216 The Secret of Martial Arts (3)

“What’s this? The Withering Element Escape Technique?” Finally, Jiang Ming smiled brilliantly.

After rummaging through Luo Yanyue’s storage ring for a long time, he finally found what he had been looking for.

The previous battle was a fatal one for the Divine Eye Sect. However, for Jiang Ming, it was nothing. The only thing that interested him was the escape technique that Luo Yanyue had used when she was escaping.

It was so fast that Jiang Ming could hardly catch up with it. However, it seemed that Luo Yanyue had paid a great price for using it. It did not take long for her to turn into an old woman.

He had been looking for a forbidden escape technique for so long!

He could not wait to go through it.

The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.

“The Withering Element Escape Technique uses one’s spiritual energy and lifespan as the price to rush out at a speed that surpasses those of the same cultivation level. The more spiritual energy and lifespan one burns, the faster one can escape.”

Jiang Ming browsed through the cultivation technique several times until he had memorized it. Then, he was relieved.

The Meridian Breaker that he had used to escape previously was already of little value after he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts. Now, he had finally obtained another escape technique, which was simpler and more powerful. He was pleased.

Jiang Ming grinned. With this escape technique, his trip to the Black Rock Ruins would be even safer.

It was almost evening when Jiang Ming finished sorting everything out.

Jiang Ming roughly estimated that the harvest this time had exceeded ten thousand spirit stones. However, some things were not very easy to sell. Therefore, he had to hide them to sell them at a later date.

But even so, this unexpected fortune was enough to cover all of Jiang Ming’s needs in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, Jiang Ming walked out of the house and saw a delicate girl who had just entered the residence. She was wearing patched clothes that were covered in dust and grass, and her face was also dirty. She was secretly hiding a rusty iron sword in a side room.

“This must be Old Lu’s granddaughter, Lu Xiaoyu,” Jiang Ming thought.

Jiang Ming’s appearance suddenly scared the girl, and she almost threw the iron sword in her hand at him.

Jiang Ming was a little embarrassed and was about to explain why he was there. However, the girl quickly calmed down, bowed, and apologized, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! You must be my grandfather’s guest.”

Jiang Ming looked at the girl’s mature and sensible appearance and was dumbfounded. It seemed that he was not the first guest to stay here. Did Old Lu owe someone money? He seemed rather desperate to earn money.

However, the girl was also very friendly. After apologizing, she quickly hid the iron sword in the house and began to chat with Jiang Ming.

“Please don’t tell my grandfather that I came back with an iron sword,” Lu Xiaoyu said in a low voice after a short conversation.

“What iron sword?” Jiang Ming smiled faintly.

The two of them exchanged knowing smiles.

It was not until late at night that Lu Qingfeng dragged his tired body home. Lu Xiaoyu had already prepared dinner and asked Jiang Ming to eat with her.

“Yan Chixia, you can stay here for a few days.” After the meal, Old Lu’s eyes lit up as he held a few pieces of silver in his hand and laughed.

“Grandpa, this is so embarrassing!” Lu Xiaoyu’s face turned red, and she slapped the table.

Lu Qingfeng shook his head and said, “I didn’t steal, and I didn’t extort Yan Chixia. This is the normal nightly rate I charge all guests. I have a clear conscience. Therefore, what’s there to be embarrassed about? Don’t you agree, Yan Chixia?”

“It’s absolutely worth it!” Jiang Ming quickly laughed. Old Lu was quite interesting.

The next morning, Jiang Ming got up early and habitually practiced his fist techniques in the courtyard. Although he did not use his blood Qi, as a Foundation Establishment Realm martial artist, he had studied hundreds of martial arts techniques. Each move was polished and highly precise.

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, he was suddenly stunned and stopped what he was doing. He looked at the scene with a complicated expression.
