I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 8 Cave Mansion
  "Qingfeng Taoist Academy, the new disciple Gu Yuan, pays homage to the Patriarch!"

In the center of the huge bronze palace is a huge portrait.

The image shows an ordinary-looking old man wearing purple robes.

The old man's appearance was unattractive and he looked extremely ordinary, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if there were stars flowing.

The person painted in this portrait is the founder of Qingfeng Taoist Temple.

However, this person has long been wandering around the world and disappeared. It is not known whether he died or disappeared. He has not appeared for thousands of years.

When Gu Yuan knelt down to worship the portrait, the eyes in the portrait seemed to come alive and looked at Gu Yuan.

A power far greater than that of Master Jindan swept over Gu Yuan, and then he felt that the Patriarch in the portrait was nodding slightly to him, not sure if it was Gu Yuan's imagination.

"The Patriarch nodded, the ceremony is over!"

But the voice of Deacon Qiu Mingshan told him that this matter was not his imagination.

"Junior Brother Gu, get up quickly. From today on, you are officially a disciple of my Qingfeng Taoist Academy!"

Qiu Mingshan nodded and smiled from the side, and shouted to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan stood up, bowed respectfully to the portrait of his ancestor, and then followed Qiu Mingshan out of the hall.

After leaving the main hall, Gu Yuancai asked: "Senior Brother Qiu, is that the ancestor's painting just now?"

"Haha, I knew you were going to ask, junior brother."

"However, we cannot speculate on the realm of the Patriarch. All you need to know is that there is a ray of the Patriarch's power in the portrait. Anyone who hides his figure or harbors evil intentions will be discovered by the portrait and killed on the spot."

"This is also the last step to get started! Even if you are recommended by Master Jindan, you still have to go through this step of the process."

Qiu Mingshan explained with a smile.

Gu Yuan nodded understandingly.

Later, under the leadership of Qiu Mingshan, Gu Yuan recorded the jade book of the sect and then began to receive training supplies.

The highlight he was looking forward to finally arrived.

"Wealthy couple practice the four-character motto of Dharma. Let's come one by one."

"The first is 'wealth'. Generally speaking, new disciples who have entered the fifth level of Qi refining and below can receive a set of low-grade robes with water and fire repelling patterns and double dust-repelling patterns engraved on them. However, junior brother, you have already reached the fourth level of Qi refining. Soon you will reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, and you will naturally be able to receive the middle-grade robe, which is engraved with water-repelling and fire-repelling patterns, dust-repelling patterns, and small spirit-gathering patterns, which can increase your cultivation by half. Well, the number is three, no, five sets. Bar."

"New disciples can receive three Qi Gathering Pills every month. Junior disciples can just withdraw the amount for one year and save the time to collect them back and forth. There are thirty-six pills in total."

"You must have magic weapons. They are all of medium quality, including a Cloud-Stepping Shuttle, a Little Green Spirit Sword, and a Black Turtle Shield."

"Introduction disciples, according to the rules, can also receive five spiritual stones as a gift. Junior brother has come from thousands of miles away, so the gift should be heavier, maybe ten!"

"That's almost it!"

"By the way, there are so many things that I need a storage bag, just about three feet long. I'll save you the time, junior brother, to come back and change it next time."

Qiu Mingshan waved his sleeves and handed many supplies to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan quickly took it, with joy on his face.

Good guy, I got a year's salary in advance when I first joined the company. Not only that, all the benefits were also upgraded one level.

This is Jindan Enze, it’s really amazing.

And Qiu Mingshan is still continuing.

"As for the 'companion', a master can be considered a companion, but junior brother, you have never been a disciple of Jindan, and you were once his disciple. I am afraid that it will be difficult to arrange for a while. Now there are only two choices."

"First, I will enter your name on the jade slip. If there is a Golden elixir master or a foundation-building master who wants to recruit a disciple, he will contact you."

"The second is to join Qianjiao Academy directly. There are all disciples in Qianjiao Academy who have no apprenticeship. However, not having apprenticeships does not mean that there is no one to teach. Every once in a while, there will be Uncle Foundation Architect and even Elder Jindan in Qianjiao Academy. When the Dharma is preached in the courtyard, any disciple can go and listen."

"In addition, you can also spend spiritual stones to ask for advice individually. They are all elders of the same sect. The fee is not too expensive."

Speaking of this, Qiu Mingshan added: "Actually, except for the core disciples of the Seven Meridians and some aristocratic families, most of the disciples of the Taoist Academy are from Qianjiao Academy. To be honest, I have also practiced in Qianjiao Academy for several times. Years later, I was released from seclusion by my mentor and was put into the gate wall."

Qiu Mingshan's voice was slow and steady as he informed the Taoist Academy of the situation.

Qingfeng Taoist Temple is a major sect in the Dongshan Region with many disciples, but there are only five Masters of Jindan. How can they all become disciples of Jindan? What's more, this world is a world of spiritual practice, with great power gathered in one body. The teachers are all concentrating on hard work in an attempt to break through to a higher realm. How can they have so much energy to cultivate disciples?

The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.

Everything depends on yourself.

Even if you are a disciple of Jindan, come from a noble family and fail to live up to your expectations, you will be ruthlessly abandoned.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuan understood immediately.

"Becoming a disciple of Qianjiao Courtyard is just a temporary measure. You are recommended by Elder Fox. You will definitely have the opportunity to become his disciple again in the future. Now you are just dormant for the time being."

Having said this, Gu Yuan stopped saying anything and said, "It's all up to senior brother!"

"Okay, let's go to Qianjiaoyuan first."

"The second thing has been solved, the next thing is 'fa'!"

"Practice is indispensable, it is the most important thing!"

"Especially for you, junior brother, the first step to integrate into the Taoist Academy is to change the method, and replace the Dharma Techniques you have practiced before with the supreme secrets of our Taoist Academy!"

"There are three scriptures and seven diagrams in the Taoist Academy. Three of the scriptures are endlessly mysterious and cannot be practiced without the Golden Elixir. There are also seven true diagrams, which are all wonderful methods that point directly to the golden elixir avenue. However, four of the diagrams have been collected by various channels. Only true disciples can teach it.”

"In the Qianjiao Courtyard, there are only three magical methods: the True Diagram of Toad Moon Divine Light, the Diagram of Planting Heaven and Earth Evergreen, and the Diagram of the Five Elements True Wheel."

"I will take you to the Qianjiaoyuan Gonggong Hall later, and you can choose the one that suits you."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

"It doesn't matter!" Qiu Mingshan waved his hand slightly, then smiled and said: "The Wealth Couple Method has three features, and the last one is your place of practice, the cave."

"Speaking of which, junior brother, you have a really good opportunity. In normal times, I wouldn't be able to help you much in this cave, but right now, there may be a small opportunity."

"If you are lucky, you can get a piece of talent for nothing because it is inheritance."

"Although it is only a small inheritance of Qi training realm, it is still a big benefit to you!"

Hearing what Qiu Mingshan said was so tempting, Gu Yuan also became interested and asked, "I wonder what kind of opportunity this is? Please let me know, senior brother!"

Qiu Mingshan did not hide it and said directly: "You should know that in our practice, it is absolutely necessary to practice behind closed doors. We must go out to adventure and seek the truth."

"And once you go out, there is a risk of death."

"Ordinary Qi Refining disciples do not have life lamps in the sect. Some disciples go out for ten or even decades and do not return. I don't know whether they are dead or missing. The cave remains empty, which is a waste of resources."

"So the sect stipulates that if the Qi refining level is below the fifth level, the cave will be kept for fifteen years, and if the Qi refining level is above the fifth level, the cave will be kept for thirty years!"

"If within this period of time, he has not returned even once, and there is no news or relatives, then the cave must be taken back."

"Because I am a disciple in the Qi training realm, the mansion is generally very simple and has no treasures, so the Taoist temple is too lazy to clean it up. As long as I pay two spirit stones, I can inherit the cave mansion and everything in it."

"Although to the Taoist academy, the items in this cave are not worth mentioning, but to the disciples in the Qi training realm, they might be able to find something, even if they earn a few more spirit stones, it would be good."

"In another half month, there will be a batch of caves that are about to expire. Among them are several caves with excellent spiritual energy. It is said that the collection is quite good. I can make the decision and let you choose one of them first. However, the things in the caves are private. , I don’t know what’s in it, whether you can pick it up or not depends on your luck.”

Isn't this just opening a blind box?
  Gu Yuan's eyes lit up.

For most people, opening a blind box naturally depends on luck.

But in another half month, Gu Yuan should be able to accumulate some more jade liquid in the stone bottle.

When the time comes, the opportunities are all before your eyes, so why not choose them at will?
  "Thank you, Senior Brother Qiu!"

Gu Yuan bowed and thanked him sincerely.

"Haha, no need to thank you. It all depends on luck. I can't say that you were so happy that when you finally opened the cave, there was only a mess."

Qiu Mingshan waved his hand.

This matter all depended on chance. He was just going along with the flow and did not want to take credit for it.

"Let's go, this matter still lasts half a month. I will send you to Qianjiao Yuan first, find a place to stay, receive the skills, and settle down. We will talk about the cave affairs in a while."
