Legend has it that immortals dwell atop cloud-shrouded mountain peaks, inaccessible to mortals. A young scholar, driven by a dream of seeking immortality and wisdom, endured countless hardships to reach the foot of a sacred mountain. Looking up, he beheld swirling mists and clouds, ever-changing, like dragons coiling in the sky. He took a deep breath, summoned his courage, and began the ascent. The path was treacherous, rocky, and overgrown with thorns; he fell many times, sustaining numerous injuries. Yet, he never relinquished his goal, climbing step by step with unwavering determination. Finally, he reached the summit, only to find that the clouds and mist had vanished, revealing a serene and beautiful scene. A magnificent palace stood majestically, ethereal music drifted on the air, and he felt as if he were in a dream, a paradise. He sought wisdom from the immortals, gaining invaluable insights into life. He then returned to the world below, his heart full of what he learned, and he shared his acquired wisdom, helping countless individuals live happy and fulfilling lives.
