To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Juezhen pushed the storage bag in front of Gu Fan, slowly withdrew her hand, lightly twirled the prayer beads between her fingertips, and had a gentle smile on her lips.

"Then I shall accept your offer without hesitation."

Gu Fan nodded slightly, picked up the storage bag, and probed into it with his divine sense.

The first thing that came into view was a sealed jade box.

He opened the box and saw a ball of light, a blend of yellow and green, quietly sealed inside, emanating a rich wood-elemental spiritual energy.

"This energy is called Bodhi Pure Energy. It was condensed by the combined efforts of hundreds of monks in this temple and can be considered a top-grade wood element essence. What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Juezhen asked softly.

Gu Fan held the jade box in his palm, lowered his eyes, and examined it carefully.

He had never heard of Bodhi's pure energy before, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Juezhen didn't seem to mind, and sat calmly, letting him examine her carefully.

After a moment, Gu Fan slowly nodded.

Although this wisp of Bodhi pure energy is not as top-tier as the Xuanhuang Mother Energy, its quality is no less than that of Gengjin Yuansui, making it extremely rare.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master."

As Gu Fan spoke, he put away the Bodhi Pure Qi.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, fellow Daoist." Juezhen's smile deepened.

Gu Fan then examined the pills in the bag. They were all of a complete variety, and all were excellent spiritual pills that helped Golden Core cultivators stabilize their cultivation and nourish their origin. There were no abnormalities or flaws, and he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

He carefully put away the storage bag and bowed respectfully.

"Now that this matter is settled, it is time for me to set off and return to my sect."

Juezhen earnestly urged him to stay, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have a kind heart and a deep affinity with our temple. Why not stay for a few days, allowing this humble monk to do my best to be a good host?"

Upon hearing the words "fate," Gu Fan inexplicably pictured a group of devout believers kneeling and kowtowing at the foot of the mountain, and shook his head slightly.

"Having been away from the sect for so long, I am filled with longing and can only fail to live up to the master's good intentions."

Juezhen sighed softly, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not insist on keeping you any longer."

Afterwards, Juezhen and Kongming personally saw them off, traveling together for over a hundred miles before stopping to watch them depart.

Only after Gu Fan's figure completely disappeared into the horizon did Kongming speak up and ask, "Uncle-Master, why not keep him here for a few more days?"

Juezhen narrowed his eyes, his smile deep and enigmatic: "The beginning and end of fate cannot be separated by mountains and seas."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low, slow laugh rang out, and he turned and returned to Jianglong Temple.

Kongming quickly followed.

......

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Fan rode his escape light and landed steadily outside the Cloud Realm Mountain.

Since the Lin family members were not allowed to enter the Lingxiao Sect, he settled them in a town at the foot of the mountain, and then took Lin Chen to the Zixia Temple.

As time goes by, things change and people change.

Wang Jingxuan, the former abbot of Zixia Temple, has long since passed away.

Upon seeing Gu Fan arrive at the mountain gate, the newly appointed abbot quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Disciple Feng Jiangyue greets Senior Uncle."

"Get up." Gu Fan gently waved his sleeve to help the person up, and briefly explained the trivial matters concerning the Lin family's arrangements.

"I will obey my master's decree." Feng Jiangyue readily agreed.

Having said that, he turned his gaze to Lin Chen standing to the side and tentatively asked, "May I ask, Uncle-Master, does this young friend intend to enter the temple for cultivation?"

Having been in charge of Zixia Temple for many years, Feng Jiangyue has seen countless people.

Seeing the curiosity about the immortal path hidden in Lin Chen's eyes, and not being able to detect any trace of cultivation, she instantly guessed the reason and made up her mind to take good care of Lin Chen.

Gu Fan slowly shook his head: "He doesn't need to stay at Zixia Temple."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiangyue immediately understood, assuming that Lin Chen was a top-grade spiritual root immortal seedling who could directly enter the outer sect's three peaks for cultivation.

Lin Chen was unaware of Feng Jiangyue's thoughts.

Upon learning that he could not stay here to cultivate, he felt uneasy, but dared not ask any further questions.

Only after following Gu Fan across the mountains and witnessing the magnificent sight of the Lingxiao Sect shrouded in mist and clouds, its palaces hidden amidst a sea of ​​clouds, did he finally, overcome with awe, cautiously speak. (Book drought? Come on over!)

"Master, you won't let me stay at Zixia Temple. Could it be... that I've done something wrong?"

Gu Fan glanced at the boy out of the corner of his eye, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Zixia Temple is not suitable for you. From now on, you can follow me and cultivate at Wendao Peak."

The reason why it is not suitable is not explained.

The anxiety that had been weighing on Lin Chen's heart suddenly dissipated, and his eyes instantly lit up.

He was no longer completely ignorant of the cultivation world, and realized that cultivating under Gu Fan's guidance would be far more advantageous than staying at the Zixiao Temple. He immediately asked excitedly, "So, young man... can I become your disciple, Immortal Master?"

Looking into the boy's eager eyes, Gu Fan slowly shook his head: "You will formally become his disciple after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage. For now, you can be considered a nominal disciple. Just focus on your cultivation."

Lin Chen paused slightly, his gaze momentarily fixed.

He knew that his own talent was mediocre, not even outstanding among those with inferior spiritual roots, and that establishing a foundation was an unattainable dream for him.

After a brief moment of disappointment, he quickly clenched his fists, his resolve hardening: "There's always a way out. Since the Immortal Master has given me the opportunity to embark on the path of immortality, I cannot back down no matter what!"

Gu Fan did not delve into his thoughts. With a flick of his sleeve, he led Lin Chen straight to Wendao Peak.

In front of Chenxing Pavilion, Qi Lingyun was sitting cross-legged with a jade slip in her hand. When she saw Gu Fan return, her face instantly lit up with joy, and she quickly went to greet him.

"Greetings, Master!"

After bowing, she noticed the unfamiliar young man standing behind Gu Fan, and her eyes widened with curiosity.

"Master, is this the new junior brother?"

"What's the rush?" Gu Fan glanced at his disciple, then suddenly had an idea. He smiled faintly and said, "Since you're hoping to have a fellow disciple to accompany you, then you can teach him from now on. It will also help him to curb his usual lazy nature."

"Master, you are wronged! Your disciple has always been diligent and has never slacked off in cultivation."

Qi Lingyun slightly pursed her lips, her bright eyes looking at Lin Chen with a gentle smile.

The boy's heart tightened, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

"This is my disciple, Qi Lingyun. You can call her Senior Sister," Gu Fan introduced casually.

Lin Chen's cheeks flushed slightly, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Lin Chen greets Senior Sister."

Upon hearing the address "Senior Sister," Qi Lingyun's smile deepened, and she readily agreed, "Don't worry, since Master has given the order, I will definitely guide you in your cultivation."

Gu Fan nodded slightly and secretly instructed Qi Lingyun via telepathy: "Lin Chen's comprehension is extraordinary. You must not show any unusual behavior when you are teaching him."

Qi Lingyun's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Gu Fan and nodded silently. Her gaze then fell on Lin Chen again, scrutinizing him from head to toe, making the young man feel extremely uncomfortable.

"For Master to say that my comprehension is extraordinary, could it be that my comprehension is so dull that I wasn't sent to Zixia Temple?"

The lineage of Wendao Peak, whether it was her, Song Lian, or even Hou Wenzhao, all studied the "Morning Glow Purple Qi Technique" at Zixia Temple before joining Lingxi Peak.

It is both a process of tempering and a way to prove oneself.

Lin Chen was the only one who hadn't yet drawn Qi into his body, yet he bypassed Zixia Temple and the outer sect directly; there must be a hidden reason behind this.

Based on Gu Fan's instructions, Qi Lingyun felt that she had discovered the truth.

After Qi Lingyun led Lin Chen away, Gu Fan did not ascend Chenxing Pavilion, but instead flew towards Yuxu Peak.

Regardless of whether Xie Linyuan can ultimately shatter his core and form a Nascent Soul, this battle has already created turbulent undercurrents in the Western Continent.

The changes to the sacrificial ceremony of the Rebirth Sect must be reported to Qi Zongyuan.

A moment later, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

Qi Zongyuan sat upright in the main seat, listening quietly to Gu Fan's detailed explanation. Even though he had cultivated his composure for many years, he couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes at this moment.

"Is what the elder said true? That True Lord Du Chen of the Qin Kingdom is actually a contemporary of Ancestor Yunxiao?"

"That's right." Gu Fan nodded slightly. "However, Du Chen has completely perished, his soul and spirit destroyed, and there is no possibility of him being resurrected."

Qi Zongyuan nodded with a complicated expression.

The path to immortality is fraught with thorns; no matter how much scheming and plotting one employs, death is inevitable in the end.

With a sigh, Qi Zongyuan said in a deep voice, "This matter is of utmost importance. Please come with me to meet the Supreme Elder."

"Master, is this the new junior brother?"

"What's the rush?" Gu Fan glanced at his disciple, then suddenly had an idea. He smiled faintly and said, "Since you're hoping to have a fellow disciple to accompany you, then you can teach him from now on. It will also help him to curb his usual lazy nature."
