I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 472: The method of taking the pulse, the treasure to change your destiny?
When Hu Yuanhua heard Gu Yuan's question, he was surprised and felt emotional at the same time.

He originally thought that Gu Yuan, who had achieved such a realm at such a young age and was the head of the Taoist academy, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, must be a rebellious and high-spirited person who could not tolerate any dirty or secret things.

But I didn't expect that his thoughts would be so cautious and indifferent.

No wonder he was sent by the dean to deal with the Guimai matter.

"The dean is open-minded, and I am certainly not a pedantic person."

"If there is an exchange, I can enter the meridians safely, and I will naturally agree."

"It's just that... the threshold of this wealthy family is not that easy to enter."

"It's not a one-day thing for Kunyu Taoist Academy to establish a relationship with the Zhang family. As early as more than a hundred years ago, Kunyu Taoist Academy had established a connection with the Zhang family. At that time, there was only one Jindan cultivator in Qingfeng Taoist Academy, so naturally we would not win the favor of the Zhang family."

"Even though I have extraordinary talent now, it is still not enough to win the support of the wealthy and powerful..."

Hu Yuanhua suddenly smiled bitterly.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan sighed in his heart.

I was almost trapped.

Hu Yuanhua's meaning was very clear. He also wanted the wealthy families to win him over, but unfortunately he didn't have enough weight.

It seems that although Hu Yuanhua was very proud of his apprentice and described him in a very exaggerated way, in the eyes of the Zhang family, it was probably nothing more than that.

One is a little genius who can score 89 points in the exam, but he is his own nephew.

One is a genius who can score 91 points, but he has nothing to do with himself.

Who would you choose?

I don't want to talk to you because I think you are not important enough.

Therefore, they would rather pay a price, use coercion and inducement, to support their own sons and nephews to take the position.

As for other wealthy families, they have probably already placed their bets, and those who haven't will not offend the Zhang family because of an ordinary genius.

That’s when things get tricky.

But for Gu Yuan, things became much clearer.

He originally thought that the Linchuan Dao lineage had been peaceful for too long and had become extremely corrupt, just like the Qianlang Sect back then, which was only concerned with intrigue and disregarding the geniuses. It had no regard for the interests of the Dao lineage at all and only focused on oppression and supporting its cronies.

But now it seems that although the Linchuan Taoist lineage does show signs of being entangled with aristocratic families, it has not yet reached the point of complete depravity.

Also.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the courage to clean up the internal affairs, turn the blade inward, and restore the veins and blood transfusion.

"Brother, do you have the Daoist Laws and Orders, the Book of the Aristocratic Families? Do you have the information list of the fourteen Daoist academies?"

After a slight hesitation, Gu Yuan asked again.

The opinions of Hu Yuanhua alone are not enough to see the overall situation.

Just now is the proof.

It took Hu Yuanhua more than 800 years to achieve Taoism. Although the disciples he accepted are extremely talented, are they really that talented?
I'm afraid not necessarily.

Although he has been in the Central Plains for many years, his realm is too low and what he sees is of another realm.

The genius in the eyes of ordinary people is different from the genius in the eyes of geniuses.

Gu Yuan knew too little information and only listened to Hu Yuanhua's description, which was too subjective. He had lost some of his purity and fell into the realm of petty intrigues.

"I am obsessed!"

"Please wait a moment, Headmaster. I will collect all the information I have and present it to you!"

When Hu Yuanhua heard Gu Yuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and responded.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but ask Gu Yuan: "May I ask, Head of the Academy, how old are you? What level have you reached?"

He had guessed it before and knew that Gu Yuan was not very old, but it was just a guess and he was not sure. Now, after hearing what Gu Yuan meant, he mustered up the courage to ask.

"Brother, don't be restrained. My bone age is 265 this year, and I have just reached the peak of Daotai in my practice."

Gu Yuan replied softly.

"what?!"

When Hu Yuanhua heard this, even though he already had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

With such skills and age, he is considered a tough guy in the Central Plains of China!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I am really old.

……

……

"The country has been peaceful for too long, and many aristocratic families have emerged. The Linchuan Dao has indeed shown some signs of decay."

"But the Immortal is above us, everything is still within the rules, there is still room for improvement..."

In the quiet room specially vacated by Hu Yuanhua, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged with several jade books floating in front of him, muttering to himself.

This was the third day since he came to Dixuan Palace.

Within three days, he read through all the information in the jade books presented by Hu Yuanhua, and also sent Peng Yangrong and two other people out to gather information.

He also sent out the Heart-Eating Bugs to collect information.

He himself also visited the "Collection Room" in Dongying Mountain which is open to the public.

After this series of actions, he finally had a general outline of the situation of Linchuan Daomai.

There are many noble families, and the situation is complicated, but the rules have not been broken, so there is still hope.

But the resistance is also quite great.

Among the fourteen Taoist temples in Guimai, six have received support from wealthy families, which means they have reserved tickets to Zhongmai.

Kunyu Taoist Temple is among them.

Among the six families, three chose to fight. All of them were talented disciples under the age of 500. All of them were at the peak of Daotai and had powerful and terrifying strength. Not only that, the wealthy and powerful forces supporting them were even bigger than the Zhang family.

There are three other families who choose to fight the Dao. They all have young disciples who are under a hundred years old, have extraordinary talents, and possess peerless Dao bodies.

Among them, Kunyu Taoist Temple is of low quality and not stable, so they approached Hu Yuanhua to eliminate the "hidden danger".

Apart from these six, the other eight Taoist temples have no one behind them.

But the other seven families have already laid down, preparing to directly enter the Taoist lineage and gain the qualifications to practice, without asking for too much.

Only Qingfeng Taoist Academy had the slightest qualification to compete, but it was threatened, which was quite embarrassing.

"Zhang family..."

Muttering these two words, Gu Yuan was in deep thought.

He had countless opportunities and had achieved the peak of Daotai in just over two hundred years. Judging from the information he had obtained now, he was considered a genius in the Central Plains of China and was extremely extraordinary.

But that day, Qin Shixiu, the second branch of the Qin family, saw him and saw through his cultivation level, but still thought it was a pity. This meant that with his cultivation level and talent, he was not worthy of being won over.

In other words, it is not worth going against the chosen clan and making a new choice.

"A 265-year-old Daotai peak is not worth winning over. What kind of promise did the Kunyu Dao Academy make?"

"Are the wealthy families in the Middle-earth Shenzhou really so domineering?"

The ferry jade disc is registered and the information is synchronized with Linchuan Daomai. Any family with a little power should know about it.

But three days have passed and still no one has come, which means that no one is willing to invest in Qingfeng Taoist Temple and resist the oppression of the Zhang family.

"I'm a poor family, and I'm looked down upon..."

Gu Yuan looked at the jade book on the far right, a light appeared in his eyes, gradually becoming sharper.

The jade book moved automatically without wind, making rustling sounds, with words floating and fleeting images.

“If you want to enter the upper vein, you must enter the Locking Heaven Pavilion, open the golden lock, cut off the Heaven Gate, and lift the Heaven Stone.”

"After that, you can defeat three upper-level disciples and successfully enter the meridians."

"If all three games are tied, it will be considered a success."

In the hall, Hu Yuanhua repeatedly told Gu Yuan about the difficulty of the situation and the matters of the central meridian, but never mentioned the matters of the upper meridian.

Because he knew it was impossible.

To open the golden lock, break the gate to heaven, and lift the stone to heaven, one needs magical power, soul, and body that are incredibly strong to have a glimmer of hope.

And this is just the stepping stone to Shangmai.

After passing three levels, you have to defeat three upper-level disciples.

The disciples of the upper lineage are all outstanding and are also geniuses among the Linchuan Taoist lineage.

This is a true genius among geniuses.

Even many disciples from wealthy families only learn from a master and practice in the middle channel, and there are very few disciples in the upper channel.

There are thousands of words to say, but I just want to say that among the upper veins, within 400 years, there are Yuanxiang monks, and even Tianling monks! Let’s not talk about Tianling monks for now.

If the Yuan Xiang appears in a dream, the Tao fetus can be destroyed with a flip of the hand.

It's extremely terrifying.

Among the fourteen Taoist temples that have not entered the meridians, none of them has a Yuanxiang that is less than 500 years old.

It is extremely rare among the four major domains.

Among the thirty-six wealthy families, only a few can produce one once in a thousand years.

This is truly the pinnacle of genius.

Among the fourteen Taoist temples, no one dared to sign up or submit the documents.

You must know that once you fail to enter the upper meridian, you will no longer have the chance to fight for the middle meridian, and you will only be forced to practice in the lower meridian.

This is the iron rule set by the Dao Sect.

But the benefits are also obvious.

Not only is Lingfeng Taoist Temple considered a unique Taoist lineage, but it also has Taoist protectors.

This is something that the disciples of the middle and lower veins dare not even think about.

It also represents the importance that Linchuan Taoist sect attaches to its upper sect disciples.

And in the tens of thousands of years of Linchuan Taoism, apart from the powerful cultivators lifting the pulse, there has only been one case where he passed the Suotian Pavilion, defeated the three geniuses, and successfully entered the pulse.

It is difficult to reach the sky.

Hu Yuanhua didn't even dare to think about it.

"Upper pulse..."

These two words were reflected in Gu Yuan's eyes, and his look was hesitant.

But after just a few breaths, his eyes became firm and extremely sharp.

……

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Dongying Mountain suddenly became lively.

Colorful clouds, cranes, and jade sedan chairs flew out from the palaces, carrying cultivators who soared into the sky. The lowest level of cultivation was at the Daotai realm.

The monks who walked out of each temple wore completely different Taoist robes.

For a moment, colorful Taoist robes of different sizes were everywhere, making a lot of noise.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Lin, we have finally waited for this day. After today, we are from the same lineage and can call each other brothers."

Some monks laughed and were very happy.

"Humph, you are such a forgetful person, you are about to change your ways, and you still have the nerve to talk and laugh!"

But there were also people who were dejected and depressed, and could not help but get angry when they heard the sound.

"shut up!"

"Wu Mingsheng, stop pretending to love our Master!"

"If you don't want to, you can immediately take the Void Sky Formation, leave Tianhe Province, and find another province to practice. It's not like everyone in the Eight Great Dao veins has to return to their own meridians, right?"

"Your Miaoshan Taoist Academy is quite powerful, and is better than the poor Qingfeng Taoist Academy. Could it be that you can't afford the ticket price of the Xutian Formation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a wave of rebuttals.

"That's right. Now that you've submitted the written contract, stop posturing here."

"Except for Qingfeng Daoyuan, who among you doesn't have the ability to leave Tianhe Province?"

"That's it!"

"The Linchuan Daoist lineage is the orthodox lineage of the Heavenly Palace, and we worship the Supreme True Immortal. This is the source of our Daoist academy. Now it is just a change from being a disciple to being a master of a master. We are just kneeling down to worship the ancestor. What's wrong with that?"

Even at this point, there are still people speaking angry words, which immediately draws condemnation from the crowd.

The man's expression became even uglier, and he could only speed up his escape and leave at high speed.

"unlucky!"

"Let's not talk about him!"

"By the way, why hasn't Fellow Daoist Hu come out of Dixuan Palace yet?"

"He is so lucky that he can accept a good disciple, who has the hope of becoming a middle-level disciple, unlike us who can only be relegated to the lower-level disciple."

Among the monks, someone looked in the direction of the Dixuan Palace and said with a smile.

"Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical, fellow Taoist? Don't you know that Qingfeng Taoist Temple is being oppressed by the Zhang family?"

"We are all miserable people, so don't laugh at us or add insult to injury."

Some people stood up for justice and tried to persuade him.

"The Zhang family and Kunyu Taoist Temple are really lucky. A female cultivator in the Taoist temple was favored by the eldest son of the Zhang family and they got married. That's why they saved their face and insisted on helping him to heal his pulse."

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you only mentioned one and not the other?"

"There are three Yuan Xiang cultivators in Kunyu Taoist Academy, and the dean is at the peak of Yuan Xiang. Although he is not worth mentioning in the Linchuan Taoist lineage and it has been two thousand years, there is still a three-point hope for him to advance to Tian Ling."

"The Zhang family is not only doing this for the sake of marriage, but also wants to win over this great cultivator who is expected to become a Heavenly Spirit. After all, a Heavenly Spirit is also a huge help to the Zhang family."

"Yes, which of the six Taoist temples is not like this?"

"Sansheng Daoyuan and Qingming Daoyuan are both outstanding among Daoyuan. They have great masters at the peak of Yuanxiang and are expected to be won over. Although Qingfeng Daoyuan has some luck, its foundation is still too poor. How can it compete with these people?"

"What a pity!"

Some monks sighed and expressed deep regret.

"What's so sad about that?"

"If you are weak, you will naturally have to keep a low profile."

"Aren't I waiting too?"

"It means that the Dao Vein is gracious and does not compete with the Dao Academy's peak combat power. Otherwise, Qingfeng Dao Academy cannot even beat us, and yet you still want to try to enter the Central Vein?"

Some people are disdainful.

"You can't say that."

"The Dao Sect has foresight and plans for the future, and it also sympathizes with the weak. Naturally, it will not use the old and frail as the standard for selecting people to join the sect. It's just that the wealthy families can't wait, and they want both the current combat power and the future combat power, so they do this."

Someone sighed.

The ass decides the head.

If you think differently, your actions will naturally be different.

"In my opinion, not entering the central meridian is a good thing. Qingfeng Taoist Academy is still too weak. How can it compete with the Zhang family? Even if it enters the meridian, it will inevitably be suppressed and life will be difficult."

"As long as you can enter the sect and practice well, you will have outstanding disciples. Sooner or later, you will be able to make a name for yourself. There is no need to rush."

Someone sighed.

"Want to check the pulse? That's difficult!"

"But Qingfeng Taoist Temple is out of the question. I heard that the Zhang family failed to reach an agreement with Taoist Hu, and sent a rare treasure to Kunyu overnight. I'm afraid they are going to do something grand and grand."

"You mean, the treasure that changes fate?"

"Who knows? But I think it's not bad."

"What a pity. It would be better to just accept the Zhang family's kindness. But I heard that a strong man came to Qingfeng Taoist Temple? A man at the peak of the Daotai peak who is over 200 years old? Will there be any changes?"

"He is indeed gifted, but no matter how strong he is, he is just a Dao fetus. What kind of change can happen to him?"

"The Sansheng Daoist Academy and the Qingming Daoist Academy have a foundation of ten thousand years, and both of them are at the peak of Daotai within four hundred years old. Even the Kunyu Daoist Academy dare not challenge them. Although this person is more talented, can his methods compare with those of these sects?"

"That's true, but let's be honest, this person is indeed extremely talented. He can achieve such a state in Dongshan Territory. Isn't there anyone in the Dao Sect who would be interested in him? This is truly a rough diamond!"

"Fellow Daoist, don't you understand the ways of these wealthy families?"

"It is better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake."

"Qingfeng Daoyuan does not allow people to enter the central channel, but that does not mean that this person will not enter the central channel to practice. Even Daoist Fellow Hu's disciple may be arranged to practice in the central channel. Showing kindness to others, making them convinced, and using them for one's own benefit are all familiar methods."

Someone laughed.

The entire Qingfeng Taoist Temple is not worth investing in.

But it’s still okay to invest in one or two people.

While everyone was talking, a figure finally walked out of the Dixuan Palace.
