This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The ghost listened to Li Daoxuan muttering incantations and scoffed dismissively, saying:

"Are you delirious? Don't worry, it'll be over soon..."

Having said that, the ghost opened its mouth and inhaled sharply.

"Throughout the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme..."

Only Li Daoxuan's voice echoed in the dilapidated temple.

The ghost had its mouth open and remained motionless.

Two large question marks seemed to appear in those sinister and terrifying eyes.

Its prized methods failed to work on Li Daoxuan.

The ghost took two more breaths, but Li Daoxuan was like a stone, no matter how much it inhaled, there was no reaction.

Forget about yang energy, he didn't even suck out a fart.

The ghost's eyes slowly shifted from confusion to ferocity. Its claws shot out, grabbing at Li Daoxuan, as it roared:

"If I can't suck you, I'll just bite you up piece by piece..."

Li Daoxuan remained unmoved, sensing that something seemed to have changed within him.

A righteous and upright force seemed to break free of its shackles and erupted with a roar.

"Golden light emanates from my body, enveloping me..."

As the last word fell, in an instant, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the dim, dilapidated temple, vast and majestic, like the power of a god.

"ah..."

A mournful scream rang out, and just as the ghostly claws were about to touch Li Daoxuan's body, they were illuminated by the burst of golden light, and like frost meeting a raging fire, they instantly dissipated by more than half.

The ghost's body was struck as if by lightning, and it retreated violently, turning into a blur as it darted out of the dilapidated temple and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Under the golden light, the boy and the woman with the sword, who had been frozen in place, instantly regained their mobility and looked at Li Daoxuan in shock.

Although Li Daoxuan still looked like a beggar, in their eyes he seemed like a god from heaven, radiating golden light and inviolable.

A few breaths later, Li Daoxuan swayed, coughed up a mouthful of blood, the hand seals dissipated, the golden light disappeared, and he slumped to the side, lying unconscious on the pile of grass.

The boy was terrified and rushed over in a flash, anxiously saying:

"Senior, senior, how are you?"

The woman with the sword stared at Li Daoxuan in disbelief, and when she thought about her attitude towards him just now, she felt her cheeks burning.

Unexpectedly, the beggar they ridiculed and despised turned out to be a profound and unfathomable master.

Even a master of the True Qi Realm would have to put up a fight against that deadly ghost, but this beggar severely injured it with just one move.

At this moment, the boy had already carried Li Daoxuan on his back, and turned to the woman with the sword, saying solemnly:

"Senior Sister, that vengeful ghost hasn't been eliminated. If it senses that Senior is seriously injured, it will definitely return. Quickly, let's leave this place and go to the county town!"

The woman with the sword hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two dried corpses of her fellow disciples on the ground, and her eyes were filled with grief.

However, she was not an indecisive person; after only a slight hesitation, she left the dilapidated temple with the boy.

Li Daoxuan woke up at noon the next day.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was no longer the dilapidated temple, but the top of a mosquito net on a bed.

I was covered with a soft blanket, which was very warm.

Li Daoxuan immediately realized that it must have been the boy in the dilapidated temple who brought him back.

"Thankfully, they still have a conscience and didn't abandon me..."

Li Daoxuan muttered something to himself, then lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed.

Li Daoxuan only realized that he had become a beggar with crippled legs and could not walk when his legs just touched the ground.

Sure enough, he had just stood up when he fell down, almost landing face-first in the dirt.

Li Daoxuan looked back at his legs and gave a helpless, bitter smile. He hadn't gotten used to his new body yet.

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to get up and sit up, his expression suddenly froze.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Li Daoxuan stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed on the semi-transparent attribute panel in front of him, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

It wasn't until he tried hiding and summoning the panel several times that he finally realized this wasn't an illusion, but a real and unexpected encounter that had befallen him.

Fortunately, with the time travel incident as a prelude, the addition of a system isn't so difficult to understand.

Suppressing his inner joy, Li Daoxuan murmured to himself:

"Is this the cheat code that transmigrators in online novels always have?"

"A true immortal of the Daoist sect... what a coincidence..."

In his previous life, his father spent his entire life cultivating Taoism, constantly talking about becoming an immortal and transcending worldly concerns.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't fulfill this wish himself, but his son, who had traveled to another world, had the potential to do so.

Li Daoxuan quickly accepted this incredible event and began to focus on studying the "Taiyi Danjing" that the system had rewarded him with.

After reading it once, Li Daoxuan had a basic understanding of its contents.

Since it is called the "Dan Jing" (Alchemy Classic), it is, as the name suggests, a method for achieving immortality through alchemy.

The alchemical texts record two types of alchemy: internal and external elixirs.

Internal alchemy practitioners use the human body as a furnace and essence, qi, and spirit as the great medicine. They refine their practice through various methods such as sitting in oblivion, fasting of the mind, guiding and breathing exercises, etc., in order to cultivate the golden elixir within their bodies.

Once the Golden Elixir is refined, one is no longer a mortal. There is a saying that goes, "Once a Golden Elixir is swallowed, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven."

Those who practice external alchemy gather the energy of heaven and earth, the essence of plants and trees, and the essentials of the five elements to refine the elixir of immortality. They then ingest this elixir to replenish their energy and attain immortality.

The Taiyi Danjing, a reward from the system, records eighty-one external elixir formulas, some for enhancing cultivation, some for saving lives and healing injuries, and some even for harming and killing people.

The most outrageous thing is that there are two external alchemy formulas that contain pills that can make people become immortals.

One of them is called the Nine-Turn Flawless Golden Elixir. Taking it can remove one's mortal body, instantly become an immortal, and achieve the status of a celestial being.

There is a pill called the Yang Shen Immortal Pill, which can dissolve the physical body, make the primordial spirit pure Yang, allow the spirit to roam beyond the material world, and achieve the immortal status of the Yang Shen Immortal.

However, refining these two pill formulas is extremely difficult.

Li Daoxuan even felt that many of the conditions were a joke.

After learning about the Taiyi Danjing, Li Daoxuan began to study merit points.

Its effects are straightforward and simple, nothing more than enhancing cultivation, extending lifespan, and tempering the body.

Upon seeing this, Li Daoxuan became intrigued.

He was still disabled in both legs and unable to take care of his daily life.

For him, this is undoubtedly the biggest dilemma at present.

With a glimmer of hope, Li Daoxuan instructed the system:

"System, use merit points to heal my legs."
