Taoist priests in the supernatural world

Chapter 63 The Feathered Immortal Guest, Returning to Reality

The two watched as the yellow and white figures gradually faded away until they completely disappeared into the mountain wind.

Xiao Jin stared wide-eyed at the empty space for a long while before asking in a low voice:

"Master, is this the Mountain God?"

Rong Bao remained standing there, his gaze lingering on the scene before him, as if he were still trapped in the moment.

"That's right."

"He is the mountain god, the teacher of western Hunan, a Taoist master, and a master alchemist."

Xiao Jin was stunned. He counted on his fingers and asked in confusion:

"So many people?"

Rongbao chuckled and flicked Rongbao's forehead lightly.

"There weren't that many people. From beginning to end, it was just one person."

Xiao Jin nodded as if she understood, then couldn't help but ask:

"Will we be able to see Grandpa Mountain God again?"

Rongbao looked down at him and reached out to rub his head.

There will be an opportunity.

But after saying that, a complex look appeared in his eyes.

Before leaving, Lao Yangren and Hua Ling specifically instructed him to keep the matter of the curse on Xiao Jin a secret and never let the child embark on the path of tomb raiding and pearl hunting again.

Even a brilliant and talented individual like Partridge Whistle, who traveled the world and faced countless life-or-death situations, still found no resolution.

It would be better to stay in the Miao village and live a peaceful life.

Anyway, with that prescription, at least we can prolong his life a bit longer. Living to over sixty is not a short time.

Thinking of this, Rong Bao sighed slightly.

"Let's go."

As the sun set, the mountain path turned a dim yellow, casting long shadows of the two figures that slowly disappeared at the end of the path leading down the mountain.

……

Inside the ancient temple.

The Heavenly Decree suddenly appeared, its golden light illuminating the entire ancient temple.

The yellow and white figure slowly coalesced from the light and reappeared in the temple.

The first thing he did upon returning was to go to the mirror.

The person in the mirror had a weathered look, with extremely long hair and a beard that reached all the way to his chest, making him look almost like a wild man.

Huang Bai stared at himself in the mirror, remained silent for a moment, and then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I never imagined that this training would last for twelve years."

Twelve years.

In a previous life, that would have been enough for a child to grow from birth to adulthood and be able to stand on their own.

Now, if we consider the timeline, I'm a middle-aged person in my forties.

"The missions ahead may only be longer."

Twelve years can pass in the blink of an eye, so it's not impossible that twenty, thirty, or even a hundred years will pass in the future.

Huang Bai put aside these thoughts and took out a crystal-clear pill.

This elixir is a translucent pure white color, with purple mist inside, resembling rolling clouds or flowing nebulae. Upon closer inspection, it even vaguely resembles a spirit bird about to take flight.

"Mica Immortal Ascension Pill".

To refine this elixir, Huang Bai spent a full twelve years, even using the inner elixir of the Five Lingzhi as a medicinal guide, and finally succeeded in refining the inner elixir.

【Mica Immortal Ascension Pill】: Consuming this pill will grant eternal youth and the ability to obtain the power of cloud energy, which will be continuous and enduring.

The first time he received the elixir, he gained bird eyes and bird feathers, and his lifespan was increased by sixty years.

The second time he received the elixir, his arms, wings, and beak were restored, and his lifespan was extended by one hundred and twenty years.

The third time he received the Elixir of Immortality, he was granted an additional 180 years of lifespan.

In terms of potential alone, this elixir far surpasses the Five Ganoderma Inner Elixir.

Without further hesitation, Huang Bai swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Not eating is not an option. The inner core has been almost depleted, and without new core energy to support it, future spells, Yin soldiers, and talismans will be greatly diminished.

The next moment, the world spun around and the scene changed.

Vast, boundless clouds surged from Penglai in the East Sea, like a white ribbon across the sky, or the Milky Way hanging upside down.

High above, amidst the swirling winds, white cranes descend from the azure sky, their wings flapping across the void, their clear cries piercing the clouds and echoing throughout the boundless fairyland.

Huang Bai looked down and realized that he had transformed into that white crane.

With wings outstretched, I soared through the wind, a vast sea of ​​clouds beneath my feet, the world utterly empty, and all the mountains, ancient temples, and other realms receded into the distance.

Carefree.

Be at ease.

It was as if if they flew just one more step forward, they could stay in this fairyland forever, no longer concerned with the strife of the mortal world.

It was an indescribable sense of freedom, a state where the very soul was immersed in the moment, as if it had finally returned to the place it was meant to be.

If one were to remain trapped in this state forever, it wouldn't seem so bad.

Wow!

Just then, a cold, human-like glint flashed in Bai He's eyes.

"wrong."

As soon as this warning sign appeared, the ethereal sea of ​​clouds before them began to fluctuate violently.

Wow!

Then another dizzying sensation struck.

Huang Bai suddenly opened his eyes and returned to the ancient temple.

He immediately went to the mirror.

The beard in the mirror was gone, and his face had returned to its original appearance, but in its place was a completely new and strange sight.

Two wisps of white feathers grew upwards from his temples, making them appear as if his temples were frosted with white, adding to his otherworldly and otherworldly air.

Huang Bai focused his attention and looked again, his pupils subtly contracting, transforming into pure gold vertical pupils like those of a bird.

"I almost fell for their trick."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Huang Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

This external alchemy practice is indeed fraught with hidden dangers.

If I had indulged in this moment any longer, I fear I would have truly become like that white crane in the sea of ​​clouds, losing my mind and becoming oblivious to the passage of time.

He blinked, and after a moment's understanding, he realized the benefits of this extraordinary phenomenon of the Elixir of Immortality.

"Distant vision, night vision, the ability to see ghosts..."

"It's not bad."

This is the first extraordinary phenomenon of the Mica Immortal Ascension Pill.

The deeper one cultivates, the more white feathers will grow on one's body, and one's arms will gradually transform into wings, with a bird's beak appearing on one's face.

However, Huang Bai didn't pay much attention to this change.

Because by the third time the elixir is restored, these external phenomena will be further subdued, eventually transforming into feathered robes and returning to normal human form.

"Looking at it this way, he really does resemble the White Crane Boy."

Huang Bai couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of the white crane boy.

If they meet again in the future, the other person might actually think of them as one of their own kind.

With a thought, the white feathers at his temples and the golden vertical pupils in his eyes disappeared instantly, and his appearance returned to normal.

This is also the wondrous use of illusion brought about by the mica inner elixir.

It's perfect for concealing your heels.

"This trip has been quite fruitful."

Huang Bai walked slowly to the incense table, only to find that two unlit incense sticks had appeared on the table at some point.

One stick comes from the incense of the Heavenly Path Temple in the zombie world, while the other clearly belongs to the Ghost Blows Out the Light world.

Huang Bai picked up the two incense sticks, and the corresponding information immediately came to mind.

【Return to the Dust Incense】: Light this incense and return to the original world of the temple master for one day.

【Ember Incense】: Light this incense and choose any world you have experienced in the past to restart a new Heavenly Decree.

"Back to the real world?"

Huang Bai held the incense stick in his hand, his gaze shifting slightly.

Given his original lifestyle, it's estimated that very few people would actually realize he's missing.

The reason he dared to risk his life time and time again back then may not have been without a sense of self-abandonment.

His parents each started new families, and he was like a shadow pushed to the margins.

After adulthood, we contact each other less and less, and whether we are alive or dead, it seems that it doesn't cause much of a stir.

"Go and see the modern world today, it's a way to change your mindset."

Huang Bai put away the Returning Dust Incense and glanced at the Ember Incense again.

This incense stick is more interesting.

There aren't many worlds you can actually go back to.

What's truly worth revisiting is the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light.

There were also the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, the Muchen Pearl, the Dragon Talisman, and other precious treasures, as well as his own rooster.

Continuing with Ghost Blows Out the Light is naturally the best choice.

"Let's go and see the real world first."

Yellow and white incense sticks are lit to ward off evil spirits.

Wisps of smoke rose, gradually transforming into a thin wisp of blue cloud that enveloped him entirely.

Huang Bai felt his consciousness lighten, his thoughts being drawn upward by the green smoke, and then suddenly plummeted.

Wow!

When I opened my eyes again, the world had changed.

The surrounding area was filled with jagged rocks and overgrown weeds. In the distance, there were undulating mountain ranges. The mountain wind howled, making people's clothes flutter and even their eyes unable to open.

Huang Bai recognized the place after just one glance.

"The Aotai Line?"

A thought struck him.

I'm really back.

Looking at the lush green mountains, it was no longer the season when I left.

Immediately afterwards, several whispers came from afar.

"Hey, that person is so weird, wearing a Taoist robe for hiking, is he treating this place like a tourist attraction?"

"Is it for making short videos?"

"You know what, his clothes actually look pretty decent..."

A hundred meters away, three people in full outdoor gear were resting while peeking in their direction.

The mountain wind was strong, and although they thought they were speaking in a low voice, every word was clearly heard by Huang Bai.

Huang Bai walked over.

Seeing him actually approach, the three men became somewhat uneasy. One of them chuckled dryly and was about to greet him when Huang Bai spoke up directly:

"Excuse me, what year is it now?"

All three of them were stunned for a moment.

One of them answered instinctively:

"April 2026."

"It's been three years..."

Huang Bai muttered something to himself, then looked at the three of them with a rather wicked smile.

Thanks.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he took a step forward and leaped straight off the cliff.

Holy crap!

"Hello!!"

"Someone jumped off a cliff!!"

The three were terrified and scrambled to the edge of the cliff, only to see the sea of ​​clouds churning below. The figures lightly touched the ground and disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace of the yellow and white figures.

The mountain wind howled, and the sky and earth were vast and empty.

The three stood there, their faces pale, and for a long time no one uttered a complete sentence.

After a long while, someone finally murmured:

"Goodness gracious...did I just...encounter something supernatural?"
