Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

190. Chapter 190 Walking In The World

Chapter 190: Walking in the Human World

In the outskirts, within the famous mountains and rivers, lies Mount Wanlian, one of the renowned mountains. Inside the mountain, there is an ancient stone Buddha temple and a long-standing practice-oriented Taoist temple.

At the same time, it is also a well-known tourist attraction, taking advantage of the current global popularity of Transcendent. Tourists who come to pay their respects are endless. Even to visit some famous attractions, one needs to have VIP access to qualify for queuing.

After this rule was implemented, there were naturally various online mockery and insults. But offline tourists are very practical, especially those who are wealthy. The more rules a temple or Taoist temple has, the more sincerely they go to offer incense and donate money.

On this day, it started to rain heavily. Although the weather was bad, there were still devout tourists walking on the clean stone path with umbrellas.

A thin and dry male salesperson, holding an umbrella to please two clients, walked to the entrance of a Taoist temple.

This salesperson had long purchased the VIP access to this Taoist temple and could be considered friends with the two Taoists inside. So when he heard that the clients wanted to visit a reliable Taoist temple or temple to pay their respects, he immediately thought of this place.

Along the way, the clients were quite satisfied with the scenery, and the reputation of the masters in the Taoist temple made their eyes shine.

The young Taoist at the entrance also knew the salesperson and was surprised, blurting out, "Why are there so many people in the rain today?"

Still, according to the rules, he welcomed the three of them into the Taoist temple.

They first paid their respects to the statues in the side hall and then went to the back hall.

There, they found that the back hall was already full of people. About two-thirds of them were dressed like the tourists, but many of them looked wealthy. The other one-third were dressed as Taoists or monks.

The three newcomers couldn't help but become solemn and sat in seats near the door.

"Today's luck is not good. It is said that the old master of Wanlian Temple has returned from his seclusion," the salesperson explained quietly to the two clients.

The two clients became even more cautious and adjusted their clothes.

The old master of Wanlian Temple was quite famous as a representative of practical cultivation in this remote area. After the commotion caused by the Transcendent Mysterious in the south, many people with half-knowledge and various purposes willingly believed that this old master must also be a Transcendent practitioner!

Ding dong!

After who knows how long, a sound was heard. An old Daoist wearing a clean blue robe walked out from the inner sect.

This old Daoist had a ruddy complexion and smooth skin like a baby. And there was a sense of strength and power in his movements.

The old Daoist sat down in the Lotus Position and scanned the people below with his eyes.

Immediately, many people felt a tingling sensation as if they had been electrified.

The two clients who were visiting for the first time were even more amazed, feeling that this trip was worthwhile.

This old Daoist had truly achieved the Dao Fruit!

However, the old master of Wanlian Temple knew in his heart what he was truly capable of. He had only achieved a little in the practice of cultivating inner energy in the Daoist tradition.

As for his reputation, it mainly relied on the medical skills passed down in the temple. Since his initiation thirty years ago, he had made no progress in his Closed Door Training.

To be honest, this time he only attempted Closed Door Training again because he heard that a fellow practitioner in the south had achieved Supernatural Power. He couldn't resist trying again.

The result, of course, was nothing gained.

But these things naturally couldn't be said to outsiders.

The old master had long discovered that reputation also had a great effect on healing. With the same illness and the same medicine or treatment method, the larger his reputation, the better the patients would perceive the effect.

And so, in order to better treat and save lives, the old abbot made the difficult decision to not tell lies completely and not tell the truth completely.

This is not the first time the old abbot has left the temple. After briefly discussing the difficulties of cultivation with everyone, he looked at the guests who had come from afar.

Checking their faces and examining for any hidden illnesses could be considered a gift from him to these laypeople.

Upon hearing the previous words, the Taoists and monks all had gloomy expressions.

They were all practitioners of Wanlian Mountain.

Although the old abbot had not promised, he was considered their leader.

Now that they heard the old abbot had no transcendent power, it was definitely disappointing.

They had all hoped to be the first to benefit from being close to the water tower and seek true enlightenment.

Drinking hot tea, they had already begun to silently think about how to talk to the abbot about their cultivation when they returned to the temple.

Suddenly, a young Taoist with an excited expression ran in from the main gate in the rain.

Before catching his breath, the young Taoist knelt in the hall and shouted, "Abbot! A cultivator from the Immortal Realm has come to visit you!"

The young Taoist was very excited, and his voice became louder as he spoke.

It seemed that he considered it a great honor for the person he mentioned to come and visit the old abbot.

A slightly shorter adult Taoist sitting next to the old abbot frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this young Taoist couldn't hold his excitement because of his young age.

He didn't even consider that there was a lineage in the Taoist or Buddhist sects called the Immortal Realm.

Could it be that this little guy had played some tricks and fooled this young Taoist?

This little guy was introduced by his own relatives, although the abbot had a gentle personality and wouldn't make things difficult, it would be best for him to speak first and scold him later to set the tone.

As the Taoist thought this, he was about to speak, but after seeing the figure at the door, his whole body tensed up and his eyes widened.

The dozens of people in the back hall also looked towards the door.

It was raining heavily at the door.

The young Taoist who walked over didn't carry an umbrella, but there was not a single trace of rain on his body.

The salesperson next to the door had good eyesight.

He saw clearly that when the young cultivator hadn't entered the door, the raindrops seemed to slide off his clothes without touching them.

It was as if the young Taoist had an invisible shield around him!

"This is a real immortal!" the salesperson exclaimed.

Beside the salesperson, a middle-aged customer with equally good eyesight said, "This Taoist seems a bit familiar?"

Unlike others who were uncertain, although the old abbot was in his seventies or eighties, his memory was very clear.

Seeing Zhou Xuan walking in with a sword on his back and wearing a rainproof robe, the old abbot was amazed by his transcendent charm after his cultivation had succeeded.

The old abbot recalled the memories in his mind.

After hesitating, he connected the memories of the young genius in his mind with the transcendent Taoist in front of him.

Then he asked in a low voice, "Is the visitor the Zhou Xuan Taoist who had a brief encounter with the old Taoist at Dao Palace three years ago?"

The old abbot stood up and asked.

Zhou Xuan stopped in his tracks and clasped his hands in front of his chest with a confident air that made others envious.

"Zhou Xuan, a cultivator from the Immortal Realm, has seen the Taoist!"

"Three years ago, I did indeed have a brief encounter with the Taoist at Dao Palace."

Three years ago, Zhou Xuan, who had some talent, was recommended to study and practice at Dao Palace as a young Taoist.

At that time, Zhou Xuan had seen the old abbot of Wanlian Temple.

But at that time, the old abbot was on the stage, and he was in the audience.

Now...

The old abbot was still on the stage, but Zhou Xuan was already standing in the sky.

Zhou Xuan knew what the old abbot wanted to ask.

He continued to emphasize his own identity, making the astute Taoist monks immediately understand.

Nowadays, the changes in the situation are not caused by their contact with the Daoist circle, but by the extraordinary opportunities obtained by this young Taoist.

The current young Taoist is no longer a registered cultivator under the jurisdiction of the Dao Palace, but a remarkable figure who walks among mortals!

"Visiting the land of the three hundred law veins in the north?"

"The Wanlian Temple naturally welcomes you!"

Having understood the purpose of his visit, the old temple master stood up and then solemnly instructed his disciples to see the guest off and close the temple to avoid disturbing the visit of the young Taoist.

"But... it's still raining!"

A Taoist was slightly surprised and wanted to resist.

However, the Taoists in the temple didn't care about these things. In their eyes, receiving a visitor from the Immortal Realm was the most important thing, regardless of the weather.

It was the old temple master who was worried about causing trouble and displeasing the young Taoist. Seeing that the rain was indeed heavy, he became a little anxious.

He arranged all the visitors for today in the guest rooms.

Then the old temple master took the young Taoist and began to visit the Wanlian Temple.

Various statues, a large number of books, and many relics left by senior practitioners were displayed.

In front of the truly transcendent-powered young Taoist, they were extremely attentive.

Everything that could be taken out was taken out.

The reason was not explicitly stated, but everyone was not foolish.

Especially these practitioners who were closest to the practice of transcendence.

Although their numbers were extremely small, they were all respected figures in the cultivation circle.

They had their own channels and connections to obtain information.

They were practicing themselves and combined with the known information.

It was clear to them that they could not produce more genuine things through their own opportunities and cultivation.

If they wanted genuine things, they could only rely on the sudden appearance of extraordinary opportunities!

They had secretly studied how to obtain extraordinary opportunities.

They found that besides unexpectedly encountering great luck, the most likely way was to provide what the true cultivators needed.

After realizing this, each practitioner had mentally prepared themselves in advance.

For this... many things were negotiable.

And from the current situation, the other party was just looking and exploring.

Obviously, it was not a blatant robbery, which made these practitioners more accepting.

After visiting various hidden places.

The young Taoist became interested and had a night-long conversation with the old Taoist.

Although the old Taoist was not transcendent, he had practiced for decades and had a deep understanding of many principles that the young Taoist only vaguely understood.

And many of the young Taoist's cultivation methods gave the old Taoist a sense of sudden enlightenment.

It's just that the Water Blue Star didn't have Spiritual Qi.

Even if the old Taoist understood where his cultivation methods went wrong or where they could be improved, he didn't have the conditions to verify them.

When it was dawn, the young Taoist was planning to say goodbye and leave, but he saw the old temple master, who had been like a gentle elder, suddenly kneel down towards him.

This reminded the young Taoist of the memory of his first encounter with an immortal elder.

He quickly activated his magic power to prevent the other party from truly kneeling down.

At the same time, he spoke in a gentle tone, stating that he was only representing the Cloud Arrival Immortal Realm to visit the various law veins in the mortal world.

Whether there were usable items or people to be saved, his words were not final.

Everything would only be known after he completed his visit to the three hundred law veins in the northern region and returned to the Grotto-Heaven.

And he himself came from the Daoist sect and had also practiced as a cultivator, understanding the hardships and difficulties of cultivation.

In this visit, he would definitely not have any ulterior motives.

After saying these words, the young Taoist finally used his magic power to help the old temple master tidy up his body, and incidentally eliminated some hidden ailments.

This was also a way to thank the old temple master for his cooperation and openness during the reception.

After leaving the temple,

Zhou Xuan continued on his journey, crossing mountains and valleys towards the next destination.

The Taoist and Buddhist monks who wanted to keep up could only stand on the mountain and watch, envious of Zhou Xuan's seemingly effortless agility.

The tourists, on the other hand, were much simpler, marveling at the fact that they had encountered a true master this time!

The Taoist was still so young, he must be a disciple of an immortal!

Then, the visited Wan Lian Guan's old abbot, fueled the rumors after the tourists left the mountain.

He became known as the old immortal of the northern region.

Because the old abbot already had a certain level of fame.

Many patients he had treated came forward to testify.

His identity as an immortal was confirmed.

Even the vice president of an association specially came to observe the old abbot in person.

Confirming that the rumors outside were indeed just rumors.

But on the other hand.

The Taoists and monks who considered themselves as one of the three hundred branches of the Dao or as practitioners in temples, prepared to receive Zhou Xuan after hearing about this.

It made Zhou Xuan's visits and travels much more convenient.

Wherever he went, as long as he showed up, he would be warmly welcomed and assisted.

It gave him the illusion that he was an envoy from the Immortal World.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was a person with true wisdom.

As soon as this delusion arose, he woke up and believed that this was also one of the purposes of the immortal master for him to carry out this task.

That is to cultivate himself, to let himself experience the various aspects of the human world and to cultivate his heart!

With a strong state of mind, one can be like a fish in water during cultivation and reduce the probability of Qi Deviation.

................

"Look, the target person is coming out of Da Xue Temple."

In the early morning, someone in the monitoring room of the emergency human walking investigation team woke up a colleague who had been napping for a while.

Then, they saw through the remote unmanned aerial vehicle's perspective, Zhou Xuan, the immortal from the Cloud Arrival Immortal Realm, walking out of the ancient temple's gate.

There were still many high monks seeing him off at the entrance.

The investigators mainly observed, and their other task was to prevent accidents.

Just as Zhou Xuan had descended the mountain for a while.

A investigator suddenly exclaimed and then reminded, "Wait, look... that's a tiger!"

"Uh-oh, the target might encounter the tiger..."

"Prepare the unmanned aerial vehicle weapon system, in case of any accidents, the first priority is to protect the target's safety."

There was almost no time for thinking, and the decision was made above.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan was setting off towards the next target.

He noticed a tiger not far away.

It was the first time Zhou Xuan had seen a wild tiger outside of a zoo.

And this was a rare white adult tiger.

The more Zhou Xuan looked at it, the more he liked it.

With a light step, he ran towards it.

The tiger roared, hungry and intending to hunt down this strange monkey that dared to approach it.

But after the other party approached within a hundred meters, it inexplicably felt danger and turned around to run into the depths of the dense forest.

So, through the perspective of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the investigators saw a young Taoist priest chasing after a white tiger in the snowy field.

And after catching up in a dense forest.

Not long after.

They were all surprised to see that the white tiger had become the young Taoist's mount, carrying him on its back as they walked down the mountain road...
