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

Led by Aunt Sun, the two walked through several streets and arrived at the south side of the town, a place with rows of houses near the river.

Grandma Sun pointed to a courtyard surrounded by a fence not far away and said:

"Look, that's my house. This street is mostly inhabited by locals, there are hardly any shops, so it's very quiet with few outsiders around."

Jiang Yuchuan nodded, quite satisfied with the surrounding environment.

The three of them quickly arrived at the front of the courtyard.

After taking out her key from her bosom, Aunt Sun unlocked the door and led the two inside.

The yard wasn't big, but it was kept very clean.

There is a peach tree in front of the main house, and under the tree is a square bamboo table and two bamboo chairs. Apart from these, there is nothing else in the yard.

Jiang Yuchuan looked at the peach tree. It was the time for it to bloom and bear fruit, but only a few clumps of listless and dull-colored leaves were hanging on the branches of this peach tree, which clearly indicated that something was wrong.

Following Jiang Yuchuan's gaze, Aunt Sun looked over and said with a regretful expression, "This peach tree has been planted for quite a few years. In the first few years, it did bear some fruit, and the taste was quite good. But I don't know what's wrong with it in the last two years. Not to mention fruit, even a few leaves have grown!"

Then Aunt Sun led the two into the house.

The house has three rooms in total. The bedroom and study are connected and next to each other, while the kitchen is built separately on the right.

From the moment she entered the courtyard, Aunt Sun had been secretly observing Jiang Yuchuan's expression. After touring all the houses, seeing that Jiang Yuchuan always had a smile on his face, she finally understood what was going on and immediately spoke:

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think? Are you satisfied with my house?"

"I am very satisfied."

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and nodded in response.

The house was spotless, both inside and out, and everything was provided, including beds, tables, and chairs. Jiang Yuchuan didn't need to spend any extra time arranging anything; it completely met his expectations. He had no reason to be dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Lu Jingchen immediately asked Granny Sun, "How much is the rent for your house?"

To be honest, in his eyes, this house was not worthy of Senior Jiang's status at all! If Senior Jiang was willing, he could easily provide him with a luxurious mansion in Sheng'an City or the nearby Qishan City, complete with pavilions, terraces, artificial mountains and strange rocks, and filled with exotic flowers and plants!

Unfortunately, Senior Jiang had mentioned to him that he didn't like extravagance and ostentation, so his wish and idea had to be abandoned.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun glanced at Lu Jingchen indifferently and said, "I admire people as capable as Mr. Jiang from the bottom of my heart. Therefore, I will only charge six hundred copper coins per month for rent. Does this young master think that is reasonable?"

She was a woman who had lived for decades, and in her eyes, Lu Jingchen was nothing more than an ignorant young man. She could easily see through Lu Jingchen's thoughts.

To put it bluntly, she knows exactly what kind of shit Lu Jingchen is going to take the moment he bends over!

"Six hundred coins..."

Lu Jingchen was immediately taken aback.

This price is indeed not much.

You should know that in Sheng'an City, a house of similar size would cost at least ten taels of silver per month to rent! And that's in a remote location.

Could it be that Granny Sun isn't here to swindle Senior Jiang out of his money?

Just as Lu Jingchen was frowning in thought, Jiang Yuchuan looked at Granny Sun and smiled, "The more I look at this house, the more I like it. I wonder if Granny Sun has any plans to sell it?"

"Mr. Jiang wants to buy my house? Are you perhaps planning to settle down in town?!"

This time, it was Granny Sun's turn to be stunned. She never expected Jiang Yuchuan to ask such a question.

"It's not really about settling down," Jiang Yuchuan explained with a smile. "It's just for convenience. This place is near Daqingshan Mountain, which makes it convenient for me to go into the mountains to collect herbs. So, it's always good to have a fixed place to stay in this town. Even if I go out for a while and then come back, I'll have a place to stay, so I won't have to worry about food, clothing, and shelter every time."

When Aunt Sun heard this, she thought it made sense. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If Mr. Jiang really wants to buy it, just give me eighty taels of silver. Everything in the house belongs to Mr. Jiang. I won't take anything with me."

"no problem."

Jiang Yuchuan did not hesitate and made a decision immediately.

Eighty taels of silver was indeed not expensive. Seeing that Granny Sun had not cheated Jiang Yuchuan on the price, Lu Jingchen did not say anything more, but his hands were not slow. He took out eighty taels of silver notes and handed them to Granny Sun.

Grandma Sun didn't refuse. She put away the money and immediately rushed home with a smile to get the house deed, handing it over to Jiang Yuchuan along with the keys.

“Mr. Jiang, I live in the first courtyard on the right at the east end of this street. If you have time, please come and visit. I will definitely welcome you.”

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and agreed.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Aunt Sun did not linger any longer and took her leave.

After seeing Aunt Sun off, Jiang Yuchuan sat down under the peach tree and looked at Lu Jingchen, asking, "What are your plans next?"

Lu Jingchen thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to stay at the inn in town for a while and go home after my injuries have healed."

Jiang Yuchuan glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Lu Jingchen felt a little uneasy under that gaze, as if his little thoughts had been seen through. He didn't know whether to stand or sit.

His injuries had actually healed almost completely, but he stayed in town entirely because of Jiang Yuchuan.

Seeing Lu Jingchen standing awkwardly in front of him with his head down, Jiang Yuchuan tugged at the corner of his mouth and said:

"Since you are injured, you should go back and rest early. Remember to come over tomorrow evening."

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Lu Jingchen's eyes lit up instantly. Although Jiang Yuchuan hadn't explained why he had been summoned, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"No problem, senior! I will definitely be there on time tomorrow! Then I won't disturb your rest any longer, senior, I'll be leaving now!" After saying that, she bowed to Jiang Yuchuan again and walked out of the courtyard.

After closing the courtyard gate and making sure he was out of Jiang Yuchuan's sight, Lu Jingchen could no longer control his steps and emotions. With a silly grin on his face, he skipped and hopped towards the inn.

After Lu Jingchen left, Jiang Yuchuan returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and with a thought, entered the Spirit Pearl space.

The Poria cocos grass he had obtained from Lu Jingchen had already been planted in the field. Because this Poria cocos grass itself contained a trace of spiritual energy, it was absorbed much faster than other herbs when watered with spiritual spring water.

In just a few short days, the spiritual energy fluctuations on the branches and leaves of this Poria cocos were already no weaker than those of the first few batches of medicinal herbs he had planted.

"It seems that it won't be long before we can start refining the Spirit Gathering Pill."

Jiang Yuchuan was very satisfied with the progress. He dug up a few newly planted herbs from the field and sat down cross-legged near the spiritual spring.

Before refining the Spirit Gathering Pill, he planned to refine some other simple pills first to practice.

After all, it had been quite some time since he had personally refined pills. Cultivating spiritual herbs in this world was time-consuming, and he didn't want to waste the herbs because of his rusty skills.
