The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

As Jiang Chuan traveled through this country, he measured the land with his footsteps, witnessing countless loves and hates in the mortal world.

On this day, Jiang Chuan arrived at Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain was a famous mountain in the Yan Kingdom. In this mountain, Jiang Chuan suddenly had a feeling, and then found a quiet place and fell into a state of enlightenment.

When he woke up, he found himself covered in snow. To be precise, the snow had buried him, and he looked like a snowman.

As his internal energy circulated, an unbearably hot aura was released from his body, instantly melting the snow that had accumulated on his body, and drying his clothes that had been wet with snow.

Jiang Chuan slowly stood up.

He didn't know how long his seclusion lasted.

But at this moment, when he looked at the world again, he found that the world had changed completely.

One moment, he was filled with a scorching aura, but the next moment, that aura suddenly changed, becoming chillingly cold.

The so-called transformation of Yin and Yang is nothing more than this.

Chapter 262 Ji City, the Name of the Snow Maiden!

We traversed the Changbai Mountains and freely roamed the Liaodong region of the Yan Kingdom.

Jiang Chuan had interacted with ginseng gatherers here, hunted with hunters, and witnessed the struggles of the Hu people for a living. This land of white mountains and black waters was also filled with love, hate, and grudges that were completely different from those in the Central Plains.

He did not use too much martial arts during this process.

Or rather, after achieving the Grandmaster realm, his every move was already close to the Dao, and what he did was merely experiencing the myriad phenomena of the mortal world as a human being.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Jiang Chuan arrived in Jicheng.

Ji City was the capital of the Yan State. During the reign of King Zhao of Yan, the city fell into decline, and Wuyang City replaced it as the de facto capital of the Yan State. However, the prosperity of Wuyang City, like the hegemony of King Zhao of Yan, was fleeting.

With the death of King Zhao of Yan, the State of Yan declined rapidly, while the State of Zhao rose and repeatedly invaded Yan. Yan suffered repeated defeats. Because Wuyang City was near the Yi River and close to the State of Zhao, in the current era of King Xi of Yan, he moved the administrative center back to Ji City.

As a result, Jicheng prospered again in 383.

As for Prince Xi of Yan, he was also a person who couldn't stand being alone. Apart from Jicheng, he would also take some time each year to go to Zhongdu and Liaodong for a while. In a sense, Prince Xi of Yan was similar to Prince An of Han. Both of them were incompetent rulers, but they were also skilled in the art of power.

It's not surprising, since both of them were rulers of fallen kingdoms, and neither of them was much more capable than the other.

However, the two of them have one thing in common: they both have extraordinary sons.

Han Fei, the son of King An of Han, was a prodigy.

Yan Dan, the son of King Xi of Yan, was also an extraordinary person.

Unlike the muddle-headed King Xi of Yan, King Dan of Yan had an excellent reputation in Ji City. Almost all the people of Yan believed that this crown prince was brave and resourceful and was a candidate for a wise ruler. His popularity among the people was extremely high.

In addition, there is another thing worth mentioning: Crown Prince Yan Dan, despite being a member of the royal family, liked to treat scholars with courtesy and make friends with people from all walks of life. Even if they were just ordinary people from the martial arts world, he would greet them politely and drink with them.

For this reason, every year people travel thousands of miles to Jicheng to serve Crown Prince Yan Dan, and he keeps many retainers under his command.

Jiang Chuan, dressed in spotless white robes, arrived in Ji City carrying a sword without causing any disturbance.

In the lands of Yan and Zhao, the practice of wandering knights carrying swords is not prohibited; in fact, one can often witness armed clashes in Ji City.

Since arriving in this city, Jiang Chuan has been exploring it like an ordinary person.

In fact, after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm in Changbai Mountain, the subsequent journey was no longer of much significance to Jiang Chuan, as he had already completed the process of seeing all living beings.

However, he ultimately chose to continue, treating it as a kind of travel experience.

After all, we have come.

Since arriving in Jicheng, Jiang Chuan's biggest concern has been whether or not there is a Feixue Pavilion.

After all, in the original work, the descriptions of Ji City appear more often in Xue Nu's memories, and Fei Xue Pavilion is an unavoidable part of them.

The Zilan Pavilion in Korea, the Feixue Pavilion in Yan, and the Zuimeng Tower in Qi were all renowned places of pleasure throughout the land.

Jiang Chuan did not know whether Zui Meng Lou still existed at this time, but Zi Lan Xuan had indeed been destroyed by a fire.

What about Feixue Pavilion?

Does it exist?

After investigating, Jiang Chuan finally found the answer.

Feixue Pavilion really does exist.

However, it hasn't been around for very long; it was established last year.

Last year, a major event occurred.

That is, Qin general Fan Yuqi led troops to attack Zhao and made many military achievements. Under such circumstances, many people in Zhao were displaced and had to flee to other countries. Among them were a very special person.

That was the most famous dancer in the State of Zhao – “Snow Maiden”.

Logically speaking, a most famous dancer like Xue Nu should have lived in Handan, the capital of Zhao. Even if the Qin army attacked Zhao, it would have had no impact on her. But she came to Yan instead.

After arriving in the Yan Kingdom, she was quickly received by Crown Prince Yan Dan, and with his financial support, Fei Xue Pavilion was established.

Although it hasn't been established for very long.

However, Yan and Zhao are neighbors, and the dances of Yan and Zhao naturally have something in common.

In addition, this Snow Maiden was the number one dancer in the Zhao Kingdom, so her beauty quickly spread throughout the entire city of Ji, and her dances amazed many people in the Yan Kingdom.

Because Feixue Pavilion is backed by Crown Prince Yan Dan, who is a man who likes to treat scholars and commoners and nobles equally, Feixue Pavilion has inherited this style.

To enter Feixue Pavilion to appreciate the Snow Maiden's Dance, it is not like the Zilan Pavilion in Korea of ​​yesteryear, where only the wealthy and powerful could enter.

Even ordinary people can enter.

His fees are not very expensive.

However, because there are too many commoners and Feixue Pavilion is only so big, Feixue Pavilion has specially created a reservation system, and then selects some people to have the opportunity to enter Feixue Pavilion every month to enjoy the Snow Maiden's Dance.

Yes, the Snow Woman only performs one dance per month.

Only when the Snow Maiden performs her dance will Feixue Pavilion use this lottery system.

Normally, other dancers also perform at Feixue Pavilion, but at this time, the only way to enter Feixue Pavilion is to pay a high entrance fee.

The Snow Woman performs a dance once a month, allowing commoners to enter and watch, which is more like a form of welfare.

After learning about the Feixue Pavilion, Jiang Chuan found these events quite interesting.

"So, the Snow Woman is a female bodhisattva?"

"But what's the point of allowing civilians to watch you dance?"

"It's not like giving away food or porridge to feed the poor. It's just a dance. Whether you watch it or not is meaningless. For the powerful and wealthy, appreciating dance is a form of entertainment because they have no worries about food and clothing. But for ordinary people, even getting three meals a day is a problem. Where would they find the mood to watch a dance?"

Jiang Chuan pondered to himself.

He then shook his head. "No, perhaps it still has meaning."

"In this world, apart from the powerful and wealthy, there are mostly ordinary people. Letting ordinary people appreciate your dance can make you famous quickly."

"The Snow Woman is doing this to seek fame!"

Chapter 263: See you again at Feixue Pavilion

Jiang Chuan realized the Snow Woman's purpose, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Xue Nu was originally the most famous dancer in the State of Zhao. By chance, she came to the State of Yan. In Yan, she already had a great reputation, but this reputation was mostly limited to the powerful and noble. In the past, in the State of Zhao, those who could appreciate Xue Nu's dance were either rich or noble.

Dance, in this era, carries a sacred meaning.

In the Yin-Yang School and Mount Shu, there are even methods to communicate with the gods through dance.

While there are dances performed by ordinary people in various countries, it is mostly the powerful and wealthy who promote and appreciate these things.

After all, ordinary people are busy making a living, so where do they find so much time for entertainment?

They can't handle music or dance.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Yu Boya was so overjoyed and happy when he discovered that the woodcutter Zhong Ziqi could listen to his music.

Right now, the Snow Maiden is using this method to let commoners appreciate her dance, thus gaining immense fame among the common people of Yan. What Jiang Chuan is thinking about is seeking fame.

This name may have been what the Snow Maiden herself wanted, but besides that, Prince Yan Dan was definitely a huge driving force behind it all.

Because the owner behind Feixue Pavilion is none other than Prince Yan Dan of the Yan Kingdom.

The Mohist school was rooted among the lowest strata of society. As a member of the Mohist school, Yan Dan was better able than ordinary people to understand the immense power that the lower classes possessed.

They may seem like roadside weeds, but weeds are incredibly resilient; even if broken, they can grow back the following spring.

At this time, it would be very useful to make Yuki-onna famous among the people and cultivate her into a big star.

When necessary, one can even use the Snow Woman's fame among the people to manipulate public opinion.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but let his mind wander.

There's no way around it; in this era, the Snow Woman is a superstar.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but use his later-generation thinking to speculate.

In later generations, when a celebrity's fame reaches a certain level, they can indeed manipulate public opinion. However, public opinion is a double-edged sword. If it is not used properly, it may backfire and harm the celebrity.
