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

As Qi Changqing entered the city, he was immediately captivated by the bustling scene before him.

The streets beneath his feet were wide and clean, lined with rows of shops, each grandly and beautifully decorated. Even the endless stream of pedestrians around him were dressed in bright and exquisite attire, leaving Qi Changqing dazzled by the sight.

Although it was also Jiang Yuchuan's first time in Sheng'an City, he appeared much more unassuming than Qi Changqing.

In his previous life in the cultivation world, he had seen all sorts of grand scenes, so naturally he wouldn't be shocked by this small mortal city.

After entering Sheng'an City, Jiang Yuchuan did not immediately take Qi Changqing to find Lu Jingchen, but instead found a restaurant in the city to stay at first.

With more than ten days to go before the birthday banquet date written on the invitation, Jiang Yuchuan planned to take his time to explore the city and enjoy himself for a few more days before visiting the Lu residence.

After arriving at their hotel room and putting away their luggage, Jiang Yuchuan led Qi Changqing to Luoyan Tower after asking around along the way.

He had heard many people mention the reputation of "Sheng'an's No. 1 Building" on his way here.

Now that he has this opportunity, he is determined to have a good look at the famous Luoyan Tower and see if it truly lives up to its reputation.

When Jiang Yuchuan and his companion arrived at Luoyanlou, it was already noon, and the first floor was already packed with diners.

After some questioning, Jiang Yuchuan learned from the shop assistant that there was a private room available on the second floor. However, the private room on the second floor was not comparable to the regular seats on the first floor and required an additional fee.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't care about this. Money was just an external thing. He simply waved his hand and reserved the only remaining elegant room for fifteen taels of silver.

Seeing Jiang Yuchuan's decisive and generous spending, the shop assistant immediately put on an even warmer smile and led Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing to the second floor.

With the help of the shop assistant, Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing learned that Luoyan Tower has four floors: the first and second floors are open to all, regardless of status, as long as you have money; but the third and fourth floors cannot be accessed by money alone, you must have a certain status and position.

Especially the fourth floor; in the entire city of Sheng'an, no more than a handful of people could actually climb it!

Qi Changqing's eyes were practically glued to the shopkeeper from the moment he started introducing the place.

As a simple, honest boy from a village, he had never heard of such things. What he saw and heard at this moment, and the place he was in, was like another world to him.

For a moment, Qi Changqing felt as if he were living in a dream, light and ethereal, and extremely unreal.

If Jiang Yuchuan hadn't been there, he would have had the urge to run away immediately.

Jiang Yuchuan seemed to sense the unease rising in Qi Changqing's heart, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head.

Qi Changqing felt a cool breeze coming from the top of his head, which instantly calmed his mind.

"I'm alright, sir."

Qi Changqing raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and gave Jiang Yuchuan a big smile.

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and said, "It's rare to come to such a nice place, so you should eat more later."

"Don't worry!" Qi Changqing patted his belly proudly. "My appetite will definitely not disappoint you, sir!"

The waiter thought Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing were just joking, but when they ordered, he was shocked to find that the two of them had actually been serious about what they had said earlier!

The two of them ordered a whopping eighteen dishes!

It even includes a whole crispy suckling pig!

In all his years in the industry, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation; it was simply outrageous!

How many days have these two been starving?!

The waiter, looking shocked, left the private room with his head full of dish names and ran to the kitchen. He was afraid that if he was even a second late, those eighteen dish names would escape from his mind.

Jiang Yuchuan originally planned to order a pot of Shili Zhuangyuanhong wine, but unfortunately, in addition to being ridiculously expensive, this wine was also limited in quantity and time, available only for ten days a month, and each table of individual customers could only order one pot.

This made Jiang Yuchuan suddenly recall the eight large jars of Shili Zhuangyuanhong wine that were currently placed in the kitchen of the small courtyard, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He never expected that Lu Jingchen, who seemed not very bright, would have such ability to give him so much of such rare and precious wine at once.

Judging from this, the Lu family's status in Sheng'an City should be even higher than he had expected.

If that's the case, then the congratulatory gift he prepared beforehand is probably not quite appropriate; giving it out would be somewhat embarrassing for him.

Jiang Yuchuan thought about it and decided that he should still send the pills.

Anyway, he had several hundred pills piled up in the Spirit Pearl for cultivation and practice, most of which were useless to him and could be given away.

Of course, the elixirs given to mortals should not be those with exaggerated effects, lest they cause unnecessary trouble.

Lu Jingchen once told him that the Lu family had practiced martial arts for generations, so he should send them healing pills instead.

I'll find a shop in the city later, buy an elegant bottle, put the selected pills in it, and that'll be the birthday gift sorted out.

Soon, the waiter led several maids in and brought in the eighteen dishes that Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing had ordered.

The two enjoyed their lunch immensely.

Especially for Qi Changqing, this was the first time in his life that he had eaten so many dishes in one meal, and they were all delicious and beautifully presented. There were many ingredients in them that he had never even heard of before.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two left Luoyan Tower.

Although the two were very satisfied with the meal, the amount of money spent was enough to cover all their food, clothing, lodging, transportation, entertainment, and other expenses along the way.

After this meal, Jiang Yuchuan had less than fifty taels of silver left on him.

Jiang Yuchuan wasn't worried about money. Whether it was the pills piled up in the spirit pearl or the medicinal herbs grown in the herb field, he could easily sell some of them for a considerable price.

Moreover, they have already arrived in Sheng'an City and will be staying at the Lu residence in a few days, so there is nowhere they need to spend too much money.

After returning to their room at the inn, Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing sat cross-legged on their respective beds and began cultivating.

This spacious room features two carved wooden beds with canopies. The beds are placed to the east and west, with a large landscape screen separating them.

During the nearly two-month journey, Jiang Yuchuan would cultivate with Qi Changqing almost every night.

The thin spiritual energy outside had absolutely no effect on increasing Jiang Yuchuan's cultivation level, who was already at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, when he closes his eyes and sits cross-legged, it is more accurate to say that he is meditating rather than practicing cultivation.

Only when Qi Changqing is fast asleep will he enter the Spirit Pearl to absorb spiritual energy and truly cultivate the "Azure Origin Creation Technique".

Although Jiang Yuchuan had less time for cultivation after leaving Qingyang Town, the spiritual pearl underwent a transformation after his breakthrough, making its spiritual energy much richer. This meant that his cultivation progress was not much slower than before.
