An immortal is one who moves into the mountains

"Sit."

The old man pointed to a spot to the side and gently waved to Fang Zelin.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly next to the other person.

In the distance, you can see many other elderly people busily working.

Everything seemed strangely familiar.

Speaking of which, what did I do last time I was here?

Qingyun formed a cloud and flew swiftly towards the mountain gate.

When he returned to the mountain gate as quickly as possible, Qingcheng, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.

When he saw that Qingyun's hair was disheveled and her clothes were not as neat as when she left home, he was immediately startled.

Did my senior brother encounter any danger on this trip?

"Senior brother?"

Qingcheng greeted him and, after carefully examining him and seeing that his senior brother was unharmed, finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Senior brother, have you obtained the fortuitous opportunity?"

Qingcheng then inquired about the crux of the matter.

Qingyun smiled upon hearing this, "You've already obtained this fortuitous opportunity. Junior brother, please protect me for a while. I still need to calm my mind and adjust my breathing."

This trip was made possible by timing.

Otherwise, if he had gone earlier, he would have returned immediately, and there would have been no chance for him to sit down and discuss the Dao with that fellow Daoist.

He obtained the other party's profound Daoist scriptures.

Also, it's fortunate that my junior brother didn't come along.

Otherwise, given the circumstances at the time, upon seeing the ginseng spirit, his junior brother would likely have joined forces with him to steal it.

Recalling everything that had just happened, I felt as if one wrong step would have caused me to miss this fortuitous opportunity.

He was overjoyed.

"Alright, Senior Brother, please continue your cultivation and meditation. I will protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng did not press further and immediately nodded emphatically.

The two landed and entered a side hall together.

After landing, Qingyun immediately sat on the meditation cushion and began to cultivate in peace.

As the Spiritual Power within his body began to circulate, the slight anxiety in his heart was suppressed, and he then entered a state of selflessness.

Just as Qingyun entered this state, a trace of Daoist energy suddenly arose.

Kiyoshige, who Qingcheng guard nearby, keenly noticed the situation. When he turned his head to look, he was immediately startled, but his surprise quickly turned into joy.

"Senior brother, have we entered the Seeking Dao Mountain?"

Seeking Dao Mountain.

It is still that majestic mountain.

It is just a large mountain, but it stretches endlessly in front of us, with clouds and mist covering its waist, making it impossible to see the whole mountain.

Upon seeing the towering mountain before her, Qingyun's face lit up with delight.

"Seeking Dao Mountain, Seeking Dao Mountain priest will finally be able to enter Seeking Dao Mountain once again!"

In her memory, the appearance of the Seeking Dao Mountain had become blurry, but now, looking at the majestic mountain in front of her so clearly, Qingyun was excited, but she quickly suppressed this excitement.

To enter the Seeking Dao Mountain, one must be approved by the Heavenly Dao.

Entering the Seeking Dao Mountain allows one to receive a lifespan extension granted by heaven and earth, and to continue cultivating.

When cultivators practice, Spiritual Qi is released, which is a gift from heaven and earth, and it is not infinite.

Each time a cultivator enters the Seeking Dao Mountain, Heaven and Earth bestow upon them a certain amount of Spiritual Qi. Once this energy is used up through cultivation, it is gone.

Therefore, cultivators are extremely cautious in using Spiritual Power during cultivation.

After all, cultivating to a certain level can indeed extend one's lifespan.

Looking at everything around her that was gradually becoming familiar, Qingyun calmed herself down and took a few steps forward.

A moment later, Qingyun's expression froze as she saw a young figure standing beside the Fishing Old Man in front of her.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't that the fellow Daoist I had just met earlier today?

This fellow Daoist is actually sitting next to the Fishing Old Man. Just who is this fellow Daoist?

Seeing Fang Zelin and the Fishing Old Man chatting and laughing in front of her, Qingyun felt extremely shocked.

This impact was far greater than when he entered the Seeking Dao Mountain.

I had worked so hard, and only after receiving a word of guidance from this fellow Daoist was I able to enter this Seeking Dao Mountain.

Judging from the other person's appearance, not only did they enter with ease, but they also sat down with the Fishing Old Man.

Judging from this, the other person is clearly a regular here!

When will Seeking Dao Mountain again?

For a moment, Qingyun felt as if all his knowledge and experience from hundreds of years of cultivation had been overturned.

After a long while, Qingyun gradually calmed down and hesitated as she looked at Fang Zelin in front of her, wondering whether she should go up and greet him.

To be able to meet another fellow Daoist in the Seeking Dao Mountain is, to be honest, a truly rare occurrence.

However, this fellow Daoist seems to be having a pleasant conversation. Won't his sudden approach disturb him?

On second thought, Qingyun felt that it might be somewhat presumptuous of her to step forward so rashly.

However, just as he hesitated, Fang Zelin's figure in front of him gradually dissipated and then disappeared from his sight.

His time was up, and he left.

Seeing this scene, Qingyun sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat regretful that she hadn't been able to go up and greet the other person.

But she quickly calmed down.

"It's alright. I've already told you, fellow Daoist, that I'm at Jade Void Mountain, waiting for you to arrive. I'll express my gratitude properly then!"

With this thought in mind, Qingyun immediately felt at peace.

"Strange, why did I end up in front of that mountain again? Something's fishy!"

At the foot of Yingping Peak, Fang Zelin opened his eyes.

At this moment, all the ginseng essence in his body had been absorbed, which made Fang Zelin's skin even whiter and more tender, somewhat like a baby's skin.

Fang Zelin also noticed this change in his body, but he didn't investigate it further.

It's normal for ginseng extract to have some benefits after consumption.

What he really wants to know is what happened at the mountain he just visited.

With this in mind, Fang Zelin pulled up a chair, walked to the door, and glanced at Yingping Peak behind him.

He pondered in his heart what exactly happened with the mountain he had visited.

Bearing the Heavens also flew out at this moment, imitating Fang Zelin's posture by slightly tilting his sword towards Yingping Peak behind him.

"That's right!"

Fang Zelin looked at Yingping Peak in front of him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Immortal, migration, migration into the mountains!"

This saying comes from the annotations of the Shuowen), and now, looking back on it, it perfectly describes the mountain I've visited.

So, reaching the foot of the mountain signifies becoming an immortal? Is this why I often find myself able to reach this mountain during my cultivation?

Upon closer examination, Fang Zelin found it increasingly reasonable.

From this perspective, there's no harm in spending more time cultivating in front of that mountain.

After all, he was aiming to become an immortal.

Feeling that he had solved the mountain's secret, Fang Zelin was in high spirits. He then waved his hand and cast the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique.

A light drizzle began to fall on the fields.
