Chapter 1 Lord of the Grotto Heaven

Within the Xuanzhen Temple, a branch of the Taihao Immortal Sect in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"This Xuanzhen Temple... is, after all, a branch of the Zhengyang lineage, one of the twelve lineages of my Taihao Immortal Sect."

"Although I've heard that Xuanzhen Temple suffered a great calamity and heavy losses more than 20 years ago, so much time has passed. Why does it feel like Xuanzhen Temple... hasn't recovered at all?"

A middle-aged monk dressed in a dark brown Taoist robe stood in a dilapidated Taoist temple, somewhat dumbfounded.

Everything he saw lacked any celestial aura. Of the dozen or so houses in the temple, most had collapsed, and the rest were on the verge of collapse, with only three or four remaining intact.

Although the main hall in the center still maintains its grandeur, a closer look reveals numerous patches of discoloration, with several particularly striking red marks on the painted pillars.

This Taoist temple didn't even have the money to completely repaint the pillars of the main hall; they could only repair the damaged parts individually.

Moreover, if his divine sense was correct, a vegetable garden had been cultivated in the open space behind the Taoist temple.

The vegetables inside even looked quite... plentiful.

"It's no wonder that the Zhengyang lineage wants to disband the Xuanzhen Temple and rename and take back this Xuanzhen Peak, given that the once prestigious Xuanmen sect has fallen to such a state."

The middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Such a vibrant mountain, rich in spiritual energy, its spiritual veins are probably among the top five of the forty-eight peaks under the Zhengyang Dharma lineage."

"It's such a waste to have wasted almost half a century of life on a Taoist temple that's so desolate. I wish Tingyun Temple had such abundant spiritual veins..."

“Senior brother, I’m still here. Can you be a little more tactful?” said the handsome young man with twitching eyes. “I am the acting abbot of Xuanzhen Temple.”

The middle-aged cultivator blinked, looked over somewhat awkwardly, and bowed: "This junior brother is Li... uh, Li Yinsheng, right?"

"Don't blame me for being blunt, but the news that your Xuanzhen Temple will be disbanded and its peaks taken back next year because of its long decline has already spread throughout the Zhengyang lineage. Even if I pretend not to know, wouldn't that be a bit hypocritical?"

Li Yinsheng was speechless—the other party was indeed right. Ever since the news spread that his own Taoist temple would be disbanded next year, this was the eighth person from another Taoist temple to come and "visit".

The reason is not hard to understand: some mountain peaks are said to contain "spiritual veins".

The "spiritual vein" will emit spiritual energy. Being in the spiritual energy will greatly benefit cultivators, whether they are refining their Qi, body, spirit, or even planting herbs and refining pills.

Therefore, the more of these spiritual veins and spiritual essence, the better.

However, there are not many mountains that can generate spiritual energy, and they are all owned within the Zhengyang lineage.

Once Xuanzhen Temple is disbanded, other Taoist temples under the Zhengyang lineage will have the opportunity to seize Xuanzhen Peak and its spiritual veins, rename them, and use them for their own purposes.

However, people from other Taoist temples at least put on an act, claiming they were there to show concern for other Taoist temples under the same lineage.

They would even feign concern and offer a few words of concern, and even knew to bring cheap fruits and medicinal herbs as gifts, never mentioning the matter of Xuanzhen Peak's ownership—

Of course, their gazes and consciousness never left the spiritual veins of Xuanzhen Peak, as if they had already taken the mountain as their own.

Over the past few months, Li Yinsheng, the acting abbot, has gone from feeling humiliated and angry at the beginning to being basically numb now.

But this person in front of me is really going too far. He arrived without even saying hello, started looking around, and then made personal attacks.

"How should I address this senior brother? Have you also taken a fancy to this mountain below my Xuanzhen Temple?" Li Yinsheng asked expressionlessly.

He thought the other person was an open and honest person who would readily admit it, but to his surprise, the other person shook his head.

"I am a Taoist priest from Tingyun Temple, surnamed Zhang. I have not come here for Xuanzhen Peak." The Taoist priest surnamed Zhang spoke with a sincere expression, which did not seem to be fake.

“Junior Brother Li, haven’t you heard? At the end of last month, Shouyi Temple announced that they have too many disciples and their spiritual veins are overburdened, so they desperately need Xuanzhen Peak.”

"They guard the temple, hoping that Xuanzhen Temple will be disbanded and Xuanzhen Peak will be vacated. They also hope that other Taoist temples under the Zhengyang lineage will not compete with them, and that they will repay them in the future."

“Shouyi Temple is the largest Taoist temple under our Zhengyang lineage. Since they are determined to win it, other Taoist temples naturally don’t dare to compete.”

When Li Yinsheng heard the news, he was not greatly affected.

After all, he had become numb to it.

But another question arose in his mind: "If it's not for Xuanzhen Peak, then what exactly are you here for, Senior Brother Zhang?"

"Actually, it's for you, Junior Brother Li!" The cultivator surnamed Zhang rubbed his hands together, looking exactly like a middleman trying to swindle a recent college graduate into a factory.

"Once Xuanzhen Temple is disbanded, won't you have nowhere to go? I wonder if Junior Brother Li would be willing to join my Tingyun Temple then?"

The cultivator surnamed Zhang laughed and said, "I have heard that Tingyun Temple is one of the top ten Zhengyang lineages, with hundreds of disciples, flourishing incense offerings, and a long history. It wouldn't be an insult to you to join my temple, would it?"

Li Yinsheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "I appreciate Senior Brother Zhang's kindness."

"Senior Brother Zhang may think that I am capable of becoming the acting abbot of Xuanzhen Temple because I must have some extraordinary talent and cultivation, but in fact, my cultivation is mediocre and my aptitude is quite ordinary..."

“Hey, Junior Brother Li, what are you saying! Do you think your senior brother is only trying to recruit you into the temple because he sees your potential?” The cultivator surnamed Zhang shook his head repeatedly.

“I knew long ago that your cultivation was mediocre and your aptitude was ordinary. After all, although it is said that you have been cultivating since childhood, you have never participated in the Dao Examination in recent years, and there are no stories about you among your peers.”

The cultivator surnamed Zhang said sincerely, "If he were truly a genius, no matter how low-key he was, he wouldn't still be unknown by now."

Li Yinsheng's face darkened: "What exactly did Senior Brother Zhang see in me?!"

"It's not that my senior brother has taken a liking to you, it's that my Aunt Miaoyin from Tingyun Temple has a great fondness for you!"

The cultivator surnamed Zhang continued rubbing his hands, looking at Li Yinsheng's angular face with a hint of eagerness.

"She's looking for her eighteenth cultivation partner, and a few days ago a female disciple was selling your portrait. Guess what happened?"

The cultivator surnamed Zhang spoke with a smile on his face, as if he were happy for Li Yinsheng.

"Hey! She took a liking to you the moment she saw the portrait! She insisted that I invite you to the temple, saying that now her eighteenth Daoist partner is settled!"

Li Yinsheng remained silent.

"Junior Brother Li, with your face, how many female disciples in the entire Zhengyang lineage aren't considered beautiful? I used to think that physical appearance was useless for cultivation, but now I realize how shallow I was!"

The cultivator surnamed Zhang spoke with great enthusiasm: "Although Aunt Miaoyin is over eighty years old, her cultivation is profound and she has the art of preserving her youth, just like a young girl!"

"Moreover, what she cultivates is the orthodox path of dual cultivation, absolutely not the evil art of absorbing yin and yang. Now that she has taken a liking to you, junior brother, you have really hit the jackpot."

“Brother,” Li Yinsheng sighed, turned and left, “I still have many miscellaneous matters to attend to at my temple. If you have nothing else to do, please return.”

"Hey, hey, hey, Junior Brother Li, don't go! Martial Aunt Miaoyin is serious. She asked me to tell you that if Junior Brother Li is willing to become your Daoist partner, she will not only cover your cultivation expenses but also give you two thousand talisman coins every month."

"And another thing! She knows that your temple is still supporting a senior who has lost all his cultivation, and she said she wouldn't mind if you took that senior to Tingyun Temple..."

The monk surnamed Zhang followed behind, earnestly trying to persuade him.

"Besides, Junior Brother Li, your talent is mediocre. You only have a good appearance. Once Xuanzhen Temple is disbanded, you can only enter a small Taoist temple and become an ordinary disciple who copies scriptures and rings bells, earning at most three or four hundred talisman coins a month."

"What future could there be in such a life compared to following Master Miaoyin? This is a great opportunity for you!"

“Senior brother,” Li Yinsheng stopped and sighed, “do you know the Moon Crane Master of Songyue Temple and the Jade Luan Master of Gengyan Temple?”

"Junior Brother Li also knows these two seniors?" The cultivator surnamed Zhang asked with awe.

"They are all senior masters who have mastered the art of dual cultivation. Many years ago, they had already achieved the status of True Person and reversed their aging. In terms of cultivation, they are probably more than two hundred years old."

When the words "True Person" were mentioned, a hint of awe appeared in the eyes of the cultivator surnamed Zhang.

“I, Guan Miaoyin, have always held these two seniors in the highest esteem and have always hoped to achieve the status of a True Person through the dual cultivation path, just like them…”

“The month before last, Master Yuehe sent someone to invite me to be his Daoist partner, offering to provide me with five thousand talismans per month,” Li Yinsheng said.

The cultivator surnamed Zhang was immediately stunned.

Li Yinsheng continued, "Last month, True Person Yu Luan sent someone to invite me to be her Daoist partner, offering me 6,000 talisman coins per month and a top-grade refined gold magic sword as a gift."
