From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 364 Coming Out
Everyone looked up at the Medicine Buddha statue, and saw that the Buddha's face was kind, one hand was in the shape of holding a flower, and his eyes showed great compassion and mercy.

The two monks and two nuns on the field were all filled with sorrow, and no one knew what they were thinking. They simply bowed to the Medicine Buddha statue.

Meng Yuanran went to the bodies of Shui Xiangsheng and Gan Wulin, then waved his hand and flicked out sparks, which landed on Abbess Cun and the others.

Everyone could see clearly that the spark was tiny, like a thin ripple on water, covering Master Cun and the others.

In an instant, the sparks slowly invaded the bodies of Master Cun and the others, and then the power of the sparks gradually increased.

Soon, blue smoke emanated from the bodies of Abbess Liaocun and the others, as if some kind of impurity had been burned away.

Everyone present was intelligent, and upon seeing this, they knew that Meng Yuan had used the power of the transformed starlight to remove the poison from the bodies of Liao Cun and the others.

Once such a divine skill was displayed, even someone with exceptional insight like Jie Kaiping would know that Meng Yuan had undergone the final stage of the three stages of Ascension to Heaven, and was already different. Just based on the abilities he displayed before breaking through the realm, the fact that he survived being knocked down seven times by Dugu Sheng showed that now, after reaching the fourth rank, his vitality must be unparalleled in the world. He was probably even more indomitable, and as long as he had a breath left, even a small flame could be rekindled.

The abilities displayed at this moment further demonstrate that this person possesses the Fire of Transformation, making them immune to all kinds of evil spirits, and even capable of burning away the poison invading others' bodies.

In this way, having obtained the Flame of Transformation, one would likely be able to spread fire throughout the world, just like Dugu Sheng Heiyun Jiangshi.

Jie Kaiping, who never cared about saving face, immediately bowed to Meng Yuan and said, "Congratulations on taking another step forward, benefactor."

Meng Yuan smiled and put away the starfire, saying, "We have a lot to do with Venerable Peacock."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." He unlocked the screen and said seriously, "Benefactor Ying San must be very happy. I'm afraid she won't let Brother Meng be the local warlord here."

"I have no such intention," Meng Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Kang glanced back at Mingyue from afar before whispering, "Benefactor Ying is kind and treats you very well. She only decided to wholeheartedly cultivate you after seeing your talent. Besides, hasn't Benefactor Ying already given you her beloved disciple and Sister Nie? You..."

"Just say what you have to say!" Jie Kaiping patted Dugu Kang on the shoulder and said seriously, "Aren't you just afraid that Benefactor Meng has deceived Benefactor Ying San?"

"Amitabha." Dugu Kang, having his thoughts exposed, quickly put his hands together and began chanting Buddhist scriptures.

While the two were arguing endlessly, Suwen had already helped Master Cun up and gently passed on a wisp of life to her.

Master Liaocun, a fifth-grade Buddhist nun, was only poisoned by a fourth-grade medical expert this time, and was not seriously injured.

Now that the toxins in his body were gone, his life force slowly returned, and thanks to the power of Suwen, he slowly opened his eyes.

Su Xin quickly helped Master Cun up on behalf of Su Wen. Seeing that her master was safe and sound, the bitterness she had been feeling for many days welled up in her heart, and her eyes even reddened.

Suwen then gave Daoist Yun Huanian another wisp of life, and only then did she give the other sisters of the same generation.

When Liaocun woke up, she was confused for a moment, and then she stood up. She was stunned and speechless when she saw the people in the cave and the strange Buddha statues in the cave.

"Uncle-Master..." Su Xin didn't need Master Cun to ask anymore; she rattled off her words all at once.

As Su Xin recounted her story, Daoist Yun Huanian and everyone from Yunshan Temple had already woken up and listened to Su Xin's account of what had happened.

Seeing that Su Xin was getting more and more incoherent and crying, no longer behaving like a Buddhist disciple but more like a lay girl, Liao Cun stopped Su Xin.

"I roughly understand. It was Benefactor Meng and Benefactor Mingyue who protected my two junior disciples and saved us nuns." Abbess Liaocun had met Meng Yuan and Mingyue when she was at Yunshan Temple, and had even witnessed Meng Yuan's sword battle against the Golden Sea and his fire suppression of the Nine Tribulations, so she was naturally very familiar with them. Liaocun and the nuns of Yunshan Temple bowed to Meng Yuan and Mingyue, and the two returned the bow.

When Daoist Yun Huanian saw Dugu Kang's bald head, she didn't say anything, but just stared at Dugu Kang.

Dugu Kang obediently walked to Daoist Yun Huanian's side, lowered his head and dared not utter a sound, clearly showing the demeanor of a junior towards an elder.

“We owe this trip to Benefactor Meng. We will not think of anything else and will just follow Benefactor Meng’s orders.” Abbess Liaocun was very open-minded.

Meng Yuan didn't waste any more words and suggested leaving the place.

Everyone naturally had no objections. After leaving the cave, Meng Yuan knocked away the rocks in front of the cave entrance, thus blocking the way into the cave.

However, this can only stop ordinary people; if someone with cultivation comes, it naturally cannot be stopped.

It was already dawn, and the afterglow left from yesterday's breakthrough had not completely dissipated; a patch of it still lingered above the canyon, as if welcoming the sunrise.

After they crossed the secluded pool, they saw that although the sun had not yet risen, the morning glow was already rising.

For a moment, the gentle, pale light of the morning glow echoed the auspicious rosy clouds, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty.

Everyone looked up and gazed into the distance, completely mesmerized.

The canyon was still somewhat dark. The group moved forward slowly, with Meng Yuan and Ming Yue in front, and Jie Kaiping following closely beside Meng Yuan.

Na Liaocun and the others were with Suwen and Suxin, inquiring about the affairs of Xiangji Kingdom, while Yun Huanian was talking to Dugu Kang with his head down.

No one was in a hurry. After Master Liaocun and Daoist Yun Huanian asked them in detail, they learned about the changes in Xiangji Kingdom, the competition between the two fellow disciples, Shui Xiangsheng and Yun Huanian, and Dugu Sheng's scheme.

Everything was completely wiped out after Meng Yuan broke through to the next level.

“Suwen has lived in Yunshan Temple since childhood. Although she is a descendant of a medical family, she is still a disciple of Buddhism. It seems inappropriate for you to pass on your medical knowledge to her.” After learning that Suwen had done nothing but received great benefits, Abbess Liaocun quickly found Meng Yuan to return the items.

Master Liaocun's words made perfect sense. "You are a descendant of the Ying family, and your supernatural abilities and character are of the highest caliber. You are also a person of great ambition. You should inherit the medical lineage and wait for the day when you find a kindred spirit."

“Junior Sister Suwen is a person of good fortune and destiny.” Meng Yuan did not accept her. “If things change in the future and I find a more suitable person, I will ask Junior Sister Suwen to pass on her teachings.”

Seeing Meng Yuan's determination, Abbess Liaocun said no more, and instead asked him about his plans.

Now that everything is settled, Meng Yuan has advanced to the next realm, and Dugu Kang has been rescued, so there's nothing seriously wrong anymore.

The remaining issue is how to deal with the remaining inhabitants of the Xiangji Kingdom.

Meng Yuan had other plans for these matters, and he had already figured them out. The Kingdom of Xiangji needed someone to be stationed there to gradually change the kingdom.

However, I cannot stay here for long. Now that I have obtained the Starfire and reached the fourth rank, and my internal essence fire is perfected again, I should start planning to exterminate the rats and break through to the third rank.
