This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully recruiting a qualified Taoist disciple, thus expanding the Taoist lineage. You are rewarded with 2 merit points.]

[Congratulations, host, on your first disciple recruitment, unlocking the Taoist inheritance system. You are rewarded with 500 merit points, the *Huang Ting Jing*, and the *I Ching*.]

The Taoist inheritance system is now open. Disciples who achieve success in their cultivation, perform good deeds, and slay demons and evil will all earn merit points from the host.

As Li Daoxuan expected, the system responded after Qingfeng and Mingyue were added to the genealogy as his official disciples.

With over 500 merit points and two essential Taoist scriptures, the reward is quite substantial.

The key point is that in the future, whether Qingfeng and Mingyue improve their cultivation or do good deeds, he, as their master, will receive merit points as a reward.

So, if he has enough disciples and sends them to do good deeds in various places, he can attain immortality even if he lies at home doing nothing.

Of course, even with such temptation, Li Daoxuan would not open his mountain gates to the public indiscriminately.

If a disciple does good deeds, the master will receive merit; if a disciple does evil, the master will naturally be entangled in karma and implicated.

Therefore, the matter of accepting apprentices still needs to be approached with caution.

After accepting Qingfeng and Mingyue as his disciples, Li Daoxuan did not rush to teach them cultivation methods.

I still teach them to read and understand principles, and I also teach them the methods to enter a state of tranquility.

Let them use this to return to their center and strengthen their primordial spirit.

This lays the foundation for future spiritual practice.

The next day, Wang Juren brought Wang Yangming and his sister Wang Jingshu to the courtyard early in the morning.

Li Daoxuan instructed Qingfeng to brew two cups of tea. Wang Yangming and Wang Jingshu respectfully knelt down to offer the tea, which Li Daoxuan accepted with a nod. After a series of words of earnest encouragement, the master-disciple ceremony was considered complete.

Seeing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue thought to themselves that their master had not yet truly accepted them as disciples.

Of course, they wouldn't reveal that after entering the Taoist lineage, Qingfeng and Mingyue's spirit or soul underwent a certain transformation, enabling them to sense auras that ordinary people couldn't perceive.

I also gained a deeper understanding of the word "cause and effect" that Li Daoxuan mentioned that day.

Everything depends on the conditions and circumstances.

In addition to becoming his apprentice, Wang, the scholar, also presented him with a land deed.

To the east of the courtyard is a wasteland overgrown with weeds, with only one ancient camphor tree that is nearly a hundred years old.

If you walk another twenty feet or so east along this wasteland, you will reach the Luoying River, which has nourished the people of Anyi County for generations.

The land deed that Wang Juren brought was for the wasteland that stretched eastward from the small courtyard all the way to the Luoying River.

Li Daoxuan did not refuse and gladly accepted it.

Spiritual practice requires resources, companions, methods, and a suitable environment. As the number of disciples gradually increases in the future, this small dwelling will certainly not be enough.

It's good to plan ahead.

Moreover, Li Daoxuan had another plan: to open a clinic to treat the sick and save lives.

The Taiyi Danjing records eighty-one elixir formulas, more than thirty of which are specifically used to treat illnesses and heal injuries.

Since there are prescriptions for treating illnesses and healing injuries, there are naturally corresponding diagnostic methods and the medical principles they cover.

The five arts of Taoism are mountain, medicine, destiny, physiognomy, and divination. Medicine is a subject that Taoist practitioners must study.

Li Daoxuan was no exception.

Therefore, this land deed was an indispensable necessity for Li Daoxuan.

Of course, he wouldn't take Wang Juren's things for nothing.

Instead, he took out three talismans and exchanged them with Scholar Wang.

A talisman can protect you from evil spirits even if you encounter them.

A healing talisman, drawn with his magical power, can cure almost any illness except for some difficult and incurable diseases.

There was also a talisman for summoning gods, but it didn't summon the gods of the heavens; instead, it summoned Li Daoxuan's own Daoist true god.

No matter how far apart they are, as long as this summoning talisman is activated, they can borrow a portion of his power.

Wang Juren may not yet fully understand the value of these three talismans, but he will know when he has the opportunity to use them in the future. To be able to exchange the land deed for less than one hundred taels of silver for these three talismans is simply an incredible stroke of luck.

Wang Yangming and Wang Jingshu, brother and sister, thus became disciples of Li Daoxuan.

Every day at Chenshi (7-9 AM), he would rush from the Wang family's house to the small courtyard to read together.

Although Li Daoxuan did not include them in the lineage of Daoism, he treated them equally and taught them the method of entering a state of tranquility by returning to the center of the mind.

At first, Wang Jingshu thought it was some kind of profound martial arts technique and showed great interest.

But it was later discovered that this so-called profound martial arts technique was simply about sitting there motionless, unable to even think.

As time went on, she gradually became restless.

So every afternoon during her one-hour meditation session, this twelve-year-old girl felt restless, shifting around as if she had a needle under her butt.

On the contrary, Wang Yangming, who was very reluctant to practice martial arts, was able to sit still.

After Mingyue became an apprentice that day, much of the gloom in her heart dissipated.

Although he still doesn't like to talk much, at least you can occasionally see a smile on his face.

She was also the most talented of Li Daoxuan's four disciples.

After the method of entering a meditative state was taught to her, she was able to achieve a brief meditative state on the same day.

Even Li Daoxuan had to admit that Mingyue was a born cultivator.

Following Mingyue, the second person to successfully enter a meditative state was Wang Yangming, who came from behind.

Three days after starting the course, Wang Yangming also entered a state of tranquility, and from then on, his mind was at peace, and he nourished and strengthened his primordial spirit.

On the contrary, the eldest brother, Qingfeng, was of mediocre talent. It took him ten days to barely grasp the knack of entering a meditative state and his mind gradually calmed down.

As for Wang Jingshu, according to Li Daoxuan, this girl would only be able to enter a meditative state if she drastically changed her nature and became a completely different person.

The four disciples studied and cultivated in the courtyard every day, and construction began on the wasteland to the east of the courtyard, according to the blueprints drawn by Li Daoxuan himself.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Thus, the years passed peacefully, and time flowed on.

Autumn colors turn white, and the air begins to grow cold, condensing into dew, which is called White Dew.

Three months have passed, and the weather has turned cold.

The four disciples all began to wear thin cotton clothes, but Li Daoxuan remained in his blue robe, untouched by the dust of the world.

At dawn, Li Daoxuan opened his eyes to the rising sun.

Last night, I suddenly felt inspired during my spiritual practice. On a whim, I went out alone and, in my wheelchair, went to the Luoying River for quiet meditation.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the ever-flowing magical power within his body gradually calmed down.

"To condense twenty strands of magical power overnight... the Great Yellow Court truly deserves its reputation as a masterpiece of inner alchemy cultivation..."

Li Daoxuan's eyes were smiling, and his expression was serene. As his Taoist skills became higher and his cultivation deepened, his heart became calmer and calmer.

While his disciples needed to sit cross-legged and calm their minds to enter a meditative state, Li Daoxuan could do it in the blink of an eye.

Li Daoxuan glanced at his legs, then slowly stood up, supporting himself with the armrests of his wheelchair.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, a long-lost sense of security washed over him, filling him with genuine joy.

"I can finally stand up..."

Li Daoxuan murmured softly.

However, it will take some time before he is fully recovered. Although he can stand, he is unable to walk.

Unless Li Daoxuan forcibly infuses his legs with magic power to support his body, he cannot stabilize himself with the strength of his legs alone.

But this is already very good.

A few months ago, his legs had almost completely atrophied. His calves below the knees were even thinner than his forearms, and his thighs above the knees were much thinner than normal thighs.

If this happened to an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to recover; they might even experience necrosis, leading to amputation.

Li Daoxuan sat back in his wheelchair, waved his hand contentedly, and channeled his magical power, propelling the wheelchair forward on its own.

As Li Daoxuan passed by the newly built house with its beams and frames already erected, his gaze lingered for a moment, and he smiled knowingly.

Then he turned to look into the distance, his fingers subtly calculating within his sleeve, and smiled slightly:

"It seems today is a good day; is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?"
