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

The morning light is dim.

Jiang Yuchuan got up early and went to the courtyard.

A cool breeze caressed his face. After a night's rest, Jiang Yuchuan, feeling incredibly relaxed, slowly closed his eyes and unknowingly entered a very mysterious state.

Children playing and laughing, vendors shouting as they cross the street, families chatting and laughing amidst their busy lives, the occasional barking of dogs and crowing of roosters—a vibrant and lively scene unfolds slowly in Jiang Yuchuan's perception.

The sparse spiritual energy that drifted between heaven and earth slowly gathered and swirled above the courtyard.

After a long while, Jiang Yuchuan opened his eyes, his excitement beyond words!

The realm that had been stagnant for so long finally began to loosen at this moment!

Jiang Yuchuan never expected that he would enter a state of enlightenment in this state, and he never expected that he would be able to break through to the mid-stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining in this spiritually sparse outside world because of an enlightenment!

The spiritual energy lingering above the courtyard had not yet dissipated when Jiang Yuchuan noticed that a very small portion of it was slowly drifting toward the dying peach tree.

Upon closer inspection, the peach tree now seemed to have gained a new lease on life. The leaves, which had been curled up and limp, had become much more relaxed and upright, and some branches even had tiny green shoots sprouting.

"It's interesting."

Jiang Yuchuan walked over to the peach tree, stretched out his finger, and gently touched the trunk, infusing it with a wisp of pure spiritual energy.

"How much you can absorb depends on your own fortune."

After leaving the courtyard and locking the door, Jiang Yuchuan walked towards the busiest street in town.

Strolling among the bustling crowd, the aromas of various foods, along with the billowing steam, eagerly wafted into Jiang Yuchuan's nose.

Jiang Yuchuan's nostrils twitched, and his pace gradually slowed down until he finally stopped in front of a very popular noodle stall.

After eating three bowls of braised noodles, Jiang Yuchuan finally got up and left, satisfied.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Yuchuan spent more than an hour visiting several shops, where he had several sets of blue robes made for himself, purchased a large number of books, and bought many daily necessities such as pillows and quilts.

Because he had bought so many things, Jiang Yuchuan didn't take them back himself. Instead, he paid an extra few dozen coins to have the shop assistant deliver them to his home.

Seeing that it was almost noon and he had bought most of what he wanted, Jiang Yuchuan stopped shopping and bought some fresh ingredients on his way back before returning to the courtyard.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people.

Since he intends to experience the life of an ordinary person, he must include all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Cooking a delicious meal by himself was Jiang Yuchuan's second attempt besides sleeping.

After half a day of investigation, he discovered that cooking is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but rather involves a great deal of knowledge.

The control of heat, the processing of different ingredients and the order in which they are added to the pot, the amount of seasonings and the timing of their addition, etc., are all very important. Any mistake in any of these aspects can affect the final taste of the food.

From this perspective, cooking and alchemy seem to have many similarities. However, alchemy is more rigorous than cooking.

Since alchemy is his forte, cooking should not be a problem for him either.

With his superb divine sense, he had observed the chefs in various restaurants, inns and taverns cooking while he was out shopping, and he had deeply imprinted all the cooking skills they displayed into his mind.

Upon returning home, Jiang Yuchuan went straight to the kitchen, cleaned and prepared all the purchased ingredients, and then took out half a bucket of spiritual spring water from his spiritual pearl. After diluting the spiritual spring water with clean water, he immediately soaked the ingredients in it.

Spring water can further enhance the flavor of ingredients and also has many health benefits.

Of course, that tiny bit of benefit was completely dispensable to Jiang Yuchuan. What he wanted was simply a superior taste.

Before long, the items Jiang Yuchuan had selected were delivered one after another.

After tidying everything up, Jiang Yuchuan rolled up his sleeves and went back into the kitchen to begin his first cooking session.

Chopping vegetables, lighting the fire, heating the oil, stir-frying—Jiang Yuchuan went through the entire process without the slightest awkwardness, like a seasoned and experienced chef. The entire kitchen was firmly under his control.

Just as Jiang Yuchuan was busily tossing and turning the wok, Lu Jingchen walked towards the courtyard with a cheerful yet somewhat nervous gait.

As soon as I reached the courtyard gate, an enticing aroma wafted towards me.

"—It smells so good!"

Lu Jingchen took a deep breath, his mouth instantly watering, and he couldn't help but swallow.

"Is the senior cooking himself?"

Upon hearing the faint sounds of pots and pans clattering coming from the courtyard, Lu Jingchen was instantly deeply moved.

Such a highly accomplished person as his senior actually cooked for him personally!

What merit or ability does Lu Jingchen possess?!

The more Lu Jingchen thought about it, the more moved he became. He stood there in a daze, his hand, which was about to knock on the door, stopped in mid-air.

Jiang Yuchuan had sensed Lu Jingchen's arrival long ago, but he ignored him because the food in the pot was not yet finished.

Only after the last dish was cooked, and seeing Lu Jingchen still standing motionless outside the door, did Jiang Yuchuan call out towards the door:

"Now that you're here, why aren't you coming in? Do I have to go and invite you myself?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's voice coming from the courtyard, Lu Jingchen instantly snapped back to reality.

Realizing his actions were rather impolite and embarrassing, Lu Jingchen felt a pang of awkwardness. He immediately pushed open the door and went inside, bowing to Jiang Yuchuan while loudly proclaiming:

"Senior, I am truly sorry! My rudeness at the gate was my fault. Please punish me!"

Jiang Yuchuan's lips twitched.

What is this?

I have no idea what's going on in this kid's head all day.

"Why would I punish you? Alright, stop standing there and come with me to bring the dishes out."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's instructions, Lu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately got up to take action.

"Senior, I'll take care of everything. Please sit down and rest."

Jiang Yuchuan didn't refuse and sat down directly under the peach tree.

While swallowing his saliva, Lu Jingchen carefully brought out the dishes from the kitchen one by one.

Jiang Yuchuan prepared a total of six dishes: two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and one soup.

Looking at the table full of delicious-looking dishes, all made by himself, Jiang Yuchuan nodded with great satisfaction.

"Please sit down, don't be shy. The food should be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it will taste different."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen sat down properly opposite Jiang Yuchuan.

Seeing that Lu Jingchen hesitated to eat, Jiang Yuchuan guessed what he was thinking. Without saying anything, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Sure enough, after seeing Jiang Yuchuan take the first bite, Lu Jingchen reached out his hand, picked up his chopsticks, and very reservedly took a small piece of green vegetable.

Before he could even chew, the fresh aroma of the vegetables, released by the oil, exploded in his mouth.

Without exaggeration, Lu Jingchen felt that all the delicacies he had ever eaten before paled in comparison to this small piece of green vegetable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were worlds apart!

As Lu Jingchen chewed, tears streamed down his face.

"It's so...real...and so delicious!!"

"If it's delicious, eat more. Why are you crying? I'm not going to take it from you."

Jiang Yuchuan was speechless.

He felt a pang of regret for saving the boy back then.

There's no other reason than that this kid sometimes acts too foolishly! It's completely incongruous with his handsome little face.

"This junior...this junior is just...just too moved!" Lu Jingchen chuckled foolishly, "Senior has been so kind to this junior, this junior truly has no way to repay you—"

"Stop right there!" Jiang Yuchuan immediately waved his hand to interrupt. "No talking while eating, that's my rule, understand?"

If he doesn't stop him, this kid might come up with some outrageous remarks.

Lu Jingchen nodded frantically, no longer making a sound, and devoted himself entirely to the great task of cooking.
