129 The Path of Immortal Cultivation (1)
In the dark night, the Liang family manor was razed to the ground, and people could vaguely hear the screams and cries of the Liang family.
Countless people were woken up and looked at the manor that was engulfed in fire in shock.
“How did this happen?”
“Didn’t the Liang family’s head just return? Who would dare attack them?”
“Is the Liang family going to be destroyed tonight?” someone asked in a trembling voice. His face was extremely pale. If the Liang family was destroyed, would the Qingxuan Army still be able to survive?
Some commoners ran to the Liang family courtyard with tears streaming down their faces.
An ox-cart slowly passed by the burning manor. The coachman driving the cart seemed to not pay attention to anything, and slowly waved the whip.
Behind the ox-cart, in a pile of junk, was an old man. He smiled and looked to the side. His clothes were tattered, and his hair was unkempt. He looked at the chaos and shook his head.
The ox-cart slowly moved away.
After a while, the ox-cart passed by the Xu family manor. After a short stop, the cart had more goods on it, and then set off again.
At the city gate, there were corpses of the Qingxuan Army soldiers with smiles on their faces. The ox-cart gradually drove away in the dark night.

The next day, the ox-cart was shaking on the bumpy dirt road.
Jiang Ming was holding a book in his hand and reading it thoughtfully.
“The history of the Liang family?”
He had found many things in the secret warehouse last night. This book was hidden very well, but it did not escape his eyes.
He flipped to the first page and was shocked.
“In the 300th year of the Qinguo dynasty, the world was in chaos. I, Liang Jiu, have been ordered by the immortal master of the Fire Lotus Valley to establish the Liang family and have obtained the immortal master’s magic artifact to protect myself. The descendants of the Liang family must protect the magic artifact and cannot lose it. To the future generations, this is what I have to say—pay attention to the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest, fire cloud grass, and the King of Medicine.”
After reading for a while, Jiang Ming did not turn the page, but closed his eyes and pondered.
The Qinguo dynasty was the dynasty before the previous one and had ruled for almost four hundred years.
The Liang family had existed since then, and there were traces of immortal cultivators behind the Liang family. This was unexpected.
Even the immortal cultivators were paying attention to the King of Medicine in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. They had even supported a Grandmaster family to compete for the King of Medicine on their behalf.
“It seems that the King of Medicine, which is even more precious than the fire cloud grass, is also very valuable, even for immortal cultivators. However, according to the Liang family’s history, the immortal master of the Fire Lotus Valley left very quickly. He seems to be avoiding something!”
Jiang Ming was deep in thought. Could it be because of the laws of this world, even if the immortal cultivators did not use their power, they would still be injured?
He opened his eyes and continued to read. They were all about the inheritance of the head of the Liang family, the deeds of the Grandmasters, and other major events. There were also a few records of the Liang family fighting for the King of Medicine in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest.
Since the establishment of the Liang family, the King of Medicine had appeared three times in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. Each time, the Grandmaster of the Liang family used the green wooden seal and fought for it with great force. He sent people to deliver it to the red pine snowfield in exchange for precious medicine, cultivation techniques, and other things that could help the martial artists cultivate.
Whether it was the Wave-Swallowing Saber Technique of the Liang family or the Vitality-Snatching Technique that had been given to the Shi family, they were all techniques given to him by cultivators after the fight for the King of Medicine.
“It seems that although the incident regarding the King of Medicine incident has quietened, it’s still dangerous.” Jiang Ming rejoiced that he did not join in the fun that year.
However, after this incident, he was even more certain that the border between this world and the world of immortal cultivators was most likely in the red pine snowfield.
“However, I’ll have to carefully plan how to go there.”
Jiang Ming was not in a hurry. If he rashly rushed over and was taken away by the immortal cultivators, he would not fare well.
He continued to read and soon saw a piece of news that the Liang family had suddenly received forty to fifty years ago.
“Above the King of Medicine is immortal fate. If you hide in the depths of the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest and hold the Yellow Jade Pearl, you can enter.”
Hundreds of years ago, although that immortal cultivator supported the Liang family, he had never given the Liang family the immortal cultivation method.
Therefore, after learning that the immortal encounter existed in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest, the Liang family had been frantically searching for the Yellow Jade Pearl. The Shi family had also been mobilized to search the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest.
In the end, the Shi family was the first to find a broken Yellow Jade Pearl. However, they kept it a secret from the Liang family and studied it. In the end, they discovered that it could help a martial artist cultivate and placed it in Shi Junwei’s body.
“It seems that not only did the Liang family receive the news, but the other five Grandmaster families and even many major forces outside of the country of Yan received the news of the immortal encounter by chance.”
