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

Sheng'an City.

In the spacious and exquisite courtyard, two men dressed in fine clothes were playing chess in a hexagonal pavilion.

The chessboard was now mostly occupied by black and white pieces.

One of the young men, whose face was slightly immature but still handsome, was Lu Jingchen, whom Jiang Yuchuan had rescued from the wolf king in Daqingshan a few months ago.

At this moment, Lu Jingchen was holding a white chess piece in his hand, frowning, his eyes fixed on the chessboard.

After a long pause, Lu Jingchen sighed deeply, as if relieved, and threw the white piece in his hand into the chess jar, giving up the struggle. He said with a helpless expression:

"I lost again... You know I'm not good at this, so why do you always drag me into it? You don't enjoy it, and neither do I. What's the point!"

Another handsome man with exquisite features smiled slyly, tidying up the chessboard as he replied, "Life is like a game of chess, full of calculations and countless variations, all contained within this small space. You'll be the head of the family soon, so improving your chess skills might not be a bad thing for you. It's one thing if you don't appreciate it, but why are you blaming me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen shook his head and said, "I think it's better to forget about improving my chess skills! I'd rather spend that time practicing martial arts!"

"Practicing martial arts?" The man smiled again. "With your talent, you might be able to reach the level of a grandmaster in time. But human strength has its limits. Managing a large family is not something that can be done by force alone."

Lu Jingchen fell silent and did not refute him further.

The man touched on the topic briefly and didn't delve deeper, instead smiling and saying, "Judging by the time, Steward Lu has been away for over a month now. He should be arriving in Qingyang Town soon, right?"

Upon hearing the name "Qingyang Town," Lu Jingchen's previously gloomy mood instantly lifted. "It should be in the next few days!"

Sheng'an City is a thousand miles away from Qingyang Town. Lu Feng set off more than a month ago. Even though carrying things would slow him down a bit, a month would be enough for him to arrive.

The man said with a regretful expression, "If it weren't for my status, I would really like to personally meet the omnipotent Mr. Jiang you mentioned."

“I advise you to take a break.” Lu Jingchen curled his lips and directly saw through the man’s intention. “Mr. Jiang is a master of the world. Although he lives in the mortal world now, he will not be drawn into the turbulent vortex for a little money and fame.”

The man remained noncommittal in response to Lu Jingchen's words, and stood up, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, I should go back too."

"You don't need to see me off. I can go out by myself. It's not like it's my first time here."

The man waved for Lu Jingchen to sit back down, then walked out of the courtyard. He hadn't gone far when he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and turned back to Lu Jingchen, saying, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell you that my second sister might send someone over for her birthday banquet in June."

"Why would Her Highness the Second Princess attend the Ancestor's birthday banquet?" Lu Jingchen asked in surprise. "Our Lu family has never had any dealings with Her Highness the Second Princess."

"Who knows?" The man shrugged, looking at Lu Jingchen with a mischievous grin. "Maybe it's her who has piqued your interest."

"..."

Seeing Lu Jingchen looking at him with resentment, the man smiled and stopped joking. "My second sister is very well-informed. She must have gotten some information and deduced that the mysterious expert who saved my life might be a member of your Lu family."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen's brows furrowed involuntarily.

The man continued, "Don't worry, I'm here! Besides, even if my second sister does know something, she might not tell anyone." As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "After all, an ambitious woman like her wouldn't be content to be just a princess!"

……

A bright, full moon hung in the dark sky. Under its overly bright light, the surrounding stars paled in comparison and became inconspicuous.

Compared to the vast and desolate scenery high in the sky, the ground under the night sky appears much more lively and bustling.

Orange-red halos illuminated the crisscrossing streets.

Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with bright red lanterns of all sizes hanging from almost every rooftop.

Even though it was late at night, many pedestrians could still be seen walking on the streets, and a joyful and festive atmosphere could be seen everywhere.

This is the last night of the year.

As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new, this evening embodies all of people's hopes and expectations for the coming year.

Unlike the bustling and prosperous scene outside, the courtyard where Jiang Yuchuan lived was locked and pitch black.

Not long ago, he had just finished setting up the Qi Condensation Talisman and placed four wooden buckets filled with spiritual spring water in front of his bed.

After preparing everything outside, Jiang Yuchuan entered the Spirit Pearl.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed near the medicinal herb field.

After several days of reflection, he has adjusted himself to his best condition.

After swallowing three top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills in a row, Jiang Yuchuan immediately began to activate the spiritual power within his body and circulate the "Azure Origin Creation Technique" to launch an attack on the Foundation Establishment stage!

The spiritual energy within the space quickly surged towards Jiang Yuchuan in a frenzy.

As the spiritual energy within his body accumulated, Jiang Yuchuan's aura gradually began to rise.

Since discovering that the "Azure Origin Creation Technique" has the wonderful effect of tempering and expanding the Qi Sea, Jiang Yuchuan has incorporated it into his daily cultivation.

His Qi Sea has now expanded to nearly three times its previous size!

Even compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators, he is in no way inferior!

Soon, the spiritual energy absorbed by Jiang Yuchuan's Qi Sea reached its critical point, and he could no longer withstand any more.

Just then, Jiang Yuchuan took out two of the top-grade Mystic Essence Pills that he had prepared beforehand and swallowed them.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a warm current that rushed rapidly toward his dantian.

The moment the warm current formed by the elixir merged with his Qi Sea, Jiang Yuchuan immediately felt himself being repelled by the space within the Spirit Pearl. Then, he disappeared from his spot and reappeared on his bed outside.

Fortunately, he had anticipated and prepared for this unexpected turn of events, so he was not flustered. He maintained his meditation posture and focused all his attention on his dantian.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan's Qi Sea was undergoing a very strange change after merging with the Miaoyuan Pill. It was expanding rapidly while constantly showing specks of green light.

These small, bluish-green specks of light were not affected by the expansion of the Qi Sea and were slowly beginning to converge.

During this process, Jiang Yuchuan swallowed five top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills and two top-grade Mystic Essence Pills in succession, which prevented the expansion of his Qi Sea and the condensation of the cyan-green light spots from slowing down.

Finally, after nearly two hours, the various changes in Jiang Yuchuan's Qi Sea completely stopped.

Jiang Yuchuan looked at the Qi Sea within his body, which had expanded nearly tenfold, and the tender sprout with two leaves formed from cyan-green light spots floating in the center of the Qi Sea. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The Azure Spirit has taken human form and completed its foundation building!

After several months, he finally managed to cultivate back to the Foundation Establishment stage!
