Chapter 271: Refuse Again and Again, the Heart of an Immortal

The figure of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang disappeared.

Jiang Yi looked at the glittering runes and the unbridled talisman that contained the power of the immortals, pondered over the other party's words, and was silent for a long time before he thanked him, "Thank you for your gift, Master!"

The power of this talisman without any taboos is not permanent. After the immortal power is consumed, it will be restored to an ordinary token.

After sorting out the regret of not getting what he wanted, Jiang Yi turned and left.

If the other party didn't give him the last bit of immortal power, he might still have a chance to stay here, but since the other party gave him the immortal power, it meant he was truly gone.

This true gentleman is kind by nature and likes peace and tranquility.

It seems that he has no desire to accept disciples!

"But how can I obtain the three untold secrets?" Jiang Yi looked melancholy. "If the other party doesn't even give me a chance to test myself, my talent, wisdom, etc. will be useless!"

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang watched Jiang Yi's back as he walked down the mountain from his immortal residence: "You helped the guardian Yaksha to break the karma and eliminate the obstacles. You took the grudge of the demon god with your own body. I will return the favor to you!"

He recalled that after he went to Wangshu Inn, he saw the Demon-Subduing Great Sage who had gained a brief reprieve.

After further questioning, I heard about this person and his extraordinary abilities.

"Next, let's take a look at Hulao Mountain first, and then go to Aozang Mountain!"

Jiang Yi walked down the mountain slowly, just like he did when he went up.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, so we take a rest in the pavilion at night.

Hulao Mountain is also the residence of an immortal in Jueyunjian.

However, the way up this mountain is hard to find. You have to climb up the cliffs before you can see a mountain path where monsters roam on the mountainside.

Beside this mountain, there is an ancient being suppressed. The immortal here is one of the suppressors and should not be underestimated.

Jiang Yi killed the monster and looked at the huge pieces of glowing orange-red amber on the roadside.

The inside of amber cannot be seen by the naked eye, but through the talent of sensing earth veins, the knowledge in the game and its own special plant identity, it can be known that this thing is used by immortals to guard their caves and prevent living creatures from disturbing their tranquility.

This is a flower called "Palm Tree". Most of it is hidden underground. If stepped on, it will produce amber and wrap the invader.

Including but not limited to wild boars, white cranes, humans, monsters, rock element crystal butterflies...

How the crystal butterfly is triggered is quite interesting and can become a topic.

Jiang Yi suppressed the urge to dig one out of the ground and bring it back for research.

Continue up the mountain along the winding stone steps on the edge of the cliff.

The sea of ​​clouds was at your feet, and the strong wind made the grass leaves fall down, as if it was going to blow the people walking on it off the thousand-foot cliff.

The blue sky and the sun seem to be within reach, and there is a fairy island floating in the distant sky.

Jiang Yi arrived at the top of the mountain. The red leaves were like fire, the ancient trees were mysterious, and in a shallow pool of water, there were lotus leaves and lotus flowers of all sizes, green and yellow, a picture of a fairyland.

The same golden barrier and talisman sealing the door.

Jiang Yi bowed and saluted: "I am Jiang Yi, a commoner, and I would like to see the immortal."

"Zhuoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun is my good friend. Although I am here to guard 'Duoshan Kui' to prevent it from harming innocent lives and have not left this mountain to travel, I have heard of your origins once."

An immortal appeared, shaped like a red-crowned crane, with a red sun on his forehead, white feathers, a black head, and brown feathers.

Its neck is snow-white with flame-red markings, its belly is gray-black, and its wings are brown, yellow, and red.

Two black feet, one slightly bent, the other standing straight.

The black tail feathers are like the night sky before dawn.

"My name is Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun! Eight scrolls with no taboos are really rare!"

"Mortals seek to become immortals in vain, and those who are expelled often bear a grudge against the immortals..." True Lord Lishui Dieshan looked at Jiang Yi, as if he wanted to see his dissatisfaction.

"Have you heard of my origins?" Jiang Yi frowned, his thoughts turning over in his mind. He had only been close to one immortal before, the Great Sage Subduing Demons, Xiao.

Was it a communication between the immortals? Moreover, this immortal already knew that he had gone to Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun to seek immortal arts but to no avail.

"Mortals are dissatisfied, but they take the immortals' gifts for granted! Hence, they feel disappointed and resentful!"

"Jiang Yi met Master Xue Yue Zhu Yang. Although he did not obtain any immortal arts, he was able to obtain some immortal power. This is already a great favor from heaven. Why should he be dissatisfied?"

Jiang Yi spoke openly.

"What if True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang doesn't grant you immortal power?" True Lord Li Shui Die Shan said, with a powerful pressure falling on Jiang Yi's shoulders like mountains and rivers.

"If I succeed, I'll be lucky. If I fail, I'll be doomed! I'm ready to fail. I'll be desolate and I'll feel pity."

"But as long as I'm alive, I will try to fight for it. Unless, after searching a hundred times and failing a hundred times, the immortal cuts off the door to my immortality." Jiang Yi's eyes were like fire.

"These two sentences, the indifference in the first and the persistence in the second, seem contradictory?" said Master Lishui Dieshan.

"There's no contradiction!" Jiang Yi shook his head.

"Master Xueyue Zhuyang and I have the same idea. The alchemy cauldron, talismans, and external scenes are secrets that the immortals never pass on. I like quietness and have no desire to accept disciples."

"You can leave now!" Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun looked at Jiang Yi, as if to see if he had any resentment in his heart.

"Master, before I leave, I would like to ask if there is any exception in the world?" Jiang Yi bowed sincerely.

The final path is to learn from the heaven and earth to study the great way, spend time that seems to have no end, and create your own magical powers and techniques. The ready-made crystallization of civilization is here, embodying the highest wisdom and technology of the immortals.

In order to seek the truth, what’s wrong with three bows and nine kowtows?

"Maybe there is, maybe not!" Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun gave an ambiguous answer.

"When you pass by Taishan Prefecture, you should take a look at the stone tablet!"

"Yan Jun has the intention to return to Limin; therefore, the traces of the immortal way should be cut off from the human world!"

"This is the Emperor's will!"

Jiang Yi looked up at the sky, then looked at Taishan Prefecture in the distance.

There is a consensus among the immortals and gods of Liyue that the immortal path can guide mortals and protect the people, but it can also lure people into addiction and depravity.

They advocated "restraining magic, limiting supernatural powers, and avoiding the world" to persuade mortals to be sincere and not to seek immortality everywhere and long for supernatural help.

For more than a thousand years, those who seek immortality have been as numerous as the fish in the sea, but how many people have actually been accepted as disciples by the immortals?

Among them, who can be passed on the three secrets, or even one of the three secrets?

Jiang Yi felt a little unwilling and lost inside, so he closed his eyes, adjusted his mentality, bowed slightly, and walked towards the mountain path.

If it weren't for the unintentional action of Wangshu Inn and the eight talismans with no taboos in his hands, these immortals would probably not have seen him at all.

However, when they met... Yes! Why did he accept him as a disciple and make an exception to teach him the magical powers of the immortals?

It takes mortals ten years of training and apprenticeship to master a skill.

Putting myself in other people's shoes, I would not teach my swordsmanship and alchemical secrets to a stranger.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

At this time, he remembered the Taoist "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" which he had read before traveling through time.

"The great road is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and the earth; the great road is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon; the great road is nameless, nourishing all things; I don't know its name, so I call it Tao."

"The superior man does not quarrel, the inferior man quarrels; the superior virtue is unvirtuous, the inferior virtue insists on virtue. ... But he suffers filth and humiliation. He wanders in life and death, always sinks in the sea of ​​suffering, and forever loses the true way."

"The true and constant way is attained by those who understand it, and those who understand it are always pure and tranquil."

The Buddhist mantras or Taoist mantras in memory cannot give him strength, they can only give him a sense of Buddhist or Taoist meaning.

I was silently reciting at the moment, but in this quiet place of immortals, I suddenly felt something, and used this to calm my heart.

The clenched hands loosened and the heavy footsteps became light.

Tao is about cultivating the mind.
