Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

On the eighteenth day of the winter lunar month, the weather is getting colder.

That night.

In the south of Yong'an City, in Yanping Lane, there is Zhangji Pharmacy.

The lights are bright and the figures are shaking.

Jing'er, after you go to the Taoist temple, you must be careful and don't conflict with the immortals inside.

inside the room.

A middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament neatly put the clothes into the package and gave instructions over and over again. The corners of her eyes were crinkled, as if there was a layer of worry that couldn't be resolved.

People say: The mother worries when her son travels thousands of miles.

And my children’s journey is more than a thousand miles?

Opposite the woman.

Mom, looking at the busy figure in front of him, a hint of emotion flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes, I know all this.

Mother Zhang seemed to have not heard anything and still said to herself:

Although you are valued by the Master, you must know that there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains. Longhu Taoist Academy is no better than Yong'an Academy. There are countless talents from the 13 states and 65 counties of Nanli Kingdom gathered there, and among them, the talent is even greater than yours. , just like the crucian carp crossing the river.

...You must pay special attention to those members of the clan. If you encounter trouble, take a step back first to avoid causing trouble for no reason.

Mom, I'm just a child like you. I don't ask you to pass the Taoist examination and become an immortal. I just ask you to be safe and sound——

As she spoke, Mother Zhang wiped the corners of her eyes slightly.

Don't worry, I will pay attention. Zhang Jing hurriedly comforted.

Jing'er, don't put pressure on yourself.

Opposite me, Father Zhang put down the medical book in his hand and said with a smile: This trip is just about trying your best.

Facing the expectant eyes of his parents, Zhang Jing nodded heavily and said seriously:

Mom, dad, don't worry, I will take care of myself.

…

Bang—bang! Bang!

It's midnight, it's safe - nothing happened -

The watchman's voice came from far away, hazy, making people feel sleepy.

However, at this time, the people in the room were not sleepy at all.

Madam, I remember you once said that you are from the Cangwu Li family in Yunzhou, and you only fled to Yong'an because of the demon disaster. Has anyone from the Li family participated in the Taoist examination before?

Father Zhang asked cautiously, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Husband, you want to ask me if our Jing'er has a chance to pass, right?

Without waiting for Zhang's father to answer, Zhang's mother sighed and said quietly:

It's so difficult! Five people before and after Li's main line took part in the assessment, but none of them passed.

In fact, even among the noble families of the Nanli Dynasty, very few can pass. And my husband, you and I are just ordinary people, so we can't provide much support to Jing'er...

The room suddenly fell silent.

a long time.

Oh~ yes! Father Zhang said in a bitter voice: After all, Longhu Taoist Temple is inherited by the immortals and has stood for thousands of years. It would be abnormal if the assessment was really that easy.

Then, Father Zhang changed his tone and asked:

Madam, have you given the money to Jing'er?

Don't worry, husband. I took out all the money at home and borrowed some from some neighbors. I collected a total of twenty-seven taels and put them all in Jing'er's package.

That's good...that's good.

There's only so much we can do for Jing'er. By the way, madam, I've been thinking about it for my husband, and I think it's better to agree to them about the drug store!

Then the people from Baicao Pavilion are looking for my husband again?

Hearing this, Mother Zhang showed a trace of worry on her face.

Yes! I think the price should be lower. If it keeps dragging on, let alone money, I'm afraid it will cost people... After all, Jing'er is still young. The owner of Baicao Pavilion met an immortal leader a while ago, and now even The Yamen also wants to give him three points, but our family can't afford to offend him.

Father Zhang sighed and then said:

After selling the drug store, I will probably have a little money left after paying off a few neighbors. When Jing'er comes back, our family of three will leave Yong'an and not go through this muddy water. Hey, with my ability as a husband, I will definitely I can’t make you two hungry.”

...

...

same moment.

Separated by two walls.

On the table, the lights flickered and wisps of black smoke came out.

'In the eighteenth year of Nanli Wanxing, a Taoist named Mingyou passed through Qingmu County in Yuanzhou. Feeling the difficulty of traveling for the people, he used a flying sword to split the hundred-mile Iron Curtain Mountain, and the natural chasm became a thoroughfare. The people are all grateful, every family has set up a temple to worship, and the incense is endless. ’

‘In the thirty-third year of Zhongyuan, Yinzhou. ’

‘A great demon came out of the Black Mountain with hundreds of beasts, calling himself the Lord of the Black Mountain, and preyed on three thousand households of the people. The three counties were covered with plains, and every family's parents wailed, and everyone who heard it shed tears. ’

‘When the Immortal Deng of Longhu heard about it, he came across thousands of miles and killed countless demons. The Black Tiger transformed into three black tigers with ten feet, riding on the black wind, raising yellow sand and covering the sky and the sun. Finally defeated, he fled in panic. ’

‘In the third year of Longhua, Yunzhou. ’

‘The ghost kingdom of Yinxiang appeared in the world, swallowing up the two counties of Cangwu and Langya. The people were reduced to blood food, and the bones piled up into mountains. There is a mysterious immortal who rises from the Longhu Taoist Temple in the wind, transforms into a dragon, holds a jade wall in his mouth, and kills hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers in the ghost kingdom. ’

The seventeenth year of Longhua...

...

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

Zhang Jing gently closed the San Wu Xun Zhi Kao which was almost tattered in his hand, took a breath and sighed:

The Immortal Way is magnificent, and demons are everywhere!

It is indeed a bit dangerous to be a mortal in this world. One day, Bao Buqi suffered an inexplicable disaster. He was lightly mentioned by one or two sentences in the book such as 'people died' and 'became blood food'. I can’t even remember my name.”

All lives are like ants, no one can control them at all! If you want to jump out——

Zhang Jing quietly clenched his fists.

Only the immortal way!

What's more, since we have traveled to this big world where immortals and gods exist, and the road to immortality is right in front of us, how can we be willing to be ordinary people? This trip to Longhu Taoist Temple is an opportunity!

That's right!

Zhang Jing is an ordinary time traveler. The Longhu Taoist Temple he is going to is the 'Longhu Taoist Temple' in Xunxianzhikao.

Xunxianzhikao records a total of thirteen immortal legends before and after, and nine of them are related to Longhu Taoist Temple.

Zhang Jing knew what this meant with his feet.

It is precisely because of this that the entrance examination of Longhu Taoist Academy is also known as the Leaping Dragon Gate. Only the top geniuses from various states and counties are eligible to participate.

The difficulty and fierce competition are beyond imagination.

Logically speaking, with Zhang Jing's family background and qualifications, there was no hope.

but......

Zhang Jingshen took a deep breath.

Fortunately, there is still a jade talisman!

The next moment, he closed his eyes and looked directly at a square jade talisman in front of him that seemed real and illusory.

The jade talisman traveled through time with him.

The specific origin is unknown, and Zhang Jing does not want to delve into it for the time being.

He focused his attention on the front of the jade talisman. The two lines of golden simple characters at the top shone with a faint light.

[Three Books and Six Classics·Level 9 (9997/10000)]

[Skill characteristics: Smart ears (Mortal), Bright eyesight (Mortal), Meditation (Mortal)]

Three Books and Six Classics refers to the nine classics taught by Fuzi at Yong'an Academy.

Zhang Jingneng stood out from thousands of students at Yong'an Academy and qualified for the Longhu Taoist Academy's assessment. He relied most on this jade talisman, which was similar to a proficiency panel.

There are still 3 points of experience left, so I won't sleep tonight and try to maximize my proficiency... I don't know what the effect will be at level 10?

Perhaps there will be new skill special effects? A trace of longing flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

Previously, when the [Three Books and Six Classics] skill level reached level 1, level 4, and level 7, the three special effects of hearing, improving eyesight, and meditating appeared respectively.

With the blessing of these three skill special effects, Zhang Jing barely stepped into the category of genius.

If another special effect appears at level 10, then I will be more certain of passing the assessment during this trip to Longhu Taoist Temple.

Think of this.

Zhang Jingping calmed down for a moment, then opened the book Yan Zhi Zhi in front of him, and his mind gradually sank into it.

Time passes little by little.

On top of the jade talisman.

The small golden characters dance silently.
