I asked you to play the dungeon, but you are here to raise the BOSS?

"Hey, now that Brother Lin is ready, let's get started."

Zhong Liquan put down his cattail leaf fan, rubbed his hands and rubbed his fists.

"Wait a minute, fat man."

Tieguai Li hesitated for a moment and interrupted: "The old cripple thought about it and realized that this matter is not simple."

"Huh? What's not simple?"

"This fellow Daoist Lin has already entered the Tao through martial arts, and he has the intersection of human nature and luck. He has insight and no confusion, and his spirit is impeccable."

Tieguai Li said quickly: "With our abilities, even if we can make Fellow Daoist Lin fall into the illusion of Taixu, we may not be able to ban all his cultivation and memories."

"The old cripple has a good mind. Now he finally thinks of this."

Zhong Liquan grinned: "So what?"

"What if someone forcibly breaks through the illusion that you and I jointly created, will he pass or fail?"

Tieguai Li snorted coldly: "This matter is no longer a child's play. If it really leads to the displeasure of the Great Heavenly Lord, even if the old cripple takes the blame with you, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

Although cultivation of immortality depends on chance, success still depends on aptitude and character.

Tieguai Li felt that Lin Xuan entered Taoism through martial arts at a young age. He was obviously very qualified and had a bright future.

Even if this kind of person doesn't have the chance, he won't be able to achieve the status of a Heavenly Immortal.

But if you practice for thousands of years, you can definitely become an earthly immortal and live forever.

Celestial beings are deities in the heavenly system, equivalent to senior civil servants in the deity system. In principle, their status and status are higher than those of earthly beings.

However, there is no superior-subordinate relationship between them, and they are generally referred to as "fellow Taoists".

Tieguai Li originally thought that since everyone would be Taoist friends in the future, it would be a good idea to make friends in advance.

So I agreed to help guarantee and make a good relationship.

But when Lin Xuan really needs to be tested for his immortal status...

Tieguai Li suddenly realized that his own cultivation did not seem to be enough to completely crush Lin Xuan.

If someone's potential explodes, it will directly destroy the illusion and tear apart the illusion...

Then this assessment is not suitable for people to pass or not.

Being an Immortal is a big deal. If it is not handled well, it will at least be "unfavorable and damage the face of Heaven."

If the Jade Emperor blames him, he will suffer the same consequences.

What a disaster!

"You know you're scared, right? Hehe, if you expect an old cripple like you to be reliable, you might as well expect a sow to climb a tree."

Zhong Liquan sneered, took off a tattered bag from his waist, and put it on the table: "Open it and see what it is?"

"Um?"

Tieguai Li was stunned for a moment, opened the bag and took out an ancient mirror.

The ancient mirror has a snow-white surface, like mutton-fat white jade.

The surroundings are carved with extremely ancient mysterious patterns, full of ancient charm.

"What is this? Huh? It seems to be a treasure."

Tieguai Li turned the ancient mirror over and looked at it: "Demon mirror?"

"According to your size! The Demon Mirror is obviously the treasure of King Tota Li. I have no friendship with him."

Zhong Liquan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Even if I know him very well, I wouldn't borrow that thing to go to the lower world? Will it be used to take care of you?"

"...Then what is this?"

"Kunlun Mirror!"

"You, you...you dare to steal the Queen Mother's things?"

Tieguai Li spit out a mouthful of wine: "Stay away from me, don't let the blood splash on me!"

"You damn cripple, you are so disgusting!"

Zhong Liquan had a look of disgust on his face and raised his cattail leaf fan to block the drink: "Do you think I am as stupid as you and do things so recklessly?"

"Okay, okay, I'm just disgusted if I feel sick..."

Tieguai Li's face brightened slightly: "Then where did this thing come from?"

"This was borrowed from someone who knew about my lower realm."

"Huh? The Queen Mother lent it to you personally? You actually have such a big reputation now?"

Tieguai Li looked Zhong Liquan up and down and said, "The old cripple is disrespectful. I should call you Fat Brother from now on."

"Don't flatter me, I still know how much I weigh..."

Zhong Liquan rolled his eyes: "Brother Guangchengzi borrowed it."

"Huh? Is this happening?"

Tieguai Li was startled for a moment: "What did Brother Guangchengzi say?"

"Brother Taoist said that this fellow Taoist Lin is an old friend and has some friendship with him."

"He also said that Fellow Daoist Lin has a profound cultivation level. Even if you and I join forces to cast Taixu Illusion, we may not be able to completely confuse his mind."

"So he borrowed this Kunlun Mirror for us to use temporarily and asked you and me to do business."

Zhong Liquan reached out and rubbed the handle of the mirror: "Senior masters must have deep meanings in their actions. How can an old cripple like you guess it?"

Although everyone is a fairy.

However, as the Yellow Emperor's teacher and the Golden Immortal of Chanjiao, Guangchengzi's cultivation and status were much higher than the two of them, so he could be considered an expert.

"Well, with Brother Guangchengzi's cultivation, he should be able to predict the world and gain insight into world affairs."

Tieguai Li was not angry either, and looked at Lin Xuan with a smile: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lin and Senior Guangchengzi are old friends, but it made the old cripple worry in vain."

"Well, I do have an acquaintance with senior Guangchengzi."

Lin Xuan stared at the Kunlun Mirror and admitted frankly.

It stands to reason that if Eunuch Bai is willing to borrow the Tai Chi diagram, he will definitely not be able to break the illusory formation in it with his own cultivation.

Of course, it is also possible that the Tai Chi diagram still contains the fear of leaving a grandson, and Eunuch Bai is just playing some idle game...

I had no choice but to borrow another high-end product for my exam.

In this way, Guangchengzi is quite well-connected and can even speak to the Queen Mother of the West.

Lin Xuan thought for a while and realized that he just ate a second-hand peach from Queen Mother Xi, so he should not become enemies.

Nothing to worry about.

Well, the Kunlun Mirror is quite impressive, roughly equivalent to a Yuwentuo...

I don’t know if Ah Qing can beat him now.

"I see."

Tieguai Li nodded slightly and pointed at the Kunlun Mirror: "Without further delay, let's get started. Does the damn fat man know how to use this thing?"

Although Guangchengzi is a golden immortal, he can still go down to earth to do some things.

Since you are walking around the world, it is not unusual to have some friendship with mortal people.

Knowing that an old friend is expected to become an immortal, it is normal for him to repay the favor.

"This thing has wonderful uses. It is said that it can illuminate the heavens and reflect all things. If you want to completely control it, you will have to ask the Queen Mother Yuanjun."

"It would be very simple to just deal with the assessment. I'll take a look at Brother Lin in the mirror later, and use the spell passed down by Taoist Brother Guangchengzi to capture Brother Lin's soul into the mirror."

"The Kunlun Mirror will construct the illusion of Taixu and conduct trials."

"You and I can also use this mirror to see Brother Lin's various coping methods in the illusion."

"If Brother Lin passes the test, he will automatically enter the next level. By analogy, if he passes ten tests, he can leave the mirror and return to his body."

Zhong Liquan looked at Lin Xuan: "One year in the mirror is equivalent to one hour in this world. If Brother Lin can't break all the illusions at dusk, I will also release your soul, but this time the immortal status has to be done."

"I'll ignore this."

Lin Xuan silently conveyed what happened here to Ah Qing, nodded and said, "After my soul leaves my body, my physical body will be protected by you two."

"Brother Lin, don't worry, this old cripple like you will be well taken care of."

Tieguai Li slapped his chest and said with a somewhat heroic expression: "If there is anything wrong, we are the only ones to ask questions."

"Senior, you are serious!"

Lin Xuan bowed his hands towards Zhongli Quan: "Senior Zhongli, please invite me."

"Okay! Brother Lin, please don't compete with him to avoid hurting your soul."

Zhong Liquan checked the Kunlun Mirror one last time, raised the mirror, and faced Lin Xuan's eyebrows.

Under the influence of the immortal power, a ray of snow-white light broke through the mirror and landed on the Niwan Palace between Lin Xuan's eyebrows.

As the white light shines, Lin Xuan's soul slowly leaves his body and appears in the void.

"The magic weapon of the Immortal Family is indeed extremely powerful."

Lin Xuan estimated that even if he exerted all his strength, he could only stand in a stalemate with the white light of the Kunlun Mirror for a moment at most.

The soul will still be absorbed into it.

If not done well, it will cause irreversible damage to the soul.

Feeling the convergence of Lin Xuan's soul power, the white light suddenly rolled out, bringing Lin Xuan's soul back to the mirror.

"Work, work!"

Li Tieguai and Zhong Liquan looked solemn and worked together to inject immortal power into the mirror.

The vast and dense air swirls and evolves in the mirror, creating an illusion of Taixu.

In an instant, the heaven and earth are positioned, and all things are transformed.

"Amazing! Great stuff!"

It was also the first time for Li Tieguai and Zhong Liquan to use this high-end product, and they were extremely excited.

The two of them set up a protective magic circle on Lin Xuan's body, creating a blindfold.

They asked the waiter for some big fish and meat, and sat together arm-in-arm, watching the scene in the mirror with interest.

Although whether it passes or fails is determined by Taixu Illusion itself.

But as proctors, they still need to supervise the entire process.

***

"This Kunlun Mirror can't affect the memory of my soul? Is Wanfabuluo's priority so outrageous?"

"Oh, this also has pros and cons... Although I am not fooled by the illusion, I can't add new memories. I don't even know the character I play."

Lin Xuan opened his eyes and found himself in a magnificent bedroom.

It is estimated that the talent of "not being confused" came into play. Although I was in an illusion, my memory was not affected at all.

Lin Xuan looked in the bronze mirror and found that he still looked like his original self.

However, his inner strength of martial arts and even the spirit of the fairy spirit have completely disappeared.

There is a feeling of weakness that I have not experienced in a long time.

Oh, it doesn’t seem particularly bleak.

Although his root-bone physique has been weakened a lot, it is still far stronger than ordinary people.

Lin Xuan estimated that his physical fitness was probably equivalent to a dozen ocean horses.

If placed on the demon-free plane, he would be considered a little superman, capable of killing one against a hundred.

"It stands to reason that the combat intensity of this type of trial should not be too high. Let's first see what this test is about, right?"

Lin Xuan walked out of the room and looked up at the sky.

The white clouds were lingering, the sky was still blue, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

As expected, it is much stronger than the illusion of reincarnation for hundreds of generations that "changes the sky and strikes the earth".

There is no way to brute force it.

"Master, master! There is a beggar at the door and he refuses to leave."

"The Chinese New Year is so unlucky!"

At this moment, a delicate-looking little maid hurried over and said softly: "Butler Zhou asked me to ask you if you want the nursing home to drive him away."

"A beggar?"

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Take me to see it."

It seems that he should be playing a high-ranking official, and his starting point is quite high.

"Huh? Oh, yes!"

The little maid seemed a little surprised, lowered her head, and silently led the way.

"Master, this beggar is really annoying!"

A man dressed as a housekeeper stood at the door, led several servants, and surrounded a beggar: "I gave him a meal of meat and rice, dozens of coins, and several buckets of rice because it was New Year's Day. But he was still asking for more money and asked us to give him gold and silver."

"You beggar, is this true?"

Lin Xuan looked at the beggar not far away and asked.

The beggar looked to be in his thirties, with messy hair, patched clothes, and a big red lacquer gourd on his back.

He was quite burly, with long arms and legs, deep aura, and a faint gleam in his eyes.

A sharp-eyed person could also see that the beggar's right index finger was broken off, and the whole palm looked a little weird.

"Hahaha, your Lin family has always been rich but unkind, and has been bullying the people."

"I want some gold and silver, just rob the rich to help the poor, what's the big deal?"

Although the beggar was surrounded by several servants, he was not afraid and laughed: "I'm addicted to alcohol, hurry up and give me money to buy wine."

"It's really a famous scene..."

Lin Xuan smiled and looked at the housekeeper Zhou: "People say that we are rich but unkind, is this true?"

When he was a bandit, he never encountered a hero coming to his door.

Now that he is a small official in the illusion, he can actually encounter such a thing.

It's also a brand new experience.

"This... Master..., cough cough!"

The housekeeper Zhou was stunned and looked a little embarrassed.

He wanted to say: "Isn't this nonsense? There are still righteous rich people?"

But if he said this, his career as a housekeeper would be over.

Maybe, he would be beaten and thrown out.

Thinking of the bleak future, housekeeper Zhou immediately hesitated.

"It's because I didn't do well. No wonder a beggar dares to be so fearless."

Lin Xuan observed the beggar's expression, smiled indifferently, and looked at the beggar: "You have hands and feet and are strong. It's okay to beg for food and drink, but it's a bit too much to give you gold and silver. I'll find you a job tomorrow and pay you."

"Hey! It's New Year's Day, I'm coming to your house to give you a lucky money."

The beggar was furious, pulled out a bamboo stick from his pocket, pointed at Lin Xuan: "But you asked me to come tomorrow, and you have the nerve to arrange work for me, hateful, hateful!"

"Master, be careful!"

"Protect the master!"

"Catch this dog."

The housekeeper and the servants shouted angrily, rushed over, pressed the beggar to the ground with their hands and feet, and took away the bamboo stick.

"Hahaha! Dog rich man, is this your way of treating guests?"

The beggar did not resist, with a slight sneer on his lips, looking up at Lin Xuan.

"You come here without asking, what kind of guest are you?"

Lin Xuan frowned and looked at the servants: "I just pulled out a bamboo stick, what are you afraid of? Let this beggar go."

"Yes!"

When everyone heard Lin Xuan's order, they were startled and quickly dispersed.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin, are you going to send me to see the official?"

The beggar rubbed his shoulders and stood up, still fearless.

"That's not the case. Since you said that I am rich and unkind and bully the people, it is indeed a bit wrong."

Lin Xuan smiled: "Butler Zhou, count the advantages you have taken today. Tomorrow, set up a charity hall and return all the advantages you have taken from others."

"This! Master, you...?"

Butler Zhou was completely dumbfounded and said hurriedly: "If this goes on, I'm afraid that the Lin family compound will become those mud legs."

"...They took a lot of advantages."

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly: "Gold and silver are just things that you can't bring with you when you are born and can't take with you when you die. If you feel uneasy, what's the point of keeping them?"

"But, but..."

Butler Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "The master is still young now. If he loses this huge fortune, I'm afraid..."

"You have hands and feet, are you afraid of starving to death? What's there to worry about?"

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves: "Are there any more questions?"

"No...no!"

"Then go down and talk to the accountant."

"Yes!"

The butler nodded and walked into the house in a daze.

"???"

The beggar was also stunned for a long time, and gritted his teeth and said: "You rich people, you talk better than singing, aren't you all one-sided?"

"Well, I'll give you a job tomorrow, which is to bring more poor people to supervise."

"These jobs can't be done well with just one side."

Lin Xuan looked at the beggar and said calmly: "Your Excellency is an extraordinary martial artist, and you are walking among the people, so you can tell the truth from the lies."

"...To be honest, Hong has some murderous intentions in his heart after hearing some rumors."

"But Mr. Lin's demeanor doesn't seem to be false, and there are probably other hidden secrets in these things."

The beggar looked at his broken right index finger and shook his head thoughtfully: "Sorry to bother you today, Hong will come again tomorrow."

"Then, are you willing to take on the job I just mentioned, Brother Hong?"

"...Okay!"

"Thank you."

Lin Xuan bowed and smiled, and turned around.

Boom!

At this moment, like thunder, the entire illusion was shattered and disappeared.

And a new world was regenerated in an instant.

"... This, you passed the first test?"

Tieguai Li looked at Zhongli Quan with a strange expression: "It's quite simple?"

"What's simple? This test tests 'being magnanimous and generous, and giving generously'."

"Under normal circumstances, you need to always satisfy the beggar's request. Only after you have repeated it three times without getting angry will you be able to pass."

"But this beggar is worse than you. He is greedy and his demands are more outrageous than the last. It will really make people angry to death."

"Well, I saw someone face this test before. In the end, he was forced by the beggar to chop up dozens of kilograms of dog meat. I couldn't bear it and gave the beggar a knife, and then he was slapped to death by the beggar."

Zhong Liquan sighed: "But if Brother Lin does this... it's just... it's just draining the bottom of the cauldron."

"It sounds like this beggar is indeed a bit worse than me. It's a bit too much."

Tieguai Li let out a sullen breath: "Let's take a look at the back..."

"That's right, young people value righteousness over wealth, and those behind are more troublesome than the last."

***

"It's easier than I thought. I thought I was going to have a fight with Hong Qi..."

"It seems that this illusory realm also has its own ideas."

Lin Xuan opened his eyes and found that he was wearing a scholar's robe, carrying a long sword on his back, and facing a desk.

On the desk is an oil lamp and a copy of Spring and Autumn Period.

Through the window not far away, you can see yourself in the mountains.

There were faint sounds of howling wolves and strange bird calls in the distance.

For a moment, Lin Xuan couldn't tell what bird was calling.

"So, this is a person who comes to study in the mountains and forests alone?"

"You are reading the Spring and Autumn Period at Night, are you such a hard-core scholar..."

Lin Xuan was speechless and closed the book.

No matter how unqualified you are in the examination for becoming an immortal, you probably won’t be able to take the imperial examination...

"Oh, is anyone here?"

At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice sounded outside the door.

"Someone is here."

Lin Xuan's thoughts moved slightly and he responded.

"Yeah, he's still a little brother."

The woman outside the door chuckled, sounding very charming.

"...Little brother, why don't you open the door? Are you afraid that I am a bad person?"

The woman waited for a long time and found that Lin Xuan was still as motionless as a mountain, and said softly.

"You just asked if anyone was here, and you didn't ask me to open the door."

Lin Xuan said calmly: "In that case, why should I open the door?"

"...Okay, it's the slave's fault. Little brother, please open the door."

The woman was obviously startled before she reacted and gritted her teeth.

"Don't open it!"

"Ah? Why don't you open it again?"

"Your words are loose and you don't look like a serious girl."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly: "Leave quickly and don't taint the scholar's innocence."

"you!"

The woman stayed for a while, and seemed to feel that the previous character was too frivolous, so she quickly changed her words: "The little woman's name is Vanilla. On her way home today, she got lost and felt panicked, so she took this opportunity to stay overnight and wait. It's dawn, please open the door."

"Well, Miss Vanilla is very talkative, isn't that enough?"

Lin Xuan held back his complaints and shook his head: "No!"

God’s name is “Vanilla”!

"Thank you...huh?"

"Although it is in the mountains and countryside, there are only one man and one woman alone but no one is close to them..."

Lin Xuan said seriously: "My dear lady, please invite him."

"Now tonight, jackals, tigers and leopards are out, and many evil spirits are showing up in the mountains."

Girl Vanilla's chest was tight with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said: "A gentleman will not pretend to be a concubine for just one night, but do you want to give up your concubine?"

"Beast? Evil spirit? Well, that's also a problem."

Lin Xuan thought for a while, tied up his robe and opened the door.

A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old stood outside the door.

Her eyebrows are as green as green, her temples are like crows, her figure is graceful, and her face is beautiful.

Probably among the girls Lin Xuan has met, those with so-so abilities are probably among the top 100.

This made Lin Xuan a little dissatisfied.

It's an illusionary realm, and you use this to test people?

Who are you looking down on?

"Thank you so much for saving my life, young master! This little girl has nothing to repay, so why not..."

The vanilla girl looked at Lin Xuan, her beautiful eyes lit up, her cheeks flushed slightly, she looked delicate and charming, and she looked like she missed mugwort.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Xuan frowned and interrupted: "Thank you later."

"ah?"

"Didn't you say there's something evil out there? Take me there and have a look!"

Lin Xuan said sternly: "Look, I have all my clothes on."

"Your god... ahem, I didn't expect that the young master is so brave, and the little girl admires him."

The vanilla girl's eyes widened, and she tried not to curse, and said helplessly: "But in this vast mountain, the little girl doesn't know where the evil spirit is."

"Wouldn't it be better if we couldn't meet him?"

Lin Xuan said calmly: "Then I will send you back just in time to avoid damaging your innocence."

"This... Young Master has a Confucian aura of greatness. He is easy to ward off ghosts and spirits, so he is naturally not afraid of mere evil spirits."

"But, the little girl is still afraid..."

The vanilla girl bent down and took off her shoes and socks, revealing her snow-white feet: "Sir, look, the little girl has been walking for a long time and is already very tired."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but I didn't think enough about it."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Then you go to sleep, I'll go out to find trouble with evil spirits. Maybe I can meet a few to open my eyes."

"Don't!"

The vanilla girl said frantically: "Young master, stay here."

"Um?"

"It's a beautiful time, wouldn't it spoil the fun if we take care of a few evil spirits?"

Miss Vanilla smiled lightly and twisted slightly: "My family and the young master are destined to be together. Wouldn't it be nice to spend this moon, sunset, and morning flowers in search of the love of the clouds and the rain?"

"So you have such thoughts."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly drew out the long sword on his back and slashed it diagonally.

The sword light was like a rainbow, slashing towards Miss Xiangcao's neck.

"Young Master! What's wrong with you?"

Miss Xiangcao showed a panic, bent her slender waist, and narrowly avoided the sword.

"Monster! I can tell at a glance that you are not a human!"

"With my state of mind, I can understand everything in a ten-foot radius."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly: "When you knocked on the door just now, the grass and trees rustled. It was obviously the art of controlling the wind, which is definitely not something a weak woman can do."

"Ah?"

Miss Xiangcao was startled and suddenly widened her eyes.

"Humph! Originally, I thought it was not easy for you to practice, so I wanted to spare your life and teach you the way of saints."

Lin Xuan sneered: "But you are so smart that you tempt me again and again, trying to steal my Yuanyang and destroy my Tao heart. It is really unforgivable."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan waved his long sword, which turned into a sky full of sword light and strangled Miss Xiangcao.

Boom!

Almost at the same time, the entire illusion exploded and turned into countless fragments.

"... This brother Lin is weird!"

Tieguai Li said speechlessly: "This old cripple is the first time I have seen someone turn the trial of 'lust and concentration' into exorcising demons."

"It's the first time I've seen it too..."

Zhongli Quan was also a little shocked, put down his elbow, and muttered.

"You are also a genius. You actually found a demon to test Brother Lin."

"... The Grand Illusion Realm itself has to follow some basic rules."

Zhongli Quan said listlessly: "Where can I find such a coquettish girl in the middle of the night? If you mess around, the illusion itself will collapse!"

"What is that woman?"

"She calls herself a vanilla, most likely a rosemary or something like that that has become a spirit."

"No wonder she is so coquettish..."

Tieguai Li curled his lips: "So Brother Lin killed this thing and passed it?"

"I have already killed my sister to prove my truth, why do I need to test my lust?"

"...That's right."
