In the distant ancient times, the world seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. In that vast mountain forest, with lush trees, gurgling streams, and misty clouds, it was like a fairyland. Here lived a young and energetic cultivator named Li Yun.

 

Li Yun had been deeply interested in Taoist thought since childhood. During his growing years, he often strolled alone in the mountain forest, feeling the tranquility and mystery of nature. He saw the lofty mountains, as if they were the pillars between heaven and earth, carrying the mysteries of the universe; he heard the gurgling streams, like the melody of life, flowing with endless wisdom. In the embrace of this mountain forest, Li Yun's heart was gradually nourished by Taoist ideas.

 

Taoist thought is like a bright lamp, illuminating Li Yun's inner world. He understood that Tao is the root of all things in the universe, an existence beyond human understanding. Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Everything in the world operates under the domination of Tao. Li Yun longed to pursue the true meaning of Tao and explore those endless mysteries. He knew that only through continuous cultivation could he approach the realm of Tao.

 

In Taoist cultivation, ordination is regarded as the key to reaching a higher cultivation realm. Li Yun heard this legend and a strong desire burned in his heart. He knew that ordination is not just a ceremony, but also a inheritance and an endowment of power. Cultivators who receive ordination will possess stronger magical powers and wisdom and be able to better practice Taoist ideas and protect the people in one area.

 

So, Li Yun resolutely embarked on the journey of searching for the place of ordination. Carrying a simple backpack and holding a stick, he set foot on a journey full of unknowns. The mountain roads in the forest were rugged and difficult to walk on, full of thorns, but Li Yun was not afraid at all. He had only one belief in his heart, that was to find the place of ordination and realize his cultivation dream.

 

During the journey, Li Yun encountered countless difficulties and obstacles. Once, he walked into a thick forest and lost his way. All around were tall trees that blocked out the sky and the sun, making it impossible to distinguish directions. Li Yun wandered in the forest for several days but still couldn't find a way out. He began to feel despair, but his belief in his heart never wavered. He remembered the teachings of Taoism, to keep calm and follow nature. So, he stopped, closed his eyes, and felt the surrounding environment with his heart. Gradually, he heard the sound of flowing water and followed the sound to finally walk out of the forest.

 

Another time, Li Yun encountered a sudden rainstorm. The wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the rain poured down like a flood. He had nowhere to hide and could only walk forward difficultly in the rain. The rain soaked his clothes and was bitterly cold, but he still persisted. He knew that this was a test from nature. Only by passing these tests could he become stronger.

 

After going through untold hardships, Li Yun finally arrived at a mysterious Taoist temple. This Taoist temple is located on the top of a high mountain, surrounded by misty clouds, just like a fairyland. The architecture of the Taoist temple is simple and elegant, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Li Yun stood at the gate of the Taoist temple, filled with awe. He knew that this was the place of ordination he had been looking for.

 

Li Yun gently knocked on the door of the Taoist temple. The door slowly opened, and an old Taoist priest with white hair appeared in front of him. The Taoist priest's eyes were deep and serene, as if seeing through everything in the world. Li Yun respectfully saluted the Taoist priest and expressed his intention. The Taoist priest silently looked at him. After a long time, he slowly said, "Why have you come?" Li Yun firmly replied, "I am wholeheartedly devoted to Taoism. I heard that ordination by Taoism is the key to reaching a higher cultivation realm, so I have come to seek ordination." The Taoist priest nodded slightly and said, "The road of Tao is long and arduous. Ordination is not easy. You need to go through many tests." Li Yun said without hesitation, "I am willing to accept the tests."

 

The Taoist priest led Li Yun into the Taoist temple. Inside the Taoist temple, incense smoke curled up, peaceful and serene. The Taoist priest first let Li Yun meditate in a quiet room. In the quiet room, Li Yun put aside all distractions and concentrated on cultivating Taoist skills. He felt the flow of breath in his body and became one with nature. After several days of cultivation, Li Yun's state of mind became more peaceful and his magical power also improved.

 

Then, the Taoist priest arranged a series of tasks for Li Yun. He asked Li Yun to go to the mountains to pick herbs and rescue injured animals; asked him to help the nearby villagers solve problems; asked him to clean the courtyard and organize books in the Taoist temple. Li Yun earnestly completed each task. He knew that these tasks were not only tests but also a kind of cultivation. In this process, he learned to care for life, help others, and also understood more deeply the compassion of Taoism.

 

After a long test, Li Yun finally won the recognition of the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest decided to hold an ordination ceremony for him. The ordination ceremony was held in the main hall of the Taoist temple, solemn and solemn. Li Yun was dressed in a white Taoist robe and knelt in front of the Taoist priest, filled with piety. The Taoist priest held a talisman and chanted incantations, then gave the talisman to Li Yun. Li Yun took the talisman and felt a powerful force pour into his body. He knew that from this moment on, he officially became a ordained cultivator.

 

After ordination, Li Yun was not complacent. He knew that his cultivation path was still very long. He decided to leave the Taoist temple and return to the mountain forest to continue cultivating and use what he had learned to protect the people in one area.

 

Li Yun returned to the mountain forest he was familiar with. He used his magical power to cure diseases and drive away evil spirits for the villagers and solved many problems. He also taught the villagers how to follow nature and protect the environment. Under his influence, the villagers also began to respect nature and cherish life.

 

Once, a fierce monster appeared in the mountain forest. The monster wreaked havoc everywhere, threatening the lives and safety of the villagers. When Li Yun learned of this, he immediately stepped forward without hesitation. He used the spells he had learned to fight a fierce battle with the monster. After a fierce battle, Li Yun finally defeated the monster and protected the safety of the villagers.

 

As time passed, Li Yun's reputation grew greater and greater. People all knew that in this mountain forest, there was an ordained cultivator who used his power to protect the people in one area. Li Yun also became a hero in people's minds.

 

However, Li Yun was not confused by fame and fortune. He always maintained a humble heart, continued to cultivate, and constantly improve his realm. He knew that the pursuit of Tao is endless. Only by continuous efforts can he better practice Taoist ideas and bring more peace and tranquility to the world.

 

Under Li Yun's influence, more and more people began to be interested in Taoist thought. They came to the mountain forest one after another to ask Li Yun about Taoist cultivation methods. Li Yun always patiently answered their questions and guided them onto the right path of cultivation.

 

As years went by, Li Yun's story was passed down in the mountain forest. His spirit inspired generations of cultivators and became a model of Taoist cultivation. And he also used his life to interpret the compassion and wisdom of Taoism, leaving precious wealth for this world.
