The old Daoist priest spoke, but the distance was too great, and the Daoist Sect disciples on the high ground did not hear his voice at all.
And even if they heard it, they probably wouldn't care.
Having come down from the mountain, they didn't really want to get involved with anyone in the imperial court.
During their previous training, they learned that people in the imperial court were searching everywhere for members of immortal sects, hoping to obtain the secret to immortality.
Seeing that the immortal above had no intention of stopping, the old Daoist priest became anxious.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly grabbed the bow and arrows beside him and hurriedly put a talisman on the arrow.
After smearing the talisman with blood from his fingertip, he quickly shot it upwards.
The arrow flew swiftly overhead, and then the talisman, once activated, burst into a fireball.
The fireball carried a faint fluctuation of Law Power.
Although extremely faint, it still attracted the attention of the disciples of the various Daoist Sect sects.
"And there's a fluctuation of Law Power. Is some demon still clinging to life, trying to escape?"
The great battle had just ended, and the disciples had not yet completely let their guard down.
Therefore, they immediately sensed the faint Law Power not far away.
But when the disciples quickly turned their heads to look, they were slightly taken aback.
Although there was some distance between them, it was still clear that it was a talisman, and that it had been brought up by an arrow.
"It doesn't seem to be a demon?"
Upon closer inspection, it certainly didn't seem to be any kind of demon or monster, and the talisman on the arrow seemed to be a technique from the Ancient Cloud Temple?
"Let's go and see."
The disciple standing nearby glanced at it and then made a decision.
The other disciples nodded slightly upon hearing this, but not all of them went.
"Fellow Daoist Yunxi, why don't you take a few fellow Daoists and go take a look?"
Yunxi nodded slightly, "Yes, Senior Brother."
After saying this, he invited several fellow disciples and they flew together towards the city wall ahead.
After a short while, they landed at the same height as the city wall, and their eyes quickly locked onto the old Daoist priest in his robe.
"Immortal Master!"
The old Daoist priest was overjoyed to see the fairy-like woman approaching.
He almost thought he wouldn't be able to keep the other person.
Fortunately, the other side still flew over.
With this thought in mind, the old Daoist priest was filled with joy.
"Who are you? You seem to have learned some of the Ancient Cloud Temple?"
"Judging from your appearance, you are not a disciple undergoing training at the Ancient Cloud Temple."
Yunxi opened her divine eye and saw right through him.
Seeing that the old Daoist priest actually had some traces of Daoist magic on him, he couldn't help but ask with some doubt.
Before a disciple from a sect goes down the mountain for training, Daoist Sect mark is placed on their body so that other Daoist Sect disciples can recognize them.
But the old Daoist priest in front of me doesn't have such a mark.
Furthermore, the other party's behavior, referring to himself as an immortal, makes it quite obvious.
This person is not a disciple of the Daoist Sect.
The old Daoist priest understood the question in Yunxi's words and dared not hide it at this moment.
He quickly replied, "Reporting to you, Immortal, this old Daoist is not a disciple of the Ancient Cloud Temple. I only learned this minor technique by chance after finding an ancient book."
"Today I have the honor of meeting you all, and I hope to receive your guidance so that I may enter the immortal realm."
After saying this, the old Daoist bowed from afar, about to kneel down in worship towards Yunxi.
Seeing this, Yunxi pointed with her index finger, indicating that there was no such rule as kneeling in the Daoist Sect.
Kneeling is something done when one becomes an apprentice; if one accepts this bow now, it may be difficult to explain later.
Given her current level of skill and age, it's not impossible for her to take on disciples.
But the key point is the character of this apprentice.
Yunxi pointed a finger, severing the old Daoist's kneeling bow.
The old Daoist priest was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, then his expression became even more respectful.
"Could I take a look at that ancient book?"
Yunxi didn't waste any words and inquired about the ancient books.
Seeing this, the old Daoist priest quickly took out an ancient book and handed it to Yunxi with both hands.
Yunxi took the book, carefully flipped through it, nodded, and then returned it.
His eyes swept over the old man and the young man in front of him, and he pondered for a moment.
Seeing that Yunxi remained silent, the old Daoist priest and the soldiers beside him were both quite nervous, not daring to even breathe loudly.
After a long while, Yunxi turned to look at her junior brothers and the others beside her.
"Fellow disciples, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
To prevent these people from hearing, Yunxi even used a telepathic technique.
Several of the junior disciples standing nearby hesitated upon hearing this.
But after a moment, he quickly spoke up, "Senior Sister, although this person has not formally joined our Daoist Sect, he was able to hold this place when demons came."
"Such character is no different from that of my Daoist Sect disciples."
"Moreover, this person's cultivation is meager, yet he can still do this, which shows his dedication to upholding the Way."
The disciple on the left thought for a moment and decided that it wasn't impossible to guide this old Daoist priest into the Daoist Sect.
"We cannot draw conclusions about this matter so easily. If the intention is to guard this place to slay demons and monsters, then the soldiers here are also guarding this place. To make a judgment based solely on this point is somewhat inappropriate."
In my opinion, we still need to observe further.
Upon hearing this, another disciple immediately spoke up.
He felt it was too early to judge this person based on this incident.
In any case, we should try to understand them better.
Upon hearing this, the disciples present pondered for a moment before nodding in unison.
Everyone agreed that this statement was correct and that it was indeed worth observing further.
"However, considering that the other party has learned some Law Technique and is able to hold this place without retreating, let's take him back to the mountain gate."
"As for the exact date, we leave it to the senior sect leaders to decide."
"At his age, it's probably too late for him to undergo thirty years of training. Perhaps he could try the 'Heart-Questioning Trial."
The disciples discussed it among themselves and ultimately decided that they could give the other party a chance.
After the discussion was completed, everyone turned to look at the old Daoist priest again.
"Seeing your unwavering resolve to uphold the Dao, I will take you back to the mountain gate for a look. As for whether you can be admitted to the immortal sect, that depends on your own abilities."
The old Daoist priest was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Even after he called out to the other person, he didn't think they would definitely come over; he didn't have much hope for it.
After all, immortals were far too distant in his eyes.
However, to his utter surprise, the immortal was now actually preparing to take him back to the mountain gate.
Thinking of this, the old Daoist priest quickly expressed his gratitude.
This time he learned his lesson.
Since the other party was unwilling to accept his kneeling bow, he then performed a Daoist bow.
Seeing this, Yunxi waved her hand and flew away into the distance with the old Daoist and the young Daoist beside her.
The soldiers throughout the city watched with immense envy as the old man and the young man departed.
An old Daoist priest and a young Daoist monk then left with the immortal.
This is truly a stroke of good fortune!
Now that I've gone back to the mountain with the immortal, I'll surely never go hungry again, right?
At that moment, some soldiers were filled with envy.
Some soldiers, however, felt that the old Daoist priest must have found the secret to immortality.
Unfortunately, all of this has nothing to do with them anymore.
Because the immortal did not take them with him when he left.
Yunxi led the old Daoist priest to the group of fellow disciples and briefly explained the situation.
The other disciples all nodded in agreement, indicating that they could simply take the other person back to the sect.
As for them, they must continue to slay demons and monsters.
Many demons were just killed, but countless demons were left to wreak havoc in the dynasties that had been invaded.
Therefore, they still need to go and exterminate all these demons.
Seeing this, Yunxi agreed and prepared to take the two back and return as soon as possible.
Worried, Yunxi used her escape technique at top speed when she returned.
The old Daoist stood on the clouds, watching the clouds rushing past him, thinking that he would soon arrive at the immortal gate he had longed for for so long.
I felt inexplicably nervous and worried.
After hesitating for a moment, the old Daoist priest finally spoke and asked, "Immortal Master."
"Please don't call me Immortal Master anymore. You can call me Daoist Master. Only Senior Fang deserves such a title."
Yunxi was thinking about her fellow disciples who were going to other dynasties to slay demons and monsters, and she was worried about their safety.
Upon hearing the old Daoist's call, he instinctively uttered a reply.
Just now, I was only thinking about how the other party had learned some Daoist techniques, and I didn't think about anything else.
Now that she sees him and he still calls her that, how can she let him call her that?
If this were to happen inside the mountain gate, and the other fellow cultivators heard it, she would be utterly humiliated.
The old Daoist priest was taken aback by these words.
Is such a title unworthy?
He had seen it all clearly just now; the Divine Ability his opponent displayed during the battle had filled him with longing.
If even such a celestial being cannot bear such a title, then what kind of Senior Fang?
Thinking of this, the Dao Heart Senior Fang he had never met.
"That Daoist priest followed you to that immortal sect, and I just heard that one must rely on their own abilities to have any chance of entering."
"But my knowledge of this minor art is limited, and I'm afraid I'm incapable of handling it."
At this moment, the old Daoist priest expressed his deepest concerns.
In his view, the examinations of the immortal sects must be extremely rigorous.
If he were really asked to undergo such an assessment, he probably wouldn't pass.
Hearing this, Yunxi understood what the other person was thinking.
"Don't worry, the sect's test won't be one you can't pass; they've left you some chance."
Yunxi said something casually, without going into details with the other party.
After all, if you were to tell the other party the details, it would be tantamount to letting them cheat.
The old Daoist priest paused slightly upon hearing this, still harboring some doubt.
Could he truly pass the trials set by the immortal sects?
With this in mind, the old Daoist priest became somewhat anxious and uncertain.
However, soon after, the old Daoist priest felt as if something around him had touched him for a moment.
The next moment, he saw many pavilions and towers appear out of thin air all around him.
The clear chirping of birds, accompanied by the gentle sound of flowing water, drifted over.
Upon closer inspection, one could see countless immortals flying around, and from time to time, one could hear their hearty laughter.
Such a fairyland captivated the old Daoist priest, who was momentarily enthralled by its beauty.
Everything here seemed to resemble the paradise in his heart.
There truly is a fairyland in this world!
The young Daoist boy beside him clung tightly to his master's robes, looking around at the scenery with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
"Master, we've arrived in paradise!"
The boy gripped his master's robe tightly and then whispered.
Hearing this, the old Daoist priest felt a little relieved.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw an immortal flying towards him and quickly shut his mouth.
He didn't know what the rules of this immortal sect were, but he knew that too much talk would lead to mistakes.
At this point, it's best to keep your mouth shut.
"Junior sister, didn't you go with junior brother and the others to slay demons? Why are you back so soon? Did something go wrong?"
"Should we, senior brother, immediately gather the other disciples to provide assistance?"
The disciple who arrived looked at Yunxi in front of him and asked with some concern.
The disciples of the fifth and sixth generations went down the mountain together to slay the demon.
Originally, the disciples from the fifth generation and above also wanted to go along, as they were somewhat worried about their junior brothers and sisters.
The seniors simply wanted these disciples to gain experience and hone their skills.
Given this, it was naturally inappropriate for disciples from the fifth generation upwards to follow.
However, if these junior brothers encounter danger, they can still lend a hand.
"Senior brother, there's no need to worry. I encountered this master and disciple on the road and saw that they had learned some of the Daoist practices of Ancient Cloud Temple. I also saw that they were wholeheartedly dedicated to upholding the Tao, so I brought them back to show the seniors."
"If possible, you should also join my Daoist Sect in the future."
The Daoist Sect disciple in front of him breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this explanation.
After glancing back at the master and disciple, he looked them up and down. Seeing no trace of impurity on them, he nodded slightly.
He doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, so he's probably not a very evil person.
That must be why my junior sister brought him back to the mountain.
"In that case, I won't delay any longer. If you need anything, just let me know. I still have to go refine pills, so I won't linger any longer."
After the cultivator finished speaking, he quickly departed, stepping on golden light.
They truly came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Yunxi watched her senior brother leave, but then she didn't forget her serious business.
Since the other party has learned the techniques of the Ancient Cloud Temple, then let's take them to the Ancient Cloud Temple.
Thinking of this, Yunxi quickly led the other party to the front of the Ancient Cloud Temple.
Fortunately, Senior Zhenke was also watching.
After meeting Senior Zhenke, Yunxi carefully explained the whole story and then stood quietly to the side.
If the two of them couldn't enter the mountain, she would lead them back to where they came from.
This way, it can be considered a complete ending.
Zhenke glanced at the master and disciple, surprised that someone could actually learn such Daoist techniques.
It's probably because the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune great fortune, making it easier to learn Daoist techniques than before.
Thinking this through, he glanced at the old Daoist priest in front of him.
This old Daoist priest is quite old; if he truly wants to enter the Daoist Sect, he can only try the Heart-Questioning Trial.
Speaking of the Heart-Questioning Trial, it was through this Heart-Questioning Trial that she entered the Daoist Sect.
Thinking of this, Zhenke's thoughts drifted back to the days when she and her husband were together.
