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

A sudden north wind rises, and the grass and trees turn cold.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Tieshan had been studying under Jiang Yuchuan for several months.

It is worth mentioning that on the first day of formally learning medicine from Jiang Yuchuan, Qi Tieshan took it upon himself to change his name, replacing the simple "Tieshan" with the name of a medicinal herb, "Changqing".

Qi Changqing—that's his current name.

He liked it very much, and it also gained the approval of Jiang Yuchuan and Sun Ying.

Over the past few months, Qi Changqing has had a very fulfilling time every day.

Every day from dawn to dusk, during these five hours, in addition to studying medical books, he also had to learn from Jiang Yuchuan how to process different medicinal herbs and identify various acupoints on the human body. If patients came to his door during this time, he would stand aside and silently observe and learn.

Furthermore, as evening approached, he would set aside an hour to practice a martial art called "Eternal Spring Skill" under Jiang Yuchuan's guidance.

"Changchun Gong" is a simplified version of a cultivation technique of the same name adapted by Jiang Yuchuan. It does not require the absorption of spiritual energy and is considered a good internal energy cultivation method, which is very suitable for mortals to cultivate.

Jiang Yuchuan wanted Qi Changqing to cultivate internal energy for two reasons: first, he hoped that the child would have the ability to protect himself when he was not around; second, gathering herbs in the mountains was extremely physically demanding, and cultivating internal energy could greatly increase the speed of gathering herbs and make it safer in the deep mountains.

Although Qi Changqing was not his apprentice, he was very sensible and obedient, and also clever, which suited his taste. Therefore, he did not mind teaching him more things.

The current Qi Changqing is completely different from before! Not only has his temperament undergone a dramatic change, but his appearance and physique have also changed dramatically!

Her originally thin figure became much more well-proportioned and muscular, her skin became smoother and fairer, and she even grew almost a head taller.

Sun Ying had witnessed all of Qi Changqing's changes, and therefore felt even more grateful to Jiang Yuchuan.

To repay this kindness, Sun Ying would have Qi Changqing bring her carefully selected fruits and vegetables, or slaughtered and cleaned chickens, ducks and geese, every now and then.

Ever since Sun Ying started having Qi Changqing bring over ingredients from time to time, Jiang Yuchuan has hardly gone out to buy any vegetables.

One afternoon, a horse-drawn cart carrying goods slowly drove into Qingyang Town and stopped directly in front of Jiang Yuchuan's courtyard.

A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes stepped out of the carriage and gently knocked on the courtyard gate.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Jiang here?"

Jiang Yuchuan, who was explaining medical principles to Qi Changqing in his study, immediately stopped when he sensed someone visiting outside the door.

"You can keep track of what I just said. There's someone knocking on the door. I'll go check it out."

Qi Changqing nodded obediently.

As for why Jiang Yuchuan could hear the sounds outside while she herself could not hear anything, she did not have too many doubts.

Ever since he practiced the Everlasting Spring Skill and witnessed its power, he had long regarded Jiang Yuchuan as a martial arts master who lived in seclusion and was also proficient in medicine.

As for martial arts masters, they have already been described in countless stories and by storytellers. Therefore, even if Jiang Yuchuan displays some amazing skills, he takes it for granted and will not be surprised at all.

The middle-aged man standing outside the door had only knocked for a short while when he saw a handsome man with an ethereal air, dressed in a light blue robe, push open the door and walk out.

"May I ask if it was Mr. Jiang in person?"

The middle-aged man clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and asked a question.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded: "Indeed, it is I, Jiang. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Lu Feng," the middle-aged man introduced with a smile. "With the end of the year approaching, the young master specially prepared this small gift and asked me to deliver it to you, Mr. Jiang. Originally, the young master wanted to come in person, but he has been busy with matters at the manor recently and was unable to get away. In order not to delay the time, he sent me instead."

"Is the young master you're talking about Lu Jingchen?" Jiang Yuchuan asked.

Lu Feng smiled and nodded.

After receiving Jiang Yuchuan's permission, Lu Feng immediately instructed his servants to move the items from the carriage into the courtyard.

While the servants were moving things, Lu Feng took out an exquisite and luxurious invitation from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yuchuan.

"Next June is my family's patriarch's 90th birthday banquet. The young master and the head of the family specifically instructed me to personally deliver this invitation to Mr. Jiang. I wonder if Mr. Jiang will have the time to grace us with his presence?"

Jiang Yuchuan pondered for a moment, then accepted the invitation and said with a smile, "Since it is such a kind invitation, how could I refuse?"

"Excellent, excellent!" Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I will await your arrival at your residence!"

After everything was moved, Lu Feng immediately took his leave and departed.

After seeing Lu Feng off, Jiang Yuchuan looked at the neatly arranged gifts in the courtyard.

Among them were eight jars of fine wine, more than ten kinds of expensive delicacies from land and sea, plus several large boxes of beautifully packaged precious medicinal herbs.

Jiang Yuchuan put the wine and delicacies into the kitchen, and immediately opened the several large boxes of medicinal herbs.

These medicinal herbs are all over a hundred years old. It's a bit of a pity that they have all been carefully treated and cannot be replanted.

Even so, Jiang Yuchuan did not want to waste these rather precious and rare medicinal herbs, so he directly put them into the spirit pearl and soaked them in the spirit spring to nourish them.

Although dead medicinal herbs can no longer actively absorb spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the spiritual spring can slowly seep into them.

After all, it's already winter, and the weather is getting colder every day. He simply cannot go into the Daqingshan Mountains to collect herbs anytime soon.

However, he really didn't have time to gather herbs during this period, because he was preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

A month ago, he had already reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

However, Jiang Yuchuan was not in a hurry to break through immediately. After all, this was not the Heavenly Cauldron Continent, and even if the Spirit Pearl existed, he had to be fully prepared.

Within this month, he refined nearly a hundred Spirit Gathering Pills and Mystic Essence Pills alone.

Of these nearly one hundred pills, only less than twenty reached the highest grade.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is no ordinary feat, and he can only use top-grade elixirs with peace of mind.

After preparing the elixirs, Jiang Yuchuan drew many Qi-condensing talismans, intending to affix them around the courtyard when he broke through to the next level.

Although his plan was to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within the Spirit Pearl, the Spirit Pearl was currently somewhat incomplete, and it was uncertain whether it would allow him to break through within it. Therefore, he had to prepare for both possibilities.

If the Spirit Pearl doesn't allow it, he'll have to go to the outside world.

Although the outside world has little spiritual energy, it is not entirely devoid of it.

Even if the spiritual energy gathered by the Qi Condensation Talisman is not enough, he still has spiritual spring water to assist him!

With the combination of these two factors, plus the top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, Jiang Yuchuan believed it would be enough to support his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After the day's study session ended, Jiang Yuchuan called out to Qi Changqing, who was about to leave.

"New Year's Day is approaching. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come anymore. Just stay home and rest for a while."

Qi Changqing was not surprised to hear that Jiang Yuchuan was giving him a day off, after all, New Year's Day is the most important festival of the year.

"Sir, how long do I need to rest?"

To be honest, whether he rests or not doesn't make much difference to him. Deep down, he would rather stay here and continue studying than rest.

But this idea is selfish after all, and Qi Changqing would not actually say it out loud.

"About ten days," Jiang Yuchuan said after thinking for a moment. "It depends on when I come back."

"Is the gentleman embarking on a long journey?" Qi Changqing asked with some surprise.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded and said, "I do have some things to take care of. I will lock the gate when I leave. When you see the lock is gone, that means I'm back."

Qi Changqing nodded.

Although he was very curious about what Jiang Yuchuan was going to deal with, he didn't ask any questions.
