To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

This is not a situation where I like Miss Shangguan and can casually marry her.

At my position, marriage is not just about me, but a matter of life, death, prosperity, and decline for thousands of people.”

Qi Yun was taken aback after hearing this, and then smiled bitterly, “Alright, traveling with Fellow Daoist through wind and rain, experiencing the world, and wandering around the Jianghu, I had indeed forgotten about Fellow Daoist Lu’s status.

Indeed, if Fellow Daoist were alone, Miss Shangguan would be a good match.

But Fellow Daoist is a lord with tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people under his rule, so marriage cannot be taken lightly.

Alas, I originally wanted to play matchmaker. But it seems that it won’t work now.

Wealth and fame in the mortal world can disturb a person’s peace of mind.

That’s why I chose to hide in the desolate mountains, living in a dilapidated small temple, wholeheartedly seeking immortality, and not concerning myself with the outside world.”

Qi Yun the Daoist couldn’t help but sigh at this point.

It was because he had seen too much and was disillusioned that he could endure the loneliness and poverty, settling down in the remote mountains.

At this moment, he had a change of heart, but it was only because he cared about his fellow Daoist Lu Yuan, which caused him to lose his sense of judgement.

It seemed that his cultivation was still not enough, and he needed to polish himself further.

“Fellow Daoist’s ability to be content with poverty, to be happy in the pursuit of immortality, is also admirable.”

Seeing Qi Yun’s slight disappointment, Lu Yuan quickly said, “It is I who is greedy for fame and fortune, unwilling to let go, and ultimately not as firm in my Heart Towards the Dao as you, Fellow Daoist. In terms of cultivation, I am still lacking.”

Qi Yun smiled, “There is no distinction between being better or worse. I can’t stand the mortal dust, so I can only hide in the mountains to cultivate the Dao. But you, Fellow Daoist, are in the midst of the mortal dust, yet still able to maintain your original intention and pursue the Dao. This is even more remarkable.

Perhaps only someone like you, Fellow Daoist, can truly make progress in cultivation and have hope of attaining the Dao.”

Qi Daolong remembered Lu Yuan’s rapid progress in his mindset in recent years and felt enlightened and envious.

He had been cultivating in the mountains for decades but had not achieved much.

While Fellow Daoist Lu had been in the world for more than ten years, achieving success in the Dao Law and having hope for the Immortal Method, his future prospects were unlimited, and he didn’t know how much better he was than himself.

“I have only made some achievements now, but as for attaining the Dao, I don’t even know what the path looks like.”

Lu Yuan sighed and shook his head when he heard Qi Yun’s envy.

Although he had some immortal fate, he had been unable to use it. Even in his martial arts cultivation, he had not found a direction on how to break through the innate.

He was only looking forward to gaining something from this Daoist gathering.

With his current achievements, he was still far from becoming immortal and achieving the Dao.

They had arrived at their rooms by now. Both Lu Yuan and Qi Yun were carrying their luggage, so they didn’t continue the conversation. They said farewell to each other and entered their respective rooms.

Entering the room, Lu Yuan looked around.

Inside the room was a bed, a tea table, a wardrobe, a bookcase, and nothing else. It was really simple.

However, having lived in a cave before, having a room, a bed, a table, and a wardrobe was already quite good.

So he had no discomfort and gladly stayed.

At this time, it was around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, still some time before dinner. So after putting away his belongings, Lu Yuan didn’t rush to go out, but instead began to read the Taoist classics in the room.

As expected of a room prepared by Ziyun Dao.

Lu Yuan found more than a dozen books in the bookcase, all authored by the ancestors of Zi Yang Dao. They were placed in the room for the guests to read.

In order to promote their own Daoist ideas, Zi Yang Dao had done their best.

Since he had come all this way and was about to attend the Daoist gathering soon, it wouldn’t hurt to learn more about it. Lu Yuan picked up a book called “Yunxiaozijingmingqianxuanjing” and started reading it.

This book has more than 70,000 words. According to the preface, the author, Yun Xiao Zi, was the seventh-generation Dao master of the Qi Yun Path and lived over two thousand years ago. He claimed that he was about to ascend to become an immortal. Before leaving, he left this scripture to enlighten future generations.

The preface caught Lu Yuan by surprise.

If he remembered correctly, the incumbent Ziyun Dao Master was the nineteenth-generation Dao Master of Ziyun Dao, only twelve generations apart from the seventh-generation Dao Master of this book.

However, twelve generations had already spanned over two thousand years.

“Could it be that each generation of Ziyun Dao Masters could live up to 200 years?” Lu Yuan did some calculations and came to this conclusion, astonished.

It was rumored in the Jianghu that once a martial artist broke through Innate, they would break through the Heavenly and Earthly Mysterious Barrier, preventing the leakage of their essence, thus prolonging their lives and allowing them to live up to 150 years.

However, 150 years was almost the limit for martial artists, and few people surpassed this limit.

But the generations of Ziyun Dao Masters could live more than 200 years each.

“Is this the difference between cultivating immortality and practicing martial arts?

After achieving immortality, can one live at least 50 years longer than the limit for martial artists who reach Inborn Grandmaster level?”

As Lu Yuan thought about these things, his inner thoughts were stirred. His curiosity and yearning for cultivating immortality grew even stronger.

Suppressing these thoughts, he continued to read.

After the preface was the main text.

There was no difference between this scripture and other Daoist scriptures. The main content was about the mindset of cultivation, some fire control spells, and some experiences Yun Xiao Zi had during his travels.

Among them, Lu Yuan did not pay much attention to the mental aspects and spells.

The many Daoist scriptures he had read before basically had similar explanations, and there were unknown numbers of authors more famous than Yun Xiao Zi.

However, no matter which Daoist scripture it was, the descriptions of the state of mind were all very profound. It could only be grasped and understood by the reader, and the final results would not be exactly the same as what was said in the scripture..
