”Natural resources and earthly treasures, those who are able to use them. So what if it was you guys who killed him? ” Someone refuted.

”Before, I didn't do anything, but now, I want a share? How could there be such a good thing in the world? ” Xia Hou Zun grinned, then looked at Qin Lie, a ruthless look flashing past his eyes: ”Qin Lie, let's work together, we can clear a few flies, then decide on the ownership of the martial arts technique, what about that?”

”That's exactly what I was thinking.” Qin Lie nodded, he then turned around and coldly looked at everyone.

Now, the situation seemed to have changed. With Qin Lie and the Xia Hou Zun combined, it was enough to sweep the place.

”We'll join hands as well!” The faces of the remaining disciples paled as they replied, unwilling to be outdone.

”You have no chance.” Qin Lie's figure flashed, cooperating with Xia Hou Zun, he rushed towards them like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

”Half for you and half for me!” Xia Hou Zun shouted.

A moment later, those disciples left with bruises all over their faces.

Actually, if they were to form a group, Qin Lie and Xia Hou Zun would have to expend a bit of effort to force them to retreat. However, Qin Lie and Xia Hou Zun did not give them the chance to do so.

”Haha, I really didn't misjudge you. You are indeed an opponent worth being.” The battle had ended. Xia Hou Zun suddenly grinned and laughed.

”Needless to say, if they don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they do, I'll wipe out their entire family.” Qin Lie said, then pointed to the ball of martial arts light and said: ”Take this martial arts, I will go hunt another one.”

”This …” This time, it was the Xia Hou Zun who felt embarrassed. He thought for a moment and said, ”Alright, I'll hunt with you.”

”Thank you!”

After a moment, Qin Lie met another Vicious Beasts, and it was also carrying the ball of martial arts light.

This was an Archaic Barbaric Ox with jet-black fur that was as dense as silk. It had a pair of sharp horns on its head, and could be considered a powerful weapon.

After spending a lot of effort, Qin Lie finally killed this Barbaric Ox and obtained the ball of martial arts light.

”Swish …”

Qin Lie probed into a strand of his consciousness, and strands of ancient and obscure fluctuations rippled into Qin Lie's mind, and a few large bright words appeared in his mind.

”Mortal Grade Seven, Yuan Devouring Palm …”

After sensing the information on the martial arts, Qin Lie's expression became serious, and he asked the Xia Hou Zun: ”What is the martial arts you have obtained?”

”Human Level Eight, Great Sun Palm.”

Nodding his head, Qin Lie did not speak further.

In his mind, Qin Lie memorized the moves of this martial art.

It was only less than an hour from the closing of the Martial Hall, and Qin Lie subconsciously looked towards the Great Way of Thunder, discovering that Xia Menglan was the calmest person there, and no one dared to snatch the martial arts away from him.

After that, Qin Lie went to the Great Way of the Thunder and the Great Way of the Wind to choose some martial arts, but he did not obtain any high ranked martial arts.

After the Kung Fu Hall came out, Qin Lie walked out from inside, as if he was unsatisfied, and saw Xia Tianheng walking over with a face full of smiles: ”Nephew Qin Lie, is there any martial arts that you are satisfied with?”

He did not have any good impression of Xia Tianheng, so after thinking for a while, Qin Lie opened his mouth and said: ”My luck is not very good, I did not manage to pick a better one, and can only randomly choose a few books.” The meaning behind his words was that if I don't get what I want, then there's no need to talk about the matter of the spiritual herbs.

As expected, Xia Tianheng's expression froze, his muscles twitched, but it was difficult for it to flare up.

Once he returned to the residence, Qin Lie started to wholeheartedly ponder over the Starpicker's Hand and the Essence Swallowing Palm.

The Starpicker's Hand was the biggest harvest of all. Although it was only at the third stage of the Human Realm, its value was incalculable.

He remembered clearly that the first time he tried to comprehend it, he would see the image of the bright moon appearing in his sea of consciousness. But after that, no matter how Qin Lie tried, he couldn't see this scene anymore.

There was also the Devouring Yuan Palm, which was discovered in the Great Way of Fire. However, this martial art was obviously not fire-attributed.

After circulating the Yuan Devouring Palm once through, Qin Lie was surprised to find that when he finished circulating it, not only did he not have any energy at all, he had even consumed all of the spirit energy in his body!

”What kind of lousy martial art is this?” It actually devours its own spirit energy?! ” Qin Lie was shocked, he immediately stopped training, this technique was too strange!

Qin Lie thought about the two types of martial arts again and again, but he was still confused. He couldn't find any entrance points, so he gave up in the end.

Putting aside the Starpicker's Hand, it still had some power. With his current strength, he could almost lock down a small space, and it was still somewhat useful.

However, Qin Lie was unable to find any clues about this Yuan Devouring Palm. A few times in a row, Qin Lie unleashed no power at all, not even a trace of spirit energy fluctuations from this martial art. On the contrary, his own spirit energy was strangely swallowed, there was a strange power, the Silkworm Swallowing Whale was consuming his spirit energy.

In the end, Qin Lie could not help but confirm that not only was this technique unable to harm his opponent, it could also cause damage to the user.
