Chapter 328: Set out from the Northeast and arrive at the Chu Ma Immortal Ancestor Land
The birthday of the immortal from the Northeast Gao family is on the sixth day of the second lunar month, which is March 3.14, and is also the day before Behemoth sells the G1 reagent.

On the evening of March 3.13, Lu Jin prepared the gifts according to the instructions of his uncle-master, and during the process he also asked the old man of the Gao family about the relevant taboos.

The so-called immortals are not gods in the real sense, but a respectful name given by the disciples of the horse-riding lineage to those animals and spirits who have made great progress in cultivation and are on good terms with humans.

The bodies and souls of immortals are extremely powerful, and they possess all kinds of incredible supernatural abilities, just like humans who practice Qi cultivation. Moreover, they have long lifespans, and they sleep in their own mountains and generally do not move around easily.

The human families who worship them usually ask the "immortals" to possess their bodies, but all they get in return is an incomplete soul. Both parties benefit from this, with humans using it to solve problems beyond their capabilities, while the immortals accumulate merits, absorb the incense, and improve their cultivation.

Common spirits in the Northeast include "Hu Huang Chang Mang" and "Qing Feng Yan Hun";
Hu - fox, Huang - weasel, Chang - long worm (snake), Mang - python, all four types are not human, only Qingfengyanhun is a ghost fairy cultivated by humans;
Men are the breeze and women are the smoke souls. Their bodies decay and turn to dust, but their souls become stronger and stronger through the practice of secret methods passed down from generation to generation or by chance, thus allowing them to stay in the human world for a long time.

In terms of ability, ghost immortals like Qingfeng Yanghun who have lost their physical bodies are slightly inferior to the immortals.

In addition, the three mountain ranges in the northeast region, the Greater Khingan Range, the Lesser Khingan Range, and the Changbai Mountains, are home to countless mountain elves, and their methods of cultivation are slightly different.

The immortals, for example, accumulate merits and draw incense in order to achieve continuous transformation;

As for those who are born and raised by the nature, they disdain human beliefs. They feed on the essence of the sun and the moon, flowers, fruits and spiritual springs, and reside under the earth's veins, nourishing their bodies. Like water dripping through a stone, they temper themselves over the years, with the goal of breaking the shackles of the body and roaming the vast universe.

The two only have different paths, there is no difference in high or low, but the standard for measuring their strength is the same. To be powerful is to cultivate a flawless human body and truly transform one's life form.

Similar to some practitioners in the extraordinary group, they are obsessed with melting the blood of many species, shedding their mortal bodies and transforming into another life form.

Jiang Mo, who was invited, brought Lu Jin out of the mountain. They rode the wind and crossed thousands of miles to the north, arriving at Gao's home in the northeast at 8 o'clock in the evening.

The person in charge of picking them up was the old man of the Gao family, Gao Youming, who was of the same generation as Lu Jin and Gao Lian's father. He was a mortal who devoted himself to the war in turbulent times and lived a turbulent life.

He was dressed in a festive red shirt, with frosty hair and snow-white eyebrows, and his eyes were shining without any cloudiness. He was neither practicing Qi nor a spirit medium. At the age of over a hundred, he was still full of energy and did not need the support of Gao's descendants to walk.

When he saw the slender figures, one in white and one in black, approaching, the old man of the Gao family could not help but slowly step forward and greet them warmly:

"I am Gao Youming, a junior, and I respectfully welcome Senior Jiang to my humble abode. Please take a seat!"

"Brother Lu, you're here? Come on, come on, come in with me and sit down and reminisce about the past. It was all thanks to you that Shan'er got what happened last time."

"You're welcome."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly and asked, "We shouldn't be late, right?"

"No, you're joking, please."

Old Master Gao brought Jiang Mo and Lu Jin to the hall and ordered the butler to brew the best Da Hong Pao and bring various snacks to entertain them. The bustling crowd around them, whether they were the younger generation of the Gao family or the middle-aged uncles and elders in their forties or fifties, all had eyes full of admiration.

Jiang Mo.

The most accomplished extraordinary person in the country over the past hundred years is better than a deity on earth. His brilliance is like the sun hanging in the sky, surpassing the ancestors of all sects. In the current era, he is absolutely the only one. No matter how amazing the other extraordinary people are, they all seem to pale in comparison to him.

Even just the chance to meet once made many of the Gao family's direct descendants excited;
If the elders hadn't stopped them and asked them to observe etiquette, the younger generations would have wanted to go over to say hello, ask for an autograph, take a photo, etc. It would have been so exciting, and once the news spread in the circle, who wouldn't be envious?

In the hall, Jiang Mo and Grandpa Gao had a brief chat. It was learned that this birthday banquet was the 300th birthday of the immortal 'Hu Tianbiao' worshipped by the clan. In the past, it was held once every 20 years for peace and quiet. Every time, the elves from the mountains were invited to be guests, and it was very lively. The venue was not in the human world, but in the blessed land deep in the Greater Khingan Range.

Even in the Gao family, apart from Grandpa Gao, only Gao Lian and a few elderly elders are qualified to participate. The rest of the family members stay at home, burn incense and offer sacrifices, hold a family banquet, and congratulate the immortal on his birthday.

Mr. Gao and Lu Jin were old acquaintances and they had a very pleasant chat. His granddaughter Gao Yushan was graceful and elegant, with a fair but not gaudy appearance, bright eyes and white teeth. She poured tea and water for the two distinguished guests.

"Senior Jiang, Grandpa Lu, please."

"it is good."

Lu Jin took the teacup and chatted with his old friend, "Old Gao, your granddaughter is so well behaved."

"Wow, Erzhuang has been sensible since he was young. To be honest, I have to thank your senior brother Zhuge for giving me this day and a new life."

Old Master Gao was filled with emotion. If Gao Yushan had not encountered an accident in her early years, she would not have spent half her life lying in that small living coffin.

"Even when she was kidnapped, it was you who brought her back. I, an old man, am extremely grateful and will always remember your kindness."

After that, the old man made another timely joke:
"If your Lu family has any young talents, Brother Lu, don't hide them. Let these young people get to know them. Who knows, our two families may be able to accomplish something great."

"Oh? Lao Gao, you are so thoughtful."

Lu Jin sipped his tea and casually said:
"Let the young people handle their own affairs. If they like each other, they can do whatever they want."

At this moment, Jiang Mo suddenly remembered that Gao Yushan was a top hacker. He looked at her and asked:

"Little girl, can you do me a favor?"

"Ah? Help?"

Gao Yushan was flattered. She never expected that this famous Taoist master would need her help.

She quickly replied:
"Senior, you said that as long as I can help you, I will do my best." "Help me check if my equipment is being monitored."

Jiang Mo told her about being contacted by the dark web staff some time ago, and took out a tablet and a mobile phone from the storage pendant on his chest and handed them to her.

"They contacted you?"

Gao Yushan was puzzled: "Respecting the privacy of users is an iron rule that has never changed in the dark web. But the Dina you mentioned might be a high-ranking dark web director. I have never heard of this person. I will check for you later."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Jiang Mo expressed his gratitude to him. His gentle and approachable attitude immediately made Gao Yushan blush. Like a primary school student who was given high hopes and praise by the teacher, she stammered:

"Don't worry, my work equipment is still in the room;"

"Please wait a moment. I will take care of your phone and tablet. Then I will give you the firewall I developed. Basically, no one can steal your private data."

At this point, the woman asked Mr. Gao again, "Grandpa, how long will it take for you to go to the mountains?"

"It will be soon. When your uncle comes back with the gift ready, we can go. I estimate that there is still half an hour left, which is enough time for you to have fun."

Old Master Gao knew his granddaughter's ability and waved his hand lovingly: "Go, but don't keep the Jiang family waiting for too long, Shan'er."

"okay!!"

Gao Yushan ran away and hurried to find a computer. With her ability to modify radio waves, it was not enough to implant a firewall in the mobile phone out of thin air. She had to use the help of certain equipment media.

Jiang Mo waited here quietly. At nearly nine o'clock, the result came out. Gao Yushan came back with good news.

"Here, senior, this is for you."

"I checked your phone and tablet. There are no viruses in them. I installed a small software on them to virtually blank your devices. It can defend against most technical intrusions by hackers in the world. All the data and information fed back are generated out of order."

"Finally, even if we can't prevent the most powerful hackers from invading, there will be an early warning prompt, and we will help you delete all your data in advance before your privacy is leaked. You shouldn't mind this, right?"

Gao Yushan is relatively humble. International hackers are more powerful than each other, and network technology is rapidly updating and iterating every day. She has never dared to be arrogant and underestimate potential opponents overseas.

"No problem, good job."

Jiang Mo put his mobile phone and tablet into the pendant and took out a transparent crystal, which was a storage magic tool that Yousha had made for the sect a long time ago. He called the woman over, gave her the item and told her about its magical uses.

"It's a small gift for you. Please come and take a trip."

"Thank you, Senior. I will be very honored to accept your invitation!"

Although it was a small matter, Gao Yushan did not hesitate in the face of Jiang Mo's gratitude. She bowed her head and took it with both hands.

This magical instrument that could store objects was very much her favorite. Her eyes were shining as she touched it carefully.

When Mr. Gao saw his granddaughter's loving look, he smiled and kept saying:

"Master Jiang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This girl is lively and sometimes she is so careless and has no manners."

"It doesn't matter. It's better to be straightforward and not go through all the red tape."

Jiang Mo was quite impressed with the girl's efficiency.

Several people were chatting happily like this. Time passed by and it was ten o'clock. Several elders of the Gao family who were responsible for the gifts had already made arrangements. Three black cars were parked outside the house, ready to set off.

Jiang Mo, Lu Jin, and Gao Youming rode in a car together, leaving the city under the moonlight, and heading deep into the Greater Khingan Range along a road that was becoming increasingly sparsely populated.

The silver moon is in the sky, the mountains are overlapping, the calls of various wild animals are heard one after another in the night, and pairs of smart eyes are hiding in the bushes.

At 11:30, Jiang Mo and others were walking in the silent forest.

Based on his past memories, Mr. Gao groped his way along the mountain path, going deeper and deeper.

After a long time, I finally saw the blessed land. It was a valley with bright lights, where all kinds of elves gathered and made a lot of noise.

"The four brothers of the Gao family, Gao Youming, Gao Haikuo, Gao Shanping, and Gao Qiumo, have come to congratulate the immortal on his birthday!"

"Jiang Mo from Sanyi Sect is invited to come and wish you a happy birthday and all the best."

The entrance to the valley is not guarded by elves, but there is an invisible restriction, like a solid wall, separating the inside and the outside.

As Gao Youming and Jiang Mo's voices fell one after another, behind the self-defense door, ripples appeared in the void, like a mechanism that had been unlocked.

The ban was opened, and everyone stepped in, officially arriving at the ancestral land where the Chu Ma Xian had lived for thousands of years.
