Hermit in the Mountains

With Yang Xiaoshan taking the lead, Yin Yue stepped forward and recommended someone to join the God of Wealth's Mansion, "Master, this disciple has a suggestion."

"This disciple recommends Zhang Yufu from the palace to help at the God of Wealth's Palace."

Behind him, Zhang Yufu was stunned for a moment when he heard his senior sister recommend him to join the God of Wealth's Mansion. His heart was full of doubts.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng asked softly, "Spirit Medicine Island has a huge amount of work to do, and you're pushing everyone away?"

"But is there a more suitable candidate?"

"Master, you are wise." Yin Yue bowed respectfully. "This disciple has indeed discovered three individuals skilled in cultivating spiritual herbs."

"I have observed them for nearly a month and have also investigated their identities and backgrounds."

"Hua Ya, Hua Qin, and Hua Lan, triplets, are wood-type Dao seedlings, at the fourth stage of the Dao seedling realm;"

"The three sisters arrived on Blue Star last September, immediately switched to cultivating their master's Dao Seed Method, and joined Ten Thousand Dao City two months ago."

"After the three sisters joined Wandao City, they demonstrated extraordinary talent in cultivating spiritual herbs."

"My investigation revealed that the three sisters cultivated wood-based techniques in their original world. They disliked fighting and preferred to study the cultivation of spiritual herbs and the art of alchemy."

"Alright!" Gu Changsheng didn't ask any further questions, trusting his disciple's judgment, and added, "Don't give him the Changsheng Jade Token yet; observe him for three months."

"If there are no major problems, find your fifth junior brother to collect your registered disciple identity token."

"Thank you, Master!" Yin Yue bowed in gratitude and returned to her original position.

Gu Changsheng suddenly remembered the old Taoist and the old monk who were also among the first batch of cultivators, looked at Zhang Yuanfu, and casually asked.

"Yuanfu, what's the current situation with Shen Qingxu and Shi Yideng?"

Zhang Yuanfu mentally reviewed the information from Shen Qingxu and Shi Yideng, then stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to Master."

"Master Shen and Abbot Shi have merged with Wanshou Pavilion into Wandao City, and are currently serving as alchemy elders in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Has anyone founded a sect or expanded their sect?" Gu Changsheng spared a wisp of his mind to examine the feedback from the Great Dao Laws and their influence.

There really was a backflow of fortune from the laws that Shen Qingxu and Shi Yideng had comprehended.

It embodies special Dao seeds, namely the Pure Void Dao Seed and the Vajra Dao Seed.

He used the Qi Luck Feeding Line to locate himself and used his divine sense to explore the Myriad Paths City.

The two people's cultivation levels were fed back into his mind; they were at the fourth stage of the Dao Tree Realm, almost catching up with the cultivation level of his fourth personal disciple, Su Xinghe.

Advancing from the Dao Root Realm to the Dao Seedling Realm is a hurdle;

Advancing from the Dao Seedling Realm to the Dao Tree Realm is another major hurdle.

Information about the two individuals within the virtual realm of myriad paths surfaced in my mind.

In unpublished internal documents, the two were surprisingly rated as alchemy masters.

As expected of someone who has touched the path of cultivation in the Dharma-ending Age, his temperament, comprehension, fortune, and aptitude are all of the highest quality.

Zhang Yuanfu recounted all the information about Shen Qingxu and Shi Yideng, then asked, "Teacher, have they not yet?"

"Master Shen had two formal disciples, a boy and a girl, who were treated as novice Daoists. The boy even served at the Changsheng Temple."

"Besides that, there is another disciple who is in charge of external affairs. She is Meng Tianmei, whom you met once before, Teacher."

"Abbot Shi had only one formal disciple, a young novice monk who had worked at the Changsheng Temple with a young Taoist boy."

"There is also a lay disciple who is in charge of external affairs, and she is Deng Jiu'er, whom you met once before, Master."

Upon hearing two unfamiliar and distant names, Gu Changsheng recalled scenes from the past.

It seems like the authorities set up this scheme specifically for him.

He went down the mountain to meet some celebrities, dispelling the childhood illusions and ending his wish to never have seen a real celebrity in person.

As his cultivation level rose, he almost forgot about this little matter if Zhang Yuanfu hadn't mentioned those two names.

Looking back on the path we've traveled, a unique feeling arises in my heart.

Each stage brings a different state of mind.

This is a trivial matter that he wouldn't care about nowadays;

However, given the circumstances at the time, it still had a significant impact on his state of mind.

Severing ties with childhood memories and severing ties with worldly karma were two minor mental obstacles he faced before breaking through to the next level.

"Yuanfu, go and see those two."

"By the way, would you be willing to give up everything in the outside world and become an alchemist in the Longevity Cave?"

"If you're willing, bring them and your disciples to the Mortal Island."

There were only six people in total. Gu Changsheng waved his hand and packed all six of them up.

As for the two former celebrities, the Virtual World might develop a live streaming business in the future.

Even if they don't become famous, their appearance as a celebrity in the cultivation world during a live stream will be a unique spectacle.

These are minor matters, but quite a few people will join the Ordinary Island to fill the ranks of those handling affairs at the grassroots level.

"Yuanfu, the mortal islands within the grotto are now under your jurisdiction."

"In the development and operation of the virtual world, each party can select a few of their most loyal members, who are free from worldly ties, to join the mortal island."

Gu Changsheng recalled that when he was selling ginseng, the first person he met was Zhang Dafu, which could be considered a kind of fate.

"Your wife, son, and daughter-in-law should also join us."

Zhang Yuanfu knelt down with a thud and bowed in gratitude, "Disciple...disciple thanks Master for his grace, thanks Master for his grace."

Zhang Yufu, who was standing to the side, also knelt on the ground to express his gratitude, saying, "Disciple thanks Teacher for his kindness!"

Gu Changsheng gestured, "Get up and get back to work."

"Thank you, Teacher..." After expressing their gratitude, Zhang Yuanfu and his granddaughter slowly stood up, their eyes filled with tears.

Gu Changsheng looked at Yang Dashan and saw his envious expression. He said softly, "Dashan, why don't you bring your wife to live in the mortal courtyard as well?"

"A family should be together..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong and changed his words, saying, "A family reunited, that's good!"

They don't have to be experimenters now, but they all deserve some credit for what happened back then.

He finds it easy and convenient to use.

He wasn't supporting them for nothing; they were all capable of working.

Gu Changsheng caught a glimpse of the expressions on Jin Yuanbao and his two siblings' faces out of the corner of his eye. "Fine, two more won't hurt."

The three siblings possess three innate spiritual treasure embryos, and are expected to wield the power of the God of Wealth in the future.

His parents' cultivation resources were not something he needed to worry about.

"Jin Yuanbao, your parents should also come to live in the mortal courtyard."

When Gu Changsheng saw the three members of the Yang family and the three members of the Jin family about to kneel down again, he said, "No need for formalities. Just do the task I assigned you."

"Yuanfu, the Mortal Island will continue to handle matters outside the main world; the virtual world can be gradually opened up."

"Before the number of players in each virtual city reaches its limit, other new virtual cities will be developed in turn."

"The Changsheng Tongbao coins should be distributed to the outside world as soon as possible; you have a heavy responsibility."

"The raw materials for the Longevity Coin are collected from the Mortal Court."

"You two departments should discuss the coordination between yourselves."

"Go back, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changsheng's illusory figure disappeared from the main hall.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to Master... +5"

"Respectfully seeing off the teacher................+9"

The crowd bowed in unison, and their figures gradually disappeared.

On the other side, Gu Changsheng returned to his physical body and instructed Da Huang to guard the house.

He sat cross-legged on the back of the green ox, stepped out of the Longevity Cave, and transformed into a streak of green light heading towards Kunlun Mountain.
