She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 58: You must know that the traveler in the mist and clouds is not a mirror polisher in the dust

The path to creating your own visualization objects was originally paved by Taoist Qingyu. If you want to understand this path as quickly as possible and avoid possible problems along the way, the best way is of course to ask Taoist Qingyu himself.

But the lame Taoist said before that this person was an ascetic monk, and even if he became a true immortal, he rarely walked around in the world.
It's almost impossible to find him.

Although we can't find the person himself, it's good enough to have his works written by himself.

Maybe this book contains some key information.

Xie Lian almost couldn’t wait to turn to the first page.

"You must know that the traveler in the mist and clouds outside the world is not a mirror polisher in the dust.

The first sentence that caught Xie Lian’s eye made him stunned.

Isn’t this a poem by Master Lu Dongbin?

Before she traveled through time, she was very interested in Taoist culture, or gods and fairy tales.
Master Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, is a deity she likes very much.

So she memorized a lot of poems about Master Lu Dongbin.

This poem is definitely from Lu Zu.
But why did Taoist Qingyu record this at the beginning?

Although he was confused, Xie Lian did not dwell on it too much.
This is her nature. When she should understand, she will understand. If she doesn't understand, it will be useless to waste her time and energy.
Slowly turn back.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xie Lian forced himself to suppress his reluctance and closed the book.

"This item is too valuable. I, Xie, am not worthy of it."

This is not what Danyangzi said, a book that simply records the insights into the art of painting.

It is clearly the autobiography of an immortal!
This book clearly records the life experience of Taoist Qingyu from his youth when he just entered Taoism to his becoming a true immortal!
He was an ascetic monk who traveled all over the world on foot in order to refine his mind in the secular world.

He has been to the other side of the ocean.

He has been to the vast desert.

His footprints were left on the Arctic ice field.

He actually stayed in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south where the demon tribe lived for a period of time.
He recorded all his stops and starts along the way in books. During this period, he saw and participated in countless things. He also recorded his own views, judgments, and insights in them.

Of course, this also includes the art of painting.

But what does the little content about the art of painting count for in this book which is almost equivalent to the autobiography of a true immortal?

It is no exaggeration to say that this book is a priceless treasure for immortals.

But Danyangzi was delivered so easily.

She didn't care, but Xie Lian felt it was a little hot when he held it.

Danyangzi chuckled, as if he had anticipated Xie Lian’s reaction, and said something that made Xie Lian smack his lips.

"Fellow Daoist, do you think that you can't receive rewards without merit?"

Danyangzi seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

"I would accept ordinary gifts, but this is a precious treasure. I'm sure Taoist Qingyu must have been very reluctant to give it to you when he gave it to you. How can you just pass on something from an old friend? If Taoist Qingyu knew about it, it might hurt our relationship."

Xie Lian really held on to something that was very important. The value of this book was almost immeasurable. Almost every smart person could find his own path in this book.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xie Lian wanted to establish a sect, he only needed to place this book in the Sutra Library so that his disciples could read it at will.

Then in time, this group of disciples will benefit from it.

"If that's what fellow Daoist Xie thinks, I can only say that you're worrying too much. Although Taoist Qingyu is an old friend of mine, we may not be that close. As I mentioned before, Taoist Qingyu is a typical ascetic monk who is not good at socializing and has a somewhat eccentric personality. He came to Danxia Mountain just to ask for a Tribulation Pill to increase his chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, and this miscellaneous note is one of the rewards he paid."

Dan Yangzi smiled and shook his finger.

“Fellow Daoist Xie can regard this as a simple transaction. Now that the transaction has been completed, this book of notes belongs to me. And according to my guess, for a determined and hardworking monk like Taoist Qingyu, this book of notes may not be something to be nostalgic about. Becoming an immortal is not the end, but the beginning of another journey. With Taoist Qingyu’s temperament, I’m afraid he has already devoted himself to another more difficult path…” His words made Xie Lian a little shaken.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"That being said, but..."

Dan Yangzi interrupted Xie Lian before he could finish.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, do you want to say that I gave you this item to repay your kindness to Mount Danxia?"

Xie Lian nodded.

He felt that this was Danyangzi's purpose.

Earlier, the lame Taoist priest seemed to be convinced by her, but in fact he just retreated helplessly.

Danxia Mountain doesn't like to owe favors to others and will definitely make it up to them.

Xie Lian had a premonition of this, but he didn't expect it to happen in this way.

Dan Yangzi laughed and said.

“This is just your guess. I never said I was repaying a favor. Please don’t overthink it.

"I heard something from you earlier, and I quite agree with it. Now I will return it to you."

"I wanted to repay you, but you said to me: This is just what you want to do. If people's feelings are always measured by value, then the human touch in this world will fade!"

Seeing Xie Lian’s dazed look, Dan Yangzi smiled even more happily.

"What? Only you are kindhearted, but no one else can be kindhearted? I got along well with you and gave you a little gift. Do you think you should measure it by value?"

this.
Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She didn't expect Danyangzi to do this.

This is called giving back in your own way, right?

But there was really nothing to say, so he could only bow his hands and look helpless.

"Xie doesn't want to be a heartless person, it seems that I can only accept it with regret... Daoyou is worthy of being a master, your ability to speak is much higher than that of Daoist Master Lu."

Dan Yangzi smiled complacently and stroked his beard.

"Otherwise, why is it that others always owe Danxia Mountain a favor, but Danxia Mountain never owes anyone a favor?"

Xie Lian admired it sincerely.

"It really lives up to its reputation."

The matter was not over yet. Dan Yangzi waved his sleeves again, and hundreds of jade slips flew out and hovered in front of Xie Lian.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. These are the things you want. There are more than 4,000 volumes of cultivation methods for the human race, more than 1,000 volumes of cultivation methods for the demon race, and more than 2,000 volumes of Taoist methods and magical powers. Most of them are basic methods that I found according to your requirements. In addition, fragments, ancient books, and methods with mysterious origins but unknown uses are also included separately in a jade slip. Thank you, fellow Daoist, please click on them and see if there is anything missing?"

Xie Lian shook his head.

"What's the point of this? This has far exceeded my expectations."

I can only say that there is a reason why Danxia Mountain has such a big reputation.

For many things, doing 70% or 80% is enough to satisfy people, but Danxia Mountain insists on doing 120% or 130%, which means doing things to the point where there is not a single mistake.

Even Xie Lian could only express admiration.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiaozhuang came back with wine and food.
