Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 15: The Fruit of Tao is Ripening
Fang Sheng walked to the altar and carefully observed the Taoist tablets placed on the table.

Other miscellaneous spiritual roots and immortal seedlings also followed suit.

There is not only the Taoist name engraved on the Taoist sign.

Some will also carry the origin or even the real name of the previous owner.

"If the Dao card contains the origin text, the successor must have the same origin to inherit the Dao name."

"The same goes for names. If a name is written on the tablet, the successor must also have the same name."

Taoist Shuimu gave a reminder from the side.

Fang Sheng suddenly realized that this was why they could not inherit the Taoist cards of the Zheng family.

Because it is marked above that they are from the [Zi Yan Zheng Family].

Next to some Taoist tablets, there will also be a brief introduction to the life of the previous owner of the Taoist name.

"Master Zhuying was born in Liang Country. He participated in the Spirit Testing Conference seventy years ago. He has been practicing diligently since then. He died at the hands of the calamity cultivator 'Shahai' at the age of forty. He was at the fourth level of Qi Refining..."

"Annan Taoist, who liked strange clothes, died in a storm at the age of sixty, and his body was not found. He was at the third level of Qi Refining..."

"Fang Yuan Taoist, this name has been passed down for three hundred years. Three generations have made their own advances and retreats, and they passed away at the age of one hundred..."

He scanned the road signs one by one.

Fang Sheng discovered that some of these Taoist tablets were simple, while others were ornate, and the causes of death of the owners next to them were even more varied.

But they all have one thing in common.

That means their cultivation is not high.

Most of them are at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining.

Not far away, two people suddenly started arguing.

“…I saw it first!”

"I reached out first!"

The target that the two men were fighting for was a Dao tablet, the previous owner of which had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Apart from the Zheng family brand, this brand’s cultivation level is almost the highest.

The sign of Taoist Zhuying that was just shown was soon noticed by someone.

The criteria used by the immortals to choose their Taoist names are obviously based on the level of their cultivation.

Fang Sheng was not satisfied with what he saw, so he stepped back a few steps and had some peace and quiet.

Taoist Shuimu stopped the argument between the two and walked over.

"Mr. Fang, don't you have a Taoist name you like?"

"Ah."

"In that case, you can carve a Dao tablet yourself."

"A cultivator's name is somehow connected to his luck. Inheriting the name of a predecessor is the hope of receiving the blessing of his predecessor's luck in the path of immortality."

"However, sometimes the cause and effect are inherited as well..."

Taoist Shuimu explained.

At this time.

Zhao Miaoyan walked over carefully.

"Senior...is this a Dao card?"

After saying that, he showed the sign in his hand.

Fang Sheng and Taoist Shuimu were both stunned.

It was an ancient black Taoist tablet with the Taoist name Tanjiu.

But there is also a name engraved on the sign.

【Zhao Miaoyan】

It was obviously not the Taoist tablet in Daoyin Hall, and it was even more impossible that it was carved by Zhao Miaoyan on the spot.

"This suddenly fell from the sky before I participated in the Spirit Testing Conference. It also has my name on it. I always thought it was some kind of treasure..."

After hearing what he said, Shuimu Taoist couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

After a long time.

Shuimucai said:
"Some monks attach great importance to the inheritance of their Dao names. Before they die, they will use all means to send their Dao tablets away to prevent them from being destroyed by thieves."

"This card of yours should have been given away by a monk in the mortal world before his death... It just happened to fall in front of you who has the same name..."

This is too much of a coincidence.

So much so that Taoist Shuimu was somewhat suspicious, and looked Zhao Miaoyan up and down:
"Perhaps, this is really your destiny?"

Zhao Miaoyan scratched his head.

"So I will use the Taoist name 'Greedy Wine' from now on?"

"...Of course."

"okay!"

Zhao Miaoyan hung the black Taoist badge around his waist on the spot and swung it around a few times as if to show off.

Fang Sheng felt puzzled.

In his previous life, he had some knowledge of the ordinary cultivators of the Yue Kingdom.

I have never heard that there was a monk in Yue State with the Taoist name "Tanjiu".

Of course, it could also be that this person is not well-known...

An hour later.

Most of the immortal seedlings have chosen their Taoist names.

A few people, like Fang Sheng, did not have a Taoist name they liked and decided to create one for themselves.

Before leaving, Fang Sheng also asked Shuimu for a lot of common sense about the art of cultivating immortals.

To learn a tradition, it is not as simple as getting a few books and practicing them to learn it.

The art of cultivating immortals is an extremely complex subject.

Only through long-term and systematic study can one achieve success.

The alchemists of the Zheng family all start to cultivate the basics at the age of six.

Because the Zheng family's alchemy heritage contains at least 100,000 books, all of which are accumulated over 400 years...

Just to get started with the Dao of Alchemy, one has to read three hundred volumes of books.

These are only the first-level Dan Dao inheritance...

Zhao Miaoyan felt his scalp tingling as he listened.

"Brother Fang, this inheritance sounds too scary!"

Three hundred volumes of books, and it’s just enlightenment!

It would be easier to kill him than to let him recite it.

Fang Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

In this situation, it is extremely difficult for the bottom to stand out.

The first-level inheritance has hundreds of thousands of books. Without a powerful master, how could any cultivator collect them all?
……

Return to Qingfeng Forest.

Fang Sheng sat quietly and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any clue for the time being.

"Let's go ask them tomorrow. They usually issue tasks. We can build friendships with them by completing tasks..."

Whether there is an opportunity or not, at least you have to take action first.

He won't sit here and wait.

Opportunities don't fall from the sky.

As for the rest...

"Continue to practice!"

"Continue to cultivate the Dao Fruit!"

Whatever the situation, there is absolutely nothing wrong with either approach.

……

A blink of an eye.

Nine months passed.

inside the room.

Fang Sheng looked at the blue and red waste pills in the jade box in front of him and took a deep breath.

"absorb!"

It only took a few breaths.

The progress of Shuiyungui Daoguo has come to an end.

On the lotus platform.

At the end of the lotus pattern, a green Taoist fruit blooms with vitality.

The Shuiyun Turtle Dao Fruit is ripe!

Fang Sheng's soul gently reached out and picked the Tao fruit.

Swish!
Just like before, the Tao fruit instantly merged into the soul body.

The ethereal and majestic sound of Tao resounded in my ears, and a sense of enlightenment emerged in my heart...

At the same time, the lotus pattern sent out a message——

[Water Cloud Turtle Dao Fruit Level 1]

[Effect: Born with water nature, slightly increases affinity with water spirit power, can comprehend water-repelling, water shield, and breath-holding skills. ]

[Appendix: The reincarnation of the Shuiyun turtle clan has been enabled (currently the default is reincarnation to the human race)]

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now I have five spiritual roots."

“This progress is not too slow.”

Fang Sheng left Qinglian and his consciousness returned to his body.

Conduct an inspection.

It is indeed easier to mobilize the water spiritual power than before.

"For spells like controlling clouds and rain, I guess I can only reach the mastery level, but no higher."

"After all, I am practicing a fire-based technique, so the blessing of water-based Dao Fruits will not be very effective."

However, now all the useless Dan Xueyao are Shuiyun Turtles.

According to the letter from Acai.

This is because the population of fire foxes bred by the He family in Taoyun Mountain has decreased.

Therefore, until the quantity recovers to a certain level, the He family will no longer sell the Fire Fox Demon Blood.

“There is quite a development plan…”

Fang Sheng shook his head and started practicing the Spirit Fire Sutra again.

The spiritual light emerging from the surface of the body is already one foot thick.

"I had already reached the first level a month ago, but was stuck at a bottleneck. Now that my spiritual roots have improved, I can go into seclusion and try to break through to the second level..."
