Orthodox Transmission System

  Three people followed the Taoist to the courtyard, but the scene in front of them made Bai Yu take a surprise. The courtyard was filled with stone tables and chairs, and the whole courtyard was full of people who were chatting and laughing in twos and threes, although their clothes were different styles, but it couldn't stop their communication.

  At this time, the young Taoist who was leading the way in front laughed and said: "Alright, everyone, you can just find a place to sit casually, I still have to go pick up other people."

  Mizuki smiled and nodded, then let him go.

  At this time, Shui Mu turned his head and said to Bai Yu: "Fellow Taoist, since you've arrived at the place, go find your Maoshan people. It's better for your master not to worry about you."

  Bai Yu heard this and smiled, saying: "Alright then, let's meet again."

  Bai Yu then bid farewell to the father and daughter of Mizuki, and began to wander aimlessly in the courtyard. He didn't know anyone here, and if he had to find an organization, he really wouldn't know where to start. The only person he knew was Liu Zhengguang, but he didn't know if he had arrived yet.

  Helpless, he sat down somewhere.

  The place where Bai Yu sat had three people who were already there, chatting and laughing. When they saw Bai Yu sit down, one of them smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, have you just arrived? Why don't you join us for a chat?"

  Bai Yu smiled politely and said, "Alright, fellow Taoist, I don't know what you were just discussing?" The few people sitting together were all very young, none of them over thirty years old.

  The person who spoke earlier laughed and said: "Why don't we introduce ourselves first? Otherwise, it won't be convenient for us to chat."

  Several people nodded in agreement. The man began by saying: "I am a Taoist from Mount Hua, my name is Ma Hui."

  One person beside him also smiled and said: "I am a Taoist of Laoshan, named Liu Jin."

  "A Taoist of Zhengyi sect, named Li Yin."

  Ma Hui's face suddenly showed a hint of envy, and he flattered: "A true Taoist, that is one of the two main streams of Taoism today, Brother Dao's future is boundless."

  Li Yin seemed a bit pleased with himself, but humbly said, "No, no."

  The two of them flattered each other for a while, and then Ma Hui saw the gaze turn to him and asked Bai Yu: "It's this Daoist friend's turn now. Looking at the clothes you're wearing, they seem to be ordinary people's attire. I suppose you shouldn't be from the Orthodox Sect?"

  Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm also a Fa Xiu, my name is Bai Yu, belonging to the Mao Shan Sect." As soon as Bai Yu's words fell, the others were shocked and curiously sized him up like they were looking at a giant panda. This made Bai Yu somewhat bewildered.

  "What's wrong?" asked Bai Yu in doubt.

  Ma Hui shook his head and smiled, "Not really, but the Taoist priests of Mao Mountain are rarely seen here. In all these years, only the leader of Mao Mountain, Mao Daozhang, has appeared..." But he didn't continue with what he was going to say next.

  Upon hearing this, he seemed to be deep in thought. It appears that Mount Mao has indeed declined. In the past, Mount Mao was one of the five major branches of Taoism and was very prosperous, but now it has fallen to become a small sect.

  At this time, Ma Hui said again: "I don't know if you know that in the current cultivation world, is there still a young fellow practitioner who has reached the boundary? In this late stage of the Dharma era, it's really not easy to reach the legendary boundary. Condensing even a single thread of spiritual power is extremely difficult. I started cultivating at a young age and now I'm still only at the foundation-building stage."

  Liu Jin nodded in agreement: "In this Dharma-ending era, it's really hard on us Dharma cultivators. If we were in ancient times when the Heaven and Earth's primordial energy was abundant, I reckon by now we would all have superior Dharma techniques."

  Li Yin listened to the two and smiled: "Indeed, for us Taoists with poor qualifications in this world, being able to use some artifacts skillfully is already very good. Being able to deal with one or two small ghosts is already quite good, but there are still some people with strong qualifications who have cultivated a bit of magical power."

  "Oh?" Liu Jue and Ma Hui both turned their eyes towards him, somewhat expecting his answer.

  Li Yinscan swept a glance at the three of them, then said: "I knew one of them, he is a fellow disciple Huang Jian who came with me this time. Fellow Huang Jian has condensed a wisp of law power at the age of over 30."

  The other two people heard this and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, all of them admiring endlessly.

  This scene actually made Bai Yu feel amused, he didn't think that the current cultivation world had declined to this extent, and now at the age of thirty or so, having a bit of magical power was considered a genius. However, he then remembered something else. Because on the plane, Mizuki told him that in the previous conference, there were twenty cultivators who came, but didn't know how many came this time, so he opened his mouth to ask: "Several fellow cultivators, do you know how many of us cultivators have come this time?"

  Ma Hui was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "White Daoist friend, this year's Theory Conference, our school has relatively more people attending. Including the leaders of various sects who possess the power of law, some outstanding disciples, and some of us who are relatively excellent in the new generation, nearly forty people have come."

  Bai Yu nodded upon hearing this, he had roughly counted when he arrived and found that there were at least around 150 people in the courtyard. He was feeling puzzled, it turned out that many of Fa Xiu's people had come. Afterwards, he asked again: "But why aren't the leaders of each sect and some senior figures visible?" He wanted to find Liu Zhen Guang's figure.

  Liu Jin was taken aback, saying: "You don't know this? The leaders of each faction and some senior predecessors will not be here, they are all in a separate room. What these people discuss is some experience of cultivation, which we little Daoists can't understand."

  Bai Yu nodded slightly, suddenly enlightened. So that's why he hadn't seen anyone over fifty years old - they weren't with them. Knowing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but shake his head. He still had no idea where Liu Zhengguang was, and now he really didn't know what to do next. Being with these young people, apart from chatting and gossiping, there was nothing else to do.

  While he was thinking about things, Ma Hui's somewhat astonished voice came over, "Bai Daoist friend, you didn't come with the seniors of your own sect?"

  Bai Yu naturally knew what he meant, smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

  At this time, Li Yin suddenly let out a light hum, his eyes fixed on the door of a house in the quadrangle courtyard not far away: "How did Liu Lao come out?"

  Several people heard the words and turned their eyes to that place, not only because of the reputation of Mai Yī Shén Xiàng, but also because everyone in the courtyard was curious about what Mai Yī Shén Xiàng had come to do.

  Liu Zhenguang arrived at the courtyard, his eyes scanning around as if searching for someone. He circled around, his gaze sweeping across the area until it landed on Bai Yu's table. His face lit up instantly, and he hastened towards them with quick steps.

  Apart from Bai Yu, the other three were somewhat excited. The achievements of Mah Yi Shen Xiang in divination could not be denied by anyone. If he could give them some guidance, they would definitely be able to avoid future disasters.

  They all thought to themselves: "Isn't it that they saw my face and felt that I wouldn't be ordinary in the future, so they came to point me out?" As soon as they thought of this, a flash of light flickered across each of their eyes, and with an expectant smile, they looked at Liu Zhengguang's figure.

  Bai Yu didn't know what they were thinking, but he wore a faint smile on his face as he gazed at Liu Zhenguang's approaching figure.

  Liu Zhenguang's feet were indeed swift, and in a short while, he arrived at this table, but the first sentence that came out of his mouth was one that left all the Taoists present in shock.

  "Bai Dao, I've finally found you! Why didn't you come looking for me when you arrived? What are you doing sitting here?"

  Fellow Taoist? Everyone in the courtyard is staring at Bai Yu, such a young Taoist priest is a fellow Taoist? Has Ma Yi's divine eyes mistaken someone?

  Even the three of them, who were originally full of expectations, were shocked, rubbing their eyes, hardly daring to believe it, was this real?

  At this time, Bai Yu smiled and said: "Liu Shixiong has wronged me. How can I be called a fellow Taoist?"

  Liu Zhenguang didn't mind at all, saying: "I said you're worthy of it, so just be worthy of it, don't decline. Come on, follow me. I've already spoken with those old guys inside, and they want to open their eyes wide and see what a real genius looks like." Then he pulled up Bai Yu and headed towards that room.

  Bai Yu heard this and shook his head with a bitter smile, but still followed without stopping. As he walked, he turned back to nod politely at the three people behind him.

  The three of them exchanged a dazed and confused glance, looking bewildered.

  In another corner, Shui Mu was also somewhat unbelievable, he scratched his chin, muttering to himself: "Could it be that this White Daoist's background is not simple?"

  Shui Tianxin also used those bright big eyes to measure the figure of Bai Yu leaving, which was also full of surprise.

  At this time, the people in the courtyard had already exploded into a pot, and suddenly the voices of discussion sounded like thunder.

  "Look at that Taoist friend, shouldn't he be Fa Xiu?"

  "Shouldn't it be, isn't it Matoi's lineage? Won't it be the next Matoi no Kami?"

  "No, I saw that Taoist friend come with Su Tu and his family, he might be a descendant of the Su Tu lineage."

  "Really?"

  "We'll know once we ask."

  "Good."

  Then a group of people gathered around Mizuki, asking questions in a flurry. This situation made the two parents and daughter from the Mizu family feel dizzy for a while.
