Chapter 153: These are the Immortal Opportunities I've Been Waiting For! (Two-in-One Subscription Request)
Su Ping looked at the application board in the ancient library this week.
The five candidates were not to be underestimated, each with their own unique qualities.
Three elderly scholars and two female administrators.
The fees were not expensive, only 2 fishing coins per month.
After thinking about it, it could be changed at any time.
Su Ping recruited an elderly scholar and a female administrator.
Just as he made the decision to recruit, two beams of white light appeared in the library in the blink of an eye.
Then, an old man wearing a scholar's hat and a blue uniform, and a young golden-haired girl in a white skirt, came up together and introduced themselves.
The scholar's name was Da Vinci Burton, specializing in natural science and medicine. Su Ping arranged for him to research spirit rice seeds in the laboratory.
The administrator's name was Angela, she didn't have any particular expertise, but with her presence, the library could be kept clean and tidy, and the efficiency of studying and learning here could be slightly increased.
Su Ping tested them and found them to be quite good.
In the future, he could set up a formation in the room to seal it off, and then disguise it as a cultivation Immortal Cave for Zhou Xuan and the others to use.
After completing all of this, Su Ping finally looked at the gains he obtained from the battle against the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The storage bags on these two Foundation Establishment cultivators were of high quality, made of different materials, with large internal space, and were tough enough. Even after experiencing a great battle, they only had some minor damage on the surface.
This allowed Su Ping to easily obtain a lot of Spirit Stones and rare materials as compensation for the military expenses used in this battle.
Then, in the storage bag that seemed to belong to the head of the Mo family, Su Ping found a book on brewing techniques with annotations from several hundred years ago by the Mo family.
And the main ingredient used by the Mo family to brew, the seeds of the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
Su Ping learned that this Golden Spirit Lotus Rice was a rare spirit rice that grew on the water's surface.
This spirit rice was quite delicate, not requiring high Spiritual Qi, but it needed a lot of manpower to carefully take care of it because it was prone to attracting pests.
In addition, it needed to be observed periodically to determine whether it needed rain and cooling based on the state of the lotus buds exposed on the water's surface.
Lastly, its growth cycle was a bit long, and it would take at least ten years to bloom and produce lotus buds.
But once successfully cultivated, the spirit rice inside the lotus buds after blooming was very valuable in the market and could be considered as high-quality rice.
It was excellent material for both eating and brewing.
Not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those with Gold Core Power could eat this kind of spirit rice or drink the spirit rice wine made from it.
At the same time, the withered Golden Spirit Lotus could also be used as a precious medicinal material to replace some auxiliary materials needed for pill refining.
It's just that cultivation is too troublesome, otherwise the status of the Mo family could have been raised by another level!
After reading the introduction, Su Ping's heart moved and he had the idea of trying to cultivate it in the Water Blue Star or the Grotto-Heaven in the pot.
After all, these two places were not attractive to Immortal World pests.
As for paying attention to temperature, cooling, and rain, it was actually quite simple and didn't require spells.
In terms of the growth cycle of this spirit rice, it could also be accelerated through the use of abundant spirit water to get through the most difficult early and middle stages.
In addition, Su Ping also obtained a low-grade Spiritual Weapon, the Fiery Flag, from the hands of the Foundation Establishment ancestor!
This flag could enhance the power of fire-based spells, and could also store spiritual fire in advance for future use.
Once he returned to the Water Blue Star and found a way to cleanse the Divine Sense of this flag, he could keep it for himself.
In addition, Su Ping also found several Jade Slips and correspondences from the old Foundation Establishment.
He learned that the object of Mo Family's worship is an evil Buddha who claims to be the Great Free Buddha.
According to the analysis of the old Foundation Establishment, although this evil Buddha is also an evil god, he is a reasonable and good evil god.
For so many years, it has always been fair trade with clear prices, never adding temporary charges or having problems with the results.
However, although the old Foundation Establishment said so in the Jade Slip.
Su Ping still found a list that specifically recorded the names and detailed information of the Mo Family members who were born with the blessing of the evil Buddha's power.
Obviously, the Mo Family is not completely defenseless against this.
"These cultivators, the most powerful ones, have all become adults and, because of their good talent, have become inner disciples of immortal sects?"
Su Ping looked at this list with some surprise.
After witnessing the scene where the Mo Family Patriarch transformed into an evil spirit, Su Ping was one hundred percent certain that the evil Buddha had major problems.
Therefore, in addition to being shocked that these problematic Mo Family members had infiltrated the inner sect of the immortal sect, Su Ping also speculated that the Mo Family, which worships the evil Buddha, is probably not the only cultivation family.
And with such widespread methods, there is probably more than one evil Buddha!
"It feels like there are loopholes everywhere in this Immortal World!"
"It's really difficult to survive and fish here!"
Su Ping sighed and took out the Jade Slip containing the list separately and made multiple copies.
He was ready to continue being a good person who seeks no fame or fortune and hand it over to major sects like the Qixin Sect to handle.
He couldn't handle demonic cultivators in more distant places and at higher levels.
But at least he could ensure the safety and stability of his surroundings for a longer period of time.
When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
Looking at the merit monument created by the Great Golden Light Temple for the remains of the evil spirit, they must want to do something for the Immortal World.
So, by accumulating enough purified and sealed magical items, perhaps he could go to other places with merit monuments to continue exchanging for merits and support the plans of these tall people?
"In that case, in order to help the Immortal World, maybe I should cultivate more fields of merit?"
Su Ping thought this way and first returned to the Jiuye Mountain Market.
After taking care of some miscellaneous matters and learning more relevant information, he distributed the Jade Slips on the way to Xuangui Island to fish.
Su Ping did this using the memory illusion of the Fire Knight Elwin.
However, he didn't know that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Rogue Cultivators had already formed a deep misunderstanding about the image of the Fire Knight.
Naturally, they attached great importance to the evidence he provided!
It was immediately submitted to the higher-ups and attracted attention.
Not long after, the powers of the major sects also learned about the matter of the evil Buddha.
Immediately, they understood the interests involved and first went to the Mo Family.
After capturing all the members of the Mo Family, they conducted a comprehensive inspection, especially focusing on the several Mo Family members on the list.
After multiple inspections, they did not find any problems with the Mo Family members.
If it wasn't for the red-haired sword cultivator who gave the Jade Slip.
The leaders of the Qixin Sect who presided over this matter would probably feel deceived.
Gold Core, who was responsible for this matter, went to the high monk of the Dajin Guang Temple with doubts.
The high monk also became interested in this and, after dealing with his own matters, took the Mo family to the sacred place of the Dajin Guang Temple.
Relying on the sacred artifact in the sacred place that suppresses all evil.
Activated the demon-suppressing formation specifically designed to deal with the evil gods in the Dajin Guang Temple.
This exposed the Mo family members on the list who couldn't handle the stimulation!
It also made the various sects responsible for this matter break out in a cold sweat.
They didn't expect the methods of those evil gods to be so secretive, infiltrating them without their knowledge!
The news immediately spread to the major sects.
Even if the Mo family members were not in the Jinzi Domain, as long as they were on the list, they were immediately captured by their sects.
The ruthless ones were dealt with directly.
The soft-hearted ones, fearing misunderstandings, chose to send them to the Dajin Guang Temple to verify their identities before dealing with them.
During this period, these cultivators also discovered that those Mo family members seemed genuinely unaware that they were possessed by evil spirits.
They behaved no differently from ordinary people in normal times.
Coupled with their generally good Spiritual Roots, they should have been pillars of their sects.
Now, they had to be suppressed because of the evil Buddha!
It's really a case of Good Fortune playing tricks on people.
Coastal port.
After Su Ping finished fishing on Xuan Gui Island, he rode on the Great Black Fish and returned here.
Along the way, Su Ping noticed that the overseas islands were not peaceful.
There were even pirate groups specifically targeting families who had moved overseas.
Many of the families' elders who were robbed cursed loudly. They had come to these overseas islands with scarce Spiritual Qi, but they were still not spared by these Rogue Cultivators!
When he returned to the port, Su Ping found that some cultivation families were moving their foundations back from the islands.
Then, it seemed that they were preparing to join forces with other branches of cultivation families to find a secluded market without evil spirits as a refuge.
Some were planning to build large ships and directly search for habitable land in more distant seas.
This idea also received support from many families.
Su Ping noticed that the Yun family he knew seemed to be among these groups and was actively participating.
It seems that even after moving to the overseas islands, the Yun family was not living comfortably and was considering moving again!
After a short rest at the port, Su Ping directly returned to the Water Blue Star.
...
Water Blue Star, Emei Golden Summit.
Taking advantage of the favorable geographical location, a magnificent temple and Taoist buildings were built here.
Some of these buildings are open to visitors for tours and even events.
Another part is used by true cultivators for cultivation in the cultivator Life.
Those who can manage or cultivate inside are all cultivators who hold important positions in the official association.
Therefore, they learned a few weeks ago that there are immortals and dragon fish in the mountains behind.
And they vaguely knew that the authorities had already proven the truth of this rumor, thus protecting that area.
Except for the Daoists of Qingmu Temple, everyone else, including them, can only watch from a distance and cannot approach!
This made the abbot of Jinding Taoist Temple envy the abbot of Qingmu Temple. He wrote several letters hoping to change his sect and become a Taoist at Qingmu Temple.
Unfortunately, Qingmu Temple is no longer open to anyone who wants to become a disciple.
Even though there are currently no Transcendents appearing in this place.
But with the increasing recognition of Transcendents worldwide, and the video from Nepal providing solid evidence, the attention given to Transcendents has increased day by day.
This also led to more attention and preferential treatment for Qingmu Temple.
The old abbot, who was suspected of having a connection with immortals but just not at the right time, also began to respect his wishes more and more.
Today, the old abbot got up as usual.
After morning class, he walked out slowly and saw that the disciples in the hall and the disciples were already dressed neatly, eagerly waiting for him.
There are no more mediocre disciples among these disciples.
Those people naturally have their unwillingness, but as long as they fail the assessment, they are arranged to go to other nearby Taoist temples.
If they are unwilling, they can also leave on their own.
And for those who want to cause trouble, sorry, Qingmu Temple is not afraid of troublemakers anymore.
There is no need for additional notification. Security personnel immediately come to persuade the other party to leave peacefully if they see anything suspicious.
"Ah."
The old abbot glanced at a few unfamiliar faces among the disciples.
These are the young disciples sent over by those old friends who couldn't refuse their requests.
The old abbot had no choice but to accept them into the temple.
After treating them equally, he found that his old friends had not lied. These young disciples were indeed seeds of cultivation, and they were not sent here solely based on connections.
These seeds of cultivation are young but already have their own insights into cultivation.
The old abbot couldn't help but think of his younger self. These people are just slightly worse than he was back then, right?
No wonder those old friends insisted on sending them over.
However...
The old abbot knew very well that they were seeking immortality not from him, but from that deep pool!
From the promise of the immortal!
"Let's go!"
Knowing what these junior brothers and disciples were thinking, the old abbot had no intention of going against their wishes.
He directly announced the start of today's lessons at Qingmu Temple.
That would be a collective trip to the edge of the water pool for meditation and Qi refining, and they would stay there until dinner time before returning to the Taoist temple.
As for lunch... they actually don't eat.
Qingmu Temple does not differentiate between the old and the young, and everyone is enthusiastic about practicing in the deep water pool.
Especially since they continue to be part of society even while practicing, even in the back mountains, there is already running water, electricity, and internet.
They are aware of the major events happening in places like Yingdu and Nierbo.
Therefore, the effects of practicing in the deep water pool, whether it's the younger brother of the old temple master or the disciples, are considered to be as good as the reputation suggests.
As soon as they are by the water pool, their bodies naturally cool down and their minds immediately become peaceful.
Many insights also come to mind.
The old temple master, however, feels that there is not much difference in where one practices.
On the contrary, those profound insights may be signs of Qi Deviation and must be awakened!
If, after entering a meditative state, you hear the chanting of gods and Buddhas in your ears, or see fairies coming to take you away in your mind...
Or if you feel little mice running around inside your body.
Stop practicing and go back to sleep, otherwise there may be real problems!
The old temple master cannot refuse the disciples' desire to practice in the deep water pool, including the younger brother, but he still pays close attention to their state of practice.
This is also his responsibility as the old temple master.
Soon, the group arrived at the deep water pool.
They found a place, sat in the Lotus Position, and began the midday class.
Around the deep water pool, various monitoring devices collected and transmitted the expressions of the people to the control room.
On one hand, it was for protection, and on the other hand, it was for backup research.
If these Taoists' methods of cultivation were really effective, they could be scientifically researched and promoted.
In the eyes of experts, good things are never abandoned just because there is no scientific explanation.
As usual, the old temple master adjusted his breath and closed his eyes in the Lotus Position on a large rock.
Suddenly, the old temple master felt a voice, as if it was ringing in his ears?
This voice seemed familiar, as if it was... that truly enlightened one?
The old temple master was startled, and the first thought was not that a celestial opportunity had come!
Instead, he suspected that he had a problem due to the hidden greed in his heart, and that it was a sign of Qi Deviation!
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
The old temple master opened his eyes and found that there were no illusions in front of him.
No! The feeling in his body seemed to be real and not illusory!
The old temple master was familiar with various illusions, but none of them made him feel the coolness in his brow chakra so vividly.
And the warmth in his body and the increasingly good mental state should not be false!
So, is that truly enlightened one here again?
Just as he was thinking, the voice of the truly enlightened one appeared in his mind again.
This time, the old master naturally focused his attention and memorized every word without missing a single one.
Suddenly, he stood up and took out the communication device that the vice president had forcefully given him, requesting to carry it with him.
After saying a few words, it didn't take long.
A slightly excited Taoist ran up from the small path and presented a classic style fishing rod.
The old master thanked the young Taoist and then sat in the lotus position on a large rock, just like the immortal before, and cast his fishing rod to start fishing.
No one knew.
At the moment the old master started fishing.
Su Ping, who was invisible on the side, also cast his fishing rod at the same time.
After activating the Spirit Gathering formation at the beginning.
Now, other formations that had been quietly arranged were also activated.
Suddenly!
Golden light suddenly emerged from the deep pool.
A rainbow appeared in the sky with a swish!
Under the golden light, whether it was the disciples or the people in the monitoring room, their eyes widened as they saw golden lotus flowers emerging from the deep pool, continuously growing and slowly blooming in an illusion.
Under this illusion, a cold air emanated from the surroundings of the pool.
All nearby monitoring devices, whether thermal imaging or optical, began to malfunction and became blurry.
Even the unmanned aerial reconnaissance aircraft in the sky could only capture images that looked dreamlike but couldn't distinguish the details.
"This kind of visual effect reminds me of the various wonders that appeared in various places some time ago."
An investigator drank hot tea and stared at the large screen in the monitoring room, whispering softly.
This statement immediately received agreement from the others.
They had all participated in the previous investigation and discovered that the key to distinguishing true and false wonders was the camera footage.
The clearer the camera footage, the more likely it was fake.
Instead, those that appeared to have compressed image quality from seventy or eighty years ago were more likely to be real.
"It seems that these Transcendents have a way to affect our monitoring devices."
"It's like the shielding barriers often mentioned in novels, right?"
"It should be, and there's also illusions. It's possible that what we see in these dreamlike scenes is an illusion, and there might be a whole different world inside."
"By the way, did the boss let anyone in?"
"No, they think this might be the blessing of Qingmu Temple. It wouldn't be worth it to disturb others now and potentially make enemies."
"That's true, we know too little about these mystical things, it's better to be cautious."
As the investigators whispered and discussed, the fellow Taoists around the deep pool were already excited to the point of jumping up.
Although they hadn't seen any immortals.
But the appearance of mythical phenomena in this deep pool was extraordinary!
Could this be considered as the emergence of a golden lotus in the water?
Although these golden Lotus flowers look a bit unreal up close.
But never mind these details, just knowing that this is a stroke of luck is enough!
At the same time, their gaze towards the old master who was fishing changed.
Especially those junior disciples.
They were filled with resentment.
Senior brother has been saying that he has no luck with immortality and doesn't know any real techniques.
Ha, now just a fishing trip has triggered a phenomenon!
There must be great luck with immortality on him!
I wonder if senior brother can ascend to heaven with them.
Suddenly, they heard the old master, who had his eyes closed, speak:
"Qingmu Sect disciples, listen!"
"Close your eyes and clear your mind of distractions."
"Listen to my chanting, visualize yourself..."
The old master closed his eyes and, according to Su Ping's message, recited the simplest health-preserving technique.
These disciples understood that this was the immortality luck they had been waiting for, so they quickly closed their eyes and entered a meditative state in the Lotus Position.
At the same time, all the disciples felt a slight pain in their eyebrows.
Su Ping also extracted a drop of blood from them.
They also felt the benefits of cultivating in an environment with Spiritual Qi.
They all thought that the opening of their spiritual senses just now was a psychological illusion, so they quickly began to cultivate.
Su Ping tested everyone's blood using the Bloodline stone tablet.
But he didn't find any special spiritual bodies.
However, judging from the efficiency of their basic cultivation technique, Breathing Exercises Spiritual Qi, it seemed that everyone, including the old master, had at least inferior-grade Spiritual Roots.
It's worth saying that these are genuine Taoists who truly devote themselves to cultivation in the Qingmu Sect.
If they were in the Immortal World, perhaps they could really establish a small sect together.
But for now, having Spiritual Roots is naturally a good thing!
It just happens to take care of the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice!
It's another win-win situation, isn't it?
Su Ping continued fishing.
With the assistance of the dazzling golden Lotus flower illusion and the hallucination formation, he wasn't worried about being discovered.
Even if the other party discovered an invisible fisherman, so what?
How can they guarantee that it's not one of the illusions?
After all, in the end, besides the addition of a few golden Lotus flowers, nothing was missing from the surroundings!
[Fishing experience +1!]
[Obtained a large flowery fish +1]
[Current fishing level: Level 5 (950/5000)]
[The current fishing spot has exhausted all fishing attempts... Please continue next time!]
With the last fishing attempt, these two second-tier fishing spots provided Su Ping with 300 points of experience during this period.
At the same time, this deep pool fishing spot on Mount Emei also yielded results in the last few attempts.
Allowing Su Ping to obtain a new flowery golden dragon fish.
However, this time Su Ping thought for a moment and chose to put the fish in the Spirit Light Fish Pond to raise it.
This way, if he encounters an upgrade condition that requires a second-tier rare fish, he can complete it immediately.
After finishing fishing, Su Ping looked at the sky and realized it was getting late.
He silently stepped aside.
Then, with a thought, the hallucination formation stopped operating.
Various phenomena disappeared into the wind like smoke.
With the gradual disappearance of Spiritual Qi, it finally condensed into the area of the deep pool where there was still Spiritual Qi, which was then absorbed by the planted Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
Without the assistance of Spiritual Qi, everyone had to wake up.
And they felt a deep sense of loss.
That feeling of seeing the truth and feeling like they were climbing towards a higher level every moment, only to be kicked out when they were making progress.
It's hard to describe how painful it is.
They all looked at the old master.
Seeing the old master silently picking up the fishing rod.
Then they noticed that there was a small fish hanging on the fishing rod.
"What is this..."
The disciples widened their eyes.
The investigators, who finally regained normal surveillance, also widened their eyes as they looked at the small fish on the fishing rod.
Bold speculations emerged in their minds...
"This is not a spiritual object, just an ordinary fish."
Saying that, the old master took out the small fish, which was only the size of a palm, and threw it back into the deep pool in front of everyone.
With a splash, the fish escaped into the water.
The old master looked at the golden Lotus flowers, which were much smaller than the illusions, that appeared in the water.
Pointing at them, he said slowly:
"Do you see those... are the spiritual objects!"
"They are the immortality luck we have been waiting for!"
Today is a bit late, so I'll combine two chapters.
(End of this chapter)
