The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1063: Junior Nephew, Roll It Up! Tianjizi relied on his divination skills to spend a day in the market town and collected more than two hundred immortal stones.

Since there were very few cultivators whose faces clearly indicated they were about to suffer misfortune, he no longer had the opportunity to stop people and forcefully sell to them.

Few cultivators actively seek him out for divination, and he cannot set a price; he always pays according to the other party's wishes.

Fortunately, he could use this as a cover to travel and make money along the way, so he could always earn enough for his travel expenses.

Tianjizi has already found out that this is Yanzhou.

It seems he was quite lucky; he wasn't unlucky enough to be assigned to another state.

Since it was Yanzhou, he made money by fortune-telling along the way and traveled around, first heading to Qianfu City.

After all, this is the only place Xiao Han left behind where it's possible to find her.

It is extremely rare for cultivators to be willing to have their fortunes told or their palms read. In particular, those with higher cultivation levels are even less likely to seek out Tianjizi for divination.

Fortunately, the immortal stones that Tianjizi earned were only used for things like lodging, which were unavoidable expenses, and what he earned was barely enough to cover his costs.

However, he would find it difficult to raise the necessary funds for the transfer in the short term.

Then, after Tianjizi went through many hardships to reach Qianfu City and inquire at the Fudao Alliance, he found that the talisman masters on duty were of low rank and only knew that Xiao Han had not appeared in the Fudao Alliance for several hundred years. As for where she was now, they had no idea.

Tianjizi was very disappointed and could only continue his travels under the guise of divination.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Just when Tianjizi was about to give up his travels and find a place to stay, his good fortune came again.

That day, while Tianjizi was drinking tea in the lobby of a teahouse, he suddenly overheard two cultivators discussing the Taichu Temple.

Cultivator A: "Have you heard? The Taichu Temple, with a Celestial King in charge, has started recruiting disciples again. However, they only recruit cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm. I don't know what use it is for this Celestial King to recruit a bunch of low-level cultivators. He has to handle everything by himself."

Cultivator B: "You don't understand. If he's not simply occupying territory and recruiting helpers, but wants to cultivate a group of cultivators who are loyal to him and have a sense of belonging to the Taichu Temple, then it would be best to start by cultivating the lowest-level Human Immortal cultivators."

Cultivator A: "But if we do that, then a Celestial King has to do everything and be a beast of burden for a bunch of other Celestial Realm cultivators. That's just too frustrating."

Monk B: "They're willing, what can you do about it?"

Upon hearing the words "Tai Chu Guan," Tianjizi felt a surge of excitement.

However, this Taichu Temple sounds like it was recently established and has no connection with the Taichu Temple on the Yuantian Continent. It is not a lineage passed down from ancient times.

But Tianjizi still decided to go and take a look.

He's already been wandering for so long, what's a little more time?

So Tianjizi went over and started chatting with the two cultivators who were also at the Earth Immortal Realm.

“Fellow Daoists, I am very interested in your discussion of Taichu Temple and would like to learn more about it. Please accept my tea.”

The two monks were naturally happy to accept the invitation to a meal.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tianjizi sat down at their table and began to inquire about the more specific details.

"Do you two know the name of the abbot of the Taichu Temple?"

Cultivator A: "The abbot is none other than Immortal King Shangguan. He's the only high-level cultivator in this temple, so he must be the abbot."

Tianjizi's heart pounded; it seemed that his deepest, most secret thought was about to come true.

He continued, "Is the name of Immortal King Shangguan Yunfei?"

Monk A and Monk B nodded simultaneously.

Overwhelmed with joy, Tianjizi was overwhelmed. After ten years of searching, he had found it without any effort.

He inquired about the location of Taichu Temple and, after learning its exact address, Tianjizi immediately bid farewell to the two, paid for their tea, and then flew towards Taichu Temple.

Taichu Temple is built on a mountain that is not steep but is full of spiritual energy.

At the mountain gate, Tianjizi shouted loudly to the two Immortal Realm cultivators guarding the gate, "Go quickly and inform your abbot, Shangguan Yunfei, that his uncle, Tianjizi, has arrived."

The two cultivators guarding the mountain gate exchanged a glance, and one of them turned and ran inside.

Soon, a middle-aged cultivator in a Taoist robe, who was at the Earth Immortal realm, and the disciple guarding the mountain gate arrived together.

The middle-aged cultivator glared at the arrogant, short, stout old Taoist priest standing before the mountain gate. "You claim to be the uncle of Shangguan Xianwang, the abbot of my Taichu Temple. Do you have any proof?"

Tianjizi rolled his eyes and said, "What evidence do you need? I am the evidence. Quickly bring out that brat Yunfei."

The middle-aged cultivator was immediately enraged, "Even if you really are our abbot's uncle, as a mere Earth Immortal cultivator, you should still show some respect to a Celestial King."

Tianjizi had been searching for this person for ten years, and now that he had finally found him, he was annoyed by the other party's dawdling and obstruction.

"Tell me, isn't your abbot named Shangguan Yunfei? As long as it's him, let alone a Celestial King or even a Celestial Venerable, he'll have to respectfully call me 'Uncle-Master' when he sees me."

Seeing his arrogant tone, the middle-aged cultivator hesitated.

So he softened his tone and said, "Our abbot is not in the temple at the moment."

Tianjizi said, "Surely someone in this temple can contact him. You should contact him immediately and tell him that his uncle, Tianjizi, has arrived."

The middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment, then took out his communication magic item, preparing to make a call.

Just then, a joyful voice came from high above, "Uncle-Master, you've ascended!"

Immediately, a figure landed beside Tianjizi; it was Shangguan Yunfei.

Tianjizi grabbed him, "Yunfei, your martial uncle has been looking for you for so long!"

Then, the two disciples guarding the mountain gate and the middle-aged cultivator looked at their Immortal King Abbot with shocked expressions, and gently comforted the short, fat old Taoist, "I'll take care of things from now on, so Uncle-Master won't have to suffer anymore."

Once inside the Taichu Temple, after catching up, Tianjizi was filled with shock. "You're saying Xiao Han has already ascended to the God Realm?"

Shangguan Yunfei nodded.

Tianjizi slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "The first time I met her, I couldn't see through her destiny. I knew then that she was no ordinary person. Sure enough, some people have strange destinies that cannot be judged by common sense."

Then, with a look of regret, he said, "It's a pity I'll never see her again. Otherwise, with my current ability to read faces, I should be able to see some clues."

Then, Shangguan Yunfei mentioned that Yun Que had also ascended to immortality, and that Shui Wuhen had advanced to the rank of Immortal Venerable.

Tianjizi immediately became anxious.

"You used to be the boss, but look at you now, they're all stronger than you. And you're still bothered with this Taichu Temple? From now on, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the temple. You should focus on cultivating and advancing to the Immortal Venerable level. You can't let them all surpass you."

This junior apprentice has always been his pride and joy; how could he let these younger generations outshine him?

P.S.: Fellow Daoists, let's support this cause with some love!
