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

“Miss Ru Shuang has a child,” Jiang Chuan said softly to the village chief.

Since there is a child, it means that the child has a father.

Jiang Chuan wanted to use this opportunity to subtly remind the village chief that he and the other person were not a good match.

Unexpectedly, the village chief's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, "Having children, isn't that even better? It means they can have children?"

Jiang Chuan ultimately underestimated how much people in this era cared about whether women could bear children.

In their view, a woman's chastity is not important; what matters is her ability to bear children.

In fact, among ordinary people, widows who have given birth are more popular than women who have never given birth.

This situation arose because of years of war, which resulted in the near extinction of all able-bodied men.

After all, it takes twenty years for a person to grow up, but only a moment to die.

In the past, after the Battle of Changping, almost all the adult males of the Zhao state were killed or wounded. Because of that battle, the entire Zhao state has not yet fully recovered.

Similarly, due to the impact of war, various countries successively introduced policies to encourage childbirth.

Everyone who gives birth receives a reward.

"Miss Ru Shuang, please don't take the village chief's words to heart."

Seeing that the old village chief was getting increasingly agitated, Jiang Chuan could only try to appease Ru Shuang.

Ru Shuang shook her head, indicating that she didn't take it to heart.

The old village chief realized that it was a bit abrupt to say such things so soon after meeting the young woman, so he said no more. However, before leaving, he couldn't suppress his desire to play matchmaker and said to Ru Shuang, "Although I don't know what you're thinking, Miss Ru Shuang, as someone who's been through this, I still want to advise you that as a woman, it's best to find a man to rely on. Not all women have the abilities of that widow Qing from Bashu."

"Not to mention, you also have a child with you."

"I'm not lying to you, Xiao Chuan is really a good boy, someone you can entrust your life to."

After saying this, he leaned on his cane and slowly left.

……

They watched the old village chief leave.

Jiang Chuan then turned his attention to Ru Shuang. He looked at Ru Shuang somewhat nervously and said, "That old guy is senile. His favorite thing to do is to play matchmaker. Don't take his words to heart."

Ru Shuang held the child and gently shook her head.

Seeing the other party shake their head, Jiang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he slipped out of the house again to continue practicing his swordsmanship.

Ru Shuang held her child, who had fallen asleep again, and watched Jiang Chuan leave, her gaze suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

She looked down at her sleeping child and murmured to herself, "Looking for someone to rely on?"

To be fair, she did consider this matter during this period.

She was at a loss about what lay ahead.

But she knew that if she wanted her child to live a normal life and have a happy life, the child couldn't be without a father.

But she really hadn't considered Jiang Chuan.

Perhaps because Jiang Chuan had helped her and her daughter, she had only thought about teaching Jiang Chuan swordsmanship to repay him, thus neglecting this point.

Even today, the old village chief's ramblings persist.

That finally woke her up.

Jiang Chuan seems like a good option.

Although he was an ordinary person with no distinguished status.

But when it comes to illustrious status, who can compare to the world-renowned Lord Xinling, or Yan'er's biological father?

She didn't care whether the other person was of a prominent status or whether he was worthy of her.

All she wanted was to find someone who would be good to Yan'er, someone who could take care of Yan'er, and someone who could help Yan'er grow up happily, peacefully, and healthily.

Now it seems more and more suitable for Jiang Chuan.

Because of Yan'er, I really like Jiang Chuan.

They also rely heavily on Jiangchuan.

Of course, these are just her own thoughts at the moment.

Whether Jiang Chuan is willing or not is another matter entirely.

As Jiang Chuan said, she did give birth to a child after all.

Moreover, after marrying her, Jiang Chuan would have an extra burden, needing to help her take care of the children.

……

Another night.

Jiang Chuan, however, couldn't fall asleep.

During the day, the village chief's words kept echoing in his mind.

Although it was said in jest.

But Jiang Chuan admitted that for a moment, he was indeed tempted.

After all, Ru Shuang was so beautiful.

He was somewhat lusting after her body.

However, he was also very clear about his own limitations. Even as a transmigrator, he had neither a distinguished status nor superb martial arts skills, so he was simply not worthy of Ru Shuang.

Instead of indulging in wishful thinking, it's better to face reality.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Jiang Chuan finally fell asleep.

In his dream, he once again found himself in that chaotic space.

The figure shrouded in mist reappeared.

This time, the opponent wielded a sword and unleashed a single strike, and Jiang Chuan seemed to see... the Great Dao.

The supreme principles of swordsmanship entered his heart, captivating and enchanting him.

Chapter Ten: Methods of Internal Energy Cultivation

"Using one's own power, one draws upon the power of heaven and earth, and then conceals this power within the天地 (heaven and earth), transforming it into an incomparably powerful attack. Because that vast power is inherently concealed within the天地 (heaven and earth), those within it cannot perceive or touch it, and can only passively endure the destructive force it brings..."

When Jiang Chuan woke up in the morning, the scene of Ru Shuang's sword strike from the previous day kept replaying in his mind.

He hadn't been able to see the sword strike clearly during the day yesterday.

It wasn't until evening, after re-entering that mysterious space, that Jiang Chuan was able to clearly see the figure practicing that sword technique. Subsequently, his understanding of that sword technique flooded into his mind.

After entering that space three times, Jiang Chuan gradually came to understand its purpose.

During the day, it doesn't matter if you don't remember any of the martial arts techniques you've seen. At night, when you enter this space, a figure exactly like you will appear and practice the sword moves you made during the day. Then, the figure will enter your body, and you will gain the memories and insights of those moves.

"what is this?"

"Enlightenment in a dream?"

"Cultivation in a dream?"

Jiang Chuan tried to name his cheat ability, but given that it only showed these abilities so far, and whether there were any hidden functions that he hadn't yet discovered, Jiang Chuan didn't know what to call it.

Thinking about the profound mystery of the amazing sword strike that Ru Shuang had performed yesterday, Jiang Chuan picked up his wooden sword and prepared to practice it.

However, just as he was about to start the drill, he suddenly felt his blood rushing to his head and flowing backward. All the power in his body was flowing outward. In an instant, he felt his internal organs shaking at the same time, and an unprecedented feeling of weakness came over him.

Jiang Chuan realized the situation was bad and immediately stopped using the sword.

Even so, in that short moment, he was already severely weakened. When he walked, his legs felt weak and he felt like he couldn't stand up.

"How could this be?"

Jiang Chuan was puzzled.

It took him a long time to recover.

However, the feeling of weakness in my body still persisted.

It felt like we had conquered many times in one night. It's a pity there are no goji berries in Jiangchuan, otherwise I would definitely have made a lot of goji berry tea to drink.

After he barely recovered to the point where he could walk.

Jiang Chuan decided to go find Ru Shuang and ask her some questions.

After all, he had become like this because he was practicing the sword move she had taught him, and it wasn't because he had done anything shameful.

So he decisively went to find Ru Shuang.

He asked himself a question.

Ru Shuang was stunned after hearing Jiang Chuan's question.

"You've learned that move?"
