Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 148 The Way of Heaven

"What new dishes have you prepared today?"

At Wanxiang Restaurant, Song Yunyuan was sitting by the window and asked the waiter in front of him casually.

It rained heavily last night. Song Yunyuan fell asleep listening to the rain and woke up a little late, which was unusual for him.

It's already noon now.

"For lunch, I'll prepare chicken stewed with mushrooms, rice with fragrant rice, dragon soup, and braised black dragon."

The waiter read very quickly and directly reported to Song Yunyuan all the meals that needed to be prepared for lunch.

"Sir, your accent doesn't sound like a local. Yuxiang rice is a famous local dish. I will not disappoint you!"

Song Yunyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. How could this Yuxiang Rice be so highly praised by the other party?

Although he was curious, Song Yunyuan couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

A moment later, the waiter brought over ceramic casseroles, one containing rice, one containing chicken stewed with mushrooms, dragon soup, and braised black dragon.

As soon as the lid is opened, a rich aroma spreads out.

Just the fragrance itself is not inferior to Luo Liuxia.

Song Yunyuan looked at the Yuxiang rice in front of him with some surprise, wondering how the other party could make the rice so fragrant.

The waiter smiled when he saw this, and was very satisfied with Song Yunyuan's expression.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal!"

Wanxianglou has a lot of merchants coming and going, and he has seen too many merchants who came here and were shocked by the signboard of their restaurant.

"Brother, it smells so good!"

Not far downstairs, two figures, one big and one small, holding oil-paper umbrellas, were standing in the rain.

Smelling the fragrance wafting down from the Wanxiang Tower, the Taoist boy beside him blinked his eyes with a bit of longing in his eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his stomach.

He hadn't eaten anything for two days, and so far he had only taken a few bites of a large pancake, and had to eat the rest sparingly.

When Taoist Jingyuan heard this, he subconsciously touched his purse and a look of shame appeared on his face.

He also didn't expect that things down the mountain were so expensive after not going down for a long time.

After the meal, the family’s savings were completely emptied.

"Brother, there are still a lot of cakes left."

Jing Yuan was silent for a moment, then took out the remaining pancake and gave it to his junior brother.

However, the junior brother in front of him shook his head quickly after hearing this. He also knew that the remaining pancakes would be their next rations and they could not eat them easily.

However, I’m afraid this pie won’t last long. How can I find that fairy in such a short time?

Jing Yuan was also a little worried at this moment.

"Ok?"

At this moment, upstairs in Wanxiang Tower, Song Yunyuan heard the noise and subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

When he saw the two Taoists, one big and one small, not far away, he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation after sensing the faint fluctuation of spiritual power from each other.

Have you met someone of the same kind?
Thinking of this, Song Yunyuan was slightly startled, "You two, if you don't mind, how about coming up to eat together?"

Judging from the appearance of these two people, they must have been practicing for a short time.

I think there is a chance to get some information from the other party.

The two sides were quite far apart, but Song Yunyuan's voice still reached their ears clearly.

Jing Yuan was still thinking about how to find the demon next, when he heard these words and looked around.

When they saw Song Yunyuan inviting the two of them from afar in Wanxiang Tower, they were also stunned.

"Your Excellency is inviting us two?"

Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still asked with some hesitation.

Song Yunyuan nodded at the other party through the rain, clasped his hands together and invited him to go upstairs.

The Taoist boy at the side was immediately delighted upon seeing this, and he grabbed the corner of his brother's clothes with his little hand, with a look of desire on his face.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed and led his fellow apprentice towards the Wanxiang Tower.

After going up to Wanxiang Tower, they came to the private room where Song Yunyuan was.

When they pushed the door open and walked in, Jing Yuan was the first to bow and said, "May I ask who you are and why you invited my two brothers?"

Although everyone had already come up, Jing Yuan was still a little cautious and had no intention of taking a seat easily.

Moreover, the master had already told me when I was going down the mountain not to accept favors from others easily, otherwise I would have to repay the favor in the future, which would be of no benefit to my practice.

"I am also a casual practitioner. If I see a fellow practitioner, I would like to invite him to discuss something with me."

Song Yunyuan smiled lightly upon hearing this and directly stated his identity.

In this way, I will be able to get some information from the other party later.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be a fellow Taoist!"

Hearing Song Yunyuan's words, Jing Yuan's face suddenly brightened with joy. Then he bowed to Song Yunyuan and sat down with confidence.

When we were going down the mountain, the master told us that if we were all people of the same path, we should help each other.

Since we are of the same kind, it shouldn't be a problem to eat each other's meal.

When the younger junior brother at the side saw his senior brother sitting down, he immediately sat down with peace of mind.

Upon seeing this, Song Yunyuan called the waiter over, ordered a few signature dishes from the other restaurant, and then waved his hand for the waiter to go down and prepare.

Originally, the things on the table were almost enough for Song Yunyuan to eat by himself. Now that there were two more pairs of chopsticks, he naturally had to add some more dishes.

"I haven't asked your names yet, but where did you come from?"

"I am Jingyuan, this is my junior fellow apprentice Xiyuan. The two of us came from Wuding Mountain."

After Taoist Jingyuan gave the introduction, he couldn't wait to start eating. Seeing this, Song Yunyuan didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions.

Fortunately, these two people can't run away, and Song Yunyuan also has such patience.

Thinking of this, Song Yunyuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly and pushed the dishes in front of him towards the two of them.

It looks like these Taoists coming down from Wuding Mountain are all relatively poor, and it seems they can't even afford to eat.

The two of them wolfed down the food, even finishing most of the dishes served by the waiter behind them, before they slowed down a little.

Taoist Jing Yuan raised his head and saw that Song Yunyuan had not moved at all. He suddenly felt uneasy.

It seems that the two of them were a little too rude.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet?"

"My last name is Song."

Song Yunyuan thought about it and just gave the other party a surname.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Song!"

Jing Yuan didn't care when he heard that. For a cultivator, a name is just a title. A simple title is enough.

"Thank you very much for coming today, fellow Daoist. Otherwise, the two of us would have been starving."

Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel ashamed when he said this.

Xi Yuan raised his head at this moment, blinked once, and continued to eat.

Seeing this, Song Yunyuan smiled, thought for a moment and then asked, "I have only been practicing alone before, so I have some doubts in my mind. Can you please answer them?" "Oh?"

Jing Yuan's expression brightened up when he heard this. Although eating a little food from a fellow traveler was not a big deal, it would be best if he could repay him a little!

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan said with a serious face, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

When he said this, his face was full of confidence.

If the other party had really been practicing alone until now, he would naturally be able to answer all the confusion in the other party's mind.

This is the confidence that comes from the sect’s inheritance!
"Do you know the different levels of cultivation?"

The different levels of Taoism? Jing Yuan frowned when he heard this.

"I have never heard Master mention the concept of Taoism realm, but it is not easy to determine the level of Taoism among cultivators. It is usually determined by the cultivator's magic and the time he has practiced."

In the art of martial arts, if one has profound skills, he can be said to have reached a very high level of cultivation.

As for Taoism, it depends on the time of practice, but Taoist practitioners will also practice some skills to exorcise demons.

Therefore, there is no clear division in the realm of Taoism, and the cultivators have never paid much attention to this realm.

What they care more about is the realm of Taoism.

Ask for the way to become immortal. Only by asking for the way can you become immortal.

There are several realms to explore, and stepping into any one of them will allow you to practice without worries in the future, which is extremely important.

In comparison, the realm of Taoism is not that important.

As for the realm of Tao, if you don’t understand the great way, you cannot enter its door.

I think the other party should be clear about the matter of Taoism. As for the matter of Taoism, there is no division. It is normal that the other party did not explain what he has learned.

When Song Yunyuan heard this explanation, he suddenly understood.

"Does your sect have any method for cultivating an external incarnation?"

Song Yunyuan thought about it and then asked about the bottleneck he had faced during this period.

The incarnation is also the magical power that Song Yunyuan wants to cultivate.

"External incarnation?"

Hearing this, Jing Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It seems that I have never heard of such magical powers."

Thinking about it carefully, I have never heard of such magical powers in the sect. Maybe his cultivation is still shallow, so he doesn't know about this?

No?
Song Yunyuan was not too disappointed after hearing this.

It was just a small attempt on his part. It was normal that the other party's sect did not have such a method.

But in this case, it seems that there is nothing more to ask.

When Song Yunyuan thought of this, he couldn't help but think about it.

Earlier, I kept thinking about what I should ask if I could meet other people of the same kind.

Now that I have encountered it, it seems that there is nothing to ask.

"Does anyone know who the Black Cloud Demon is?"

After hesitating for a moment, Song Yunyuan immediately asked about the Black Cloud Old Demon.

Considering the other party’s sect, perhaps they would know the Black Cloud Old Demon.

If you knew that, then the next thing would be easy.

"Black Cloud Old Demon?"

Jing Yuan was stunned when he heard this. After thinking carefully for a moment, he realized that he had never heard of this name before.

Could it be that the other party has been doing the same thing as him, chasing a little demon here and wanting to kill it?

“I’ve never heard of this name.”

Jing Yuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Didn't even Jing Yuan in front of him know about it? It seemed that after those cultivators captured the Black Cloud Old Monster, they didn't have time to report the matter back to the mountain gate, so the cultivators in the mountain gate didn't know about it.

Forget it, I'll just look for it myself later and ask the city god of this place when the time comes.

Seeing that Song Yunyuan no longer had any intention of asking questions, Jing Yuan suddenly felt guilty.

I originally wanted to answer more questions from the other party to express my gratitude for the meal today.

As a result, I could be said to know nothing about the questions people asked me, which was really embarrassing.

"I wonder if your cultivation has been going well lately?"

Jing Yuan thought about it and took the initiative to ask Song Yunyuan about his cultivation.

If the other party has any problems in cultivation, perhaps he can answer one or two.

After Song Yunyuan thought about it carefully, he replied calmly, "It's going smoothly. I usually find a good hilltop for cultivation, so I can cultivate there."

Found a nice hilltop?

It seems that he found a hill with a little spiritual energy to practice.

Perhaps that little bit of spiritual energy can be enough for the other party to practice.

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"You think it's easy for you to practice alone, but it reminds me that we need to gather rocks and send them to Yuqiu Mountain when we practice."

The condensed rocks had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from their mountain gate.

Although this rock also absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from other mountain gates, it was just the same. It made the spiritual energy they could use for cultivation become increasingly thinner.

He naturally did not complain about this matter, but he felt a little sad when he thought about his fellow brothers and sisters in the mountain gate who were suffering from the lack of spiritual energy to cultivate.

"Yuqiu Mountain? I know a thing or two about this matter."

Listening to what the other party said, Song Yunyuan couldn't help but think of the Taoist boy he met before. The other party was escorting the rocks to Yuqiu Mountain.

Song Yunyuan had done this before.

Seeing Jing Yuan's strange expression, he immediately comforted him, "As the saying goes, the way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus."

Just like he condensed rocks to suppress other mountains, it was just a remedial method.

Song Yunyuan naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Jing Yuan, who still felt a little sad in his heart, was stunned when he heard Song Yunyuan's words. Then his eyes became a little empty, and these words kept echoing in his mind.

As the sounds echoed, they seemed to become louder and louder, until they even caused the spiritual energy in his body to become agitated.

"So, what those predecessors did before was all because of the Tao?"

“Although it is not explicitly stated, this is the way. The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency.”

Jing Yuan kept echoing these words in his mind. He felt that the realm of Tao that had been sealed for many years was actually beginning to dissipate little by little at this moment, and a new door was quietly opening to him.

"Enjoy your time, both of you. I have other important matters to attend to, so I will leave first."

Seeing that Jing Yuan seemed to be in deep thought, Song Yunyuan immediately stood up.

I still have to go to the City God Temple today, so it’s not suitable for me to stay here any longer.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan stood up subconsciously, bowed and said goodbye, then watched Song Yunyuan leave.
