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

Chapter 491: Full of Admiration

Everyone looked at Chen Yun's face, wanting to know how he could turn the Living Willow into a living willow.

Chen Yun said calmly, "I remember there is a pond in front of this palace, but Your Majesty, please lend me a bamboo fishing rod so that I can catch a few live fish."

what?
Do you want to catch cutlassfish from the pond outside?

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and a group of civil and military officials were all stunned where they were.

Zhulihunhe, Master Cixian, Li Ming and other monks were all shocked.

Nihe and Xihe were the same, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

If Chen Yun took a photo of the cuttlefish from a distance, everyone would be able to understand it.

After all, he was an immortal, so it was natural for him to catch a live cutlassfish from the East China Sea across thousands of mountains and rivers.

But isn’t it too much of a joke that you want to catch a few live hairtails from the pond outside?
Who doesn't know that cutlassfish lives in the sea?

How is it possible for fresh water to appear in an inland city like Luoyang?
What's more, the pond outside the Daming Palace is not real living water, but artificially constructed fake spring water.

There aren’t even any farmed fish in there, so how is it possible to catch cutlassfish?

The whole group of people were extremely puzzled.

It's just that everyone has just witnessed Chen Yun's various miraculous methods, and knows that his methods are earth-shattering and he will not do anything without reason.

Therefore, everyone was curious and wanted to see how Chen Yun caught cutlassfish from the pond outside.

Li Conghou had the same idea as everyone else.

Curiosity drove him to call his servant immediately.

He brought a fishing rod made of pure gold.

Chen Yun weighed it in his hand for a moment, then walked straight outside.

"Follow."

"Follow up."

"I really want to know how Chen Xian fishes for willows from the fake spring."

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and other civil and military officials were extremely curious and could not wait to follow Chen Yun outside.

Nihe and Xihe also had curious eyes, staring at Chen Yun who was sitting next to the gushing fake spring pond.

Chen Yun casually threw the empty fishing hook into the pond.

The next moment, everyone was surprised to find that the fish float moved.

"Ouch!"

“The float really moved!”

"Could it be possible that Chen Xian can really fish out a willow from this pond?"

Seeing this, everyone opened their eyes wide, afraid of missing any details that followed.

At this time, Chen Yun casually pulled up the fishing rod.

A live cutlassfish with its body sparkling with silver light.

It actually bit the hook and was caught!

One of the military officers was shocked and cursed, "Oh my god, Chen Xian's magic is too magical, he actually caught a live willow from the fake spring pond?"

Li Congke widened his eyes and said, "Hiss, Chen Xian's immortal family method is really jaw-dropping!"

Shi Jingtang took a deep breath and said, "It's more than just jaw-dropping. I almost thought I was dreaming!"

The same was true for Li Conghou, the rest of the civil and military officials, and the royal family.

Everyone present could not help but be delusional and thought they were in a dream.

It is hard for them not to think so, since this is an inland city, thousands of miles away from the sea!
It can be said that Chen Yun's action of fishing for live hairtail today really shocked everyone present.

This was even more astonishing than the immortal methods he had just demonstrated, and it shocked everyone physically and mentally.

Not to mention these mortals, even Nihe and Xihe were secretly surprised in their hearts.

But they had been keeping an eye on Chen Yun and knew that the other party did not try to cheat, but actually used a fishing rod to catch a live hairtail in the pond!

With such means, the two immortals Nihe and Xihe felt inferior to them.

Amid the noise of surprise from the crowd, Chen Yunduan, who was sitting over there, caught a dozen live hairtail fish in an instant.

When he caught the tenth cutlassfish, he immediately stopped.

He stood up and handed the golden fishing rod to the servant beside him.

Chen Yun said to Li Conghou, "Your Majesty, if we have the live willow, we still need something to remove the fishy smell so that it can be delicious. Can you think of something to remove the fishy smell?"

"Ah? Oh." Li Conghou came to his senses and said quickly, "Reporting to Chen Xian, this old ginger should be able to remove the fishy smell."

Chen Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "I finally caught ten live fish with willows. If I use old ginger to remove the fishy smell, it would be a waste of the freshness. It's not right, it's not right."

Li Conghou is not a cook, so he really can't think of anything else.

The situation is similar for others.

Everyone has fine clothes and delicious food, so who would care about what to use to remove the fishy smell?

Fortunately, the imperial chef was nearby. Seeing everyone frowning, he quickly called out, "Chen Xian, I heard that this purple sprout ginger recipe is a magical thing that can remove fishy smells, but I don't have it in my imperial kitchen. Otherwise, I could use it to remove fishy smells."

Chen Yun laughed and said, "Just know what is good for removing the fishy smell."

Li Conghou quickly asked, "Chen Xian, do you have a way to get the purple sprout ginger recipe?"

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and others all widened their eyes.

They had seen too many amazing things about Chen Yun tonight, so they naturally wanted to see more. Nihe and Nihe were the same, looking over with interest.

Chen Yun said: "Ask someone to bring a pottery basin filled with soil, and I will plant the purple sprout ginger recipe right away."

The imperial chef couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to plant it now? Purple sprout ginger is a plant that only matures once a year."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Yier, just fetch the pottery basin."

The imperial chef was still a little bit skeptical, so he quickly fetched a clay basin filled with soil.

Chen Yun took the pottery basin and waved it with the sleeve of his Taoist robe.

A magical scene suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.

In the pottery pot that Chen Yun waved his sleeves over, roots and sprouts suddenly and inexplicably appeared, and then a purple sprout ginger gradually grew out!

Li Conghou took a breath of cold air and asked in shock, "Excuse me, Chen Xian, what kind of magic is this that is so mysterious?"

Nihe and Xihe looked towards Chen Yun's face in surprise and doubt.

As things have developed tonight, they really have no idea what kind of magic Chen Yun has used.

Even the two immortals Nihe and Nihe were like this, not to mention mortals like Li Congke and Shi Jingtang.

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Chen Yun had to say.

Chen Yun deliberately said mysteriously: "The great magic of the immortals cannot be spoken of casually."

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, everyone showed disappointment, and at the same time, they became more awed by the unknown.

Of course, Chen Yun would not tell everyone that, in fact, whether he had just fished out the hairtail from the pond or made the purple ginger sprouts grow in the pottery basin, they were actually inseparable from the magic of "summoning".

This magic can summon what you need from thousands of miles away without being noticed.

This is how live hairtail comes about.

In addition, he only caught ten live cutlass fish.

It is because he knows that he has attained the Tao and has become an immortal, so he cannot use his magic to harm mortal beings.

Otherwise it will be recorded in the Heavenly Palace's Gongcao Book.

For these ten cutlass fish, he still tried every possible way and asked the previous hunter to release rabbits for ten consecutive days in exchange for no burden.

This is a kind of opportunistic approach, taking advantage of the rules between responsibilities.

Otherwise, if he wanted to eat hairtail, he could only use mortal means to salvage it from the East China Sea, and he could not use magic to catch it.

As for the purple sprout ginger recipe, Chen Yun not only used the technique to attract the seeds, but also used the spiritual energy of the "Way of Life" that he had realized to make the seeds grow quickly.

These methods look magical.

In fact, if it is revealed, that's it.

Precisely because he wanted to maintain the mystery, Chen Yun did not reveal anything to anyone.

Maybe he was being too secretive.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the hall, and not only Li Conghou, Li Congke and Shi Jingtang, but also a group of mortals were trying to curry favor with them.

Even Nihe and Xihe became more intimate than before.

The dinner ended with cheerful compliments to Chen Yun.

……

night.

Lu Li, Ni He, Xi He and others returned to the embassy.

Nihe and Nihe, who had been silent all the way, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as soon as they returned to the house.

Ni He looked at Chen Yun and sighed, "Master Chen's wonderful method today really opened my eyes."

Ye He also seemed to be very impressed and said, "Yes, my brother and I are far superior to you, Master Chen, in terms of cultivation, but to be honest, we are powerless to do the same as you did before."

Chen Yun said modestly: "I just happen to know a little bit about magic, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this, it's all thanks to the wisdom of our predecessors."

Although Nihe and Xihe knew that Chen Yun had indeed used some magical techniques that they were unfamiliar with.

But they knew in their hearts that not everyone could learn this extremely mysterious technique.

Of course, they were very rational. Even though they were very curious about what kind of magic Chen Yun used, they never asked.

After all, these are other people's trump cards, how can you just ask them casually?
It's nothing for ordinary people like Li Conghou, Li Congke and others to ask.

Aren't the questions asked by Nihe and Xihe trying to find out Chen Yun's background?
Nihe and Xihe have lived for thousands of years, but they really cannot do such a thing that would offend others.

After a while, the two stopped praising.

He frowned and said, "Master Chen has performed so many magic tricks tonight, I don't know if it has impressed Li Congke. If he is not impressed, we will have to find another way."

He said, "Hey, dear brother, what are you talking about? Chen Zhenren's Dharma is so mysterious that even an ordinary person like Li Congke would be shocked, not to mention Li Congke. Are you afraid that he will not be convinced?"

He said this to give face to Chen Yun.

In fact, Niehe was not sure whether Li Congke would be attracted by this and then be used by them.

Chen Yun seemed unhurried and said calmly, "I have predicted that he will come tonight, but it is still early now. He is afraid of being noticed and dare not come to ask for advice immediately. In my opinion, he will come in disguise after midnight."

Seeing Chen Yun speak so confidently, Nihe and Xihe felt a little relieved, but they did not believe it completely.

People’s hearts are hidden. How do they know whether Li Congke has the courage to come to Chen Yun for help?

That’s exactly what Nihe and Xihe thought at the time.

However, what surprised them was that after midnight, Li Congke really did as Chen Yun said, disguised himself and sneaked into the embassy's office!
When Nihe and Xihe learned about this, they were immediately impressed by Chen Yun's brilliant strategy.
