Confucius Said: Long Life

Bai Yanzhi, a student teacher, transmigrates to a world of immortal cultivation and takes up his old profession again, becoming a teacher in a county town. He possesses a rare treasure, the Immortal-Seeking Ruler. Whenever one of his disciples sets foot on the path of immortality, he gains a chance at eternal life. But fortune and disaster go hand in hand. One day, when a disciple’s golden core shatters, the backlash strikes him, cutting his lifespan in half. He suddenly realizes how perilous the path to immortality is. His disciples must take character as their foundation and stability as their guide: when his disciples are safe, their teacher can live forever. From then on, he constantly reminds his students: “As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.” “Even the greatest opportunity is worthless if you’re dead. You’ll be nothing but a mound of dirt.” “There’s always someone better, and there’s always a higher mountain. Think three steps ahead, learn the facts, then act.” Until As chaos approaches, one immortal master after another emerges from the schoolhouse, wielding three-foot swords to defend their homeland, quell turmoil across the eight corners of the world, and bring peace to all under heaven. Only after the storm has passed does the world learn the truth. At the foot of the immortal mountain stands an ordinary teacher. He raises his arm and calls out, and countless voices answer. The immortal teachings ring out once more: “The Master said: A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, for his burden is heavy and his road is long.”
