Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Ji Zizhou, Xi Yun, and several other doctors in the town were all very curious about how Jiang Yuchuan would refine the elixir to cure the plague.

Therefore, when Jiang Yuchuan was about to make a move, these people took turns coming over to watch.

Jiang Yuchuan made no attempt to hide this fact, and after processing the medicinal herbs, he immediately began refining pills.

When Ji Zizhou and the others saw Jiang Liandan's tool, which was a completely black cauldron with four legs and covered with densely packed complex runes, they all showed expressions of shock and astonishment.

This cauldron is not large, only about two feet tall, but it gives people a very ancient, solemn and mysterious feeling.

Furthermore, no matter how they looked at it, Ji Zizhou and the others couldn't believe that the cauldron Jiang Yuchuan had taken out, which was comparable to an unearthed ancient artifact, could be used for alchemy.

Because in their understanding, the alchemy furnace used for refining pills doesn't look like this at all.

If it weren't for Jiang Yuchuan's identity and the fact that he cured Ji Zizhou of the plague, Xi Yun and the others would have thought that Jiang Yuchuan's actions were just a publicity stunt and a way to fool everyone.

The black cauldron that Jiang Yuchuan took out was forged from the black iron door that he had scavenged from under the magma during his seclusion.

Because of the special material of the iron door, Jiang Yuchuan was extremely cautious and careful during the process of refining the furnace, which took more than a month.

Hard work pays off.

As this furnace was finally completed, it transformed into a high-level, evolving magical artifact.

This means that as long as Jiang Yuchuan obtains any extraordinary materials in the future, he can integrate them into this furnace, allowing its grade to be further improved.

This furnace is not only a high-level magic weapon, but also has hundreds of runes engraved on it by Jiang Yuchuan. Its function is not limited to alchemy and medicine making, but it is also a special combat magic weapon that combines offense and defense.

Even considering only offensive capabilities, this furnace is far more powerful than the jade hairpin on Jiang Yuchuan's head.

However, due to factors such as material, size, and shape, although the Black Cauldron's attack power is much stronger than that of the Jade Hairpin, it cannot compare with the Jade Hairpin in terms of speed and agility.

However, the Black Cauldron is the most powerful and multifunctional magic weapon that Jiang Yuchuan currently possesses.

Using a high-level magical artifact to prepare pills for mortals is nothing short of overkill and a mere trial of a great achievement.

Because the pills he was refining were for mortals, Jiang Yuchuan didn't need to activate the array patterns on the furnace during the refining process, nor did he need to use any spiritual power. He could simply use ordinary methods to refine them.

This is also the main reason why Jiang Yuchuan makes no attempt to hide it and allows others to watch freely.

Although it was the most common technique, Jiang Yuchuan's control over the dosage of medicinal materials and his exquisite control over the heat still greatly impressed Xi Yun and the others who were watching.

These people hadn't personally refined elixirs for several years, but they had watched other experienced doctors do it.

Jiang Yuchuan's handling of medicinal herbs and his alchemy skills far surpassed those of these experienced physicians. Furthermore, they observed that Jiang Yuchuan's entire alchemy process was seamless and methodical, with every step flowing smoothly and efficiently, providing an extremely enjoyable visual experience.

To the point that, in the end, they all began to suspect that Jiang Yuchuan might be a reincarnated ghost. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Jiang Yuchuan would possess such high attainments in medicine at such a young age.

Of course, although these people had some doubts, they didn't dare to actually ask them.

Soon, the pills that Jiang Yuchuan had refined were distributed by the other doctors to the villagers in the town who were infected with the plague, as instructed.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Apart from those villagers with severe illnesses, most of the remaining villagers made a full recovery during the five days of treatment.

Although these villagers are still very weak after recovering from a serious illness, they can already walk freely.

As soon as they recovered, the villagers, organized and led by the village chief, came to Jiang Yuchuan and the others' residence. Ignoring all attempts to dissuade them, they knelt down and, with tears in their eyes, sincerely expressed their gratitude to Jiang Yuchuan and the others.

If it weren't for the selfless dedication of Jiang Yuchuan and others, their Xichuan Town would probably have long since become a dead town ravaged by the plague, with no one able to survive.

The grace of being saved is like being given a second life.

Although Jiang Yuchuan and his companions appeared to be much younger than most of the villagers, in the face of such immense gratitude, seniority and such distinctions could be completely disregarded.

Aside from kneeling and kowtowing, these simple and honest villagers couldn't think of a better way to express their sincerity and gratitude.

Faced with hundreds of people, ranging from the elderly to young children, kneeling and thanking them, even Ji Zizhou and Xi Yun, who had seen many grand occasions, still showed unnatural expressions, not to mention the other young physicians from the martial arts world.

Among the group, the only one who could remain calm and composed while receiving the kneeling thanks of the many villagers was Jiang Yuchuan, who appeared to be the youngest and stood in the middle of the group.

For Jiang Yuchuan, the kneeling of these hundreds of people was nothing more than a small scene.

In terms of age and experience, Jiang Yuchuan, who has lived two lives, is more than an ancestor of anyone present. Therefore, he did not feel uncomfortable at all when the villagers knelt down to worship him.

However, to Jiang Yuchuan's surprise, just as these villagers were sincerely kneeling and thanking him, he suddenly felt a golden pillar of light descend from the sky and flow directly into his body.

"This is—the power of merit!"

Jiang Yuchuan's heart was stirred.

He never expected that Heaven would bestow merit and golden light upon him, an outsider, at this moment.

Looking at the other people standing next to me, none of them had experienced anything similar.

This golden light of merit was a unique gift bestowed upon him by Heaven, so no one else could perceive it.

The power of merit is different from the power of faith.

Cultivators absorb the power of faith for cultivation, which has both advantages and disadvantages, and requires unique cultivation methods. However, the power of merit is different; it is almost without any restrictions. No matter what kind of cultivation method one practices, one can turn it into one's own, and there will be no hidden dangers or side effects.

Most importantly, besides enhancing a cultivator's cultivation level, this power of merit also offers many other benefits.

When one accumulates enough merit, in addition to receiving the favor of Heaven, the process of overcoming tribulations will be much easier.

While the power of merit has countless benefits, it is extremely rare in the cultivation world. Only cultivators who are genuinely virtuous and have never committed evil can obtain it. As for those cultivators with ulterior motives who want to accumulate merit, no matter how many good deeds they do, Heaven will not even glance at them.

This is the main reason why Jiang Yuchuan was so surprised when he felt that the Heavenly Dao of this world had bestowed golden light of merit upon him alone.

After all, his purpose in coming to Xichuan Town was not simple; he did not come solely to save the townspeople.

Even so, Heaven still bestowed golden light of merit upon him, which made Jiang Yuchuan ponder deeply.

The fact that Heaven did this means that it already knew his identity as an outsider, or that it had already discovered him the moment he arrived.

Recalling the rumors about the shackles of heaven and earth that he had heard from Master Wuzang, Jiang Yuchuan suddenly had a new guess.

The reason why the Heavenly Dao of this world remained indifferent after discovering him as an outsider, and even took the initiative to befriend him now, is very likely because it hopes that he can do something in this world to help it.

And this matter is very likely the secret that Jiang Yuchuan is currently searching for regarding how to break through the shackles of this world!

The more Jiang Yuchuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

It can be said that the appearance of the power of merit was an unexpected joy for Jiang Yuchuan, but it also completely disrupted his plans.

As a large amount of golden light of merit poured in, Jiang Yuchuan could clearly feel that his cultivation was increasing at a rapid pace, and had already reached the critical point, only half a step away from breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

Now that the plague in Xichuan Town has been resolved, there is no need for Jiang Yuchuan to stay any longer.

During his stay in the town, he had thoroughly inspected the surrounding area, inside and out, and was certain that there was nothing unusual hidden in Xichuan Town, and that the plague outbreak in the town was entirely caused by nature.

Having figured this out, Jiang Yuchuan could naturally leave with peace of mind.

Ji Zizhou, Xi Yun, and the others were very puzzled by Jiang Yuchuan's sudden decision to leave.

Although the plague in the town has been eradicated, outsiders are unaware of this, so Xichuan Town remains under lockdown. Leaving the town simply like that is virtually impossible.

Jiang Yuchuan was naturally aware of these things, but they were not difficult for him at all.

However, Jiang Yuchuan didn't say much about it and flew away from Xichuan Town that night.

The next morning.

When Ji Zizhou tried to wake Jiang Yuchuan, he found the room empty and Jiang had vanished.

His first reaction wasn't that Jiang Yuchuan had sneaked out, but that he had gotten up early and gone somewhere else.

After all, given the imperial court's blockade of Xichuan Town, even a grandmaster-level expert could not possibly escape silently.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan could no longer be found on Jizi Island. Only then did he realize that things seemed to be somewhat different from what he had imagined.

"Since we can't find Dr. Jiang anywhere we look, I think he must have already fled Xichuan Town."

Xi Yun, who was helping Ji Zizhou search for Jiang Yuchuan, guessed.

Although Ji Zizhou had the same guess, there were still many things he couldn't understand, so he asked with a puzzled look, "How could that be? Among those guarding outside, besides many top-notch experts, there are also grandmasters! Even if Brother Jiang is very powerful and has the most skillful methods, it would be difficult for him to slip out from under the nose of a grandmaster, right?"

"Who knows."

Xi Yun glanced at Ji Zizhou and said indifferently, "It seems you know too little about your Brother Jiang. In my opinion, he is likely to be much more mysterious and powerful than you say. I even suspect that he might actually be the disciple of the Great Qianqi Divine Physician, as you claim."
