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

Hua Chengtian never expected that this teenager who secretly rescued Lu Xuan right under his nose would not only not run away after being discovered, but would also take the initiative to attack him with a sword. He immediately became interested.

"You little brat, aren't you afraid of death? Knowing you're no match for me, you still dare to charge at me. Aren't you afraid that in my anger, I'll kill you too?"

The voice coming from behind the human skin mask was that of a young man.

Qi Changqing's expression was serious, and he did not reply. He immediately unleashed his ultimate move, swinging his sword and creating seven sword shadows that pierced towards Hua Chengtian!

Hua Chengtian smiled as he looked at Qi Changqing's thrusting sword, then simply turned one arm behind his back and chose to fight with one hand.

This action immediately puzzled Qi Changqing, but the next moment his expression turned serious as he looked at Hua Chengtian's slowly outstretched hand.

This seemingly ordinary palm strike, upon contact with the sword light it had unleashed, suddenly surged with a large amount of dark purple true energy.

These dark purple true energies exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. The moment they appeared, they immediately corroded all of his sword light.

Qi Changqing dared not be careless in the slightest, and immediately changed his sword moves, withdrew his longsword, and switched to attacking from the bottom.

Hua Chengtian remained smiling, unhurried, letting Qi Changqing switch moves and attack him, and at crucial moments, he neutralized Qi Changqing's moves one by one.

Even if Qi Changqing was slow-witted, he would realize at this moment that the man in front of him was very familiar with the Seven Star Absolute Pulse Sword technique he was using. He was so familiar with it that he could guess which move it was as soon as he made a move!

Hua Chengtian looked at Qi Changqing, who had a shocked expression, and laughed, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be a disciple of Baiyun Temple. Who is your master? Is Lingzhan your senior brother?"

Qi Changqing continued his attack, angrily retorting, "I am not a disciple of Baiyun Temple! Nor do I know this Lingzhan you speak of!"

In his heart, he thought: This person not only inquired about Ling Zhan but also seemed so familiar with his sword moves. He must have fought with Ling Zhan quite a bit, and the two were very likely enemies! However, Qi Changqing did not consider the possibility that the two might be friends.

How could Ling Zhan, a disciple of a righteous sect, possibly become friends with an assassin?

Hearing Qi Changqing's answer, Hua Chengtian was not angry. He still smiled and said, "If you don't want to say, then don't. I can guess anyway." As he spoke, he glanced in the direction behind Qi Changqing. "Since you want to help that kid surnamed Lu, then I'll give you face. Just tell me your name, and I'll let you two leave. How about it?"

Qi Changqing hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Is what you're saying true?"

This person is clearly much stronger than me, yet he hasn't made a decisive move. It seems he doesn't really want Lu Xuan dead; otherwise, I would have had a hard time stopping him.

As for the claim of "saving face" for him, Qi Changqing didn't believe it. It was most likely just an excuse.

“Of course it’s true,” Hua Chengtian laughed. “I wouldn’t bother lying to a junior like you.”

"My surname is Qi, and my given name is Shan." Qi Changqing, quick-witted, said, "Alright, I've told you my name, you can go now!"

"Qishan..."

Hua Chengtian looked at Qi Changqing and revealed a playful smile: "The name is quite ordinary. I hope you're not lying to me. Otherwise, when we meet again, I won't let you leave so easily."

After saying that, he flashed away, turning into a purple afterimage, and flew towards the other side of the lake.

"I'd rather die than see you again!"

Seeing that the person had gone far away, Qi Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and returned the sword in his hand.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a group of people rushing toward him in the distance.

The group of people who rushed over were probably Lu Xuan's reinforcements.

His initial intention in saving the person wasn't for the reward, so there was no need to stay and get entangled with that group. Thinking about how much time he had wasted saving people, Qi Changqing immediately turned and ran back from the other direction.

On his way to the restaurant, Qi Changqing took out the hairpin from his pocket and checked it. After confirming that it was not damaged, he put it back without worry.

After returning to the restaurant, Qi Changqing calmed his breathing outside before gently pushing open the door and entering the room.

"I'm back, sir."

Qi Changqing looked somewhat guilty at Jiang Yuchuan, who was sitting under the candlelight reading a book.

Jiang Yuchuan put down his book, turned to look at Qi Changqing, and asked, "It's a little late, did something happen?"

Qi Changqing nodded: "We did encounter some trouble." He then recounted the details of releasing the animals to Jiang Yuchuan.

After listening, Jiang Yuchuan remained silent for a long time before asking, "You said the person you saved claimed to be Lu Xuan, the second young master of the Lu family?"

Qi Changqing replied, "That's right, that's what he said himself."

"The Lu residence..."

There shouldn't be another Lu family in Sheng'an City with such a reputation.

Therefore, Jiang Yuchuan guessed that the boy named Lu Xuan, who was rescued by Qi Changqing, was probably a member of Lu Jingchen's clan.

Seeing that Jiang Yuchuan did not blame him, Qi Changqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out the small wooden box containing the jade hairpin from his bosom, and handed it to Jiang Yuchuan.

"Sir, this is for you."

"For me?"

Jiang Yuchuan raised an eyebrow, took the wooden box with some curiosity, opened it, and found a jade-green hairpin inside.

However, in the next instant, Jiang Yuchuan sensed a trace of spiritual energy moving within this seemingly ordinary jade hairpin!

Where did you find this item?

Qi Changqing replied, "I bought it at a stall by the Emerald Lake. I don't know why, but this jade hairpin gives me a very special feeling, so I thought I'd buy it and give it to you, sir. I don't know if you'll like it..."

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and said gently, "This is a token of your appreciation, and I naturally like it."

"I'm glad you like it, sir!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's words, Qi Changqing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Not long after returning, Qi Changqing lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Yuchuan held the jade hairpin, stood by the window, slowly closed his eyes, and opened his divine sense.

Jiang Yuchuan's divine sense has now recovered to a level comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. Therefore, even if he cannot completely cover the entire Sheng'an City, he will not be far off.

After Jiang Yuchuan scanned most of Sheng'an City with his divine sense, he found nothing else that contained spiritual energy like the jade hairpin.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence..."

After the search yielded no results, Jiang Yuchuan withdrew his divine sense and stopped speculating and worrying.

Anyway, he has plenty of time. If there's anything strange about this world, he'll find out sooner or later.

Looking down at the jade hairpin in his hand, Jiang Yuchuan suddenly had an idea, so he immediately put the jade hairpin on and entered the spirit pearl.

This jade hairpin contains a flowing spiritual energy, so its material must be extraordinary.

If he soaks and nurtures the jade hairpin with spiritual spring water for a while longer, and then refines it, it might just become a magical artifact!
