~7 min read 1,346 words

In the thick fog, the hills in the distance appeared extremely ethereal.

Upon discovering that another island had appeared, which was very likely the Penglai Xianshan, their destination for this trip.

Everyone was extremely excited.

The Mirage continued to move forward. Even with the existence of the fog, as the distance approached, the appearance of this mountain gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.

Unlike Liupo Mountain.

On the mountains and rivers of this island, the vegetation was lush, and it was a scene full of vitality. Before approaching, bursts of fragrance came from the island. Taking a sniff, one felt refreshed.

Such a feeling made many people think of the encounter in Loulan.

At the time of Loulan, as the Pixiu opened the passage to another world, the spiritual energy of the immortals permeated from another world. Everyone sniffed it a little, and felt refreshed, and the whole person became much younger.

At this moment, those who had participated in the Loulan trip immediately had a similar feeling.

And those who had not gone to Loulan also discovered the changes in their bodies and minds and were extremely shocked.

"Immortal mountain, the real immortal mountain!"

"Is this the legendary Penglai Xianshan?"

"Could it be that the legend is true, that there really grows the elixir of immortality on this mountain, and there is a fountain of immortality?"

Everyone discussed it one after another.

Regarding the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, their reputation in the world was actually much louder than Liupo Mountain. Liupo Mountain was only recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there were not many records about Liupo Mountain, just one sentence that the Yellow Emperor had killed the Kui ox here.

But the three immortal mountains were different.

Whether it was in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or in the "Chu Ci Tian Wen" by Liezi, Zhuangzi, and Qu Yuan, they had all mentioned them one after another.

Among them, the records in Liezi were the most detailed.

It said, "To the east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know how many billions of miles away, there is a great ravine, which is a bottomless valley, with no bottom below, named Guixu. The water of the eight poles and nine fields, the flow of the Milky Way, all pour into it, but it neither increases nor decreases. There are five mountains in it: one is Daiyu, two is Yuanqiao, three is Fanghu, four is Yingzhou, five is Penglai."

"The mountains are 30,000 miles in circumference, and their flat tops are 9,000 miles. The distance between the mountains is 70,000 miles, and they are neighbors. The terraces and buildings on them are all gold and jade, and the birds and beasts on them are all pure white. Pearls and jade trees grow on them, and flowers and fruits have delicious tastes. Those who eat them will not die or grow old. The people who live there are the same as humans, and they can fly."

Afterward, it also explained how two of the five immortal mountains disappeared, and now only three immortal mountains remain.

It was also because the legend of the three immortal mountains had a long history. During the period of King Zhao of Yan, he had sent people to sea to find the immortal mountains, but unfortunately, he gained nothing.

However, even so, many people had tried to explore the traces of the three immortal mountains, but the sea was vast, and those who went to sea either gained nothing or were buried in the sea.

Until today, the people on the Mirage saw the immortal mountain in front of them, and only then did they conclude that they had found the legendary immortal mountain.

Even if it was not Penglai, it was at least one of the other two immortal mountains.

Su Xuan came to the deck of the Mirage and looked at the immortal mountain in front of him, but his brows frowned. For some reason, he felt a trace of something wrong.

However, because it was just a feeling, he did not say it directly.

The Mirage continued to move forward, and soon, it came to the side of this huge island.

Compared with Liupo Mountain, the scale of this island appeared larger. At the same time, after approaching it, the feeling of being refreshed became more and more intense. Everyone breathed hard, as if taking a breath of immortal energy could increase their lifespan by a few days.

"Lord Xuantian?"

Yanfei felt the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, and turned her head to look at Su Xuan.

She did not get lost because she found the legendary immortal mountain.

She had not forgotten that the true leader of this trip was Su Xuan.

Su Xuan nodded and said: "Let's go ashore!"

Thus, Yanfei conveyed the order. After leaving some people to guard the Mirage, the rest of the people, like on Liupo Mountain, boarded this island, this immortal mountain.

After stepping into the immortal mountain, everyone first saw the extremely lush vegetation.

Here was a scene full of vitality, completely different from the deathly silent Liupo Mountain of that day.

There were many buildings and pavilions in the mountains, all piled up with gold and jade, and there were clear springs flowing. Between the tinkling of the spring water, there were bursts of fragrance. Near the spring water, there were also many low shrubs growing, the shrubs were crisp, and there were small fruits growing.

The fruits also exuded fragrance, and its fragrance was mixed with the fragrance of the spring water. Many Mohist disciples, Yin-Yang School disciples, and even Da Siming, Shao Siming, and others, subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and could not help but go forward to drink a handful of spring water and eat a few fruits. Even if this was not the elixir of immortality that could make one live forever, just looking at this appearance and this fragrance, it was extremely extraordinary.

0 ········Begging for flowers···· ····

Seeing this, Duanmu Rong subconsciously prepared to rush forward to pick some fruits and study them carefully.

The scenes in the mountains made the accompanying people more and more firm that this was the legendary immortal mountain. Although Liupo Mountain was also an immortal mountain, they did not see the Kui ox on Liupo Mountain, and there were not even trees. If it weren't for Jiang Taigong's rumors, they would not even be able to accept that it was an immortal mountain.

And this mountain was different. Although there were no immortal birds and beasts with pure white hair as mentioned in Liezi, and no gods coming and going, just by these spring waters and these fruits, it confirmed the reality of its immortal mountain.

The instinct from the body would not deceive oneself.

This is an immortal mountain!

Finally, some Mohist disciples could not resist the temptation and rushed up for the first time.

"Elixir of immortality, immortality!"

However, before he could approach the trees growing by the spring water, Su Xuan took action one step ahead, flicked his finger, and knocked him unconscious.

The other few Mohist disciples who could not resist the temptation and rushed up were also knocked unconscious by Su Xuan lightly.

Su Xuan's actions shocked everyone.

Jing Ke could not help but look at Su Xuan, "Lord Xuantian?"

Su Xuan said coldly: "I thought the Mohist School was a group of ascetics. I didn't expect that they couldn't even resist this little temptation!"

Jing Ke's brows frowned slightly, feeling a little ashamed.

Yes, without figuring out the reality of the immortal mountain, rashly concluding that it was the elixir of immortality was really unwise.

No wonder Lord Xuantian would take action. He was saving the Mohist disciples. What if these fruits were poisonous?

Immediately afterward, he heard Su Xuan say: "What is in front of you is not real, what you hear is not true. Do you think what you see and hear is real?"
