Sequential Evolution

Lin Tianyi was looking at the old Taoist priest, but the old Taoist priest looked at Lin Weier behind him.

The old Taoist priest is an octogenarian with a lean body but clear eyes like a baby. He wears an ordinary black Taoist hat on his head and a patched Taoist robe that has been washed out.

It looks simple, strong, and one with heaven and earth.

After staring at Lin Weier for a few times, the old Taoist who was revered as Grand Master by Xuantian's disciples actually put down the radio, stood up and bowed to Lin Tianyi and Lin Weier.

This shocked Ling Xianzi and Xuantian disciples.

The old man spoke first and said:

"I can't see through it. It's my blessing as a Taoist. Thank you two young laymen."

Lin Tianyi was horrified, but he quickly stepped forward to support the old Taoist and said:

"The old god is broken."

Supported by Lin Tianyi, the old Taoist turned his head slightly to look at the side of the wall and said to Ling Xianzi:

"Master Sun, take out the iron box wrapped in red cloth from the cabinet."

After hearing this, Ling Xianzi immediately opened the old carved glass wooden cabinet and took out an iron box from the red cloth bag under a stack of photos.

Lin Tianyi thought it was some kind of panacea. After opening the layers of cloth bags, he discovered that there were military medals neatly coded in the iron box.

The old man personally took out a silver badge with the words "1948" engraved on it, handed it to Lin Tianyi, smiled at him and said:

"If the female layperson needs it in the future, please give this to Zhao Jiazhong, and he will arrange some things you need for you."

Holding this small silver badge, Lin Tianyi was both surprised and respectful.

He solemnly put away this important gift, bowed deeply and said:

"thank you."

The old Taoist smiled slightly, put away the iron box with his own hands, wrapped it in a red envelope again, handed it to Ling Xianzi, then sat on the edge of the Kang and said to Lin Tianyi:

"More than 900 years ago, my Xuantian lineage killed a green-backed dragon. Today I called you here just to see who can compare with my great uncle."

"The disciples are really considerate. I'm already old, and they still worry about my longevity."

"Lingxian."

Hearing the old Taoist call his name, Ling Xianzi put the box in the cabinet and hurriedly bowed and said:

"Grand Master."

"Take my little friend to see your master and tell him not to be stingy."

"Blessings are born in the Infinite Heavenly Lord, and disciples respect the teachings of the Grand Master." Ling Xianzi said, pinching the fingertips of his right hand with his right thumb to form the Wu Jue. The thumb of the left hand was inserted through the tiger's mouth of the right hand, and the other four fingers were clasped together outside, and the ceremony was performed.

Lin Tianyi and Lin Weier followed Ling Xianzi out of the hut. Lin Tianyi was surprised, is this the end? !

Seemingly understanding Lin Tianyi's temperament, Xuantian's disciple whispered:

"You have passed the test. Don't be stingy. The meaning of these four words is extraordinary. Let's go! You will make a profit this time."

Following Brother Lingxuanzi down the mountain, the four of them came to the palace complex inside the mountain gate. In the Zen room, they found their master, Zhang Daoqian, the contemporary headmaster of the Xuantian Taoist Sect.

Different from the old Taoist in the back mountain, Zhang Daoqian's hair and beard are mixed with black and white, his eyebrows are slender, and his face looks kind, even a bit rich.

This middle-aged Taoist priest...if he were just thrown into a crowd, people would believe him if he was just a fake Taoist priest.

Is he the one who cultivated Ling Xianzi, who is upright and has sharp eyes? And...well, okay, Xuantian's disciple doesn't look like a serious Taoist priest, he looks lazy, and he feels quite similar to his master.

After crossing the threshold, Ling Xianzi and Xuantian's disciples saluted at the same time and said respectfully:

"Master has mercy."

The slightly fat man was holding an ancient book in his hand and poured a spoonful of bitter wine on a piece of dragon meat. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with colorful rays of light, which was beautiful.

"Book of Jin·Zhang Hua Zhuan" records that dragon meat soaked in bitter wine will emit five colors of light and illuminate the hall, which is indeed true.

The Taoist priest danced and danced without taking any notice. He hurriedly greeted the four people and said:

"You came just in time."

The white-haired old man, who looked a bit shabby, danced with joy, picked up a snow-white ceramic knife, and gently scratched the whole piece of dragon meat. He immediately cut off a piece of crystal-clear meat as thin as a cicada's wing, and layered it on top of the dragon meat. Together, put them in several jade cups.

"Quick, try it! You haven't eaten it yet."

When the dragon meat is put on the plate, it is truly beautiful. The bursts of glow are stimulated by the bitter wine, and the five-color pattern slowly flows, forming a dense mist around it.

Xuantian's disciple couldn't wait and reached out to pick up the jade plate in front of him. Unexpectedly, Ling Xianzi glanced at him, then looked at his master and said:

"Master, dragon meat is such a good thing, we should go to the hall to eat it."

Taoist fasting is very different from laity's eating. Taoist priests must make offerings before each meal.

Thinking about "the offerings from the ten directions are hard-earned, and enjoying them without merit, for fear of committing a sin. Therefore, every meal is offered first, so that gods, humans, and ghosts can all make offerings." This is an act to establish the "three connections".

The old Taoist glanced at Ling Xianzi displeasedly and lectured:

"You are the master and I am the master. We talk about the rules every day. How can I forget my ancestors as a master? I have already formed three connections."

"Eating is like being an official, and eating fast is also about cultivating the mind. If you talk too much, go outside and wait."

Ling Xianzi curled his lips. While Zhang Daoqian was teaching him, he clearly saw several plates of dragon meat flying towards the dining hall. It was obviously after he finished reminding him that the old Taoist completed the gift of "Three Fate"s.

It was because of his master's lazy appearance that his junior brother also had no rules.

Lin Tianyi and Wei'er took the jade plate handed over by Zhang Daozhang. They were also very curious about eating dragon meat. They imitated Zhang Daoqian and poured the dragon meat in the jade plate into their mouths.

The glow wrapped the dragon meat and entered Lin Tianyi's mouth. The first thing he felt was the cold and smooth touch of the dragon meat.

Although it was cut into a very thin slice, it did not affect the firmness and elastic chewiness of the dragon meat.

Fresh, refreshing, crisp and sweet.

A simple four-word summary cannot describe the unique taste of dragon meat.

Just like eating strawberries, eating crab roe, and eating bamboo shoot tips, dragon meat has its own unique taste that makes you unforgettable after eating it only once.

No one spoke, no one commented.

An ecstatic feeling spread throughout his body, and Lin Tianyi even felt that his body began to change because of eating some dragon meat.

If you hand out the jade plate, you will get a thin sheet exuding dense mist.

Zhang Daoqian was content, sharing the meat and enjoying it.

Even if you repeat an action over and over again, you won't feel tired or boring.

This was the fourteenth piece of dragon meat that Lin Tianyi had eaten. His body suddenly changed. There was a faint glow emerging from the pores all over his body. The virtual panel intuitively gave a prompt of [Physique +1].

Not only him, but among the five people present, except for Lilith Weir and Zhang Daoqian, Ling Xianzi changed the most, followed by Xuantian's disciples.

It was like eating fish sashimi in a top-notch Japanese restaurant. A few people enjoyed it for more than half an hour before the dragon meat, which weighed more than 2 kilograms, was completely divided.

Lin Tianyi took a look at his status. He didn't know when a brand new status [Gourmet] appeared in his status column.

Temporary status: [Old Gourmet]

[Description: Top eater, because you enjoy the best food, your body and mind are greatly satisfied, and your understanding is enhanced. Duration: 720 hours. 】

Zhang Daoqian took out a white towel from the copper basin next to him, wrung it out, wiped his hands, patted his belly and said:

"Good stuff, heavenly dragon meat, well-deserved."

"It's so nourishing. After eating this meal, all the dark wounds I've accumulated over the years have started to grow again."

"Next, let's talk about the deal."

Upvote! Brother, it’s so cute! The author wore plaster all over his body to change it!
