Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 57 Visiting the Lu Residence
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Jingchen learned that the young hero who saved Lu Xuan was named Qi Changqing, who was only ten years old and was currently learning medicine from Jiang Yuchuan.
Although Jiang Yuchuan did not say it explicitly, Lu Jingchen already regarded Qi Changqing as Jiang Yuchuan's disciple.
After all, if he had only studied medicine, how could Qi Changqing have acquired such formidable skills at such a young age?
To welcome Jiang Yuchuan from afar and to express gratitude to Qi Changqing for saving Lu Xuan's life, Lu Jingchen, as the host, directly invited the two to Luoyan Tower.
Although they had just been there yesterday, the dishes at Luoyanlou were indeed delicious. Since someone was treating them this time, Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing naturally had no reason to refuse.
Upon learning of the arrival of distinguished guests, the manager of Luoyan Tower personally came out to greet them with a smile and led Lu Jingchen and his companions directly to room number one on the third floor.
The rooms on the third floor were indeed far superior to those on the second floor. Not only were they much more luxuriously decorated, but they also featured a rockery over ten feet high and a pool made of dark pebbles.
Lotus flowers float on the pond, and several plump koi carp swim and dart about in the water.
After the three of them sat down, Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Yuchuan and smiled:
"The dishes at Luoyanlou are among the best in Sheng'an City. However, I feel that their flavor is far inferior to that of yours, sir."
Jiang Yuchuan shook his head and chuckled after hearing this: "I only benefited from the ingredients. As for cooking skills, how can I compare to those master chefs who are well-versed in the art of cooking?"
Lu Jingchen smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he asked, "Do you and Junior Brother Changqing plan to stay in Sheng'an City for a while longer? After the Ancestor's birthday banquet, I can take you and Junior Brother Changqing to have some fun in the city."
Jiang Yuchuan smiled and politely declined, saying, "I appreciate your kindness. Changqing and I came out here to travel around and see more, and we don't plan to stay in one place for too long."
Lu Jingchen sighed inwardly in regret, but didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile:
"By the way, there's something you might not know, sir. A few months ago, the story of the immortal's blessing, which originated in Qingyang Town, has become extremely popular in Sheng'an City. Whenever a storyteller in a teahouse tells this story, the place is always packed."
"Moreover, among the many teahouses in Sheng'an City, each storyteller tells a different story, with Guangyuan Teahouse's 'If I Were the Green Emperor in the Future' being the most popular. If you and Junior Brother Changqing are interested, I can find some time to reserve a table."
“That’s interesting,” Jiang Yuchuan said with some surprise. “I didn’t expect that such a distorted story would have spread all the way here and still be so popular after so long.”
Qi Changqing nodded in deep agreement.
Along the way, he visited many teahouses with Jiang Yuchuan, and naturally heard several different versions of the story of the immortals bestowing blessings.
As a witness to and participant in this event, Qi Changqing knew that the blessing from the immortals was far less exaggerated than described in the stories.
For this reason, this popular story lost its most crucial layer of mystery in Qi Changqing's mind from the very beginning, which made him feel very awkward when listening to the story, to the point that he lost interest in it.
But Lu Jingchen was unaware of these things. He remained curious about the blessing bestowed by the immortals, and since Jiang Yuchuan was present today, he asked directly:
"Sir, do you know what this blessing from the immortals is all about? I've heard about it so many times that I can't help but be a little curious."
Jiang Yuchuan shook his head and said, "I'm not entirely clear about this matter either. I was out on business at the time and wasn't in town. If you want to know the specifics, you can ask Changqing."
"Junior Brother Changqing?"
Lu Jingchen looked at Qi Changqing with a curious expression.
Qi Changqing hadn't expected Jiang Yuchuan to throw this question at him. He coughed lightly, gathered his thoughts, and then told Lu Jingchen what he had witnessed.
Because Qi Changqing's account was very objective, without any embellishment or exaggeration, Lu Jingchen fell silent after listening to it.
Fortunately, at that moment, the steward announced the serving of dishes from outside the door, which broke the slightly awkward atmosphere inside.
After the food and drinks were served, Lu Jingchen stopped mentioning the matter and enthusiastically started talking about other topics.
The three of them ate and chatted for almost an hour before it ended.
After leaving Luoyan Tower, Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing did not return to their lodgings. Instead, at Lu Jingchen's warm invitation, they went to the Lu residence together.
Prior to this, Lu Jingchen had already sent someone to inform them that Jiang Yuchuan would be visiting the mansion with Lu Xuan's savior.
Upon receiving the notification, Lu Songlin immediately ordered his men to prepare two superior guest rooms and gathered all the servants and stewards in the mansion to inform them of the matter, lest any of them be rude to the distinguished guest.
The reason why Lu Jingchen was able to undergo such a complete transformation was no secret among the Lu family's upper echelons. Therefore, whether it was Lu Songlin, Lu Xuan, or Lu Changfeng, they all knew how formidable this upcoming distinguished guest, Mr. Jiang, was.
The fact that the young hero who saved Lu Xuan's life was able to come with this Mr. Jiang was undoubtedly a good thing for the Lu family.
Therefore, while tidying up the guest rooms, Lu Songlin instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner in advance to welcome the two distinguished guests.
The Lu residence is located in the east of Sheng'an City, while Luoyan Tower is near the south of the city. The distance between the two is not close, so Lu Jingchen specially hired a carriage on the way back.
Around 1:00 PM, a servant who was looking out of the Lu residence saw a carriage slowly approaching. He immediately turned around and ran back into the residence to report the matter to Lu Xuan and the others who were sitting in the main hall waiting.
Upon hearing the servant's report, Lu Xuan immediately stood up and, together with Lu Songlin, Lu Changfeng, and several stewards from the manor, went out to greet them.
Since Lu Xuan and the others had already learned from Lu Jingchen that the Mr. Jiang who had given them this opportunity looked very young, they did not show much surprise when they met him in person.
However, they were truly shocked by Lu Xuan's savior, Qi Changqing.
They had assumed that the young hero who rescued Lu Xuan from the assassins was at least fifteen or sixteen years old, but they never expected him to be so young!
To possess such remarkable skills at such a young age, her natural talent and aptitude are definitely no less than that of Lu Jingchen after his transformation.
It seems that this young hero named Qi Changqing, as long as he doesn't perish along the way, is very likely to become a grandmaster in the future!
The fact that such a young genius was so close to and respectful to Mr. Jiang made Lu Xuan reassess Jiang Yuchuan's strength.
Because martial arts prodigies like Qi Changqing are extremely rare, even in the entire world, and it's possible that only one like him might appear every few hundred years.
Lu Xuan even suspected that Qi Changqing, like Lu Jingchen, had also drunk that mysterious tea that could transform a person completely.
If my guess is true, then has Jiang Yuchuan himself, who brought out the mysterious tea, actually drunk it?
Or perhaps Jiang Yuchuan had already consumed a treasure with even more miraculous effects than the mysterious tea, which rendered the tea ineffective against him, thus leading him to bestow it upon Lu Jingchen and Qi Changqing...
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
Otherwise, someone would be too busy enjoying such an extraordinary treasure themselves to easily give it away to others!
Therefore, the smiling Mr. Jiang standing in front of him at this moment is very likely a powerful and unfathomable figure!
If we think even more boldly, he might be a hidden master unknown to the world!
The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders!
Lu Xuan dared not think any further. He immediately suppressed his shock, put on a smile, and invited Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing into the mansion.
