This is the most primal and purest of pursuits.
Xuanmen Taoists don’t mess around with empty gestures.
The main goal is to seek immortality and become an Immortal.
Opening a Taoist temple, helping all beings, that’s just part-time work.
You have to cultivate your own virtue before you can save the world.
As for whether ordinary people believe in Xuanmen Taoism?
If the Taoist priests were to speak their minds, they’d say, "Believe it if you like, if not, beat it. Don’t bother me while I cultivate for immortality."
Opening a Taoist temple, gathering disciples is just for fun. Who’s really counting on that to get rich?
What priests seek is immortality, all right!
Li Jin Yan’s response was offbeat but hit the nail on the head, in line with Xuanmen’s core beliefs.
Qin Hao appreciates straightforward talkers.
Moreover, Li Jin Yan’s constitution is not bad.
Back then, Yuxu Mountain was frantic to snatch her up.
All because of this constitution.
It can be said to be a natural cultivation physique.
If she really started cultivating, she would progress by leaps and bounds, a natural Nascent Soul.
For such a talent to seek a master is like a top university graduate insisting on working for your company.
For such high-end talent,
Qin Hao had no reason to refuse.
Besides, Qin Hao had invited the Li family to the Heavenly Master Mansion partly to deliver the Healing Yellow Stone to Elder Master Li.
More importantly, it was for this Li Jin Yan.
He had drawn a Golden Winged Great Peng Egg in a previous lottery.
The system’s hatching task was to take on a disciple with a special constitution.
It just so happened that Li Jin Yan fits the bill as an Innate Dao Yuan Tai.
Qin Hao had originally intended to ask if Li Jin Yan was willing to pursue the path of Taoism.
Unexpectedly, before he could ask, Li Jin Yan proactively requested to become his disciple.
Why wouldn’t he be happy about it?
He not only acquired a talent for a disciple but could also hatch the Golden Winged Great Peng.
It was the best of both worlds.
Li Jin Yan herself didn’t expect to successfully become a disciple so easily.
She was also thrilled.
Elder Master Li and Li Zhen Dong were stunned.
Their granddaughter, their daughter, had really succeeded in becoming a disciple to the Heavenly Master?
Their family was going to produce a Cultivator?
Elder Master Li and Li Zhen Dong were also overjoyed.
This trip to the Heavenly Master Mansion had been tremendously profitable for them.
After all, having a descendant become a Cultivator was a matter of great pride for them.
Watching Li Jin Yan’s successful discipleship, Wu Tianfeng, who had been watching from the side, envied to the point of tears.
He wanted to become a disciple too.
He hesitated for a moment.
Then he also spoke up, "Heavenly Master, I also wish to..."
He hadn’t finished his sentence when Qin Hao said, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, layman Wu, your path does not lie in Qingyun Mountain."
Was he being rejected even before he started?
Wu Tianfeng was dumbfounded.
Had he been rejected by the Heavenly Master even before he could ask to become a disciple?
However, after thinking it through, Wu Tianfeng accepted it.
That’s right, he already had a master before Qingyun Mountain.
How could someone with an existing master expect to be accepted into another one’s sect?
Qingyun Mountain is equivalent to a powerful family.
The Heavenly Master is like a top-tier wealthy heir.
Taking on a disciple for the Heavenly Master is like that heir looking for a spouse, certainly aiming to marry someone of equal status, a pristine maiden of high lineage.
Wu Tianfeng would be considered someone seeking a second marriage.
Which successful person, which top-tier wealthy heir, would marry someone who’s been married before?
That would be utterly foolish.
Thinking it through , it seemed quite normal to be politely rejected.
But still, Wu Tianfeng couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
At that moment, Qin Hao spoke.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerate, layman Wu, although your future path does not lie with Qingyun Mountain, meeting here is destiny. I shall gift you something as a token. Reflect on it during your cultivation, and perhaps you’ll find some gains!"
With that, Qin Hao sent a Jade Scroll flying towards Wu Tianfeng.
Wu Tianfeng looked at the Jade Scroll the Heavenly Master had given him, stunned.
Is this... the legendary Teaching Jade Scroll?
