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

Chapter 131 Despair Spreads Like Vines
"Amitabha Buddha, this old monk Guangzhi greets you."

The old monk, with a touch of ancient style, raised his palms in a salute, then handed the USB drive to Mu Yaoguang, saying, "This is the 'Chanyinwang Cultivation Sutra' of our temple. It also contains the insights and experiences of the monks in the temple regarding the cultivation method. I'm giving it all to you, benefactor."

"Wow, the old monk is quite decisive." Lu Xuanfeng on the other side said sarcastically upon seeing this.

"Master Lü is joking. Monks do not lie. Once it's agreed upon, it must be kept."

The monk Guangzhi smiled kindly, showing no sign of frustration at the failure. Instead, he said rather amicably, "Benefactor Mu and Benefactor Bai, if you have any questions about the cultivation method, you are welcome to ask me. My ID on the StarNet is also Guangzhi, so you can contact me at any time."

Well... Bai Ze can only say that he doesn't fully understand the masters' ability to keep up with the times.

"So you want to listen to your sermons and then convert to Buddhism, right?" Lü Xuanfeng continued, "I'm very familiar with your Buddhist ways."

The old monk fell silent.

Then, he suddenly burst out, "What era are we living in? Still trying to convert people to Buddhism? You've been reading too many novels. This old monk is just engaging in normal social interaction, trying to resolve the conflict with you two. Get out of here, you bastard!"

The image of the Buddhist master was shattered instantly. The old monk roared like a lion, and his taunting manner clearly showed that he was a seasoned troll.

After finishing his rant against Lü Xuanfeng, the old monk's expression changed again. He looked at Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze with a kind and benevolent expression and said with a smile, "Please don't misunderstand, benefactors. Those who readily try to convert people are just stereotypes about Buddhism from TV dramas and novels. Our modern temples do not have those feudal customs. Although we open our doors wide, we absolutely do not force people to convert."

"As for the 'Sutra on the Practice of the Wheel-Turning King,' it is an exchange of knowledge, and for Bisi Temple, there is actually no substantial loss."

The old monk spoke eloquently and humorously, and his mannerisms were equally charming, which made people unconsciously lower their guard and gain their favor.

After he finished speaking, the old monk didn't linger and turned to leave.

"Please feel free to contact me anytime, esteemed benefactors."

The old monk Guangzhi waved his hand and, along with the monk Zhengyuan and Wu Yinglong, flew away into the sky.

"Tsk, that cunning old bald monk."

Lu Xuanfeng spat, then smiled and said, "I am Lu Xuanfeng, in charge of this acquisition. Today is not the time for conversation. I will definitely pay you a visit another day to discuss this transaction in detail."

With that, he glanced at Bai Ze, whose clothes were somewhat torn, and left with Xi Yuheng and the other two.

Xiao Zangfeng was about to leave when Mu Yaoguang stopped him.

“Minister Xiao,” Mu Yaoguang said, “please pay more attention to Yun Yan’s condition. Although his injuries are not as severe as mine were, they are still beyond the treatment capabilities of current medical technology.”

Mu Yaoguang had her physical strength and central soul destroyed, and her heart was pierced. She was able to survive entirely because her cultivation level was high enough and her physique was already extraordinary.

Yun Yan's injuries also looked serious, but given his level, the difficulty of treatment was incomparable to that of Mu Yaoguang back then.

Even so, it is still a tricky situation.

Saving one's life is easy, and even maintaining a healthy life isn't too difficult, but restoring one's strength and rebuilding one's foundation...
That won't be an easy thing.

Either he obtains the Azure Heaven Golden Core like his elder brother, which would not only allow him to rebuild his foundation but also enable him to advance rapidly through the power of the Golden Core; or...
Given that the Great Freedom Demon Lord has been confirmed to have reappeared, another possibility is not impossible.

It could even be said that it is much easier than obtaining a second Golden Elixir.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zangfeng paused, then nodded silently, and left with the branch president of the Canghai City Martial Arts Association and the director of the Public Security Bureau.

It's foreseeable what kind of treatment Yun Yan will receive in the future.

Xiao Zangfeng will closely monitor Yun Yan's situation, and the Special Affairs Department will also send people to keep an eye on him. When it comes to the Great Freedom Demonic Sect, there are no small matters.

Furthermore, given Xiao Zangfeng's personality, personal connections and favors are of no use to him.

After everyone else had left, Mu Yaoguang finally shed her aloof demeanor and revealed a smile.

She tossed the USB drive in her hand and asked Bai Ze, "How do you feel about these Buddhist and Taoist people?"

"He doesn't seem to have the air of a master," Bai Ze said after thinking for a moment.

Lu Xuanfeng and Monk Guangzhi were no ordinary people; their strength far surpassed that of Bai Ze, yet their demeanor was remarkably down-to-earth, especially when they conversed with Bai Ze.

That's because you've caught their eye.

Mu Yaoguang said calmly, "The key to being a master lies in the word 'master.' If you are as master as them, then you are no longer a master."

"If you stand at the level of gods and demons, then whether it is an evil god or a god's enemy, it is nothing more than that. The superior man is not superior, and the gods and demons are not gods. You can learn to dispel the enchantment of such beings."

"Stop!" Luo Shui suddenly spoke up, calling a halt. "It's not class time now. Let's hurry back to celebrate our victory and tell you how I sniped the target."

Before you know it, Mu Yaoguang is giving Bai Ze a lesson again.

I always felt that she was particularly interested in Bai Ze. Could this be the mutual appreciation between two geniuses with similar talents?
Luo Shui couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, her heart churning with sourness. This situation, where only she was failing, was far too cruel.

······
······
The jade-colored light crashed directly into the top of the Yunlai Group building, and then an announcement was made that the group's medical team was gathering as quickly as possible.

Yun Jingming placed Yun Yan on the operating table and continuously poured his true energy into her body.

"Yan'er, I will heal you, it's alright."

Yun Jingming held Yun Yan's hand tightly and said, "Never give up."

However, Yun Yan's pupils shrank upon hearing these words.

"Dad, am I ruined?" he asked with difficulty.

Don't give up... which also means don't despair.

With the reappearance of the Great Freedom Demon Lord, Yun Yan naturally understood the meaning behind Yun Jingming's words.

He was worried that he might resonate with the Great Free Demon Lord and then accept demonic blood.

If a follower of the Great Free Demon Lord appears in the Yun family, that would be terrible.

At the very least, the eldest brother Yun Shu's situation at Yujing Martial Arts University will become quite difficult.

At this thought, despair grew in my heart like vines, and in a daze, I seemed to hear mocking laughter.

"Will not."

Yun Jingming said resolutely, "I will get Yujing Martial Arts University to restart the mission of exploring the Yuan Realm as soon as possible. I will definitely find the second Golden Core, and you will definitely not become a cripple."
