Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 16 Receiving the Inheritance
The next day, in a quiet alley somewhere in Heishan County.

Ji Chang walked in the alley and stopped in front of the door of a house.

This house gives people a feeling that it has been uninhabited for a long time, and the iron lock on the door is already rusty.

But Ji Chang's gaze did not rest on the lock, but was recalling something.

The next moment, he turned his head slightly and looked at the fifth brick beside the door.

He stretched out his fingers and used the Eagle Claw technique to carefully pull out the brick.

A copper-green key was hidden in the hole behind the brick.

Ji Chang picked up the key, took a look at it, then walked to the door of the house, turned it lightly, and the lock opened.

He pushed open the door and walked slowly into the courtyard, which was quiet.

Ji Chang carefully observed the layout of the courtyard and then walked into the study.

The furnishings in the study were simple yet elegant. Ji Chang walked to the bookshelf.

Following the method that Man Tianhe had used before, he gently twisted several ornaments in the study.

Then, accompanied by an audible sound, a secret door on the floor in the corner of the study opened, revealing a dark passage.

Ji Chang jumped in without hesitation.

The passage was not very deep, only less than two meters deep.

Ji Chang took out a fire starter from his bosom and skillfully lit a candle on his left hand. The faint flame illuminated the surroundings.

With the help of candlelight, Ji Chang looked around the entire cellar.

In a corner of the cellar, there were rows of heavy gold bars neatly arranged, and the silver bills next to them were piled up like a small mountain.

Various dazzling jewelry and jades are scattered among them, each of which is a rare treasure.

In addition to these treasures, in another corner of the cellar, there are many bottles and jars, as well as some medicinal materials of different years.

It was exactly the same as what he saw in his mind when he peeked at Wantianhe before.

Ji Chang walked slowly towards the pile of gold bars, and his heartbeat seemed to quicken.

He casually took out a gold bar and placed it in front of him to look at it.

"It's real gold."

Ji Chang's face was full of joy, and his voice revealed a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.

Not to mention the mountains of silver bills and various jewelry and jades next to it.

Just these gold bars alone are more than Ji Chang could earn in eight lifetimes even if he went hunting in the mountains.

And now, all of this belongs to Ji Chang.

How could Ji Chang not be happy about this?
Afterwards, Ji Chang walked to the bottles and jars on the other side and looked at them.

There are a lot of pills and medicinal powders in these bottles and jars.

However, Ji Chang did not have enough knowledge in this area and was unable to identify the uses of these pills and powders.

However, Ji Chang found quite a few medicinal herbs among the other herbs that could be used to make the Five Element Bone Strengthening Soup.

Moreover, there are several medicinal herbs that you can tell at a glance are of old age.

I believe it will be of great help in improving martial arts skills.

Ji Chang grabbed a handful of silver bills and put them in his arms, preparing to leave the house first and buy a yard in Heishan County as his place to settle down.

Then he slowly moved the things in this house to the yard where he lived.

The reason why he did not use the yard left by Wantian He as his own place to stay.

The main reason was that Ji Chang was worried that there was a connection between this courtyard and Wantianhe, and what if the Liang family and the Black Mountain Gang discovered the connection.

Wouldn't I be the one getting burned too?
Just when Ji Chang was about to leave the cellar.

Suddenly, Ji Chang's gaze swept across a corner in the cellar.

"Eh?"

Ji Chang's expression changed slightly. He quickly walked to the corner and picked up a wooden box.

When the wooden box was opened, three books that looked almost identical were placed inside the box.

"This is?"

"Unique martial arts skills?"

There was a gleam of surprise in Ji Chang's eyes.

"Snake Point-Acupuncture"

"Flying Crane Soaring into the Clouds"

Records of Hundred Flowers and Medicinal Materials

"Could this be the martial arts inheritance of Wantian He?"

Ji Chang was guessing secretly in his heart.

He flipped through the books one by one, reading each page with complete concentration.

After a moment, Ji Chang had quickly finished reading the three martial arts secret books.

Just as he guessed, these three martial arts secrets books were indeed the inheritance left by Wantian He.

But to be more precise, this is not just the inheritance of Wantan Crane.

The first two martial arts secret manuals, "Spirit Snake Acupuncture" and "Flying Crane Soaring to the Clouds", were actually the inheritance of Sikong Xiaofeng, the famous thief saint in Zheng State.

The remaining book, "Record of Hundred Flowers and Medicinal Materials", is the unique inheritance compiled by Wantian He himself.

As the name of the art suggests, the moves of "Spiritual Snake Acupuncture Point Pressing" are as agile as a snake, and hard to predict whether they are real or fake.

Every move and every style is like a spirit snake, strange and swift, making it impossible to guard against.

"Flying Crane Soaring into the Clouds" is famous for its elegance and lightness.

This footwork is as agile as a flying crane, with smooth and light movements, and can give you a great advantage whether attacking or dodging.

The two martial arts secret books, "Spirit Snake Acupuncture" and "Flying Crane Soaring Step", are far superior to the "Eagle Claw" of the Black Mountain Martial Arts School. Both are extremely exquisite four-refined martial arts.

The highest level that can be cultivated is the fourth level of Grandmaster.

There are fewer than two dozen masters of the fourth level of refining, experts at the bone refining level, even in the entire Zheng State martial arts world.

The third martial artist has successfully trained his tendons and developed great strength.

The fourth martial artist has successfully refined his bones and developed a strong power.

The strength of a martial artist who practices martial arts is invisible and colorless, it is just a force.

The powerful energy of the four martial artists was condensed into a specific form, lasting forever and possessing unparalleled power.

If Wan Tianhe could break through to the fourth-level master realm, then even if he was besieged by the Li brothers and Mr. Liang Sanye, three third-level masters.

He would definitely be able to escape unscathed, or even kill the three of them on the spot.

However, fortunately, Wan Tianhe's cultivation had not reached the fourth level of refinement, otherwise Ji Chang would not have the courage to attack him.

As for the last "Hundred Flowers Medicinal Records".

To be precise, this is not a martial arts secret book, but a pharmaceutical inheritance compiled by Wantian He.

It records the methods of refining dozens of different elixirs and secret medicines.

There are not many secret medicines like the Five Elements Bone Tempering Soup that can improve martial arts skills, and most of them are only useful for first- and second-level martial artists.

Not only is there no record of any secret medicine that can improve the cultivation level of a fourth-level warrior, there is almost no record of any secret medicine that can improve the cultivation level of a third-level warrior.

Despite this, "Baihua Yaolu" is still a valuable pharmaceutical book.

It also records many elixirs for treating injuries and regulating the body.

Of course, as a flower thief, Wan Tianhe also recorded some medicines for special purposes in "Baihua Yaolu".
