Yang Jian bid farewell to the Emperor of Feng Du and returned to the Yang Realm. He immediately let the people of the school inspect the students to see if there were any who had passable aptitude and temperament.
If there were, Yang Jian was prepared to take in a few in-name disciples and pass down the ability to ferry souls.
Of course, since Yang Jian had taken him in as a disciple, even if it was only in name, he would also pass down the cultivation methods and Dao protection methods that should be passed down, in addition to the ability to ferry souls.
....
Cultivation did not count the years. Thirty years passed quickly.
These 30 years could be said to be endless good news for Yang Jian.
First, the cultivation of the Chan School immortals who had refined the Yellow Middle Plum in Kunlun Mountain had recovered.
At the same time, Yun Zhongzi, the second-generation disciple who didn't lose his cultivation in the God Deification Ceremony, had successfully cut his corpse and entered the Sage-to-be Realm.
Secondly, Yang Jian had already harvested a batch of the Connate Spiritual Root Comprehension Tea Tree that he had obtained from the Emperor of Fengdu that day. However, the production was limited. He had only harvested less than a catty of a tea tree.
Third, the five in-name disciples that Yang Jian had taken in from the academy had already left to establish their own dojos in various places to help the souls of the dead and spread the branches of Yang Jian's lineage.
At the same time, the first batch of students had already graduated, and among them, there were hundreds of them who had developed very well among the mortals. Now, the name of Guanjiang Academy had spread among the mortals.
Of course, the other students were not bad either, but they were a little worse than the top batch.
Yang Ming, a student of the school, naturally had students from other places coming to study. Yang Jian had no objections to this. As long as he passed the assessment, he could enter the school. However, some core things would only be passed down unless he joined Chan School through special inspection.
Finally, the Guanjiang River was now in good weather, and the people were rich.
Fortunately, Yang Jian had set an upper limit on the amount of land that was allowed to be owned, so the area within a thousand miles of the Guanjiang Eatery had become densely populated.
Many of the people from the outside saw that there was no land at the mouth of the river, so they decided to settle down at the edge of the river.
As such, Yang Jian's incense offerings were naturally very rich.
However, Yang Jian had yet to find a suitable way to use these incense sticks.
This was because Yang Jian was worried that there would be repercussions after absorbing the incense, such as karma.
On this day, a vast amount of purple qi came from the east and headed towards Hangu Pass.
Seeing this, Yang Jian understood in his heart that the matter of turning many treasures into Buddha was a foregone conclusion. With Laozi's westward journey, the hundred schools of thought would bloom together, and the curtain of the world of great struggle would be opened.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Jian used the golden light and walked towards Hangu Pass because the big boss was going to teach the Tao Te Ching at Hangu Pass.
"Now, there aren't many opportunities to listen to a big shot like me preach. I won't be chased away if I go and skip class.
Not long after, Yang Jian arrived at Hangu Pass. A middle-aged man in an official robe was building a straw hut.
Seeing this, Yang Jian ignored him and found a place nearby to sit cross-legged and wait.
This time, Yang Jian came to Hangu Pass just to get a free lesson. As for stopping him from becoming a Buddha?
Don't think too much. That was impossible. How could Yang Jian change the decision of a Saint?
What right do you have to make me give up the merit that I'm about to obtain?
It was fine if he just skipped class, but there was no need to do something that was thankless.
Yang Jian waited in front of Hangu Pass for several days before Laozi finally arrived.
When the middle-aged official saw his father riding the green bull, he immediately went forward to welcome him.
"Disciple Yi Xi of Hangu Pass pays his respects to the Sage!”
Yang Jian naturally went up to greet him." Disciple Yang Jian greets Martial Granduncle!”
Laozi said indifferently,"Get up!"”
"Thank you, Martial Granduncle (Saint)!"
Seeing Yang Jian and the official stand up, Laozi asked the official," How did you know that I am a Saint?”
"I observed the celestial phenomena a few days ago and saw purple clouds coming from the east for 3,000 miles, heading straight for Hangu Pass, so I built a hut here to wait.”
Laozi nodded and then asked Yang Jian," Why are you here instead of at Guanjiang Mouth?”
Yang Jian replied," I saw purple qi coming to Hangu Pass, so I came to see if there was any chance.”
Laozi looked at Yang Jian meaningfully." It seems that there is a reason why you can reach your current state."
This venerable self is heading west. Only the two of you have come to see this venerable self.
Forget it! I'll give you an opportunity. Follow me!"
After Laozi finished speaking, he rode the green bull straight to the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, Yang Jian quickly followed.
However, just as Yang Jian moved, he remembered Yi Xi and brought him along.
This was because Laozi was lecturing on Yi Xi, and Yang Jian was just a freeloader.
If the main lecturer wasn't here, then what class was there?
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, they saw Laozi sitting on the back of the green bull.
Seeing that Yang Jian had brought Yi Xi over, Laozi said," Yi Xi, you and I are fated. I want to take you in as an in-name disciple. Are you willing?"”
"Disciple is willing! Disciple Yi Xi greets teacher!" Yi Xi replied happily.
"Alright, you guys take a seat. This venerable self will give a lecture for you all. How much you can gain depends on you all.”
Seeing this, Yang Jian immediately said," Martial Granduncle, please wait. How can Martial Granduncle not have tea to serve when he is speaking?”
As he spoke, Yang Jian took out a teapot and brewed a pot of tea with dew.
He first served a cup to his father, then handed a cup to Yi Xi.
Laozi took the tea." You're lucky! I didn't expect to obtain such a spiritual root."
Then Laozi said to Yi Xi,"With the help of your Martial Nephew's item, I think you should have a great harvest this time."”
Yi Xi turned to Yang Jian and said,"Thank you, Martial Nephew!"”
Yang Jian waved his hand and said,"Uncle-Master, you don't have to thank me! It was thanks to Martial Uncle that he was able to have such a fortuitous encounter today.”
"Alright, drink your tea and sit down to listen!”
Hearing this, Yang Jian immediately drank some tea and sat on the ground, waiting for Laozi to start.
"The Dao can be Dao, but it is not the same Dao…"
After Laozi finished reading the Tao Te Ching, he didn't say anything else.
After a while, Yang Jian and Yi Xi woke up from their dazed state.
After checking his realm, Yang Jian was pleasantly surprised to discover that his realm had unknowingly reached the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
Then, Yang Jian stood up and said,"Thank you for your lecture, Martial Uncle. I'll take my leave!"”
"Okay, you go!"
After Yang Jian left, Laozi imparted some divine arts to Yi Xi and then continued westward.
