Chapter 24: Divine Art

  Chapter 24: Divine Art

  The Qin family, as the top hunter family in Huangsha City, had been influencing Qin Li since he was young, and he also knew a lot about this aspect. What Qin Li wanted to do most now was to improve his strength, and what he needed most was a battle technique that suited him!

  The ways to obtain martial skills, apart from those major family sects or royal families, are auction houses and the Hunter's Guild. As for auction houses, Qin Li didn't even need to think about it - high-level martial skills that cost tens of thousands of silver coins per copy were not something he could afford at present. Therefore, if he wanted to obtain a high-level martial skill, his only option was to go to the Hunter's Guild.

  Employers entrust the Hunter Association to post some tasks with various rewards in money or goods, and as long as they can complete the task, they can get paid. The Hunter Association acts as an intermediary and guarantor, and can extract a certain amount of remuneration from it.

  Generally speaking, the difficulty of a task and its reward are directly proportional. The higher the difficulty, the better the reward! In the Hunter's Guild, there are not a few tasks that offer yuanli xinfa and combat skills as rewards, but most of them are low-level and common. There are also some mid-level ones, but the difficulty is quite high. Those who can complete them often have at least one mid-level skill book, but it's hard for one person to do it alone. This has resulted in many teams in the Hunter's Guild recruiting partners to collaborate.

  If someone is willing to offer a high-level skill book as the task reward, then you can imagine how difficult this task is! The Hunter's Guild of Huangsha City has only had such a task once in all these years, and that was over twenty years ago.

  Legend has it that one of the four major danger zones in the Yellow Sand City, the Absolute Killing Grounds, contains an ancient relic. At that time, someone offered a price code, using a high-level sword technique as payment, to hire adventurers to find the relic. As long as they could find the exact location and draw a detailed map, then serve as a guide to take him there, the task would be considered complete.

  For over a decade, no less than hundreds of people, one after another, have fallen in this task, with no one able to complete it. It's said that among the warriors who took on this task, there was even a strong Rank 1 Earth-level warrior! Similarly, no one has ever seen him return, so until today, that high-level sword technique remains locked in the secret room beneath the guild.

  This mission, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, is also considered the first of the top ten terrifying missions by adventurers. The once-popular mission has fallen to the point where no one asks about it today.

  In the Hunter's Guild of Yellow Sand City, the second-ranked terrifying mission among the top ten is also a quest to find ancient ruins. In the hearts of many people, this mission is even more frightening than exploring the Absolute Killing Grounds.

  The reason is not the task itself, but the pay.

  This task is to explore the ancient ruins submerged in Phoenix Lake. Many years ago, someone accidentally discovered the existence of buildings inside Phoenix Lake and successfully brought out several exquisite ancient artifacts worth a fortune! The person who discovered the ruins also swore that the building was well-preserved and there was a mysterious power that blocked the invasion of water flow. However, the danger lies in the fact that there are many aquatic spirit beasts in Phoenix Lake, among which many have never been seen by humans before!

  And the reward for this task is a divine-level skill manual!

  Many people are skeptical about the existence of divine martial arts, just like many people don't believe in the existence of extraordinary beings or mysterious sects on the Tianyuan Continent. After all, this is too elusive and unrealistic for them. They all think that hearing is false and seeing is true, and they refuse to acknowledge things they have never seen before.

  So there has been a lot of controversy about this divine martial art, but one thing that cannot be denied is that it is indeed very powerful when cultivated!

  "Hey kid, how's it going? I'm not trying to deceive you, I swear on my honor that what I'm saying is true! This martial art is absolutely divine! If you don't believe me, you can start practicing it right now. Even if you only have one level of yuan force, I guarantee that after practicing it, you'll be able to easily defeat opponents who are two or three levels stronger than you! And if you manage to master it completely... Ha! Even opponents who are one level higher than you will no longer be a match for you!"

  An old man with long hair, seemingly not washed for several months, dressed in tattered clothes, sat behind a worn-out table, spitting and boasting to Qin Li.

  Just now, right here at this old man's place, Qin Li heard a lot of interesting stories about adventurers. Originally, Qin Li wanted to take on that high-level swordsmanship death mission, but was dragged over here by the old man, who even scolded Qin Li for being reckless. That mission was typically suicidal. However, in Qin Li's opinion, this slovenly old man's mission wasn't much stronger than that one!

  Feng Huang Hu, sounds like a beautiful name, but any local of the Yellow Sand City wouldn't think so, that's simply a place where people go in and never come out!

  Fenghuang Lake's water is clear and icy, and when there is no wind, it looks like a mirror. The surrounding mountains are surrounded by four sides, like a paradise on earth. However, whether in the lake or in the surrounding mountains, there are fierce beasts everywhere, and even many have reached the realm of transformation! Spiritual beasts and humans have always been enemies, and human warriors entering this place can imagine the danger.

  Not to mention, Qin Li's IQ is not low, a divine-level battle technique was given away for free before the task even started... Is there such a good thing in the world? Even if there is, can it be his turn? Probably all the leftovers have been snatched up already!

  And look at the name of this so-called divine technique, Qin Li had an urge to laugh.

  Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I am the only one who is revered... This is the full name of this skill! A brand new cover, the words are not bad, very bold and unrestrained, but even a young child can see that this skill has been copied countless times, and they don't even bother to make it look old... This old man is simply an unprofessional old swindler!

  The Hunter's Guild was bustling with people coming and going, and many noticed the commotion here, whispering to each other and snickering. Some even shouted loudly: "Old Man Qi, you're cheating again! Your divine technique can't even exchange for two catties of wine, just a ignorant little kid, hahaha!" The speaker was a burly man with a big waist, who seemed to have considerable strength, loudly ridiculing the disheveled old man.

  "Bullshit! My kung fu is the best in the world! You guys don't have what it takes to cultivate it, so shut your mouths!" The slovenly old man retorted with a flick of his eyes, showing no weakness.

  Someone else chimed in, laughing and saying: "Forget it, cultivating other techniques costs money, but cultivating your dogshit divine-level technique is going to cost you your life! Unless someone's tired of living, they wouldn't dare cultivate this thing."

  At this time, the big man with a large waist and round belly walked over, patted Qin Li's shoulder, and grinned: "Come on, little brother, I can tell you're a first-timer here. Don't let this old guy cheat you, I'll tell you about his crappy top-level technique, haha."

  The young man who was completely absorbed in listening was dragged away by that guy, and Qi Lao Tou scolded loudly, but he didn't dare to really find trouble with the big fellow.

  Because everyone here knows that this big man who often appears here is the "Iron Fist" Ah Hu, who has a great reputation in the entire Huangsha City adventure circle!

  A master of the seventh rank of Xuan level!
