I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 7 Entering the mountain and taking advantage of the situation (two in one)

The white clouds are long and the sky and the earth are vast.

The clear lake covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, like a vast ocean, with rolling waves and filled with water vapor, connecting the sky and the earth.

This is an unimaginably huge lake. If one stands on the lake, all he can see is the endless water.

And in the center of the boundless lake is a huge mountain rising from the ground.

This mountain peak has a strange shape, like a scabbard, reaching straight into the sky. The vegetation on the mountain is lush and green, and the aura is like smoke. The water vapor in the sky sweeps up at the foot of the mountain like clouds and mist, reflecting the mountain like a fairyland.

This mountain is tall and can be clearly seen above the lake. To the left and right of this mountain, there are countless scattered islands, scattered and dense, like stars over the moon, guarding this mountain.

"Is this Qingfeng Mountain?"

Looking at the shocking sight in front of him, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Although there were countless beautiful scenery and great rivers and mountains in the previous life, compared with the scenery in this cultivation world, it was still far inferior.

The big lake stretches to the sky, the mountain peaks reach into the clouds, the spiritual energy rolls endlessly like fog, the sky and the earth are clear and bright, and it is a beautiful scenery.

The most important thing is that on the cliffs, places where human power seems to be beyond the reach, there are beautiful buildings and jade buildings, blue palaces and green tiles, carved railings and jade columns, and buildings with high eaves and teeth. They are located in large areas, with the sound of bells and the presence of spiritual birds. , among the layers of clouds and mist, a popularity rose.

When humans and mountains become one, they become immortals!

This place is really a bit fairy-like!

Gu Yuan was stunned for a while, dizzy and sighed again and again.

But after a long time, he finally came to his senses and urged the jade dragon under him to fly towards the tall Qingfeng Mountain.

This is already the third day.

In the past three days, he had almost never stopped. He followed the map and flew all the way, crossing countless mountains and rivers before finally arriving here.

On the way, he encountered almost no risks.

Although there is a map in this, the most important thing is the token.

Although all the power belonging to the golden elixir in the token was removed, the aura of the golden elixir was still there. Gu Yuan held the token, just like the golden elixir passing through the border, and passed through this vast distance unharmed.

"The power of the golden elixir is so terrifying. No wonder he made me worship the mountain with just a token without saying a word!"

Gu Yuan rubbed the token in his hand, looked at Qingfeng Mountain getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but sigh again.

……

"Grandpa, look, there's a dragon flying above!"

When Gu Yuan approached Qingfeng Mountain, he discovered that among the islands scattered around, there were boats of different sizes, sailing along the current towards Qingfeng Mountain.

On the boat, except for some old men, most of them were children with hair tied in their hair. They all stared at Qingfeng Mountain in the distance and Gu Yuan in the sky with their eyes wide open.

"Look, look, there's someone on the cloud over there!"

Some children stretched out their hands and pointed to the sky.

I saw white clouds in the sky in the distance, carrying several young people wearing Taoist robes back leisurely.

"Boom!"

There seemed to be nothing around Qingfeng Mountain, but when the white clouds approached, a ripple appeared, like water, the air swayed slightly, and then several people entered Qingfeng Mountain as if they passed through a thin film. It fell into the mountains and disappeared.

"Hurry up and put your hands down. That's the Immortal Master of Qingfeng Mountain. If we collide, be careful that you will never be able to worship at the mountain gate!"

On the boat, an old man quickly patted the child's hand to avoid offending the immortal master.

"Ah, is that the Immortal Master?"

"But why do I feel that I am not as handsome as the one who rides a dragon? Grandpa, I want to ride a dragon too! Is the one who rides the dragon an immortal master?"

"Shut up! Shut up! If you talk again, I will throw you into the lake!"

The old man on the boat quickly covered the child's mouth and yelled loudly.

In this world, dragons are taboo and must not be mentioned lightly. If they are sensed, they will be struck down by thunder!
  The person who came on the dragon must be a practitioner, but there is a high probability that he is not an immortal master from Qingfeng Mountain. Otherwise, the mountain-protecting formation would have automatically opened and led him into the formation.

But if it weren't for the Immortal Master of Qingfeng Mountain, the casual cultivator who came here at this time would probably have to pay homage to the mountain gate.

As for the rules of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, casual cultivators who want to worship at the gate must go through the assessment like children.

But often the success rate of casual cultivators visiting the mountain gate is not as good as that of a boatload of children, and most casual cultivators leave dejectedly.

But at this time, the child actually asked the other party if he was the "immortal master of Qingfeng Taoist Academy". Isn't this an obvious attempt to embarrass the other party?

Just like at a public examination interview site, you point and ask others if they have preparations.

It would be fine if I passed the exam, but it would be embarrassing if I failed.

"Shut up! From now on, no one is allowed to speak, otherwise no one will be allowed to eat candy in the future!"

The old man scolded them quickly, fearing that these children would say arrogant things again.

Faced with the threat of the sugar man, these children were full of questions, but after swallowing, they finally held back.

……

At this time, Gu Yuan, who was in the sky, also noticed something unusual.

Qingfeng Mountain seemed to be very close, but the closer he got, the more distant it became, as if it could never be reached.

That tall and majestic mountain seems not to be in this world.

The token in his arms seemed to have no effect.

"Haha, Taoist fellows also come here to join the Taoist temple?"

Just when Gu Yuan was confused, laughter suddenly sounded in his ears.

He turned around and saw a young man in white clothes riding a blue crane coming leisurely and standing side by side with him.

Behind the young man who came riding a crane, there were dozens of Qi-refining monks with different costumes and various magical weapons on their feet.

"Fellow Taoist also came to pay homage?"

Gu Yuan nodded first and then asked.

"Yes, all the fellow Taoists behind me have come to pay homage to the temple. Qingfeng Taoist Temple is an illustrious sect spread from the Heavenly Palace. Everyone aspires to it. If you can join it, you will not only have a smooth career, but at least you will have no worries in this life and can be stable. Practice!”

The boy is not old, but his words already have a hint of vicissitudes of life.

Casual cultivators are people with no backing, no resources, and no inheritance. Their lives are miserable!

Just like Gu Yuan in his previous life, a man with no house, no car, and no good job, he was under great pressure.

Every day is precarious.

"If things were fine before, something big is going to happen soon, and the world is about to become unstable. If there is no sect, I'm afraid..."

The young man pointed to the sky, as if he knew what he was saying.

Gu Yuan was puzzled, but he couldn't show it at this time. He could only nod and pretend to agree.

In fact, he had many questions in his mind, such as "Heavenly Palace", "Dragon" and "Taoist Temple". These seemed to be common sense in the practice world, but the Qingmu Sect where he was formerly located did not seem to have taught this kind of knowledge, causing doubts in his mind.

"I don't know, friend, are you following the path of weapon refining, the path of alchemy, or are you following the legacy of your predecessors?"

After some pleasantries, the boy in white rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.

Although Qingfeng Taoist Temple recruits some casual cultivators every year, there is a quota limit.

Either he has a unique talent, he is good at practicing various arts, or he has the legacy of his predecessors, otherwise he will hardly be included in the door.

Seats are limited and competition is naturally fierce.

Therefore, the boy in white was eager to ask for information about Gu Yuan and learn more about this competitor.

When Gu Yuan heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly: "I am not one of these three ways."

"Did fellow Taoist have treasures and stars to offer?"

The young man was slightly startled, looking extremely shocked, and asked again.

"Nothing!"

Gu Yuan shook his head again.

"Brother Bai Dao, can't you see how this guy was flying on a dragon just now? He doesn't even know the mountain protection formation of Qingfeng Taoist Temple. It's obviously his first time to worship the mountain. He probably heard it from somewhere. The news came by accident, why are you talking to him?"

The young man in white wanted to ask something more, but behind him, a gorgeous female cultivator dressed in a gorgeous dress already smiled disdainfully. "That's right, no matter what he does, Daoist brother Bai is only twenty years old and has already mastered the refining of middle-grade magic weapons. With this talent, he can definitely pass the examination and be admitted to the Taoist Academy!"

"Oh, I'm afraid I will become a foil when I wait for this trip!"

"Brother Bai, after you enter the Taoist Academy, don't forget us. We will meet more often in the future and exchange weapon refining experiences!"

Behind the female cultivator, several Qi-training cultivators also looked over, with a hint of compliment in their tone.

Hearing this, a trace of complacency flashed in the eyes of the young man in white, but he suppressed it.

"Haha, you guys are so ridiculous. The Qingfeng Taoist Academy exam is so difficult. I don't dare to say that I will pass it, but I just try my best!"

He cupped his hands towards the crowd with a humble tone, and then turned his head to look at Gu Yuan with a hint of superiority in his eyes:
  "This is your first time to visit the temple, fellow Taoist? It's normal to be a little confused. Don't panic. Just wait here. A deacon from the Personnel Hall will come out to greet you later. At that time, just follow the steps to take the assessment. The assessment is divided into three steps and sixteen methods. You must pass sixteen levels in one go before you can be successfully admitted to the hospital. The first level is naturally the life experience level. The inspection..."

The young man in white became more and more enthusiastic, shaking his head and introducing.

The sense of superiority in his body became stronger and stronger.

But at this moment, ripples suddenly swayed in the air, and then a middle-aged monk wearing a black monk's robe with nine thin cyan lines on the cuffs, which resembled the pattern of emerald green branches, flew out on a silver boat.

"The deacon from the Personnel Hall is out!"

"Why is it so early this year? Logically speaking, it should be half an hour away?"

Among the casual cultivators, the sound of discussion suddenly came.

The young man in white also stopped introducing, because he discovered that the deacon actually cut into the crowd and came towards him.

The eyes of all the casual cultivators also followed.

He was surprised and happy in his heart. Although he knew it was impossible, he was still excited. He cleared his throat and prepared to salute.

"Xiabai..."

But at this moment, the deacon spoke first: "Are you the person recommended by Elder Fox to enter the mountain? Do you have a token?"

Elder Fox?
  Token?

The young man in white was slightly startled.

But there was already a voice in my ear that answered: "Here is the token, please take a look at it, senior."

The young man in white turned his head and saw Gu Yuan taking out a bronze medal engraved with green vines and handing it to the deacon.

The deacon did not dare to neglect, took it with both hands, took a cautious look, then put it in his arms, and looked at Gu Yuan gently:
  "Since it is recommended by Elder Jindan, please follow me into the mountain!"

Recommended by Elder Jindan?
  All the casual cultivators widened their eyes, as if doubting their ears again.

Especially the boy in white looked at Gu Yuan in disbelief.

Gu Yuan glanced at the young man in white, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes. He bowed respectfully to the deacon and asked, "Disciple heard that there are three steps and sixteen steps required to enter the mountain, don't you know?"

The deacon waved his hand and said directly: "That is an assessment for casual cultivators. You are the master of Jindan who was introduced to the mountain gate. There is no need for an assessment. Just follow me into the personnel hall, enter the roster, and kneel down to worship the ancestor!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to call, and Gu Yuan followed him into the silver boat. Then the two of them turned into a stream of light and headed towards Qingfeng Mountain.

Only a group of casual cultivators were left, looking at each other.

The young man in white turned red, ashamed and angry.

Damn it, he’s actually a connected person!
  Gan!
  No wonder there is such a majestic magic weapon!
  Thinking back to his actor-like performance just now, the young man in white wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

At the same time, there was a feeling of fear in his heart, worrying about whether he might offend Gu Yuan.

But recalling Gu Yuan's last deliberately teasing question, I suddenly felt relieved again.

"If you can show your dignity to the people in this relationship and make them smile, this matter should be considered cleared."

"Alas, ten years of refining qi is not as good as a token..."

As he thought about it, he felt helpless again.

……

……

Gu Yuan deliberately teased, but it was just to relax the tense emotions that had been tense for many days, and he didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, he was following behind the deacon, watching everything in front of him intently.

Only by truly entering Qingfeng Mountain can you appreciate the majesty of this mountain.

People are like ants among them. Huge peaks reach straight into the sky. In the mountains, you can't even see the end of the top of the mountain.

As far as the eye can see, there are attics everywhere, auras like smoke, cranes flying together, and a magnificent waterfall falling from the top of the mountain, splashing a huge rainbow that seems to never dissipate, just like a dream.

"This Qingfeng Mountain was moved from the Central Earth Divine Realm by the founder of our academy for nearly ten thousand years."

Although the deacon had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was very gentle to Gu Yuan because of the golden elixir. He pointed at the green mountains in front of him and introduced them with a smile.

"The personnel hall, transfer hall, formation hall, etc. in the Taoist courtyard are all located in this mountain."

"Behind this mountain, there are seven peaks and thirty-six islands, which are the training places for the disciples of the Seven Meridians and the elders of Jindan."

"After you worship at the mountain gate, you will be assigned to one of the peaks or an island. There will be a cave on it for practice."

"By the way, did Elder Fox say that he would accept you as a disciple? Or arrange for an elder to accept you as a disciple?"

After a brief introduction, the deacon suddenly changed the subject and asked Gu Yuan.

"The Master said, the word opportunity."

Gu Yuan pondered slightly, but still spoke truthfully.

"That's it..."

The deacon nodded slightly, but the enthusiasm in his tone suddenly dropped a bit.

Chance means you have to rely on yourself and I don’t care.

But after all, it was Jin Dan who introduced him. His attitude was not cold, but he was a little more unfamiliar than before. He once again introduced the surrounding scenery, and then asked casually:

"Junior brother, you have such a good opportunity. How do you get into the Master's eyes? Elder Fox has always been very discerning!"

When Gu Yuan heard this, he already understood.

Master Jindan has a very high status, and with a command, those below must follow the order, but the master cannot explain why this order comes.

At the very least, the deacon didn’t know.

But the people below, if they want to do things beautifully, they have to grasp the scale.

The deacon was making insinuations just to find out the true relationship between him and the Master, so that he could decide his attitude toward himself.

This attitude is related to one's own interests.

Gu Yuan didn't know how many steps there were in the process of worshiping at the mountain gate, but judging from the appearance of the casual cultivator before, it was obviously a bit circuitous.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for him to tell the truth.

If he had told him, others would immediately know that he and the Master had already had their karma, and it would be almost impossible for them to have a relationship if they met by chance.

But he must not lie, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the Master.

In this case, fortunately I won’t say anything.

If you don't tell me, there will be no answer. There is no answer. In order not to offend the Master, you must come up with a sound plan.

"Senior Brother Mingjian! This matter is a personal matter. Without the Master's instructions, Junior Brother dare not speak nonsense. If Senior Brother wants to know, you can ask the Master!"

Gu Yuan borrowed the donkey from the slope and called him senior brother with a respectful attitude, but he never told the truth.

And his reasons are extremely reasonable.

This matter is indeed related to the personal relationship between Master's disciples. The Master did not ask me to publicize it. I did not say it out of respect for the Master.

"Haha, since it's a personal relationship with the Master, then that's all. Come on, come on, ahead is the Personnel Hall, junior brother, follow me!"

Seeing that he didn't get an answer, the deacon stopped pressing, but he had already decided in his heart to wait for Gu Yuan until everything became clear.

Anyway, all the resources spent are from the hospital, and they are given to everyone the same.
