We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Fahai dared to accept Shen Bailian's invitation entirely because he was confident in his own strength.

What good is a Grandmaster-level martial artist? What good is a Celestial-level martial artist?
In essence, he was just an ordinary warrior. Hundreds of years later, he would become a handful of dust, which would be scattered by the wind and disappear into the world.

These are the rules established by Heaven.

Therefore, we can see that in the Song Dynasty court, some people served as officials in the hope that they could continue to serve as officials or become local deities in the underworld after death.

The system of deification through incense offerings.

Some choose to become Taoist priests to cultivate Taoism; others become monks, reciting Buddhist scriptures all day long... Still others choose to study, cultivating a righteous spirit that makes them impervious to all evil.

After worldly affairs are settled, there is a possibility of ascending to the Heavenly Court.

Only those who have a particular love for martial arts, or those who have no other choice, would choose to become a martial artist.

In Fahai's view, after Shen Bailian enters the realm of celestial beings, he will definitely choose to cultivate Taoism or Buddhism, with the former being more likely than the latter.

This is the way to achieve longevity and immortality.

This is also the choice of most warriors.

however.

What Fahai didn't know was that although Shen Bailian was also a martial artist, he didn't cultivate the repair system of this world.

With the current activity of the cells in Shen Bailian's body, living for five or six thousand years would be an easy thing, if not immortality.

As for the normal lifespan of other martial artists at the Opening Sea Realm, it can reach one or two thousand years.

As for why the difference is so great...

Of course, it's because Shen Bailian is frequently subjected to the cleansing of primordial power, which not only strengthens his physical attributes but also brings many other benefits.

One of these is the extension of lifespan.

"Strange." Fahai followed Shen Bailian for about several dozen meters, and gradually became confused.

Because at the beginning, Shen Bailian did indeed rush towards the outside of the city, but for some reason, he suddenly changed direction.

They sped off towards the affluent area in the north of the city.

Although Fahai had some doubts, he continued to follow, even though he had not yet had a heartfelt conversation with Shen Bailian.

But he could sense that Shen Bailian wasn't a bad person.

It's just that there's something wrong with their thinking.

People who mature early usually mature late. They develop their own worldview early on. Moreover, Shen Bailian has reached the peak of martial arts master at a young age, only one step away from the Celestial Realm.

A little arrogance is perfectly normal.

Thinking of this, Fahai recalled his younger, impetuous self. If it weren't for his profound understanding of Buddhism, he might not have been able to attain the position of abbot.

After all, the former abbot of Jinshan Temple's most favored successor was not him, but someone else.

The former abbot of Jinshan Temple once said that if Fahai were to become the abbot of Jinshan Temple, it would surely bring disaster to the temple and even affect the common people of Zhenjiang.

Fahai, of course, did not believe this, and simply dismissed it as the nonsense of the former abbot of Jinshan Temple.

As long as Fahai is at Jinshan Temple, nothing will ever happen to Jinshan Temple!
Not to mention being robbed!

After a while~
"Hmm?" Fahai saw that Shen Bailian had actually come to the gate of the Shen residence, and then called over the servants. He said something to them, which made the servants look surprised.

Fahai could have chosen to hear exactly what Shen Bailian said, but he chose to respect it.

When dealing with fellow humans, especially those with exceptional talent, a senior like Fahai would still hold a degree of appreciation for a junior, provided there is no complete enmity.

There was another reason why Fahai admired Shen Bailian.

That is, Shen Bailian's attitude towards the servants in the mansion was not so tyrannical and unreasonable, and the servant was woken up so late, in the middle of a light drizzle.

Not only did they show no reluctance, but they also appeared to be willing to serve them.

An unusual light shone in the eyes of every servant.

This was a sight Fahai had never seen in the mansions of other prominent families.

In Fahai's eyes, this was a plus.

however.

For Shen Bailian, who had always lived in the "future world," this was just a common occurrence. It wasn't that he didn't want to show more respect to his servants.

But ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

Respect that is out of step with the times will only harm those servants.

Moreover, Shen Bailian knew that he was ultimately just a passerby in this world, and that he would choose to leave this place once he achieved his goals.

Rather than giving them hope, it's better to let them never have seen hope at all.

Individual strength is ultimately insufficient to withstand the tides of the times.

In such a world, society as a whole would remain in a feudal era for a long time.

"Uh... this man is really cunning." The owner of Baoqingfang gave the two men rushing out of the city a deep look.

Especially the man in front.

Fahai knew the principle of not listening to what was improper and was willing to abide by it; however, the owner of Baoqing Workshop, being a demon, naturally wouldn't follow these worldly rules. He had overheard everything Shen Bailian and his servants were saying.

It was precisely because of this that the owner of Baoqing Workshop clearly understood Shen Bailian's character; it could be said that he was cunning and scheming from head to toe.

They're going to have a friendly competition using martial arts.

Shen Bailian even thought of instructing his servants to fetch a hundred taels of gold from the treasury and deliver it to the county government office overnight to bribe the local officials of Lin'an.

As for the purpose?

It was all to prevent Fahai from being unethical and secretly accusing him of colluding with the snake demon.

What a thoughtful man!
"Unless absolutely necessary, we must not make an enemy of this guy." The owner of Baoqingfang looked at Fahai and Shen Bailian, who had already left the city, and did not choose to follow them.

Instead, they stopped in their tracks.

Because, as things have now progressed, the situation has completely exceeded her expectations.

"Then let's carefully investigate this little guy's background first." The owner of Baoqing Workshop thought to herself. With a slight thought, her petite figure disappeared instantly.

Only a faint pink mist and a rich, exotic fragrance remained.

As for the question of who would win the battle between the two sides.

You don't even need to look to know who the winner is.

In a world teeming with gods and Buddhas, ordinary martial artists, whether grandmasters or those at the celestial realm, can never contend with those who cultivate immortality.

Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
……

Amidst the majestic ancient mountains and the vast sea of ​​clouds, two figures moved swiftly through the mountains, one after the other, like two dragons weaving through a painting.

A blue ribbon meanders among the mountains, as if it has transformed into a corner of the mountains.

Shen Bailian and Fahai traveled for a while and finally stopped in a depression in the mountains, more than ten kilometers away from Lin'an City.

The water's surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the cool, clear moon in the sky.

Shen Bailian glanced at the gradually dissipating thick fog in Lin'an City, then looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and immediately understood everything.

"Amitabha."

"Benefactor, please make your move." Fahai didn't think too much about it. He put his hands together, stood on the water, and looked calmly at Shen Bailian, who was a hundred meters away.

"Alright." Now that things had come to this, Shen Bailian was no longer willing to waste any more time. With a slight thought, his internal organs throbbed, and his vital energy surged out of his body like smoke.

The temperature around us suddenly rose a notch.

Boom! Boom!
Listening to the thunderous resonance of the five internal organs, feeling the astonishing power of qi and blood, and the pure qi and blood power as wild as the wilderness.

Fahai's pupils contracted slightly, and a sense of foreboding crept up his body.

Things have now taken a far off course.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

"Since we are making friends through martial arts."

To avoid harming innocent people, causing bloodshed, and damaging harmony, let's have a friendly exchange of martial arts skills with Master Fahai today.

Shen Bailian took a deep breath, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his thick legs, as strong as twisted iron wire, exerted force, like a raging, fiery lion suddenly leaping up.

Bang - boom! ! !

The water beneath my feet suddenly burst open, the shattered droplets gleaming silver in the moonlight.

Whoosh!
Almost instantly, Shen Bailian accelerated to 100 meters per second, his legs powerfully propelling him through the air as he raced across the sky, the air crackling with a series of mournful explosions.

This made him shoot like an arrow, rushing towards his opponent with a gust of wind.

"This is bad!" Upon seeing this situation, Fahai's gaze shifted violently. In an instant, he changed his previous dismissive and skeptical attitude and looked at the man with a solemn expression.

Later generations develop, but our ancestors arrived first!
The distance of several hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye!
Fahai sighed. Given the situation, he could no longer hold back. He uttered "Amitabha," and as his lips moved, endless Buddhist light emanated from him.

A golden light swept across his hand, striking Shen Bailian's chest directly. Amidst the mountains, it was like a golden sun rising, before suddenly exploding.

They want to drown Shen Bailian.

Without hesitation, Shen Bailian leaped to the side, and with a whoosh, his right leg slammed down like a black battle axe, unleashing a deafening boom as pure golden true essence exploded forth.

It transformed into golden streams of light, shooting out in all directions.

A strong gust of wind stirred up the air, creating tangible ripples that dispersed in all directions.

Chi Chi!
Large swaths of golden light rained down, penetrating the wind-blown rocks and piercing them through, leaving the once-hard rock riddled with holes and shattered.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Before one move was finished, another one began.

Boom boom boom!
With just one strike, Fahai completely abandoned his contempt and had to exert all his strength without using his magic. The purple-gold alms bowl hanging on his waist also trembled violently.

Boom boom boom!
The battle between the two was purely a fight between warriors, but its sheer scale shocked all living beings within a radius of dozens of miles. Even in Lin'an City, more than ten kilometers away, flashes of golden light could be seen from time to time.

And that faint rumbling sound. (End of Chapter)
