I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 483: Tingni Dojo, the monster in the pond!
Luofu Cave Heaven, Houtu Palace.

This hall controls all the Taoist temples and sacred peaks under the jurisdiction of Linchuan Taoist lineage. All the blessed places within the Taoist lineage are registered in this hall. If one wants to claim a Taoist temple, one has to enter this hall and receive the Taoist temple jade talisman, only then can one successfully control the Taoist temple.

Today is not the day when the Taoist sect recruits new disciples once every hundred years, so the hall is deserted and there are not many cultivators.

The thousand-foot-high palace hangs in the sky. There are only a dozen boys and three or five guarding monks inside. Occasionally, they play and laugh, echoing throughout the palace.

But at this moment, a auspicious cloud carrying two figures came vaguely and landed in the hall.

Everyone in the hall looked and saw a little boy with red lips and white teeth and a tall young Taoist priest walking out from under the auspicious clouds.

"Fairy boy!"

"Master Gu!"

Seeing the boy and the young Taoist, the boys and the monks guarding the hall all changed their expressions, showed respect, and hurriedly saluted.

The Linchuan Daomai is big, but not big either.

If it is big, it will cover billions of miles of territory, spanning a whole state, and boundless from east to west. If it is small, it will be like a mountain gate or a cave, which will arrive at your doorstep at any time.

Three months was enough time for Gu Yuan's deeds to spread throughout the mountain gate. The boys and monks naturally knew about it, and they watched the fight in the image stone several times with great fascination.

So as soon as Gu Yuan showed up, everyone recognized him.

And that boy was the Cave Heaven Boy under Tianxuanzi's seat. He had an extraordinary status, much higher than those who were on duty in the palace. They had seen him several times before, so naturally they did not dare to neglect him.

"Immortal boy, Immortal, are you here for the affairs of the Taoist temple?"

The guarding deacon stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the two of them, and asked carefully.

"good."

The boy from the cave nodded slightly and answered calmly.

"Then I will fetch all the maps of the fifth-level dojo for you to choose from!"

The guard deacon said immediately.

"How can those standard-issue goods be worthy of my real identity?"

"Just bring the jade token of the [Ting Ni Dojo] here. My master wants to go here to practice."

"Immediately issue an order to Jin Yi Palace, Ling Yuan Palace, and Li Shi Palace to send the jade chariot, five elements spiritual sand, elixir, strong men, and maids to serve the immortal to enter the Taoist temple."

"The elixirs must be of the best quality, the jade chariot must be woven with phoenix feathers, the maids must be of the best appearance, qualifications, and personalities, and the strongmen must be sea-breaking strongmen. If there is any inferior stuff, watch out for your hide!"

The Dongtian Boy was gentle and humble in front of Tianxuanzi and Gu Yuan, but in front of these deacons and boys, he was indifferent, even with a hint of arrogance.

The so-called boys also have different levels.

The lower-level ones are ordinary boys who have no hope of practicing Buddhism. They start practicing secret techniques at a young age to maintain their appearance and gain a great lifespan, so that they can serve the practitioners.

But the price is that he will never be able to advance in his entire life, and at best he can only serve the Venerable at the Golden Core stage.

These are called spiritual children.

Still others are strange creatures and spiritual beings in the heaven and earth, who are transformed by great practitioners and become boys, who are taken in to serve and practice.

These boys do not have high aptitude for cultivation, but they still have a chance to be promoted. It’s just that it takes an extremely long time, so they can be considered a low-level "divine being."

These are called Dao Tong.

Still others are boys who are transformed from the true spirits of the cave heaven. Their strength is linked to that of the cave heaven. The stronger ones can turn rivers and seas upside down, and their lifespans are very long, often tens of thousands of years, which is extremely terrifying.

These are called cave boys.

At this moment, the one in front of Gu Yuan was the boy from Qingcheng Cave Heaven. His Taoist name was Qingcheng. Even after leaving the cave heaven, his strength was as strong as that of Yuanxiang, which was quite terrifying.

The boys in these palaces are nothing but spiritual boys. How can they be compared with his status?
The two are not the same kind of creatures, so there is no need to be polite.

"The fairy boy has given an order, so we naturally dare not disobey."

"I will immediately issue an order to all the palaces to quickly deliver elixirs, strong men, maids, and other items. However, this [Thunderbolt Dojo]..."

The guarding deacon lowered his head, a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Um?!"

"This dojo belongs to me, Qingcheng, but it is registered in the Thick Earth Palace and is under the unified management of the great formation. Could it be that someone dares to occupy it?"

Qingcheng Tongzi's expression turned cold and he asked coldly.

"No, no, please don't misunderstand me, fairy boy."

"We have been guarding this temple with all our heart. Although many disciples from the upper lineage have wanted to ask for it, we have never handed over the jade talisman."

The guarding deacon explained quickly.

Qingcheng Cave Heaven has only shown a slight decline in the past three thousand years. In the previous ten thousand years, it was the leader of the Taoist lineage with a profound foundation. The incense of the Supreme Lord has not faded yet, and it is still a behemoth. Although there are many shady dealings in Houtu Palace, they are not as dark as those of the Qingcheng lineage.

"Why is that? Tell me!"

Qingcheng Douzi's tone became a little impatient.

"It's mainly because I'm too old."

The guarding deacon explained carefully, "This temple has been abandoned for thousands of years, and no disciples have ever come here to practice. A few days ago, a strong man reported that there was a flash of light and a demonic aura in the thunder pool of this temple. It seemed that there was a thunder monster swimming in it, with a shadow as big as a mountain and a thousand feet tall."

"The dojo is guarded by a large formation that locks down the universe. This monster definitely did not break in from the outside world. It can only be born naturally in the dojo."

"Although we were ordered to guard the dojo, we were too weak to go deep into the pond. As a result, we were not careful enough to find it, and this monster has become powerful. It seems to have reached the fifth level."

"I have sent three groups of warriors, but none of them have been able to capture the monster, and we haven't even discovered its true form."

"Just when I was about to report to Master Xuan, the Immortal Child and the Immortal Man came."

After saying this, the guarding deacon kept bowing and smiling apologetically.

"There is such a thing?"

Qingcheng Tongzi frowned slightly.

Although this matter is a bit mysterious, it is indeed possible.

Tingni Dojo is not an ordinary dojo. There is a fifth-level thunder pond inside. At the bottom of the pond, there is a [Five Elements Earth Pillar] buried by the founder himself. This pillar gathers yin and yang, accepts the five elements, changes the earth veins, and condenses celestial phenomena. It is extremely mysterious.

The most important thing is that by standing on this pillar, one can condense the thunder of the earth veins, counter the thunder of the sky, and increase the probability of breaking through the Yuanxiang realm by 30%.

This was the temple where Master Qingcheng practiced when he was an unknown figure. Therefore, it became the private property of the Qingcheng lineage, and only his disciples can enter to practice.

It has been thousands of years since anyone has lived here. It is not surprising that the spiritual energy inside is surging, the spiritual energy is boiling, and strange monsters and creatures are born.

However, they have already grown to the fifth level, but no one has discovered them yet. Houtu Palace cannot escape blame.

"Fairy boy, please forgive me, it's not that I'm incompetent, but this monster is cunning and elusive. The strong man has been patrolling for many years without any negligence, but he still hasn't found any trace of it!"

The guarding deacon quickly apologized and took out the photo stone and deed of the strong man's inspection.

Qingcheng Tongzi took a quick look and realized that what the man said was true.

The Hercules did check from time to time, but he found no trace.

"In that case, this monster has quite a lot of magical powers."

Qingcheng Tongzi frowned immediately.

A fifth-level monster is considered a big shot in the outside world, but it is nothing in the Linchuan Taoist sect. There are many ways to deal with it.

However, doing so would inevitably delay time and affect Gu Zhenren's time to practice in the Taoist temple, causing some twists and turns, which was extremely unpleasant.

But now that things have come to this, he can only think of the fastest way to settle the matter.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately turned around and respectfully asked Gu Yuan: "Please wait a moment, Immortal. I will chant the spell immediately and fetch a Xuanyuan treasure from the cave. I will go to the Taoist temple with you to get rid of this monster and not delay your cultivation."

But Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I know what you mean, but it's just a fifth-level monster, why bother with so much trouble? It's still inside the mountain gate anyway, what are you afraid of? Just go and meet it directly."

Xuanyuan treasure, what kind of treasure is that?
That is a magic weapon used by Mahayana monks, a sharp tool that can open up a cave.

Such a treasure, to be used to kill a fifth-level monster?
Isn't this killing a chicken with a knife?
"When I left the cave, I was in a hurry and didn't bring any other treasures with me. Only the Xuanyuan treasure can break through the cave and arrive in an instant without delaying the cultivation of the immortal."

Qingcheng Douzi smiled apologetically.

"It's okay. If I summon the Xuanyuan treasure, it will definitely alarm the master, which is not good."

"It's just a fifth-level monster, just go ahead."

Gu Yuan waved his hand.

He knew that the Qingcheng Cave Heaven had an impressive foundation, and he also knew that the boy in front of him, as the spirit of the cave heaven, did have the ability to control the Xuanyuan Treasure. However, the Xuanyuan Treasure was also a treasure at the bottom of the box in Qingcheng, and it must be guarded by Tianxuanzi. Once summoned, it would certainly alarm his master.

This was the worst possible strategy. However, he also understood that this was a "courtesy" from Qingcheng Tongzi to him, as a token of his appreciation for his personal teaching.

After all, if it is really according to the inheritance, I will be the new owner of Qingcheng Cave Heaven in the future, and the new "master" of the boy in front of me.

There's nothing wrong with paying respects in advance.

Anyway, Gu Yuan suffered it.

After all, it is always likable to use the Xuanyuan treasure to protect your boy when something happens.

"Then follow the advice of the Immortal and go meet the monster first."

When Qingcheng heard this, he immediately agreed without any rebuttal.

But he had already made a plan in his mind, and later sent orders to go to Hudao Mountain to summon the protector to watch over him.

"Why don't you bring the jade talisman here?"

Qingcheng Douji then turned around and looked at the guarding deacon.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Disciple will get it right away!"

The guarding deacon became more respectful and responded quickly.

This is a character who can really exchange for the Xuanyuan treasure if you don't agree with him. You really can't afford to offend him.

Not long after, the guarding deacon came with a jade token engraved with the words "Ting Ni" and respectfully presented it to Gu Yuan.

“Dong-dong-dang!”

Just at this moment, auspicious clouds appeared outside the hall, carrying a group of people, floating towards them at a high speed.

On the left side of the auspicious clouds, with jingling rings and the sound of golden beads, there is a group of beautiful women with stunning looks, graceful figures and gentle personalities.

On the right side of the auspicious clouds is a group of burly warriors, three meters tall, wearing golden armor. Each of them has reached the Golden Core stage and has immense strength.

In the center of the auspicious clouds, there is a fourth-order dragon pulling a luxurious and exquisite jade sedan chair made of golden phoenix wings.

In the void on both sides, there are boys holding elixir bottles and jade boxes.

A group of people, like immortals and gods, came floating in, but they all paid homage to Gu Yuanxing.

"Meet the real person!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh and waved his sleeves: "Stand up!"

The Tingni Taoist Temple is tens of thousands of miles wide, with three mountains, one pool and seventy-two caves. There are also countless spiritual herbs and ancient medicines. Such an area must be managed by someone.

It is impossible for him to grow every third-level spiritual herb by himself.

"Please get into the jade sedan chair, and let the little dragon pull the carriage!"

The fourth-level dragon was still prostrating on the ground, speaking respectfully to Gu Yuan.

Eating Linchuan's food, enjoying infinite peace, and being cultivated by Linchuan, even a fourth-level dragon would bow down to him.

Gu Yuan was not polite either. He got on the cloud sedan and invited Qingcheng Tongzi to join him. Then the cloud sedan took off into the air, and the group headed towards the Tingni Dojo in a mighty manner.

……

……

“What a grand occasion…”

This scene was not unseen by anyone.

Outside the Houtu Palace, several young and handsome Taoists were standing in the air, preparing to enter the Houtu Palace, and happened to see this grand scene outside the palace.

The group of people immediately showed envy.

There was only a young man in the center, his fists unconsciously clenched, his eyes gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

It was Zhuang Tiange from Kunyu Taoist Temple.

"Friend Zhuang, don't think too much."

"This person's foundation is far beyond ours. Now he has entered the Qingcheng Cave Heaven and has the support of a big tree. He has surpassed us by a large margin..."

Seeing this, a companion beside him immediately spoke to comfort him, but his tone was harsh but also full of warnings.

"Brother Wei is absolutely right."

Zhuang Tiange forced a smile.

"Brother Wei, don't try to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Fellow Daoist Zhuang is still young, and there may be a chance for him to catch up."

"Let's not talk about him. Even we are at the peak of Daotai, on par with that person. Maybe we can even step into Yuanxiang first!"

Some people were dissatisfied and spoke out in rebuttal.

"That depends on each of our respective opportunities. There is indeed still a chance on the path of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Wei Chengxuan did not argue, but just said something lightly and then walked towards Houtu Palace.

Several people looked at each other with different expressions, but they could only follow.

When the deacon guarding Houtu Hall saw these people, he no longer showed the same respect as he did to Gu Yuan. He just waved his hand, asked the boy to receive them, and turned to enter the hall.

He was also a disciple of the middle channel, with the cultivation of the Daotai, so why did he need to fawn on these people? Allowing them to come back to choose a dojo after three months was already a bit of a favor to the wealthy family.

There is a huge difference between a mere wealthy family and Qingcheng Dongtian.

……

……

Gu Yuan naturally didn't care about the affairs of Houtu Palace.

He rode on a jade chariot made of dragons, left the Luofu Cave Heaven, crossed the void, and flew for a full day before stopping in front of a vast island.

This island is vast and boundless, thousands of miles wide, with flashing array patterns on it, locking onto the void and gathering all the spiritual energy within the island, allowing only entry but no exit.

This is the Tingni Dojo, where Master Qingcheng practiced in the past.

This island has been locked up by a great formation for thousands of years. The spiritual energy is so rich that it has gathered into countless flowing clouds, hanging in the sky, vast and mighty.

Although this place is nearly hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Nine Peaks of Linchuan, it is still within the range of the mountain gate. The formation above is connected to the formation of the mountain gate. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you can't break it.

But Gu Yuan, holding the jade token, easily unlocked the ban and entered the island.

"Hoohoo!"

The rich spiritual energy, which had not been breathed in and out for thousands of years, had become extremely dense and was rushing towards Gu Yuan and the others like a rolling river.

Gu Yuan accepted everything that came his way, absorbing it all, and felt relaxed all over.

Qingcheng Tongzi's expression remained unchanged.

But all his followers had flushed faces and looked drunk.

"Wait outside the island for a while!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately waved his sleeves and asked everyone to wait.

Then he summoned a dragon, set up the jade sedan chair, and continued to move towards the island with Qingcheng Boy.

However, after a few breaths, a huge pool ten thousand feet wide came into Gu Yuan's sight in the center of the island.

In this huge pool, countless thunders were generated, the water was extremely thick, silver snakes were dancing wildly, and above the water there were layers of clouds and mist floating, constantly striking towards the lightning and falling into the pool.

Thunder Pond.

This is how the dojo got its name.

On both sides of the pond, there are solitary peaks, towering ancient trees, countless magical herbs, and all kinds of monsters hidden among them. A wild atmosphere blows in the air.

But Gu Yuan didn't bother to look around, he just stared into the pool.

There was a gleam of gold in his eyes.

"what!"

But just one glance made Gu Yuan exclaim in surprise.
