Chapter: 5553

In their eyes, Long Qing True Person had indeed found the legendary elixir of immortality.

Daoist disciples are different from martial artists in that martial artists all enter the Dao through martial arts, but Daoist disciples enter the Dao through various means.

Within the Daoist tradition, there are also those who enter the Dao through martial arts, such as the Complete Reality Sect mentioned in wuxia novels, which is a model of entering the Dao through martial arts;

but aside from this, the Daoist tradition has multiple methods of entering the Dao, including using elixirs, talismans, divination, and even the art of avoiding calamities.

The Daoists at Longyun Observatory have been practicing for centuries, but because their cultivation and alchemy are not refined enough, they haven't produced any truly outstanding talents over the years.

Long Sheng Bo entered the gates of Longyun Observatory in the late 19th century and stayed there for nearly half a century until the early 20th century, where he diligently practiced unknown hundreds or thousands of times, simply to test his elixir, right up to the threshold of the gate of life, but ultimately failed to truly grasp the essence.

It was around that time that he decided to leave Longyun Observatory, giving up on the Daoist path and seeking another way.

Later, he coincidentally joined the Breakthrough Assembly and, with the help of his English mentor, grasped the essence of spiritual energy.

For so many years, he had returned to China several times under different identities, but never came back to Longyun Observatory.

He didn't come back because Long Sheng Bo didn't want the disciples and descendants of Longyun Observatory to know that he had already found the secret of immortality.

In his eyes, he was the only one who had suffered through countless hardships before finally entering the Dao, and this secret could not be revealed to anyone at Longyun Observatory.

Today, he chose to come back to Longyun Observatory because he couldn't find out what happened to Lin Wan'er for these few days.

His English mentor kept urging him to go to Jinling, but he delayed for three to five days before deciding to delay no more. He knew that his mentor would give him an ultimatum within two or three days.

So, he had to find some help to search for Lin Wan'er's whereabouts within the Chinese realm.

For many years, he had never fostered his own influence in the Breakthrough Assembly, so the only people he could rely on were the Daoists at Longyun Observatory.

Just then, he saw Qing Xu scattering people looking at him with eager anticipation. Qing Xu raised his head and expected an answer from him. Long Sheng Bo smiled indifferently and said to him, "Qing Xu, this isn't a place for talking. Is the private room in the back still available? If it is, let's move there and discuss further!"

Qing Xu hurriedly said, "It's still available! Please follow me, Master Long Qing!"

As the year went by, Qing Xu led the way and brought Long Sheng Bo to the underground secret room outside the back yard. His other fellow disciples also wanted to follow, but Long Sheng Bo suddenly started acting mysterious and vague at this moment.

He told Qing Xu, "Qing Xu, what we need to discuss is of great importance. Let's be cautious and talk it over between just the two of us first." Qing Xu didn't dare not to comply and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Master Long!"

Then he left the others outside the secret room and entered with Long Sheng Bo.

Inside the secret room, before Long Sheng Bo could even stand up straight, Qing Xu suddenly turned around and knelt down, respectfully saying, "Long Qing Teacher, I never thought I'd see you again in this lifetime! Please receive my disciple's bow!"

Long Sheng Bo stretched out his hand to help him up, smiling and said, "You may not be my biological disciple, but since you've been nurtured by me as a master and have received the teachings of my predecessor, in my eyes, you're just like one of my biological disciples."

Qing Xu was deeply moved and respectfully said, "Long Qing Teacher, why did you leave for so many years? Why didn't you come back to Longyun Observatory to take a look?"

Long Sheng Bo counter-questioned, "Aren't I already back now?"

"It's true, right?" Qing Xu nodded hastily and asked again, "Teacher Longqing, you... You've been away for so many years, didn't you experience anything? Please tell your disciple about it and take us along with you!" JrNovels.com
