Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 466: Qi Refining and Spiritualization Soup

At the end of the Chen hour, immortals or their disciples gradually came to offer their congratulations.

The first person to visit was Chen Yun's good friend, Zhang Jiwen from Longhu Mountain.

Taoist Jiao saluted outside the door and said, "Mr. Zhang Jiwen from Mount Longhu has come to congratulate you on your immortality."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haichan led Zhang Jiwen into the living room.

Seeing this, Chen Yun, who was sitting in the seat of honor, immediately stood up to greet him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Jiwen came in, he stood naturally with his feet in an "eight" position, his head and waist naturally bent like a crescent, his hands naturally drooped down and clasped his fists at his dantian, straightened his hands and raised them to his mouth, bowed in a very standard posture, then knelt down and kowtowed three times, shouting loudly: "Zhang Jiwen of Longhu Mountain, greetings to Master Chen."

After saying this, he stood up and bowed again.

In Taoism, the ritual of kowtow consists of a bow, a kowtow, and then another bow, which is called "one ritual", which is a more serious ritual than bow.

Nowadays, Zhang Jiwen bows three times and then bows again, which is also called "one ceremony". This is a more serious ceremony, usually performed when burning incense to worship gods and to the master.

In addition, the ritual of one bow and three kowtows is performed three times in a row, which is called "three bows and nine kowtows". This is the most solemn ritual and is only performed when wishing a birthday for a deity or celebrating a grand ceremony.

It can be said that the ritual that Zhang Jiwen is performing now is the most solemn one among Taoists in their daily activities. After all, one bow and three kowtows are only performed when wishing a birthday to a respected deity or celebrating a grand ceremony.

Chen Yun could naturally see the change in the way Zhang Jiwen treated him.

He laughed dumbly and said, "My dear brother, do we need to be so polite to each other?"

Zhang Jiwen chuckled, "Etiquette cannot be abolished. Brother, now that you have attained the Tao and become an immortal, I will naturally worship you according to the immortal's way of worship."

As he spoke, he held the storage bag in front of him and said, "Brother, my father asked me to send a gift of congratulations. Please accept it."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Yun thanked him and turned his head to look at Liu Haichan, "Accept it for me. Here's the tea."

Liu Haichan quickly took the storage bag and invited Zhang Jiwen to sit down and served him tea.

Here, Chen Yun was just about to reminisce with Zhang Jiwen.

The voice of Jiao Daoist came from outside: "Mr. Han Ziming, a disciple of Master Xie from Jinquan Mountain, is here to congratulate Master on his becoming an immortal."

Liu Haichan went out again to welcome the person in.

As soon as Han Ziming came in, he bowed three times to Chen Yun, just like Zhang Jiwen did, and shouted, "Han Ziming, a disciple of Master Xie of Jinquan Mountain, greets Master Chen."

Chen Yun thanked him in return and invited the other party to take a seat.

He also asked Liu Haichan to collect the gifts and serve tea for him.

Afterwards, waves of singing and cheering came one after another.

"Master Chongyang and his disciples have come to congratulate the teacher on his attainment of immortality!"

"The boy from the Pure Yang Master of Beiqi Mountain came to congratulate the teacher on his attainment of immortality!"

"Disciple of Master Li, the Medicine King..."

"Master Hu San, Master Liu..."

"Master Han..."

Around 9:00 p.m., the living room was already packed with people.

Many immortals or their disciples sat in two rows.

Sitting on the left are Taoist Master Chongyang, Master Hu San and other immortals who have attained enlightenment.

Sitting on the right are Zhang Jiwen, Han Ziming and other people who have not yet achieved immortality.

Chen Yun ordered Liu Haichan to bring plates of spiritual fruits to the immortals' table.

During this period, as the object of congratulations, he kept greeting the immortals.

After half a day of greeting, many immortals gradually said goodbye.

Chen Yun escorted the immortals to the gate of Laojun Temple one by one and watched them leave.

In the end, only a number of Northeastern immortals had not yet stood up to say goodbye.

Chen Yun had just seen off his nephew, Master Chongyang.

Although the other party is Lu Dongbin's disciple and nominally his nephew, in fact, Lu Dongbin has formed his own lineage, and Chongyang Zhenren has also formed his own lineage.

The other party called him "Uncle Master" out of respect.

If you don't want to be disrespectful, you can just address them as peers.

Chen Yun was not a person who did not know what to do, so he naturally wanted to personally see Master Chongyang off.

Return to the living room.

Chen Yun said politely to the Northeastern immortals: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Master Hu San, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, smiled and said, "Master Chen is really polite."

Master Liu, Old Lady Bai, Master Huang, Master Hui, Master Hui and other immortals all greeted them with smiles.

Seeing that these Northeastern immortals did not leave immediately like the others, Chen Yun knew that there must be something else going on.

But the other party didn't bring it up, so he simply didn't ask.

We sat there and chatted for a while.

At this time, Master Liu seemed to be unable to hold back and asked, "Master Chen, please forgive my rudeness, but may I ask if you have any disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun immediately knew what these Northeastern immortals were planning.

He told the truth: "So far, I only have two registered disciples, and no disciples who have entered the hall have been admitted."

Master Liu smiled and said, "In this case, I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Master Chen can grant it."

Chen Yun said: "Please speak."

Master Liu said, "My disciple Chang Wei admires the great Dao of the Immortal Master and hopes to worship the Immortal Master as his master. I don't want to be his formal disciple, but a formal name is enough."

Master Liu's words were quite skillful. On the surface, he was asking for Master Chang to be his disciple, but he did not make things difficult for Chen Yun. He only asked him to become a registered disciple.

What is a registered disciple?

A disciple in name only but not officially recognized.

To this kind of disciple, the master does not necessarily have to teach him any real Taoist teachings.

There is not even the obligations and responsibilities of a master.

Give some advice when you are happy.

It’s okay if you’re unhappy and ignore it.

Of course, the corresponding thing is that, apart from respecting the teacher, the registered disciples do not have too many obligations as disciples and can switch to another sect at any time.

If the master thinks that this registered disciple is good, he can also choose to formally include him in the sect and make him a formal disciple. Chen Yun knew that Master Liu did not really want Master Chang to worship him as his master, but wanted this method to strengthen the connection between the Northeast Immortal Family and himself and establish friendship.

He was not a tactless person. If the other party wanted to make friends with him, he would naturally understand.

Chen Yun said with a smile: "That's fine. Ask Chang Wei to come here tomorrow. If I have free time, I will definitely teach him some Taoist techniques."

Master Liu was overjoyed, he stood up and saluted, saying: "Thank you, Master Chen."

When the immortals including Master Hu San, Master Huang Er, Old Lady Bai, Master Hui, and Grandpa Hui and Grandma Hui saw that Chen Yun was willing to make friends with them, they all showed joy on their faces.

Now that the immortals have achieved their goal, there is naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.

They chatted with Chen Yun for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

Just like before, Chen Yun sent these Northeastern immortals out the door.

……

Return to the living room again.

Liu Haichan and Jiao Taoist were chatting.

When the two saw Chen Yun coming back, they hurriedly presented the many gifts from the immortals they had just received.

Until now, Chen Yun still doesn't know what kind of gifts those immortals gave him.

He planned to look at them one by one, so that if these immortals who came to give gifts had any problems in the future, he could return corresponding gifts.

I just put a bunch of storage tools containing gifts into the Hu Tianshu space.

Taoist Jiao quickly grabbed Chen Yun and said, "Teacher, now that you have achieved enlightenment and become an immortal, should I hold a banquet at Da Mian Peak of Qingcheng Mountain to announce to the world that you have become an immortal?"

This kind of thing is actually very common. For example, if someone in a sect achieves enlightenment and becomes an immortal, they will naturally invite fellow Taoists from all over the world to celebrate and increase the prestige of the sect.

According to common sense, Chen Yun should indeed hold such a banquet.

However, when Zheng Wenshu attained enlightenment and became an immortal, the Taoist Temple did not hold such a banquet.

He himself liked quietness, so he naturally refused.

Besides, Chen Yun has not yet reached the peak of his current realm.

He needs plenty of time to grow.

Where is the time to hold such a banquet?
He simply asked Taoist Jiao to take Liu Haichan back to Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism, while he himself stayed in Laojun Temple and served as the temporary "abbot".

……

In the quiet room.

Chen Yun took out the gifts one by one and inspected them.

Prepare to remember which immortals gave what gifts so that you can return the gifts later.

He picked up a storage bag at random, "This is a gift from Longhu Mountain. Let's see what's inside."

Chen Yun opened the storage bag and took out the contents.

It’s a good thing I didn’t take it.

As soon as he took it out, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

I saw a red, thumb-sized fruit lying quietly.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment. "This is the fruit of the Ganoderma lucidum. Longhu Mountain is really generous."

The Zhizhiling fruit is not an ordinary fruit.

It is a spiritual object that is of great help in the stage of refining Qi and transforming into spirit.

After taking it, it can help with "Qi refining".

Although Refining Qi and Transforming the Spirit is a synonym for a state of mind, it is actually divided into two stages: Refining Qi and Transforming the Spirit.

Refining Qi belongs to the realm of human immortals. Although the holy fetus has been condensed at this stage, it still requires huge amounts of energy to "nourish the spirit" so that the primordial spirit can be refined in the earthly immortal stage.

But these are not the real reasons why Chen Yun looked strange.

The reason why his expression was weird was entirely because the Xizhi fruit was one of the core ingredients used in making the Qi Refining Soup.

“Is this a pleasant surprise?”

Chen Yun felt happy but also a little amused and thought it was such a coincidence.

I have just broken through to the human immortal realm.

Next, I might collect the herbs needed for the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Soup.

As a result, Longhu Mountain just happened to deliver a core medicinal ingredient?
He put the fruit away with satisfaction.

Continue to check out the gifts given by other immortals.

The second thing that was opened was a storage ring.

Chen Yun remembered that this was a gift from his nephew Han Xiangzi's disciples.

To be honest, he didn't have much contact with Han Xiangzi, and he didn't really expect the other party to give him a very good treasure.

What surprised Chen Yun was that when he opened his storage ring and took out the gift, he found that it was another core medicinal ingredient needed for the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Soup.

Gray-black fruits appeared before my eyes.

Chen Yun was stunned, "Isn't this Xianhui?"

How come after opening two "blind boxes" in a row, I happened to find the two core medicinal ingredients needed for the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Soup?
He was a little confused at first.

But when Chen Yun thought about it carefully, he felt that something was unusual.

In order to verify his idea, he opened several "blind boxes" in succession.

All of a sudden, a pile of medicinal materials needed for the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Soup appeared in front of him, including jade loquat, spiritual pepper, spiritual osmanthus grass, and so on.

Chen Yun was really a little confused. He recalled carefully and found that the herbs in front of him, as well as the herbs he collected in the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven, and the herbs transplanted from the Chuandao Temple, were the only herbs needed for the Qi Refining Soup part of the Qi Refining Soup to transform the spirit and spirit, the only herbs missing were the Golden Crow Saliva and the White Cloud Fairy Cattail Root!
The most important thing is that up to now, he still has a lot of "blind boxes" that have not been opened.

"How come these immortals happened to give so many medicinal materials needed for the Qi Refining Soup at the same time?"

Chen Yun thought to himself, "Could it be that, as the Queen Mother of the West said, the Great Dao is in control of things in an invisible way?"

He wasn't sure if it was.

If I open the "blind box" again and can really collect the remaining two medicinal ingredients, then it will be confirmed!
Chen Yun hoped to gather all the herbs needed for the Qi Refining Soup, but at the same time he did not quite hope to be able to do so.

He decided to open all the "blind boxes" to verify whether his guess was correct.
