no malice, I was just passing by and heard the noise and came to take a look."
"The main road leads to heaven, everyone go their own way, please!"
"There's no hurry. I have a nice sword, I hope I can trade it for your Purple Electricity Crazy Snake's Martial Technique!"
A high level spirit martial art and a lightning martial art could not be more suitable for Qin Wen.
The Green Cloud Sect did not allow him to cultivate martial arts, at least not for a long time.
If you don't give it to me, I'll change it myself!
He happened to be holding Qiao Chen's Golden Cocoon Bronze Sword.
"Treasure sword? Take it out and have a look." The middle-aged man quietly signaled to his brothers to brace themselves and watch the surrounding dense forest to see if there were any others lurking.
Qin Wen paused for a while, put on his bark mask, stepped out of the dense forest, and raised the Golden Coco Bronze Sword in his hand.
The bronze sword vibrated slightly, emitting a pleasant clanking sound, its surface glittered with light, and the gold coins were very eye-catching, not ordinary products at first glance.
The eyes of these mercenaries lit up, a good sword!
"Bring it here first." The woman's weapon happened to be a sword, and as soon as she saw the bronze sword, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Qin Wen retreated into the forest, "Change the trading place, it's just up ahead."
"Big Brother, could it be a trap?" The other mercenaries were cautious.
"Everyone spread out and go over to take a look first." The middle-aged man cautiously followed over.
Qin Wen came to the nearby cliff, below was the rushing river, if there was any danger, he would jump down at the first opportunity. He had deep concerns about these mercenaries and didn't dare to be convinced.
The middle-aged man and woman came out of the dense forest and followed them to the edge of the cliff, while everyone else stayed in the forest on alert.
"Where did this sword come from? Why did you change it?"
"I picked it up! A few days ago, I saw a group of mercenaries chasing after some people as if they were trying to grab this sword, and then unfortunately, they encountered a swarm of red-eyed poisonous spiders, which I happened to pick up." Qin Wen wasn't afraid that someone would trace it afterward, when the time came, he would say that he picked it up on the road, it's not like I knew it was Qiao Chen's. Qiao Chen and the others died because of that group of mercenaries, it has nothing to do with me.
"I'll take a look first." The middle-aged man could sense that this teenager's aura wasn't strong, and he chose this place because he was cautious, slowly letting his guard down.
Qin Wen casually threw up a stone, the bronze sword vibrated in the air and easily sliced through it, the cut was smooth and flush. "One hand for martial arts, one hand for weapons."
The woman's eyes couldn't hide her longing and silently touched the man. "Big Brother, anyway, you've already studied the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake thoroughly, why don't you ..."
The man hesitated, although he had researched the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake thoroughly, he could still sell it for a good price by auctioning it elsewhere. "My martial arts are at the upper spirit level, do you think your sword is qualified enough to replace it?"
"It's up to you whether you want to replace it or not, and it's up to you whether it's worth the price." Qin Wen stepped back and stood at the edge of the cliff.
"You broke into Cloud Luo Forest all by yourself?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
"What's your name?"
"It also has nothing to do with you, I'm just here to make a deal with you."
The middle-aged man hesitated again and again and asked the woman next to him, "Do you really like it?"
"I love it!"
The middle-aged man took out the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake's martial art, a worn parchment scroll, and threw it at Qin Wen.
Qin Wen picked it up, flipped through it for a moment, and threw the Golden Cove Bronze Sword as well.
The woman caught it in the air and excitedly juggled it a few times with a smile on her face.
"This bronze sword might have a special origin, I advise you all to use it carefully. Farewell, everyone." Qin Wen jumped down directly from the cliff, more than thirty meters high, hanging upside down and leaping into the air with a loud bang, splashing the sky with water.
"This child is quite excited." The woman stood at the edge of the cliff and looked around, just now she really had the heart to take back the martial arts.
Late night!
Qin Wen hid in a hidden cave, lit a fire, and looked through the martial arts.
Originally, thunder and lightning type martial arts were very rare, and the upper spirit level was even rarer, not realizing that he would have the opportunity to obtain it.
This was also the first time Qin Wen had studied martial arts outside of the Great Diffusion Sword Code.
Compared to the arcane Great Diffusion Sword Classic, the Purple Lightning Thunder Snake was obviously more suitable for Qin Wen at this stage.
But when he looked at it, he felt that it was not right, the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake had a total of seven major moves before and after, which seemed to be quite good. However, when he took a closer look, from one section to five sections, and then to six sections, they were all related to distraction, transformation, polymorphism, and releasing thunder and lightning, and were not at all the kind of moves that had a very strong killing power.
"I've been tricked?"
Qin Wen's brow furrowed as he glanced back and forth, studying. That's right, the first six paragraphs were all about how to use methods to harness thunder and lightning, and were not of the offensive type, not lethal at all.
"Seventh section, Thunder Snake Whistle."
Qin Wen hurriedly flipped to the end, staring and studying, looking over and over again. A short while later, Qin Wen's heart was sure and he let out a long sigh of relief, he had finally figured it out, this martial art seemed to have many movements, but to be honest, there was only one paragraph, the seventh paragraph!
The essence of Purple Electricity Crazy Snake was in this section.
The first six sections were both the way to use lightning and the steps to perform the seventh section.
In order to perform the Thunder Snake Whistle, one had to study the first six segments thoroughly and execute them smoothly, segment by segment, overlapping and merging to form the Thunder Snake, which, once formed, would produce a qualitatively strong and powerful force.
Generally speaking, each segment of a top Spirit Grade martial technique would have good killing power, with one segment being stronger than the other, and each segment having its own characteristics, whereas the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake set of martial techniques was a wild and alternative martial technique, just like the 'crazy' in its name, that pursued the release of the moment of release after prolonged suppression.
Upon understanding the situation, a smile appeared on Qin Wen's face. Not bad, it didn't let him down.
For three days in a row, Qin Wen hid in this cave and studied the Purple Lightning Thunder Snake, the first six segments looked simple, but to fully understand and master it, the difficulty was not small, especially in the later stages when he wanted to merge into a 'Thunder Snake', he had to master the complex movements of the first six segments and execute them continuously in just a few seconds, otherwise the Thunder Snake wouldn't be able to take shape! let alone exert its power.
The more complex it was, the more difficult it was.
Qin Wen looked forward to the day when he would practice it, and even more so, he looked forward to the power of the Thunder Snake Whistle.
On the fourth day, he packed up his martial arts method, carried the Great Diffusion Ancient Sword on his back, and returned to Eagle Mountain, where he had agreed to meet, to wait for the other Pill Mountain disciples to return.
