When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 123 Undersea Cultivation
Old Mo left with the terms of the monk Zhengyuan.

Yun Jingming looked at Monk Zhengyuan with a meaningful gaze and said, "When you agreed so readily, I thought it was because you were compassionate, but I didn't expect your temple's true purpose was here."

“Let’s not beat around the bush,” Monk Zhengyuan said with a chubby smile. “Benefactor Yun, you must know the purpose of Bi Temple, which is why you took the initiative to come to Bi Temple. Back then, when the abbot of Bi Temple approached Benefactor Mu Yaoguang, wanting to exchange for the cultivation technique, it was your father who refused.”

Knowing the importance of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm," how could Daxing Temple not try to trade it?
Unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory, and Mu Yaoguang directly rejected Daxing Temple's transaction request.

The opening of numerous martial arts schools by Daxing Temple, and even the recruitment of foreigners to learn martial arts in the Shinra Empire, certainly allowed it to obtain abundant resources from the Shinra Empire and expand rapidly, but it also made the Martial Arts Association secretly wary.

Mu Yaoguang is now the kind of person who is wary of Daxing Temple, so obtaining the cultivation technique from her was proven to be impossible back then.

Therefore, Daxing Temple has always wanted to find an opportunity to force Mu Yaoguang to agree to the deal due to the circumstances.

Yun Jingming knew this, which is why he approached Daxing Temple to take over.

Now that the purpose was clear, Monk Zhengyuan no longer concealed anything and said directly, "In this matter, our interests are aligned. Please put aside any unnecessary thoughts for now and focus on winning the boxing match."

“Okay,” Yun Jingming nodded.

Then, Monk Zhengyuan added, "Next, this humble monk plans to announce online that Bai Ze has agreed to a boxing match in order to avoid conflict, and I would appreciate it if Benefactor Yun could give him some encouragement behind the scenes."

Proactively disclosed...
Upon hearing this, Yun Jingming's mind raced, and he immediately understood what Monk Zhengyuan meant.

Announcing that Bai Ze had voluntarily agreed to the boxing match ostensibly boosted his reputation, but it also put him in a difficult position.

This is still forcing Mu Yaoguang, trying to get her to agree to the conditions and engage in a boxing match.

However, this makes Daxing Temple and Yunlai Group the villains.

With the other side spreading rumors first, and now Bai Ze agreeing to the boxing match, the Yunlai Group and Daxing Temple appear selfish and despicable in comparison, completely contrary to Bai Ze's reputation.

However, all that was lost was reputation.

As long as you win the boxing match, the loss of reputation is completely acceptable.

Moreover, the higher Bai Ze is praised now, the more devastating his fall will be.

That monk is ruthless.

Yun Jingming gave Monk Zhengyuan a deep look, nodded again, and said, "Alright."

······
······
The waves crashed against the shore, creating a continuous, surging sound.

Mu Yaoguang stood on a rock by the sea, and the figure of Elder Mo was projected into the light screen in front of her.

"I agreed."

After ending the conversation, Mu Yaoguang turned off the projector, looked at the figure not far away, and said, "The monk Zhengyuan of Daxing Temple agreed to my conditions, on the condition that we also stake the cultivation method of 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm'."

"Brother Yeyu, if we lose, I'll suffer a huge loss."

"Zhengyuan Monk? With such a Buddhist name, he must be very good at making money."

Bai Ze, dressed in a thin training uniform, stood in knee-deep seawater. Upon hearing Mu Yaoguang's words, he replied without turning his head, "If I lose, I'll serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."

"Wouldn't that be too good for you? There are so many people who would be my slaves that they could circle the Earth more than once," Mu Yaoguang said, unable to suppress a laugh.

The two were currently at the beach in the bay area, practicing Bai Ze's cultivation.

After a long period of tutoring and supplementary knowledge about the human body, Mu Yaoguang began to instruct Bai Ze on how to properly utilize "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" for body refinement.

Incidentally, this also serves as a pre-battle preparation for Bai Ze. His feet waded through the seawater, the biting cold seeping into his thin training clothes, constantly stimulating his legs.

It's January now, but according to the lunar calendar of Dongxia, it's still the dead of winter, so you can imagine how cold the sea must be.

When Bai Ze's body was stimulated, his internal energy circulated spontaneously, resisting the external cold and flowing through his flesh, bones and muscles.

Cultivate internally and train externally, using "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" for internal cultivation and the coldness of the sea for external training.

Bai Ze moved through the knee-deep water, his legs parting the water to firmly plant his feet on the bottom, and began to practice the Pine Crane Longevity Fist.

“Practicing boxing in the sea, with the water covering your entire body, the water pressure can help you find every weak point in your body and help you cultivate your internal energy to every corner of your body.”

Mu Yaoguang stood on the reef, watching Bai Ze fight as he moved forward. As the water grew deeper, she said leisurely, "And for us, practicing martial arts in the sea has another advantage. Now, can you breathe in the sea?"

Bai Ze had long since entered the realm of innate fetal breathing, able to replace external breathing with internal breathing, and would not lack oxygen even when holding his breath.

Every pore on his body can breathe and expel waste gas at the same time.

Just this one state of fetal breathing makes Bai Ze's body far superior to others.

However, when the environment changed to underwater, Bai Ze began to feel the difficulties.

Water also contains oxygen, but the amount is definitely less than that in the air.

Bai Ze's attempt to absorb oxygen through internal breathing in the water was as difficult as drawing vital energy from a place where vitality was scarce.

Furthermore, the water pressure also affects the pores all over the body, making internal breathing much more difficult.

"Use your body to adapt to the water pressure, let your internal energy temper every weak point in your body, let the operation of the 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm' technique become instinctive, and let your divine characteristics open up the water flow."

Mu Yaoguang's voice gradually faded into the distance, as Bai Ze was going deeper and deeper, and now his neck and below were submerged in the water.

Mu Yaoguang's words also made Bai Ze realize something.

One of the characteristics of the celestial beings in Buddhism is that they do not get wet when bathing; even when in water, the water will not touch their bodies.

Bai Ze had already initially possessed this characteristic, and now he was going to cultivate underwater to fully manifest this trait.

"Let 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm' become an instinct..."

Bai Ze murmured these words, took a step forward, and disappeared completely into the water.

An endless stream of seawater surged in, filling his ears and nose, covering every pore of his body.

The buoyancy of the water and the scouring force of the current surged in at the same time, making it increasingly difficult for Bai Ze to move.

At the same time, the circulation of internal energy became increasingly refined and subtle, and the power of words becoming law made the operation of the technique gradually become instinctive.

The Qi permeates every pore of the body, covering the seven orifices, and even begins to seep into the eyeballs.

It's like a fine, large net covering the body, and then the mesh of this net gradually shrinks until it's completely leak-proof.

An unknown amount of time passed before Bai Ze opened his eyes underwater.

The seawater rushed towards my eyes, but as it approached, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and failed to reach my eyeballs.
