Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 36 Jiangzhou Fishing Fire
Xuanxi and Lingzhan left Qingyang Town early the next morning.
When Qi Changqing learned that Xuanxi was leaving, he specially went home to fetch a small basket of apricots and gave them to Xuanxi as a way of thanking him for his careful guidance over the past few days.
Xuanxi had once asked Jiang Yuchuan for an apricot, so she knew how precious it was. She was very happy and praised Qi Changqing profusely as she accepted the apricot.
After Xuanxi and Lingzhan left, Cai Shiyuan and the other three also left Qingyang Town.
The events that occurred in Qingyang Town were far beyond Cai Shiyuan's expectations. He had to return to the sect as soon as possible to inform the sect leader and other elders about these matters.
Furthermore, Cai Shiyuan felt that the emergence of two Grandmaster-level experts in this small town of Qingyang was definitely not a good omen!
Then, recalling the rumors circulating in the martial arts world about the current emperor's critical illness, he instantly felt a sense of impending doom.
Over the next few days, Jiang Yuchuan prepared for his travels.
He won't be back for a while after this trip, so he gave Qi Changqing a few days off to stay home and spend time with Zhang Ying.
In the past few days, he prepared many pills and talismans, and even went to the clothing shop in town to make three sets of clothes for Qi Changqing, in pine green, moon white and light blue.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse; when you're out and about, you should pay attention to your appearance.
Besides clothing, Jiang Yuchuan also specially prepared a lot of seasonings and stored them in the spirit pearl for use when camping in the wilderness at night.
During his previous conversation with Xuanxi, Jiang Yuchuan had gained some understanding of the current situation in Daqian and knew what was hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface.
If Qi Changqing wants to truly grow up and protect his family with his own strength, he must see blood and witness firsthand what the real martial arts world is like.
As a healer, while one should possess a compassionate and benevolent heart, one cannot be indiscriminate in showing mercy to everyone. Knowing who should be saved and who should not is another skill that Jiang Yuchuan intends to teach Qi Changqing during this journey.
Time flew by and the day of departure arrived.
Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing, who had changed into new clothes, left Qingyang Town amidst the tearful farewells of Sun Ying and Aunt Sun.
Jiang Yuchuan's first stop on this trip was Sheng'an City.
After all, he had already accepted the invitation that Lu Jingchen had specially sent, so he still had to attend the Lu family patriarch's birthday banquet.
It was only April, and there were still more than two months until the Lu family's birthday banquet, so Jiang Yuchuan was not in a hurry to travel. He did not choose the shortest, less-traveled mountain road, but instead took the second, slightly longer route, which passed through many villages and cities.
He and Qi Changqing didn't bring much with them on this trip, each carrying only a lightly packed bag. They were traveling light, and since their current strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, their speed was not slow even when traveling on foot.
As evening approached, the two arrived at a dock.
At this moment, what lies before Jiang Yuchuan is an incomparably wide river, and crossing this river is the only way for Jiang Yuchuan to complete his journey.
Although the sun has set, the number of people coming and going near the dock has not decreased, and there are many empty boats of various sizes moored on the shore for passengers who want to cross the river to choose from.
Jiang Yuchuan preferred peace and quiet and had plenty of money, so he and Qi Changqing chartered a medium-sized boat.
The person in charge of rowing the boat was an elderly man surnamed Sun, who was about sixty years old.
When Old Man Sun saw that the two men, one big and one small, who had chartered the boat were not only generous but also clean-dressed and handsome, he immediately regarded them as young masters from wealthy families and showed them great enthusiasm.
With Old Man Sun's push, the boat quickly moved away from the shore and slowly drifted towards the center of the river.
Qi Changqing, having traveled continuously for a day, ate some of the food he had brought with him and then went into the cabin to rest.
Jiang Yuchuan stayed outside, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
The sky had completely darkened by this time, and all the fishing boats sailing on the river had lit candles.
The Milky Way shines brightly, and the fishing lights twinkle softly.
In this situation, wouldn't it be a pity if there were no fine wine to accompany it?
Fortunately, Jiang Yuchuan was prepared. He immediately took out a gourd full of wine from his bundle, twisted open the spout, and was about to take a big gulp when he suddenly caught sight of Old Man Sun rowing the boat. He stopped what he was doing and smiled at Old Man Sun:
"Brother Sun, would you be interested in having a drink with me?"
"This, this is not good!"
Having already caught a whiff of the wine's aroma, Old Man Sun couldn't help but swallow hard, revealing an expression of being flattered.
Jiang Yuchuan laughed and said, "Brother Sun, there's no need to be so formal. Meeting is fate. Putting everything else aside, just for this rare connection, we should drink a cup together!"
Old Man Sun was not one to be coy. Hearing Jiang Yuchuan say this, he felt much more favorably disposed towards him and stopped refusing.
"Young Master Jiang is right! Then this old man will humbly offer to drink a bowl with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Sun crouched down and went into the cabin, and quickly came out with a large bowl.
Jiang Yuchuan was very pleased to see this, and immediately raised his gourd and poured a large bowl of wine for Old Man Sun.
Old Man Sun carefully took the large bowl of wine, couldn't help but swallow, slowly brought the bowl to his lips, sucked hard, and immediately showed a look of great satisfaction.
"Great wine! The taste is authentic!!"
"Brother Sun, please!"
Jiang Yuchuan smiled, raised his gourd to Old Man Sun, and took a big gulp.
Seeing this, Old Man Sun also eagerly took a big gulp, but before he could savor it, he looked shocked and exclaimed:
"This wine tastes so familiar—it's Luoyanlou's 'Ten Miles of Top Scholar Red'!"
"Brother Sun, do you recognize this wine?"
This wine was sent by Lu Jingchen before the New Year. Jiang Yuchuan had only drunk it once or twice, so he naturally didn't know its origin or name.
"Of course I know you!"
Old Man Sun nodded vigorously, his face beaming with excitement as he introduced:
"This wine is called 'Ten Miles of Top Scholar Red,' and its reputation in the Great Qian Dynasty is no less than that of the four legendary famous wines! It is an unparalleled wine that only Luoyan Tower in Sheng'an City can brew! Legend has it that when this wine is brewed, its aroma can travel for ten miles without dissipating! That is why it is called 'Ten Miles of Top Scholar Red'!"
Old Man Sun did not mention that a single pot of this wine cost eight taels of gold.
It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to hide anything, but seeing that Jiang Yuchuan could easily take out that large gourd of wine and then casually share a large bowl with him, he was clearly a man of considerable wealth. If he were to explain the value of the wine further, it would be completely unnecessary and somewhat spoil the mood.
"Luoyan Tower, ten miles of Zhuangyuan Red..."
Jiang Yuchuan couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that Sheng'an City is quite a good place!" As he spoke, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp of water.
Upon learning that this wine was the famous Shili Zhuangyuan Hong, Old Man Sun's hands trembled slightly as he held the bowl. He drank with even greater care, afraid of spilling a single drop, for it would be enough to make him feel heartbroken all night.
