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

Considering Zhuge Jingxing's current strength and situation, Jiang Xiaochuan thought carefully and decided not to tell him what he had heard.

He didn't intend to hide the matter; he just wanted Zhuge Jingxing to find out later.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two went straight to the second floor of the inn to rest.

The next morning, the two continued their journey.

Coincidentally, the disguised woman, like Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Jingxing, left the inn in the early morning, heading in the same direction as the two of them—towards Xuanyin Mansion.

Although they were going the same way, they did not talk to each other and maintained a certain distance at all times.

Only after they had completely entered the territory of Xuanyin Prefecture did the woman part ways with Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Jingxing.

Once inside the Xuan Yin Prefecture, the two no longer acted as cautiously and secretly as they had in the Tai Yu Prefecture.

Compared to Taiyu Mansion, Xuanyin Mansion is much more refined and exquisite in both its architectural style and the clothing of its visitors.

Moreover, whether walking through villages and towns or the streets of the capital, one can often see groups of men, women, and children, either in pairs or in small groups, playing various musical instruments and singing loudly. Passersby do not find it noisy at all; some even join in and dance along with the songs and music.

This can be considered one of the most prominent cultural characteristics of Xuanyin Mansion.

According to Zhuge Jingxing, the phenomenon of singing and dancing in Xuanyin Mansion and the whole population's love for music was entirely influenced by Tianyin Water Pavilion.

Tianyin Water Pavilion is a very ancient sect that specializes in music techniques. The weapons used by its disciples are mostly various musical instruments.

Although it is a Silver-level force, its overall strength is several times greater than that of the Zhuge family and the Nine Dragons Gang. Even on the entire Tianque Continent, the power of Tianyin Water Pavilion is enough to rank among the top.

Therefore, within the territory of Xuanyin Prefecture, Tianshui Pavilion can be said to be the undisputed number one.

This is why Zhuge Yunxuan insisted that after Zhuge Jingxing escaped, he must go to Tianyin Water Pavilion to seek refuge with his elder sister and aunt who were cultivating there.

Zhuge Jingxing's aunt, Zhuge Ning, had been a disciple of Tianyin Water Pavilion for decades.

After decades of secluded cultivation in the pavilion, Zhuge Ning has now reached the late stage of the Mountain-Shaking Realm and has been promoted to an elder of the pavilion. His strength is much stronger than his two older brothers, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Qi.

Zhuge Jingxing's elder sister, Zhuge Lingxuan, showed extraordinary musical talent from a young age, so she was introduced by Zhuge Ning to join the Tianyin Water Pavilion.

Zhuge Lingxuan is currently cultivating under the tutelage of Zhuge Ning.

When Zhuge Jingxing mentioned his exceptionally talented aunt, he felt both gratified and proud, yet secretly saddened.

In his view, if the Kowloon Gang had attacked the Zhuge family, and if his aunt had been there, the Kowloon Gang would not have gained any advantage!

However, Jiang Xiaochuan knew that with that group of mysterious white-cloaked figures around, let alone a late-stage Shaking Mountain Realm expert, even if another expert at the Golden Light Realm appeared, the fate of the Zhuge family would not change much.

Of course, Jiang Xiaochuan only thought these words in his heart and would not actually say them to provoke Zhuge Jingxing.

After arriving at Xuanyin Mansion, the two traveled for more than a month before finally reaching the shores of Cuihua Lake.

Although Cuihua Lake is an inland lake, its area is as vast as the sea, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Tianyin Water Pavilion is located in the center of Cuihua Lake.

Standing on the lake shore, you can see the carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers of varying heights rising from the emerald green lake.

As soon as Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Jingxing arrived at the shore of Cuihua Lake, they saw two female disciples of Tianyin Water Pavilion dressed in gauze dresses fly out from under the lake.

Zhuge Jingxing immediately took out Zhuge Ning's token and handed it over.

Upon seeing that it was a token from an elder of the pavilion, the two female disciples dared not be arrogant at all, and instead blew a very melodious whistle towards the lake.

Not long after the whistle sounded, a rather large ripple appeared on the calm lake surface.

It was clear that some enormous underwater creature was rapidly approaching.

Soon, Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Jingxing saw the true face of the huge underwater creature swimming towards the shore. It turned out to be a giant turtle with a completely black body and a peculiar appearance.

After the giant turtle surfaced, the two female disciples called Zhuge Jingxing and Jiang Xiaochuan to go up together.

Jiang Xiaochuan did not want to visit Tianyin Water Pavilion at the moment, so he declined the invitation and watched the three of them ride the giant tortoise towards the center of the lake before leaving alone.

After leaving Cuihua Lake, Jiang Xiaochuan went to a nearby city and began a life of eating and shopping with Xiaoqing and Xiaogu.

After three days of extravagance, Jiang Xiaochuan finally got down to business, which was to continue drawing talismans.

He had used dozens of talismans in the battle against the man in the white cloak, so he needed to replenish them during this free time.

In addition, Jiang Xiaochuan also discovered that these high-level talismans had negligible effect on martial artists at the Mountain Shaking Realm and above. Even if they were piled up in large quantities, it would be difficult to cause any harm to those martial artists.

Therefore, he still needs to research and develop talismans of higher grade and greater power!

In order to make progress in his research as soon as possible, Jiang Xiaochuan bought all the books related to talismans and formations sold in the city and began to study them carefully.

From these books, Jiang Xiaochuan learned that the most powerful talisman masters on the Tianque Continent no longer use paper, pen, and ink, but can create talismans in mid-air without any medium!

This is similar to how a highly skilled array master can create arrays with a wave of their hand.

Creating talismans in mid-air tests not only the talisman master's understanding and insight into the art of talismans, but also their subtle control over their own true energy.

A slight difference can make a difference of a thousand miles.

Any tiny mistake can lead to failure.

If the attempt to draw a talisman in mid-air fails, the energy condensed within the talisman will immediately explode, potentially injuring the talisman master or even killing them!

These training methods, which are extremely dangerous for martial artists, are child's play for Jiang Xiaochuan.

Let's start practicing right away.

After replenishing his collection of over a hundred high-level talismans, Jiang Xiaochuan began to practice drawing talismans in mid-air every day in the deserted woods outside the city.

This training lasted for more than half a month.

In the past two weeks, Jiang Xiaochuan has destroyed at least 800 to 1,000 trees.

However, because Jiang Xiaochuan's spiritual power was inherited from Jiang Yuchuan, he was able to save the trees that he had destroyed with his spiritual power. As compensation, he even made them grow stronger and more lush than before.

Finally, after hundreds of failures, Jiang Xiaochuan was able to successfully draw a fire dragon talisman in mid-air using his spiritual power.

Just as Jiang Xiaochuan was excited and in high spirits, preparing to continue trying to draw other talismans, he suddenly felt the surroundings tremble violently.

"The earth dragon turned over?"

Jiang Xiaochuan was slightly startled and immediately flew into the air.

But just as he reached mid-air, he was astonished to discover that a crimson light had erupted from the distant, undulating mountains. Immediately afterward, a thick pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.

"This is--"

Gazing at the crimson pillar of light, Jiang Xiaochuan felt a strange sense of familiarity. He quickly recalled where this feeling of familiarity came from.

A secret realm has appeared?!
