"The strongest leader is about the strength of a second-rate warrior...most of the others are subpar warriors."
Jiang Ming stared at the group of warriors passing by on the street, and saw that none of their blood energy was very strong, and judging from their blood energy circulation, they seemed to be rough, messy, and unsystematic. It did not look like they had practiced any complete skills, but rather like
He is from Yeluzi...
But these people are walking like a tiger, with sharp eyes, and their bodies are covered with various scars. They are obviously people who have been trained for a long time.
However, in terms of physical combat power alone, the second-rate warriors are comparable to some minor cultivators in the early stage of Qi training, and it seems that this is just a team of hunters. There may be stronger beings in this city...
This inconspicuous small town has no special markings on the map. The appearance of such a group of warriors is somewhat beyond Jiang Ming's expectations.
Jiang Ming couldn't help but be aroused and wanted to know more...
"Old man, where is this hero who looks so brave?" Jiang Ming's eyes moved, pointing at these warriors passing by carrying prey, and asked the breakfast stall owner.
"Brother, are you from out of town?" The stall owner is an old man with almost gray hair, but his body looks quite strong. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said: "These are the warriors of our Qingshui City Black Horse Gang.
A strong man who has practiced bloody energy..."
The stall owner was busy while introducing Jiang Ming, so that Jiang Ming also had some understanding of this small town.
In Qingshui City, a mortal city in a land with thin spiritual energy, except for a very small number of people who accidentally embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, most of the others strengthened their bodies and sought a way to survive through martial arts training passed down from their ancestors.
Moreover, young girls with excellent martial arts qualifications will also be selected by some immortal cultivating sects to become disciples of the great cultivating immortal cultivators.
However, such opportunities are naturally extremely rare, and most people can only struggle on the road of martial arts. According to the stall owner, the strongest warrior in Qingshui City should be a first-class warrior...
"Martial artist, blood energy, martial arts master..." Jiang Ming was also a little stunned. These words were too familiar.
"Is it a coincidence or is it related?" Jiang Ming thought of the mortal world and couldn't help but guess where the origin of this martial arts inheritance was.
Is it introduced from the world of immortality to the secular world, or vice versa...
However, even this old man who has lived in Qingshui City all his life does not know when the warriors of Qingshui City first appeared. It seems that they are passed down from generation to generation and cannot be traced back...
It was approaching noon, and there was no one in the stall, and the stall owner was not very busy. Seeing that Jiang Ming wanted to hear these things, he suddenly became more and more enthusiastic about it, and finally even brought out some fragmentary legends and stories.
"About a hundred years ago, the lord of Qingshui City was a cultivator of both immortality and martial arts. He joined the Lijian Sect and became a big shot!"
"Furthermore, I heard from old people that our place was a holy land where martial arts flourished thousands of years ago, and there were even martial saints who were more powerful than those immortal masters who escaped from heaven to earth..."
"It's a pity that none of them are here now..."
"Martial Saint?" Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. This was something he had never heard of in the secular world.
Among the immortal cultivators, Jiang Ming has only seen figures who can be called saints in ancient books. He is definitely a super boss who stands at the pinnacle of the path to immortality. It is hard to say whether there is such a figure in the world of immortality today...
And for those who dare to call themselves martial saints, even if they are not that outrageous, their level is probably not too low...
"It's interesting!" Jiang Ming murmured, this place seemed a bit mysterious.
It seems that the world of cultivating immortals is not without martial arts inheritance, but it is now in decline...
"It seems that the martial arts inheritance in the secular world where immortality was forbidden at that time was most likely passed from this immortal world and then prospered..."
Jiang Ming pondered, and then a somewhat absurd thought flashed through his mind: "Or maybe the martial arts inheritance here came from that world a long time ago. If that's the case... the water in the mortal world can be
It’s a little scary.”
He increasingly had a hunch that the pinnacle of the martial arts path might be no worse than the immortal path...
Moreover, there seemed to be opportunities related to martial arts in the black stone ruins. Combined with this small town less than a thousand miles away from the black stone ruins, a rare warrior in the world of cultivating immortals actually appeared...
Is there any connection between the two?
Jiang Ming's mind was racing. Previously, he just wanted to use this place as a temporary place to stay.
Now he is in no hurry to leave. Anyway, there are still several years before the Black Stone Ruins are opened. It would not be a bad idea to hone his cultivation here and explore these martial arts legends...
"Is there any inn nearby where I can stay temporarily?" Jiang Ming asked after eating and drinking enough, putting down a few grains of broken silver.
At this time, there was only one customer left in the stall, Jiang Ming, and the stall owner was quickly packing up his things and preparing to close the stall. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled with big yellow teeth and said, "If you don't mind, I can live in the old man's house."
, the place is spacious, the price is definitely cheaper than those inns, and it’s cleaner. You don’t have to worry about three meals a day. Although there are no delicacies, it’s definitely enough.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you then."
This old man knew a lot about Qingshui City, and Jiang Ming could learn more about this place from him.
Soon, the old man packed up the stall, loaded all his belongings on a wooden cart, and pushed it off the street to a remote place in the city.
Jiang Ming walked slowly with the old man, and the two exchanged names. Jiang Ming knew that the old man's name was Lu Qingfeng, and that he had a teenage granddaughter who depended on him. His granddaughter usually worked in a shop in the city.
Jiang Mingyong's identity is naturally Yan Chixia...
Soon, the two of them walked to a remote alley and came to an inconspicuous green brick courtyard.
"It's a bit crude, please don't mind, Brother Yan!" Lu Qingfeng walked into the courtyard first, his face reddening and he said.
Obviously, Lu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed to have lured a young man from out of town to stay in a simple place like his own... If he didn't need money urgently, he wouldn't be able to lose face to do this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's very good, just clean it up!" Jiang Ming looked around for a week and was quite satisfied.
This courtyard is simple and empty, but it is quite large. There are four or five rooms, and the space in the courtyard is enough to accommodate a dozen people...
"Huh?" Jiang Ming walked on the green bricks and felt the bumps on the brick surface. His heart suddenly moved slightly and he took a closer look at the yard.
"Before this, it should have been a small martial arts gym..." Jiang Ming quickly described the past scene of this courtyard from some clues in his mind...
For example, those marks on the blue bricks were not caused by ordinary people. They were obviously left by more than one person who practiced martial arts all year round... Jiang Ming has been in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, so he still has some judgment in this regard.
It seems that this old man selling breakfast has quite a story... But Lu Qingfeng didn't say much, and Jiang Ming didn't ask too much. He was just looking for an ordinary place to stay and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"You sit down in the main room for a while, and I'll clean up the room for you..." Lu Qingfeng pushed the wooden cart into the yard and started busy in a hurry.
After a while, Jiang Ming moved into the house that Lu Qingfeng had packed, and he was immediately more sure of his judgment. This Datongbu, which could accommodate four or five people, was obviously a former dormitory...
"They come, the security……"
Jiang Ming doesn't care. For him, living in this place is more reassuring than Xiaoqianshan. At least he doesn't have to worry about any gangsters in the late stage of Qi training rushing in to seek wealth and death...
Just after noon, Jiang Ming had eaten a large bowl of noodles made by Lu Qingfeng and saw him hurriedly going out again carrying a teapot, saying he was going to help in a workshop.
"Working so hard just for a few taels of silver..."
Jiang Ming shook his head and went back into his room. After taking a short rest, he took out several storage rings from his arms, all of which came from Luo Yanyue and other divine eye sect monks.
"Originally, my family's wealth has been almost spent, but I didn't expect that another wave of good-hearted people came... The Dangdang Shenyan Cult, my family's wealth must be better than those of casual cultivators."
Jiang Ming played with several storage rings, couldn't help but smile, and then began to check them one by one.
"Oh,
This is quite a lot of spiritual stones, enough to last me for a while..."
Opening a storage ring at random, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up and he smiled. This person is happiest when he counts money, especially when he counts money given by others...
"Explosive Qi Pill? It can slightly enhance your cultivation, but it will damage the meridians. It is used for temporary bursts. When you are reluctant to use the Mysterious Fire Sacrifice Art in the future, you can take two pills..."
"This elixir is very popular, but unfortunately it is an intermediate elixir, and I heard that only the alchemists in the Fire Lotus Valley have this recipe..."
"Eh? The alchemy cauldron of the intermediate magic weapon level is really effortless to obtain... The small medicine cauldron I bought back then has become somewhat unusable as my cultivation level has increased."
"Huh? Wait a minute...this alchemy cauldron..."
Jiang Ming was suddenly stunned and began to observe carefully with some suspicion.
"Is this something from Fire Lotus Valley?"
He quickly continued to check, and soon found another intermediate alchemy among a pile of jade slips. It was clearly recorded that this alchemy was compiled by the elders of the Fire Lotus Valley...
"These guys from the Divine Eye Sect are really brave!"
Jiang Ming was pleasantly surprised and speechless at the same time. He didn't expect that this intermediate alchemy skill would be obtained in this way.
"The Explosive Qi Pill, the Spirit-Charging Pill that breaks through the small bottleneck, the Soul-Fixing Pill that improves the stability of the soul..."
Jiang Ming browsed through it and accepted the gift with great satisfaction.
The two forces in this small book are indeed good people, and they continue to send resources to themselves...
"I must repay you well in the future!"
A moment later, Jiang Ming found another foundation-building technique in a storage ring...
"Xuanqing Kung, wood attribute technique..."
"Sure enough, there is such a thing..." Jiang Ming was not surprised. There were several ninth-level Qi practitioners among that group of monks. It was not surprising to find foundation-building skills among them.
However, Jiang Ming is not in a hurry to practice. He is not a real peak qi-training monk. He just improved his cultivation with the explosion of the Mysterious Fire Sacrifice Spirit Technique... After polishing his cultivation for a few years, he can enter the black stone ruins.
, it’s not too late to try building the foundation again.
And this Xuan Qing Gong, Jiang Ming took a few glances, and to be honest, he looked down on it... When he was in the mortal world, he was weak and had no choice, but now he has some trump cards, so naturally he has to choose the best among the best.
Later, Jiang Ming found two more foundation-building techniques, one from Luo Yanyue and another person's storage ring. Jiang Ming regarded them as alternative techniques. If he entered the Black Stone Ruins, he still couldn't find any top-level techniques.
method, it is not too late to choose from these exercises to build the foundation.
"Ku Yuan Escape?" Finally, Jiang Ming showed his brightest smile.
After rummaging through Luo Yanyue's storage ring for a long time, he finally found what he wanted most...
The previous battle was a life-and-death struggle for everyone in the Divine Eye Sect, but for Jiang Ming, it was just ordinary. The only thing that interested him was Luo Yanyue's escape technique when she finally escaped.
.
The speed was so fast that Jiang Ming almost didn't catch up, and it seemed that the cost was high. After a while, Luo Yanyue was turned into an old woman...
If this kind of life-threatening escape method was not found, Jiang Ming would really regret it for the rest of his life.
He couldn't wait to read it, and the more he read, the brighter his eyes became.
"Withering Yuan Dun, at the expense of the whole body's essence, blood and lifespan, it explodes at a speed that exceeds the same level. The more essence, blood and lifespan burned, the faster the explosion speed..."
Jiang Ming read this exercise technique several times and remembered it firmly in his mind before he breathed a sigh of relief.
The Meridian Breaking Meridian used to escape back then had become a bit useless after he established his martial arts foundation. Now he finally got another escape method, which is simpler and more crude. If you say you are playing with your life, you are really playing with your life...
"Very good, I like it!"
Jiang Ming grinned. With this escape method, the trip to the Black Stone Ruins is safer...
…
By the time Jiang Ming finished organizing everything, it was already approaching evening.
Jiang Ming made a rough estimate of the harvest this time and found that it already exceeded 10,000 spirit stones. However, some things were different.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s so easy to do, so I’ll talk about it separately...
But even so, this windfall is enough for Jiang Ming to spend all his energy during the Qi training period. Before building the foundation, he should not have to worry about the lack of spiritual stones.
Squeak~
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, Jiang Ming also walked out of the house and saw a delicate girl who had just walked in. She was wearing patched coarse clothes, covered with dust and grass leaves, and her face was dirty.
He was secretly hiding a rusty iron sword into the side room.
"This should be the granddaughter of old Lu Tou, Lu Xiaoyu..." Jiang Ming thought to himself.
"Ah..." Jiang Ming's appearance immediately startled the girl, and she almost threw the iron sword in her hand.
Jiang Ming was a little embarrassed and was about to explain, but the girl quickly adjusted her expression, bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you are my grandpa's guest..."...
Jiang Ming was a little dumbfounded when he saw the young girl's skillful and sensible appearance. It seemed that he was not the first guest to live in this small courtyard. Did this old man Lu owe someone money? He was working so hard to earn money...
However, this girl was familiar with him. After apologizing, she quickly hid the iron sword in the house and started chatting with Jiang Ming.
"You must never tell my grandpa that I came back with an iron sword..." Lu Xiaoyu lowered his voice after just a few words of conversation.
"What iron sword?" Jiang Mingdan said with a smile.
The two of them showed a knowing smile.
It wasn't until late at night that Lu Qingfeng dragged his tired body home. Lu Xiaoyu had already prepared the meal and asked Jiang Ming to eat with him.
"Brother Yan, you can stay here for as many days as you like..." After the meal, Old Man Lu held a few grains of silver in his eyes and said with a smile.
"Old Lu, how embarrassing!" Lu Xiaoyu blushed and patted the table.
Lu Qingfeng shook his head and said indifferently: "We don't steal or rob, and we didn't ask for more from Brother Yan. The price is more than half cheaper than the inn. I have a clear conscience. What's there to be embarrassed about..."
"Do you think so, Brother Yan?"
"Absolutely economical and great value for money!" Jiang Ming quickly smiled and said, this old man Lu is quite interesting.
…
The next morning, Jiang Ming got up early and used to practice boxing at will in the courtyard. Although he did not use his blood energy and martial arts artistic conception, as a martial arts foundation builder, he had studied hundreds of martial arts techniques, and he could easily move with each move.
, which contains countless changes.
Lu Qingfeng walked out of the house and was about to push the wooden cart out of the stall. When he saw Jiang Ming practicing boxing, he was startled and stopped, looking at this scene with somewhat complicated eyes.
