Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 330 Buddhist Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Li Yunjing stood silently before the colorful flowerbeds, inhaling the fragrant aroma.

"The sect will naturally investigate this matter later. If the Liu family is indeed colluding with demonic cultivators, their crime is unforgivable."

After a long while, Li Yunjing said calmly.

"Yes! There won't be any problems!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's response, Zhu Wanyun understood the deeper meaning behind it and said happily.

As long as business is handled officially, Zhu Wanyun is confident that the Zhu family will not encounter any problems.

Before meeting Li Yunjing, Zhu Wanyun had also seen the evidence prepared by the Zhu family. In Zhu Wanyun's view, the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable, and it was an absolute betrayal of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

"Hmm! We'll talk about this later! But we need to keep working on screening the pawns of demonic and Buddhist cultivators without stopping for a moment. If there are any more suspects, tell me directly and I'll handle it personally."

The investigation requires the assistance of the royal family, but whether or not to decide the fate of the other party is in Li Yunjing's own hands.

The various forces within "Yingtianfu" are of complex nature. If you investigate some of them, you might eventually find your way back to the "Zixiao Party".

This kind of thing must not happen; Li Yunjing needs to find out the truth for himself.

"Yes! I understand! I will arrange for the royal family to investigate these matters and make sure that no demonic or Buddhist cultivators are allowed to hide in Yingtian Prefecture and secretly develop their power."

Zhu Wanyun agreed to Li Yunjing's decision without any conditions.

"Hehe! Alright! If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Li Yunjing nodded, having finished his business, and then took his leave.

"and many more!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was about to leave, Zhu Wanyun became anxious and actually reached out and grabbed Li Yunjing's sleeve.

If Li Yunjing hadn't failed to activate the restrictions on the "Great Sun Robe," the force of the backlash would have nearly killed Zhu Wanyun.

"what happened?"

Li Yunjing asked with a smile.

"Let's have a meal together!"

Zhu Wanyun looked at Li Yunjing expectantly, seemingly wanting him to agree.

"All right!"

Li Yunjing's heart stirred, and he nodded in agreement to the proposal. As for what he was really thinking, that remains unknown.

The banquet prepared by Zhu Wanyun was quite good. Li Yunjing ate a little, then gave Zhu Wanyun some pointers on cultivation before preparing to leave.

"Ah... Your Excellency, there are still many questions I don't understand about swordsmanship?"

Zhu Wanyun quickly grabbed Li Yunjing again, not letting him leave, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing gave a wry smile. He had guessed about 80 or 90 percent of it before, but now he was completely certain that Zhu Wanyun was after him!
"Compared to the myriad paths of immortal cultivation, the way of the sword is merely superficial. In my opinion, it has no meaning in cultivation. Even if one cultivates to the peak of sword heart clarity and man-sword unity, one may not be able to unleash the power one imagines."

Li Yunjing sneered and then explained, "As long as you cultivate the sword path and reach the level of Sword Heart Clarity, you can cultivate magic weapons with attributes opposite to yours!"

Seeing that Zhu Wanyun was somewhat bewildered, Li Yunjing expressed his understanding.

After all, there are too many poor people in the cultivation world. If these people can even refine a flying sword, that's already quite an achievement.

This is the norm in the world of cultivation.

Not everyone is like Li Yunjing, who possesses numerous magical artifacts. In Li Yunjing's eyes, the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" is something that is dispensable.

The truly powerful magical artifacts are those with special functions.

For example, the "Five Dragon Wheel" and the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" are special spiritual artifacts. One of them is specifically designed to unleash the power of the five elements and counter the spells of the five elements; the other is even more powerful, releasing thunder magic and being invincible.

Of course, the most powerful "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror" in Li Yunjing's hands is even more ferocious, with the laws of life and death operating within it, saving or killing people in the blink of an eye.

Having spent so long in the world of cultivation, Li Yunjing had come to look down on those simple, offensive magical weapons like swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

Especially swords, which lack lethality, are more symbolic than practically useful when kept on one's person.

"But...but...everyone is practicing swordsmanship!"

Zhu Wanyun stammered.

Her values ​​became somewhat distorted by Li Yunjing's words.

Is the Imperial Advisor right or wrong?

Zhu Wanyun was completely stunned.

"Heh! That's because they're poor and destitute!"

Li Yunjing sneered and said, "You saw me fight. If I only used flying swords and magic weapons, how could I have this combat power?"

At this point, Li Yunjing looked at Zhu Wanyun and instructed her, "I will take a look at your development path. For now, the flying sword is enough for you. In the future, I will get you some other treasures."

"Yeah! I know!"

After listening to Li Yunjing's explanation and recalling Li Yunjing's god-like performance that day, Zhu Wanyun felt that the Grand Preceptor's words made a lot of sense.
"Mmm! I'm full and satisfied..."

Just as Li Yunjing was about to say, "I should go back too," a soft, delicate body suddenly snuggled into his arms.

"Your Excellency, would you please stay tonight...?"

Zhu Wanyun blushed and buried her face in Li Yunjing's chest, whispering something.

"All right!"

With the beautiful woman throwing herself into his arms, Li Yunjing no longer hesitated.

With a swift movement, he carried Zhu Wanyun into her boudoir.

"what……"

Suddenly, Li Yunjing picked her up and moved her, and Zhu Wanyun couldn't help but gasp softly.

Nestled in Li Yunjing's arms, imagining being truly with the Imperial Preceptor, Zhu Wanyun's desires were gradually aroused, and she felt as if her whole body were a small furnace.

Zhu Wanyun's soft and sweet cry made Li Yunjing's heart skip a beat.

On the bed, golden "Great Sun Robes" and snow-white garments were scattered everywhere, while light gauze curtains covered the bed.

"Boom!"

The thunder of a fierce storm rang out that night.

For three whole days, Li Yunjing did not leave the princess's residence.

No one in the entire manor had seen the princess, nor had anyone come to her bedchamber to disturb her mistress...

Three days later, Li Yunjing dressed neatly, glanced at the delicate body, savored the moment, and was quite satisfied.

His little fangirl went all out, using every trick in the book to please him.

"Grand Preceptor, are you leaving?"

Seeing Li Yunjing get up and dress, Zhu Wanyun nervously climbed out of bed.

With her jade-like hand, she smoothed her disheveled hair. When she saw Li Yunjing's gaze fall on her delicate body, Zhu Wanyun blushed, but still straightened her milky-white breasts.

"Hehe! Yes! We are both cultivators, and there's plenty of time in the future. Are we worried that we won't have time to get together?"

Li Yunjing admired the beautiful scenery before him, smiled, and instructed, "Your most important task now is to cultivate. Go all out and advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. When that happens, I will get you a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Yes! I will definitely cultivate diligently!"

With Li Yunjing's assurance, Zhu Wanyun was overjoyed, and like a butterfly, she flew into Li Yunjing's arms.

"Yes! There's one more thing. We need to expedite the screening! This is extremely important!"

Li Yunjing caressed Zhu Wanyun for a while before releasing her.

"Yes! Your Excellency, rest assured, I will begin my full-scale investigation tomorrow and make sure to find all the traitors!"

Zhu Wanyun's gaze was firm as she assured Li Yunjing.

"Alright! You focus on your cultivation, I'm leaving! Keep this 'treasure pouch' for yourself!"

Before leaving, Li Yunjing handed one of his "treasure pouches" to Zhu Wanyun.

This place contains many pills, spirit stones, magic tools, talismans, and even a second-tier "puppet mechanical beast." All of these things combined are enough to arm Zhu Wanyun into the most troublesome opponent in the Qi Refining Realm.

With these resources, as long as one isn't a pig, one is guaranteed to advance to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

When the time comes, Li Yunjing will get Zhu Wanyun two or three "Foundation Building Pills," and she will have no problem advancing to the Foundation Building Realm.

People follow him because of feelings, something Li Yunjing can't provide.

Since that's the case, let's give them some benefits!

Today, these resources, which once seemed enormous, are no longer of any interest to Li Yunjing. Not to mention Zhu Wanyun's ecstatic expression as she inspected the "treasure pouch" after Li Yunjing left.

In Yingtian Prefecture, on a street, a man in yellow robes and a straw hat strolled leisurely, admiring the bustling scene.

The man in yellow walked for a while and then came to a restaurant.

"Welcome, sir/madam!"

As soon as the waiter saw a customer arrive, he immediately perked up, bowed and scraped, and came over with a smile.

"Hmm! You have a private room called 'Green Bamboo Garden' in your restaurant, right? A friend of mine asked me to meet him there."

The man in yellow spoke in a gentle voice, speaking softly.

"Ah! So you're a friend of Lord Niu! Please follow me!"

Upon hearing that the visitor was going to "Qingzhuyuan," the waiter immediately smiled and became even more obsequious, as if that Master Niu was someone of considerable importance.

"Thank you for your trouble, waiter!"

The man in yellow chuckled, nodded, and followed the waiter inside.

Upon reaching the second floor, the man in yellow saw the "Green Bamboo Garden" private room at the end of the corridor. The waiter knocked on the door, went in to announce his arrival, and then allowed the man in yellow to enter.

After the door closed, the man in yellow glanced at the fat man in blue standing to the side.

"Master Dingxin! You've arrived! Your humble servant has been waiting for you for a long time."

The fat man in blue was none other than the so-called Master Niu.

"Ok!"

The man in yellow took off his straw hat, revealing a bald head with visible signs of ordination; he was indeed a monk.

The monk Dingxin sat in the main seat, glanced coldly at Lord Niu, and asked, "What changes have occurred in the city recently?"

"A lot has happened recently, Master Dingxin, here's what happened..."

This Lord Niu stood carefully to the side, serving him, and gave a detailed account of what had happened recently, especially the matter of the Shenxiao Temple changing its national preceptor three or four months ago.

"Ok?"

The monk Dingxin sneered and said, "It seems the trouble will begin after this person arrives. Perhaps he's the one who'll cause us trouble!"

"Master Dingxin, has something happened?"

Lord Niu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a solemn expression.

"It's alright! Just tell me about that imperial advisor!"

The monk Dingxin waved his hand and said coldly.

"All right!"

Having no other choice, Lord Niu continued speaking, introducing Li Yunjing's information to Monk Dingxin.

It has been almost four months since Li Yunjing arrived in Yingtian Prefecture. Such a long period of time is enough for many forces in Yingtian Prefecture to investigate and find out some of Li Yunjing's public identities.

At least Li Yunjing is a true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", comes from "Seven Star Peak", and has a cultivation level of the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. All the major families know these basic facts.

When Lord Niu revealed this information, Monk Dingxin sneered repeatedly, his narrow eyes flashing with cold light, seemingly filled with disdain for the unfamiliar Li Yunjing.

In the eyes of Monk Dingxin, he was a peak Foundation Establishment expert, while the other party was only at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. Wasn't this a piece of cake?

"Alright! I'll take care of this guy tonight."

The monk Dingxin then coldly uttered this sentence.

"Hehe! With Master Dingxin taking action, there's bound to be no mistake!"

Lord Niu offered his compliments from the side.

"Lord Niu, do a good job! This is a gift of resources to your Niu family, enough to cultivate two Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

The monk Dingxin looked at Lord Niu, casually tossed a "treasure bag" onto the table.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master!"

Lord Niu was overjoyed and quickly put away the "treasure bag". His Niu family had joined the "Mingxin Branch" just for resources.

It was precisely because of this act of seeking refuge that the Niu family's power has greatly increased over the past hundred years, from having only one Foundation Establishment cultivator to now having as many as three Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Now, the Mingxin Branch has once again bestowed a large amount of resources, enough to create two Foundation Establishment cultivators. This is simply a great joy!
If the Niu family had five Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could become one of the top three powerful families in Yingtian Prefecture, second only to the royal family!

This is the greatest wish of the entire Niu family!
"Hehe! As long as your Niu family serves my 'Mingxin Branch' well, if your Niu family produces an outstanding talent in the future, I can send them to the 'Mingxin Branch' to study. In the future, even advancing to the Golden Core Realm will not be a problem!"

The monk Dingxin calmly painted a picture of a cake for Lord Niu.

"Yes! Yes! Master Dingxin, rest assured, we members of the Niu family will serve the 'Mingxin Branch' to the death!"

Imagining a bright future, Master Niu's eyes were shining, and his voice trembled with excitement.

……

At night, the moon rises above the branches.

Winters in the southeastern coastal areas are not cold.

Li Yunjing was sitting cross-legged in the side hall, meditating, when suddenly a chill ran through him.

His eyes snapped open, his blood surging, and he stared coldly at the door.

"Hehe! I didn't expect your cultivation level to be not at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but at the fifth level!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a kind-looking man in a yellow monk's robe slowly walked in.

At this point, the last question that the monk Dingxin had was also answered.

With a Foundation Establishment Realm fifth level cultivation, plus some treasures, and the help of people from the "Shenxiao Temple" and the "Royal Family," it is possible to wipe out Zhuang Yangming and his group.

"Heh! A bald monk? From 'Mingxin Temple'?"

Upon seeing the bald monk for the first time, Li Yunjing looked at him curiously, sizing him up. The monk's robe, prayer beads, and the staff in his hand gave him the appearance of a high-ranking monk.

"Are people from your 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' so rude, addressing others like that?"

With composure and an unchanged expression, he spoke softly.

"Then tell me your name! I presume you already know who I am, so why would I need to tell you my name again?"

Li Yunjing asked curiously.

Why did the Buddhists come to find me?
Apart from the "Blood Bodhi Tree," there seemed to be nothing else that the other party would covet.

As for deliberately having someone kill him just for revenge?

That's a bit much!
They're all from major sects; victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Who can't afford to lose?

"Amitabha! This humble monk from Mingxin Temple, calm your mind!"

The monk Dingxin did not hide anything, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and revealed his origins.

In any case, in Monk Dingxin's view, Li Yun was just a Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Level cultivator, whom he could kill without hesitation, with no possibility of escape.

Faced with such an inescapable situation, revealing some secrets is nothing.

"Then what brings you here? The 'Blood Bodhi Tree'?"

Li Yunjing continued to ask.

"It seems the 'Blood Bodhi Tree' has truly fallen into your hands!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing mention the "Blood Bodhi Tree," Dingxin's face contorted in shock.

You should know that "Bodhi Fruit" belonged to him!

He had spent a full hundred years on this "Bodhi Fruit," but now it had fallen into Li Yunjing's hands, which made him hate it to the extreme!
More importantly, the "Blood Bodhi Tree" did not belong to him and his master, but was a treasure of "Mingxin Temple" that was lent to them. Only the fruit belonged to them!

Without the Blood Bodhi Tree, Mingxin Temple will not let the master and disciple off the hook!

Now everything is alright. He has finally learned the whereabouts of the "Blood Bodhi Tree". As long as he can retrieve the "Blood Bodhi Tree", the biggest threat to him and his teacher will be gone.

"Great! It came so easily! By the way, what about the 'Bodhi Fruit'?"

Feeling much better after calming down, he asked another question.

"You mean that fruit? I ate it, and it tasted pretty good. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been confident in raising my cultivation to the peak of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly!"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, seemingly savoring the taste of the "Bodhi Fruit," and said calmly.

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Dingxin's vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground. He asked urgently, "You damned bastard, you should know that the 'Bodhi Fruit' will ripen in less than ten years!"

That was his hope for advancing to the Golden Core realm!
Now, it's all gone!
What a waste of talent by that brat from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!
