The little girl tugged at Yu Yun Jun and said softly, "Aunt, you didn't make the wrong choice this time. I didn't expect my junior brother to be so kind. It seems like Holy Jail Sect is a bunch of bad guys. They forced my junior brother to kill so many people."
Even before Pei Zi Yun had officially joined the sect, the little girl was already protecting him like he was her junior brother.
Yu Yun Jun sighed and looked at Pei Zi Yun.
Over the past few days, he had been collecting information on Pei Zi Yun. He was extremely talented. For the sake of his childhood sweetheart, he had killed three bandits in one night. After that, he became an Elementary Scholar. He had bribed the Patrol Officer to exterminate the Black Wind Bandits. After that, he had passed the state examinations and returned to kill Li Wen Jing. Today, he had killed Zhang Jie Yu in the village.
Even though Pei Zi Yun was secretive and had no evidence, as long as there was a result, it would be easy to find out the truth. There was no way to hide it.
"To kill so decisively and treat those who owe him so well, who knows if he's just putting on an act." Yu Yun Jun pinched the little girl, "You're smart."
"Hehe." The little girl retracted her neck, she had pinched it.
"Master, shall we head straight to the prefecture then?" Pei Zi Yun asked.
"Let's go, there's a boat waiting for us." Yu Yun Jun raised her hands and touched the dewy branches. She then said, "Last night at your house, it wasn't easy to scout. Let me see how many stages you've cultivated."
"Master, please scout." Yu Yun Jun glanced at him and nodded her head gently. She then placed her hand on Pei Zi Yun's forehead and felt a glow of light. Her expression changed as she said, "You've already reached the fifth level. This is the inner strength of your body."
Pei Zi Yun's eyebrows twitched as his eyes revealed a look of happiness. He then asked, "I'd like to hear the details."
Although he knew, he shouldn't know. Hence, he had to ask.
Yu Yun Jun raised her head and smiled, "A cultivator's physique is the most important. The first and second stages are health, and the third and fourth stages are inner breathing."
"This is the mortal stage. Even martial artists can reach this stage."
"But the internal organs are different. The internal organs are very delicate, and it is very difficult to cleanse the marrow and bones. If there is a mistake, there will be hidden dangers. I was shocked when I saw you enter the internal organs and was afraid that there would be hidden dangers. But when I continued to examine, I found that there were no mistakes. How did you cultivate?"
What she meant was that although there was an oral formula, how could there be no mistakes in the specific operation of cultivation?
If it weren't for the fact that he had a clean background, and that he had been under Zhao Ning's watch for so many years, she wouldn't have believed it. She then heard Pei Zi Yun reply, "Master, I don't know either. Let's just follow the chant."
Yu Yunjun was speechless for a moment. Was this what it meant to be a genius?
After a long time, he continued, "No matter what, inner strength is a threshold. It is the key to reaching Human Immortal. One could say that once this threshold is broken, Human Immortal is just accumulation."
He then explained in detail, "Internal strengthening can strengthen the internal organs of the body and extend one's lifespan. Once the internal strengthening is complete, one will naturally enter the seventh or eighth stage and be able to develop great strength."
"At the ninetieth stage, one will be able to control this strength. It can be both hard and soft, with fire and water complementing each other. At that point, one will be able to live up to 120 years and become a Human Immortal!"
"At the tenth stage, one will be able to open the gates of heaven and enter Dao. He will then become a Yin Master and be known as a Dao Master."
Yu Yunjun then paused, "Since you've already entered the internal strengthening stage, the first step is already half done. I've saved myself a lot of effort. As for opening the gates of heaven, let's talk about that in the future."
"Yes!"
The both of them then boarded the oxcart. Since they were walking side by side, they could still talk. Yu Yunjun then said, "Your cultivation is pure. When we reach the monastery, your senior uncle will be very happy to see you."
Pei Zi Yun smiled. He had experience from his previous life, and yet his cultivation wasn't pure. That was a joke.
As soon as she finished speaking, the both of them quietened down. They could hear the wind and rain howling through the skies. Pei Zi Yun felt a tinge of bitterness and happiness in his heart. This time, he had entered Free Cloud Sect five years earlier. Everything was different now.
The both of them were speechless as the oxcart driver hurried on his way. Only the little girl kept asking questions here and there without stopping. From time to time, she would grab hold of Pei Zi Yun and ask him questions.
The little girl, Senior Sister Chu Xia, had experienced this in his previous life. Pei Zi Yun could only smile bitterly and deal with her. The entire journey was a long one. When they reached the shore, they boarded a boat and headed straight for the prefecture city.
Prefecture City, Green Cloud Monastery
Green Cloud Monastery was situated on the west side of Lake Mo, and was directly opposite North Temple. Pei Zi Yun and the rest rushed to the monastery. The sky had just turned bright, and the nearby houses were already lit up. Some of the fishing boats were already out.
As they neared, they noticed that there were already Daoists chanting and doing their homework.
"Red Vermillion Mouth Deity, Expelling Filth, Righteous Tongue Deity, Nourishing the Spirit, Cleansing the Spirit, Cleansing the Spirit, Cleansing the Spirit, Cleansing the Spirit!"
As Pei Zi Yun walked, he heard this familiar chant. Yu Yunjun then laughed, "This is a morning lesson. Within the Dao Sect, the inner disciples do not come out. The outer disciples all have their own tasks. These Daoists are not even considered disciples. They are only here to clean up the place."
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head. Indeed, the sound of a bell could be heard, carrying with it a deep and melancholic tone.
Green Cloud Monastery was situated in the north, facing south. There were three paths in the middle, left and right, as well as a rear courtyard. In front of the monastery were two hundred year old trees. It would take two people to wrap their arms around them. The treetops were over ten meters tall, and cast a huge shadow over the monastery. Many worshippers were entering and exiting the monastery.
As he entered the monastery, he sighed. Although the original owner had seen it before, this was his first time. He could only see that the main hall was grand and majestic. It was surrounded by pine and cypress trees. On the left and right side of the hall were pavilions and pavilions.
Although it was still early, there were already worshippers offering incense.
Yu Yunjun followed behind the little girl Chu Xia. Chu Xia's eyes were wide open, and nobody knew what she was thinking.
As the three of them walked, Yu Yunjun introduced the monastery to Pei Zi Yun, "This monastery was built in the previous dynasty, and has been around for over three hundred years. Pei Zi Yun, as a Daoist, one should not be obsessed with riches and riches. Do you know the purpose of this monastery?"
Pei Zi Yun had stayed in Green Cloud Monastery before in his previous life, and thus knew the answer. At this point, he only said a part of it, "Master, this monastery is the source of riches and companions. Only these two things can support Free Cloud Sect."
"Aunt, it's not like you don't know how intelligent my junior brother is. He became a Top Scorer at the age of fifteen, and has even grown taller." The little girl Chu Xia rolled her eyes at her aunt.
"That's right. Green Cloud Monastery is the exterior of Free Cloud Sect. The outer sect disciples all start their training here. It is also an important source of riches and riches. As a Daoist, although we should not be obsessed with riches and riches, riches and riches are essential."
As she spoke, they reached the front hall. There were many statues standing around. Yu Yunjun was about to speak when the little girl Chu Xia interrupted, "I know about this. Junior brother, let me tell you. The statues in the front hall are all immortal officials. Below the steps is the Altar of Merit and Virtue. Oh, it's also called the Icy Forest Altar."
"Devotees pray for blessings and blessings in the front hall. It's said that it's very effective. However, that's only for ordinary people." The little girl Chu Xia was like a little bird as she spoke. Yu Yunjun looked at her dotingly.
Pei Zi Yun was very familiar with this. The original owner had a deep memory of this.
"The middle hall is for the two Dao Monarchs."
"The back hall is for the Patriarchs of the sect."
There were outer sect disciples living in the back hall. Pei Zi Yun's memories of coming to the monastery surfaced clearly in front of his eyes.
"I'm here." Pei Zi Yun walked in and saw that the entire courtyard was made of bricks. The ginkgo trees were so thick that one could hug one's arms. Everything was so familiar. At this point, a middle aged Daoist walked out. He had a scholarly air about him. Pei Zi Yun looked at him and saw that it was Zhao Ning. He hurriedly bowed, "Student pays his respects to mister."
"Good, good, Pei Zi Yun. Back then, I asked my senior brother to leave a chant for you. You didn't disappoint me. Not only have you mastered it, you've also become an Elementary Scholar and a Top Scorer. You're indeed my student." Zhao Ning walked out and greeted Pei Zi Yun.
Yu Yunjun laughed, "Alright, senior brother Zhao, let's go in and talk. Today, I've brought Pei Zi Yun into the sect. I've already accepted him as my disciple. Now that he's your junior disciple, don't you think you should prepare some gifts for him?"
"Greetings Senior Aunt. It's been a long time since we've met. You've become even more handsome."
Zhao Ning saw that it was the little girl Chu Xia who had spoken and laughed, "Someone who is unaccountably solicitous must be hiding evil intentions. Little Chu Xia, what have you taken a fancy to this Senior Uncle of yours?"
After laughing, he then said, "You've sent a letter back. The monastery has long been prepared. The people who should be here are already here."
As he spoke, two young men walked towards him.
The first was his senior brother, Song Zhi. The other was a young master. He was tall and slender, dressed in light robes. His steps were calm and collected. The aura of a young master was much stronger than that of a Daoist.
Pei Zi Yun recognized him. He was the third young master of Ji Bei Hou.
Seeing Song Zhi, Pei Zi Yun's heart was filled with anger.
"Greetings Senior Uncle, Senior Aunt and Junior Sister." Song Zhi bowed respectfully.
"This is your senior brother, Song Zhi, and senior brother Wei Ang." Zhao Ning introduced them. Hearing this, Pei Zi Yun froze as he looked at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi had introduced him as a senior brother. At this point, Song Zhi was already the senior brother of the outer sect. Was he already the successor?
Song Zhi didn't know what Pei Zi Yun was thinking. After exchanging greetings, he turned around and spoke to Zhao Ning, "Senior Uncle Zhao, the preparations for the entrance ceremony are complete. All junior brother needs to do is take a bath and we can proceed."
Zhao Ning laughed, "Since the preparations are complete, and you're the senior brother, bring the new junior brother to take a bath and change into his Daoist robes. Your senior uncle and I shall wait in the main hall."
"Yes!" The both of them bowed their heads. Song Zhi led the way and led Pei Zi Yun into the backyard. Hot water had already been prepared, and a new set of Daoist robes was laid out beside him.
Pei Zi Yun took a bath and changed his clothes. When he came out, Song Zhi, who was guarding outside, praised, "What a handsome Daoist."
He led him to the back of the hall and saw Yu Yun Jun sitting in the middle. Chu Xia had changed into a new set of Daoist robes as well. When she saw Pei Zi Yun walking over, she winked at him.
"First bow to Dao Monarch."
"Second bow to Patriarch."
"Third bow to Master."
The ceremony was simple and very solemn. Yu Yun Jun sat upright and accepted the greetings. She then said, "Bow to Senior Uncle."
Pei Zi Yun stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple Pei Zi Yun pays his respects to Senior Uncle."
Zhao Ning stroked his beard and smiled before nodding his head. He then stretched out his hand to help Pei Zi Yun up, "There's no need for formalities. Get up. Congratulations to junior sister for accepting a good disciple today. I've prepared a small gift for you."
Zhao Ning said as he received a box from a Daoist disciple. He then retrieved a sword and handed it over, "This is a small gift from Senior Uncle."
"Thank you Senior Uncle."
The little girl Chu Xia pouted her lips. Yu Yun Jun smiled and said, "Come over here, I'll give you a Dao manual and a Dao manual. Keep it well. This Dao manual is called Free Cloud Guiyuan Manual – Part One. There are twenty-three different types of Dao manuals. However, cultivating Dao is still dependent on fate. Even if a hundred people practice it, there might not be a single person who is compatible with it. How many types of Dao manuals one can master, and how far one can go, will depend on your luck."
"Thank you Master!" Pei Zi Yun received the manual and felt himself being knocked into. All of a sudden, a sparrow appeared in front of him. It had a white body and a red beak, as it wailed and flew away.
Pei Zi Yun didn't even have the time to be surprised when a white Plum Blossom appeared in front of him, emitting a faint glow.
"Now that I've completed this mission, I wonder how much I'll gain from it?" Pei Zi Yun's eyes were filled with passion.
"After the ceremony, you're a disciple of our sect. I hope you'll continue to practice Dao, and never slack off." Zhao Ning said.
Pei Zi Yun replied, "I'll remember Senior Uncle's teachings."
