Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 144: Master Xuanwei
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance invites me to join?
Qiu Zhen played with the jade token in his hand and suddenly became interested.

If someone had invited him to join an immortal cultivation organization a year ago, he would have refused without hesitation.

It is not wise to join an immortal cultivation organization with little strength and a huge secret and get involved in unknown disputes.

One wrong move could put him in danger.

Times change and things evolve.

At this moment, his mentality has undergone a drastic change.

On the one hand, he now has the ability to protect himself and the confidence to contact the outside world.

On the other hand, in order to spread the [Monkey Heart Dharma] and open up a lineage of Dharma, it is also necessary to contact fellow practitioners from all walks of life in the world of immortal cultivation.

Before the Taoist lineage is formed, joining an immortal cultivation organization and making friends with Taoists is a good way to "lay eggs with borrowed chickens".

Even if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance does not look for him, he plans to take the initiative to contact the immortal cultivation organization and make friends with them.

Yu Chanzi's invitation was exactly what he wanted.

Of course, Qiu Zhen was not in a hurry, and sent a message through his spiritual consciousness:

"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, I wonder what the rules are for joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Once you join the alliance, what obligations do I have and what benefits do I get?"

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, please come to the Miro Palace to discuss the details."

After hearing the message from the spiritual consciousness, Qiu Zhen did not hesitate and his soul flew out of his body and into the jade token.

In Miro Palace.

Yu Chanzi was wearing a dark purple Taoist robe and a Taoist crown on his head. He had a calm expression on his face and was holding a whisk in his hand. He exuded an otherworldly aura, just like a Taoist master.

In fact, with his cultivation of [Controlling Qi and Wandering with the Gods], Yu Chanzi can definitely be regarded as a high-level Taoist master. He is highly respected in the world of immortal cultivation and is always a guest of honor wherever he goes.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, I am honored to meet you."

When Yu Chanzi saw the young Taoist priest appear in the hall, a kind smile quickly appeared on his serious and calm face:

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei is very capable. When faced with the imperial army's encirclement and suppression, he was able to kill a deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division. He really avenged the anger of our generation of cultivators."

Qiu Zhen smiled faintly.

The Demon Suppression Division was ashamed to mention the fact that he killed Lin Shoulong, and rarely revealed the specific details of the fight, but the general situation still spread. In addition, the story of killing demons in the Immortal Traces Secret Realm
The name "Qingwei Taoist" has made him stand out in the world of immortal cultivation in Changle Prefecture and has gained some reputation.

"It's not just my own credit that I have the help of my peers."

Qiu Zhen smiled and said meaningfully:
"We were able to escape danger last time thanks to Yu Chanzi and fellow Taoists from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who held off the Demon Suppression Division and the main forces of the Jade Dragon Army."

Yu Chanzi understood some of the meaning behind the words and felt a little embarrassed.

The last time, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance suffered heavy losses, including the loss of several Yin Shen masters, which even alarmed the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

After being publicized by the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture, this matter spread throughout the entire Changle Prefecture.

"I am ashamed that I was unable to save my fellow Taoists and could only barely protect myself."

Yu Chanzi did not deny the loss of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. After sighing, he said:

"Now that the world of immortal cultivation is declining, cultivators like us are like rats crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating us. The situation is very bad. It is precisely because of this that cultivators like us should stick together and help each other. Otherwise, our end will be even more miserable."

Yu Chanzi's words came from the bottom of his heart, expressing his true feelings.

The path of spiritual practice has declined, and to become a "Yin Shen master", in addition to one's own talent, one must also have precious "foundation-building artifacts". Cultivating a Yin Shen master is much more difficult than cultivating a congenital martial artist.

Among the same level, Yin Shen masters do not have a clear advantage over Xiantian martial artists. They have strengths as well as weaknesses, and the outcome of the fight depends entirely on the specific circumstances.

Only an old monster who has cultivated to the realm of "Refining Qi into Spirit" can comprehensively defeat a martial arts master of the same level.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to cultivate into a "primordial spirit monster". It is no exaggeration to say that they are extremely rare. It may take several years or even decades for one to be born.

However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, martial arts masters were born from time to time, and the dynasty was extremely stable.

If the situation is good, several martial arts masters and heroes will be born in a year.

The forces of both sides are simply not on the same level.

Qiu Zhen also knew that the environment for cultivators was bad, so he agreed with what Yu Chanzi said and nodded slightly:
"That's the truth."

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I understand your concerns."

After some greetings, Yu Chanzi could see that Qingwei was not opposed to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and became more and more interested, and tried to persuade him further:
"Our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a loose alliance with no prejudice against family background. It aims to unite all cultivators, revive the cultivation world, restore the former glory, and resist the oppression of the imperial court."

“This is a good purpose.”

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly and made a pertinent comment.

There is nothing wrong with the purpose of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it is upright and aboveboard.

"Of course, otherwise how could our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance attract countless fellow practitioners to join in just a few decades and become one of the top forces in the cultivation world."

Yu Chanzi mentioned the development of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and he looked proud of it:

"Our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is divided into two halls, one is the Guardian Immortal Hall, and the other is the Scattered Immortal Hall."

"The Zhongxian Hall is the core hall of the Wanxian League and the center of the entire Wanxian League. The Sanxian Hall is a hall in each place. I am the head of the Sanxian Hall in Changle Prefecture and the alternate elder of the Zhongxian Hall. I am fully responsible for all matters of the Wanxian League in Changle Prefecture."

"Disrespect, disrespect."

The last time Qiu Zhen talked with Yu Chanzi, he was a little curious about the strength of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

After hearing the specific organizational structure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I was slightly surprised.

The power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is greater than he imagined.

Yu Chanzi is a Yin God master who has reached the realm of [Controlling Qi and Wandering Gods], and is only a substitute elder.

This means that there must be a "primordial spirit monster" level master among the elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cannot have only one elder, there must be a leader above them.
There is more than one "genshen old monster".

This force, looking at the whole world or in the eyes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, may not pose a fatal threat, but if it is placed in one place, it is definitely a behemoth.

It’s much more powerful than Yaowang Valley or something like that.

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, the Sanxian League does not have many rules. There will be no forced missions. Daoists in the league share what they have, help each other, discuss Taoism, share clues about immortal traces and fate, and explore together."

After Yu Chanzi finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then said:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, please join our Sanxian League. There is no need to do anything extra. Just make friends with a group of like-minded people."

Qiu Zhen became interested:

"What about the Guardians of Dao? Can I join them?"

"You want to join?"

Yu Chanzi became interested:
"Normally, you need to enter the Sanxian Hall and take assessments for a few years before you have the chance to enter the Zhongxian Hall. However, if you are interested, I am willing to guarantee you and make an exception to allow you to join the Zhongxian Hall. After entering the Zhongxian Hall, there are indeed more rules, but all kinds of mysterious immortal skills, magic spells, magical instruments, elixirs, and various resources are countless."

Qiu Zhen smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Yuchanzi, I am just asking. I am a casual cultivator and do not want to be restricted."

"No hurry, it's okay to enter the Sanxian Hall first."

Yu Chanzi was not disappointed.

First invite them to join the Scattered Immortal Hall, and after more interactions, it will be a piece of cake for them to enter the Common Immortal Hall.

This is the consistent method used by the [Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance] to recruit people, and it has always worked.

He never thought that he could bring "Taoist Qingwei" into the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in one go.

He was already very satisfied with what he had gained from this initial contact.

Immediately, Yu Chanzi looked at Qiu Zhen with an increasingly friendly expression, and greeted him:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, it's been half a month since we last met, but your demeanor of slaying demons with your sword still lingers in my mind. It's truly amazing."

Speaking of this, Yu Chanzi's eyes were full of envy.

The world of cultivating immortals is declining, and it is difficult for those who practice Taoism to achieve success. The biggest obstacle is the "devil's barrier".

If one is not careful, one may go astray and die.

Nowadays, everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is "afraid of the devil".

However, this Taoist friend Qingwei slays demons with his wise sword with ease.

Yu Chanzi's mind moved slightly, and he cupped his hands:

"I don't know how you cultivated your sexual skills. How come you are so powerful?"

After saying that, Yu Chanzi added another sentence and smiled awkwardly:
"This question is a bit presumptuous. If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"It's not that presumptuous." Qiu Zhen was not surprised at the situation at all. He smiled and explained:

"How could I have such a great ability? It is only thanks to Master's teachings and Master's protection that I have this ability."

"Master."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chanzi couldn't help but feel very curious.

At first, when he heard that Taoist Qingwei had no sect or school, he thought he was just lucky and had accidentally learned the method of cultivation and had great talent.

When he heard that he had a master and that he had been given the Taoist Qingwei's method of "slaying demons with the sword of wisdom", he suddenly became excited.

If Taoist Qingwei is highly gifted and can slay demons with his sword, outsiders cannot learn or imitate him and can only envy him.

But if one has a master who has a special method of using a sword to slay demons, then it will be a different story.

For a moment, Yu Chanzi was excited and asked quickly:

"I wonder who your master is?"

"The master's name is Xuanwei. Outsiders respectfully call him Xuanwei Zhenren. I wonder if Taoist Yuchanzi has heard of him?"

“This is a vague impression.”

Yu Chanzi felt embarrassed. In the ancient books, there were indeed masters named "Xuanwei Zi" and "Xuanwei Zhenren", and even immortals. However, in the current world of immortal cultivation, he had never heard of a strong man named "Xuanwei Zhenren".

Zhenren, a person who has achieved enlightenment through practicing Taoism is called "Zhenren", which is another name for immortals.

Nowadays, in the world of cultivating immortals, "True Immortals" are abused.

However, no matter how common the title is, to be honored as a "real person" by outsiders, one must at least be a "primordial spirit monster."

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

In such a big world, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It is normal that there is such an old monster who cultivates immortals named "Xuanwei Zhenren".

Yu Chanzi had no doubt at all.

The more I thought about it and connected it with what had happened before and after, the more excited I became.

It seemed that he had accidentally stumbled upon some great opportunity or secret.

Today, he originally planned to have a nice chat with Taoist Qingwei, describing the various benefits of joining the "Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance" to attract Taoist Qingwei to join.
But now, he had no such intention at all.

All I could think of was "Slay the Magic Gate".

Immediately, Yu Chanzi couldn't wait to ask:

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I wonder what method Senior Xuanwei taught that is so powerful that he could kill the demon general."

"Cough cough~"

Qiu Zhen coughed, and a look of annoyance flashed across his face. Then, he straightened his expression and said to Yu Chanzi:

"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, my master doesn't like others disturbing his meditation. Please don't go out and say anything, otherwise, my master will be furious."

"I know, I promise I won't say anything nonsense."

Yu Chanzi nodded repeatedly.

With such an opportunity and fortune, he would not speak easily even if others forced him to do so. How could he say anything nonsense and ruin the opportunity?

"That's good."

"Haha~ Daoist friend Yu Chanzi, I suddenly remembered that something happened at home, so I'll leave first."

Without saying a word, Qiu Zhen's Yin Shen disappeared into the Miro Palace.

"This"

When Yu Chanzi saw Taoist Qingwei running away, he was slightly stunned.

Then, he remembered something, and his consciousness sank into the [Miro Palace], intending to contact Taoist Qingwei.

The result disappointed him greatly - his telepathic message fell on deaf ears.

True Man Qingwei had no intention of replying to his message.

"What kind of method is this? It's so powerful."

Yu Chanzi's expression suddenly became extremely wonderful.

For a moment, it felt like there were thousands of ants crawling in my heart, and I felt extremely itchy.

Half an hour later.

Another place, Miro Palace.

"Hahahaha~"

Fairy Yunrou smiled:
"Qingwei, Yu Chanzi is troubled by sleepiness tonight and may have trouble falling asleep."

"Not only is it difficult for him to fall asleep, he probably has not been in the mood to practice these days."

Monk Zhenkong couldn't help but smile.

These days, he also mastered the [Method of Summoning the Monkey King].

After learning this method, there is no need to worry about the invasion of evil spirits. Practicing is much easier than before, and your skills improve faster.

Not to mention, if you encounter an invasion by foreign demons, this method can save your life and help you survive the demonic catastrophe.

Looking at the current world of immortal cultivation, no cultivator can resist the temptation of this [Monkey Mind Technique].

After listening to what Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong said, Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.

The three of them discussed for a long time and believed that pretending to be the master "Xuanwei Zhenren" to pass on the Dharma was the most reliable way.

After all, Qiu Zhen’s cultivation level is low at the moment and he cannot control the situation.

It is more convenient to pretend to be a great master and teach the Dharma on behalf of the master.

As for whether spreading the Dharma will cause trouble.
Qiu Zhen was not worried.

He practices the [Monkey Heart Dharma]. As the "Master of the Dharma", he possesses extremely high control power. With just a thought, he can seal the [Monkey Heart Dharma] and make it ineffective.

If you have not practiced [Monkey Mind Dharma], then there is nothing.

Once you have practiced [Mind Monkey Dharma] and obtained the protection of [Mind Monkey General], it will be difficult to leave it later.

"Qingwei, the Dharma cannot be taught in person, let him be left alone for now."

"The bait has been put down, and we just need to wait for someone to take the bait."

Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong, the two military advisors, offered advice and suggestions, and each of them was more concerned than Qiu Zhen.

"I can only leave him alone for now. I can't teach him the method right now. It will take at least one or two months to accumulate another [Mind Monkey Talisman]."

Qiu Zhen smiled. How long to leave the Jade Cicada hanging out to dry depends entirely on the progress of his cultivation.

It’s a good opportunity to see what Yu Chanzi’s character is like.

"How are you two doing? When do you plan to return to Aoki?"

Qiu was really curious.

In the past half month, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong were not in Qingmu. One returned to the temple where she once became a monk, and the other returned to the Liu family in Changle Prefecture.

"I'm afraid it will take some time."

Monk Zhenkong sighed with emotion:
"Originally, I thought the masters had a lot of complaints about me, but unexpectedly, eh, I plan to stay a few more days."

"As it should be!"

Fairy Yunrou smiled and said to Qiu Zhen:
"Qingwei, I have returned to the capital recently and got the thunder technique. I will go back tomorrow and give it to you."

Qiu Zhen waved his hand:
"No hurry, no hurry."

"It's really not urgent. I'll stay for a few more days."

"Fairy, I don't care about thunder magic. The main thing is that I haven't discussed Taoism with you for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Fairy Yunrou smiled.
