142 Planning to Hunt Immortals (1)
“Don’t the depths of the red pine snowfield belong to this world? Won’t he be suppressed? Man, these immortal cultivators sure are arrogant!” Jiang Ming chuckled. “Immortal cultivators are gods in terms of power. However, in this world, their power is suppressed!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes were cold. This was a world that belonged to martial artists, and martial artists were the masters here!
“Where is the jade pendant?”
“It’s in the secret vault along with the other treasures that we’ve accumulated over the past few decades,” Miss Wang replied respectfully.
Jiang Ming glanced at her with a smile and nodded. “You’ve worked hard all these years. Let’s go and take a look.”
Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm as he followed Miss Wang into the depths of the house.
Soon, they stepped into the vault. It was bursting at the seams with rare treasures from all over the world.
Miss Wang walked to a wall on the side, unlocked a secret compartment, took out a small wooden box, and handed it to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming opened the wooden box, and a long, white jade pendant was revealed.
The jade pendant was warm to the touch and had a nine-petaled lotus carved on it. There was a faint red light within it that was changing shape and flowing continuously.
Jiang Ming stared at the jade pendant and sensed the spiritual energy flowing in it. He was almost certain that the messenger most likely belonged to the Fire Lotus Valley force that had connections with the Liang family.
Jiang Ming wondered if they just wanted to find another worker to help them get the King of Medicine.
According to the Liang family’s records, the King of Medicine of the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest was of great value even to immortal cultivators. Otherwise, the immortal cultivators of the Fire Lotus Valley would not have to support the Liang family to find it for them every hundred years.
“There should be at least sixty to seventy years before the next appearance of the King of Medicine.”
Jiang Ming looked at the jade pendant.
If the immortal cultivators of Fire Lotus Valley wanted to continue taking the King of Medicine, they would definitely take action regardless of whether he showed up or not.
Maybe they were also contacting other martial arts Grandmasters at the same time as they were contacting him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming looked at Miss Wang. “From now on, pay close attention to the movements of the Grandmaster forces in the world. If there’s anyone who tries anything suspicious in Great Cloud City, make a note of them immediately.”
Miss Wang did not ask any more questions and nodded.
“That’s right. Keep an eye on Zhang Yuanhe’s men as well,” Jiang Ming added.
“Yes!” Miss Wang’s face was still calm.
Zhang Yuanhe was the founding emperor of the Cloud Empire—a man who would be recorded in history books for thousands of years. However, in the eyes of Jiang Ming and Miss Wang, he was nothing special.
“There will be another storm in a few decades,” Jiang Ming said softly, his face calm.
This time, he was going to participate in the storm. He was finally strong enough to face any enemy in this world.
“Now, let’s take a look at the things you’ve collected over the years.”
Jiang Ming took the lead and walked forward. Miss Wang’s eyes were filled with a trace of unease, and she quickly followed behind.
“Most of them are ordinary items.” Jiang Ming walked slowly, but his face was calm.
Now that his heightened perception was at its peak, if there was anything unusual about these items, it would definitely not escape his eyes.
Miss Wang looked at Jiang Ming, and she felt sad. Was there nothing that could help him?
Jiang Ming walked to a wooden shelf and stared at a light blue piece of jade. The surface was smooth. However, it still seemed to be emitting a faint glow in the dim light.
This piece of jade contained some spiritual energy.
“Is this the Jade Slip mentioned in the files about the immortal cultivators?”
In the world of immortal cultivation, Jade Slips were used to record information. As long as one’s soul entered it, one could browse the information.
Jiang Ming picked it up and continued to walk forward.
A moment later, he picked up a dark green dagger and flicked it with his fingers.
The sound reverberated in the vault. The rust on the dagger immediately fell off, revealing a sharp, cold glint.
“Is this a magic tool?” Jiang Ming sensed the spiritual energy rippling inside the dagger, and he was surprised.
Over the years, he had collected many items that were suspected to be magic tools, but all of them were either completely damaged or had lost their power. None of them were as intact as this dagger.
“Where did you get this?”
When Miss Wang saw Jiang Ming’s interest in the dagger, she quickly said, “Do you still remember the corpse of a suspected immortal cultivator around twenty years ago?”
Jiang Ming nodded.
“This dagger was found in a forest near the corpse. It was found by the villagers and sold as a scrap iron dagger. It was bought by the subordinates of the Nameless.”
“Could it be the remains of a battle between immortal cultivators?” Jiang Ming pondered for a moment. “Collect all the information related to this matter. I’ll come and get it in a few days.”
Before dealing with the immortal cultivators of the Fire Lotus Valley, he had to make some preparations. There was still a long time before the King of Medicine appeared, so he decided to do some research.
“As for the rest, you can handle it yourself.” Jiang Ming looked around the vault and smiled faintly. “Other than the mission I gave you today, it’s up to you how you want to manage the Nameless in the future. I won’t interfere anymore.”
Miss Wang was stunned for a moment, but she could only nod her head. She then gathered her courage and asked, “Master, are you going to the world of immortal cultivation?”
After so many years of development, Miss Wang knew that there was a mysterious and vast world above the world of martial artists.
However, that world was not something that ordinary people could come into contact with. It was said that only Grandmasters were qualified to walk on that path.
As the leader of the Nameless, Miss Wang knew better than anyone else that although the Nameless was a force whose name shook the world, their purpose was only to collect information on immortal cultivators for him.
Jiang Ming smiled. This was not a secret that needed to be hidden from Miss Wang. “We have been acquainted for so long. However, it is time for us to go on our separate ways!”
After a while, Jiang Ming left, leaving Miss Wang alone.

Jiang Ming walked on the streets of Great Cloud City, feeling a little emotional.
In the blink of an eye, it had been decades since the Shi family and the Wang family had been destroyed. Now that the new dynasty had been established, first-class martial artist families in the city were no longer a big deal. No one remembered those old families anymore.
Suddenly, a clamor came from the side of the street.
“Opening bonus! Buy one portion of pig’s ear mushroom and get one free! This offer is limited to the first three hundred customers only!”
Jiang Ming looked over with a strange expression. This offer sounded familiar.
When the Hundred Herb Hall in Peace County had just opened, Jiang Ming had used similar sales tactics.
Jiang Ming looked at the newly opened medicine shop. Several sales attendants were running around, and business was booming.
When Jiang Ming looked up, he was stunned when he saw the store’s signboard.
In the shop, a figure could be seen quickly walking back and forth, giving the sales attendants instructions.
