I am a living immortal.

Li Hengyi changed into clean clothes first: "Let's see what Yan'er chooses first."

"That's all it can do."

The two of them looked at the fairy stone on the table in silence, and for a moment they marveled at the wonder of the world.

At this time, Li Yan didn't know about this matter. He was sitting in the school and reading the classics with his teacher.

Li Yan can't say that he likes reading, but he doesn't hate it either. For him, reading Zhihuzheye and other books is like a description of scenery, which already exists. He prefers those philosophical and poetic books that explore the mysteries of heaven and earth.

It seemed just like the question he asked.

An exploration of the essence.

The teacher explained in great detail, but it was a bit boring to Li Yan.

Looking up at the clear winter sky, I fell into deep thought unconsciously.

Forgot about time for a moment

Sudden.

The sound of a ruler hitting the table brought Li Yan back to his senses.

"You're distracted again."

"Sorry!" Li Yan immediately stood up and apologized.

"What are you looking at that makes you so fascinated?" the gentleman asked curiously.

“I’m looking at nature.”

Li Yan's answer immediately caused a lot of laughter.

Many people cannot understand how wonderful the world is in Li Yan's eyes, nor can they understand why he is fascinated by looking at the sky that remains unchanged day after day and year after year.

Including teachers.

The teacher leaned forward and looked in the direction Li Yan was looking, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He gave up and looked at Li Yan seriously, saying, "To read literature, one must first learn the characters. To observe the universe, one must first understand the principles. If you don't keep your feet on the ground, you will only be aiming too high."

"Do you understand the reason?" the teacher asked, looking into Li Yan's eyes.

"I understand!" Li Yan lowered his head in shame.

"Since you understand, why don't you listen?" the gentleman continued to ask.

"I……"

"Excuse! I may not know nature, but I respect you."

"If you don't want to feel useless, please respect me."

"You must know that without knowledge, you cannot become a talent. Without common sense, how can you explore nature?"

"See? What can you really see? There have been so many great talents throughout history, and their poems and songs cannot describe all the various aspects of nature. You can't even finish reading all the books, so how can you understand nature?"

The gentleman's words, like the morning bell and evening drum, opened a crack in Li Yan's heart and made him stand there in a daze.

"Sorry! Sir, I understand." Li Yan looked at the gentleman, and this time he really understood.

The gentleman looked at Li Yan with satisfaction and continued to pick up the book.

After that, Li Yan no longer showed signs of being absent-minded, and it would never happen again.

The teacher's words in the school were like a ray of light shining through the darkness, which made Li Yan understand the reason why he didn't know and didn't understand. If he wanted to understand, he should start from the most basic. There is a way in the books, and the predecessors have said. He didn't think that he was the only one who saw this wonderful world in thousands of years. There must be other people like him. There are books, thousands of books, and thousands of miles. If he reads, walks, and sees, he will understand.

After figuring all this out, Li Yan suddenly felt enlightened.

After taking this step, he became Li Yan, not Li Xianzun, but the Li Yan who wrote "Natural Volume" in later generations. He was not smart and even failed the imperial examination twice, but it never prevented him from looking at the world with his inquiring eyes.

He read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.

Although he never fully understood the mysteries of heaven and earth until his death, he summarized countless laws governing the operation of heaven and earth, which spread throughout all countries and influenced millions of people.

His legendary life began in an unknown county town under the guidance of an unknown teacher.

The journey was extremely bumpy, but it did not prevent Li Yan from walking for eighty-three years without slacking off.

There is one thing that many people don’t know.

After his death, Li Yan refused to be recruited by the Heavenly Court and did not become an immortal or a god. Instead, he entered the Tao as a human and practiced the cycle of life and death given to the world by nature.

In his words, he studies nature and must return to nature. The cycle of life and death is also natural, and he deserves to experience it.

He did not achieve immortality, but his influence lasted for thousands of years.

Can be called a sage.

…………

Fuling Sect.

Lin Fu's face suddenly changed. He counted with his fingers and then dejectedly said, "So fast! How could it be so fast? He couldn't even touch it."

Su Mu was sitting aside. He knew what Lin Fu was talking about. Li Yan had already figured out his own path before he came into contact with the immortal way. Everything Lin Fu did became a dream bubble. People like Li Yan, once they have chosen the path, will go on without any worries and unwaveringly.

But Lin Fu’s interference was not without cost.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The whole person ages rapidly, his black hair turns white, and old wrinkles cover his entire face. This is a punishment from heaven, the price of interfering with the operation of heaven and earth. How many people in this world can be called saints? The saints of the human race carry on the tradition and open up the future.

The cause and effect involved are so huge that it is hard to imagine.

Lin Fu's attempt to interfere with the birth of a sage failed, but the price was still too high for him to bear.

He quickly took out the pill and swallowed it, and the aging process slowed down.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that everything returned to normal. The wrinkles disappeared, but the white hair did not disappear, and he was not as relaxed as he seemed.

Lin Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Su still sees it clearly."

"It's just that a bystander sees more clearly."

Su Mu raised her hand and poured him a glass of wine, pushing it in front of Lin Fu: "Drink it, maybe you will feel better."

This monkey wine has not been finished yet, and it has undergone tremendous changes. Su Mu explained that the wine has been affected by the Taoist rhyme and has become extraordinary. In fact, this is not brewed from ordinary fruits.

Lin Fu looked at the golden spirit wine, wiped the bright red from the corner of his mouth, and drank it in one gulp.

It tasted spicy at first, then the aroma of wine, and finally spiritual energy rushed into his limbs and bones. The traces of Taoism circulated around and began to soothe and heal the backlash he had suffered, and his complexion became much better.

The damage Lin Fu suffered was not as simple as it seemed.

It wasn't something that Su Mu could solve with just a glass of wine, but at least it was getting much better and wouldn't get worse again.

"Thank you!" He felt much better.

Sitting back in the chair, he still felt a sense of loss. He had already expected this ending, but he still felt a little unwilling.

Unfortunately, what's the point of being unwilling? There's no turning back.

Lin Fu let out a long breath and finally let out all his resentment. Anyone who could become an immortal cultivator must have an extraordinary character. He quickly adjusted his mentality, and the bloodstains on his clothes disappeared without a trace. Except for his white hair, he seemed no different from before.

He looked at Su Mu again: "I have made a fool of myself, Fellow Daoist Su."

Su Mu shook his head slowly. This was not a joke. Although it was the inevitable outcome of Lin Fu's willful behavior, he would not treat it as a joke.

"Would you like another drink?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Su, but it's not necessary. I brought this upon myself. Just take it as a warning."

"I mean, have a drink..."
