Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 295 - Chapter 295 Chapter 189 Walking in the Human World_2

Chapter 295: Chapter 189 Walking in the Human World_2 Chapter 295: Chapter 189 Walking in the Human World_2 The salesperson by the door had good eyesight.

He could see clearly that when the young Cultivator had not yet entered the door, the rainwater had slid off his clothes of its own accord before it even touched him.

It was as if there was an invisible shield around the body of the young Taoist!

“This is a True God indeed!”

Next to the salesperson, a middle-aged customer with equally good vision, Zhang Dazui, blurted out in awe.

“Doesn’t this Taoist look somewhat familiar?”

Unlike others who were uncertain, the old temple master, despite his advanced age, had a very clear memory.

He saw Zhou Xuan walking in with a sword on his back and wearing a rain-repelling magic robe.

In addition to being amazed at the extraordinary charisma after the success of his cultivation,

The old temple master recalled the memory in his mind.

After hesitating to combine the memory of the young prodigy with the transcendent Taoist before him,

He quietly asked:

“The visitor, are you Taoist Zhouxuan who had a brief encounter with the old temple master at the Tao Palace three years ago?”

The old temple master stood up to inquire.

Zhou Xuan stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and, folding his hands in front of his chest, spoke with a confidence that made outsiders envious:

“Zhou Xuan of Yunlai Immortal Realm, walking among mortals, has met the Taoist!”

“Three years ago, I indeed had the fortune of meeting the Taoist at the Tao Palace.”

Three years ago, Zhou Xuan was a promising little Taoist recommended for advanced studies at the Tao Palace.

Back then, Zhou Xuan had met this old temple master of Myriad Lotus Temple.

Only at that time, the old temple master was on the stage, and he was in the audience.

Now…

The old temple master is still on the stage, but Zhou Xuan has already ascended to the heavens.

Zhou Xuan knew what the old temple master wanted to ask.

So he continued to emphasize his identity, letting the cunning Taoists and monks immediately understand.

The change in Zhou Xuan today was not due to the influence of the Taoist circle they were in contact with, but rather an immortal destiny obtained by the little Taoist himself.

This Little Taoist Zhouxuan is no longer one of the registered Cultivators under the jurisdiction of the Tao Palace, but now is the renowned “walker among mortals” from Yunlai Immortal Realm!

“Are you here to visit the land of the Three Hundred Dharma Veins in the Northern Land?”

“Myriad Lotus Temple naturally welcomes you!”

Upon understanding Zhou Xuan’s intention, the old temple master stood, then gravely instructed his disciples to see off the guests and to close the Taoist Temple, so as not to disturb Zhou Xuan’s visit.

“But… it’s still raining!”

Some Taoists were slightly taken aback, got up and wanted to protest.

However, the Taoists in the temple didn’t care about that; in their view, nothing was greater than receiving the walker from Yunlai Immortal Realm.

It was the old temple master who, concerned that a commotion might upset Zhou Xuan and seeing that the rain was indeed heavy, had been a bit hasty.

He arranged for the visitors to stay in the guest rooms.

Then, the old temple master took Little Taoist Zhouxuan to tour Myriad Lotus Temple.

Divine statues, a vast collection of books, and many relics left by predecessors.

In the presence of Zhou Xuan, who truly possessed transcendent powers, they were incredibly attentive.

Everything genuine that could be offered was brought out.

The reason was, though unspoken, well understood by everyone.

Especially those practitioners well versed in practical cultivation.

Although few in number, each was highly respected within the cultivation circle.

They also had access to channels and networks for gathering information.

They themselves were practicing cultivation and, when combined with so much known data,

they were quite aware that relying solely on their own fortunes, no amount of cultivation would produce more genuine items.

To acquire genuine items, one had to depend on those unexpectedly arising immortal destinies!

And as for how to obtain such immortal destinies, they had quietly researched it.

They found that aside from stumbling upon great fortune by chance,

The greatest possibility might be providing the necessities required by those True Cultivation forces.

Once they realized this, every practical cultivator had prepared themselves mentally in advance.

For this… many things were negotiable.

And, as it turned out, Zhou Xuan was only looking and touching,

Clearly not here to rob them, which undoubtedly made these practical cultivators more psychologically comfortable.

After visiting various secret sites,

Little Taoist Zhouxuan also became interested and had a long conversation with the old Taoist through the night.

The old Taoist might not be transcendent, but he excelled in the decades of cultivation he had over Zhou Xuan, enlightening him on many principles that Zhou Xuan only half-comprehended.

And many cultivation methods of Zhou Xuan also gave the old Taoist the illusion of sudden enlightenment.

Only, there was no spiritual energy on Water Blue Star.

The old Taoist, even if he understood where his cultivation method had gone wrong or how it could be improved, lacked the conditions to verify it.

When dawn broke, Little Taoist Zhouxuan was planning to bid farewell and leave when he saw the old temple master, who had previously been as amiable as an elder, suddenly kneel before him.

This made Zhouxuan vividly recall the memory of the first time he met the Immortal Leader.

He quickly used his mana to prevent the other party from truly kneeling down.

At the same time, he gently expressed that he was merely representing Yunlai Immortal Realm on a visit to the various human Dharma Veins.

Whether there were useful items or people fit to cross over, his word did not count for anything.

Everything would only become clear after he had visited all three hundred Dharma Veins in the Northern Land and returned to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Furthermore, he was also from a background in Taoism and had undertaken practical cultivation, understanding the bitterness and difficulties of true cultivation.

On this mission, he was determined not to let any personal desires interfere.

Having said all this, Zhouxuan eventually still extended his help with his mana to sort out the old temple master’s health and cleared away some hidden diseases.

It was also to thank the old temple master for his cooperation during the reception, sparing no effort to share all he knew.

After leaving the Taoist temple,

Zhouxuan went straight over mountains and ridges towards his next destination.

This left the Taoists and monks who wanted to follow him standing on the mountain, watching with envy as Zhouxuan seemed to have lightness skills.

The tourists, on the other hand, were much simpler, marveling at how the trip had been worthwhile, for they had truly encountered a transcendent!

Such a young Taoist must certainly be an Immortal’s disciple!

Then, through the exaggeration of tourists who descended the mountain after their visit, the reputation of the old temple master of Myriad Lotus Temple fermented.

He became known as an old Immortal of the Northern Land.

Since the old temple master already had a certain fame to begin with,

many patients whom he had healed came forward to testify.

Thus, the identity of the old Immortal was recognized.

So much so that a Vice President of an association even personally made the trip to observe the old temple master.

He confirmed that the rumors outside were indeed just that, rumors.

On the other hand,

the practical cultivators in the Taoist temples and temples who considered themselves one of the three hundred Dharma Veins, after hearing of this, had prepared well for reception.

This facilitated Zhouxuan’s visits.

Now, as he approached each destination, his presence alone would bring eager welcomes and cooperation.

It gave him the illusion that he was an envoy from the Immortal Realm.

Fortunately, Little Taoist Zhouxuan was truly gifted with wisdom.

The moment this vain thought arose, he immediately woke up from it and believed this was also one of the purposes of the Immortal Master assigning him this task.

That was to temper himself and let him experience the myriad human conditions to cultivate his heart!

With a robust Heart Realm, one could move through cultivation like a fish in water and minimize the chances of Deviation.

…

“Look, the target has left the Big Snow Temple.”

In the early morning, within the monitoring room of the hastily established investigation team tasked with human movements, someone awoke their colleagues who had dozed off for a bit.

Then, through the view of the drone that had been following Zhouxuan from a distance,

they saw Zhouxuan, the representative of the Yunlai Immortal Realm on Earth, walking out of the ancient temple’s gate.

At the entrance, quite a few high-ranking monks were there to see him off.

The investigators mainly focused on observation while also working to prevent any accidents.

Not long after Zhouxuan descended the mountain,

an investigator suddenly uttered a sound of surprise, then warned:

“Wait, look… That’s a tiger, right!”

“No good, the target might encounter the tiger…”

“Prepare the drone’s weapon system, in case of an accident, prioritize the target’s safety above all else.”

Almost without thinking, the decision was made from above.

And Zhouxuan, while heading towards his next destination,

detected a tiger not far away.

Zhouxuan was seeing a wild tiger not enclosed within a zoo for the first time.

And it was a rare white adult tiger.

The more Zhouxuan looked, the more he liked it.

With a light tap of his foot, he ran towards it.

The tiger roared once, but although it was ravenous and had intended to hunt this strange monkey that dared to approach proactively,

the tiger inexplicably sensed danger as the other closed to within a hundred meters and instead turned and ran into the deep forest.

Thus, through the view of the drone, the investigators saw a young Taoist chasing a white tiger across the vast snowy landscape.

And after catching up to it in a dense forest,

Not long after,

they were surprised to discover that the white tiger had suddenly become the young Taoist’s mount, carrying him on the road downhill…
