I'm The Only True Immortal In The World.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Failing to Recognize a True Person

A fluorescent light is dazzling.

However, in the eyes of Zhu Daxian and Xiaoli, Fang Yi was far more dazzling than any light—by tens of thousands of times.

This young man before them had reached the Celestial Realm at such a young age, possessing immense supernatural powers. If word got out, the entire Taoist sect would be in an uproar.

Fang Yi secretly chuckled at the awe in their eyes.

He certainly hadn't reached the transcendent realm of creating a world with a single thought.

Even the so-called shock he had just displayed was nothing but an illusion.

The illusion he had learned from the remnant bio-energy field of that horror novelist seemed magical, but in reality, it was nothing special.

Even the water droplets and pavilion pillars that Xiaoli touched were all sensory experiences; the bio-energy field told her these things were real, but she hadn't actually moved.

It was just that Zhu Daxian and Xiaoli, with their mortal eyes, couldn't see through the mystery and thought Fang Yi had truly used supernatural powers, taking them on a journey through thousands of miles of lakes and endless starry skies.

Master Zhu and his apprentice Xiaoli were stunned for a long time. Although they had long heard of the miraculous deeds of the ancient immortals, they still needed time to digest what they had experienced firsthand.

It wasn't until a car horn sounded outside that they suddenly snapped out of their daze and realized that the young man standing before them was an enlightened immortal with boundless magical power and great supernatural abilities!

Master Zhu dared not be as rude as before. He quickly stepped forward, bowed to Fang Yi, and said, "Zhu Changqing greets Immortal Fang. My ancestor, Zhu Si, was a disciple of Zhang Daoxiu, a disciple of Hu Fengzi, the abbot of the Xuanmiao Temple of the Zhengyi Shenxiao Sect. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Xiaoli secretly guessed that although someone with such earth-shattering cultivation as Fang Yi looked young, he was very likely an ancient monster who had lived for hundreds of years, only appearing so young due to his great supernatural powers and methods of preserving his youth.

Sure enough, Fang Yi "confirmed" her guess, "I have no sect or school. I had the opportunity to inherit the Taoist lineage of Mr. Chen Pu, a Taoist priest from the late Tang and Five Dynasties period. I guess you could call it the Neidan school."

Xiao Li secretly clicked her tongue, thinking to herself, "You've lived from the late Tang and Five Dynasties period to the present day. Aren't you over a thousand years old?"

Hmm, she had misunderstood. She thought Fang Yi was born in the late Tang and Five Dynasties period, which is why he inherited Chen Pu's Taoist lineage.

Zhu Changqing's pupils contracted. "It is said that Mr. Chen Pu received his teachings from Zhongli Quan, making him a senior figure in Taoism. Mr. Chen Pu was also a contemporary of the Pure Yang Immortal. As his successor, your seniority is truly..."

Fang Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Although I received my teachings from Mr. Chen Pu, we don't have a master-disciple relationship. Besides, I am still young. You don't need to use Taoist seniority to determine seniority."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

Zhu Changqing was extremely respectful. Taoism still places great importance on seniority. Even though he was not a Taoist now, he was born into a Taoist family, and the rules had been passed down through generations. Of course, he wouldn't dare to break the rules. Moreover, the cultivation level that Fang Yi had just displayed was truly terrifying. He was practically the immortal who could lift up heaven and earth and control yin and yang, as described in myths and legends. He wouldn't dare to be disrespectful even if he had ten thousand lives.

He even felt a wave of fear when he thought about his rudeness to Fang Yi earlier. Fortunately, the True Man Fang was magnanimous. If it had been someone with a bad temper, he probably would have been killed twice over.

At the same time, Zhu Changqing finally understood what Fang Yi meant when he said, "How could mere birth dates and divination charts predict the life, aging, sickness, and death of a true immortal?" This person had already "attained immortality," how could a mortal predict his lifespan?

It was utterly ridiculous.

Fang Yi had no idea what the other was thinking, and simply said, "Now, Great Immortal Zhu, do you believe I'm not here to cause trouble?"

Zhu Changqing chuckled awkwardly, "I was blind to your greatness." He added, "True immortal, I am unworthy of the title 'Great Immortal' before you. If you would be so kind as to call me Little Zhu, that

's fine." Xiao Li, who had been silent the whole time, just looked at Fang Yi, this "thousand-year-old monster," with curious eyes. She truly couldn't understand how someone could live so long and maintain such a youthful appearance.

Fortunately, Fang Yi was unaware of her thoughts, otherwise he would have been furious. He was only in his twenties, yet he was being treated like a thousand-year-old monster?

“You are older than me, so I will still call you Mr. Zhu.” Fang Yi paused for a moment, then continued, “I have come here not to play tricks on you, nor to show off my supernatural powers, but to ask Mr. Zhu for a favor.”

Zhu Changqing said, “Please tell me what it is, Master. I will do anything within my power.”

Xiao Li was also very curious. How could a master like Fang Yi, with such supernatural powers, need a favor from her master?

Fang Yi slowly said, “I have only recently attained enlightenment and am not very proficient in the mysteries of magic. I have heard that Mr. Zhu’s ancestors could summon wind and rain and possessed great supernatural powers. Therefore, I would like to ask to see your family’s magic. I wonder if this is presumptuous?”

If an ordinary person made this request, Zhu Changqing would definitely have refused. How could he lend his family’s secret techniques to an outsider?

But the person making this request was the master Fang, who possessed great supernatural powers, so Zhu Changqing hesitated for a moment.

He thought for a moment and said, "Master, I can't make the decision on this matter. My father is still alive, and he is in charge of the magic passed down from our ancestors. Why don't you come back with me, and I'll ask my father before giving you an answer?"

As he spoke, Zhu Changqing seemed to have thought of something and added, "Actually, I've read that ancient book many times and even tried to cultivate it, but it had no effect at all. My father also said that because of certain events that happened in the Ming Dynasty, it's impossible for anyone to cultivate magical powers now, let alone achieve enlightenment like you. So I'm not sure if the family's magic can really be used. You'd better not have too high expectations."

Yes!

The other party really has family magic!

Fang Yi was overjoyed, but his words remained calm. "Actually, I don't have high expectations. I just want to try and see if it works."

"Since you don't have high expectations, it's much easier." Zhu Changqing smiled as well. "Alright, I'll close the shop now and take you back to see my father. Xiao Li, bring the car."

"Okay, Master."

Xiao Li obediently went out to drive.

After about three minutes, a red car pulled up in front of the shop.

Zhu Changqing quickly took out an umbrella to hold over Fang Yi, saying, "Sir, the car's here."

Fang Yi thanked him, and after Zhu Changqing locked the door, the two got into the car together.

Inside the car.

It slowly drove towards Laodong Road.

Xiao Li, in the driver's seat, frequently stole glances at Fang Yi through the rearview mirror.

Zhu Changqing noticed and said speechlessly, "Xiaoli, can you concentrate on driving? It's rush hour, don't hit someone again."

Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and said, "I've never seen someone as amazing as Master Fang before, so I wanted to take a closer look."

Fang Yi was amused by her and said, "I'm no different from ordinary people, just two eyes and a mouth, not three heads and six arms."

"No, Master Fang," Xiaoli's eyes were full of admiration, "Although you don't have three heads and six arms, the magic you just used was even more amazing than that. If I could learn even a move or two from you, I'd be rich."

She had previously wanted to call the police to drive Fang Yi away, but now she was full of praise.

Seeing his apprentice constantly "monopolizing" Fang Yi, Zhu Changqing said irritably, "I told you to drive properly, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Then, turning to Fang Yi, he abruptly changed the subject, "Hey, Master Fang, do you have any rules for accepting apprentices? Is it okay if they're older? Like someone my age."

Xiao Li: "..."

Anyone could understand what he meant.

Fang Yi was also dumbfounded, casually replying, "I don't have any intention of accepting apprentices yet."

Xiao Li and Zhu Changqing were extremely disappointed, thinking that their previous unfriendly words had left a bad impression on Fang Yi, causing them to miss out on this "destined connection."

At this moment, they were filled with regret. If they had known Fang Yi possessed such supernatural powers, they should have been more polite from the beginning.

But before Fang Yi displayed his supernatural abilities, who would have known he was a true immortal?

Xiao Li and Zhu Changqing finally understood what "a true immortal doesn't reveal their true nature" meant, and they couldn't help but sigh inwardly, regretting their ignorance.
