Chapter 1 Introduction to the Dojo

After introducing the dojo, Immortal Xuanhu led Jiang Xuan and his group to Lieshan Courtyard. There weren't many rules here, and they were free to choose any of the blessed lands.

However, before that, Jiang Xuan found Immortal Xuanhu. After all, Immortal Qingfan had told him to go to the Baicao Hall to find her after arriving at the dojo, but the dojo was so large that he didn't know the exact location of the Baicao Hall, so naturally he had to ask Immortal Xuanhu.

"Baicao Hall? Very well, Junior Brother, come with me later, and I will take you to the Baicao Hall."

Immortal Xuanhu was very polite to Jiang Xuan. Immortal Qingfan had a special status in the dojo. Although she was still a Chunyang True Immortal, she had obtained the true inheritance of the Shennong Ancestor. She had achieved Chunyang through the Great Dao of Medicine, and now, within the dojo, apart from the Shennong Ancestor, she was probably the strongest in the Dao of pills.

It was precisely because of this that even some True Gods and Dao Ancestors within the Three Realms were willing to give Immortal Qingfan some face.

And Jiang Xuan, as Immortal Qingfan's disciple, was naturally worthy of their friendship.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Jiang Xuan thanked him politely, and Immortal Xuanhu also smiled, looking at Jiang Xuan and nodding with a bit of goodwill.

"Junior Brother, this place is exquisite and beautiful, and also secluded, it can be used as Junior Brother's residence in the courtyard. Junior Brother can directly place the portable cave abode here."

Immortal Xuanhu was quite enthusiastic towards Jiang Xuan. Although Jiang Xuan was also arranged in Lieshan Courtyard, they all knew that his status was not lower than theirs, and he would leave Lieshan Courtyard sooner or later, so they took the initiative to choose a secluded place for him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Jiang Xuan was also very satisfied with this place. It was better to be quiet, so as to avoid someone coming to bother him again.

After putting down his portable immortal abode, Jiang Xuan also summoned Immortal Youzhu and the others.

"Sister Youzhu, this is Lieshan Courtyard in the dojo. We will temporarily reside here. I will have to pay my respects to my Shifu later, so I will trouble you to take care of this place." Jiang Xuan said to Youzhu.

Seeming to think of something else, he looked at Immortal Xuanhu and asked, "Senior Brother, are there any taboos for followers in this dojo?"

"Hehe, I knew you would ask." Immortal Xuanhu said with a smile, then looked at Youzhu and the others, "It is your luck that you can follow Junior Brother into the dojo, so you must remember what I am about to say, and don't cause any trouble for Junior Brother."

"Yes." Youzhu and the five others said respectfully.

"Mm." Immortal Xuanhu nodded, "You are not much different from the many cultivators in Lieshan Courtyard, but you..."

Immortal Xuanhu spoke in great detail. There were many followers of powerful beings in the dojo, including some Heavenly Immortals.

Of course, Immortal Youzhu and the others were all brought by Jiang Xuan, and their realms were not high, so there was some difference in treatment. Compared with the disciples in Lieshan Courtyard, their biggest differences were only two: first, they could not enter the Heavenly Soldiers Realm, and second, they did not have the qualifications to listen to the Dao Ancestor's lectures.

Of course, it wasn't that they would never have the chance. As long as they could become Returning Void Earth Immortals, they would be qualified to listen to the Dao Ancestor's lectures.

"Do you understand?"

"We understand."

Youzhu and the five others said respectfully. Being able to cultivate in the Dao Ancestor's dojo was already a great opportunity. Now, they could also enter the Immortal Devil Palace and the Questioning Dao Pavilion, which was definitely a pleasant surprise for them.

This was also because at the level of Dao Ancestor, all living beings were equal, and they would be given a chance of survival. Treasure lands like the Immortal Devil Palace and the Questioning Dao Pavilion were specially prepared for them.

"Alright, Junior Brother, let's go." Immortal Xuanhu said to Jiang Xuan.

"Okay." Jiang Xuan nodded.

Under the guidance of Immortal Xuanhu, Jiang Xuan left Lieshan Courtyard and headed upstream along the Jiang River.

"The status of the Baicao Hall in the dojo is second only to the Renhuang Hall (Hall of the Human Emperor), the Shennong Hall, and the Luntao Hall (Debate Hall). It is located closest to the upper reaches. It is now managed by Uncle Qingfan. Junior Brother being able to become a disciple of Uncle Qingfan is truly remarkable."

As Immortal Xuanhu walked, he introduced things to Jiang Xuan. The Renhuang Hall was a symbol of the human race and a place where the Dao Ancestor lectured. Only the dojos of the Three Sovereigns could be established. The Shennong Hall was where the Shennong Ancestor usually resided. As for the Luntao Hall, it was where other Dao Ancestors discussed the Dao with the Shennong Ancestor.

These three places were the most core areas of the Shennong Dojo, located at the source of the Jiang River.

Below these were the Baicao Hall, the Shenxian Hall (Hall of Immortals), and other treasure lands managed by Heavenly Gods and True Immortals.

Jiang Xuan now also directly understood the special status of Immortal Qingfan. It was indeed a golden thigh, as he had thought.

"Senior Brother, you flatter me. I'm just lucky. There are many who are far more talented than I am." Jiang Xuan said. He really thought so.

Putting aside everything else, he knew that there was a monstrous genius under the Bodhi Dao Ancestor, who, as a mortal, could master the Dao of Ink Painting overnight! After only one year of cultivation, he had defeated a ninth-order puppet that even a Heavenly Immortal might not be able to defeat!

Now that person had become a Dao Ancestor. Compared to him, Jiang Xuan was indeed ordinary now.

"Junior Brother is too modest."

Immortal Xuanhu laughed. He had a very good impression of Jiang Xuan. He was humble and polite, much better than some of the disciples of powerful beings he had seen in the past.

The two chatted idly as they headed towards the Baicao Hall. Before long, they arrived at the upper reaches of the Jiang River, in one of the mountain ranges.

This mountain range was full of precious medicinal herbs and spiritual plants. Ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs were common here, and there were even many immortal medicines, emitting immortal light and circulating the Qi of longevity. If mortals ate them, they would probably be able to live forever.

Among these mountains, one could also see many living beings. They were disciples of the Baicao Hall who specialized in cultivating spiritual herbs, walking among the mountains, taking care of each precious medicinal herb.

And among the mountains and myriad medicines, there was also a solitary palace. This palace was not large, but it had a rich medicinal fragrance. Even just smelling it, Jiang Xuan felt that his own Yuan Power was more active.

"Junior Brother, I will take you here. Without Uncle Qingfan's permission, disciples are not allowed to enter the Baicao Hall." Immortal Xuanhu looked at the ancient palace, his eyes filled with longing. It was a pity that he didn't have much talent in alchemy, otherwise he would definitely come to this treasure land.

"Thank you for your help this time, Senior Brother." Jiang Xuan thanked him.

Immortal Xuanhu waved his hand and left directly. He couldn't stay here for long, and befriending Jiang Xuan was also beneficial to him. He might need to ask Jiang Xuan to refine pills for him in the future.

Jiang Xuan naturally understood this, but he didn't care. Having a pill-refining expert as his Shifu, he would have to refine pills sooner or later. He would just treat it as practice...

"Shifu, disciple Jiang Xuan has come to pay his respects."

Arriving in front of the hall, Jiang Xuan said respectfully. In front of powerful beings, he was always honest.

Rumble~

The palace door slowly opened, and a Daoist child walked out from within. He looked like a child of about ten years old, with pigtails tied up to the sky, looking quite cute, if not for his Returning Void Earth Immortal cultivation...

"Please come in, Uncle Jiang Xuan!"

The Daoist child said respectfully. He was just a Daoist child of the Baicao Hall, and Jiang Xuan was a disciple of Immortal Qingfan, so his seniority was naturally higher.

"...Okay."

Jiang Xuan followed him into the Baicao Hall. Compared to other palaces, the Baicao Hall was not large, but it also spanned hundreds of miles, with many pill-refining rooms, all of which were filled with immortal-grade pill furnaces. Some of them were tightly closed, and it seemed that someone was refining pills inside.

In addition, there were many places that were sealed. According to the Daoist child, they contained various great medicines and refined divine pills and miraculous medicines. Any one of them could be sold for a sky-high price.
