This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 92: Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and developing comprehensively
On the morning of the third day after returning to the valley, Zhuang Lin, having not slept all night, looked out the window to the east. The morning glow had already filled the sky.
“Ooooooh—”

The crowing of the rooster spread throughout the entire Hidden Immortal Valley.

In a courtyard, Liu from the Xin'an family and her three children have been living there for the past two days.

Because they were not familiar with the place and were a little reserved due to long-term habits, the family of four did not dare to go out except for the first day when many people came to see them. They just cleaned the house inside and out.

The people in the valley are not ordinary people, and they have received long-term training from the original plan to break the delusion. Of course, they also understand the psychology of strangers.

In addition to Zhuang Lin's reminder, everyone knew that for people with personalities like Liu and her three children, it was best to give them time to slowly integrate and also give them a quiet space. Naturally, the people in the valley would not disturb them too much.

There was no need to worry about food and drink in the valley. Even though the family of four had just arrived and had never farmed in the valley, the food sent by the neighbors was enough for them to eat a combination of meat and vegetables for more than a year.

At this moment, the roosters crowed, but Liu had already gotten up and started to get busy. She first cleaned the house briefly, then started to cook breakfast, and she steamed three eggs very generously.

After preparing breakfast, Liu once again checked her child's package to confirm that it contained the things sent by the neighbor yesterday, mainly the four treasures of the study.

For Liu, today is an extremely important day, as the three children are going to school!
The house is bigger now, but the three children still slept in one room last night. There was some movement in the room now. It was obvious that the children were dressing themselves. They were just as nervous, excited and uneasy as their mother.

In the eyes of Liu and her children, learning literature and calligraphy and receiving the teachings of sages are rights that only children from truly prominent families can have.

If I hadn't come to this wonderland, I wouldn't have dared to dream of such a day.

Soon, all four people in the family had finished breakfast.

But it was still too early, so Liu and her three children sat by the big stone in the yard that served as a table and talked, while she also tidied up the children's clothes.

"Mom, is my hair combed neatly?" "Yes!"

"Mom, my clothes are a little big"

"It's my fault. I'll fix it for you tonight. It's too late today."

"Mom, I'm a little scared!"

"What are you afraid of? My sister is here, and the teacher is such a good person!"

Liu comforted the youngest child and looked at her eldest daughter beside her. However, the eldest daughter was only twelve years old and could not even see her ten years old due to nutritional problems. She was also very nervous.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the half-open courtyard.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Aunt Liu~Are you home? Let's come in~"

As soon as he finished speaking, two little heads popped in through the crack in the door, one above and one below, and looked carefully towards the yard.

Liu suddenly became nervous and quickly stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey, come in, come in, have you eaten? What's your name?"

"My name is Li Hui, you can just call me Hui'er, I've already eaten!" "My name is Mu Hongwen, you can just call me Xiaowen, I've also eaten!"

A little girl and a little boy came in, both of them were young.

Both children are very well-behaved and cautious.

"Aunt Liu, we're here to take Wang Min'er and the others to the cram school. Are they ready?"

While asking the question, the girl also looked at the three children in the yard. The two sisters and one brother were a little panicked and did not dare to look at the people who came. In their eyes, the two children who came were just like the golden boy and jade girl in the fairy tale, born with delicate and exquisite appearance.

Even Liu had similar thoughts when she saw the two children, and even said in her heart that they were not mortal beings.

But it’s no wonder that the family of four thinks so. The appearance of children who have lived in Yinxian Valley for a long time is definitely not comparable to that of the outside world.

Especially after the Taoyuan incident, the spiritual energy in the valley increased greatly. Now, the toxins and impurities in the bodies of the people in the valley, especially the children, have been almost completely eliminated.

This is not just about looking clean on the surface, but about having a feeling of cleanliness and flawlessness when you look at the child's face.

"Aunt Liu?"

The little girl who came asked in confusion, and Liu woke up as if from a dream and quickly responded.

"Oh, it's ready, you guys."

"Well, that's good. Let's go to the cram school together. My mother said we must do it well. If we mess it up, I will be beaten!"

The little girl made a joke and saw the child over there standing there in a daze with his head down, clutching the corner of his clothes. She went over and held the hands of the two little girls on the left and right.

Xiaowen also went over and held the youngest boy's hand.

Seeing that the little boy was still holding his older sister's hand, Xiaowen made a strange joke.

"Done! Now we're all connected and can go to school!"

"Yes, you can go to cram school now."

After a while of commotion in the yard, the five children went out hand in hand. Liu saw them off to the door, her eyes full of worry and joy.

As if she noticed the gaze, Liu looked not far away, where a woman smiled and nodded at her.

In the distance, the sound of children talking could be heard on the road.

"Don't be afraid, no one here will bully you. If anyone dares to do this, come find us!"

"That's right, if we can't handle it, we'll find the Master and see who dares!"

Then there was a burst of silver bell-like laughter.
When it was time for class, Zhuang Lin was very happy that the three siblings could sit relatively calmly in the classroom. Although they still looked a little nervous, they were no longer too afraid.

"I've understood the lessons during this period. Everyone's been diligent, which is great. However, since we have new students arriving today, I won't go into anything too advanced."

Zhuang Lin smiled and looked outside the door.

"Although I still teach normally in Hidden Immortal Valley, everyone knows that this is a blessed place, and sooner or later, we will come into contact with some unusual ways!"

All the students were very excited by the teacher's words. In fact, during the period when the teacher was away, Liu Hongyu had already demonstrated some things. He even took his classmates to fly to the top of a mountain using the power of the formation.

Zhuang Lin glanced at all the classmates and made the decision immediately.

"From today on, teaching will not be limited to the school. We will also assign some tasks on weekdays. Everyone should do what they like. Now, follow me out, we will go find your Grandpa Mu!"

"Ah? Master, grandpa is not at home right now!"

Xiaowen quickly reminded that although there were fewer sick people in the valley, his grandfather had been going out early and coming back late during this period and was very busy.

Zhuang Lin chuckled.

"I'm not going to your house to look for him. Come with me!"

Zhuang Lin walked from the desk to the outside of the classroom. The students, led by Liu Hongyu, stood up and followed him. Hui'er and Xiaowen even took the hands of the three siblings and walked together.

Once outside the school, the students suddenly felt as if their feet were not firmly planted on the ground. The ground was so soft that some of them almost fell down.

Later everyone discovered that the ground outside the school was covered with a layer of fog.

No, that's not fog, that's cloud!
The next moment, everyone screamed and exclaimed in uncontrollable excitement. Everyone knew they were about to take flight, including the three Wang siblings. Amidst the excited exclamations, Zhuang Lin and his students soared into the clouds, flying directly out of the school, out of Tuyue Valley, and into the outside world.
Liu Hongyu stood steadily on the cloud. He stood beside Zhuang Lin with an excitement that he could hardly suppress.

This is flying clouds, one of the immortals’ iconic flying spells in countless myths and legends!

"The so-called driving the clouds is also an extension of the fundamental principle of the five elements, which is the transformation of controlling wood and water.
Riding on the clouds, wind and clouds are inseparable. Clouds are originally water, but magic can condense and disperse them into air. Clouds and water create temperature changes in the sky, and wind belongs to wood and is nurtured there. Thunder is born from clouds, so thunder also belongs to wood, and therefore wind and thunder go hand in hand.

When Zhuang Lin's voice came, the students listened attentively, and some tried to force themselves to remember it immediately.

After Zhuang Lin used flying on clouds as an introduction and briefly explained the basics of the five elements of immortality, the short journey was almost over.

"Look, that's where we're going this time!"

The students all peeked down from the clouds, each one of them very brave. This made the three Wang siblings bolder as well, and they all peeked down from Hui'er and Xiaowen.

There were some strange places in the mountains, which seemed to be emitting rainbow-colored luster under the morning sun. If you looked closely, they looked like some faint halos flowing over the vegetation.

But as the Dharma Cloud gradually lowered, some of the colors seen in the sky became less obvious, and people even thought they were illusions.

Grandpa Mu had just seen that special white cloud coming from the ground. He was frightened and wondered if it was Master Zhuang. Now that the white cloud had descended, he naturally saw Zhuang Lin and a group of children.

"Mr. Zi'an, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Although I knew you were coming, I didn't expect you to appear like this. Hahahahahahaha!"

Mr. Mu came over and saluted, and Zhuang Lin returned the salute while smiling.

"This shouldn't be a strange thing here, so we're here to bother you today!"

"Hahahahaha, what's the point of bothering me? If I can help the kids learn something useful, it's my responsibility as an old man!"

"grandfather!"

Xiaowen shouted and pointed to the side.

"This is our new classmate!"

"Hey, okay, okay, kids, the medicinal garden ahead is what my disciples and I have cultivated together. It's starting to look quite special. When you walk by, be careful not to shout or step on the herbs."

Zhuang Lin looked around and saw that the children stopped looking around and agreed one after another. Then they followed the people in front of them into the medicine garden.

You can't see anything from the air, but when you really enter the medicine garden, you will find that it is a special world of flowers and plants occupying a valley. Waves of changing medicinal fragrance can be smelled everywhere, and all kinds of exotic flowers are blooming everywhere.
There were so many curious eyes that it was hard to keep up, but no one dared to move.

Grandpa Mu also constantly explains some pharmacological knowledge to the children. This is not simply introducing the name and efficacy of certain medicinal materials, but allowing people to understand the origin of the medicinal power and properties from the fundamental principles.

"Although there are many medicinal herbs in the garden, the types are actually limited. Each type of medicinal herb should be cultivated according to the different weather conditions in different places to obtain the corresponding medicinal properties. Planting must also conform to the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons."

Mr. Mu introduced the medicinal herbs and gave explanations as he walked.

"For example, with white peony, do not be greedy for its products and ignore the laws of nature. After a full year and a sufficient supply, in autumn, when the leaves fall and turn yellow, the medicinal energy will be absorbed into the roots and rhizomes. At this time, the white peony spirit is fully gathered, and then it can be carefully dug."

Not to mention the children, even Zhuang Lin was listening attentively, feeling that he had benefited a lot and had a vague understanding of something else.

"So the medicinal herbs cultivated in our valley's herb garden aren't actually rich enough?"

Zhuang Lin asked this question from the side, and Mr. Mu smiled and nodded and shook his head.

"My Hidden Immortal Valley is a place where spiritual energy converges. It's a place blessed by nature. Even if you randomly sow seeds, they will still produce medicine. Sometimes, they even ignore the constraints of cold and heat and can be cultivated with the help of northern and southern herbs. However, in my opinion, although this medicine is good, it still lacks the quality."

"Oh, this is just wishful thinking on my part. We are already far superior to the outside world, how can we expect to be perfect?"

Old Master Mu stroked his beard and sighed, but Zhuang Lin, who was listening, was also attentive.

"It is possible to materialize the Ice Peak and Burning Valley by changing the formation, but it is not the true power of the movement of heaven and earth after all."

Hearing Zhuang Lin say this, Mr. Mu's eyes lit up and he spoke as if he had planned it in advance.

"That's good enough. My request is not high. Mr. Zi'an, can you find a scorching place outside the Fire Valley, or carve out a piece of ice and snow near the northern mountain, which is enough to grow some medicinal herbs?"

Zhuang Lin laughed. How could Mr. Mu know so much? He even chose the place.
When Liu Hongyu saw his master looking at him, he smiled awkwardly.

"I just mentioned it to Grandpa Mu, saying that the formation can control the changes of the four seasons to a certain extent."

"Mr. Zi'an, if you have any difficulties, forget it!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tingwen, it's not difficult at all. Just give it a try after a while!"

The children on the side were also very curious, and all looked confused and impressed.

This day's pharmacology knowledge is enough to learn. The school also arranges students to help Mr. Mu look after the medicine garden in batches. After all, the place is too big, and there is more than one medicine garden.

When they were leaving, Grandpa Mu prepared some medicinal herbs for the three siblings of the Wang family, and told them to go back and ask Liu to boil them to help them regulate their qi and blood.

However, what Zhuang Lin didn't know was that after he returned to Yinxian Valley, the world of Gujin was stirred up quite a bit of waves because of him.

In the area where Yin and Yang are divided in Dangzhong Mountain, there is a temple-like hall. The hall is dark and filled with yin energy, and there are ghost generals and ghost soldiers standing by.

Master Wang, wearing a Netherworld robe, sat behind the head table, looking seriously at a ghost general below.

"Confucian Immortal? Did you see it wrong?"

The ghost will look up and reply.

"There's no way I could have been wrong. When that gentleman's righteous energy was unleashed, it shone brightly. The surrounding ghost dens influenced by the Yin energy were scattered one after another. The change in his aura was truly magnificent, and the entire valley seemed as bright as day!"

"And if I, a young general, can control my anger and maintain a righteous mind and awe, the pressure will be alleviated."

The leader, Master Wang, nodded slightly, and indeed seemed to be a man of great righteousness.

"I didn't expect another Confucian immortal to appear. As the old saying goes, when the world is in chaos, there will be evil spirits, and when the people are in trouble, there will be saints to save them."
-
Similarly, there are two sects in the immortal way that are not peaceful.

When Xun Yangzi and Zhai Yun were about to fight in Tianqiong, they encountered a master who was suspected to be a Zhenyi Dao Lingxiao Saint Realm. This incident has caused an uproar among the upper echelons of their respective sects.

Before that, many practitioners even thought that the so-called "Lingxiao Holy Realm" was actually a realm imagined by those lunatics of the Zhenyi Dao.

After so many years, the Yuanshen realm has indeed been cultivated by the group of people from Zhenyi Dao, and some details have been divided out, but there are not many people in the Yuanshen realm, and all parties actually know how difficult it is.

Because each sect's cultivators practiced their own way openly, many of them secretly imitated each other, which allowed them to learn by analogy.

It turns out that there actually exists a primordial spirit that is suspected to be the "manifestation of the true self"!

For this reason, the top leaders of the two sects, which had a relatively good relationship, even held a meeting at Qianren Mountain to discuss the truth of this matter.

In addition to the masters from the two sects, the attendees also included the new disciple on the white jade boat.

After all the causes and consequences were replayed, although the masters of the two sects did not dare to draw a definite conclusion, their inclinations were actually quite obvious. They even decided to order their disciples to avoid conflicts with fellow Taoists of the Zhenyi Sect as much as possible from now on.

Of course, even without this order, few people would like to provoke the madman Zhenyi Dao.

The meeting lasted for several days, and now only a small number of masters from the two sects were left on the top of Qianren Mountain.

The two sect leaders stood on the peak above the clouds and looked up at the sky, with Xun Yangzi and Zhai Yun beside them.

"People in the True Dao say: Once you reach the holy realm, you can crush the sky."

"It's getting messy."
