Free and Easy Wandering

The moonlight shone down, covering the valley above Rising Tide Valley with a layer of silvery white.

In the past, at this time of year, Rising Tide Valley would be filled with the sounds of birds and the roars of animals.

But today it was unusually quiet.

All the beasts around Rising Tide Valley gathered around Fang Zelin at this moment.

If it weren't for his respect for Fang Zelin, Fang Zelin would probably be packed in right now.

At this moment, all the disciples of Rising Tide Valley gathered around Fang Zelin, listening quietly to Fang Zelin sermon.

Fang Zelin only stopped when the sun rose slightly in the distance the next day, and a ray of morning light illuminated the sky.

At this moment, the people around Fang Zelin, as well as the group of fish, remained standing still.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin knew that the person was in the midst of enlightenment, so he didn't intend to disturb them and quietly left.

The moment Fang Zelin moved, he saw Yunzi appear in front of him.

Judging from this, it seems that Yunzi was waiting on the side.

"Fellow Daoist's sermon is truly extraordinary. Not only have all the disciples come to listen, but even the beasts and fish from all around have come."

Yunzi could sense at that moment how many schools of fish were below the surface of the sea.

These people were drawn to the place because of Fang Zelin's sermons.

Thinking back to the unusual commotions around them when Fang Zelin was giving his sermon, Yunzi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The Fellow Daoist Fang before me is truly formidable.

Just by preaching, so many beasts came to listen.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin turned to look at the school of fish below, then smiled slightly and shook his head.

"The principles I just described may not apply to sea creatures. If they were to hear a ' Free and Easy Wandering, it might directly awaken their intelligence."

"Free and Easy Wandering?"

This was the first time Yunzi had heard such a name. Upon hearing it, she was taken aback, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Is this 'Free and Easy Free and Easy Wandering' so wondrous that Fellow Daoist Fang could say that once this chapter is published, it can directly awaken the intelligence of the sea race?"

Based on what Fang Zelin had just said, Yunzi could understand some of the meaning behind it.

Generally speaking, even if Fang Zelin has just given a sermon, and the sermon he spoke of was something she had already heard, she would still gain a lot of insights.

Even so, it cannot be guaranteed that everyone around, or even the beasts, will immediately gain sentience upon hearing this.

Fang Zelin's sermon was a tremendous fortuitous opportunity for these beasts, but it didn't mean that all of them would embark on the path of cultivation after listening to it.

Ultimately, it also depends on each person's comprehension and aptitude.

If you don't understand anything after listening, you've simply wasted this opportunity.

As Fellow Daoist Fang just said, the sea creatures were able to gain sentience after hearing it. How many extraordinary Daoist scriptures would it take to achieve this?

That's why Yunzi was so shocked after hearing this.

"It's only a possibility."

Fang Zelin thought for a moment, then realized that he had spoken too definitively, so he quickly added a sentence.

Yunzi smiled upon hearing this, but in her heart she felt...

What Fellow Daoist Fang just said must be true.

That Daoist classic called "Free and Easy Wandering" must be extraordinary, which is why Fellow Daoist Fang would say such a thing.

However, she was not a member of the sea tribe, and therefore did not have such a strong desire for this Free and Easy Wandering.

She immediately stopped thinking about it and gestured for Fang Zelin to follow her.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin followed suit.

Just after the two of them left, a huge fish emerged from the sea in the distance.

The fish looked up with its huge eyes and gently flicked its tail.

Huge waves suddenly surged up on the once calm sea surface.

"Free and Easy Wandering? What kind of Daoist scripture is this that would make this immortal make such a boast?"

The fish in front of me has long been intelligent and has been wandering around the sea for years.

Several years ago, it came to this place by chance and could vaguely sense the Spiritual Power constantly emerging from the valley.

It was only after repeated observations that this was discovered.

This valley is actually the site of a celestial sect!

Within the immortal sects, there are only those who cultivate immortality!

Having already found cultivation extremely difficult, it immediately immersed itself in its surroundings.

All this is so that one day I might get some fortuitous opportunity and some guidance.

So that I can continue my spiritual practice.

After staying here for several years, it heard a celestial being preaching above last night.

The sermon captivated it, drawing it completely into the sermon.

The barrier that I had been vaguely sensing I was about to reach was becoming increasingly clear at this moment.

Just as it felt it was about to touch it, the celestial being stopped preaching and vanished.

This feeling of being neither here nor there caused it to become somewhat restless in an instant.

Before it could think further, it heard what that fellow Daoist said next.

This piqued its interest once again.

It is possible to awaken the intelligence of the sea creatures with just one Daoist scripture.

Since this sea creature has already developed intelligence, can it obtain other benefits?

Based on what it had heard tonight, it felt that this immortal was extraordinary.

As the other party just said, the methods discussed tonight are not suitable for the sea race.

Even if it's not suitable, it still evokes many feelings.

What would the applicable Daoist scriptures look like?

The more it thought about it, the more restless it felt inside.

"No, we must persuade this immortal to recite this 'Free and Easy Free and Easy Wandering '!"

After thinking it over, it gritted its teeth and made a decision in secret.

However, with its meager cultivation level, it probably wouldn't be able to persuade this immortal.

After much thought, the only option left was to find another way.

The enormous fish body moved slightly, briefly emerging above the surface of the sea before disappearing back beneath it.

The huge waves then dispersed in all directions, and this was evident even from these small waves.

Just how big was that fish?

"I never expected the vegetarian food at Rising Tide Valley to be so delicious."

Fang Zelin and Yunzi sat facing each other, eating the vegetarian meal the other had just prepared, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Over the years, besides cultivating my skills, I've also learned a bit about cooking. Years ago, I heard from disciples who had returned from down the mountain that many skilled chefs had emerged from there, so I took the opportunity to see for myself."

"When I went there, the food was indeed extremely delicious, and the cooking technique was unique, so I also learned some cooking skills."

Yunzi was telling the truth.

Over the years, many of the people who came from the other side of the earth have developed a deep passion for food.

Under these circumstances, it developed rapidly.

After exploring the ingredients here thoroughly, they invented many other cuisines.

Furthermore, with the development of the Great Qian, it has now become the first dynasty and has deep connections with other dynasties.

Under these circumstances, culinary skills in various regions began to develop in the direction of the Great Qian Dynasty.

After the disciples from Rising Tide Valley descended the mountain, in addition to their usual worldly experiences, they were also drawn to the culinary skills of the outside world.

However, once back in the mountains, they usually stay there to cultivate themselves and cannot go out all the time.

Besides, I often went out to eat at those restaurants, so I didn't have that much money.

As a result, some disciples learned some culinary skills and returned with them.

Over time, and given that he was a cultivator, he became adept at controlling the heat, knife skills, and seasonings.

Basically, disciples who know even a little bit about cooking have already reached a level of culinary skill that is truly superb.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but praise it, and then began to eat heartily without any hesitation.

Although it wasn't a delicacy made by any magical creature, its merit lay in the fact that the cooking time and other aspects were perfectly controlled.

Therefore, the color, aroma, and taste are exactly the same.

Hearing Fang Zelin's praise, Yunzi's eyes curved slightly, like a crescent moon, which was quite beautiful.

"By the way, have any people from overseas come here seeking immortality over the years?"

I forgot to ask this question when I was at Jade Void Mountain.

However, no overseas disciples were seen within the Jade Void Mountain.

Now that I've thought of it, I might as well ask.

"People from overseas?"

Yunzi didn't know why Fang Zelin would ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"Speaking of which, yes, there is such a thing. Some disciples went down the mountain for training, and I heard about it from other disciples who came back."

"It is said that many people from overseas are constantly seeking out immortal sects at the foot of the mountain, hoping to learn immortal arts. Originally, this was not a big deal. Some people in the mortal world accidentally glimpse traces of immortality, or they want to achieve immortality. Such seeking of immortals is common."

"Occasionally, some mortals will wander into the immortal gate. But those who are unable to enter the immortal gate but have a connection to it will be given a little benefit to make them forget some of their memories before being sent back."

"But those people from overseas, according to the disciples who have returned, seem to be trying to use immortal techniques to achieve their own selfish desires."

Yunzi shook her head repeatedly as she spoke of this.

The reason the returning disciples brought this up was because all the overseas seekers they encountered who were searching for immortal sects had the same purpose.

He wanted to learn immortal arts so he could have multiple wives and concubines, seize other people's property, and use them to ascend to the throne.

Even more extreme, some aspired to sail across the ocean and defeat other dynasties.

The rise and fall of dynasties is a normal occurrence for immortal sects, and no one from an immortal sect would forcibly stop it.

However, if one were to use Immortal Method to achieve this goal, that would be intolerable.

The disciples who had returned from the mountain all mentioned this, which made the various immortal sects of Rising Tide Valley more wary of these people from overseas.

From the perspective of those in the immortal sects, these people seeking immortality are of such poor character that if they were to misjudge one of them and let one of them into their sect, it would be a disaster.

The entire Daoist Daoist Sect will lose face because of this one person.

"So you also know about this, fellow Daoist."

Upon realizing that the other party knew about it, Fang Zelin immediately felt relieved.

Daoist Sect practitioners learned of these individuals' treacherous intentions, they would never allow them to join their sect.

This would not be the case for any Daoist Sect.

"When I was traveling around back then, I heard about this, and at the time I thought that someone of such character could never be accepted into the Daoist Sect."

Upon hearing this, Yunzi smiled and said, "The Daoist Sect's examination of character is naturally not so easily fooled, so you can rest assured, fellow Daoist."

Fang Zelin did not refute this.

Of all the fellow Daoists he has encountered over the years, not one of them has ever been morally deficient.

In this respect, Fang Zelin believed what the other party said.

With that matter over, Fang Zelin changed the subject and started talking to the other person about other matters related to cultivation.

Fang Zelin recounted some interesting stories from his travels, and how fragrant and mellow the Daughter Red wine he drank back then was.

When he went back later, the village was still there, but the family that had become wealthy had moved away from the village.

This also meant that when Fang Zelin went to look for it again, he didn't find any more Daughter's Red wine.

However, even if you find it, you might not actually be able to drink it.

After all, that daughter's red wine was only dug up when the daughter got married, and some was distributed to the in-laws.

When Fang Zelin went there, there was no happy occasion, so he couldn't get a drink.

Then came amusing tales of female ghosts climbing up to their husbands' places to steal offerings.

Yunzi sat quietly to the side, listening, but her eyes kept glancing at Fang Zelin's face.

When Fang Zelin looked over, he quickly moved away.

When Fang Zelin wasn't paying attention, she would secretly glance at him for a moment, her eyes filled with Fang Zelin image.

By the time the meal was over, the sun had already risen above the valley.

The disciples in the distance remained seated amidst the clouds, seemingly still asleep.

Judging from the current situation, it will probably take several days for these disciples to wake up.

Yunzi was naturally very happy to see this.

Enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance, not sought.

The longer the time spent in enlightenment, the better.

These disciples were all from the Rising Tide Valley sect, and as the sect leader, she was naturally pleased that her disciples' cultivation levels had greatly improved.

"If you, fellow Daoist, could give more lectures, my disciples would undoubtedly see a great increase in their cultivation!"

Thinking of this, Yunzi couldn't help but say something.

Fang Zelin smiled helplessly upon hearing this, "That would require me to have the ability. The principles I discussed yesterday are what I have come to understand over the years."

"If I were to say anything more, I'm afraid there's nothing more to say."

Fang Zelin was telling the truth.

The reason his sermon was so captivating this time was entirely due to the accumulation of knowledge and experience Fang Zelin had accumulated over hundreds of years.

It was during these hundreds of years that he comprehended the Divine Ability of the Dharma Form Heaven and Earth and Heaven.

It was only because he possessed such Divine Ability understanding that Fang Zelin was so powerful during his sermon.

Yunzi smiled slightly upon hearing Fang Zelin's words, but her eyes remained fixed on Fang Zelin.

She didn't really believe Fang Zelin's words, taking it as just Fang Zelin being modest.

In her view, Fang Zelin's sermon this time did not include the previous sermons.

If Fellow Daoist Fang wishes to preach, he naturally has other things to say; I suppose this is just him being modest.
