As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Novel2

78 Treasure

The new year began.

The country of Yan, which had experienced war, finally calmed down.

The Imperial Army was unimpeded all the way and took over the northern prefectures.

The Green Mountain Army was defeated. It was said that Lord Cangshan was also seriously injured by two Grandmasters. He led the army to defend North Peace City in the northern border, based on the natural barrier of the red pine snowfield. They were in a temporary standoff with the Imperial Army.

!!

In Great Cloud City, the Imperial Army would occasionally catch some scattered soldiers who had fled to the villages and towns to cause trouble, but they were not a cause for concern in general.

Jiang Ming walked into Old Jiang’s bar and asked for a pot of wine and a few side dishes. He sat in front of a wooden table by the window and began to eat and drink leisurely.

“I still have to enjoy life.”

The sun was warm on his face. Jiang Ming squinted slightly, and his body was completely relaxed. He chatted with the drunk customers.

Jiang Ming had been practicing the new technique non-stop for the entire month. However, after he took a break, he realized he had to slow down. There was no hurry.

“From now on, I’ll only use the Vitality-Snatching Technique three times a day. I can’t go any further. At this rate, I’ll be able to reach the peak of a second-class martial artist in less than three months.”

Jiang Ming made a cultivation plan for himself and began to practice step by step. Even if he only used the Vitality-Snatching Technique three times a day, it was equivalent to more than a month of cultivation in the past. This speed was already fast enough.

Since he transmigrated, Jiang Ming had been anxious and practiced martial arts hard. However, now that the Shi family had been destroyed and the rebel army had been defeated, there was not much else to do. On the surface, he was already about to become a martial artist and was more or less an authority figure in Peace Town.

As long as he did not go out and get involved in all kinds of fights. There was basically no one in Great Cloud City who would come and find trouble with him.

“What’s the point of cultivating? Isn’t it to live a comfortable life? Isn’t it good to relax and have fun?” Jiang Ming slowly took a big sip of wine, closed his eyes, and sighed.

In the bar, many customers were also discussing the major events that had happened during this period of time.

“The Shi family is completely gone. Less than a tenth of their members survived. Even the Shi family’s courtyard has been doused with kerosene and burned clean.”

“I heard that the people from the Liang family in the capital city have already arrived at Great Cloud City. They are extremely furious about the Shi family’s annihilation. They have offered a huge reward for the murderer and have declared that they will definitely behead the murderer in public.”

“Didn’t they say that the Shi family betrayed the Liang family? Shouldn’t the Liang family be happy?”

“Man, I don’t know.”

“I heard that the Liang family’s anger may have another reason. I heard that the Shi family took something from the Liang family.”

“I heard that the Liang family instructed the Shi family to enter the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest to look for some treasure. After the Shi family found the treasure, they sneaked away.”

Jiang Ming suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly thought of something.

During this month, he had also been sorting out and studying the various things he had obtained from the Shi family. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were invaluable.

Among all the things he obtained from the Shi family, the only thing that Jiang Ming could not figure out was the yellow crystals that he dug out from Shi Junwei’s body.

No matter what method he used, he could not find anything special about them except that they were extraordinarily hard.

The only thing he could be sure of was that when the yellow crystals came close to his body, they would speed up the circulation of his blood Qi, which seemed to have some effect on improving his martial arts skills. action

Jiang Ming guessed that it was because of this that Shi Junwei was regarded as a genius in Great Cloud City.

However, Jiang Ming did not intend to use them. Why would he use these crystals when he had the Vitality-Snatching Technique?

Moreover, the yellow crystals surely had a more important use.

“Could it be that these crystals are the Shi family’s hidden treasures?” Jiang Ming’s heart trembled slightly. It was impossible for the other things of the Shi family to move a giant like the Liang family.

The only reason must be because of these yellow crystals.

“If these rumors are true, and the Shi family found these yellow crystals from the mountains, then this might be related to the secret of the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. I’ll study the crystals slowly. One day, I’ll find out its true power. Maybe I’ll really find a way to become an immortal,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself, not panicking at all.

If the Liang family supported the Shi family here, it was for the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest’s treasure. They would definitely have follow-up actions, so he did not need to worry. He just had to watch them act.

“But no matter what, the world can finally be peaceful for a while.” Jiang Ming listened to the laughter in the bar and smiled. He drank the wine in his mug and walked out of the bar.

Jiang Ming bought an axe and carried it to the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest.

The old wooden house had been destroyed. Jiang Ming planned to build a new one and continue his idle life in the mountains.

“Other than my cultivation plan, I have to put my ‘beast-taming plan’ on the agenda as well!”

As Jiang Ming walked, he was also thinking. He was ready to go down the mountain to buy medicinal herbs and refine medicine with his blood after the wooden house was built.

In the past, he was too lazy to use his blood to refine medicine. He just needed to tame one rabbit. But now, he had no choice but to expand his team of beasts.

Since the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest was mysterious, Jiang Ming naturally wanted to explore it. However, it was impossible for him to go deep into the mountains by himself. He could only tame some beasts to lead the way.

In the forest, Jiang Ming walked alone before he disappeared into the fog.
