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

The young man in brocade knew he was no match for the wolf king, but he could never bring himself to sit idly by and wait for his death.

Even if he dies, he wants to die with dignity!

Seeing that the boy dared to attack him, the wolf king immediately leaped up, knocked the sword out of the boy's hand with a claw, pinned it to the ground, and opened its bloody mouth, ready to bite down.

Just when the boy thought he was about to be devoured by wolves, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and then saw the wolf king that was pressing down on him fall to the side with a thud.

Upon seeing their alpha wolf killed, the surrounding wolf pack immediately panicked, scattering into the woods and disappearing without a trace.

It took the boy a while to come to his senses. He sat up blankly and looked at the wolf king lying in a pool of blood beside him.

Am I... saved?

When he saw that what had taken the wolf king's life was a green leaf, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The ability to penetrate the wolf king's exceptionally hard skull with just a leaf is truly terrifying!

"Junior Lu Jingchen thanks you for saving my life, senior!"

After standing up, the boy named Lu Jingchen immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, expressing his gratitude to those around him in a respectful manner.

Although he had been rescued, Lu Jingchen felt no joy at surviving a disaster; instead, he felt a bit nervous.

After all, people will always feel fear when faced with the unknown, even if the other party is their savior.

"Saving you was nothing more than a small favor. If you want to thank me, how about giving me the herb you have on you?"

Lu Jingchen was startled when he saw the man in black suddenly appear in front of him.

He never expected that the person who saved him would be so young!

He did not doubt the other person's identity because of their appearance and age.

After all, the aura emanating from this person, as well as his calm and distant gaze, were not qualities that a young martial artist could possess.

Moreover, in the martial arts world, youthful appearance is not always a perfect match for strength. Some miraculous martial arts techniques, or the cultivation of one's internal energy to a certain level, can delay the aging process.

As long as one's inner strength remains, one will appear much younger than their actual age.

Without exception, all of these people were top masters in the martial arts world!

Clearly, the man in front of him, Jiang Yuchuan, had already been included in this group.

Jiang Yuchuan raised an eyebrow when he saw the boy staring blankly at him without answering. "What? You're reluctant to part with him?"

Lu Jingchen then realized his lapse in composure, his cheeks flushing red. He immediately took out the herbs from his pocket, offered them with both hands, and said sincerely:

"No, no, no! If it weren't for your timely rescue, I would have perished here long ago. This Fulan grass should be given to you, senior! Please accept it!"

When Jiang Yuchuan heard Lu Jingchen refer to 'Fuling Grass' as 'Fulan Grass', he had a plan in mind. He took it without making a sound and put it into the bamboo basket on his back.

"You're injured right now, do you have anywhere to go?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's question, Lu Jingchen's expression darkened: "This junior intends to return the way I came and leave this Daqingshan."

Of the twelve people in their group, only he remained. The losses were devastating, and if he didn't leave, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuchuan's heart stirred, and he said, "Alright, I was just planning to leave this place anyway, so we can travel together."

"It is an honor for a junior to walk alongside such a senior!"

This is undoubtedly good news for Lu Jingchen.

He was already injured, and his strength wasn't particularly high. If he went down the mountain alone, it would be questionable whether he could even make it out safely. But now, with Jiang Yuchuan accompanying him, his safety was no longer an issue.

"When does Senior plan to depart?" Lu Jingchen glanced around and said, "Could you give me some time to collect the bodies of my companions?"

"No rush. Traveling at night is inconvenient; we can set off at dawn."

After saying that, Jiang Yuchuan walked to a nearby boulder, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Lu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a pill from his pocket, swallowed it, and immediately began to dig pits and bury his companions' corpses one by one.

By the time he had buried all the corpses and also cleared away the carcasses of the wolves around him, the moon was high in the sky.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Jiang Yuchuan, who was still meditating with his eyes closed, thought for a moment, went to the vicinity to collect some dry firewood, lit a campfire, skewered the prepared wolf king's hind leg meat, and roasted it by the fire.

While the meat was being grilled, Lu Jingchen began to meditate and heal his injuries.

The moonlight, like water, filtered through the tall, dense foliage, casting dappled silver light.

The orange campfire crackled intermittently, echoing the melodious birdsong, adding to the tranquility of the dense forest in the dead of night.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Jingchen finished his cultivation, opened his eyes, and saw that the wolf leg was about 80% cooked. He immediately sprinkled the seasoning spices that he had taken out in advance on it.

With the addition of spices, the aroma of the roasted meat was fully released, causing Jiang Yuchuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, to unconsciously swallow.

"It smells so good..."

This feeling of being whetted by aroma was completely foreign to Jiang Yuchuan.

In his previous life, before he had fully achieved the Golden Core stage and completely abstained from food, he relied on fasting pills to maintain his body's functions. As for the desires of the palate, he never had any. Single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao, he had neither the time nor the inclination to enjoy such things.

But things are different now. Having been given a second chance at life, I can't afford to miss out on the things I didn't get to enjoy before.

"Senior, the meat is ready."

Hearing Lu Jingchen's call, Jiang Yuchuan did not refuse and immediately got up and sat down in front of the campfire.

When Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Yuchuan sit down, he immediately handed him the wolf leg that was cooked to perfection and looked the best.

Jiang Yuchuan took the roasted, golden-brown, and fragrant wolf leg, blew on it a few times, and then eagerly took a big bite.

"It tastes good." Jiang Yuchuan nodded in praise as he chewed. "Judging from your clothes, you must be from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect you to have such culinary skills."

Hearing Jiang Yuchuan's praise, Lu Jingchen scratched his head shyly: "Thank you for your praise, senior. I'm glad you like it. I have longed for the martial arts world since I was a child, so when I was very young, I became a disciple of a master and learned martial arts and some survival skills in the wild from him."

"The martial world isn't so easy to navigate," Jiang Yuchuan said calmly. "While wolf packs are ferocious and brutal, they're nowhere near as terrifying as humans. The martial world you yearn for is a place that devours people without spitting out the bones. Someone as insignificant as you, with your meager martial arts skills, would likely be thrown in and not even make a ripple. Are you sure you still want to venture in?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's words, Lu Jingchen immediately fell into deep thought.

The scene of fighting with the wolf pack not long ago is still vivid in my mind; it would be impossible to say I wasn't afraid.

He is only sixteen years old this year, and has been in the martial arts world for less than a year. Under the protection of his family, he has never really come into contact with the martial arts world.

The battle with the wolf pack was the most dangerous fight he had ever experienced.

He had no doubt about Jiang Yuchuan's words. After all, even though he had not actually entered the martial arts world, he had heard a lot about the stories and legends of the martial arts world.

But hearing about it and experiencing it firsthand are two completely different things. So, when Jiang Yuchuan asked him, he couldn't give an answer for a moment.

But after witnessing Jiang Yuchuan's strength firsthand and realizing his own weakness, Lu Jingchen's heart was not defeated; instead, a flame was ignited within him.

He was unwilling to live such an ordinary life!

Even though he was at the foot of this mountain called Jianghu, he still wanted to climb higher and higher, or stand on the top of the mountain to take a look!

Lu Jingchen's gaze instantly hardened, and he nodded heavily to Jiang Yuchuan:

"No matter how dangerous the world is, I still intend to venture out! Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will have no regrets!"
