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

This was the first time Cai Yingmei had heard the title 'Seven Star Sword Master,' so her expression showed more confusion than shock.

Tong Mu and Che Zhanhong were more shocked than confused, and even somewhat incredulous.

Clearly, they had both heard of the title 'Seven Star Sword Master'.

"Go back immediately! This matter needs further consideration!"

Without saying a word, Cai Shiyuan turned around and walked back.

After this turn of events, the three dared not have any different opinions. They were all eager to get as far away from that Seven Star Sword Master as possible, so they obediently followed behind Cai Shiyuan and returned the way they came.

"Uncle-Master Cai, isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence that the Seven Star Sword Master is appearing in Qingyang Town at this time?"

After calming down, Tong Mu guessed, "Or perhaps, the mysterious grandmaster we're looking for is actually—"

Cai Shiyuan glanced at Tong Mu and sighed, "Your guess is not without possibility. But whether the mysterious grandmaster we are looking for is the Seven Star Sword Master or not is no longer important. Our mission this time is destined to fail!"

Tong Mu and Che Zhanhong both fell silent upon hearing this.

Cai Shiyuan was right. If their guess was accurate, the Seven Star Sword Master, as a veteran grandmaster of Baiyun Temple, would never be swayed by their attempts to win him over.

If the Seven Star Sword Master is not that mysterious grandmaster, then he must have a close relationship with that grandmaster, otherwise he would not have appeared in Qingyang Town at this time, nor would he have walked on the only way to Mr. Jiang's courtyard.

To attempt to win over the Seven Star Sword Master right under his nose is tantamount to poaching people from the White Cloud Temple, something their small Sword Inquiry Sect simply doesn't have the ability to do.

Therefore, no matter which outcome they ultimately achieve, their mission will fail!

The more excited we were on the way here, the heavier our hearts were on the way back.

Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, Cai Yingmei quietly asked Tong Mu, "Senior Brother Tong, what is the background of that Seven Star Sword Master? Is he also a Grandmaster? Why was he able to intimidate us so much just by glancing at us?"

Tong Mu glanced furtively at Cai Shiyuan, who was walking ahead, and whispered back:

"The Seven Star Sword Master, whose Daoist name is Xuanxi, is the only remaining Xuan-generation master in Baiyun Temple. Even the current abbot of Baiyun Temple, Master Jingwei, has to address him as his senior uncle! In the martial arts world, those who can be called 'Master' are all the strongest among grandmasters, truly standing at the pinnacle of the world!"

"That's amazing!?"

Cai Yingmei was immediately speechless.

She simply couldn't imagine how powerful a top-tier master must be!

Tong Mu continued, "Junior Sister, it's normal that you haven't heard of the Seven Star Sword Master. After all, since the imperial court and the major sects reached an agreement, those grandmasters have almost never appeared in the martial arts world again. But it is said that twenty years ago, a grandmaster from the Great Yong Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to the Great Qian Dynasty to challenge the Seven Star Sword Master, hoping to become famous in the martial arts world by defeating him!"

"Did the Seven Star Sword Master agree?"

Cai Yingmei asked with a curious look.

Tong Mu nodded: "The Seven Star Sword Master naturally accepted. And the battle location has been set at No Return Peak!"

"So who won in the end?"

Cai Yingmei continued to press for answers.

Tong Mu laughed and said, "Naturally, the Seven Star Sword Master won! It is said that the Seven Star Sword Master did not even draw his sword, but defeated that Grandmaster of the Great Yong Dynasty with just one finger!"

"Defeating a Grandmaster with a single finger?!"

Cai Yingmei was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.

Just like his father said, even the weakest grandmaster is still a grandmaster! Even if the opponent is also a grandmaster, he shouldn't be unable to withstand even a single finger from the opponent!

The difference in strength between these grandmasters is simply too great!

After her initial shock, Tsai Ying-mei's face was filled with emotion and anticipation.

I wish she could cultivate such powerful strength!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to get the title of "Number One Female Grandmaster in the World"?

……

Meanwhile, as Cai Shiyuan and his three companions returned to the inn looking rather disheveled, Xuan Xi smiled and pushed open the gate to Jiang Yuchuan's courtyard.

As soon as Xuanxi entered, she saw Qi Changqing practicing the sword techniques he had taught her, holding a three-foot-long wooden sword. Jiang Yuchuan, on the other hand, was sitting to the side tidying up the medicinal herbs he had gathered from Daqing Mountain over the past few days.

Xuanxi watched quietly from the side until Qi Changqing finished practicing the entire sword technique before stepping forward to praise him:

"Indeed! With your current strength, Xiao Changqing, you are virtually unmatched among second-rate martial artists throughout the entire martial world!"

"I must also thank Daoist Xuanxi for his careful guidance."

Qi Changqing clasped his hands in thanks to Xuan Xi.

Xuanxi smiled mischievously: "If Xiao Changqing really wants to thank this old Daoist, why not become his disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Changqing immediately shook his head and explained, "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Xuanxi, but I only want to learn medicine from you right now and have no intention of becoming your apprentice."

"Alas! What a pity."

Xuanxi could easily see through Qi Changqing's true thoughts.

But—it's easier said than done!

During the few days he went into the mountains not long ago, he took advantage of Qi Changqing's sleep to ask Jiang Yuchuan if he had any plans to take Qi Changqing as his disciple.

Jiang Yuchuan's answer was no.

The reason he asked this question was because, after spending so much time together, he had developed a fondness for Qi Changqing's talent and wanted to take Qi Changqing as his personal disciple.

However, Qi Changqing had been learning medicine from Jiang Yuchuan first, so he would never have asked for the release if Jiang Yuchuan had no intention of doing so.

Jiang Yuchuan naturally saw through Xuan Xi's intentions and stated directly that he would respect Qi Changqing's wishes in everything, and that he would not object to Qi Changqing's idea at all.

Therefore, Xuanxi's seemingly joking question just now was entirely from the bottom of her heart.

Unfortunately, in the end, he was still rejected without any mercy.

Although being rejected was expected, Xuanxi still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

As a dignified Seven Star Sword Master, he is a top-tier existence in the entire world!

If the martial arts world knew that he planned to take on disciples, the number of people coming to become his apprentices would be so great that they would wear down the threshold of Baiyun Temple! Even those royal children who are usually high and mighty would be tempted by this!

--well!

At this moment, saying anything more would be useless.

But thinking about it carefully, if he were Qi Changqing, he would probably make the same decision.

With that thought in mind, Xuanxi turned her gaze to Jiang Yuchuan, who was sitting to the side arranging medicinal herbs, and asked, somewhat making conversation:

"Mr. Jiang, are you planning to keep all these medicinal herbs for your own use?"

"Keep only half," Jiang Yuchuan replied without looking up. "The rest will be sold to the town's pharmacies to get some money."

Xuanxi was immediately taken aback.

Even if only half of these medicinal herbs are sold, it will still bring in a considerable amount of money.

"Is Mr. Jiang preparing for a long trip?"

If he weren't going out, Jiang Yuchuan, who lived in town and rarely spent more than a few coins a day, wouldn't need to exchange so much silver at once.

Qi Changqing stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Yuchuan.

“That’s right, I’m planning to go out for a walk.” Jiang Yuchuan didn’t hide his thoughts. “When things are too still, one is tempted to move. Life in town is certainly peaceful and pleasant, but I also want to see the scenery of the martial arts world.”

This time, Xuanxi fell silent.

Because he couldn't be sure if Jiang Yuchuan's words had any other meaning.

After all, although the Great Qian Dynasty appears to be peaceful at present, undercurrents are already surging.

Once Jiang Yuchuan steps into the martial world, if he really wants to do something, the entire climate of the Great Qian Dynasty will probably change!

After all, this is an existence that only exists in legends and above the Grandmaster level!
