I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 15: Nearing the entrance, twists and turns
In the inn, Ji Yuan opened his eyes, his face turned pale, and there was fear in his eyes.

"Amazing! Luckily there's a layer of centipedes between us."

A centipede died.

These centipede bees are ritual instruments. Even if they are all dead, Ji Yuan himself should not be implicated.

But Ji Yuan merged his consciousness and mind into the centipede bee's body, and used it to control the centipede bee.

Two white rays like silver dragons flew out from Yin Kaishan's shoulders. No one knew what they were, but they were extremely powerful and sharp.

When killing the centipede.

The strong and sharp edge was able to actually cut through Ji Yuan's invisible mind through the centipede bee.

Being caught off guard, Ji Yuan was terrified, his internal organs were churning, and he could not control the surging energy and blood in his body.

That General Yin was indeed not an ordinary man, but an extremely powerful figure among the practitioners.

If it weren't for a layer of centipede bees blocking the way, just looking at the two white rays slashing down would be enough to make one's mind collapse.

But it was not a big deal, except that one of the centipede bees that I had trained with great difficulty in the bag was missing.

"The Taoist Academy only has 20 places. We will not accept anyone who does not have a superior physique or a profound family background..."

"The people with this family heritage are probably the Yin family."

Unfortunately, although Ji Yuan had carefully restrained the energy of the centipede bee, General Yin still noticed it even though they were hundreds of steps apart.

"Captain Yin should be on guard now, so we shouldn't rashly release the centipede bees to spy." Ji Yuan shook his head.

Taoist Lingxuan and Yin Kaishan are obviously the characters of [Xuanwei Sect].

The ancestor they are referring to should be the 'Ancestor of Xuanwei Yujing'.

As for Master He, he should be referring to the head of the Taoist temple, or some master.

"Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find out where that 'Taoist temple' is."

However, it is only the end of May now, and there is still some time before the Taoist temple recruits disciples on the 'first day of July' as Qing Si mentioned.

Ji Yuan planned to stay in Jingzhou and then look for an opportunity to find out.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

During this period, many people with noble appearance or peculiar manners came to Jingzhou City one after another, but without exception, all of them were teenagers under the age of fifteen.

Ji Yuan noticed that these people were gathering towards a place in the city called 'Wufeng Tower'.

In front of the Wufeng Tower, which covers several acres, is no less than twenty feet high and has more than twenty floors.

"Do you have an invitation?" The waiter stopped Ji Yuan.

"Wufeng Tower only entertains distinguished guests. No one is allowed to enter and disturb us without an invitation." The waiter did not look down on others, but explained slowly.

"Excuse me, sir, how can I get an invitation?" Ji Yuan asked.

"I, a lowly person, dare not call you brother. This building has recently been reserved by the young master of the Chen family. Only with an invitation from Young Master Chen can you enter."

"Young Master Chen?"

"Yes, it's Master Chen Hai. The Chen family is a big family in Jingzhou. It is said that there was an immortal in their family."

Ji Yuan's heart was slightly moved when he heard this.

As expected, these people should all be from families of immortal cultivators; or, in other words, their ancestors should have a family tradition of practicing the art of refining qi.

Without an invitation, one could not enter the Wufeng Tower. Ji Yuan turned around and did not care. He planned to go back to the inn and use the centipede bee to spy on the news later.

At this time, a handsome young man in white clothes walked to the front of the Five Phoenix Tower, pointed at Ji Yuan and said, "Let him in. Although this little brother doesn't have my invitation, he is a man of extraordinary skills, not an ordinary country boy."

"Yes." The waiter looked respectful and said to Ji Yuan, "This is Master Chen Hai."

Ji Yuan nodded, looked at the handsome young man in white, who was about eleven or twelve years old, and said with a cupped hand, "I am Ji Yuan, thank you...Brother Chen."

When he looked at Chen Hai, he could not see anything else except that he was handsome.

But when Chen Hai looked at him, he could tell at a glance that he had extraordinary skills and was obviously not an ordinary person.

"Please come in, Brother Ji." Chen Hai showed his neat white teeth.
Motioned to Ji Yuan to come in and talk.

"please!"

The building was bustling with people, all of them young men in brocade clothes, accompanied by servants and maids. However, there were also some people who were dressed simply but had extraordinary temperament.

When these people saw Chen Hai, they stood up and greeted him, and Chen Hai returned the greetings one by one.

Ji Yuan followed Chen Hai to the top floor of Wufeng Tower and entered a private room by the window, where a table of wine and food had been set up for a banquet.

"Brother Ji, you are the one who knocked Yin family's Zi Yanju down with one punch on the street that day, right?" Chen Hai motioned Ji Yuan to sit down and said.

"it's me."

"Brother Ji is an extraordinary martial artist."

"I have never practiced martial arts. I was born with supernatural powers since I was young. It's nothing to worry about." Ji Yuan did not deny it.

"Brother Ji, you came to Wufeng Tower to find out about Hezui Mountain Taoist Temple recruiting disciples, right?"

"I can't hide it from Brother Chen; it's true. I want to know where exactly Hezui Mountain is in Jingzhou. If Brother Chen knows, I hope you can teach me." Ji Yuan couldn't help asking.

"This is not difficult to inquire. Go west from Jingzhou City, forty miles across the Lancang River, there is a stretch of green mountains. Look." Chen Hai pointed outside the window.

Sure enough, on the other side of the river with rolling waves, one could vaguely see a stretch of green mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, shrouded in clouds and mist.

"The Taoist temple is in that mountain?"

"Yes. It's at the highest point of the mountain, Hezui Peak; also known as Yuntai Temple."

“Since it is so close to the city, why don’t we see people talking about it? And why don’t we see anyone going to pay homage to the Immortal Master?” Ji Yuan wondered.

"There is an immortal master in Yuntai Temple who has performed magic that ordinary people cannot see. He only opens his temple once every ten years, and then he lives in seclusion. In fact, few people know about it."

"Moreover, most people in the world are greedy and mediocre, born in the morning and dying in the evening, like mayflies; their spiritual perceptions are obscured, and they have neither the heart to seek immortality nor the roots to learn the law." "Furthermore, those who seek immortality in the world are like crucian carp in the river, but those who can truly cultivate one or two skills are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns."

"So that's how it is." Ji Yuan suddenly realized.

Chen Hai pointed to the bottom of the Five Phoenix Tower and said, "There are more than ten people in the tower, all of whom have the desire to seek immortality; they are planning to cross the river to seek immortality on July 1st. Who knows, maybe we will all be fellow Taoists in the future."

Yuntai Temple only opens its doors to recruit disciples once every ten years; and the Five Phoenix Tower is the gathering place for those who know the basics and have the aspiration to become immortals.

"But I vaguely heard that the Taoist temple only accepts twenty people?" Ji Yuan asked.

"Well, you also need to have the aptitude for cultivating immortals, or have a family tradition of learning."

"Aren't all those born with nine orifices able to become immortals?"

Chen Hai shook his head: "This orifice is not that orifice, it is an ethereal and invisible spiritual orifice. The more innate spiritual orifices one has, the better one's cultivation aptitude will be. That's all."

"Doesn't everyone have spiritual acuity?"

"Generally, only one person out of ten thousand has this ability. Moreover, those who have spiritual awareness will gradually lose it as they stay in the secular world for a long time. Therefore, Yuntai Taoist Temple only accepts those under the age of fifteen."

"So that's how it is." Ji Yuan nodded and asked, "Brother Chen, since you know so much, you must be an extraordinary person, right?"

"Several of my ancestors are now practicing in Yuntai Temple, so I have already cultivated profound magical powers, and I can enter directly when the time comes." Chen Hai did not deny it, but there was a hint of pride in his tone.

"In fact, except for me, everyone else in this pavilion has ancestors who practiced in the mountains. Only in this way can we know the foundation and directly cultivate magical powers."

"There are actually very few mortals like you, Brother Ji, who have no protection from their ancestors and can get the news." Chen Hai marveled.

In fact, ordinary mortals rarely receive instruction from practitioners since childhood, and are careful not to blind their spiritual awareness and completely lose the foundation of cultivation; or they may even succeed in cultivation ahead of time and then be sent into the mountains.

"Have all these people in the building cultivated magical powers?" Ji Yuan asked in surprise.

If this is the case, wouldn’t there be more than ten fewer places?
"No, it's not that easy to cultivate magical powers. These people in the building are all old friends of my family, so I was able to invite them in advance. But I am the only one who has truly cultivated magical powers."

Ji Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"I see that although Brother Ji is young, he is born with supernatural powers. He might even be a person with spiritual intelligence. If Brother Ji is interested, you can come here to find me on July 1st. We can take a boat together and cross the river to Yuntai Temple on Hezui Peak." With that, Chen Hai stood up and walked out.

"Okay, thank you Brother Chen." Ji Yuan also stood up, bowed, and left the Wufeng Tower.

……

Just as he returned to his inn, he saw a brown-clothed servant waiting in front of his room, carrying a large bag of gifts: "Young warrior Ji, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hmm? What do you want to talk to me about?" Ji Yuan remembered him. He was one of the servants of the Yin family who used to serve the 'little evil star' Yin Yaoer.

"My old lieutenant wants to see you, I hope you can go and see him."

Ji Yuan frowned slightly: "What's the matter with the old commander looking for a country boy like me?"

Could it be that he was worried about the fact that he had peeped with a centipede before?
"The old lieutenant didn't say anything, he just asked me to invite you to come."

"Okay, then please lead the way."

Ji Yuan thought about it, and realized that with Commander Yin's great abilities, if he didn't go, he would probably not be able to escape.

Finally decided to go.

Not long after, they entered the Yin Mansion, which covered an area of ​​more than ten acres with red buildings, colorful pavilions, and rockery with exotic flowers. They had already seen it before when they were riding the centipede bee, so there was no need to elaborate.

The servant took Ji Yuan through twists and turns, through corridors and pavilions, and arrived in front of a reception hall.

Yin Kaishan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting in front of the hall.

"I'm Ji Yuan, nice to meet you, old commander." Ji Yuan bowed.

Yin Kaishan turned around, glanced at the leather bag on Ji Yuan's waist, nodded and said, "Little brother, please come in."

Seeing that he was very kind, Ji Yuan felt relieved.

The two of them entered the hall, where a maid served them fragrant tea.

"The old commander wants to see me, is there anything he wants to tell me?" Ji Yuan asked.

"Brother Ji came to Jingzhou a month ago, and he asked around in the city about Yuntai Taoist Temple. If I am right, you came to Jingzhou to look for immortals, right?"

Ji Yuan did not deny it and nodded in agreement.

"My little brother used his special skills to spy on us a month ago. You should know that the Taoist temple only recruits 20 people..."

Ji Yuan's heart tightened, and he was about to explain and apologize.

But then the Commander Yin waved his hand and continued, "To be honest, I see that you also have spiritual powers, and it seems that you have swallowed some spiritual things, which has formed a superior foundation;"

"But my Xuanwei Sect is a sect of immortals and one of the greatest sects in the universe. If you want to learn immortality, you only need aptitude. If you don't have any prominent connections, it's hard to get in."

"What do you mean, old commander? Please speak frankly." Ji Yuan was puzzled.

"I can let you enter the monastery to practice. However, there are some small things that I hope you can agree to."

"Oh? Please go ahead, Commander."

"My little granddaughter Yin Yao has a bad temper and is a worry. There are many masters and extraordinary people in the mountains. I am afraid that she will offend others and be bullied when she first enters the world."

"It just so happens that you, my little brother, possess supernatural powers and special abilities. I would like to ask you to follow Yao'er into the mountains and be her companion. I would like you to take care of her and discipline her."

"Doesn't that mean I have to be her servant?"

"If you can enter Taoism, you are one of us. How can I let you be her servant? I just want you to be her companion. Why do you have to say such harsh words?"

"What do you think?" Yin Kaishan asked.

"I don't know if I can enter if I agree; but if I don't agree, I'm afraid I will never be able to enter, right?" Ji Yuan sneered.

The Yin family has a close connection with the Xuanwei Sect and has considerable influence. If you don't agree, you will be blocked.

"Yes, boy, you are a smart man." Yin Kaishan smiled and took a sip of tea leisurely.
