I am collecting entries in reincarnation

No. 888 Constitution House
Following the scholar forward, Li Ming secretly calculated in the moonlight. Now that all these things were in his hands, the difficulty of calculation was reduced sharply, and he soon had a clue.

"I see."

According to Li Ming's calculations, this scholar's ancestor was indeed an immortal. This person achieved enlightenment about a thousand years ago, and by chance, he obtained a legacy, which was said to be passed down from the ancient great master Dayi Zhenjun. This person was also a person with great blessings. Not only did he obtain the relics left by his predecessors, but his practice along the way was also smooth sailing.

After years of seclusion in the mountains, he actually managed to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. In the secular world, he could be called an immortal. He also inherited the ancient Taoist tradition and gained superior merits. When he went down the mountain to travel, he happened to meet his descendants. Unfortunately, none of these descendants had good roots. He had no choice but to leave behind a few Taoist books to explain the cause and effect.

But as the saying goes, things should not be perfect, and people should not be at their peak. He was so blessed that none of his descendants became talented. After three generations, no one was able to practice Taoism. Gradually, no one believed in this.

As for that immortal, although he had gained considerable fame by relying on his extraordinary fortune and superb skills, he did not understand the law of cause and effect. He used up all his fortune and did not know how to accumulate external skills. Later, he met with a disaster and died.

Li Ming followed the clues and figured out that although this person was reincarnated, he left behind relics and inheritance that had never been opened. The reason why he was led here was because he inherited the "Taiyin Zhenwen" and there was a connection between him and his Taoist lineage. Now that he was cultivating Taiyin and Taiyang, this connection drew him here.

Of course, if you want to seize this inheritance, relying on this fate alone is not enough. You must also show kindness to him or his disciples, and establish good karma with them. Only then can you accumulate more and more of this fate and finally take it out naturally.

The one with the closest affinity is naturally the reincarnation of the immortal himself. If one can accept his reincarnation as a disciple and then take him to his cave, it would be a destined fate that no one can stop.

It’s a pity that the immortal has reincarnated for many lifetimes, and Li Ming cannot predict it with his current cultivation level. However, it is undeniable that the scholar in front of him is the descendant of that immortal.

"If you wish to inherit this legacy, you must not only show favor to him, but also find a successor for the ancient great master, the Great Sun True Lord, to ensure the continuity of his lineage. The reason why the previous immortal was defeated was because he only took advantage of the situation without fulfilling the law of cause and effect. These are all debts, and they are piling up. If you can't pay them back, you will naturally be liquidated. It's difficult for independent cultivators. Perhaps this is what they call not knowing destiny."

Li Ming sighed lightly and looked up. The scholar brought him to a big house.

No wonder Mr. Zhao said it was worth eight hundred taels, he was definitely undervaluing it. Just looking at the gate, you can tell that the area it occupies is definitely not small. There are two huge stone lions at the door, which seem to still be telling the scenery of the past, but now it inevitably gives off a sense of dilapidation.

At this moment, the door was closed. The scholar smiled bitterly and said, "My family has fallen on hard times. Please wait for a moment, Taoist priest."

As he spoke, he entered through the side door next to him, and after a while he opened the main door from the inside, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Ming, which was a very polite gesture.

In this era, when important people came, the host would let them go through the main door that was not usually opened in order to show their respect, while the side door and corner door next to it were for servants to go through.

Li Ming nodded slightly at this, and in his heart he recognized the scholar a little more, thinking to himself, "It seems that this opportunity has fallen on him."

He is the direct descendant of that immortal, with a kind character, and is the perfect person to inherit Taoism. If he takes the relics left by that senior, there will be an extra layer of cause and effect. If he does not know how to advance or retreat, he will have to pay back the debt alone. If he accepts the inheritance and throws it away, it will be equivalent to transferring the debt, and there will be no problem even if there is only a little bit left.

There are many senior masters in this world who like to use this method. Why do they leave behind their elixirs and magic weapons after ascending to become immortals? Isn’t it because there are debts hidden in these good things?
If you take this bait, you will have to accumulate merits for this senior for the rest of your life and repay his external merits.

If one doesn't know when to advance or retreat, even the most profound blessings and luck will slowly fade, leading to a tragic end. "This child's physique isn't bad. With my guidance and his ancestral heritage, there's some hope. Thinking about it this way, hey, he won't be at a disadvantage!"

Li Ming thought so in his heart, but his eyes swept across the courtyard. Although it was already midnight, Li Ming's eyesight was so good that he could see things at night as if it were daytime. He felt that the courtyard was really dilapidated. No one took care of it, and there were even spider webs in the corners.

It should be noted that maintaining a business is more difficult than starting a business. Building such a large family business was naturally a lot of hard work, but the subsequent maintenance and upkeep of a house after it is built is also a big expense. For a manor as large as this, if there are not a dozen servants to take care of it, it will not work at all and will soon show signs of desolation.

The scholar took Li Mingchao a few steps inside, and soon an old servant came up to them holding a lantern.

"Sir, why are you still out so late?"

"Uncle Zhong, I have nothing to do, so I went out to relax." The scholar forced a laugh and then introduced himself.

"This Taoist priest and I met by chance, and we had a very pleasant conversation. Coincidentally, he had nowhere to stay, so I invited him to stay at my house."

Uncle Zhong looked Li Ming up and down and found that although Li Ming was young, he had an extraordinary temperament. Besides, the Cheng family had been defeated now, so he spoke in a friendly manner.

"Since he is your friend, it's fine, but our family..."

There was a hint of embarrassment in his words, but Li Ming just smiled and said, "Since I'm staying here for free, I won't let you do it for free. Old man, please prepare some daily necessities for me. They don't need to be expensive, just clean."

As he spoke, he took out a few gold leaves from his waist and handed them over.

"How can this be done?"

Uncle Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You are the young master's friend, how can I take your money? This is absolutely not allowed."

Li Ming, however, pushed it in very forcefully, saying, "Don't be polite. I hate trivial matters like this. If I find that what you prepared is not to my liking, I will not be in a good mood to show you!"

The scholar also sighed, then said, "Uncle Zhong, please accept it. Prepare some toiletries and daily necessities for this Taoist priest. The evening market is still open, so you can go there and prepare food for tomorrow morning."

Seeing the host speak, Uncle Zhong had no choice but to accept the gold leaves and just thanked him again and again.
