At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

Su Rui hurriedly asked Chi Jiao to take him and follow Yuan Ning's sword light, and also plunged into the big cave.

The cave looked dark from the outside, no different from any ordinary cave in the mountains, but that was just a trick. After entering, Su Rui discovered that there was sunlight shining in, and it was very dry and bright.

The cave seemed huge when viewed from Golden Whip Cliff, but once inside, it was even bigger than imagined.

The space here is vast, I don't know how many acres it is, with rugged rocks, green grass, ancient trees, fragrant plum blossoms, flying butterflies, and docile animals such as sheep, sika deer, long-tailed pheasants, sika deer and white cranes living and breeding. It is just like the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming, and Su Rui's understanding of the paradise is no more than this.

The cave is a little deeper, and there is a protruding small mountain range. On the mountain range stands a small Taoist temple of only a few acres in size. A stream that originates from nowhere flows under the small mountain range and condenses into seven or eight small clear springs, adding a lot of vitality to the cave.

After Yuan Ning's sword light entered the cave, it went straight to the Taoist temple on the small mountain range.

Su Rui and Chi Jiao had no choice but to follow his escape light, and finally landed on a three-meter-wide broken rock platform in front of the Taoist temple.

The boy and girl who followed Yuan Ning also followed Chen Zhen and pressed the escape light to land here.

"Junior brother Su, this is Dajiaoping. When we enter and leave the mountain gate, we will control and retract our swords here to prevent the sword energy from rushing through the gate and losing respect." Seeing Su Rui settled down, Yuan Ning began to introduce him to the place diligently.

"Isn't this the same as a helipad?" Su Rui thought to himself when he heard this.

There is a small stone staircase connecting Dajiaoping to the gate of the Taoist temple. The stone staircase is straight, like a sword energy rushing out of the Taoist temple.

At this time, Su Rui looked at the Taoist temple and found that it seemed to be cast in bronze. Although the exterior also revealed red walls and green tiles, the foundation and many exposed areas were dark gold with a hint of verdigris, appearing very ancient and solemn.

After Yuan Ning introduced Dajiaoping, he didn't say another word and walked up the stone steps towards the Taoist temple.

Behind Su Rui, the young man walking side by side with Chen Zhen saw Su Rui looking at the Taoist temple with a little surprise, so he said, "Brother Su, do you also see the extraordinaryness of the Taoist temple? It is said that this Taoist temple was built by the founder using copper from the First Copper Mountain and refined with secret methods, and it has already produced magic weapon spirits. However, I have never seen this Taoist temple spirit in such a long time since I entered the sect, and I don’t know whether the rumor is true or not!"

"Master, what a generous move!" Su Rui expressed his surprise appropriately, and took the opportunity to ask, "I haven't asked for your name, brother?"

"My name is Zhang Beiyang. I'm currently an inner disciple serving in the Foreign Affairs Hall. If Junior Brother Su needs to receive any missions from our sect in the future, you can look for me!" The young man responded with a fist salute.

“I’ll be in trouble for you, Senior Brother Zhang, then!” Su Rui responded with a fist salute.

Then, Su Rui looked at the girl beside him and said with a smile, "I haven't asked for your name, Sister?"

"My name is Yu Shuangshuang, you can call me Senior Sister Shuangshuang!" The girl responded with a sweet smile.

"Is Senior Sister Shuangshuang also serving in the Foreign Affairs Hall?" Su Rui asked in order to open the topic.

Yu Shuangshuang shook her head and responded, "I serve in the Law Enforcement Hall with Senior Brother Yuan!"

Su Rui heard this and thought to himself, "I don't know where I will be assigned to serve!"

The distance between Dajiaoping and the Taoist temple was not far, and as they were all fast walkers, they reached the gate of the temple in no time.

At this time, the gate of the Taoist temple was already open. Su Rui could feel the smoke wafting out from inside, and the strange fragrance was in the air. From time to time, the crisp sounds of cymbals and chimes could be heard, making the atmosphere of the Taoist temple even more otherworldly.

A plaque with three distorted characters "Xuanmiao Temple" inscribed on it hung on the door lintel. It looked like a child's play, but upon closer inspection it made one feel that it contained a hint of the profound truth of Taoism. Su Rui didn't know if he had over-interpreted it.

There were disciples guarding the door, and Yuan Ning did not hesitate at all. He simply stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Su Rui followed him across the threshold and walked into the Xuanmiao Taoist temple.

The front yard of the Taoist temple is no different from that of ordinary Taoist temples, with two Wofeng Bridges and further inside is the Lingguan Hall. Behind the Lingguan Hall are two drum towers side by side on the left and right. Further inside the drum towers are the God of Wealth Hall and the Three Officials Hall, further back is the Jade Emperor Hall, and behind the Jade Emperor Hall is the Patriarch Hall.

Su Rui followed Yuan Ning through the corridor and finally stopped in the ancestral hall.

"I'll take you to see the headmaster first, and then I'll take you to the list after seeing the headmaster!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan!" After entering the mountain, one naturally has to pay homage to the mountain top first. Su Rui naturally had no objection to this arrangement.

After Yuan Ning finished explaining, he took Su Rui directly into the Ancestral Hall. When they got to the hall, they saw an old Taoist with white hair and beard holding a whisk sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the center of the Ancestral Hall, humming a tune and gnawing on a chicken leg.

Seeing Yuan Ning walking in with Su Rui and others, he looked at the chicken leg in his hand, then looked at everyone, and threw the chicken leg behind him reluctantly...

Then he coughed as if nothing had happened and said, "Yuan Ning, what brings you here?"

Yuan Ning bowed respectfully, then lowered his voice and said, "Reporting to the headmaster, this Su Qinghe is the new disciple of Master Yu'e. According to Master Yu'e's wishes, Junior Brother Su will be included in the list of true disciples!"

Su Rui and others hurriedly followed suit and bowed respectfully.

The old Taoist took one look at Su Rui, and Su Rui immediately felt as if his entire body, inside and out, was seen through, and his entire body went cold.

After looking at Su Rui, the old Taoist counted with his fingers, and suddenly seemed to have figured out something happy. He laughed out loud, and flicked his sleeves at Yuan Ning, Su Rui and the others, and said in a muffled voice: "Just do as Senior Brother Yu'e wishes!"

"Disciple obeys your order!" Yuan Ning bowed and responded.

Su Rui also bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude. He was a little scared, wondering if his life experience of traveling through time and space had been seen through by this unfathomable headmaster.

After Su Rui followed Yuan Ning out of the Patriarch Hall, Yuan Ning took him to the left wing of the Patriarch Hall, a small hall called "Yangfang" by Taoists. He said a few words to the Qingcheng disciple on duty in the hall. The Qingcheng disciple took out an inkstone and asked Su Rui to drop a drop of blood from his finger, use the blood to grind the ink, and then wrote the seven words "True Disciple Su Qinghe" on two wooden signs. He also used magic to pull a hair from his head and put it on an oil lamp without a wick, using the tiny hair as a wick to help him light a life soul lamp.

Yuan Ning handed him the wooden plaque with Su Rui's blood and his name written on it.

After doing all this, Su Rui became an official disciple of the Qingcheng Sect!

Afterwards, Yuan Ning was unwilling to accompany him anymore, and asked Su Rui to take his identity card and walk through each hall one by one to receive some benefits of a true disciple and choose a cave for cultivation.

Looking at the backs of Yuan Ning and the other two as they left, Su Rui suddenly remembered that he had not yet asked Yuan Ning and the others whether True Man Yu'e had other disciples.
