One hundred and forty or fifty years old?
Chu Mo was slightly shocked; it seemed that this Taoist priest Huang was indeed extraordinary.
Few ordinary people can live that long, so out of respect, he didn't use his divine sense to investigate the other party.
However, he could still sense the aura of a cultivator emanating from the other person.
It seems my gut feeling was right.
This might be the first cultivator he has encountered on Earth since he began cultivating.
Although masters of internal martial arts may look somewhat similar to cultivators, the two are actually quite different.
Internal martial arts also cultivate the Qi in the Dantian, but the method of cultivation is to use natural treasures and the essence of grains as nourishment to strengthen the Qi in the Dantian.
They are unable to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth and use it for their own benefit.
But cultivators are different.
Not only can it increase its cultivation level by utilizing rare and precious materials and elixirs.
Most importantly, their cultivation techniques allow them to directly absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth into their bodies.
Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, as long as you master the relevant techniques, you can even control the Five Elements and mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
That is, magic and supernatural powers.
For example, he is now able to use the Lesser Lightning spell.
Although the lightning bolt was only as thick as a thumb, its power was not particularly strong.
However, this kind of skill is something that even a master of internal martial arts could never possess in their entire life.
Moreover, the gap between the two will only widen as the game progresses.
He didn't know if cultivators on Earth were like him.
Are there many? And what about their strength?
Now that I'm so powerful, I'm attracting more attention. The more I know about the world's top combat forces, the more secure I am.
Seeing him lost in thought, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Chu Mo, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah, no, didn't Master Huang invite me to visit him? I'd like to see him after dinner."
"Okay, I'll go with you then. He's just a few miles away at Baima Temple."
Liu Ruyan didn't take it to heart.
However, Chen Xiuzhi, who was standing to the side, seemed to have remembered something and said uncertainly:
"I once heard an old man in the village say that when he was a child, he saw Master Huang lift a thousand-pound incense burner."
"Some people also say that Master Huang can not only fly over rooftops and walk on walls, but also draw talismans and catch ghosts."
After she finished speaking, she gave an awkward smile: "Of course, these are all rumors, and I have never seen them, but many people in the village believe them."
"My third uncle once said that when he was a child, Master Huang was about the same age as he is now. Over the years, he hasn't changed much. He's quite an extraordinary person."
After listening, Chu Mo became even more certain that Master Huang must be a cultivator.
After the meal.
He pulled Liu Ruyan along and drove directly to a majestic peak several miles away.
You can see it from afar; there's a cluster of ancient buildings on the mountaintop.
After parking at the foot of the mountain.
The two stepped through the mountain gate and climbed the ancient bluestone steps.
The Taoist temple occupies a large area, but not many people come to offer incense.
It may be because it is not well-known, or perhaps because there are too many Taoist temples in Shaanxi Province, so it is overlooked.
The environment is very elegant and quiet, with towering ancient trees that make people feel relaxed and happy.
Chu Mo looked surprised.
The spiritual energy here is noticeably richer than in other places.
Compared to the bustling city center, there are more than twice as many people here; this place is quite interesting.
Liu Ruyan was clearly familiar with this place, leading him through the Lingguan Hall and the Jade Emperor Hall...
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the Sanqing Hall at the top.
"Master, may I ask where Master Huang is now? My name is Chu Mo, and I have come to pay a visit as arranged."
Chu Mo stopped a middle-aged Taoist priest and politely inquired.
"Looking for Uncle Huang? Please follow me."
The middle-aged Taoist priest was slightly surprised. Many people sought out his master for medical treatment, but it was very rare for him to be invited by his master.
But he didn't ask any more questions and soon led the two to the outside of a hall.
"Uncle-Master, it is Layman Chu Mo who has come to pay a visit."
"Haha, welcome to our humble abode."
As the words fell, an elderly Taoist priest with white hair, dressed in a gray-blue robe, hurriedly came to the door to greet him.
He bowed to Chu Mo with a solemn and dignified expression.
The middle-aged Taoist priest who was leading the way was shocked. Although his uncle was approachable, there were not many people who could make him so respectful and polite.
Looking at Chu Mo now, their eyes suddenly filled with curiosity.
"Ruyan, I'd like to have a private conversation with your family's Master Chu. Is that alright?"
Master Huang stroked his white beard and laughed heartily as he joked.
"Taoist Master, if you want to talk to him, then go ahead. What do you mean by 'my family'?"
Liu Ruyan blushed and turned to Chu Mo, whispering:
"Then you and the Taoist priest have a good chat. I... I'll go wander around."
"Okay, I'll come find you in a bit."
Chu Mo smiled and nodded.
Presumably, there are some things that Master Huang doesn't want ordinary people to know. With Ruyan not around, it's certainly much easier to talk.
"This is where the old Taoist priest usually cultivates; it's rather simple, please don't mind, Layman Chu."
"Master Huang, you're too kind!"
Chu Mo followed the old Taoist priest into the hall and sat down as host and guest.
The middle-aged Taoist priest hurriedly served two more cups of fragrant tea before respectfully turning to leave.
After exchanging a few pleasantries over tea, the old Taoist priest got straight to the point with a smile:
"I suppose Layman Chu has many suspicions about this old Taoist priest, doesn't he?"
"Haha, Daoist Master, you have truly keen insight. Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore."
"I wonder what your current cultivation level is, Elder? Is White Horse Temple a cultivation sect?"
To be honest, Chu Mo was really curious about these questions.
"To my shame, I have been cultivating with my master since childhood, and after two cycles of sixty years and twenty years, I am only at the middle stage of Qi Refining."
