Chapter 77 The treasure touches people’s hearts

A month later, the ice and snow melted, everything revived, and a new year began...

The Yan State, which had gone through wars, finally gradually calmed down.

The imperial army marched unhindered and took over the northern prefectures.

The Cangshan Army was completely defeated, and it was rumored that the Cangshan King was also besieged and seriously injured by two martial arts masters. He led his army to stay in the Beining Mansion in northern Xinjiang, living according to the natural dangers of the glaciers in the Chisong Snowfield... and formed a temporary confrontation with the imperial army.

In Dayun Mansion, we can occasionally catch scattered soldiers who fled to the villages and towns to cause chaos, but overall they are not a cause for concern.

…

Ping'an Town.

I don't know when another pawn stood at the entrance of the town. The old god was waiting for the herb collectors coming down the mountain...

"Life is still the same as before, just make do..." Many people say this.

But this is what the people who survived said.

If those who died in the war and the snow could speak again, I'm afraid they wouldn't say this...

Jiang Ming walked into Lao Jiangtou's tavern and ordered a bottle of wine and some side dishes... He sat at a wooden table by the window and started eating and drinking leisurely.

"You still have to enjoy life..." The sun was shining warmly on his face. Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, relaxed his body completely, and chatted with the drunken drinkers without saying a word.

A month ago, Jiang Ming, who had just obtained the Yuan Seizing Technique, looked like a poor man who had not eaten meat for decades. His eyes were shining, and he had practiced hard for several days without eating or sleeping... but his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Then he couldn't stand it anymore!

It's not that I can't bear it physically, but mentally... The feeling of suffocation on the verge of death every time the vitality is taken away is so uncomfortable that it makes Jiang Ming feel a little nauseous just thinking about it now, just like after eating for several days.

Like big fat meat...

"No one in Dayun Mansion can threaten me for the time being... Plus I'm immortal... Why should I suffer this..."

"From now on, I will only use the Yuan Seizing Technique three times a day... and no more. According to this progress, I will be able to reach the peak of a second-rate warrior in less than three months. I will try my best when the time comes..."

Jiang Ming made a training plan for himself and began to practice step by step. Even if he only used the Yuan Seizing Technique three times a day, it would be as good as more than a month of practice... This speed is already fast enough.

Ever since he time traveled across time, Jiang Ming has been tensing up and practicing martial arts hard... However, now that the Shi family has been destroyed, the rebels have been defeated, and Jiang Ming has a background in Hunting Tiger Village, he is on the verge of becoming a martial artist.

He is also considered a character.

As long as he doesn't wander around and doesn't participate in various struggles... there is basically no one in Dayun Mansion, so they will come to trouble him if they are idle.

"What's the purpose of practicing? Isn't it better to live a comfortable life, drink wine, and listen to theater..." Jiang Ming took a long sip of wine, closed his eyes, and thought about the taste...

In the tavern, many drinkers were also discussing the major events that happened during this period.

"The Shi family is completely gone. Those who were killed fled, not even one out of ten was left alive... Even the Shi Mansion was poured with kerosene and burned to the ground..."

"I heard that people from the Liang family in the capital have arrived at Dayun Mansion. They are extremely angry at the destruction of the Shi family. They offer a large reward for the murderer and threaten to show the murderer's head to the public..."

"Didn't it mean that the Shi family betrayed the Liang family? Shouldn't the Liang family be happy?"

"Hey, your dog bit you twice and ran out to play, but was chopped up by an outsider. Are you happy? If you want to chop it, you have to chop it yourself..."

"But I heard that there might be another reason for the Liang family's anger. I heard that the Shi family took something belonging to the Liang family..."

"How come I heard that the Liang family instructed the Shi family to go to Yunmeng Mountain to find the treasure, but after the Shi family found it, they secretly concealed it..."

All kinds of "heard..." were true or false, but no one cared. It was originally a pastime after dinner, and the discussion became more and more lively...

Jiang Ming suddenly opened his eyes and thought of something for a moment.

This month, he has also been sorting out and studying various things he got from the Shi family. Needless to say, magic formulas and prescriptions, they are all the true secrets of a force. Although they are not silver taels, it is not enough to say that they are worth tens of thousands of gold.

Pass.

Among all the things in the Shi family, the only thing Jiang Ming has not been able to study thoroughly is the dozen or so yellow crystals dug out from Shi Junwei's body...

No matter what method he used to toss it, smash it with a sledgehammer, soak it in water, burn it with fire... or even trigger his super-sense to explore it, apart from the fact that it was surprisingly hard, he couldn't find anything special about it.

The only thing that is certain is that when the yellow crystal is close to the body, it will speed up the circulation of one's own blood energy, which seems to have some improvement effect on martial arts training.

"Then Shi Junwei buried it in his flesh and blood, wouldn't it have a better effect?" Jiang Ming guessed that she became the number one genius in Dayun Mansion probably because of this thing.

However, Jiang Ming has no intention of trying it. Why would he use this thing if he already has the art of seizing the element?

Moreover, this yellow crystal is so mysterious, its real function must not be limited to this...

"Could it be that these yellow crystals are the treasures of the Shi family?" Jiang Ming's heart moved slightly. Other things from the Shi family could not possibly make a giant like the Liang family so tempted.

The only reason must be these yellow crystals...

"If these rumors are true and the Shi family found these yellow crystals in the mountains, then maybe they are related to the secret of Yunmeng Shanze..."

"Research slowly, and one day I will be able to find a use for it, and maybe I will find a path to immortality..." Jiang Ming said to himself, not panicking at all.

If the Liang family supports the Shi family here, it is just for the treasure of Yunmeng Shanze... They will definitely make follow-up actions. There is no need to worry, just watch them perform...

"But no matter what, the world can finally be peaceful for a while..." Jiang Ming smiled as he listened to the chatter and laughter in the tavern, drank the wine in the bowl, and walked out of the tavern.

Jiang Ming bought an ax in the town and walked to Yunmeng Mountain with it.

The old wooden house has gone through several turmoils and was damaged by some blind guy in a fight. Jiang Ming plans to build a new one and continue to drink tea and enjoy the scenery in the mountains, practicing and picking herbs...

"In addition to the training plan, my 'beast control plan' must also be put on the agenda!"

Jiang Ming was thinking as he walked, planning to wait for the wooden house to be built before going down the mountain to buy medicinal materials and bleed blood to refine the medicine...

In the past, he was too lazy to bleed blood every day to refine medicine, and it would be enough to create Fourth Master Bai, but now he had to expand his beast organization.

Since there is indeed something mysterious about Yunmeng Mountain, Jiang Ming naturally wants to explore it... But it is naturally impossible to go deep into the mountains himself. He can only send some mountain animals to explore the way.

"For the sake of the overall situation, I can only ask you to sacrifice..." Jiang Ming said to himself, with no pity or guilt in his eyes.

While eating snake stew and roasting pheasants, no one felt sorry for these innocent animals.

Being used by others is their greatest value...

In the mountain forest, the young man walked alone, stepping on the new grass, passing by the old trees, walking through the majestic mountains, and disappearing into the misty clouds in the depths...

Ahem...it's not evening yet, even if it's noon, it's earlier than yesterday...please vote~~
