Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

Chapter 374 Master! How can I cultivate the Dao if I leave you?!

When Jiajing saw Murong Fu's skill in manipulating the ice vessel, his eyes widened in astonishment.

He had been practicing Taoism for over twenty years, and only occasionally did he feel that his body was a little better, and that he felt more energetic after taking some elixirs.

But this is on a completely different level from Murong Fu's methods.

Not to mention that he casually picked up a jar and poured out a clear, almost glowing liquid.

"This is...?" Jiajing looked at the Ice Venerable who exuded a slight chill before him and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

Murong Fu said, "I heard that you think the morning dew is the cleanest and purest?"

No, that's wrong. It doesn't offer any health benefits and is no different from ordinary spring water.

"Try this fountain of youth!"

Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up as he looked at this extraordinary spring.

But he was, after all, the emperor, and he would have people test everything he drank for poison.

But the spring water was only a small cup, and this Murong Fu before him was not his subject. If he missed his chance at immortality because of his distrust, he would surely regret it for the rest of his life...

After receiving the ice cup, Jiajing pondered for a long time before steeling his heart and raising the ice cup.

The young Taoist priest standing nearby naturally felt that this thing of unknown origin should not be drunk, since Jiajing's ascension to immortality had nothing to do with them.

But if Jiajing were to die suddenly after drinking it all, none of them, including their master, would escape.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

But it was precisely because of his objection that Jiajing made up his mind. That's how people are; once they are stopped, they will make up their minds.

Then Jiajing brought the ice wine cup to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.

"call"

After drinking the Fountain of Youth, Jiajing felt his mouth instantly fill with vitality, which then transformed into an icy line that flowed down his throat and instantly reached his stomach.

It was originally a cold liquid, but it became warm inside the body, and I felt a powerful life force within me.

Jiajing had never experienced anything like this before. Coming to his senses, he immediately felt a sense of physical and mental pleasure. He hadn't initially noticed it, but he thought to himself:

I have devoted myself to cultivation for twenty years, yet it cannot compare to the joy of meeting Murong Fu in a single encounter.

In that instant, he realized that Murong Fuxiu's work was real, and that he might have really gone astray.

Emperor Jiajing was an extremely stubborn man. He considered those who advised him against practicing Taoism to be treacherous officials.

However, once he's made up his mind about something, nothing can change it.

Now he is convinced that Murong Fu is a true master of Taoism, and he wants to cultivate Taoism with him!

With a fanatical glint in his eyes, Jiajing exclaimed, "Senior, how can this Fountain of Youth be so effective?!"

When Murong Fu heard Jiajing change his mind, he thought to himself that Jiajing was truly a person devoted to Taoism.

He said calmly, "The path you cultivate is too weak and off-track. You are still just an ordinary mortal. This Fountain of Immortality is a transcendent treasure for you."

Drinking this can extend one's lifespan by three months.

But for someone as accomplished as me, it's nothing more than ordinary spring water...

Do you know how old I am?

Emperor Jiajing was taken aback. This Murong Fu looked to be no more than twenty years old; otherwise, he wouldn't have addressed him as "fellow Daoist" from the start. Jiajing held those who had attained enlightenment in high esteem.

He dared not speak presumptuously, so he shook his head and said, "This junior cannot see it, please enlighten me, senior."

Murong Fu said, "I am now fifty years old, but my body is getting younger and younger."

As he spoke, Murong Fu activated his Mingyu Gong, and his raised arm seemed as transparent as glass.

Emperor Jiajing and the two young Taoist priests were both stunned.

After Murong Fu withdrew his arm, Jiajing hurriedly asked, "Senior, I have been seeking the Dao for many years."

But little did he expect that he would be misled by unorthodox paths and waste his youth...

But this disciple truly desires to cultivate the Great Dao, and hopes that Master will grant him favor and pass on his mantle...

'

Murong Fu also admired Jiajing, and as they talked, he went from being a fellow Daoist to a senior, and now he became his master.

It's clear he really wants to cultivate Taoism; he'd probably agree to even be asked to call him "Dad."

But Murong Fu knew he had to maintain a facade, so he said, "There are too many mundane affairs in the mortal world; how can one cultivate the Dao?"

When Jiajing heard this, he was taken aback, but he agreed wholeheartedly. He was always troubled by the affairs of the court and felt that the whole country needed his, the devilish emperor, to worry about it.

Thinking about this now, I even feel that it's because I've been carrying too heavy a burden that I've gone astray in my cultivation.

He's thirty-four years old this year, yet he's still accomplished nothing...

Jiajing immediately said, "Master, if you are willing to accept me as your disciple... I am willing to give up my empire and devote myself to cultivating Taoism."

However, my child is still very young... Could you please give me some time?

Murong Fu shook his head and said, "Hehe, you still don't want to give up the country?"

"I'm afraid our time isn't right yet. Let's talk about the master-disciple relationship again after you've truly let go of your empire."

Having said that, Murong Fu glided out of the main hall like a cloud, then stepped into the air and soared straight into the sky.

As Jiajing watched Murong Fu about to leave, he desperately chased after him.

But Murong Fu's speed was such that even top martial arts masters couldn't catch up with him, let alone Jiajing, a mere mortal whose health wasn't very good.

Naturally, all they could do was watch Murong Fu get further and further away, even soaring into the sky.

When Jiajing saw Murong Fu disappear into the sky, tears streamed down his face.

"Master! Master!! How can I cultivate the Tao without you!! Master—"

—

After a frantic run, he fell to the ground and cried like a child.

"I don't want it! I don't want the throne anymore, I don't want anything, Master!!!"

The two young Taoist priests, who arrived late, quickly helped Jiajing up. They knew that if others saw Jiajing crying here, they would be in trouble.

But Jiajing had no intention of getting up now, nor did he care about the two young Taoist priests' worries; he only regretted his earlier hesitation.

What empire, what throne... none of them can compare to the importance of cultivating immortality!

But in reality, everyone who was considering leaving the company would have some doubts about Murong Fu, who had only appeared briefly.

Could he really make someone give up the throne just because of two words and a cup of water?

That doesn't sound very plausible.

Murong Fu knew that this matter couldn't be accomplished overnight. So he decisively left, leaving himself with plenty of mystery.

This will lay the foundation for seizing power next time.

After all, the Zhu family's rule is still relatively stable, and it might not be better for him to be anxious. Murong Fu has plenty of time...

Three months later, Murong Fu's influence in the martial arts world had become even more solid.

As for the opportunity that Murong Fu gave him, Jiajing missed it day and night and regretted it night after night.

The magistrate of Baoding County who impeached and slandered Murong Fu has been beheaded by Jiajing, and his entire family has been wiped out.

They wouldn't dare send anyone to monitor him secretly, let mortals monitor immortals?!

Don't you ruin my chance to become an immortal!

Even Jiajing secretly helped Murong Fu's subordinates expand their territory, giving them the green light all the way, in order to show his loyalty.

But now Murong Fu has a new problem—the exploration progress of the Flying Dagger World has reached 30%, but no new worlds have been unlocked...
