Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 4 Qingyang Town
The next morning, Jiang Yuchuan and Lu Jingchen set off for the outside of the mountain.
Along the way, Jiang Yuchuan subtly inquired and learned a great deal about this world from Lu Jingchen.
The mountain range they are currently in is called Daqingshan, located within the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, and is also the largest mountain range in the entire Daqian.
In this world, the imperial dynasty is the most powerful, ruling the entire land, followed by various sects and families.
Although this world is ruled by various dynasties, it also highly values martial arts. Those who have the means will send their descendants to learn martial arts.
As for martial artists, the highest realm they can cultivate is the Grandmaster realm. Below the Grandmaster realm, they are further divided into first-class, third-class, and fourth-class.
Grandmaster-level martial artists are extremely rare, transcending worldly affairs, and are the backbone and pillar of strength for all major forces.
However, Grandmaster-level experts have not appeared in the martial arts world for decades. Therefore, top-tier martial artists are currently the most powerful beings in the martial arts world on the surface.
Lu Jingchen's strength is only at the initial second-rate level, and he has just begun to cultivate internal energy. Due to a lack of practical combat experience, his overall strength is not strong, and even top-tier third-rate martial artists with a little combat experience can easily defeat him.
Uncle Wang, who sacrificed himself to protect Lu Jingchen, was also of second-rate strength.
According to Lu Jingchen, that uncle's strength was only one step away from the top level of the second tier. If he hadn't been so exhausted and distracted while protecting him, he wouldn't have died so easily under the wolf king's claws.
As for how powerful a Grandmaster-level martial artist is, Lu Jingchen didn't know either, so he only gave a vague answer, saying that they could easily rival an army of ten thousand.
The cultivators that Jiang Yuchuan was most concerned about did not exist in this world. There were many legends about immortals, which had been passed down from ancient times, but no one had ever discovered any trace of them.
Although Lu Jingchen came from a distinguished background, he was not from one of the powerful and long-established families. Therefore, Jiang Yuchuan did not completely believe what he said, but it could be taken as a reference.
The two traveled at breakneck speed for four days before finally leaving the Daqingshan Mountains.
The two were heading to Qingyang Town, the closest village to Daqingshan Mountain.
After leaving Daqingshan, the road under their feet was almost flat, so in less than an hour, the outline of Qingyang Town appeared before them.
Considering that he often needed to collect herbs and refine elixirs, Jiang Yuchuan immediately decided to stay in Qingyang Town for a while to make it easier for him to enter and leave Daqingshan.
It is precisely because of its proximity to the resource-rich Daqingshan Mountain that Qingyang Town is much larger and more populous than other towns and villages. Not counting the merchants and martial artists who come and go, there are hundreds of households living in the town.
Jiang Yuchuan and his companion entered from the busiest main road in town, so they didn't walk for long before Jiang Yuchuan spotted a pharmacy by the roadside.
To survive here, money is essential, but he is currently penniless and can only sell his medicinal herbs.
Seeing Jiang Yuchuan staring intently at the pharmacy, Lu Jingchen immediately asked:
"Senior, are you planning to sell medicinal herbs?"
After all, in the previous conversation, Jiang Yuchuan claimed that he had been cultivating in the deep mountains for many years and rarely set foot in the world. Therefore, considering the current situation, Lu Jingchen could easily guess Jiang Yuchuan's thoughts at this moment.
Seeing Jiang Yuchuan nod, Lu Jingchen immediately smiled and said, "Senior, there's no need for such trouble. If you wish to sell medicinal herbs, you can certainly do so to me." He then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "If you're willing to sell the herbs to me, I'll have something to show for my trip home, and I won't go back empty-handed. Don't worry, Senior, I will absolutely not let you suffer any losses. The price I offer will definitely be higher than what the pharmacy sells!"
"Alright."
Jiang Yuchuan didn't care about this. He immediately took out a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and a palm-sized, bright red Ganoderma lucidum from the bamboo basket on his back.
Lu Jingchen's eyes lit up as he looked at the two medicinal herbs Jiang Yuchuan had taken out: "These ginseng and lingzhi are of excellent quality and very well preserved. I'll offer five hundred taels, what do you think, senior?"
"can."
Jiang Yuchuan smiled and nodded.
As an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years, how could he not see the ingratiating intent behind Lu Jingchen's actions?
This price of five hundred taels is definitely much higher than the normal price. Since the other party offered a high price and he happened to be short of money, he had no reason to refuse.
After completing the transaction, Lu Jingchen, secretly pleased, asked, "What are your plans next, Senior?"
"I plan to stay in Qingyang Town for a while."
No sooner had Jiang Yuchuan finished speaking than the two of them heard a "Oh~" and then saw an old lady in a purple-red floral dress walking over with a smile.
"Young master, you have excellent taste! Our Qingyang Town is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with shops lining the streets. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but it's also very convenient to buy whatever you want. The people in town are also very warm and hospitable! To be honest, young master, quite a few people from other places have settled down in our town!"
“It’s a really nice place.”
Jiang Yuchuan smiled and nodded.
The flamboyantly dressed older woman had been secretly observing them for some time. When she stepped forward to strike up a conversation, Jiang Yuchuan was not surprised at all. However, Lu Jingchen, who was standing to the side, was quite astonished and stared at her warily.
The old woman in the flowery clothes ignored Lu Jingchen, who stood stiffly to the side with an unfriendly gaze and an immature look, and looked at Jiang Yuchuan with a smile on her face, her eyes showing several wrinkles: "My surname is Sun, and the younger generation in the town all call me Aunt Sun. May I ask how you should address me, young master?"
"So it's Aunt Sun. Since you're an elder, you can just call me Xiao Jiang," Jiang Yuchuan replied with a smile.
"Oh dear, that won't do!" Aunt Sun said with a smile, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm a woman. I still have a good eye! I rarely make mistakes when it comes to judging people! Mr. Jiang, you can tell at a glance that you are very capable. I can't bring myself to call you 'Little Jiang'."
Lu Jingchen rolled his eyes inwardly after hearing this.
Do you even need to tell me?
With Senior Jiang's extraordinary appearance and temperament, no one could ignore him unless they were blind!
"Since Mr. Jiang plans to stay in town for a while, have you found a place to stay?"
Seeing that Aunt Sun had finally gotten to the point, Jiang Yuchuan went along with it, shaking his head and saying, "We just came from Daqingshan and have only been in town for a short time. We haven't had time to look for a place to stay yet. Do you have any recommendations, Aunt Sun?"
"Ouch!"
Grandma Sun never expected that this distinguished Mr. Jiang would not only speak so gently and pleasantly, but also be so tactful. Her round face, which was covered in powder, immediately blossomed into a smile: "What a coincidence! I happen to have a house that is vacant. If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, I will rent it to you at a low price!"
Lu Jingchen sneered inwardly.
You woman, you've finally shown your true colors, haven't you?!
With me here, you won't get the slightest advantage from Senior Jiang!
Before Jiang Yuchuan could reply, Lu Jingchen coughed lightly and said in a calm tone, "Madam, where is your house? Shouldn't we at least take a look before making a decision?"
"Of course! My house is nearby, I'll take you two there to have a look!"
After saying that, he led Jiang Yuchuan and Lu Jingchen into a side street and headed towards the house.
Lu Jingchen glanced at Granny Sun walking ahead, then lowered his voice and said to Jiang Yuchuan:
“Senior, if you’re satisfied with the house later, just nod your head. I’ll handle the price. This old lady is so enthusiastic; who knows what she’s up to!” Fearing Jiang Yuchuan might misunderstand, she added, “Senior, you haven’t been out in the world for a long time, so you might not know much about these village women. They’re quite cunning!”
"It's impressive that you've thought of everything so thoroughly."
Jiang Yuchuan smiled and did not refuse Lu Jingchen's kindness.
But in his opinion, although the warm-hearted Granny Sun was somewhat shrewd and calculating, she was not the kind of person Lu Jingchen thought she was.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator who has lived for over a thousand years, he has seen countless people of all kinds. Therefore, when it comes to judging people, especially mortals, he is at least 99% confident, if not 100%.
Lu Jingchen had no idea what Jiang Yuchuan was thinking. Seeing that Jiang Yuchuan did not refuse his help, he was secretly happy!
It seems that my relationship with Senior Jiang has taken another step closer!
