As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

Chapter 179 - 179 Forbidden Immortal Cultivation Technique (2)

179 Forbidden Immortal Cultivation Technique (2)

Jiang Ming was disappointed. They were all beginner-level spells.

He could practice them when he had time. However, they were not of much use.

Jiang Ming suddenly stopped on a Jade slip.

He had finally found something good.

!!

“The Fire Metal Sword Technique mobilizes the spiritual energy of both metal and fire attributes at the same time, erupting powerfully. It is almost invincible among beginner spells. However, this technique has a huge flaw. Because it combines the two most violent spiritual energies of the five elements, it is easy to damage the spiritual core during the practice process. The stronger the cultivation, the greater the damage.”

This technique could be of use to Jiang Ming. After all, he would not be affected by its drawback,

“However, this technique also consumes a lot of spiritual energy. I can’t use it several times in a row.”

In any case, Jiang Ming finally had a truly powerful technique.

If he used this technique properly, he could even take on a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Jiang Ming put away the Jade Slip. He did not find any other spells that he was interested in. This was to be expected. They were just a group of ordinary individual cultivators.

A moment later, after packing everything, Jiang Ming dug a hole under the tree and buried the storage rings.

After that, Jiang Ming’s life returned to normal.

A few days later, Feng He finally found him an alchemy technique.

Alchemy techniques were not like ordinary techniques. They had to be passed down from a master alchemist. Most of them were recorded in Jade Slips. They were basically an inheritance of sorts.

“I took advantage of the chaos of the trade fair and got it from the black market. It seems to be the inheritance of an individual alchemist who suddenly died in Xiaoqian Mountain decades ago. It’s only a basic inheritance. However, it’s enough for you to learn!”

Feng He handed him a Jade slip and said, “However, I don’t know how many copies have been made by the seller. Some of the pills recorded in it have already reappeared in Xiaoqian Mountain. You don’t have to be too cautious.”

“Thank you so much!”

Jiang Ming quickly thanked him. Although Feng He was casual about it, he knew that if Feng He did not have a high status, he would not be able to come into contact with such things.

“Is this alchemy inheritance worth less than three hundred spirit stones?” he asked.

Feng He nodded and was about to state the price. However, Jiang Ming had already presented him with a storage ring. “Mr. Feng, here are three hundred and fifty spirit stones here. It’s not easy for you to help me. Therefore, I am very grateful.”

Feng He could not help but laugh. “I haven’t stated the price yet. Aren’t you afraid of losing out?”

“As long as I can learn alchemy, I won’t suffer a loss!”

Although they had a good relationship, Jiang Ming would not take advantage of Feng He.

Feng He shook his head helplessly. “I advise you to know when to stop. When you see that the situation is not good, stop at once. Alchemy is a bottomless pit. I don’t know how many people have plunged into it. They keep burning through ingredients to perfect their recipes.”

Jiang Ming had already thought of an excuse. He said helplessly, “I only know the Misty Rain Technique. Thus, I need to learn more skills!”

“Alright, when you learn alchemy, tell us!”

Feng He smiled and chatted for a while more before taking the storage ring and leaving.

After sending Feng He away, Jiang Ming could not wait to take out the alchemy inheritance Jade Slip and put it on his forehead to check.

After half an hour, Jiang Ming put it down, and his eyes flashed with amazement.

“As expected, alchemy is complex. Every step requires sufficient experience to be able to successfully move on to the next!”

However, this was not a problem for Jiang Ming. He had all the time in the world to master alchemy.

“I gave Feng He almost all my savings from the past three years. However, it’s not a loss. Not only does this inheritance have detailed pill refining methods, but there are also six to seven common pill recipes such as the Qi-Returning Pill and the Golden Blood Pill. The most precious thing is a detailed explanation of a primary alchemist.”

* * *

The next day, Jiang Ming went to the round valley market to buy some low-level spirit herbs and was ready to try to refine the first pill, the Qi-Returning Pill.

This was also one of the most common pills in the world of immortal cultivation. It only had one function, and that was to recover the spiritual energy of immortal cultivators. Regardless of one’s realm, t was an essential item for traveling in the world of immortal cultivation.

“Although this alchemy inheritance only records the lowest grade of the Qi-Returning Pill, if I successfully refine them, I can make a mint,” Jiang Ming thought to himself and returned to the small green peak.

“Hmm? Is my neighbor back?”

Jiang Ming caught a glimpse of a courtyard in the distance. Someone was moving furniture inside.

The courtyard was the residence of the gray-haired neighbor who came to find Jiang Ming back then. It seemed that the person had indeed died.

Jiang Ming walked into the courtyard expressionlessly. He had become rather indifferent to death.

* * *

The next day, Jiang Ming tried to refine the Qi-Returning Pill again.

The cauldron shook, and black smoke rose in spirals, emitting a burnt smell.

Jiang Ming’s face was gloomy. This was the third batch.

Even though Jiang Ming was mentally prepared, he still felt a little distressed about how fast he was essentially burning through money.

The sound of the courtyard’s spiritual array being activated suddenly rang. Jiang Ming frowned and walked out of the courtyard. He saw a young man with a sunny and gentle appearance. He was only at the second level of the Qi Refinement Realm and was standing outside the courtyard.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Ming was in a bad mood.

“S-Sir, I’m new here. My name is Xu Ren.” The young man stuttered as he introduced himself. In the end, he awkwardly handed a lunch box to Jiang Ming.

“I used to be a chef. This is my own cooking. I used ordinary ingredients that are not worth much. Please don’t mind them.”

Jiang Ming looked at the young man in front of him and smiled. “Many thanks!”

The kid clearly did not have much to his name. However, he was offering all he had. Jiang Ming was touched.

In the next few days, Jiang Ming saw Xu Ren from time to time. He gave food to his neighbors as a meeting gift. This made everyone have a good impression of him.

Jiang Ming shook his head and went back to his courtyard to study alchemy.
