I became an immortal in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 35 A Fierce Tiger Comes to the Door
Before Yuan Danqiu could react, he and Meng Haoran were suddenly surrounded by Taoist priests.

Among them, Master Lian Yue, who was closest to him, asked the most urgently.

"Was that gentle breeze just now because of Mr. Jiang?"

"Master Yuan, do you know that master? I wonder where the noise came from just now, and what was that person doing in the alchemy room? Could you please introduce us?"

"Could that person be a master of alchemy?"

"I'm afraid even the truly enlightened ones are no more than this!"

"I have never heard of such a person before. I suppose he is a hermit who lives in seclusion, accompanied by clouds and mist!"

Yuan Danqiu and Meng Haoran were surrounded by a barrage of questions. The Taoists, witnessing such a miraculous event, displayed a greater enthusiasm than ordinary people, to the point of being fanatical.

Yuan Danqiu felt dizzy and his head was throbbing from the questions.

He said, "How would I know? Mr. Jiang never said he could refine pills..."

"Master Meng, please tell them quickly!"

……

……

The forest was lush and green, and many creatures had benefited greatly from it.

The old deer mountain god expressed his gratitude.

This azure energy was not drawn from thin air, but rather a vital force born from the harmony of heaven and earth. It would soon be gradually dispersed by the winds of heaven and earth, drifting to places beyond Xiangzhou.

But this is already an extremely rare and precious opportunity.

The spirits of mountains, rivers, and lakes, and all mortals and spirits, benefit from this.

Jiang She laughed and said, "I've just been listening to a lot of alchemy techniques these past few days, and I found them interesting. I got the idea and just wanted to give it a try."

"It begins with enthusiasm and ends when the enthusiasm fades."

"Why is the mountain god so polite?"

The mountain god smiled wryly: "On a whim, such a commotion has startled this humble god quite a bit."

Jiang She only intended to extract some green energy and some spiritual essence from the mountains to see if he could make a pill.

Little did they know that the heavens and earth resonated with it, not only absorbing the verdant energy of the entire mountain, but also influencing the whole of Xiangzhou and even several surrounding prefectures.

Fortunately, it's not a bad thing.

Jiang She stopped thinking about it after he had finished.

He took out two medicine bottles from his sleeve, one made of blue jade and the other of white porcelain.

The old deer mountain god saw this and thought to himself, Mr. Jiang's sleeves are not very big, and I didn't hear the sound of medicine bottles clinking. Where did he get these things from?
Could it be some profound Taoist technique?

Just thinking about it.

Then Jiang She poured out a blue pill.

Bright light shines through, perfectly round and full.

Jiang She asked, "This is my first time refining elixirs. I don't know how good these elixirs are, or what the mountain god thinks of them."

As the elixir appeared in the mountains and fields, a very pure and fragrant medicinal aroma suddenly arose. Birds flew through the forest and hovered in the air. Sounds came from the grass and bushes. Mountain beasts coveted it, but were driven away by the mountain god with a wave of his hand.

"If this is not of the highest quality, then I am afraid I do not know of any pills that can be called of the highest quality."

Jiang She understood what had just happened.

As for the remaining jade bottle, he understood it somewhat and asked no more questions.

The mountain god and the earth god watched helplessly as he put the two bottles back into his sleeves, never knowing what was in the other bottle.

He barely managed to suppress the wandering thoughts in his mind.

The mountain god raised his hand and said, "Congratulations, sir, on obtaining this method of alchemy."

The local deity also offered his congratulations.

As they were talking, a tiger's roar suddenly came from the distant mountains and forests.

Mount Lumen.

The tiger squinted and lay prone on the boulder.

The tiger's tail swayed impatiently.

After hearing what Red Fox said, he asked, "Did they really say that?"

The red fox exhaled from its nostrils and said, "It's already spread all over the foot of the mountain. I only heard it from those people who were offering incense at the Taoist temple."

"Do the immortals know?"

"That's what they said in front of the gods." A look of human-like fear and anger appeared on the tiger's face. He swayed his tail uneasily, pacing back and forth in the forest, and asked, "Can the gods be trusted?"

How would I know?

"Do you dare to ask the gods?"

The tiger roared and cursed, "Since we were enlightened and became intelligent, we have never eaten people, let alone harmed people's property or even killed their entire families as you say."

"They even blamed me for the Lu family's misfortunes!"

"What will the immortals think of me?"

……

……

A mountain stream flows gently through the city, and the Han River flows through Xiangzhou, creating the unique landscape of the two cities, north and south. The north city is Xiangyang, and the south city is Fancheng.

One river, two banks, sharing the same moon and sky.

At the same time, the Han River serves as a natural barrier, while Mount Xian and Mount Lumen provide cover, making this land easy to defend and difficult to attack. In ancient times, it was a battleground fought over by many military strategists.

The Han River flows through it, and shipping thrives there, with caravans constantly coming and going, making Xiangyang exceptionally prosperous. Jiang She once read a poem that said, "From the gorges of Ba and Wu, one can travel down to Xiangyang and then on to Luoyang."

The direction in which this mountain stream eventually converges is the Han River.

Chenjia Village is located on a tributary of the Han River, which is advantageous for farming. Seventy percent of the land in the village belongs to the Chen family, who control the area and are considered wealthy among the local gentry.

Chen Erniu was a branch of the family that had separated many years ago, and to the main family, he was more like a servant without a contract.

These past few days, Chen Erniu's life has been much better.

The master of the house specially invited him to speak in the house, and even servants from the county town invited him to drink tea. All they asked was for him to tell the whole story of what happened that day, in detail, so that his husband and wife would find it interesting.

As they talked, Chen Erniu, wanting to earn more money for tea, went over his story with his nephew and added a lot of details.

I dare not speak carelessly about matters involving ghosts and spirits.

It was nothing more than adding some descriptions, such as how magnificent the banquet was that my nephew heard at night, and what the few words he overheard were, and I filled in a few more sentences myself.

He then described what the music and singing he heard sounded like, and Chen Erniu even tried humming along. The servants listened with furrowed brows, refraining from interrupting.

"that's it?"

"How did the immortal subdue the tiger?"

"I didn't see the immortal subdue the tiger, and I dare not say more."

"I didn't dare to look closely at what the immortal looked like, but I remember he was very handsome. The immortal was wearing a blue robe with long sleeves. Yes, yes, it should be what you call wide sleeves. We country folk don't understand this."

"When we came out of the bamboo forest, Dalang and I initially thought we had encountered a ghost."

"A person dressed in white was following behind the deity. I couldn't see his face clearly, but he walked with the deity and had a particularly fragrant smell of wine on him."

Chen Erniu had recalled what he saw that night countless times over the past few days, and it was now etched in his memory.

"I was too scared at the time. Now that I think about it, the wine smelled so good, it must have been the wine that immortals would drink."

The servants listened attentively.

He was a servant in Magistrate Cheng's household, and he had driven this long distance specifically to inquire about this matter. Stories of immortals are rarely heard of.

During this time, I heard many anecdotes in Xiangyang.

The county magistrate was so impatient that he wrote letters almost three times a day urging his friend to finish the article quickly so that a craftsman could erect a stele and carve it on it.

“Tell me more, think carefully, is there anything I’ve overlooked? I need to get back to the city before dark.”

In the city...

Chen Erniu suddenly remembered.

"By the way, that deity went north, towards the city!"

The servant was startled.

Is the immortal that Chen Erniu mentioned in Xiangyang?
Chen Erniu was drinking tea with his head down. So many people had asked him these past few days that he had been talking about it from morning till night. He would talk about it in the village during the day, and then he would talk about it again at home or his uncle's house when he got back at night. His throat was so dry it was practically burning.

Suddenly, a tiger's roar rang in my ears, deafeningly loud.

"Roar----"

The birds scattered.
