Chapter 6 Seeking Immortality

"Old Immortal, please accept me as your disciple." Wuyou was the first to bow down to the old Taoist. Huanyin and the girl saw Wuyou bow down, reacted, and bowed down as well.

When they looked up again, the old Taoist had already disappeared, leaving only his hearty voice echoing in the empty mountain: "The world does not change, and the fate does not break. Keep moving forward, and we will see each other again."

"It turns out that there are really immortals in the world." Wuyou said.

"Although there are all kinds of wonders written in books, I am still shocked when I see them with my own eyes." Huanyin seemed to see hope for the future and sighed.

"Brother, can I go with you?" The little girl who had just been rescued pulled Wuyou's sleeve and said timidly.

Only then did the two of them notice the little girl beside them. This is a pretty girl with big eyes, showing a sense of lightness. When the two brothers looked at her, the girl's face blushed slightly and lowered her head.

Huan Yin then noticed his recklessness and asked hurriedly: "What's your name, how old are you, where are you from, do you have any family?"

"My name is Shen Ling, I'm six years old, from Liangzhou. My family went to Yangzhou to seek refuge with relatives, and we encountered robbers on the way. Now, I'm the only one left." As she spoke, the little girl started crying again.

"Another poor person who lost his home." Huan Yin sighed.

After hearing Huan Yin's words, the girl cried even harder. Huan Yin was embarrassed and at a loss.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. If you cry again, we'll leave." Wuyou threatened.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wuyou said, the little girl stopped in shock and looked at Wuyou eagerly.

Wuyou saw Shen Ling stopped and smiled: "My name is Ye Wuyou, this is my big brother Huanyin."

"Hello, brother Huanyin, hello, brother Wuyou."

"Sister Ling'er is so good. Let's go to Yangzhou to find the gods!" Wuyou smiled innocently.

In the carefree playfulness, the solemn atmosphere between the three people dissipated, and they headed towards Yangzhou again.

Yangzhou, located in the east of Jingzhou, is the most abundant land of fish and rice in Kyushu.

"There is a foreign land in the southeast of Kyushu, and the men in the land are busy all year round. I asked the men why, and I was surprised that you don't know the grain in Yangzhou." This is a long-standing doggerel in Kyushu. The grain in Yangzhou is eaten by all Kyushu, which shows the richness of Yangzhou's products.

Huan Yin and his three companions were just walking in the countryside far away from Yangzhou City, and the roads were already full of rice fields. Since entering Yangzhou, the three have never been hungry again. There are countless fish in the water and chickens in the mountains. The best thing is the people here, who are always full of enthusiasm. The three have not slept in the wild for a long time, and there are always kind villagers who take them in, feed them, and let them rest.

Everything in Yangzhou made the three people feel better, and they walked into Yangzhou City in a few days. Yangzhou is prosperous in the secular world. Even though Huan Yin was born in a famous family, he was amazed by the prosperity here. After the three people entered the city, they found out that Yangzhou's cultivation of immortals is the best in the south of Kyushu. Although it is not as good as Yuzhou, it should not be underestimated.

The immortal cultivation sects in Yangzhou are divided into six sects, three big and three small. The three big sects are Yijianfeng, Yudandao, and Yinlingzong. The three small sects are Yinjimen, Baguamen, and Wuliangmen.

Yijianfeng is the leader of the six sects, with the most disciples, the strongest strength, and the heaviest killing intent. The disciples of Yijianfeng specialize in swordsmanship, one person, one sword, and one move forward. The great elder Jianlao of Yijianfeng is a world-famous sword immortal. His cultivation is unfathomable and his swordsmanship is superb. Even Ziyinzong admires him.

Unlike Yijianfeng's fierce killing intent, Yudandao is famous for refining pills and cultivating oneself. Legend has it that the Yudan Dao was one of the best sects in the world. Its founder, Danzu, created the beginning of the Dao of Dan, and later all the Dao of Dan in the world came from this sect. However, later, Danzu disappeared inexplicably, and the Yudan Dao gradually declined. It has long lost its former momentum.

Although the Yinling Sect is at the bottom of the three major sects, it is by no means comparable to ordinary sects. The disciples of the Yinling Sect specialize in the Dao of Yuling and are good at subduing various kinds of spiritual beasts to drive them. Although the disciples of the Yinling Sect are not strong in their own magic skills, their spirit control is often several levels higher than their own cultivation, and they can even control many spiritual beasts at the same time to fight against the enemy. In the same realm, the disciples of the Yinling Sect are often hard to beat.

The Yinji Sect is the first of the three small sects. It has only been established for more than ten years. It is a new sect in Yangzhou. Since its establishment, the Yinji Sect has developed extremely rapidly. It has only taken five years from obscurity to surpassing the other two small sects. The Yinji Sect's magic is ghostly and evil, and its sect's unique small reincarnation technique is even more famous in the world of immortal cultivation. Yinji Sect has had a close relationship with Yijian Sect in recent years, which has made Yinji Sect's rise smoother.

Bagua Sect, which has established itself in the Yangzhou cultivation world with the art of formation, is not a famous sect, but it also has its own unique features. Even the mountain protection formation of Yinling Sect was jointly arranged by the elders of Bagua Sect, which shows that Bagua Sect's attainments in formation should not be underestimated.

Wuliang Sect is a small sect at the bottom of the Yangzhou cultivation world. Its cultivation and learning are quite complicated, and it has no strengths. It is rumored that Wuliang Sect was once famous a long time ago, but it has long lost its legendary glory today, and some people even doubt whether the legendary glory really existed. Today's Wuliang Sect is fortunate to be able to keep its Taoism intact.

When Huan Yin and the other two came to Yangzhou, they happened to catch up with the Immortal Fate Meeting jointly held by the six sects in Yangzhou every three years. The Immortal Fate Meeting is a meeting for the six sects to recruit new mortal disciples. As long as the qualifications are acceptable and the heart of cultivating immortals is firm, there is a chance to be accepted as a disciple by one of the sects.

"Wuyou, Ling'er, the three of us are seeking immortality today. If everything goes smoothly, that would be the best. If any of us fails, we must live well in the mortal world. Whether you and I are immortal or mortal, we will always share weal and woe."

"Yes!" Wuyou and Shen Ling said firmly.

"Let's go and seek immortality!"

For the convenience of mortals, the Immortal Fate Meeting has been held in the square in the center of Yangzhou City. Before the three of them approached, they saw from afar that there were crowds of people in the center of Yangzhou City. Above the crowd, three golden characters were floating in the air - Immortal Fate Meeting. On the four sides of the characters, there were three immortals wearing white Taoist robes and carrying long swords behind them, standing in the air with solemn expressions, maintaining the order of the Immortal Fate Meeting.

"Li Jin, low-grade Taoist heart. Sun Yifan, middle-grade Taoist heart." After the three approached, they saw an immortal master wearing a yellow Taoist robe with a Bagua pattern constantly announcing something loudly on the stage.

Wuyou approached an old man and asked quietly: "Grandpa, what is this immortal master talking about?"

The old man saw a child asking him, and said kindly: "Is this your first time to see this Immortal Fate Meeting? The selection of disciples in this Immortal Fate Meeting is divided into two levels, one for character and the other for qualifications. Mortals who seek immortality, as long as they write down their names, they can go to the first level to test their character. Taoist Master Wenxin is a Taoist master of the Bagua Sect. He only needs to look at you to know whether your heart is firm in cultivating immortality. This character is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. As long as it is not weaker than the middle grade, you can pass the test of the first level."

"What about the second level?"

"The level of qualifications is to test the level of aptitude and understanding of the disciples seeking immortality. I heard that this qualification is divided into four grades. You have to go in to know the specific details."

After listening to the old man's words, the three of them walked up without hesitation. Huanyin took the paper and pen from a young immortal master, wrote the two words "Huanyin", and then took his name and walked to the team of the first level.

"Liu Qinggang, top grade!"

"Wow, top grade! This person has an ordinary appearance, but I didn't expect his character to be so excellent. If he has extraordinary qualifications, he will definitely become a leader among the new disciples in the future."

The Taoist Master Wenxin was like a mirror, constantly reflecting everyone's character. Finally, it was Huanyin's turn. He clenched his fist, walked to the Taoist Master Wenxin and bowed, then handed the note with his name on it to the Taoist Master Wenxin, raised his head, and met the Taoist Master Wenxin's eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes as deep as the vast starry sky. Huanyin looked at them and slowly fell into them. Everything seemed to become light and floating, and everything seemed to no longer matter. This feeling was like wandering in the sky, and like sleeping in a dream, wishing to never wake up.

Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded in Huan Yin's mind: "I want to become an immortal, I don't want to be bullied anymore, I want to become stronger! I want..." Huan Yin woke up with a start, and the words just now were still echoing in his mind, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be "I want revenge".

"What revenge do I have to take?" Huan Yin thought inexplicably and shook his head. What he didn't notice was that Taoist Wenxin was looking at him in astonishment. For the first time, he didn't say a word for a long time during the test.

"Master, please give the test results." The young immortal master next to Taoist Wenxin gently reminded.

Taoist Wenxin came back to his senses and shouted: "Huan Yin, the best!"

Wow, the crowd was boiling. The best, that is the legendary mind in the world of immortal cultivation, which has never appeared in previous immortal meetings, so it is unknown. According to the records in the classics, only Lu Ya, the founder of Ziyin Sect, has such a mind. Lu Ya is the most recognized person in the world of immortal cultivation in the land of Jiuzhou. His cultivation is unfathomable and his existence time is far beyond tracing. Some people say that Lu Ya's achievement is not only related to his extraordinary qualifications, but also relies on his unchanging firm character for thousands of years.

Cultivating immortals depends on the word "cultivation". The reason why the first level of the Immortal Fate Club tests the character is because the heart is the root of the immortal path. If the mind is not firm, even if the qualifications are superior, the immortal path will eventually come to an end. If the mind is firm and eternal, then the heart is infinite and the path is also infinite. The heart is the root of immortal cultivation. The firmer the heart, the farther you can go on the immortal path.

"Whose child is this Huan Yin? He has such a strong heart. It's incredible."

"Monster, this child looks only eight or nine years old. What has he experienced to have such an amazing character."

"If his qualifications are better, he will be the most eye-catching in this Immortal Fate Club."

"Ye Wuyou, top grade!" After Huan Yin, Wuyou once again caused a big commotion.

"Shen Ling, middle grade!"

Huan Yin's immortal journey is about to begin. Guess what his qualifications are and which sect he will join? Let's wait and see!
