Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 1 Peeping Ability
Zheng State, Heishan County.

At night, Ji Chang slept on the earthen kang, closed his eyes and concentrated.

The next moment, a charming girl appeared in front of him. Her white body dazzled Ji Chang and he heard a series of delicate voices in his ears.

"Master Li, you are really amazing."

When Ji Chang opened his eyes again, he was back in this small and dilapidated house.

"It really is a golden finger."

Ji Chang's expression was slightly shocked.

He is a time traveler, who was originally a student on Earth. He traveled through time and space after dying suddenly after staying up late reading novels.

He traveled to this ancient world and became a hunter in Heishan County.

Like most of his peers, Ji Chang is also an orphan whose parents have both passed away.

His mother died of complications during childbirth, and his father was killed by a blind bear while hunting in the mountains last year.

If he hadn't been seventeen or eighteen years old, big and strong, and had learned archery, he would have been able to protect himself.

Not to mention what to do in the future, after his father dies, even he himself will be sold by others.

The wealthy families in Heishan County would send people out to purchase goods every year and hire servants and maids.

Many families who suffered disasters and could not make ends meet had no choice but to sign a contract to sell themselves in order to survive.

There are also many cases where the male members of the family are gone and the whole family is eaten up or sold off.

But Ji Chang is not to this extent.

Relying on his half-baked hunting skills, although he had to eat one meal a day, at least he would not starve to death.

If you are lucky, you can make a small profit.

Just yesterday, Ji Changgang went to the county and sold the rabbit meat he hunted to the collectors of the Black Mountain Gang.

When he was about to come back, he suddenly found that he had awakened a golden finger.

He discovered that he could plant marks on other people and then monitor them.

Specifically, as long as Ji Chang can see someone, he can plant a mark on that person.

Then, as long as he closed his eyes and concentrated, he could monitor the person he had marked.

That perspective was a bit like the third person perspective in a game. I was like a camera, following that person closely and staring at him.

Ji Chang tried it and found that this ability has a limit on the number of people who can use it.

Only one mark can exist at a time. Once the second mark is planted, the first mark will disappear.

If you want to plant it again, you have to find that person again.

Moreover, seeing other people through this voyeuristic perspective cannot leave any mark on them as if you saw them with your own eyes.

Apart from the number limit, there seems to be no other restrictions.

When leaving the county, Ji Chang tested the distance limit.

So, when he passed by Flower Street, he saw the girl lying by the window on the second floor and planted the mark there.

After leaving the county and returning home.

This attempt found that observation and spying were possible.

There should be no distance limit.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang closed his eyes again.

The next moment, the scene in front of his eyes changed again, and a very luxuriously decorated room appeared in front of Ji Chang again.

In the center of the room is a table, on which are placed all kinds of exquisite snacks and fine wines and dishes, exuding an enticing atmosphere.

Ji Chang took a look and his throat gurgled.

He hasn't eaten this kind of snacks and food since he traveled through time.

It’s usually a problem to get enough food, so where would I have the spare money to eat these things?

Ji Chang took his eyes off the food and looked in another direction of the picture.

Against the wall is a large bed, the sheets and pillowcases are made of silk, smooth, soft and colorful.

Two people were lying on the bed, fighting and entangled in a ball, one circling for a long time, and the other pulling for a long time.

Ji Chang felt so excited watching this that he wished he could replace the previous one.

However, this kind of brothel has nothing to do with him. With the little money he earned from hunting, let alone spending it in such a high-end brothel, even if it was a cheap brothel, he would have to spend half a year in pain if he went there.

With his ability to peek, he can only satisfy his visual sense, but he can't do any real fighting.

This made Ji Chang feel really unhappy.

However, Ji Chang also knew that it would be a waste to use his ability in such a place. Today he was just trying out the specific effects and testing the limits of his ability.

The real purpose is not to watch the fight.

If Ji Chang could discover some secrets through this ability, maybe he could turn things around.

For example, you can discover where a wealthy family in the county hides their silver and learn some secrets, or use this ability to secretly learn some skills or martial arts.

They are much more useful than watching the live broadcast here now.

You know, in this ancient world, if you wanted to learn a skill, even if you became a proper disciple and served for more than ten years, you might not necessarily be able to learn the true skills.

There are some skills that, unless it is to one's own son, even a daughter or adopted son will not pass on the skills. They would rather take them to the grave and let the skills be lost.

After all, teaching the apprentice will starve the master.

Even if he is a son, he will sometimes hold back, let alone an apprentice.

The reason why Ji Chang’s hunting skills are so mediocre is that his father died in an accident before he could finish teaching him.

However, even so, Ji Chang could barely make ends meet by relying on his skills and, more importantly, the map.

Although hunting skills are important, maps are more important. Although these simple maps are not accurate enough, they mark the conditions in the mountains, the location of prey, plant species, and some dangerous areas.

If you don't know this information, let alone going into the mountains to hunt, you might get lost and trapped to death in the mountains.

However, relying on his half-baked hunting skills, he would be a hunter for the rest of his life. It would be difficult for him to even find a wife. Who knows, one day he might die in the mountains like his father.

If you want to go further, let alone want to take a martial arts exam or something like that, even wanting to be a security guard for a wealthy family is basically wishful thinking.

You know, the only martial arts school in the county that teaches martial arts is the Black Mountain Martial Arts School, and the tuition fee for one month is several taels of silver.

One tael of silver was worth more than a thousand coins, while a pound of rice was less than ten coins.

This is far beyond what Ji Chang can afford.

In addition to tuition fees, there are also various secret medicines and medicated foods to assist in martial arts training.

These are not given away for free by the martial arts school, but require disciples to buy them with real money.

What's more, the martial arts taught to disciples by the Black Mountain Martial Arts School are just some basic skills.

If you want to learn that kind of real kung fu, how can someone be willing to teach you unless you have been a direct disciple and served him like a slave for many years?

But Ji Chang is different now.

After trying out his ability to spy, an idea came to Ji Chang's mind.

He could easily leave his mark on the disciples of the martial arts school and then learn martial arts secretly.

Ji Chang's stealing of martial arts was not done by using this ability to peek into the contents of martial arts and then stealing them.

Instead, he relied on this ability to peek and attended classes with the disciples of the martial arts school.

Because if you want to learn martial arts just by relying on a martial arts book, how can you possibly learn it if you are not a genius or have some special skills?
Even understanding the content of martial arts is difficult.

In order to protect their skills from being passed on to others, every household uses various code words and terminology even when the secret manuals are written on paper.

The same word has completely different meanings in different sects and martial arts schools.

What's more, some authentic secrets are passed down completely by word of mouth.

If you really have to rely on a secret book, you will never be able to achieve success even if you practice until you die.

As for the formula of secret medicine, or even more powerful methods, Ji Chang can also use this ability to spy on them.

Although the hidden dangers are considerable, it is still much better than the current situation.

At least there is hope.

And at this moment, less than a minute or two had passed, the two people on the bed stopped.

The pale-faced young man was lying on the bed, half dead and looking exhausted.

It turned out to be a useless silver-plated spear head.

Seeing that there was no fun anymore, Ji Chang was about to stop spying.

Suddenly I heard the conversation between the two people on the bed, and my whole body was slightly shocked.
