Chapter 41: Showing Off in the Clouds

After taking out the tea set out of thin air, Lin Yu glanced at Sima Chengzhen lightly, wanting to see his reaction.

But who would have thought that Sima Chengzhen's expression would not change, and he walked over naturally, seemingly completely indifferent to Lin Yu's methods...

Hey hey, this is not right!

Taking things out of the void!

Such a great divine ability, you old Daoist seeking immortality actually had no reaction?!

Lin Yu was a bit surprised.

But soon he realized that this old guy should have misunderstood something.

After all, in this world, there are indeed many magical methods, such as the illusions in the main plot.

Most of these illusions are tricks performed using hallucinogenic drugs and psychological suggestions.

Some are even just mechanism art and magic tricks, with no supernatural factors at all.

Methods like taking things out of thin air can be done with magic tricks.

Sima Chengzhen has practiced Dao for so many years, and has even become a sect master. He might even know such Daoist performances, let alone whether he has seen them!

Is this having eyes but not recognizing Mount Tai...

Lin Yu sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he said calmly: "Since it is the true law appearing in the world, discussing the Dao in this temple is inevitably demeaning the true law. Would fellow Daoist like to go to the clouds with me?"

"……"

Sima Chengzhen was slightly stunned.

Lin Yu nodded: "That is a yes!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeve again, and the water vapor in the surroundings instantly condensed into mist, the mist accumulated into clouds, and finally turned into a magic cloud, carrying the stone stools and stone table and slowly flying toward the sky.

The clouds under his feet brought a soft and tough texture, and a cool breeze blew over his head.

Sima Chengzhen sat stiffly on the stone stool, slowly lowered his head, and looked at the Yuxiao Peak gradually moving away below with a slightly dull gaze, seemingly not having reacted from the changes before his eyes.

Shortly after, the old Daoist raised his head, looked at the teapot that flew up by itself with stiff movements, and then looked at Lin Yu, who was holding a teacup opposite, looking light and relaxed, and finally couldn't help but tremble all over.

He stood up abruptly, ignoring his own danger, knelt on the clouds, and said with trembling lips:

"Little Daoist Baiyunzi, did not recognize the true immortal's dharma frame, and actually tried to seek the law with clever words, this... this..."

That's right~

I thought you really didn't care about these methods!

Lin Yu smiled, then waved his sleeve, helping Sima Chengzhen up from a distance.

"Those who don't know are not guilty. This monarch is not a vengeful person, you can relax!"

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Sima Chengzhen hurriedly bowed and thanked, then looked at Lin Yu opposite cautiously.

Unlike before, this time his gaze was mixed with many emotions, including the excitement and agitation of meeting an immortal, as well as the nervousness and fear of accidentally offending the immortal.

After a moment of silence, he asked respectfully: "May I ask for the immortal's name."

Lin Yu chuckled: "My name is Huan Yu, according to the system of the Bai Yu Capital, you can call me True Monarch."

Bai Yu Capital?

Sima Chengzhen was stunned, then hurriedly responded respectfully:

"So it is True Monarch Huan Yu!"

Lin Yu smiled, manipulated the teapot to pour a cup of hot tea, and it flew in front of Sima Chengzhen.

"Thank you, True Monarch, for the tea!"

Sima Chengzhen hurriedly thanked, excitedly picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Hmm~ truly good tea!

No wonder True Monarch would carry it with him...

Sima Chengzhen showed amazement.

He only drank one sip, and felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, and even his body seemed to be much lighter.

Without a doubt, this must be immortal tea!

Sima Chengzhen thought firmly in his heart.

Seeing the cherished expression on his face, Lin Yu couldn't help but find it funny.

What body lightness, it was just his illusion!

The tea leaves Lin Yu took out were actually from that Da Hong Pao mother tree, only the taste could be considered top-grade, and the benefits to the human body were not even as good as a green date that had not been strengthened by magic power.

Seeing through but not saying it, Lin Yu didn't explain, waiting quietly for him to finish the tea, and then said softly:

"The art of internal elixirs is mysterious and mysterious. It cannot be spoken, nor can it be named. For the sake of your sincere request, this monarch can make an exception once and take you to experience the world after forming the elixir..."

Sima Chengzhen was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Disciple thanks True Monarch!"

Lin Yu smiled and extended his hand: "Come forward!"

Sima Chengzhen hurriedly stepped forward, his slightly hunched body standing respectfully in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu lowered his eyes and eyebrows, stroked his head with his hand, and his spiritual power instantly covered the old Daoist's whole body.

In an instant, Sima Chengzhen trembled all over, his slightly turbid pupils lost clarity, as if his soul had left his body.

In fact, it was true. From the moment the True Monarch stroked his head, the world before Sima Chengzhen's eyes changed, as if he had instantly stepped into another brand-new world.

That was a wonderful world after the essence, Qi, and spirit were materialized.

Essence is the jade flower, Qi is the gold flower, spirit is the nine flowers, hence there is the gathering of three flowers on the top.

The essence and Qi of the five internal organs evolve and return to the Yellow Court, hence there is the five Qi facing the origin.

The hub of the circulation of the Zhou Tian, a golden, round elixir pill suspended in the air.

Sima Chengzhen looked at the golden elixir obsessively, subconsciously wanting to move closer.

Thus, his consciousness rushed into the golden elixir, and his vision finally shifted from inside the body to outside.

At this time, he already "possessed" the power of the golden elixir, and every move contained great magic power.

He waved his hand, and he could make the high mountains collapse; he took a step, and clouds and mist were born.

Soaring through the world, flying across the four seas, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and reaching Cangwu in the evening, all in a single thought...

Such free and great divine ability made Sima Chengzhen lose his mind, almost sinking into it.

Fortunately, Lin Yu noticed his state and withdrew his spiritual power in time, saying softly:

"Wake up~"

The voice, which was not loud, fell into Sima Chengzhen's ears, but it was as deafening as a thunderclap.

In just an instant, Sima Chengzhen recovered from the illusion of great magic power and great divine ability, and his consciousness returned to clarity.

Seeing the expression of loss on his face, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask with a smile: "How is it?"

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Sima Chengzhen excitedly said the word "wonderful" three times, then his expression firmed, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Practicing Dao for decades, the disciple asks himself that he has never been slack, but he has never been able to enter. Now that I have met the True Monarch and been given the immortal fate, I finally know what the Dao of the true immortal is!"

"For such kindness, the disciple has nothing to repay. I only hope that the True Monarch will pity the disciple's heart for the Dao and allow the disciple to build a statue for the True Monarch. From now on, the Shangqing Tiantai School will respect the True Monarch, worship day and night, and the incense will never end!"

Hearing Sima Chengzhen's words, Lin Yu couldn't help but show amazement.

This old Daoist is indeed a smart person. He clearly wanted to worship him as a teacher in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it on the surface, only saying he wanted to build a statue for him, using this way of worshiping the whole school to bind them together.

It's a pity that Lin Yu doesn't care about any True Monarch statue.

He had his own calculations for this trip, and no matter what Sima Chengzhen said, it couldn't change the result.

After a moment of thought, Lin Yu said with a smile: "This monarch is an immortal of freedom and does not eat incense, but if you want to build a statue, this monarch will not stop you."

Sima Chengzhen was overjoyed and bowed again.

Lin Yu shook his head and helped him up with a wave of his sleeve.

"No need for this. You realized the path of internal elixirs this time, which corresponds to this immortal fate. It is fitting that the method of internal elixirs should appear in the world from now on!"

"This monarch has already planted a spiritual seed for you just now. From now on, you will be able to transform magic power with essence, Qi, and spirit..."

Hearing this, Sima Chengzhen was full of ecstasy.

But immediately after, Lin Yu said indifferently: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy. In the illusion just now, you sank into magic power and divine ability, sank into that false freedom, so you did not pass this monarch's trial."

"According to the old system, this monarch cannot bestow the Great Dao, and can only lead you to the door."

"As for the subsequent art of internal elixirs, you still need to deduce it yourself..."

Hearing this, the ecstasy on Sima Chengzhen's face faded, replaced by deep regret and shame.

But he was Sima Chengzhen after all. In less than ten seconds, he had tidied up his mood, regarded this matter as a new round of testing, and said firmly: "The disciple will definitely not let the True Monarch down again!"

Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Good!"
