Chapter 001: Ascending the Mountain to Seek a Master

After a moment, Yun Xianzi came out and informed Zhang Xiaofeng that he could go in to meet the Master, then bid farewell and descended the mountain

A young man dressed as a Taoist shouted: "Who goes there, daring to laugh outside the Immortal Gate? Quickly state your name. In front of my Longzhong Immortal Gate, one must not laugh recklessly. Silence, silence."

Amidst the swirling winds and misty seas, an ethereal aura envelops the surroundings

Hahaha, today, I, Zhang Xiaofeng, have finally stepped into the realm of cultivation. In the future, I will bring glory to my ancestors, and it is just around the corner, indeed, it is!" Zhang Xiaofeng shouted loudly

The young man suddenly burst into laughter

Regarding the use of wealth to gain influence, Zhang Xiaofeng feels no sorrow whatsoever. In his view, once he achieves success in his studies, gold and silver treasures will be easily within reach. His forebears embraced beautiful women; if he were to possess great powers in the future, would not all the beauties of the world come to him, seeking his embrace and sharing their knowledge?

The person in front of the hall, while observing Zhang Xiaofeng, also took a moment to assess him. This young man had average bone structure and was extremely frail. Having gained high profits in the mortal realm and agreeing to take on disciples, he found himself at a loss due to the limitations of his resources. As a result, he made an exception and provided a way out, yet this young man truly did not know how to handle the situation. Should he be sent to fetch water and chop wood? Did he possess the capability for that? Should he be sent for cultivation? Would the sect accept him? After much contemplation, he said:

What does it matter to look at the mountain gate? Observing the extraordinary demeanor of the senior, it is certain that he will have a boundless future. Is it not said that when heaven is about to confer a great responsibility, it must first temper one's mind and bones? Today, by looking at the mountain gate, one will surely soar like a cloud and crane in the future, " said Zhang Xiaofeng.

There is, there is! Immortal, please take a look. Zhang Xiaofeng quickly ran over and handed a red notification letter to the middle-aged Taoist priest. As he delivered the notification letter, a silver ingot weighing ten taels was also submitted, landing in the hands of the young Taoist priest.

Well, Zhang Xiaofeng, due to your commendable sincerity and your inclination towards cultivation, starting today, you shall go to the back mountain to learn the way of the Dao

Just as Zhang Xiaofeng was indulging in a lewd laugh, she was interrupted by a shout.

Zhang Xiaofeng entered the grand hall, which, despite its spaciousness and grandeur, lacked a lively atmosphere; at this moment, the hall appeared quite desolate. At the front of the hall, there sat an elderly Taoist priest, frail and decrepit, with white hair and beard, lacking the ethereal demeanor typically associated with immortals. However, Zhang Xiaofeng understood that a person of such caliber must have returned to simplicity; no matter how plain their exterior, it could not conceal the aura of a master. Just from those deep-set eyes, it was evident that the person before him was formidable, and indeed, exceptionally so.

Zhang Xiaofeng has traveled across the vast expanse of the country since childhood, following in the footsteps of his ancestors and encountering countless people, allowing him to discern certain superficial aspects. Thus, upon entering the hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "I pay my respects to the true master. I am Zhang Xiaofeng from Qingyun City, here today to seek apprenticeship."

"Alright, alright, I will take you to meet your master now," said the young man

It is said that the Longzhong Sect of the cultivation world is established within Longzhong Mountain, which rises to an altitude of 9,000 meters. Indeed, one cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, only because one is situated within this mountain

Upon seeing Zhang Xiaofeng, a Daoist from the Longzhong Sect, he quickly bowed and said: "Esteemed immortal, with your ethereal demeanor and Daoist bearing, it is evident that you are not an ordinary person. I am a resident of Qingyun City, mhetushu.com, and I have come today to pay my respects and learn from you."

Zhang Xiaofeng, the young master of the Zhang family in Qingyun City at the foot of Longzhong Mountain, is sixteen years old and the sole heir of the Zhang family. The Zhang family is renowned, with generations engaged in commerce, amassing a vast fortune. However, the only heir, Zhang Xiaofeng, is exceptionally intelligent but has no interest in pursuing the path of business. Although his parents have their regrets, they still fulfill Zhang Xiaofeng's wishes by spending an enormous amount of money to bribe a Taoist priest on Longzhong Mountain, allowing Zhang Xiaofeng to ascend the mountain to learn the way.

Then I must trouble you, Brother Yunxian," said Zhang Xiaofeng. On the way here, he had already learned that this young man was named Yunxian, a disciple of the Yun lineage, and also the lowest-ranking disciple of the Longzhong sect within the Yun lineage.

"Xiao Feng, please wait here for a moment while I go to report to the master," said the young man

Hehe, truly a young talent! Don't call me any kind of immortal; I am merely a disciple guarding the mountain gate. " As he spoke, he casually took the silver ingot.

At this moment, in front of the main gate of the Longzhong Sect, a young man is gazing up at the nameplate of the sect's mountain gate. The two characters "Longzhong" appear as if they were naturally formed, with two stone dragons coiling around them on either side, creating an imposing presence.

The young Taoist, flattered by a compliment from Zhang Xiaofeng, immediately perked up, shedding his previous seriousness. With a slightly more amiable tone, he said: "So it turns out you are here to learn the craft. May I ask if you have a notification letter?"

After much effort, the two arrived at the Longzhong Hall. The Longzhong Hall is the main hall of the Longzhong Sect and the most solemn place of the sect. Inside, the furnishings are magnificent and the displays are opulent, representing the strength of the Longzhong Sect
