When her master took her in, he asked her whether she wanted to go down the mountain to train for thirty years or to Heart-Questioning Trial.
Thirty years of training in the mortal world was far too long for her; it meant she wouldn't be able to see her master again for another thirty years.
So without a second thought, she directly asked to Heart-Questioning Trial.
Fortunately, in the end, she passed the Heart-Questioning Trial.
"At your age, the only thing you can do is try the Heart-Questioning Trial. If you can pass the Heart-Questioning Trial, you will be able to enter the Daoist Sect."
"Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhen Ke looked at the old Daoist priest in front of her and asked a question directly.
Given the other person's age, it's obviously impossible to convince them to spend thirty years experiencing life in the mortal world.
If I really have to say something, then I'll just have to test my Heart-Questioning Trial.
Heart-Questioning Trial...
I had heard a Daoist priest mention this before.
Hearing this now, and knowing it was related to whether he could enter the Daoist Sect, was quite unexpected.
This made the old Daoist priest feel a little uneasy.
Even so, he absolutely could not back down at this moment.
For him, this was the destiny he had earned through his efforts to become a deity.
Now that he has the affinity for immortality, whether he can enter the Daoist Sect is entirely up to him.
Thinking of this, the old Daoist priest no longer hesitated and quickly cupped his hands in a respectful bow.
"Master, I'm willing to give it a try."
Having received Yunxi's reminder earlier, the old Daoist priest no longer addressed him directly as "Immortal Master."
According to the other party, only that Senior Fang deserves the title of "Immortal Master".
Hearing this form of address, Zhen Ke nodded in satisfaction.
With a casual wave of his hand, a magical array appeared to the side.
Within that formation lies the Heart-Questioning Trial.
"Alright, this is the Heart-Questioning Trial. You can go in now."
After doing all this, Zhen Ke clapped her hands and said something.
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest hesitated for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Master, my disciple is of decent character. However, during the battle against the demon, I saw that he was no match for the demon."
"I originally told my disciple to leave on his own, but he is willing to die with me. I hope you, Daoist, can also give my disciple a chance."
The old Daoist knew that his request might make the other party think he was greedy.
But in the end, this was his own disciple.
He couldn't abandon his disciple like this, no matter what.
Zhen Ke smiled inwardly upon hearing this.
If the old Daoist priest had abandoned his disciple and gone in himself at that moment...
Then you'll definitely go in one foot and get kicked out the next.
Fortunately, this guy didn't disappoint her.
As expected of someone brought back by a disciple, their character is quite good.
The old Daoist priest was a little nervous at this moment, and he didn't know whether he had said that his disciple's character was acceptable.
Is this even useful?
But he still hoped it would be of some use, so he spoke up.
"Well, since we're going together, let's go in together."
Zhen Ke nodded in agreement.
The young apprentice standing to the side was initially a little nervous, fearing that the Daoist priest in front of him would refuse.
If that's the case, he'd rather give up himself than let his master go in and give it a try.
After all, his master was already very old, so as long as he could enter the Daoist Daoist Sect...
That will naturally increase one's lifespan considerably.
Thinking about it, my master wouldn't have had to die so young.
To his surprise, the other party actually agreed.
He was prepared for the other party to refuse, but they actually agreed.
This left the young Daoist priest somewhat bewildered.
He didn't realize it, but the old Daoist priest beside him did.
He quickly pulled his apprentice to bow and express his gratitude.
Zhen Ke did not refuse, and after accepting the greeting, she waved for the other person to go inside.
Just then, Zhen Ke suddenly paused, then looked into the distance.
Zhen Ke's actions attracted the attention of several people nearby.
They immediately all looked in the direction the other person was looking.
As everyone looked in that direction, they saw a graceful figure flying towards them from afar.
The next moment, a man with an ethereal aura appeared before them.
"Who is this person? If there are immortals in this world, they probably wouldn't be much different..."
The old Daoist priest looked at the figure flying towards him and murmured to himself.
Zhen Ke, however, was overjoyed as she looked at the person who had arrived.
After her master left, she had few acquaintances left.
He was already a very sentimental person, and now that Fang Zelin was involved, he was naturally overjoyed.
" Senior Fang!"
Zhen Ke was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, calling out to Fang Zelin with a happy expression.
Senior Fang?
Upon hearing this shout, the old man and the young man standing nearby were immediately stunned.
Isn't this the one who is said to be the only one who can be considered an immortal?
Unexpectedly, they were actually fortunate enough to meet this immortal!
At this moment, both of them looked at this Immortal Elder Fang with utmost reverence.
Fang Zelin approached and nodded at the younger man before him.
With a gentle expression, he asked, "How has your practice been lately?"
"Recently, the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune greatly increased, making cultivation much easier. Look at this mortal; he's only holding an introductory cultivation book, yet he's already managed to cultivate some Daoist techniques."
At this point, Zhen Ke pointed to an old man and a young man standing to the side.
Fang Zelin was taken aback by these words, and then he noticed the old man and the young man standing to the side.
I hadn't noticed them before, but now that I look, I do see these two oddballs.
The two of them exuded an excessively worldly aura.
This is so easy to see.
"Who are these two..." Fang Zelin glanced at them, but felt something was off.
Then she felt that waiting for the other party to explain was too slow.
Fortunately, once his divine eye opened, he could clearly see the cause and effect of the recent events.
Before Zhen Ke could speak, Fang Zelin spoke up.
"I see... So now it's time to prepare for the Heart-Questioning Trial."
At this moment, the old Daoist felt as if a golden light flashed in the eyes of the immortal in front of him, and everything about him was seen clearly!
As expected, this being known as the Immortal Master was indeed extremely powerful.
At this moment, Zhen Ke did not find anything strange at all.
Senior Fang's abilities were something they couldn't possibly fathom.
So it's perfectly normal to spot some clues at a glance.
"Yes, at his age, he can't accumulate thirty more years of experience."
Zhen Ke added at this point.
Fang Zelin nodded upon hearing this, "That's true."
However, since both of them were about to enter the Heart-Questioning Trial, Fang Zelin decided not to say anything more.
The truth about the two will become clear once they pass the Heart-Questioning Trial.
"By the way, I've heard that Jade Willow Mountain has ten-thousand-year-old Biliu Willows that can produce jade, which can be used to cultivate the Golden Mouth and Jade Voice."
Fang Zelin then explained the main purpose of his visit.
He only recently heard about this, which is why he decided to come and take a look.
If possible, I would like to learn this Law Technique.
"Of course there are, but this Law Technique is extremely difficult to learn. If you're not careful, you can easily suffer a backlash from Law Technique."
"Therefore, this Law Technique has been sealed away for a long time, and there are decrees throughout history forbidding the transmission of this Law Technique."
Zhen Ke naturally knew quite a bit about this Law Technique.
Then, looking at Fang Zelin in front of him, he continued, "This Law Technique is indeed difficult to learn."
"But this shouldn't be a problem for you, senior."
This demonstrates her immense confidence in Fang Zelin.
In her opinion, it didn't matter if others couldn't learn it; as long as Senior Fang wanted to learn, there wouldn't be any problem.
"Then lend me some time to study this Law Technique. If I can master it, I'll have a better chance of defeating those Devil Race in the future."
Fang Zelin's reason for wanting to learn this Law Technique was naturally that he still needed to deal with the Devil Race.
Otherwise, with his current Law Technique, he would still be too weak.
In particular, Bearing the Heavens is currently unable to unleash the full potential he once possessed.
Without hesitation, Zhen Ke handed the Law Technique and the jade to Fang Zelin.
Fang Zelin glanced at the Law Technique and then put it aside.
But this jade is different.
To be honest, this isn't really jade; it's more like water.
It just looks like jade.
Fang Zelin glanced at it and then put it away.
"Senior, cultivating this Law Technique requires descending the mountain. Are you going down the mountain, senior?"
She had seen this Law Technique before.
After all, these are Law Technique that have been passed down and are not allowed to be learned.
Although she had no intention of cultivating it, she was still curious about how this Law Technique worked.
"Of course we'll go down the mountain, but I don't think this Law Technique is that difficult to learn, so I don't think there will be any problems."
Fang Zelin nodded.
Seeing that their goal had been achieved.
Without lingering any longer, he waved to Zhen Ke, then leaped into the air and flew down into the clouds.
Seeing this, Zhen Ke didn't say anything more, turned to the old Daoist priest beside him, and gestured for him to go in.
This Law Technique doesn't seem difficult to learn at all.
only...
Since Zhen Ke has said so, there must be something extremely difficult about this Law Technique to master.
On the official road, Fang Zelin lowered his head, holding a seemingly ordinary scroll.
Even if an outsider saw this scroll, they wouldn't be able to discern its extraordinary nature.
"To cultivate this method, one must first learn to listen to the voices of all things..."
Fang Zelin looked at the scroll in his hand, trying to understand the conditions required for cultivation.
While pondering the truth, Fang Zelin had also begun to cultivate little by little.
The sound of all things.
This wasn't particularly difficult for Fang Zelin.
As his cultivation improved, he comprehended countless Daoist methods and became increasingly closer to the Great Dao.
This would make learning this Law Technique much easier.
Fang Zelin continued his cultivation as he walked forward along the Great Dao.
It was only then that Fang Zelin noticed the scorched earth ahead.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and even quite a few corpses could be seen by the roadside.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin frowned.
Life in the human world... doesn't seem to be going so well.
That makes sense; with demons running rampant, how could things possibly get better?
Just as Fang Zelin was thinking this, he came across a local Land God Temple ahead.
But when Fang Zelin went up to take a look, he couldn't find a trace of incense burning inside.
Upon closer inspection, the traces of the Law Technique's devastation are quite obvious.
It seems that the land here has been completely destroyed.
Fang Zelin sighed upon seeing this scene.
If the local earth god still had a trace of life left, Fang Zelin might still be able to find a way.
But that's impossible now.
After tidying up a bit, Fang Zelin continued on his way until evening, when he suddenly saw several shadowy figures appearing ahead.
Although they were some distance apart, Fang Zelin was certain that the other party was not a demon.
Even so, Fang Zelin would not be afraid.
However, even though Fang Zelin said he was no longer afraid, the crowd opposite him began to feel somewhat intimidated.
After some struggle, they slowly moved closer.
They breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw Fang Zelin alone.
Furthermore, Fang Zelin doesn't have the appearance of Devil Race, so he probably isn't Devil Race either.
But this person seems to have no worries about food or drink.
Is this guy up to something?
Could it be a mountain demon in disguise, trying to kill them?
Upon realizing this, the group of people suddenly became somewhat nervous.
Fang Zelin walked directly toward the other person, appearing fearless.
And the more this happened, the more frightened the crowd on the other side became.
They also knew that if they encountered something unclean, it would be too late to run away by then.
So at this moment, all they could do was huddle together and walk towards Fang Zelin.
As he got closer, the ragged appearance of the group of people opposite him became clearly visible to Fang Zelin.
The children were already so tired they could barely walk, but they didn't dare say anything and just tried their best to keep up.
The leading adults, by this time, also had sallow complexions.
After overtaking Fang Zelin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I now know that the other party is probably not some kind of demon.
After walking a few steps, the middle-aged man at the head of the group finally couldn't go any further and stopped.
He plopped down on the ground.
Seeing this, the others also plopped down on their seats.
At this moment, the scene was eerily quiet.
Fang Zelin knew that these people were too hungry to speak.
As they looked up, their eyes seemed to be glancing, intentionally or unintentionally, at a few of the children among them.
The meaning is already very clear.
It wasn't that they didn't want to pursue Fang Zelin.
However, Fang Zelin looked young and strong at the moment, while they were already too tired to walk.
He could never be a match for Fang Zelin.
The children noticed the stares, but at that moment, they dared not utter a sound.
They all lowered their heads, trying to avoid those gazes.
Fang Zelin sighed inwardly upon seeing this scene.
He reached into his sleeve and pulled out several rice balls.
Having witnessed such a scene, he naturally couldn't stand idly by.
However, if the situation is already like this by the roadside, it must be even worse in other places.
