Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 267: Being Exposed in Person
Hearing that the other party was actually a disciple of the Chan Sect, Li Jing's heart was not as excited as before. He was even calm, as if he had heard of an ordinary person.

So he immediately bowed his head and said, "So it is the Immortal Samantabhadra of the Chan Sect who has come to visit. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

Puxian Zhenren hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I have come uninvited. I am sorry for disturbing you, General Li. Please do not blame me for the errand."

As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman and placed it in front of Li Jing. "The jade talisman contains the method for training the Flying Tiger Soldiers."

"Just consider it a gift for meeting you. Please don't despise it, General Li. As for General Li's second son, whether he is willing to take me as his master, we can discuss it separately."

The humility displayed by Samantabhadra is far superior to that of Manjusri Bodhisattva. However, this is not because Samantabhadra is truly humble, but rather because he is learning from Manjusri Bodhisattva's lesson.

The last time Manjusri Bodhisattva came to Chentangguan to recruit disciples, he kept saying that it was all destined by heaven. In the end, not only did he fail to take his disciple away, but the relationship between master and disciple was not even settled.

Although it was said that when Jin Zha was ten years old, Manjusri Bodhisattva would come to Chentangguan to recruit him as a disciple, who knew if he would be able to successfully recruit a disciple by then?

Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Gu Xian Zhenren to learn from Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun. He even came up with this method of combining kindness and power, hoping to make it impossible for Li Jing to refuse.

At this time, Li Jing naturally would not be willing to let his second son join the Chan Sect. After all, he was already a disciple of the Human Sect and a disciple of Qinglian Island.

So he was ready to use the excuse that the child had not yet been born to reject Puxian Zhenren. He was even ready to imitate last time and give Puxian Zhenren a tactic of procrastination.

At this moment, a servant from the general's mansion came to report that Deputy General Yin Shiniang was about to give birth to a boy.

Now, it was impossible for Li Jing to reject Samantabhadra on the grounds that the child had not been born.

In addition, Li Jing was also worried about his wife at this time and had no time to play around with Master Puxian.

He immediately returned the jade talisman for training the Flying Tiger Soldiers to Master Puxian and spoke directly.

"I appreciate your kindness, my Lord. Li Jing is training the troops for the king, how dare he train the Flying Tiger Soldiers privately?"

"As for taking my child as your disciple, I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip. Someone has already taken him in as a disciple before he was even born."

In fact, the purpose of Li Jing saying this was to make Puxian Zhenren give up.

Little did they know that Puxian Zhenren had no intention of retreating, but instead asked Li Jing.

"General Li, I wonder which fellow Daoist is willing to accept your son as his disciple. Is he able to devote all his resources to the training of your son, as we do?"

While speaking, he did not forget to hand the jade talisman for training the Flying Tiger Soldiers to Li Jing again.

This inevitably made Li Jing feel a little embarrassed. He really didn't know how to answer Samantabhadra.

After all, he was just trying to evade the issue, but who would have thought that Samantabhadra would be so serious about it.

Just when Li Jing didn't know how to answer, a hearty laugh came from not far away.

"Junior Brother Li Jing, I learned that my future disciple was born, so I came here to take him to Qinglian Island to temper his body with the Three Lights Divine Water."

As he was speaking, Taoist Cihang had already arrived in front of Li Jing and Samantabhadra.

Li Jing saw Master Cihang coming and bowed with a smile on his face. Then he said, "Brother Cihang, this is Master Puxian, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. He also wants to take Mu Zha as his disciple."

Taoist Cihang smiled, bowed to Master Puxian, and then said, "I just heard from fellow Taoists that the Xianjiao sect is willing to devote all its resources to nurturing Mu Zha." "Then I wonder how the Xianjiao sect is preparing to temper the newborn Mu Zha's body? And what innate spiritual objects will they use to preserve his innate energy in the womb?"

Every creature born after birth has a breath of innate energy, but as time goes by, this innate energy will gradually disappear.

If one can retain this innate Qi within the body, then one will have the opportunity to transform from the acquired to the innate. Therefore, this innate Qi is extremely important.

When asked this question by Taoist Cihang, Samantabhadra really didn't know how to answer for a moment.

First of all, using the Three Lights Divine Water to refine the body was something that his sect couldn't do. After all, the sect didn't have the Three Lights Divine Water Pond.

However, the Chan Sect did have a good way to retain the innate energy, so he immediately spoke to Taoist Cihang.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Cihang has ever heard of the top-grade innate spiritual root ginseng fruit?"

At this time, Samantabhadra was in high spirits. After all, in the entire prehistoric world, there were very few spiritual fruits that could surpass the ginseng fruit.

Little did they know that Taoist Cihang took out several ginseng fruits with a wave of his hand, and did not forget to ask Samantabhadra.

"The ginseng fruit that Daoyou is talking about should be this, right? We on Qinglian Island eat this as a fruit."

"In addition to this ginseng fruit, Qinglian Island also has peaches, yellow plums, and so on. Anyway, it seems that everything you can think of is available on Qinglian Island."

Puxian Zhenren's face turned unhappy at this. He no longer wanted to compete with Cihang Taoist for resources and was ready to use force.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, General Li's second son was born for the sake of destiny. He will make countless military achievements for the human race in the future. He is destined to be my disciple."

"If Fellow Daoist Cihang were to forcibly stop it, it would be tantamount to going against the will of Heaven. It would also ruin the chance of General Li's second son."

After hearing this, Taoist Cihang couldn't help but laugh. "Mu Zha was indeed born for the times, and he will make great contributions to the human race in the future. But he is not here to be your scapegoat."

"Others may not know, but why are you, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Xianjiao, recruiting disciples everywhere? Don't my disciples from Qinglian Island know this?"

"Back then, Guangchengzi's teachings to Emperor Xuanyuan led to the human race starting a murderous rampage. This ultimately led to the Twelve Golden Immortals of your Chan Sect committing a murderous calamity, triggering the impending Conferred God Calamity."

"You twelve golden immortals are all destined to become famous people on the Conferred God List and be canonized as gods in heaven in the future."

"In order to successfully survive the catastrophe, you plan to accept disciples with similar fates to yours, and then channel your own killing calamity into the disciples..."

Before Taoist Cihang could finish his words, Samantabhadra was already sweating profusely. He didn't dare to let Taoist Cihang continue.

He immediately raised his Wu Gou twin swords and slashed directly at Taoist Cihang, hoping to silence him.

Seeing that Samantabhadra actually attacked him, Taoist Cihang couldn't help but reveal a sneer on his face.

Then, a golden light flashed in the hands of Taoist Cihang, and a dragon soared into the sky and pounced towards Samantabhadra.

Before Puxian Zhenren could react, the dragon had already transformed into a rope and tied him up tightly.
