The boundless Taihang Mountains were filled with a primitive atmosphere. There were all kinds of tall trees and strange mountains.
Tigers roared and apes cried. Ferocious beasts were everywhere.
However, in this treacherous mountain forest, a seemingly thin and weak figure often appeared and hunted many wild beasts.
"Damn, I'm so unlucky!" The figure pierced a double-horned boar with his sword and landed on the ground steadily. "This beast ate half of the Serpent-Shaped Fruit!"
The figure was Lin Xuan. He angrily cut off the pair of white horns and put them in his bag.
He had been searching for the Serpent-Shaped Fruit and Viola Licorice for the past few days. After a few days of hard work, he had already found three Serpent-Shaped Fruits and four Viola Licorice. As long as he could gather five of each, he could ask the Wine Lord to brew wine that could improve his cultivation.
Just now, he had finally found a Serpent-Shaped Fruit, but it was eaten by a double-horned boar first. In anger, Lin Xuan had to kill the double-horned boar.
He still needed two more Serpent-Shaped Fruits and a Viola Licorice. He had to hurry! Lin Xuan's figure flashed and he set off again. There were only two months left before the Inner Disciple Examination, but his strength was still at the third level of the Pulse Condensing Stage.
Lin Xuan was like a big bird. His toes touched the ground and he glided in the air. When he landed, he used the branches to support his body so that his whole body was in the air.
The Serpent-Shaped Fruit liked dark and damp places, while the Viola Licorice preferred the sun. Therefore, Lin Xuan could only run around.
Whoosh!
He landed on the trunk of a big tree and his eyes scanned the surroundings. Sure enough, he found the Serpent-Shaped Fruit in a dark place.
Lin Xuan had to admit that his luck was pretty good. Although the Serpent-Shaped Fruit was not very precious, it was not common. Plus, the elders of the Black Sky Sect used a lot of it, so the Serpent-Shaped Fruit in the vicinity was almost all picked.
Lin Xuan stomped his feet and flew towards the Serpent-Shaped Fruit. Before he landed, there was a sudden change in the bushes.
A twin-tailed green snake shot out like a sharp sword, its mouth shaped like a fan, directly biting towards Lin Xuan's head.
"You're courting death!" Lin Xuan roared angrily. His black iron longsword stabbed out as fast as lightning, precisely hitting the vital point. With a flick of his wrist, he infused his spirit energy into the sword. That force immediately tore open the wound, as if an explosion had occurred.
After dealing with the Twin-Tailed Green Snake, Lin Xuan quickly grabbed the Snake Shaped Fruit. As soon as he touched it, he felt a sense of danger.
He madly channeled the Art of Longevity, and his entire palm glowed with a green light, like a bright moon.
Chi!
Two sharp sounds rang out. There were two finger-sized snakes hidden under the leaves of the Snake Shaped Fruit. The moment Lin Xuan's palm fell, they bit him.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan's reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, he would have been bitten. Although this snake was small in size, its venom was very strong. Generally, if someone below the sixth rank of the Meridian Condensing Stage was bitten by it, even if they didn't die, they would be crippled.
Lin Xuan directly used his strength to kill the two small snakes. Then, he took the Snake Shaped Fruit and the gallbladder of the Twin-Tailed Green Snake, putting it into his backpack.
"No matter what, these materials can still be sold for some spiritual stones. However, my backpack is almost full. I can't fit them all in!" Lin Xuan looked at the remaining materials, his eyes filled with reluctance. Those were all spiritual stones!
"You bumpkin, you can't even bear to part with these things!" Wine Lord's mocking voice rang out.
"Uncle Drunkard, didn't you say you should greet me before you speak?" Lin Xuan was a bit mad. He was actually being looked down upon by a drunkard.
"En, I haven't thought of how to greet you yet. You can't make me knock on the door." Wine Lord rolled his eyes, "You're still too young. Like me, I can completely adapt to the days in your body."
"F * ck!" Lin Xuan wanted nothing more than to crawl into his backpack and beat him up. However, for the sake of the spirit wine and the cultivation of the Thunderous Sword Technique, he endured it.
"I say, Little Xuan, you have to hurry up and find the thousand-year-old spirit fruit. Otherwise, Wine Lord, I, will fall into an eternal slumber."
"What?" Lin Xuan was shocked. This guy had tricked him into giving him so many things, and he still hadn't fulfilled any of them.
"I say, Uncle, you should at least teach me the Thunderous Sword Technique and be in a deep slumber!" Lin Xuan shouted.
"Little brat, if I could get out, I would have taught you a good lesson long ago." Wine Lord was so angry that he kept shouting.
Lin Xuan bickered with Wine Lord as he searched for the remaining materials. Under Wine Lord's guidance, Lin Xuan quickly found five Snake Shaped Fruits and five Purple Flower Licorice Roots.
"Uncle, don't tell me you're some kind of demonic beast in disguise? Why is your nose so sharp?" Lin Xuan said happily.
Wine Lord was speechless.
"Uncle, do you want to collect more?" Lin Xuan continued, "Five fruits can make more, is that enough?"
"If you keep talking, I won't make more!" Wine Lord threatened.
… …
The five Snake Shaped Fruits and five Purple Flower Licorice Roots were put away by Wine Lord. Lin Xuan could only wait patiently. According to Wine Lord, he had to be at least at the fourth level of the Meridians Stage before he could start practicing the Thunderous Sword Technique. Otherwise, his body wouldn't be able to control that power.
Whoosh!
A shadow suddenly fell from the sky, as if the sky was covered.
Lin Xuan raised his head and found that the sky above him was pitch black. A violent gust of wind came from above, sweeping in all directions. Rows of trees were blown into the sky, and table-sized boulders were blown everywhere.
Lin Xuan was enveloped by this strange gust of wind. It was too late for him to escape, so he could only crazily circulate his spiritual power and rely on his own strength to resist this gust of wind.
That gust of wind was like a steel knife, cutting through his body. Lin Xuan's feet were deeply rooted into the ground. His hands were placed in front of his chest, resisting with all his might.
Fortunately, this gust of wind came quickly and left quickly. Soon, the shadow in the sky moved forward along with the gust of wind. Lin Xuan was finally out of danger.
He raised his head in fear and found that the shadow was actually a huge bird that covered the sky. That huge bird spread its wings, creating two hurricanes under its wings, wantonly destroying the forest below.
"Damn, what rank is this demonic beast? It's so big!" Lin Xuan said with lingering fear.
"When can I cover the sky with one hand, move mountains and fill the sea?!" Lin Xuan yearned to be that kind of strong martial artist. As a martial artist, there was no one who didn't want to stand at the peak of martial arts. Lin Xuan longed to become strong, because he wanted to control his own destiny!
After risking his life to circulate his mysterious technique, the fourth spiritual vein in his body was already loosening. In a few days, he would definitely be able to open the fourth spiritual vein and become a fourth level spiritual knight.
At this moment, Wine Lord's voice sounded again, "Alright, Little Xuan 'zi, with this lord's spiritual wine, I guarantee that you'll break through quickly!"
However, remember to find me a spiritual fruit. I just woke up not long ago, and I don't want to fall asleep again. Wine Lord's voice gradually became softer. Don't drink too much, you can only drink one mouthful at a time …
"Looks like this guy's situation is really bad. Forget it, after I break through, I'll find him a spiritual fruit." Lin Xuan had an idea. Without hesitation, he found a nearby cave and went in.
Lin Xuan held a small purple gourd in his hand. Inside was the spiritual wine brewed by Wine Lord. He opened the lid and drank a mouthful.
