As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

214 The Secret of Martial Arts (1)

“The leader seems to be a second-class martial artist. The rest are mostly unranked martial artists.”

Jiang Ming stared at the group of martial artists passing by on the street and saw that their blood Qi was not very strong. Moreover, looking at the circulation of their blood Qi, it seemed to be rough and disorderly. It did not seem like they had practiced any complete cultivation technique. In fact, they seemed to have come from an unorthodox background.

However, these people walked with a confident gait, their gazes sharp, and their bodies covered in all kinds of scars. They were obviously experienced martial artists.

In terms of physical prowess, a second-class martial artist was comparable to some cultivators in the early stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. Moreover, this just seemed to be a small team of hunters. There could very well be stronger people in the city.

This city was nothing special. Jiang Ming’s map did not have any indicators of anything special close by. Thus, it was strange to see a group of martial artists appear.

Jiang Ming could not help but be interested. He wanted to know more.

“Where did these men come from? They look so brave and fierce.” Jiang Ming’s eyes moved as he pointed at the martial artists passing by with their prey and asked the breakfast stall owner.

“You’re from another city, right?” The stall owner was an old man. However, he still looked fit and strong. When he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, “These are all martial artists from Clearwater City’s Black Horse Gang. They’re strong people who have cultivated blood Qi.”

The stall owner gave an introduction to the place to Jiang Ming so that he could have an understanding of the small town.

Clearwater City was a city of mortals, and it had thin spiritual energy. Except for a small number of people who were lucky enough to embark on the path of immortal cultivation, most of the people in Clearwater City practiced martial arts in order to survive.

In addition, young men and women with good aptitudes for martial arts would also be selected by some immortal cultivation sects to become their disciples.

However, such opportunities were few and far between.

According to the stall owner, the strongest martial artist in Clearwater City was a first-class martial artist.

Jiang Ming was shocked. The way they talked about martial arts here was the same as in the mortal world.

“Is it a coincidence? Or is there some sort of a connection?” Jiang Ming thought of the mortal world and could not help but wonder where martial arts originated.

Did it originate from the world of immortal cultivation? Or did it originate from the mortal world?

However, even this old man, who had lived in Clearwater City for his entire life, did not know when the martial artists of Clearwater City first appeared.

It was almost noon, and there were not many people in the stall. The stall owner was not very busy. When he saw that Jiang Ming wanted to learn more, he suddenly became more enthusiastic. After a while, he even began talking about a few myths and legends.

“About a hundred years ago, Clearwater City’s mayor was a dual cultivator. He entered the Li Sword Sect and became a big shot! Also, according to the legends, this place was a holy land where martial arts flourished thousands of years ago. There was even a martial saint who was more powerful than those immortal cultivation experts who could fly into the sky.”

“A martial saint?” Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of such a term in the mortal world.

Jiang Ming had only heard of saints in the world of immortal cultivation in ancient books. They were powerhouses who stood at the peak of the path of immortal cultivation. It was hard to say if there were still such people in the world of immortal cultivation today.

He assumed martial saints would be similar people in the path of martial arts.

“Interesting!” Jiang Ming muttered. This place seemed a little mysterious.

It seemed that the world of immortal cultivation did have a history of martial arts. However, it had declined.

It seemed like martial arts were brought to the mortal world from this world before the path of immortal cultivation was cut restricted in the former.

A ridiculous idea flashed in his mind. What if it was the other way around? That meant the mortal world held some frighteningly deep secrets.

Moreover, there seemed to be opportunities related to martial arts in the Black Rock Ruins. In addition, there were rare martial artists in the world of immortal cultivation in this small city less than a thousand miles away from the Black Rock Ruins.

Was there any connection between the two?

Jiang Ming’s thoughts were racing. Before this, he just wanted to use this place as a temporary stop.

However, now, he was not in a hurry to leave. Anyway, there were still a few years before the opening of the Black Rock Ruins. It was not a bad idea to polish his cultivation and research these martial arts legends here.

“Do you know if there’s an inn nearby that we can stay in?” Jiang Ming asked as he put down a few pieces of silver after he had finished his meal.

At this time, Jiang Ming was the only customer left in the stall. The stall owner was also packing up his things quickly and was ready to close the stall. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled. “If you don’t mind, you can stay at my house. The place is spacious, the price is definitely cheaper than those inns, and it’s also a little quieter. You don’t have to worry about your meals. Although the food is not exotic, it’s filling and nutritious.”

“Oh?” Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

This old man knew a lot about Clearwater City, and Jiang Ming could get more information from him.
