Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 5 Lychee
Lu Dongbin is not only one of the Eight Immortals.

In Taoism, its status is extremely high.

Because Lu Dongbin is one of the founders of the Danding Sect.

This is not the most exciting thing for Chen Yun.

The most exciting thing for him was that Lu Dongbin's master was Han Zhongli, who was also one of the Eight Immortals!

Zhongli of the Han Dynasty, whose real name was Zhongli Quan, also named Yunfang and Jidao, also known as Zhengyangzi and Heguzi, was a native of Xianyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

According to the information learned by Chen Yun in modern society, Zhongli Quan was originally a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he was also called Han Zhongli.

This man was young at literature, especially fond of grass sage. He was eight feet tall, and was promoted to the rank of general. He later attained enlightenment in Yangjiao Mountain due to a military defeat.

If we look at mythological records, one says that Zhongli Quan was enlightened by Tieguai Li, the leader of the Eight Immortals, and the other is that he was enlightened by Wang Xuanfu. During the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Xuanfu was named the Shaoyang Emperor of Donghua Purple Mansion, that is, Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Emperor. Emperor Hua is the prototype of Duke Dong, and Zhong Liquan became an immortal because of it.

But judging from Taoist records, Zhong Liquan's status is extraordinary.

This man is the second ancestor of the Quanzhen Northern Sect, the founder of the Neidan Sect, and the true master of alchemy.

The first ancestor of the Quanzhen Northern Sect was Wang Xuanfu.

Recalling what the third master said when he left Daheishan before, it proves that Zhongli Quan is one of the Eight Immortals.

Chen Yun's heart started beating unsatisfactorily.

As long as Wang Xianchang is willing to buy him out, he can become the chief worker of the medicine garden under this holy disciple!
If one day I learn some inner alchemy techniques from Zhong Liquan, I will definitely be able to live forever!
What a temptation it is to live forever!

That is something that emperors for generations have dreamed of!
With excitement and anxiety, Chen Yun kept staring at Wang Xianlong.

After Wang Xianchang looked at him for a long time, maybe he really liked him, so he looked at the third master and said bluntly: "Shopkeeper, this kid is quite smart. I like him very much. Please give me a price." As long as it's suitable, I won't hesitate to buy him."

The third master really didn't want to sell, but he couldn't afford to offend Wang Xianchang in front of him, so he took a breath and deliberately quoted a higher price, "50 taels..."

He originally thought that Wang Xianchang would be dissatisfied with the high price, and then give up after a few words.

Unexpectedly, before Third Master finished speaking, Wang Xianchang said without hesitation: "Okay."

bought?

Did Wang Xianchang really buy me?

Chen Yun was overjoyed.

……

Head out of the city.

Chen Yun still feels a little dreamy.

He never imagined that he would actually come into contact with an immortal.

"Xian Chang, thank you for spending a lot of money to buy me."

"Haha, everything depends on fate. You are worth 50 taels of silver. Oh, by the way, now that you have entered the Taoist temple to work, you can just call me senior brother from now on. There is no need to call me immortal."

"Ok."

The two walked and chatted.

During this period, Wang Xianchang told Chen Yun that his real name was Wang Laozhi, who was originally from the Song Dynasty and later became Zhong Liquan's disciple, so he came to Zhongnan Mountain.

Perhaps it was Chen Yun's deliberate guidance.

The content of the two people's chat gradually changed from understanding each other's information to achieving enlightenment and becoming immortal.

"There are thousands of great methods in the world, and I don't know all the other immortality schools." Wang Laozhi put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "The immortality art of my inner alchemy sect has six realms, which are hundred-day foundation building and grain refining. Jing, refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into void and refining void into Tao.”

what!
Is it the same as the realm recorded in the copper furnace?
Chen Yun felt increasingly that the copper furnace was unusual.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "What's so special about the six realms?"

Wang Laozhi walked forward slowly, "Ordinary people can avoid all kinds of diseases by building the foundation for a hundred days. If they can refine grain into essence, they will become strong and strong. Refining essence into Qi is the key to cultivating true Qi. Many people are unable to refine Qi in their entire lives, let alone refine Qi to transform into God, refine the Golden Pill, and refine God to create Yang Shen.”

Speaking of it.

Wang Laozhi suddenly turned around and showed an inexplicable smile, "If you cultivate the golden elixir, you will be an immortal. Invulnerability to water, fire, and invulnerability are the most basic. It can also move mountains and seas, and move stars."

what?
Is Golden elixir so awesome?
Chen Yun's eyes suddenly widened and he asked curiously: "Where is Yang Shen?"

Wang Laozhi said with a solemn expression: "The Yang God leaves the body and is as blazing as the scorching sun at noon in June. As long as it is not destroyed by external forces, the world can basically live as long as the world."

Hiss, the sun god will live as long as the sky?
Chen Yun was shocked and fascinated by Wang Laozhi's words.

Suddenly, he thought of another thing, "Hey, Senior Brother Wang, didn't you just say that there is Lianxu Hedao on top of Lian Shenhuanxu? What's so magical about this Lianxu Hedao?"

"Hahaha." Wang Laozhi laughed, "Refining the Void and Combining the Dao is the highest state of my alchemy practice."

As he spoke, he pointed at the sky, "Refining the Void and He Dao can shatter the void and ascend to the fairyland, invincible to all evils, indestructible to all calamities...eternal and immortal!"

wonderland?

Is there really a fairyland in this world?

Chen Yun was stunned.Wang Laozhi said with emotion: "My mentor has long been cultivating the Tao of Xu and He. In the fairyland, he also has an incarnation of a god. He is the enlightened and preaching true king of Zhengyang, who is often said to be one of the eight immortals."

shit.

Is Zhongli Quan so obsessed with it?

Chen Yun had long known that he had hugged a thigh.

But I never expected this thigh to be so thick.

And what made him a little confused was that didn't the Third Master say that Zhong Liquan was the human incarnation of the Zhengyang Enlightenment and Preacher True Lord, one of the Eight Immortals?
Why did Wang Laozhi say the opposite?

He asked this question out.

Unexpectedly, Wang Laozhi suddenly shook his head in disinterest, "I have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, but I haven't even refined the golden elixir yet, so why talk about refining the Tao?"

Seeing that he was no longer interested in talking, Chen Yun obediently did not ask any more questions.

Not long after, came outside the city.

Wang Laozhi suddenly muttered something.

Then, a magical scene happened.

Chen Yun found that a cloud of air rose up from beneath his and Wang Laozhi's feet, supporting the two of them as they flew forward.

He was startled at first, fearing that he might accidentally fall to death.

Fortunately, standing on this cloud was like walking on flat ground, so Chen Yun felt relieved.

midair.

Chen Yun was speechless and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you can soar into the clouds and ride in the mist before you even refine the golden elixir. Isn't your magic power too profound?"

Maybe it made me feel comfortable being praised.

Wang Laozhi said quite proudly: "Actually, I am only one step away from cultivating the golden elixir. If placed in an ordinary school, I can be regarded as a person at the level of a leader."

Hearing this, Chen Yun thought of another question, "By the way, senior brother, you just said that different schools have different levels of cultivation, so how do you know what level other people's strength is?"

Wang Laozhi said: "I have a secret technique of observing qi in the Taoist temple. I can probably tell what other people's cultivation is. For example, if the strength is similar to that of a person who has just refined his true energy, then he is at the level of a low-level mage, and then higher up. There are also levels of intermediate mage, high-level mage, high-level mage and leader. Well, above the leader is Jindan Zhenren. People at this level cannot use Guanqi to find out."

Chen Yuner said: "In this world... cultivators are still divided into low-level mages and high-level mages?"

"Oh, of course cultivators are not divided into so-called levels." Wang Laozhi introduced in detail, "It's just that some cultivators will enter the court and serve as officials to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world. The emperor will often judge the mana of the person who seeks the official position. There are different levels of official positions. For example, the lower-level mage is the seventh- and sixth-grade official, the middle-level mage is the fifth- and fourth-grade official, the upper-level mage is the third-level official, the high-level mage is the second-level official, and the leader is the first-level official. Over the course of thousands of years, these official ranks have changed. It is a standard that gradually measures the strength of a cultivator, so it has the levels you mentioned."

Chen Yun probably understood.

According to Wang Laozhi, a hundred days of foundation building and grain refining can only be considered a beginner, not a true cultivator at all.

Only those who have refined Qi or have equivalent strength can be divided into lower, middle and upper levels of mages.

……

Soaring into the clouds and driving through the fog at extremely fast speeds.

Without a few words of small talk, the clouds gradually fell on a Taoist temple covering an area of ​​two or three acres of green bricks and green tiles.

Wang Laozhi first took Chen Yun around the Taoist temple to get familiar with it.

The inner courtyard is the residence of the ancestor, that is, the residence of Zhongliquan.

The outer courtyard is divided into medicine garden, alchemy room, Taoist dormitory and so on.

Probably after getting familiar with the environment.

Wang Laozhi took Chen Yun to the medicine garden.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yun saw that the one-acre medicine garden was filled with exotic flowers and herbs.

What surprised him most was a lychee tree planted in the middle.

You must know that it is winter now, and the lychee tree is actually full of fruitful lychees out of season.

"This is where you will work from now on."

Wang Laozhi pointed to the medicine garden and said: "Most of the herbs grown here are herbs that can be found in the human world. However, there are also some spiritual roots of heaven and earth brought back from the fairyland by our mentor. You need to be careful when taking care of them. Well, today is just Let me take you to see it. Starting tomorrow, I will have people formally teach you how to identify and take care of herbs and those spiritual roots of heaven and earth. You can have a good rest later."

Chen Yun was a little puzzled and said: "Senior Brother Wang, isn't the inner alchemy passed down by the ancestor? Then what is the use of these herbs and the spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"

Wang Laozhi said matter-of-factly: "Of course I take it for elixir refining in order to improve my cultivation."

Chen Yun was a little dizzy and asked: "Does practicing inner elixir also rely on external objects?"

Wang Laozhi said "Hey", "The outer alchemy is the ancestor of the inner alchemy. The most powerful outer alchemy practitioners can even ascend immediately if they obey it."

At this point, he sighed and shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the method of making the 'Da Luo Ling Tang' that allows people to achieve Da Luo Dao fruit immediately after taking one bite has been lost long ago. Otherwise, Pindao can't say anything." I need to find a way to make a big Luoling soup and try it out to see if the effect is as magical as the rumors say."

what?
Can people achieve Daluo Dao Fruit immediately after taking one sip of Daluo Ling Tang?
Chen Yun blinked and said to himself, if he remembered correctly, the method of brewing Da Luo Ling Tang seemed to be recorded in the book he obtained a few years ago.
