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

Qi Changqing was momentarily stunned when he saw Jiang Jihai plop down next to him.

He didn't seem to recognize this person.

Could it be an old acquaintance of yours, sir?

Upon reflection, Qi Changqing realized that this person also seemed to have the surname 'Jiang,' the same as his teacher.

Could it be——

A bold and outrageous idea suddenly popped into Qi Changqing's mind, so he glanced at Jiang Yuchuan.

However, Jiang Yuchuan did not show the expression he expected. He simply smiled faintly at Jiang Jihai and replied, "Please sit wherever you like, no need to be polite."

In this light, it seems that the fact that the man named Jiang Jihai shares the same surname as the gentleman is merely a coincidence, and the two did not know each other before.

Jiang Jihai shook the gourd in his hand, looked at Jiang Yuchuan, and asked, "Would you like some wine?"

Jiang Yuchuan raised an eyebrow and replied with a smile, "Of course."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's reply, Jiang Jihai's eyes lit up, and he turned around and shouted, "Waiter, please bring two clean cups!"

The waiter, who was cleaning up, was taken aback when he heard Jiang Jihai's shout. He then immediately looked at the shopkeeper for advice.

Having witnessed Jiang Jihai's power, the teahouse owner dared not utter a single word of dissent and quickly gave the waiter a wink.

The waiter understood, immediately put down his work, vigorously wiped his hands on his clothes, and replied:

"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go get you the cup right away!"

The waiter was very quick and soon brought over three very clean cups.

Jiang Jihai took the cup, twisted open the gourd, filled two cups with wine, one for himself and the other for Jiang Yuchuan.

The moment the gourd was twisted open, Qi Changqing felt a fragrant floral scent wafting towards him, followed by the crisp aroma unique to wine.

Looking at the wine poured into the glass, it was a pale lotus root pink color!

—It smells so sweet!

Qi Changqing's nostrils flared, and he couldn't help but swallow.

Jiang Jihai noticed Qi Changqing's expression, immediately turned his head, and asked with a smile, "How is this wine? Doesn't it smell very sweet?"

Qi Changqing nodded vigorously.

"What a pity, if you weren't too young, I really wanted you to try it." Jiang Jihai shook his head and sighed, "The taste of this wine is simply wonderful! Words simply cannot describe it!" After saying that, he winked at Qi Changqing and grinned.

Qi Changqing then realized that Jiang Jihai was deliberately making fun of him. He glared back angrily, then turned his head away, ate his snacks, and stopped looking at the other man and the wine in his hand.

Jiang Jihai withdrew his gaze, smiled, and raised his glass to Jiang Yuchuan.

"please!"

"please."

Jiang Yuchuan raised his wine glass in return, took a sip, savored it for a moment, and then asked, "Is this Baihuaxian, one of the four famous wines?"

"You actually know the Hundred Flower Fairy! Have you drunk it before?" Jiang Jihai perked up instantly.

Jiang Yuchuan shook his head and replied with a smile, "Although brewing wine with flowers is common, it is very rare to find a wine with such a long aftertaste, sweet but not cloying, and perfectly preserving the wine's own mellowness and strength. Apart from the legendary Hundred Flower Fairy, I'm afraid no other wine can achieve this."

"Excellent insight!" Jiang Jihai clapped his hands in approval, as if he had found a kindred spirit. "May I ask how I should address you?"

"Jiang Yuchuan."

"So it's Brother Yuchuan! My name is Jiang Jihai! Wait—Yuchuan—Jihai!" Jiang Jihai exclaimed, his eyes wide. "What a coincidence! It seems we were destined to meet here!"

"..."

Hearing these nauseating words, Qi Changqing almost choked on his pastry.

After gulping down a large cup of tea to suppress the snack in his mouth, Qi Changqing couldn't help but glance at Jiang Jihai, and then secretly looked at Jiang Yuchuan.

He was very curious about what the gentleman would think after hearing Jiang Jihai's nauseating words.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuchuan's expression remained unchanged, and no matter how Qi Changqing glanced at him, he couldn't glean any useful information.

This wasn't the first time this had happened. Qi Changqing felt a pang of regret while simultaneously marveling at Jiang Yuchuan's extraordinary composure.

The conversation between Jiang Yuchuan and Jiang Jihai that followed almost entirely revolved around alcohol. Qi Changqing listened with gritted teeth for more than half an hour, but he didn't hear a single thing that interested him.

After finishing all the snacks, Qi Changqing finally couldn't hold back any longer and lay down on the table with his arms as a pillow.

The rain had stopped and the sun was shining through the clouds, warming Qi Changqing's face.

Qi Changqing squinted his eyes, the clear and melodious birdsong reaching his ears, accompanied by the unique fragrance of the Hundred Flowers Fairy lingering around his nose, and soon felt drowsy and fell asleep.

Qi Changqing slept very comfortably, and when he woke up, he found that it was already dark.

Jiang Jihai had left at some point. At this moment, besides him and his master, only the waiter, who was sitting at the counter with his head propped up on his hand and dozing off, remained in the teahouse.

Qi Changqing scratched his head sheepishly and looked at Jiang Yuchuan, saying, "It's already so late! I didn't know I would sleep for so long. Why didn't you wake me up earlier, sir? This has caused quite a delay..."

"It's alright," Jiang Yuchuan said with a smile. "This place isn't far from Sheng'an City. At our pace, we can get there in ten days at most. There's no need to rush."

"When did that Young Master Jiang leave?" Qi Changqing asked with some curiosity.

"He left shortly after you fell asleep." Jiang Yuchuan glanced at Qi Changqing and smiled. "What? You still want to see him?"

"Not at all!"

Qi Changqing shook his head repeatedly.

Although that guy named Jiang Jihai was very skilled in martial arts, his temper was completely against his taste, so it was better to never see him again.

But no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than Jiang Yuchuan said:

“That young master Jiang does indeed have some connection with us. He will also be attending the birthday banquet I'm taking you to.”

"--ah?!"

Qi Changqing was immediately startled, "Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?"

He was just someone I met by chance in a teahouse. It was one thing that his name was somewhat similar to the gentleman's, but in the end, they even went to the same place!

Jiang Yuchuan smiled but didn't say anything.

They sat for a little while longer before leaving just before the teahouse closed.

It was already dark, and since they weren't in a hurry to continue their journey, Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing stayed at an inn in the town, planning to set off again early the next morning.

The stretch of road between Qiushui Town and Sheng'an City is almost entirely flat.

Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing arrived at Sheng'an City in just nine days.

Looking at the city in front of him, which was protected by a huge gray-white wall tens of feet high, Qi Changqing felt extremely shocked.

How much manpower and time must have been needed to build such a magnificent and vast capital city that stretches as far as the eye can see!

Besides Sheng'an City, which is right in front of us, there are actually four other huge cities like this in the Great Qian Dynasty!

Qi Changqing was filled with longing, wondering if he would ever have the chance to visit the remaining four cities!
