Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...
"Why does the Grandmaster ask such a question?"
Qin Yuan did not answer, but just murmured: "Sixty years..."
"Then, Taoist Priest, what is the purpose of your cultivation?"
Hearing this, Baopuzi was very puzzled. Of course, the purpose of practicing Taoism is to become an immortal and achieve immortality!
"Of course..."
Just about to answer.
Baopuzi paused abruptly.
No, no!
The ancestor is a celestial being, an immortal banished to the mortal world.
Why would you ask such a simple question?
The test is definitely a test!
This is definitely not the answer the ancestor wants to hear.
It is definitely a test of one's determination to pursue the Tao.
Maybe you can even order yourself to ascend to become an immortal!
Yes, yes, yes!
You can't give such a superficial answer.
But we can't offend the founder.
Baopuzi frowned, pondered for a long time, and replied, "I practice Taoism to cultivate my body and mind, to be pure and inaction, to return to the original nature, to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, and to comprehend the Way of Heaven."
Qin Yuan nodded, expressionless: "Then did the Taoist priest gain anything?"
Baopuzi fell silent again. This question was too open-ended, difficult to answer...
He thought for a long time before he tentatively said, "I have gained a deep understanding of the secrets of heaven and earth, and comprehended the thoughts of all living beings!"
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Yuan timidly.
I want to know how I answer.
No, Qin Yuan still had a sullen face and no expression.
Will this work? Give me a definite answer!
Baopuzi was a little panicked.
The matter of the "magic pill to increase production" has not been settled yet.
I haven’t learned the art of “chemistry” yet.
No matter who you offend, you must not offend the gentleman in front of you!
“Plop, plop—”
Baopuzi's heart almost jumped into his throat as he watched Qin Yuan's lips moving slightly.
"Has that Taoist priest ever seen anyone ascend to immortality?"
