Chapter 220 The Wind Arrives
"Immortality? Lifespan equal to that of Heaven? Indeed! Indeed, it was left behind by the new Daoist master! Hahaha!"
Yun Xuanzi laughed maniacally.
This caused the boy inside the door to frown repeatedly.
The originally tightly closed door creaked open, revealing about half a body's width of space.
A boy stepped forward, frowning and scolding, "Where did this wild girl come from, daring to be so insolent here?"
The newcomer was exceptionally handsome, dressed in a flowing feather robe with tightly bound sleeves.
As he walked, clouds and mist swirled around him, giving him the air of a celestial being.
The sudden appearance of the young Taoist disciple instantly froze Yun Xuanzi's smile on his face.
anyone?
How could there be anyone here?
Has someone beaten them to it?
Or did the new leader of the Dao find us so quickly?
That shouldn't be happening!
Yun Xuanzi's mind raced, considering every possible scenario.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the boy immediately frowned: "I'm asking you a question! Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"
Yun Xuanzi's eyes darted around. Since he didn't know who would get there first, he might as well sneak in first and then make plans.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Immortal above, I am the Crown Princess of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. I heard that there are immortals living in seclusion here, so I came here to seek immortality and ask about the Dao."
Yun Xuanzi's tone was extremely sincere.
"From the Western Liang Women's Kingdom? Seeking immortality and enlightenment? You?"
The boy was greatly surprised, as the Western Liang Women's Kingdom was quite far from here.
"Indeed! I originally brought four guards with me, but they all abandoned me when we encountered strongmen, leaving me alone to struggle to this point."
Yun Xuanzi lifted his tattered clothes to show the boy, and when he spoke of his sorrows, he couldn't help but sob.
This sadness was truly genuine, and Yun Xuanzi was not lying at all.
The boy naturally didn't realize she was lying.
But he looked Yun Xuanzi up and down and said, "The Patriarch has not yet accepted any female disciples. Well then, considering that it is not easy for you to come here, you wait here while I go and inform the Patriarch."
There's a founder? Then there must be disciples and grand-disciples as well?
Yun Xuanzi felt a tightness in his chest, but dared not show any unusual expression on his face.
She bowed to the boy again: "Thank you for your message, Immortal!"
...
After watching the boy leave, Yun Xuanzi was filled with excitement.
There must have been a master and a disciple; it could only have been done by two people.
First, Feng Qingzi set up this secret realm, using this secret treasure world to evolve a new path and comprehend the Dao fruit.
Secondly, there's the original owner, Chen Chunan. This world was mostly created by him, so it must have a deeper meaning.
Perhaps this place was deliberately left behind by him, including the so-called founder and disciples.
If it's the second case, he might have a chance to reap the rewards!
Yun Xuanzi was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
Within the Holy Land of the Three Pure Ones
The young Taoist priest disappeared without a trace as soon as he entered the gate.
The Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged under the tree suddenly opened his eyes.
"The monkey brought me here, but he didn't remove the jade puppet. Now I'm bound to this place and can't go far. Otherwise, there would be no need to call me to rescue me. But this Yun Xuanzi is quite interesting; he actually wants to come and reap the rewards? Hehe~"
The Taoist priest exhaled a breath of pure qi, which instantly transformed into forty-eight disciples distributed throughout the Taoist temple.
The remaining traces of life still linger, like white cranes, green deer, orchids, and herbs.
In an instant, magical powers shone brightly; cranes flew and deer ran, and orchids and magnolias were adorned with dew. It was a magnificent spectacle of immortals.
少顷
The gates to the Sanqing Sacred Realm have reopened.
The boy who had spoken earlier looked at me with an expression that said, "You're so lucky! The Patriarch has agreed to see you! Come with me!"
Yun Xuanzi was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Immortal Master! Thank you so much, Immortal Master!"
She then moved quickly with short, quick steps, closely following behind the boy.
She pretended to ask the boy, "I am a lowly mortal and do not know the name of the patriarch. Could you please tell me, so that I may not be impolite when I meet the patriarch later?"
The boy's face was arrogant: "Our patriarch's name is Zhenyuan Daxian."
"Zhenyuan Daxian?"
Upon hearing this title, Yun Xuanzi felt it seemed rather ordinary.
Shouldn't they be called something like "Ancestor" or "Holy Venerable"?
The boy seemed to see through Yun Xuanzi's thoughts, and only snorted coldly before falling silent.
The courtyard is deep and secluded.
The pavilions and towers along the way were arranged in a well-organized manner, and many disciples were practicing their magical arts.
They might ride the clouds and mist, summon lightning, cut paper into people, or scatter beans to create soldiers.
Some people instantly grew as large as mountains, yet quietly concealed their forms.
Some people leap into dragon form and soar through the sky.
What a magnificent sight!
Yun Xuanzi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
"Even after ascending to immortality, this is probably all there is to it, isn't it?"
After his reflections, Yun Xuanzi became even more convinced that this was the location of the new Dao Fruit.
All that just happened was due to the power of expounding the Dao.
If I were to obtain the Dao Fruit myself.
I can also learn those supernatural powers and spells!
Yun Xuanzi's anxiety intensified, and even the path beneath his feet seemed to grow longer.
After walking for about three miles, the two stopped at the entrance of a grand hall.
In front of the main hall is a square plaza, with the paving stones arranged according to the Yin-Yang and Bagua principles.
At the very center is a huge alchemical furnace.
Yun Xuanzi was unfamiliar with the Eight Trigrams, but with his experience of transcending tribulations, he could still tell that this should be closely related to the new Dao.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be placed in such a prominent position.
Secondly, there was that giant tree with its fragrant fruit aroma.
The towering tree, which appears close at hand from the outside, reveals itself to be completely hidden from view once you get closer. Even after walking more than three miles into the courtyard, you can't see the base of the tree at all.
I have no idea what kind of tree it is.
The fruit on the tree seemed to have a similar aura to the peaches that grew on the Dao Fruit Tree formed by the Jade Dust Soul-Seizing Divine Technique.
Yun Xuanzi had just taken a sip of the fruity fragrance and felt light and healthy, his mind soaring.
When you get closer and look at it again, you can't smell a thing.
Yun Xuanzi was so engrossed in watching that when he came back to his senses, the young Taoist boy from before was looking at her warily.
"You wild girl! Don't even think about getting your hands on this fruit. It's a priceless treasure of our patriarch. If you dare to mess with it, I'll skin you alive, tear you apart, and send you to the eighteenth level of hell—that's the least I can do."
The young Taoist boy's warning brought Yun Xuanzi back to her senses instantly. She knew that the boy had seen her lose her composure.
He then feigned honesty and said, "When I climbed the mountain earlier, I was so tired that I could barely straighten my back, but a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of fruit, which instantly relieved my fatigue and even made me feel much more comfortable. Now that I can see it up close, I've become so captivated by it."
The young Taoist boy snorted coldly:
"You are quite lucky. This fruit is a spiritual root from the beginning of time, called the Ginseng Fruit Tree."
The fruit that grows on it is called ginseng fruit, also known as herbal elixir.
It takes three thousand years for the flowers to bloom, three thousand years for the fruit to bear fruit, three thousand years for the fruit to mature, and ten thousand years for the fruit to ripen.
This fruit, if an ordinary person smells it, can live for 360 years; if they eat one, they can live for 47,000 years!
A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of fruit; from now on, you will be free from all illnesses and live to be three hundred and sixty!
Upon hearing this, Yun Xuanzi's eyes lit up slightly.
Unless he finds an extremely suitable vessel for transcending tribulations, his lifespan will be unlikely to exceed five thousand years.
Eating just one of these fruits can grant you 47,000 years of life. He wouldn't believe it if you said it had nothing to do with the Dao Fruit.
But the boy had already warned him, so he dared not reveal himself.
"Perhaps it was the Patriarch who took pity on my hard work and bestowed this upon me? Otherwise, how could I have smelled the fragrance of fruit from so far away outside the temple?"
Yun Xuanzi's words were pointed, leaving the boy somewhat unsure of what to do.
"Whether this is the Patriarch's intention, you can ask him yourself in a moment. I'll take you into the hall now. Oh, and once inside, you mustn't make a sound. Don't speak unless the Patriarch asks you a question. Do you understand?"
"Got it!"
