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

Although the old Taoist priest had concealed his aura, he could not escape Jiang Yuchuan's divine sense.

This was the first time Jiang Yuchuan had encountered such a powerful martial artist since he came to this world.

But to cultivate one's strength to the level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this old Taoist must be a legendary Grandmaster.

Such a master would actually appear in Qingyang Town and set up a fortune-telling stall, which was quite an eye-opener for Jiang Yuchuan.

Although Jiang Yuchuan was somewhat curious about the old Taoist priest, he had no intention of taking the initiative to strike up a conversation.

However, from this old Taoist priest, Jiang Yuchuan could roughly deduce that the strength of a grandmaster in this world roughly corresponds to the Foundation Establishment realm of a cultivator. And this only applies to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, and only without using any magical artifacts.

After all, a martial artist's main strength comes from himself, but a cultivator can rely on various magical treasures to increase his strength several times over.

If the two sides fight to the death, the one who survives will definitely be the cultivator. After all, cultivators have too many methods at their disposal, and they are impossible to guard against.

With this, Jiang Yuchuan had a better understanding of the situation.

Just as Jiang Yuchuan walked past the old Taoist priest, the priest suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing as he quickly scanned his surroundings. Then, with a puzzled expression, he muttered to himself:

"Strange... I clearly sensed a gaze watching me just now, but why haven't I noticed anything now... Could it be my imagination?"

That shouldn't be the case!

He wouldn't have made that kind of basic mistake more than a hundred years ago.

Someone must have been spying on him just now!

In this world, there are only three people who can escape his detection!

Of these three, one is stationed in the Great Qian Imperial Palace, a position of extraordinary status that makes it virtually impossible for him to step outside the palace gates; another entered seclusion in the Stone Buddha Cave several years ago, and it is unknown whether he has emerged from seclusion yet, making it highly unlikely that he would appear here; as for the last one, that is even more impossible! If he were to appear, the world would already be engulfed in bloodshed!

"Who could it be...?"

As the old Taoist priest pondered, his gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Jiang Yuchuan's retreating figure. His hand, stroking his beard, paused, and he murmured:

"Strange! This person clearly doesn't possess internal energy, and judging from his movements, he doesn't seem to know any martial arts, so why does he give me such a special feeling..."

Having traveled extensively for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Could it be this person?

--no!

I, an old Taoist priest, am determined to find out more about this person today!

Having made up his mind, the old Taoist priest hurriedly called out to Jiang Yuchuan's retreating figure:

"Young lay Buddhist carrying a bamboo basket, please wait!"

Jiang Yuchuan paused, then turned around without changing his expression: "May I ask what business this Daoist has with me?"

The old Taoist priest chuckled and cut to the chase: "I wonder if this young layman would be interested in having his fortune told?"

Jiang Yuchuan raised an eyebrow: "Ten taels of gold for a divination?"

“Not bad!” The old Taoist smiled and stroked his beard. Fearing that Jiang Yuchuan might refuse, he added, “Judging from your appearance, young layman, you are destined to meet me. Therefore, I can symbolically charge you only ten coins for this divination fee!”

"Ten coins isn't too expensive."

Jiang Yuchuan nodded and did not refuse.

The old Taoist priest led Jiang Yuchuan back to his stall and said with a smile, "Young layman, just write down three words." He then took out paper and pen and handed them over.

Paper and pen are ordinary items. After Jiang Yuchuan took them, he asked with a hint of doubt, "I see that other fortune tellers either calculate the Eight Characters or the Six Lines, but how come it's just a matter of writing a few words when it comes to you, Master?"

"Those people are nothing but charlatans who only know how to cheat and swindle. How can they compare to me, an old Taoist priest!" The old Taoist priest puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "I'm not bragging, but in the art of divination, throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, if I claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!"

Jiang Yuchuan smirked, said nothing more, and picked up a pen to write three large, flamboyant characters.

"Tian-Ding-Lai—Good calligraphy!"

The old Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed sincerely, "I never expected that the young layman would have such a high level of calligraphy skill at such a young age!" He then took the completed characters, examined them carefully, and began to calculate with his fingers.

Jiang Yuchuan could clearly sense that the old Taoist's aura underwent a subtle change when he was making calculations.

But in the next instant, the aura became chaotic, and the old Taoist stopped his divination. He looked at Jiang Yuchuan with a face full of surprise and doubt, and spoke again: "I wonder if young layman could hold these three words in his palm and let this old Taoist take another look!"

"no problem."

Jiang Yuchuan nodded and, following the old Taoist's instructions, folded the paper and held it in his hand.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest seemed to be serious. He immediately straightened his back, stretched out two fingers in front of his eyes, and uttered a low chant:

"open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, under Jiang Yuchuan's gaze, a thin layer of white mist instantly covered the old Taoist's eyes.

In that instant, Jiang Yuchuan clearly sensed that the white mist covering the old Taoist's eyes was formed by the fusion of his own internal energy and aura.

If he was not mistaken, the old Taoist priest was currently performing a pupil technique similar to observing qi.

This surprised Jiang Yuchuan.

The fact that a secret technique like the Eye Technique, which is extremely rare even in the cultivation world, has appeared in a martial artist from a low-spirit world is quite astonishing!

It seems that this old Taoist priest's identity is probably not simple.

Logically speaking, given his status as a cultivator and his current level of cultivation, it would be impossible for an ordinary martial artist to calculate anything about him.

But since this old Taoist priest was proficient in a seemingly mysterious and extraordinary eye technique, he began to have some expectations for this divination.

……

In fact, Xuanxi, the old Taoist priest who was telling Jiang Yuchuan's fortune, had not originally planned to use any secret techniques. After all, what he had told Jiang Yuchuan earlier was not boasting; his skill in divination was undoubtedly the best in the Great Qian Dynasty.

He was particularly skilled in character divination, and his predictions were always accurate.

But just now, when he was calculating the three characters '天', '鼎', and '来' written by Jiang Yuchuan, he couldn't figure it out at all, or rather, he figured it out, but was blocked by a thick fog!

This was the first time Xuanxi had ever encountered such a situation. Even when he was interpreting characters for the Great Qian Emperor, who possessed imperial aura, he had never encountered such a situation. How could he not be shocked!

Could it be that this young-looking man in front of me is of a higher status than the current emperor?

People are sometimes like that; they are always full of desire to explore and curiosity about the unknown.

Therefore, after failing to divinate Jiang Yuchuan's character, Xuanxi immediately decided to use a secret method to try again!

The secret technique he used was called "The Art of Divination by Heaven," a very profound and magical divination method.

For over a thousand years, apart from the sect's founder, only he has been able to cultivate this secret technique to the highest level!

It is said that when one cultivates the "Art of Divination" to its highest level, one can even calculate the heavens!

He had read in the sect's ancient texts that before the sect's founder fell, a celestial thunderbolt had descended upon the sect, and this was very likely the consequence of the founder using this secret technique to glean heavenly secrets...

Having learned from this experience, he naturally dared not think he was too old to presume to predict the future.

But if it's an individual, there's no problem at all!

Xuanxi is making this clear today: even if this young man in front of him is a great immortal, he can still use this secret method to calculate the whole story!
