Chapter 144: My Teacher, Real Person Xuanwei
The Myriad Immortals Alliance invites me to join?
Qiu Zhen played with the jade token in his hand, a sudden interest arising in his heart.
If it were a year ago, and someone invited him to join a cultivation organization, he would have refused without hesitation.
With his weak strength and the great secret he harbored, casually joining a cultivation organization and getting involved in unknown disputes was not the act of a wise man.
A single misstep could land him in danger.
Times change.
Now, his mindset had undergone earth-shattering changes.
On one hand, he had the power to protect himself and the confidence to interact with the outside world.
On the other hand, spreading the 【Mind Monkey Great Art】 and establishing a lineage of cultivation required him to contact fellow cultivators from all sides.
Before the lineage took shape, joining a cultivation organization and forming friendships was a good way to "borrow a chicken to lay an egg."
Even if the Myriad Immortals Alliance didn't approach him, he planned to actively contact cultivation organizations and make friends.
Yu Chanzi's invitation was perfectly timed.
Of course, Qiu Zhen wasn't hasty, using his divine sense to transmit his voice:
"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, I wonder what the procedure is for joining the Myriad Immortals Alliance? Once I join, what obligations and benefits will I have?"
"Daoist Qingwei, come to the Miro Palace for a detailed discussion."
Hearing the divine sense transmission, Qiu Zhen didn't hesitate, his Yin spirit leaving his body and flying into the jade token.
Inside the Miro Palace.
Yu Chanzi wore a deep purple Daoist robe, a Daoist crown on his head, his face calm, holding a horsetail whisk, exuding an aura of transcendence, truly embodying the demeanor of a high-ranking Daoist priest.
In fact, with his cultivation of 【Driving Qi Wandering Spirit】, Yu Chanzi was definitely worthy of being called a high-ranking Xuanmen priest, highly respected in the cultivation world, a guest of honor wherever he went.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, this humble Daoist greets you."
Seeing the young Daoist who appeared in the hall, a kind smile quickly appeared on Yu Chanzi's serious and calm face:
"Daoist Qingwei is truly capable, able to kill a Vice Commander of the Demon Suppression Division while besieged by the imperial army, truly venting a grievance for us cultivators."
Qiu Zhen smiled faintly.
The Demon Suppression Division was ashamed to mention his killing of Lin Shoulong, rarely revealing the specific details of the fight, but the general situation still spread, coupled with his demon-slaying feats in the Immortal Trace Secret Realm.
The name "Daoist Qingwei" had begun to emerge in the Chang Le Prefecture cultivation world, gaining some prestige.
"With the help of fellow Daoists, it wasn't my accomplishment alone."
Qiu Zhen smiled, meaningfully saying:
"Last time, I was able to escape thanks to Yu Chanzi and the fellow Daoists of the Myriad Immortals Alliance holding off the main force of the Demon Suppression Division and the Jade Dragon Army."
Yu Chanzi heard the meaning in his words and felt slightly embarrassed.
The Myriad Immortals Alliance suffered significant losses last time, losing several Yin spirit experts, even alarming the Alliance Master.
This matter, after the Chang Le Prefecture Demon Suppression Division's publicity campaign, had spread throughout the entire Chang Le Prefecture.
"I am ashamed, I was unable to save my fellow Daoists, barely managing to protect myself."
Yu Chanzi didn't deny the losses of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, sighing before saying:
"Now, the cultivation world is declining, we cultivators are like rats crossing the street, hated by everyone, the situation is very bad, and because of this, we cultivators should be united, helping each other, otherwise, the outcome will be even more miserable."
These words were heartfelt and sincere from Yu Chanzi.
The path of cultivation was declining, and becoming a "Yin spirit expert," in addition to one's own talent, also required precious "Foundation Building Wonders." Cultivating a Yin spirit expert was more difficult than a Xiantian martial artist.
Among those of the same level, Yin spirit experts didn't have a clear advantage over Xiantian martial artists, having strengths and weaknesses, the outcome of a fight depending entirely on the specific situation.
Only Yuan Shen old monsters who had cultivated to the "Refining Qi Transforming Spirit" realm could completely surpass martial arts grandmasters of the same rank.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult to cultivate into a "Yuan Shen old monster," it would be an exaggeration to say that they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and it might not even be possible to give birth to one in several years or even decades.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, however, gave birth to martial arts grandmasters from time to time, very steadily.
If the situation was good, several martial arts grandmasters could be born in a year, with outstanding talents emerging in large numbers.
The strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all.
Qiu Zhen also knew that the environment for cultivators was harsh, and agreed with Yu Chanzi's words, nodding slightly:
"That's the truth."
"Daoist Qingwei, I know your concerns."
After a brief exchange, Yu Chanzi could see that Qingwei wasn't resistant to the Myriad Immortals Alliance, his interest growing, and he further persuaded:
"Our Myriad Immortals Alliance is a loose alliance, without any prejudice, aiming to unite all cultivators, revitalize the cultivation world, restore its former glory, and resist the oppression of the imperial court."
"This purpose is good."
Qiu Zhen nodded slightly, giving a fair evaluation.
The main purpose of the Myriad Immortals Alliance wasn't flawed, it was upright and just.
"That's natural, otherwise, how could our Myriad Immortals Alliance attract countless fellow Daoists to join in just a few decades, becoming one of the top forces in the cultivation world."
Yu Chanzi mentioned the development of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, looking very proud:
"Our Myriad Immortals Alliance is divided into two halls, one is the Righteous Immortal Hall, and the other is the Loose Immortal Hall."
"The Righteous Immortal Hall is the core hall of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, the central hub of the entire Myriad Immortals Alliance, while the Loose Immortal Hall is one hall in each region. I am the hall master of the Chang Le Prefecture Loose Immortal Hall, a candidate elder of the Righteous Immortal Hall, fully responsible for all matters of the Myriad Immortals Alliance in the Chang Le Prefecture area."
"I am impressed."
Qiu Zhen was curious about the strength of the Myriad Immortals Alliance when he last talked with Yu Chanzi.
Now, hearing the specific composition of the Myriad Immortals Alliance's organization, he was slightly shocked.
The power of the Myriad Immortals Alliance was greater than he imagined.
Yu Chanzi was a Yin spirit expert in the 【Driving Qi Wandering Spirit】 realm, but he was only a candidate elder.
This meant that there must be "Yuan Shen old monster" level experts among the elders of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
The Myriad Immortals Alliance couldn't have only one elder, and there must be an alliance master above.
More than one "Yuan Shen old monster."
This kind of power, looking at the world, or in the eyes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, might not constitute a fatal threat, but in one place, it was definitely a behemoth.
Much larger than the Medicine King Valley and the like.
"Daoist Qingwei, the rules of the Loose Immortal Alliance aren't many, there won't be any mandatory errands, the fellow Daoists in the alliance exchange what they have for what they need, help each other, discuss the Dao, share clues about immortal traces and opportunities, and explore together."
Yu Chanzi said, pondering for a moment, then added:
"Daoist Qingwei, joining our Loose Immortal Alliance doesn't require you to do anything, just consider it making friends with a group of fellow Daoists."
Qiu Zhen became interested:
"Then what about the Righteous Immortal Hall? Can I join?"
"You want to join?"
Yu Chanzi became interested:
"In general, fellow Daoists need to enter the Loose Immortal Hall and be assessed for a few years before they have a chance to enter the Righteous Immortal Hall. However, if fellow Daoist is willing, I am willing to vouch for you, making an exception to let you join the Righteous Immortal Hall. After entering the Righteous Immortal Hall, there are indeed more rules, but all kinds of profound immortal techniques, spells, and divine powers, magic weapons, elixirs, and all kinds of resources are countless."
Qiu Zhen smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, I'm just asking. I am a rogue cultivator and don't want to be restrained."
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you enter the Loose Immortal Hall first."
Yu Chanzi wasn't disappointed.
Inviting him into the Loose Immortal Hall first, and then having more interactions later, entering the Righteous Immortal Hall would be a natural thing.
This was the consistent approach of the 【Myriad Immortals Alliance】 to attract people, and it never failed.
He never thought that he could pull "Daoist Qingwei" into the Myriad Immortals Alliance all at once.
With this initial contact, he was already very satisfied.
Immediately, Yu Chanzi looked at Qiu Zhen, his expression becoming more amiable as he greeted him warmly:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, it's been only half a month, but the elegance of your Wisdom Sword vanquishing demons is still vivid in my mind, truly astonishing."
Speaking of this, Yu Chanzi's eyes were filled with envy.
The world of cultivation is declining, and it's difficult for cultivators to achieve success, the biggest obstacle being 'demonic obstacles'.
One wrong move, and one might become possessed by demons, leading to death and the dissipation of their Tao.
Nowadays, everyone in the cultivation world 'fears demons'.
However, this Fellow Daoist Qingwei actually vanquished demons with his Wisdom Sword, with ease and grace.
Yu Chanzi's mind stirred slightly, and he cupped his hands in a salute:
"I wonder how you cultivate your nature, how can you be so powerful?"
After speaking, Yu Chanzi added another sentence, smiling awkwardly:
"This question is a bit presumptuous, if it's inconvenient, then forget it."
"What's presumptuous or not."
Qiu Zhen was not surprised by the situation before him, he smiled and explained:
"How could I have such great abilities? It's all thanks to my master's teachings and protection that I have this ability."
"Master..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chanzi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity.
Initially, when he heard that Qingwei Daoren had no sect or school, he thought he was just lucky, unintentionally obtaining cultivation methods and possessing high talent.
But upon hearing that he had a master, who even bestowed upon Qingwei Daoren the method of 'Wisdom Sword vanquishing demons', he immediately felt a little excited.
If Qingwei Daoren was just highly talented and able to vanquish demons with his Wisdom Sword, outsiders wouldn't be able to learn or imitate it, they could only envy him.
But if he had a master and a special method for vanquishing demons with the Wisdom Sword, then that would be a different story.
For a moment, Yu Chanzi felt excited and quickly asked:
"May I know who your esteemed master is?"
"My master's Taoist name is Xuanwei, outsiders respectfully call him Xuanwei Zhenren. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi has heard of him?"
"It sounds vaguely familiar."
Yu Chanzi felt embarrassed. In ancient books, there were indeed experts, even immortals, with the Taoist names "Xuanweizi" or "Xuanwei Zhenren", but in today's cultivation world, he had never heard of a strong person named "Xuanwei Zhenren".
Zhenren, those who have attained the Tao through cultivation are called "Zhenren", which is a substitute for immortals.
Nowadays, the term "Zhenren" is overused in the cultivation world.
However, no matter how rampant the title is, to be respectfully called "Zhenren" by outsiders, one must at least be a "Nascent Soul Old Monster".
There are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
In such a vast world, it is normal to have a hidden cultivation old monster named "Xuanwei Zhenren".
Yu Chanzi had no doubts in his mind.
After careful consideration, connecting the events that had happened before and after, he became even more excited.
It seemed that he had unintentionally stumbled upon some amazing opportunity secret.
Today, he originally planned to have a good chat with Qingwei Daoren, describing the various benefits of joining the "Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance", to attract Qingwei Daoren to join...
But now, he had no such thoughts at all.
His mind was full of "demon vanquishing magic."
Immediately, Yu Chanzi couldn't wait to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I wonder what kind of magic the Xuanwei Zhenren senior passed down, that it's so powerful, capable of vanquishing demon generals..."
"Cough cough~"
Qiu Zhen coughed, a look of regret flashing across his face for having "slipped up" and said the wrong thing. Then, he straightened his expression and said to Yu Chanzi:
"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, my master doesn't like others disturbing his secluded cultivation, please don't go out and talk nonsense, otherwise, my master will be furious."
"This poor Daoist understands, I promise not to talk nonsense."
Yu Chanzi nodded repeatedly.
This kind of opportunity and good fortune, he wouldn't easily speak of it even if others forced him, how could he talk nonsense and ruin his fortune.
"That's good."
"Hehe~ Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, this poor Daoist suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, I'll take my leave first."
Without saying anything else, Qiu Zhen's Yin spirit遁遁, disappearing into the Miro Palace.
"This..."
Yu Chanzi was slightly stunned to see Qingwei Daoren遁遁 away.
Then, he remembered something and submerged his divine sense into the [Miro Palace], intending to contact Qingwei Daoren.
The result was a great disappointment—the divine sense transmission was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Qingwei Zhenren had no intention of replying to his message at all.
"What kind of magic is this, that it's so powerful."
Yu Chanzi's expression suddenly became extremely colorful.
For a moment, he felt as if there were thousands of ants crawling in his heart, making him unbearably itchy.
Half an hour later.
Another Miro Palace hall.
"Hahahaha~\
,"Fairy Yunrou smiled:
"Qingwei, that Yu Chanzi will probably have nightmares tonight, finding it hard to fall asleep."
"More than just finding it hard to fall asleep, he probably won't be in the mood to cultivate for the next few days."
The corners of Monk Zhenkong's mouth also couldn't help but curl into a smile.
These days, he had also cultivated the [Summoning Heart Ape Divine General Method].
After learning this method, there was no need to worry about demons invading, cultivation was much easier than before, and his cultivation had improved faster.
Not to mention, if he encountered external demons invading, this method could save his life and help him overcome the demonic tribulation.
Looking at today's cultivation world, no cultivator can resist the temptation of this [Heart Ape Great Method].
Qiu Zhen nodded slightly upon hearing Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong's words.
Falsely claiming that the so-called master "Xuanwei Zhenren" passed down the method was the most stable path they had discussed for a long time.
After all, Qiu Zhen's cultivation was still low, and he couldn't hold the scene.
Falsely claiming the name of a high-ranking person to pass down the method on behalf of the master was more convenient.
As for whether passing down the method would cause trouble...
Qiu Zhen wasn't worried.
By practicing the [Heart Ape Great Method], as the "Dharma Lord", he had extremely high control, and with a single thought, he could seal the [Heart Ape Great Method], causing it to malfunction.
If one hadn't practiced the [Heart Ape Great Method], it wouldn't matter.
Once one had cultivated the [Heart Ape Great Method] and obtained the protection of the [Heart Ape Divine General], it would be difficult to leave it later.
"Qingwei, the Dharma cannot be personally taught, let's cool him down first."
"Once the bait is dropped, we just need to wait for those who are willing to take the bait."
The two military advisors, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong, offered advice and suggestions, each more concerned than Qiu Zhen.
"We can only cool him down first, I can't pass down the method right now, I need at least one or two months to accumulate another [Heart Ape Talisman]."
Qiu Zhen smiled, how long he would cool down Yu Chanzi depended entirely on his cultivation progress.
It was a good opportunity to see what Yu Chanzi's character was like.
"How are you two, when do you plan to return to Aoki?"
Qiu Zhen was curious.
In the past half month, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong had not been in Aoki, one had returned to the temple where he had once become a monk, and the other had returned to the Liu family in Changle Prefecture.
"This little monk is afraid it will take some time."
Monk Zhenkong sighed with emotion:
"Originally, I thought my masters had many complaints about me, but unexpectedly, alas, I plan to stay a few more days..."
"That's how it should be!"
Fairy Yunrou finished speaking, smiled, and said to Qiu Zhen:
"Qingwei, I returned to the prefecture city these days, and the thunder technique is in hand. I'll go back tomorrow and send you the magic."
Qiu Zhen waved his hand:
"No hurry, no hurry."
"Really no hurry, then I'll stay a few more days."
"Fairy, the thunder technique is nothing, mainly this poor Daoist has not sparred with the Fairy for a long time, and I miss you very much."
Fairy Yunrou smiled.
