Junior sister, I really need to control you

The cultivator surnamed Zhang was dumbfounded.

After his expression changed several times, he smiled awkwardly: "The matter of a Daoist partner is of great importance. Junior Brother Li should consider it carefully."

"Alright, Junior Brother Li, please consider this. I've delivered your message. Go back and report now, and I'll come to visit again in a few days..."

As he spoke, the cultivator surnamed Zhang pulled out a talisman from his waist, took a few steps into the air, and rode away on the wind.

Watching the other person's figure grow smaller and smaller in the air, a hint of fear and envy flashed in Li Yinsheng's eyes—

This person can fly by using the Flying Talisman, but he can neither afford the talisman nor has the cultivation level to use it so flexibly.

The other party seemed amiable and frank, but in the end, he was a cultivator with at least thirty or forty years of experience.

Since he transmigrated to this world, he has been cultivating diligently since he was nine years old, and has now been cultivating for thirteen years.

However, limited by their aptitude, no matter how hard they try or how much they work day and night, their cultivation achievements are at most equivalent to about twenty years of cultivation for an ordinary cultivator.

To be honest, that Taoist's cultivation level was almost twice that of his.

Thinking about how he had cultivated diligently for thirteen years and yet only achieved this much, Li Yinsheng couldn't help but lament his own usefulness and the incompetence of his cheat system—

With a single thought, a vivid and illusory picture unfolded in his mind—

Countless lotus flowers and lotus leaves stand in the vast lake, and a full moon shines through the night sky. Directly below the full moon is a white jade platform about ten feet in diameter.

At the same time, in the night sky depicted in the painting, moonlight transformed into lines of pale golden characters.

Lord of the Cave Heaven: Mu Xiaoyu

Aspiration for spiritual practice: None

Cultivation Rewards: None

This is his cheat code, it's been with him since the first day he transmigrated.

At the same time, this is also a cheat code that has never played any role.

It's not hard to tell from the information given by the cheat system that the owner of this cheat system doesn't seem to be him at all!

Mu Xiaoyu! Who exactly is Mu Xiaoyu?! How could you be so selfish as to write your name on my cheat system?!

A series of "drip-drip, ding-bang, ding-bang" sounds of suona horns and drums came from outside the door, interrupting Li Yinsheng's thoughts, and he was immediately stunned.

Although Xuanzhen Peak is located on the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains and is not completely isolated from the mortal world, it is still far from human habitation.

Whether it's a funeral or a wedding, holding it at the entrance of their Xuanzhen Temple is a bit of an abstract concept, isn't it?

……

A moment later, Li Yinsheng pushed open the pitted wooden door of Xuanzhen Temple.

Sure enough, there was a group of mortals outside dressed in very festive clothes, not only beating drums and gongs, but also scattering flower petals everywhere.

At the very center of the crowd was an enormous sedan chair, painted with gold and adorned with jade, agate, pearls, and other precious stones, making it extremely grand.

The sedan chair bearers were all eight feet tall, with sharp eyes and bulging temples. Li Yinsheng could sense that they were full of vigor and must have been trained martial artists from the mortal dynasty.

Upon seeing someone emerge, the sedan bearers lowered the sedan chair, and a middle-aged man and woman led a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old out of the sedan chair. Both the man and woman were extraordinary, dressed in luxurious clothes, and it was clear at a glance that they were of noble status in the mortal world.

The girl looked pretty and charming, dressed in equally luxurious clothes, with a delicate phoenix jade pendant hanging from her waist, so exquisite that even the feather patterns were finely carved and lifelike.

Her delicate, fair face clearly bore the features of the man and woman; she was obviously their daughter.

The little girl looked tired from the journey, listless, with some crumbs of pastry still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

The middle-aged man walked with a powerful stride, his face weathered and his body exuding a fierce aura. In the mortal world, he would seem to be a general of the highest order, but when he reached Li Yinsheng, he immediately bowed down in obeisance.

"Mu Hu, Prince of Wuwei, Left General and Governor of Yanzhou of the Dayong Dynasty, and head of the Mu family, pays respects to the Immortal Master and wishes you boundless blessings and longevity!"

As the middle-aged man bowed, the woman behind him and her daughter also bowed. The other sedan chair bearers, servants, and those banging gongs and drums simply knelt down.

"Please rise, everyone. This is a place of quiet cultivation in the mountains, where worldly etiquette is not observed."

Having been born in the People's Republic of China in his previous life, and having cultivated immortality on the mountain since childhood in this life, Li Yinsheng was experiencing so many people kneeling before him for the first time. He felt somewhat uncomfortable, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.

"There is a distinction between immortals and mortals. How did you manage to find your way to my mountain gate? And why are you making such a racket, disturbing my peaceful cultivation?"

"Immortal Master, please forgive me!" Mu Hu, who had just stood up, hurriedly bowed again. "I, no, no, I was unaware that the immortals preferred tranquility. I am so sorry!"

"As for how Xiao Wang came to be here... A hundred years ago, my Mu family ancestor had a relationship with a Taoist master from Xuanzhen Temple. The Taoist master left behind a geomantic map and said that if any member of the Mu family had the talent to cultivate Taoism in the future, they could come here to find the map and become his disciple."

"Xiao Wang's daughter is exceptionally intelligent and quick-witted from a young age. Xiao Wang thinks she might have some divine talent..."

Li Yinsheng remained silent.

He now truly understands what his online friend meant by "joining the National Revolutionary Army in 49," and he has such a great injustice right in front of him.

Xuanzhen Temple is about to close down, and you've come here seeking enlightenment! Are you just here to freeload a farewell dinner?

“Xuanzhen Temple no longer accepts disciples. Prince Mu can try other Taoist temples under the Zhengyang lineage. If your daughter truly has the aptitude for cultivating immortality, there will naturally be a Taoist temple willing to accept her.”

As Li Yinsheng politely declined, he subconsciously shook his head.

He knew that the listless-looking little girl wouldn't be accepted by any Taoist temple—

Because she has no root.

The term "innate capacity" refers to any quality in a person that is conducive to spiritual practice.

For example, a strong physique, wider meridians than ordinary people, or a photographic memory, or even a naturally stronger soul than ordinary people, such as the ability to see ghosts and gods.

Some are even more gifted, born with a special constitution or even attracting unusual phenomena.

Although there are countless different possibilities and forms of "root quality", even the lowest level of root quality is extremely rare, one in ten thousand.

Ordinary people without any innate talent can cultivate, but it's not worth it.

Those without inherent potential will not achieve much even if they practice diligently for a lifetime; their greatest benefit will be a slight extension of their lifespan.

For those who have achieved success in cultivation, their innate qualities are like a luminous pearl. Whether an ordinary person has innate qualities or not can be seen at a glance simply by circulating their magical power.

He had just checked, and this girl had no potential.

"Immortal Master!" Mu Hu was immediately alarmed when he heard Li Yinsheng refuse without hesitation.

"No need for further words. Fate is predetermined. If I say I won't accept you, that's exactly what I mean... wait a minute."

Li Yinsheng's heart stirred slightly, and with a glimmer of hope, he asked, "Your surname is Mu, so what is your daughter's name?"

“My daughter’s name is Xiaoyu. She was born after a traveling Taoist priest who was passing by and divined her fate…” Prince Mu immediately said respectfully.

Mu Xiaoyu!

Li Yinsheng's gaze fell on the void, staring at the golden characters that only he could see—the characters read "Mu Xiaoyu".

"Ahem, although Xuanzhen Temple no longer accepts disciples, I have seen the love that Prince Mu has for his daughter, which is so deep that it could be said to have moved Heaven. Today, I will make an exception and accept you into the temple!"

Li Yinsheng solemnly said, "However, the rules need to be made clear in advance. New disciples cannot begin their cultivation immediately upon entering the sect!"

"First, she must enter the sect as a disciple to copy scriptures and learn Taoism. She must undergo a period of observation that can last from one to three years before she can receive the transmission of the cultivation method."

"Only when you have made some progress in your cultivation, distinguished yourself, and gained the favor of the masters in the temple, can you become a disciple, cultivate more profound methods, and even obtain a Dharma position. Are you willing to abide by these rules?"

Prince Mu was stunned, not understanding why Li Yinsheng's attitude had suddenly changed completely, but within a moment or two, he reacted and quickly bowed down:

"Yes, yes, thank you, Immortal Master! It's only natural for immortals to observe their disciples for three years! Little Fish, Little Fish, come and pay your respects to your senior brother!"

Facing the respectful Prince Mu, Li Yinsheng was also somewhat unsure of himself.

Although he kept the girl, his cheat ability didn't seem to have changed. Could it just be a coincidence that they had the same name?

"Greetings, Senior Brother!" Mu Xiaoyu bowed in return.

The moment Mu Xiaoyu bowed down, the sound of a grand bell suddenly echoed in Li Yinsheng's mind.

The cheat system that hadn't worked for over a decade, from the time he transmigrated until just now, suddenly surfaced in his mind on its own.

A dreamlike painting unfolds, revealing countless lotus flowers and leaves standing tall in a vast lake, with a full moon illuminating the night sky, and the pale gold characters formed by the moonlight changing.

Lord of the Cave Heaven: Mu Xiaoyu

The will to cultivate oneself: The four essentials of cultivation are "Dharma, wealth, companion, and place," with "Dharma" being the most important!

However, as the saying goes, "the secrets of a skill should not be passed on to six ears." The transmission of skills and techniques is of utmost importance and has never been lightly passed on since ancient times.

Now that the Lord of the Cave Heaven has joined a cultivation sect, he should strive to demonstrate his talent and his aspiration for the Dao, and gain the sect's recognition as soon as possible so that the sect can teach him the cultivation techniques and he can learn them quickly.

This is the first and foremost thing in spiritual practice!

Cultivation Rewards:

Those who master the technique after more than a year will be rewarded with three months of cultivation time.

Those who master the technique within a year will be rewarded with six months of cultivation experience.

Those who master the technique within six months will be rewarded with a year's worth of cultivation experience.

Those who master the technique within three months will be rewarded with three years of cultivation experience.

Those who master the technique within a month will be rewarded with ten years of cultivation.

Those who master the technique within ten days will be rewarded with twenty years of cultivation.

[Those who master the technique within a day will be rewarded with thirty years of cultivation]

As the information surged into his mind, Li Yinsheng froze.

Chapter 2 So the reward is actually my own cultivation!

Xuanzhen Temple, on the third floor of the Sutra Repository.

Half an hour ago, Prince Mu and his entourage had already left. Mu Xiaoyu was arranged to stay in a relatively intact bedroom in the temple. Before leaving, Li Yinsheng left her two sets of Taoist robes to wear in the temple.

At this moment, he was walking towards the deepest bookshelf on the third floor of the library.

He could teach that Junior Sister Mu cultivation techniques at any time. As the only person in the Taoist temple with cultivation, the rule that new disciples had to copy scriptures for two or three years to be tested was just a piece of paper to him, and he didn't need to abide by it at all.

Although the purpose of copying scriptures is to enable disciples to understand the alchemical terminology and talismanic script within the cultivation methods through studying the scriptures, but...

Fortunately, the cultivation method he practiced was moderate and balanced, emphasizing a solid foundation and gradual progress. The first level was extremely simple, so simple that no prior knowledge of scriptures was required to cultivate it.

It contains only one set of boxing techniques with twenty-seven movements, used to strengthen vital energy, temper the body, and lay a solid foundation for future cultivation.

Therefore, as long as someone teaches you step by step, not only can someone who has never studied the scriptures learn the first level, but even someone who is illiterate can learn it!

Of course, this technique is easy to learn but difficult to master. It only took him two days to learn it, but it took him a full year and a half to progress from the first level to the second level, even with the help of medicines to replenish vital energy.
