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

Radiant City.

Top floor of Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.

An elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a golden robe, stood with his hands behind his back, squinting through the open window at the purple lightning striking down from the sky in the distance.

Standing behind the old man was a tall, middle-aged man, Wan Jinquan, who had just presided over the auction.

"Does the Grand Elder know who is fighting?"

Wan Jinquan looked at the old man's back and asked respectfully.

In fact, after each auction, there is usually a period of chaos like this.

There are always people who want to kill, rob, and steal treasures, but few have caused such a commotion as today.

Despite the great distance, Wan Jinquan was still able to estimate the realm of the people fighting based on the residual energy emanating from them, which was definitely above the Mountain Shaking Realm.

The old man did not directly answer Wan Jinquan's question, but instead asked in a leisurely tone, "In this world, do you not know of any cultivation technique that can draw purple heavenly lightning to defend against enemies?"

"Using lightning to defend against enemies?"

Wan Jinquan was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "The Purple Cloud Thunder Control Technique!! The person who made the move is actually a powerful figure from the Purple Cloud Dao Palace?!"

The old man nodded and sighed, "The one who made the move was Ling Daochen, who had not yet broken through to the Golden Light Realm. But the person who fought him was a genuine rogue cultivator at the Golden Light Realm!"

"--What?!"

Wan Jinquan was shocked again, "It's actually Daozi Ling Daochen?! He's here to attend this auction too?"

The old man said, "That Wood Spirit Pill was the last one he obtained."

The thunder dissipated, and the dark clouds that had been rolling high in the sky began to slowly recede.

"Is this... the end?"

Wan Jinquan looked up at the sky, which had returned to calm.

"ended."

The old man's tone was filled with amazement and envy, "To cleave the golden light with the power to shake a mountain, Ling Daochen truly deserves to be hailed as the most talented genius in the Purple Cloud Dao Palace tens of thousands of years ago, the one with the greatest potential to break through to that realm!"

"Mountain-shaking, reverse-cutting golden light!!"

If these words hadn't come from the old man, Wan Jinquan would never have believed them, not even if he were beaten to death.

After the initial shock, he immediately thought to himself with a touch of self-deprecation: We're both at the Mountain-Shaking Realm, so how can the difference between people be so vast!

When he encountered a Golden Light Realm expert, he would probably only be able to run away desperately, but look at Ling Daochen, who defied the heavens and directly killed him.

If you do the math, Ling Daochen is actually several decades younger than him!

Wan Jinquan instantly felt that all his hard work of cultivating for over a hundred years had been for nothing.

Just then, the old man turned to Wan Jinquan and instructed, "You don't need to investigate that Jiang kid who took out the Wood Spirit Pill any further! It's fine to befriend him, but don't have any other ideas!"

"Why?"

Wan Jinquan looked puzzled.

He believed the Grand Elder was well aware of the immense value of top-grade pills, and he really didn't want to let this big fish slip away for nothing.

Upon hearing Wan Jinquan's question, the old man's expression suddenly turned serious. "That kid's identity is not simple! When I used my secret treasure to spy on him at the auction, I not only found nothing, but also attracted the attention of a terrifying gaze!"

"Just one glance from that gaze sent shivers down my spine and made my inner energy surge! It felt like facing the might of heaven and earth!"

"What?!!"

Wan Jinquan was stunned speechless by the old man's description.

You should know that the Grand Elder has a cultivation level at the peak of the Golden Light Realm!

Only a peerless expert at the Core Formation Realm could exert such a deterrent effect on the Grand Elder with just a glance!

Moreover, it's not just as simple as just entering the Danxi Realm!

"Understood, Elder!"

After Wan Jin learned that Jiang Xiaochuan had such a terrifyingly powerful backer, he naturally dared not have any more bad thoughts.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaochuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the inn's bed, grinning and counting the spirit stones one by one, was completely unaware that the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce had already listed him as one of the key targets that should absolutely not be provoked and that could only be befriended.

Furthermore, the appraiser and maid who had previously treated him with great hospitality received a generous reward.

"Get rich! Get rich!"

As he counted, Jiang Xiaochuan excitedly muttered to himself.

Xiaoqing, who was peering out the window, saw Jiang Xiaochuan looking like a money-grubber and immediately rolled her eyes at him.

"I said, there seemed to be a fight outside the city just now, it looked quite exciting. Instead of going to see what was going on, you insisted on staying in bed counting spirit stones. It's simply unreasonable! These stones are already in your hands, do you think you can run away?!"

"What's so interesting about fighting?"

Jiang Xiaochuan replied nonchalantly, "People in this world only know how to fight and kill; they don't understand the principle of making money through harmony."

Xiaoqing was too lazy to argue with Jiang Xiaochuan, so she asked instead, "When are you going to send that blood jade coral you bought back to its owner?"

"Not in a hurry."

Jiang Xiaochuan began to store the counted spirit stones into his storage bracelet. "When the time comes, I will naturally return them."

For the next five days, Jiang Xiaochuan did not leave, but remained in Yaoguang City.

In the few battles he had fought before, he seemed to have developed a liking for the feeling of using talismans to smash people. Therefore, while he had money on hand, he bought a large batch of talisman paper and began to draw them extensively in the inn.

Having become quite skilled at drawing talismans, Jiang Xiaochuan did not encounter many failures this time and completed nearly three hundred high-level talismans in one go!

By the time Jiang Xiaochuan had used up all the talismans, it was already late at night.

After putting away his talisman-drawing tools, Jiang Xiaochuan stood up from his chair, stretched, and walked to the window.

The moment Jiang Xiaochuan opened the window and looked out, he suddenly sensed something and immediately looked towards the southeast.

"No……"

Seeing that everything in the direction he was looking was normal, Jiang Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and then two beams of blue light shone in his eyes.

The moment the blue light appeared, a crimson array with flowing patterns suddenly materialized out of thin air!

“That location—” Jiang Xiaochuan was immediately taken aback, “is the Zhuge family’s!”

Just as Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned, the great formation began to fluctuate. Then, more than a dozen powerful auras flew out of the formation and headed straight out of the city.

Jiang Xiaochuan could clearly sense that among the people who flew out, three were familiar to him: the brothers Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Qi, plus Yu Lengjiao from the Nine Dragons Gang.

Besides the three, there were several other auras that were much stronger than theirs.

"It seems the Zhuge family has run into some trouble."

While Jiang Xiaochuan was pondering, the dozen or so powerful figures who had flown out of the city had already begun to fight.

The dazzling moves flashed and roared in the night sky from time to time, and the resulting vibrations even affected the guest room where Jiang Xiaochuan was.

Xiaoqing and Xiaogu arrived at the window at some point.

"Jiang Xiaochuan, run over there quickly! Those people seem to be fighting desperately!"

Xiaoqing shouted as if she wanted to stir up trouble.
