Chapter 105 The Five Manors of Longevity Mountain!
After landing in the mountains, Chen Changsheng was also shocked.
One can see that within these mountains lies a place of outstanding natural beauty and abundant resources, with mountain ranges stretching endlessly.
In addition, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirled into mist, where cranes soared and mythical beasts roamed.
What an ethereal, otherworldly sight!
"Although there is no need to go up Buzhou Mountain, it is still an extremely rare blessed land."
After taking a look around, Chen Changsheng followed the system's guidance and headed towards the place where the treasure had fallen.
Before long, he arrived at the summit of this mountain.
Earlier, from above the clouds, he had seen a Taoist temple sitting atop the mountain below.
The Taoist temple was isolated from observation and faintly exuded an aura of transcendence.
It was precisely because he recognized the extraordinary nature of that Taoist temple that Chen Changsheng did not descend rashly, but instead chose to land inside the mountain and proceed on foot.
"So it really is inside this Taoist temple!"
At this moment, Chen Changsheng stood inside the Taoist temple, sighing to himself.
I had already guessed this beforehand.
Could the level-six treasure trove that fell into the Taoist temple? Unexpectedly, it really did.
With a sigh, Chen Changsheng carefully examined the Taoist temple in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, the Taoist temple appeared ancient and magnificent, with blue bricks and gray tiles.
It appears simple, yet it exudes a transcendent Taoist charm that breathes with the heavens and earth and endures with the sun and moon, inspiring awe in all who behold it.
"This place is probably the sacred site of a powerful being!"
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, feeling both amused and exasperated.
I can't understand it. The treasure troves that this system drops are often located in other people's training grounds.
For example, the previous Lady Shiji and the Jade Cauldron Immortal...
If he were reasonable, he might still have the option of taking the treasure with him after he unearthed it.
However, if he encounters someone with ulterior motives, it won't be so easy for him to take the unearthed treasure away.
Lost in thought, Chen Changsheng's gaze suddenly fell on a stone tablet on the left side of the mountain gate.
Inscribed on the stone tablet is a sentence: "Longevity Mountain, a blessed land; Wuzhuang Temple, a celestial paradise!"
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"No way?"
"Is this... Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Hill?"
Surprised and suspicious, he turned his gaze and noticed more details.
Above the main gate of the Taoist temple hung a couplet that read:
"The abode of immortals who live forever, the home of Taoists who live as long as the heavens."
The horizontal scroll reads "May Heaven and Earth Live as Long as We Are!"
This couplet, with its flowing, dynamic strokes, possesses a natural and profound artistic charm!
Upon seeing this couplet, Chen Changsheng was startled and realized where he had come from.
"So it really is that person's dojo!"
As he spoke, a person subconsciously came to mind.
He is none other than Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of all earth immortals.
Upon thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
It should be noted that Zhen Yuanzi is a top-tier Quasi-Saint, wielding the Book of Earth and possessing immense power.
"This requires digging for treasure inside Wuzhuang Temple. If Zhen Yuanzi doesn't agree, I'm afraid..."
Chen Changsheng gave a bitter smile.
He is currently only at the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
Compared to a top-tier quasi-saint like Zhen Yuanzi, he is far inferior.
If Zhen Yuanzi doesn't allow him to take away the treasures he dug up, there's nothing he can do.
Just as Chen Changsheng was pondering how to pay his respects at the mountain,
The tightly closed door suddenly opened.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Changsheng quickly snapped out of his daze and looked in that direction.
Upon closer inspection, two young Taoist boys emerged from the Taoist temple.
The two young Taoist boys each had their hair styled in two buns and wore light blue Taoist robes.
After he appeared, the two young Taoist disciples looked at Chen Changsheng with curiosity.
"Um?"
At the same time, Chen Changsheng also looked at the two young Taoist disciples.
"These two must be Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two Daoist disciples under Zhen Yuanzi, right?"
Chen Changsheng was no stranger to these two young Taoist disciples.
As disciples of Zhen Yuanzi, Qingfeng and Mingyue have cultivated in Wuzhuang Temple for over a thousand years, guarding the ginseng fruit tree for a long time.
Although they were just children, their auras were refined and their inner light was radiant.
He had already reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
After sizing each other up, the exquisitely handsome young Taoist priest stepped forward and muttered to himself:
"You're the distinguished guest the master mentioned?"
As he said this, Qingfeng's expression showed a hint of surprise.
Unexpectedly, the distinguished guest mentioned by Zhen Yuanzi turned out to be a human Golden Immortal.
Before Chen Changsheng could reply, Mingyue spoke:
"The master foresaw that distinguished guests would be arriving today, and specially ordered the two of us to come out and greet them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that Zhen Yuanzi truly lived up to his reputation as the ancestor of earth immortals, for he had actually foreseen his return.
After a slight pause, he quickly bowed to Qingfeng and Mingyue, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Chen Changsheng, a disciple of the Jie Sect, greets the two seniors!"
In this primordial world, those who are accomplished are valued above all else. Although Qingfeng and Mingyue were just Daoist disciples of Wuzhuang Temple, their cultivation level was that of Taiyi Golden Immortal, which was higher than Chen Changsheng's Golden Immortal realm.
It is only right that he be addressed as "senior".
Of course, if the cultivation levels are similar, then addressing each other as "fellow Daoist" is sufficient.
"Oh?"
"A disciple of the Jie Sect?"
Upon hearing that Chen Changsheng came from the Jie Sect, Qingfeng and Mingyue were slightly surprised, and their expressions softened considerably.
In any case, the Jie Sect was a great sect in the primordial world, with sages and disciples.
Chen Changsheng was a disciple of the Jie Sect, which meant he came from a sage's lineage and was indeed of noble status.
After a moment of surprise, the young Daoist Mingyue spoke:
"Come with us inside!"
With that, Mingyue returned Chen Changsheng's greeting and, together with Qingfeng, led Chen Changsheng into the Wuzhuang Temple.
Before long, Chen Changsheng arrived at a large tree, led by the two children.
From that towering tree emanated an extremely rich innate aura. Just a slight whiff of it made Chen Changsheng feel as if every pore on his body was opening up.
In addition, the trunk of this tree is gnarled like a dragon, and its branches and leaves are as green as jade, covering half of the sky.
Among the lush green branches and leaves, one can vaguely see fruits shaped like infants hanging on the branches, exuding an enticing fragrance and a powerful spiritual energy.
If it's not the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the Ten Primordial Spiritual Roots, then what is it?
"Is that the ginseng fruit?"
Chen Changsheng's gaze sharpened, and he couldn't help but marvel.
He was naturally familiar with this ginseng fruit tree.
This tree is a spiritual root of heaven and earth formed at the beginning of chaos, and its fruit is called Grass Elixir, also known as Ginseng Fruit.
It takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature.
Once mature, it produces only thirty ginseng fruits, shaped like infants. They fall when exposed to metal, and become ineffective when exposed to the Five Elements.
Just hearing about it can add 360 years to one's lifespan, and eating it can extend one's lifespan by 47,000 years!
After a brief glance, Chen Changsheng quickly averted his gaze and instead focused on a figure sitting cross-legged not far from the tree.
This Taoist priest wore a purple-gold crown, a carefree crane cloak, and shoes. A silk ribbon tied around his waist. He had the appearance of a child and the face of a beauty. Three whiskers floated under his chin, and raven feathers covered his temples.
