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

To welcome Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing, Xuanxi personally picked some fresh vegetables from her garden and cooked a table of dishes.

"These vegetables were all carefully tended and grown by me, sir. Please try them and see how they taste."

Xuanxi smiled and filled Jiang Yuchuan's glass with wine.

Jiang Yuchuan picked up his chopsticks, casually took a piece and put it in his mouth. After savoring it, he nodded and praised, "Not bad. I didn't expect the Taoist priest to be so good at growing vegetables."

Xuanxi smiled smugly, "Not at all, not at all. I was just doing it casually out of boredom. I'm glad you like it, sir."

After eating for a while, Xuanxi looked at Qi Changqing and asked with a smile, "Little Changqing, you and your teacher have been traveling for so long. What do you think of the outside world? Have you encountered anything interesting or novel?"

Upon hearing Xuanxi's question, Qi Changqing quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and, with shining eyes, began to tell Xuanxi and Lingzhan, who was sitting next to him, about his experiences along the way and some things he had gone through with Jiang Yuchuan.

At first, Xuanxi and Lingzhan listened with great interest, but later, when Qi Changqing talked about some things that happened in Sheng'an City at the Lu family's birthday banquet, their expressions gradually became serious.

Especially after hearing about the activities of the Tianyi Sect, Ling Zhan even put down his chopsticks.

"But what did I say wrong?"

Qi Changqing noticed that the atmosphere at the table was a bit off, so he immediately stopped talking, looked at Xuan Xi and Ling Zhan, and then glanced at Jiang Yuchuan.

Xuanxi coughed lightly and explained, "Xiao Changqing didn't say anything wrong. It's just that something happened in the temple, which is also related to the Tianyi Sect."

After Xuanxi's explanation, Qi Changqing learned that the current abbot of Baiyun Temple, who was also Lingzhan's master, Master Jingwei, had recently received a secret letter from Xuanjian Pavilion.

The secret letter stated that the Tianyi Sect had secretly infiltrated the Great Qian Dynasty many years ago and had secretly turned several martial arts sects within the Great Qian Dynasty against their will, seemingly brewing some huge conspiracy.

Upon receiving the letter, Master Jingwei immediately set off for the Suspended Sword Pavilion.

Not only Baiyun Temple, but the same secret letter was also sent to Qianjimen and Dafosi Temple.

The fact that all four major sects gathered demonstrates the importance they attach to this matter.

Although Qi Changqing was not entirely clear about the intricacies of the situation, he had a sense of awe and foreboding, as if a storm was brewing.

Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing settled down at Baiyun Temple.

In order to allow Qi Changqing to interact with more people, Jiang Yuchuan did not let him live with him on the mountaintop, but instead had Lingzhan take him to live with the young disciples of the temple.

After settling Qi Changqing in, Jiang Yuchuan, led by Xuan Xi, entered the library.

Logically speaking, the library is a very important place in the temple. Not only outsiders, but even the disciples of the temple cannot enter at will.

However, Xuanxi's seniority was too great, and the disciples guarding the Scripture Pavilion did not dare to say a word against their ancestor. Therefore, they could only pretend not to see and let Xuanxi bring the outsider Jiang Yuchuan freely in and out of the Scripture Pavilion.

After entering the library, Jiang Yuchuan spent only two days browsing through all the ancient books in the collection.

Jiang Yuchuan finally found the information he was looking for in a handwritten notebook left by the founder of Baiyun Temple.

According to the records, thousands of years ago, there were two places in this world that were closely related to immortals, and more than one or two people witnessed them.

The first place is called Burial Valley of Immortals, located right on the border of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It is said that thousands of years ago, many people witnessed the Burial Valley emitting a dazzling light and a deafening roar.

Strangely, after these strange phenomena ended, some daring martial artists secretly went to the valley to investigate and found that there was nothing unusual in the valley. Not even a single flower or blade of grass showed any signs of damage. The earth-shattering noise and the flashing light seemed like an illusion.

Just when everyone thought so, not long after, the same strange phenomenon reappeared in the Burial Immortal Valley, and after that, the phenomenon would occur every once in a while.

The only difference is that, as time goes by, the duration of these two strange phenomena in the valley becomes shorter and shorter, and the noise becomes weaker and weaker, until one day they disappear completely.

The strange phenomenon of Burial Valley, which has lasted for so long and has been witnessed by countless people, cannot be faked and cannot be explained by common sense. Therefore, it can only be attributed to the legends of immortals and gods.

The most widespread and accepted explanation is that a deity was sealed within the valley, and the strange lights and sounds were caused by the deity's attempt to break the seal. Ultimately, the deity failed to break the seal and perished, so the strange phenomena in the valley disappeared along with it. The Valley of Burial Immortals derives its name from this.

The second place where people have witnessed something related to immortals is Fangzhang Island. Because it is located in the Wuhui Sea, not as many people have seen it as in the Burial Valley.

The Wuhui Sea is the largest sea area on this continent, bordering the Daqian, Dayong, and Dali kingdoms, and its size is much larger than all three kingdoms combined.

One can imagine that even an ordinary island located in such a vast and boundless sea would be extremely difficult to find if one deliberately sought it out, let alone a fairy island that appears and disappears from view!

The notes don't contain many records related to Fangzhang Island, so Jiang Yuchuan only knows that Fangzhang Island appears without any pattern or exact location. When it appears, a white mist rises from the surrounding sea, and people can only see the general outline of Fangzhang Island in the mist and the colorful glow that lingers above the island.

Whether anyone actually boarded the ship is not mentioned in the notes, because all the ships that tried to get close to it eventually got lost in the white fog.

If the records in the notes are true, Jiang Yuchuan guessed that there were very likely cultivators in these two places.

After all, it is not difficult for cultivators to create such phenomena.

However, Jiang Yuchuan wouldn't draw a conclusion just by reading these words. He had to personally go and investigate in person before he could feel at ease.

Considering factors such as time and geographical location, Jiang Yuchuan decided to first go to the Burial Immortal Valley, which had a definite location record and was the closest to him, located within the territory of Daqian.

This trip is very likely to involve various methods related to cultivators, so Jiang Yuchuan decided to go alone and temporarily settle Qi Changqing in Baiyun Temple.

Without delay, after arranging everything, Jiang Yuchuan set off from Baiyun Temple early the next morning, speeding towards the Burial Immortal Valley.
