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

Cai Shiyuan glanced at the three of them and said, "This kind of method that violates the laws of the growth of all things is not impossible for a grandmaster, but it requires a corresponding technique. Moreover, even with the technique, the range of influence is very limited, certainly not as large as covering an entire town. But even so, it is still quite remarkable!"

As one of the core figures of the Sword Inquiry Sect, he was naturally aware of some of the sect's secrets.

More than four hundred years ago, their Sword Inquiry Sect also had a Grandmaster! That's why he was so clear about some of the Grandmaster's methods and deeds.

This is why the leaders of the Sword Inquiry Sect were so excited after hearing the story of the immortal's blessing and the news brought back by Tong Mu and Che Zhanhong, which all came from the same place, and after discussing it overnight, they dispatched him to Qingyang Town as soon as possible.

His only purpose in coming here was to do his best to win over this mysterious sect member who was very likely a rogue cultivator!

Even if it means sacrificing the sect's most precious grandmaster inheritance, they are willing to do so!

After all, a living grandmaster is far more valuable than a grandmaster's legacy.

Then Cai Shiyuan seemed to realize something, and his expression instantly turned serious. He instructed the three of them:

"Remember: A grandmaster must not be insulted! When you travel the martial world in the future, you must keep your eyes wide open and never try to emulate those two heroes of the Northwest! Not all grandmasters have good tempers, nor do all grandmasters openly display their status. If you offend such a person, your own death is a small matter; your sect may be implicated and ultimately perish!"

Seeing how seriously Cai Shiyuan spoke, the three of them were all taken aback and nodded earnestly.

"Uncle-Master, what should we do next?"

To ease the tension, Tong Mu asked Cai Shiyuan a question.

Cai Shiyuan said, "After all, this matter concerns a Grandmaster. We are newcomers and cannot act rashly. Let's find an inn to stay in first, and then split up to gather information. Remember, do not reveal your identities for the time being. It's best to disguise yourself as an ordinary person and avoid any conflict with the villagers in the town!"

He had his own reasons for saying that. In fact, he had always felt that the grandmaster had not left Qingyang Town.

The time between the "Immortal's Blessing" and the "Northwest Twin Heroes" incident was several months.

For a grandmaster-level expert to stay in a seemingly ordinary town for months, it's either because the town is hiding some enormous secret, or because this grandmaster is simply posing as an ordinary person and enjoying life.

Although the first guess seemed the most reasonable, Cai Shiyuan immediately ruled it out.

If this town truly harbors any extraordinary secret, how could it possibly escape the notice of those powerful figures with connections to the heavens? At that point, more than one grandmaster would surely arrive. After all, the imperial court's explicit prohibitions do not include preventing grandmasters from seeking their own opportunities.

Therefore, the most likely answer is the second one.

Furthermore, the way the two Northwest Heroes were punished seems to further corroborate this point.

If this grandmaster had not been a person who preferred tranquility and disliked killing, the two heroes of the Northwest would have had no chance of survival.

Of course, these were just his own guesses, and he would not say these things to the three younger people.

The four of them quickly settled into an inn in town and stayed there temporarily.

In order not to disturb the villagers in the town and arouse suspicion, Cai Shiyuan and his three companions changed into plain clothes when they went out to gather information, and left their weapons in their room at the inn.

Among the three elders of the Sword Inquiry Sect, Cai Shiyuan was the most tactful, the most shrewd, and the most skilled at social interaction. In addition, he had a very kind-looking face, so whenever there was a need for social interaction within the sect, he was usually the one to handle it.

Therefore, Cai Shiyuan easily became acquainted with the villagers in the town, and in less than three days, he found out the information he wanted.

So, that evening, Cai Shiyuan called Tong Mu and the other two over together.

When the three learned that Cai Shiyuan had already identified the suspect, they were stunned by the speed and efficiency of his actions.

To ensure the accuracy of the information, Cai Shiyuan did not make a decision immediately, but instead asked the other three to also share the information they had received over the past few days.

Unexpectedly, when the information from the four people was put together, they were surprised to find that the suspicious targets all pointed to the same person.

And that person was, of course, Jiang Yuchuan.

"Judging from the villagers' descriptions, that Mr. Jiang should be about our age. Even if he has superb medical skills and is very knowledgeable, that's about it. He's nowhere near a grandmaster!"

Cai Yingmei shook her head repeatedly.

She simply couldn't imagine or believe that this young man, who sounded like a gentle and frail man to the villagers, could be a master-level expert with world-destroying power.

Although Tong Mu and Che Zhanhong remained silent, they shared the same thoughts as Cai Yingmei.

Whether it's his age, appearance, or the skills he displays, this Mr. Jiang is nowhere near a master.

It's not that they judge people by their appearance, but even if a grandmaster has the best techniques for preserving their youth, they will never look as young as a man in his twenties.

The reason why the Grandmaster realm is so powerful lies in the understanding of the 'Tao'.

With so many martial arts styles in the world, it's no easy feat to forge your own path. It's not something that can be achieved solely through talent and comprehension; it requires a great deal of time to accumulate, refine, and deeply understand.

Looking at the established masters in the martial arts world, which one of them didn't spend decades or even nearly a century on this path before achieving success?

The youngest known grandmaster in the martial arts world was only able to attain enlightenment at the age of seventy-four.

The youngest known master appears to be only in his early forties, not as young as Mr. Jiang.

Even if we assume that Mr. Jiang is indeed a grandmaster, he would definitely be a grandmaster who attained enlightenment before the age of sixty.

Such a person is truly unprecedented and unparalleled!

How could such an extraordinary person be an unknown individual, and how could he be content to live in seclusion in a small town like Qingyang!

That doesn't make sense!

It just doesn't make sense!

After a long silence, Cai Shiyuan slowly spoke:

"You are all too young! Have you ever thought about this carefully? If Mr. Jiang were truly so weak, how could he have stayed in the Daqing Mountains alone for more than ten days? You should know how dangerous the Daqing Mountains are for ordinary people. Have you ever heard of Mr. Jiang ever returning to town from the mountains with any injuries?"

After thinking it over carefully, the three of them realized that they had never heard any villager say that Mr. Jiang had any injuries when he returned from collecting herbs. In fact, not only did he not have any injuries, he was in the same condition when he left as when he returned!

"But that doesn't prove that Mr. Jiang is a grandmaster, does it? At most, he just has some martial arts skills."

Cai Yingmei continued to shake her head.

Clearly, Cai Shiyuan's words did not convince her.

"When did I say that Mr. Jiang was a grandmaster?"

Cai Shiyuan looked at his daughter and winked with a smile.

"--ah?"

Cai Yingmei asked with a puzzled look, "Since this Mr. Jiang is not the master we are looking for, why have we been discussing him for so long? Isn't that just a waste of our energy and time?"

"Even if this Mr. Jiang is not that grandmaster, it is highly likely that he has a great connection with that grandmaster!"

Cai Shiyuan looked at the three of them, his expression calm, with a smile that said, "Everything is going as I expected."
