Martial Arts: Starting With Immortal Cultivation, the Female Warriors Are All Broken

Chapter 54 Wuhu! I’m Flying!

“Master, are we heading straight back to Snow Moon City now?”

As they left Medicine King Valley and sealed the entrance, Hua Jin turned to Jiang Che and asked obediently.

“No, we’re heading to Beauty Manor first,” Jiang Che shook his head.

“Beauty Manor? Master, are you going there to gamble?”

Hua Jin tilted her small head, her curious gaze fixed on Jiang Che. She never expected her seemingly ethereal and aloof master to have an interest in gambling. In her mind, someone like Jiang Che, a transcendent figure, should treat money as mere dust.

“No, we’re going to save the life of a disciple from Snow Moon City.” Jiang Che explained briefly, then grabbed Hua Jin’s delicate, soft hand.

In Hua Jin’s astonished eyes, their figures soared through the air, finally landing on a cloud.

Recovering from her shock, Hua Jin looked down at the breathtaking landscapes passing beneath her, utterly stunned.

This scene shattered her understanding of the world.

How can a person stand on clouds?

Over the years, following Xin Baicao, Hua Jin had traveled extensively across Beili, encountering Numerous martial arts masters. Her experiences gave her a fair amount of knowledge.

However, even the legendary masters at the Heavenly Realm level couldn’t stand on clouds.

Though Heavenly Realm cultivators could hover at great heights briefly, sustaining such altitudes consumed significant amounts of energy. Most could only fly a hundred meters before resorting to using their martial arts skills for movement.

What Jiang Che demonstrated—effortlessly standing on clouds—was something Hua Jin had never seen before.

“Master, are you an immortal?”

Regaining her composure, Hua Jin clung to Jiang Che’s arm, her milky-white face flushed with excitement. Her big, bright eyes sparkled with undisguised enthusiasm.

“I’m merely a cultivator, not yet an immortal,” Jiang Che replied calmly.

“A cultivator? That’s still incredible!”

“Master, can you teach me how to practice immortal arts?” Hua Jin clung to Jiang Che’s arm, shaking it as she pleaded coquettishly.

“Sure, but only when you reach the Grandmaster level,” Jiang Che said with a faint smile.

“Deal! Master, you can’t break your promise!” Hua Jin stretched out her small, smooth pinky finger.

“All right, I promise,” Jiang Che said with a wry smile, finding his new disciple’s antics both amusing and endearing. He hooked his pinky with hers.

“Pinky promise, no going back for a hundred years. If you do, you’re a little dog!” Hua Jin chanted happily.

With that, she finally released Jiang Che’s hand, satisfied.

“Master, can we fly a bit higher?”

“Of course…”

“Woohoo, I’m flying!”

…

Meanwhile, Tang Lian escorted a golden coffin to Beauty Manor, accompanied by Xiao Se and Lei Wujie.

Lei Wujie was sent by his master, Lei Hong, to challenge the Heaven’s Ascent Pavilion in Snow Moon City and meet the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. Along the way, he decided to follow Tang Lian.

Xiao Se, still owed 300 taels of silver by Lei Wujie, also tagged along.

Upon arrival at Beauty Manor, Tang Lian sought out the owner, Tian Nu Rui, who secretly had ties to Snow Moon City.

“Lei Wujie, stay here and guard the coffin. I’m going to meet the Manor Lord,” Tang Lian instructed.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother! I’ll guard it well!” Lei Wujie promised earnestly.

Tang Lian brought Xiao Se to a grand pavilion, where lively gambling noises echoed from within.

“Big, big, big!”

“Small, small, small!”

“Haha, I win! Pay up!”j

Beauty Manor was a haven for gambling, drawing officials and wealthy elites from miles around. Its chips weren’t gold or silver but rare pearls that could be purchased or exchanged for silver.

Inside, the Manor Lord, Tian Nu Rui, was a renowned beauty and a favorite among affluent patrons. Many spent fortunes just to win her favor.

Upon entering, a maid greeted Tang Lian and Xiao Se, leading them to a private room.

“Young Master Tang, our boss has been expecting you,” the maid said, closing the door behind them.

Dressed in a red gown that accentuated her flawless, jade-like legs, Tian Nu Rui greeted them with a graceful smile.

“Tang Lian, you’ve arrived. Please, have a seat.”

Tang Lian got straight to the point, “Has the contact arrived?”

“Not yet…” Tian Nu Rui shook her head gently.

Tang Lian frowned. Before leaving Snow Moon City, he was informed to meet a contact here. If the contact didn’t show, his mission was to escort the golden coffin to Nine Dragon Temple.

The delay unsettled him, as his journey had been fraught with danger. Rumors of treasures, legendary weapons, and martial secrets hidden within the coffin attracted countless assassins.

Tang Lian’s martial prowess at the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm was the only reason he survived so far.

Suddenly, Lei Wujie’s screams erupted from outside the pavilion.

Tang Lian’s expression darkened. Without a word, he and Xiao Se rushed out to investigate.
