Chapter 82 The Legendary Great-Uncle Master

Above the gate of Quanzhen Dongtian Mountain, above the 2,500th step, Qiao Yuanshan could no longer go up.

Four-dimensional Go, this thing is enough to drive people crazy.

Qiao Yuanshan finally gave up.

Mathematics and Go are the things that require the least effort. If you don’t have enough talent, it’s useless no matter how hard you try.

Qiao Yuanshan now feels a little emotional. Those two Quanzhen Sect predecessors must have been perverts to be able to get into such a situation.

Looking at the blue mud stone slabs scattered in the mountains, Qiao Yuanshan knew that this step was a natural barrier and there was no way he could go up.

"Master, I give up!"

Qiao Yuanshan stood at the highest point and spoke to the master of Taiyi Peak at the foot of the mountain.

The old Taoist priest who was standing at the foot of the mountain with his eyes closed like a stone statue opened his eyes, waved at Qiao Yuanshan, and said, "Then come down!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuanshan walked down the mountain. This time, there were no more chess games or strange things happening on the stone slab, and he walked down quickly.

After descending the mountain, Qiao Yuanshan sighed, "Master, the chess game above is too difficult. I wonder how the Quanzhen Sect masters managed to pass it."

The old Taoist priest Longxuzi smiled and said, "Reaching 2,500 levels is not easy. Throughout the history of the Quanzhen Sect, almost all of them started as entry-level disciples. Only the truly outstanding ones can enter the sect directly. You and I are just ordinary people."

"Too."

Qiao Yuanshan smiled and said that he had no aversion to being ordinary.

His father once said that being ordinary is a blessing, and he deeply agrees with it.

"However, Quanzhen also has a genius this time, and you may meet him."

The old Taoist priest Longxuzi said with a smile.

Qiao Yuanshan asked, "Is there really anyone who has reached the summit?"

The old Taoist priest Longxuzi said: "If that great-grandmaster comes, it will probably be easy to level nine thousand."

"Uncle-master?" Qiao Yuanshan was stunned.

How did the discussion suddenly turn to a great-grandmaster?

As if knowing his doubts, the old Taoist priest explained, "He is the descendant of Lü Zu from the Chunyang lineage. It is said that he has the talent of a god."

"According to seniority, even I have to honestly call you Grandmaster Uncle."

"He is a great man of our Quanzhen generation, and the one who is most qualified to become an immortal in this hundred years."

Qiao Yuanshan understood a little bit. This great-grandmaster uncle was probably not very old, but because he was the descendant of Lu Zu from a different generation, he was the younger brother of the founder of Quanzhen, Chongyang Zhenren, according to seniority, so everyone had to call him great-grandmaster uncle.

Qiao Yuanshan smiled and said, "That's probably someone I need to look up to!"

The old Taoist priest smiled and looked at Qiao Yuanshan and said:

"You are in a very good mood. This is the first time in all these years that I have seen someone give up on their own initiative. Many people will wait on the 9,000th level until the end even if they cannot climb up."

"Contentment is a blessing, and self-knowledge is wisdom." Qiao Yuanshan replied.

"Well said! Since you are not going to climb these nine thousand steps anymore, then just have a chat with me, an old Taoist priest!" The old Taoist priest seemed to like Qiao Yuanshan's character very much.

In the following ten days, Qiao Yuanshan and the old Taoist priest chatted at the foot of the mountain. If someone went up the mountain gate, the old Taoist priest would send them to climb the stairs after explaining, and then continue chatting with Qiao Yuanshan.

The content of the chat was also varied, some about the Quanzhen Sect and some about other Taoist sects.

Qiao Yuanshan thought it was quite interesting.

The two of them spent ten days like this.

During these ten days, no one surpassed Qiao Yuanshan's score of 2,500. Most people got stuck in three-dimensional Go, and were even more speechless when it came to four-dimensional Go.

What are all these!

But everyone’s choice was different from Qiao Yuanshan’s. They chose to continue fighting to the death.

Finally, when the tenth day arrived, the first batch of disciples was recruited.

However, these two golden bridges are still there. If anyone wants to become a disciple, they can continue to try.

As long as you cross the two golden bridges, Quanzhen Sect will still accept disciples.

Inside the Dongtian Mountain Gate, a jade token floated up in the air beside the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest, Longxuzi, stretched out his hand and lightly touched the jade token.

People on the steps up and down the mountain woke up from their assessment state one after another.

"My fellow laymen, the time has come. It seems that no one can become a disciple directly this time. If you have no objection, please follow me to Chongyang Hall to formally join my Quanzhen Sect."

Everyone was somewhat unwilling, but they had no objection. Hadn't they rushed to Zhongnan Mountain from thousands of miles away just to wait for this moment?

How could I refuse at this time?

Seeing that no one refused, the old Taoist priest waved his sleeves and jumped.

More than thirty people followed the old Taoist priest into the air and flew directly over nine thousand steps. After crossing the steps, the whole world seemed to become vaster in an instant.

It’s like entering into another world.

Several mountain peaks are suspended in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist.

Below the mountain is a lake as smooth as a mirror, so calm that there is not a single ripple.

Green mountains, white cranes, floating clouds and flowing water.

Fairyland is just like this.

More than thirty people followed the old Taoist priest and flew to the top of the mountain in the middle, entering a vermilion hall.

In the main hall, there are seven cushions placed in front of four Taoist statues, which are Wang Chongyang, Lü Dongbin, Laozi, and Zhongli Quan (also known as Han Zhongli).

There were people sitting on the six cushions, and more than ten Taoists stood on both sides.

After entering the hall, more than thirty people were placed on top of it.

The old Taoist priest who claimed to be the master of Taiyi Peak, Longxuzi, landed on the empty cushion above.

"Master, all the disciples who are about to enter the sect have arrived."

"Let's get started."

The old Taoist priest sitting at the top said slowly.

The initiation ceremony is divided into three parts: paying homage to the teacher, changing clothes, and receiving precepts.

According to Quanzhen, it is the "Zhi Meng Rules" and "The Order of Hairpins and Wearing Clothes", and the etiquette is extremely complicated.

In the main hall, everyone was divided into seven teams and each team became a disciple of the seven people sitting on the cushions.

This took half a day. According to the rules of Quanzhen Sect, they were still entry-level disciples and could enter the cave to listen to and ask questions, but they had to practice in Zhongnan Mountain to the point of refining qi and returning to the spirit before they could truly become inner disciples.

The order of the brothers is based on their level of achievement on the 9,000th level.

So, Qiao Yuanshan became the eldest senior brother.

The disciples all came to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for being the first on the Youngsters List."

"Youngsters Ranking?"

Qiao Yuanshan was a little confused.

"It's the list published by the Ming Dynasty, which ranks you as the most promising person among those who have successfully become apprentices in the world."

"This is an officially recognized list, it's incredible!"

"In an era of rising geniuses, Senior Brother can be considered the number one genius."

………

Qiao Yuanshan didn't pay attention to the list, but instead looked at the names of the people on the list.

Know-it-all.

Qiao Yuanshan remembered that when he was chatting with his master at the foot of the mountain, his master Long Xuzi said that among the ten people in the world who should not be offended, the first one was Bai Xiaosheng.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, it's just a potential list. Cultivation is the right way."

Qiao Yuanshan replied with a smile.

Instead, the tall woman came up and looked at Qiao Yuanshan seriously and said, "Although I, Zhao Yan, am the second place, I will definitely surpass you, Senior Brother."

"Yeah, good luck to you then!"

Qiao Yuanshan nodded, then turned and walked towards Taiyi Peak.

The era of great contention began, and Wen Zhengming's list of 100 young people sent them all to the arena.

Thanks to Luo Changhe for 125 starting coins, Leng Qingfu for 100 starting coins, Meng Huimeng for 100 starting coins, Shi Tou for 200 starting coins, I Huang Tiandi I for 100 starting coins, Guess Who I Am for 500 starting coins, Da Fuyanjia for 500 starting coins, Buzou Tuanlu 588 book coins, and KINGDS. Chuan Jianguo for 100 book coins!
