Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Xuanzhen Mountain.

It has been several hundred years since the True Lord Taiyue came from the north and established the Xiuyue Sect on this mountain.

The Xiuyue Sect has few disciples and is difficult to find, and it is relatively lenient towards the mortal families under its rule, not treating them harshly.

Of the three sects and seven schools in the Yue Kingdom, the Xiuyue Sect in Jiangbei has the best reputation.

At this moment, amidst the swirling clouds and gusts of north wind atop Xuanzhen Mountain, Jiang Heqian was bowing respectfully in the Immortal Temple, awaiting a reply from the Supreme Yuan Immortal.

In the temple, you could hear a pin drop.

Upon hearing this, the white mist on Shangyuan Zhenren's face surged violently. He looked Jiang Heqian up and down for a moment before speaking in a gentle tone:

"You have good talent and excellent temperament. Get up. You don't need to be so reserved when you see me."

Jiang Heqian straightened up, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood to the side like a good student.

Lin Jueyin, dressed in a dark blue Buddhist robe, curiously sized up Jiang Heqian. After looking him over, she didn't find anything special and thought to herself:

"He is quite handsome, but for a cultivator of the Jade True Path, changing one's appearance is a piece of cake..."

Seeing that Nian Yi and the other two were standing respectfully, Master Shangyuan hung the wooden sword in his arms back at his waist and went straight to the point:

"I have called you here today to arrange two things. First, Jiang Heqian, you need to master the two Jade True Purple Mansion Secret Techniques that I taught you within four years at Xuanzhen Mountain. Second, you need to deepen your relationship with Lin Jueyin."

At first, Jiang Heqian nodded earnestly as he listened, but later, he looked up in astonishment and said:

"what?"

Lin Jueyin, standing to the side, was also shocked. Pointing at herself, she asked incredulously:

"Master, did I hear that right? You want me to get to know this Fellow Daoist Jiang better?"

Nian Yi stood aside with a strange expression, never expecting that her usually approachable master would make such a request.

He was completely baffled and looked at the Supreme Master Shangyuan beside him, waiting for him to speak.

Without uttering a word of explanation, Shangyuan Zhenren lightly tapped his fingers, and with a flash of Yuzhen divine power, the temple turned bluish-white.

Time seemed to stand still, and Nian Yi and Lin Jueyin stood there like statues.

A gentle male voice reached Jiang Heqian's ears:

"I'll tell you, and you'll remember: the two secret techniques of the Purple Palace from the *White-Haired Knocking on the Court Scripture* are..."

He didn't know how much time had passed when the sound in his ear stopped, and the magical light of the Jade True Divine Power in front of him vanished instantly.

Jiang Heqian's heart was in turmoil, but he forced himself to be overjoyed.

He was about to express his gratitude when he discovered that the Immortal Shangyuan in the temple had already departed using his supernatural powers.

Only Nian Yi and the other two remained standing there, staring at each other, utterly bewildered.

Upon receiving the secret method of Yuzhen Zifu, Jiang Heqian felt a surge of gratitude. This would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble, and he could also clear the name of the secret method.

As long as he doesn't deliberately show it, no one will notice anything unusual.

The two Purple Mansion Secret Techniques are 【White Jade】 and 【Court General】, both of which are Purple Mansion Secret Techniques that accompany the "White-haired Knocking Court Scripture". They are not profound and seem too simple compared to the other two techniques in his hand, 【Jade Body】 and 【Brocade Transformation】.

Presumably because the "White-haired Knocking Court Sutra" itself is not of a high grade, the Supreme Yuan Immortal only transmitted two accompanying secret methods.

Given Jiang Heqian's current level of spiritual wisdom, it would take him no more than three years to master these two secret techniques.

Moreover, he can continue to improve his spiritual wisdom during his cultivation.

Mastering those two Purple Mansion Secret Techniques will only be faster.

Seeing that Master Shangyuan had left, Nian Yi was the first to joke:

"Shall I address you as junior brother or fellow Daoist?"

He had a smile on his face, as if he had thought of something extremely happy.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Fellow Daoist Nian, this is no joke. Senior Shangyuan never said he would accept me as his disciple. Fellow Daoist Nian, it would be better if we addressed each other as fellow Daoists."

He mentally scoffed, thinking to himself:

"Nian Yi, your scheme is really outrageous! You want me to call you 'Senior Brother'? Not a chance right now. Don't even think about it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jueyin chuckled softly and said:

"Alright, Senior Brother Nian, stop teasing this Fellow Daoist Jiang. You know Master's character; he wouldn't take such a big matter as accepting a disciple so easily."

"However, this Fellow Daoist Jiang is quite fortunate, as his master personally met with you and explained the secret techniques."

"And...and to further our relationship, Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you know why?"

As she finished speaking, Lin Jueyin's voice trembled, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian carefully examined the female cultivator in front of him.

She was dressed in a dark blue monastic robe, with skin as white as snow, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and long, black hair cascading over her shoulders.

She has the appearance of a fairy who is completely detached from worldly affairs.

He looked at the female cultivator before him and thought to himself:

"What else could it be? Your surname is Lin, and mine is Jiang. That's the reason. The Jade True Lord Yuwei of the Yuan Mansion, whose original name was Jiang Qing, has a Daoist partner surnamed Lin. It seems that the Supreme Yuan True Man intends to mentor me."

"Playing the role of Dao Yang Zhenjun on his path to enlightenment, thereby gaining the favor of the remaining officials, is currently the best choice. It can conceal my own strangeness, gain the support of Shangyuan Zhenjun, and dispel the suspicions of the other officials."

"Besides, dating Lin Jueyin would increase my chances of achieving the rank of Yu Zhenyu, so why not?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Heqian found Lin Jueyin more and more beautiful, and said in a gentle tone:

"I am unaware of this, but Master Shangyuan has his reasons for making this arrangement."

Lin Jueyin frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly seemed to understand, putting the matter aside and saying:

"Master just said that Fellow Daoist Jiang must master two secret techniques within four years at Xuanzhen Mountain. Fellow Daoist, you must work hard."

Upon hearing this, Nian Yi, who was standing to the side, felt that she could finally get a word in edgewise and quickly spoke up:

"Junior Sister Lin, you don't know this, but this Fellow Daoist Jiang is exceptionally talented and his Jade True Dao cultivation is stronger than mine. It shouldn't be difficult for him to master two Purple Mansion Secret Techniques within four years."

Jiang Heqian has the ability to absorb moonlight and enhance his Dao wisdom with the Yandao Jade, and he is also blessed by the Purple Mansion Secret Techniques [Jade Manifestation Steps] and [Xingzhen Xuan].

He can naturally master those two simple Purple Mansion Secret Techniques by then.

Jiang Heqian smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying:

"I will do my utmost to master the secret technique as soon as possible."

Judging by the timeline, it will be about ten years before Shangyuan Zhenren attains enlightenment in Beihai, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

After mastering the two Purple Mansion Secret Techniques given by the Supreme Yuan Immortal, return to Milin County and master the [Jade Body] and [Brocade Transformation] Secret Techniques.

He then broke through to the Purple Mansion realm, just in time to catch up with the Supreme Primordial True Man and attain the Jade True Fruit position.

Presumably, by then, the Jade True Fruit will be widely recognized in the world, the Jade True Dao will be flourishing, and it will be easier for Jiang Heqian to break through to the Purple Mansion and manifest the Jade True supernatural powers.

Once you get past the hurdle of developing supernatural powers, the rest depends entirely on your mindset.

Jiang Heqian was not worried about that ignorance and boundless fantasy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jueyin carefully examined Jiang Heqian and found him to be natural and full of confidence.

She nodded and made it into her mind.

At this moment, Nian Yi, who was standing to the side, spoke up and suggested:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no rush in cultivating the secret method. Junior Sister Lin, I'm giving you a task: take Fellow Daoist Jiang on a good tour of Xuanzhen Mountain today, and he can come back to the temple to cultivate tomorrow."

Lin Jueyin, dressed in a dark blue monastic robe, smiled and readily agreed:

"Brother Jiang, today Jueyin will take you to visit Xuanzhen Mountain."

Jiang Heqian readily agreed, for with such a beautiful woman by his side, he would gladly comply.

Then the two rode the wind to a scenic spot on Xuanzhen Mountain.
