“Brother Lu, are you really not leaving with us?”

At the doorway of the Taoist temple, Sun Siwen and Kong Yuzhu stood outside the door, looking at Lu Yuan, who was seeing them off, and asked again.

Both of them had decided to return to the city in the afternoon, but their companion had told them he wasn’t going back so soon, which surprised him a little.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, “Brother Sun and Friend Kong, you go back first. I still have many doubts in my mind and need to consult with Daoist Qi Yun, so I’ll stay here for a few more days.”

Although he had resolved many puzzles and learned a lot in this day and a half of discussion, only a small part of the doubts in his heart had been resolved, and there was still much he needed to know.

So he decided to stay until his doubts were resolved.

Anyway, there was food and lodging here, and Qi Yun Taoist’s cooking skills had impressed Lu Yuan. With a true cultivator explaining the classics and resolving doubts, such a life was very carefree and leisurely. In less than two days, he was somewhat addicted to it.

Sun Siwen reluctantly said, “Alright then.”

‘Let him stay. Studying Taoist classics in a Taoist temple is better than

teaching girls to sing in the Red Phoenix Building. At least he’s learning something good, not something bad.’

Layman Sun thought so and finally descended the mountain with Kong Yuzhu.

After seeing off his friends, Lu Yuan plunged back into the Taoist temple to consult with Qi Yun Taoist about the Taoist Classics.

There were no discussions today.

After parting with Daoist Kong Yuzhu, Lu Yuan, the new “Fellow Daoist,” was clearly not enough to discuss with Qi Yun Taoist on his own. Therefore, the relationship between the two was more like teacher and student.

The student asked questions, and the teacher answered. Then one by one, the puzzles and doubts gradually vanished.

Lu Yuan had been studying scriptures for four years and had read more than a hundred Taoist classics, producing countless puzzles during that time.

It would be an exaggeration to say there were thousands, but there were certainly several hundred.

In the past two days, three discussions had solved only twenty or thirty of those puzzles.

He still had many more questions waiting for the teacher’s answers.

Fortunately, as a teacher, Qi Yun Taoist had a strong moral character and was not impatient. He carefully explained each question without any impatience.

Moreover, his answers were to the point, giving listeners an enlightening feeling.

With such a teacher, Lu Yuan’s Daoist learning was quickly improved, and he felt a sense of purification in his body and mind, as if he were undergoing a transformation.

This made him realize that he had met an excellent teacher, and he cherished this learning opportunity even more.

Qi Yun Taoist was also very satisfied with his student.

First of all, his comprehension was excellent, and his attitude towards learning and seeking the way was admirable.

If it were not that he himself was not qualified to accept Lu Yuan as his apprentice, he would have wanted to entrust all his teachings to him.

Nevertheless, Qi Yun Taoist treated Lu Yuan like his own apprentice, teaching him diligently and without reservation, except in matters related to the temple’s heritage.

Time flies when you are learning.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan stayed in Qingyun View for a month.

During that time, Sun Siwen, worried about him, visited once during a break and left with peace of mind when he saw that Lu Yuan was fine and had no intention of becoming a monk.

Of course, Lu Yuan had no intention of becoming a monk.

He was studying Daoist texts to improve his martial arts, and improving martial arts was meant to enhance his self-preservation skills and better enjoy his leisurely life.

With this premise, Lu Yuan naturally would not abandon prosperity and choose to retire to the mountains and become a monk, that would be going against the purpose of his quest.

After all, Daoists like Qi Yun aimed at cultivating themselves away from the mortal dust to focus on cultivating the Dao, ascending to immortality and enjoying long-lasting leisure.

But now, Lu Yuan was already immortal.

Qi Yun’s lifelong pursuit was nothing but his starting point.

Now that he has achieved what countless cultivators dream of, he doesn’t need to pursue immortality through asceticism, monasticism, etc.

Lu Yuan stayed in the Daoist temple, not seeking longevity, but to learn the protective techniques despised by Qi Yun and other Daoists as merely minor details of the Dao.

However, all learning eventually comes to an end.

After a month of consultation, all of Lu Yuan’s accumulated doubts were finally resolved.

Now he was confident that he would have no difficulty practicing the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra. The seventh and eighth meridians recorded in the Mental Technique could even be directly practiced.

The remaining positive meridians and two bizarre meridians would become more understandable as his learning deepened.

Having achieved his goal, Lu Yuan timely asked for leave from Qi Yun Taoist.

This was not because he didn’t want to learn from the old teacher anymore.

But rather, he wanted to return home and study the Taoist scriptures for a while longer.

After gaining some experience and accumulating some questions, he would consult his teacher again.

He wasn’t Qi Yun Taoist’s apprentice after all, so he couldn’t just stay in someone else’s house indefinitely, wasting his time being taught like an apprentice.

Qi Yun Taoist didn’t say anything, but Lu Yuan figured he should have some sense of propriety.

After all, Qi Yun Taoist aspired to become an immortal as well.

Although it was unclear if he could become an immortal,

There was no doubt that the time Qi Yun Taoist spent teaching Lu Yuan would reduce the time he spent cultivating immortality.

Lu Yuan’s staying here occupied his time, which would go against his purpose of coming to the mountains to escape the world, wouldn’t it?

“You’re leaving already?”

As a matter of fact, that was exactly the case. Faced with Lu Yuan’s request to leave, Qi Yun Taoist sighed with emotion, not trying to keep him longer, but only reminding him, “Fellow Daoist Lu, your talent and Dao heart are the best I have ever seen.

Your destiny with immortality is very deep, and your future achievements will be above mine.”

“I hope you do not waste this immortal fate, strive to cultivate the Dao, and maybe even provide some guidance for me at that time.

That would count as my fate with immortality.”

Qi Yun Taoist was very open-minded, and half joking, half seriously said.

The fact was, it was precisely because of his expectations for Lu Yuan that he was so diligently teaching him.

Otherwise, his determination to study alone would not be enough for him to go this far.

Lu Yuan solemnly said, “If I achieve anything in the future, I will never forget the grace of Fellow Daoist Qi Yun teaching me.”

Facing such a devoted teacher, his heart was filled with deep gratitude and affection.

Qi Yun Taoist immediately said with pleasure, “Excellent, excellent! Your word is enough for me!”

Then he waved his hand, “Go, go. The mountains are no place for you; your world is out there.”

“My Poor Daoist takes his leave.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan stood up, paying him a respectful salute, then turned around and left.

As Qi Yun Taoist said, this narrow mountain Taoist temple, which belonged to Qi Yun, was his haven and not suitable for Lu Yuan.

The vast world outside, the bustling world, belonged to his own leisurely life..
