Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 294 - Chapter 294 Chapter 189 Walking Among Humans

Chapter 294: Chapter 189 Walking Among Humans Chapter 294: Chapter 189 Walking Among Humans Outside the border, within Myriad Lotus Mountain, one of the famous mountains and rivers.

In the mountain, there was the Stone Buddha Ancient Temple and the long-established Practical Taoist Temple.

At the same time, it was a well-known scenic spot locally, capitalizing on the Transcendent fever that had swept the whole world today.

Visitors coming to pay their respects were endless.

So much so that some of the more reputable scenic spots required VIP access just to qualify to queue.

This rule sparked all manner of mockery and abuse online.

However, offline visitors were very realistic, especially the wealthy ones; the more rules a temple or Taoist Temple had, the more sincerely they went to offer incense and money.

On this day, a heavy rain began to fall.

Despite the bad weather,

there were still devout tourists walking on the clean stone-paved road with umbrellas.

A lean male salesperson, holding an umbrella, amiably accompanied two clients to the Mountain Gate of a Taoist Temple.

This salesperson had already bought VIP access to this Taoist Temple and was friends with two of the Taoists inside.

So, when he heard that the clients wanted to visit a reputable Taoist Temple or Buddhist Sect to offer incense, he immediately thought of this place.

Client satisfaction was high along the way, and the reputation of the high-ranking individuals within the Taoist Temple made both clients’ eyes gleam.

The young Taoist at the Mountain Gate also recognized the salesperson and, after a moment of astonishment, could not help but exclaim about the number of people despite today’s heavy rain.

He still welcomed the three of them into the Taoist Temple by the rules.

Everyone first visited the side hall to worship the Divine Statue, then proceeded to the back hall.

There, they discovered that the back hall was already filled with people.

About two-thirds were dressed like tourists like them, but many looked clearly wealthy or noble.

The remaining third were dressed as Taoists or Buddhist monks.

The three who entered became solemn and took seats near the door.

“Today’s luck is remarkable,” said the salesperson in a whisper to his two clients, “I heard that the old temple master of Myriad Lotus Temple came out of seclusion.”

The two clients carefully straightened their clothes, even more cautious now.

The old temple master of Myriad Lotus Temple was fairly well-known as a representative of practical cultivation in the lands outside the border.

After the clamor over Transcendent mysteries in the south.

Many half-informed people, out of various motives and wishing fervently, believed that this old temple master must also be a Transcendent Cultivator!

Ding-dong!

Time passed, and only a sound was heard.

An old Taoist wearing a clean cyan robe walked out from the Inner Sect.

This old Taoist had a rosy complexion and skin as smooth as a baby’s.

Moreover, there was a sense of vigorous strength in his movements.

The old Taoist sat down cross-legged, sweeping his gaze over the crowd below.

Immediately, many felt a tingling sensation, as if electrified all over their bodies.

The two clients visiting for the first time were amazed, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile.

This old Taoist surely had attained True Cultivation!

However, the old temple master of Myriad Lotus Temple knew his own situation well.

He had simply achieved some success in the Qi Cultivation Skills of Taoism.

As for his reputation, it predominantly relied on the medical skills passed down through the Temple.

And since he entered the Temple thirty years ago, his multiple attempts at seclusion over those thirty years had resulted in no progress.

Frankly, this seclusion was also because he had heard of his peers in the south achieving Divine Skills, and he couldn’t resist trying once more.

The result, of course, was fruitless.

Yet, such things naturally couldn’t be said to outsiders.

The old temple master had long realized that reputation could significantly affect healing.

With the same illness and treatment, the higher his reputation, the better the patients felt the effects were.

Therefore, to heal and save people more effectively, the old temple master made the difficult decision to avoid outright lies but also not to tell the whole truth.

The old temple master was not coming out of seclusion for the first time. After briefly discussing with everyone the challenges of cultivation, he turned his attention to those guests who had come from afar.

To look at their faces and check for any hidden ailments was a gift he offered these Laypeople at their meeting.

The Taoists and monks present dimmed in expression upon hearing this.

They were all Cultivators of Myriad Lotus Mountain.

Though the old temple master had never explicitly promised, he was implicitly considered their leader.

Hearing that the old temple master did not possess Transcendent powers, it would be false to say they weren’t disappointed.

They all had hoped to be granted an opportunity for True Skills due to their proximity.

Sipping their hot tea, the Cultivators who had already begun to silently contemplate their replies for when they returned to their Temples.

Suddenly noticed a young Taoist bursting into the hall with an excited expression, braving the rain.

Then, before catching his breath, the young Taoist excitedly knelt in the hall and called out:

“Temple master! Someone from the Yunlai Immortal Realm has come walking among us to visit you!”

The young Taoist was very excited, his voice growing louder toward the end.

It seemed he was certain that the person visiting the old temple master was a tremendous honor for them.

The adult Taoist sitting at a slightly lower position next to the old temple master frowned slightly, thinking that this young Taoist’s youthfulness made him impatient.

He did not consider whether Taoism or Buddhism had a line known as the Yunlai Immortal Realm.

Could it be that someone performed a few tricks and deceived this young Taoist?

This youngster was, after all, introduced to the Temple by his own relatives. Although the temple master was gentle and would not make things difficult, it would be best to scold the youngster later to set the tone.

As this Taoist thought thus, preparing to speak, his entire body tensed up and his eyes widened upon seeing the figure at the door.

The dozens of people in the back hall likewise turned their gaze toward the doorway.

Heavy rain fell at the entrance.

The young Taoist approaching did not carry an umbrella, yet there wasn’t a single sign of rain on him.
