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

Hearing the greetings from outside, Lu Xuan was overjoyed and quickly got up to open the door.

"Senior Weng, please come in quickly!"

Weng Ji strode into the study, took out a beautifully carved stone inkstone from his robes, handed it to Lu Xuan, and said with a smile:

"I originally planned to come before your birthday, but I encountered some trouble on the way and was delayed. This inkstone is something I obtained when I traveled to Dali a few years ago. It is of no use to me, so I will give it to you as a birthday gift."

As Lu Xuan accepted the inkstone, he thanked him and then asked, "Senior, you arrived so quickly. Were you perhaps already near Sheng'an City?"

Weng Ji nodded: "That's right! I did linger in this area for some time. After receiving your message by carrier pigeon, I immediately set off for here." Then his expression turned serious: "Is it true that remnants of the Tianyi Sect have appeared in the city, as you mentioned in your letter?"

"Absolutely true!"

Lu Xuan replied solemnly. He then recounted to Weng Ji the events that had occurred in the woods a few days prior, including the ambush at Bixuewu.

Upon hearing this, Weng Ji was immediately enraged: "These beasts are truly incorrigible! They still dream of restoring the religious order!"

"These demonic cult members have been appearing frequently recently. Is it related to His Majesty's illness?" Lu Xuan asked.

Weng Jing shook his head and said in a deep voice, "What they fear is not who sits on the throne, but the one in the Imperial Household Department."

"Senior refers to Li Chengyin, the Imperial Envoy?!" Lu Xuan was startled. "Could it be that something has happened to Imperial Envoy Li?"

Li Chengyin was the younger brother of the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, the founder of the Imperial Academy, the ancestor of the current emperor Li Yanqing, and the universally recognized number one martial arts master in the world.

It can be said that Li Chengyin played a crucial role in enabling the Daqian Dynasty to achieve its current status.

Weng Ji sighed, "Li Chengyin has lived for over 170 years and is already nearing the end of his life as a Grandmaster. In addition, his years of conquering new territories and fighting battles have left him with countless hidden injuries. He has been able to live to this day entirely thanks to his quiet recuperation and the sustenance provided by elixirs."

"If he hadn't been fighting with all his might to try and break through the legendary Innate Realm, he might have been able to hold on for a while longer, but now—"

Weng Ji shook his head with a regretful expression and didn't continue.

"No wonder..."

Lu Xuan quickly realized something was amiss. "But this matter is of great importance and should be considered an absolute secret within the palace. How did the Tianyi Sect find out?"

"There are no secrets that stay hidden forever," Weng Ji sneered. "Besides, the palace these days is no different from a sieve with holes; what secrets can it possibly keep!"

Lu Xuan recalled the various rumors he had heard before and suddenly realized, "Could it be that when Master Wan went to the palace some time ago, it wasn't entirely for the Emperor's treatment, but rather for the sake of Consort Li?!"

"good."

"And what was the result? Do you know, senior?"

Weng Ji shook his head: "In a situation like Li Chengyin's, even a god descending to earth would be helpless."

"Wouldn't the world soon descend into chaos?"

The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If Li Chengyin and Li Yanqing were to fall one after another, the Great Qian Dynasty would lose two crucial figures.

Especially Li Chengyin, who can be described as a god of peace in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Once the news of his demise spreads, in addition to the restless sects in the martial arts world, the two kingdoms of Dayong and Dali will surely take action.

At that time, it will be difficult for the world not to fall into chaos!

"The course of events is beyond human control!" Weng Ji sighed. "All we can do is prepare as much as possible before this trend arrives and protect ourselves."

While grandmasters are powerful, they are still no match for the overwhelming force of the times.

In times of chaos, the number of Grandmaster-level experts who die is no less than a handful! Therefore, Weng Ji did not want to get involved, even though the chaotic world was full of tempting opportunities.

Similarly, he hoped that the Lu family would not be tempted by the appearances of a chaotic world, blinded by their own illusions, and thus sink deeper and deeper into ruin.

Lu Xuan was not an ambitious person, but forced by circumstances, he and the Lu family had no way to retreat. All they could do was follow the Third Prince to the end.

Weng Ji knew that the Lu family had already sided with the Third Prince, so he didn't voice his thoughts.

Out of consideration for his deceased old friend, if the Lu family were to truly face annihilation, he would secretly intervene to help the Lu family preserve its bloodline.

Lu Xuan suddenly thought of something, immediately turned around and walked to the bookshelf, took out a porcelain bottle from a brocade box and handed it to Weng Ji.

"Senior, this bottle contains a healing pill called the Returning Dew Pill, which was given to you by a master. You might as well try it; it may help with your old injuries."

"Returning Dew Pill?"

Weng Ji had never heard of such a pill, but he still accepted the porcelain bottle handed to him by Lu Xuan, opened it, and poured out one pill.

The pill was about the size of a fingernail, pale yellow in color, and felt slightly cool to the touch when held in the palm of the hand. It had no odor whatsoever.

Although Weng Ji was not a medical practitioner, with nearly a hundred years of experience in the martial arts world, he could tell that the quality and grade of this pill were quite good.

The person who refined this elixir must be considered a master of medicine.

But he still didn't have much hope for the elixir.

After all, the old wounds on his body were caused decades ago during the great war between the righteous and the demonic, when he was ambushed by a Dharma King of the Tianyi Sect using demonic techniques.

That demonic art contained a very troublesome and insidious power.

Decades have passed, and he has searched for renowned doctors all over the world and tried various methods, but he has never been able to remove the insidious poison that lingers in his body, like a bone-deep carbuncle, constantly eroding his internal organs and meridians.

In order not to disappoint Lu Xuan's kindness, Weng Ji swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Although he didn't think Ludan would be of much help to his old injury, he figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

After the pill entered his stomach, Weng Ji slowly activated his internal energy to dissolve it.

Standing to the side, Lu Xuan stared intently at Weng Ji's expression and actions.

Although he had full confidence in the Rejuvenating Pill that Jiang Yuchuan had personally refined, he still couldn't help but feel nervous after seeing Weng Ji swallow the pill.

A moment later, Weng Ji suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with disbelief!

"How are you feeling, senior? Did Ludan work this time?"

Sensing the strong aura emanating from Weng Ji, Lu Xuan quickly asked.

"It's not just effective, it's practically tailor-made for me!"

Before Weng Ji's shock had subsided, he immediately turned to Lu Xuan and asked excitedly, "Brother Lu, where is that expert you spoke of now? Could you introduce me to him?"

Seeing that the pills were effective against Weng Ji, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Weng Ji inquire about Jiang Yuchuan, he hesitated before speaking:

"It's not that I intentionally wanted to hide it from you, senior, but that master has already left, and I don't know where he is now."

"That's a pity."

Weng Ji sighed with slight disappointment.

This time, Ludan's effect far exceeded his expectations.

After taking just one pill, he could clearly feel that much of the insidious poison attached to his body had been eliminated!

To achieve such incredible effects with just one pill, this person's alchemy skills are definitely superior to those of the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Medicines Valley!

He had been wandering the world for nearly a century, yet he was unaware of the existence of such a formidable figure. This truly exemplifies the old saying, "There are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens."

It's a pity that he couldn't befriend such a remarkable person right away.

Although Lu Xuan did not know where Jiang Yuchuan was now, he knew where he was going, so he spoke up:

"Senior need not be disappointed. That master is low-key and prefers peace and quiet, so it is normal that we cannot find his whereabouts for the time being. However, before he left, he said that he would go to see him when the Sword Trial Tournament is held next year. If you would like to get to know that master, you might as well wait until next year to go to Wanren Peak."

"Sword Testing Tournament..."

Weng Ji nodded and smiled, "Very well! I haven't seen that kid Chu Yunzheng for many years. I'll take this opportunity to pay him a visit and see if his cultivation has improved."

Having found a way to completely heal the old wound, Weng Ji was in high spirits. He chatted with Lu Xuan for a long time before taking his leave.

Before Weng Ji left, Lu Xuan wanted to give him all the Rejuvenating Pills he had, but Weng Ji declined.

Finally, at Lu Xuan's insistence, Weng Ji, unable to refuse his kind offer, reached out and took four.

Based on his estimation, these four pills, plus the one he had taken himself, would be enough to completely eradicate the Yin poison power in his body.

However, he had been corrupted by this power for many years, and even if it were completely eradicated, the damage to his internal organs and meridians would not be so easy to recover.

That's why he wanted to find Jiang Yuchuan and ask him to treat him again.
