I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 554 He gave too much (46)

Stretching his arms, Chen Yu said with satisfaction, "That was really fun. I wish I could stay in jail for another two years."

A golden light flashed in front of them, its strength surpassing Cao Zhen's by several levels, yet they were still able to "defend" against it.

Without dodging or avoiding, Chen Yu's body flashed with black light, and his physical body instantly completed its foundation building. With his brute strength, he forcefully blocked the opponent's attack, even knocking the old monk back several steps.

Unable to steady himself, the old monk staggered and pointed at Chen Yu, exclaiming in shock, "You...you just reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Old Deng, people can die easily, but they can't just say whatever they want! Who's reached the Foundation Establishment stage? Tell me!"

Just as the old monk was about to continue pointing out the evidence, he felt a gust of wind behind him.

With a silent cry of "What a tragedy!", the old monk's spirit suddenly flew out, and his physical body was struck by Teacher Zhao's punch, instantly turning into dust.

The flying primordial spirit passed through Chen Yu and headed straight for the center. There it saw Cao Zhen, who was almost smashed into a pulp, his Dao heart completely shattered, and who looked dazed.

"Bitter!"

With a sigh, the old monk disregarded everything else and grabbed Cao Zhen, trying to escape, but then suddenly stopped.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Qing, wearing a captain's cloak, appear on the deck, arms crossed, his eyes fixed on him.

The primordial spirit is formless, but its speed is not fast enough.

He could have concealed his whereabouts and escaped with Cao Zhen, but now that Liu Qing's Heavenly Eye has locked onto him, escape is no longer an option.

Reluctantly setting Cao Zhen down, his gaze swept over the three men in turn, finally fixing on Chen Yu and saying, "Benefactor Chen, we admit defeat this time. What would it take for you to let us go?"

"I'll listen to my junior sister."

Dao Lingyun and her mother were shaken awake. Upon hearing that there was such a good thing, they immediately rushed over to squeeze some money out of her.

After signing a bunch of contracts, the monk and temple keeper looked at everyone helplessly, knowing that he had failed this time.

Cao Zhen's Dao heart was destroyed, and he lost his physical body. Afterwards, he signed a bunch of contracts, and he didn't know how he would be punished when he returned.

They originally intended to help Cao Zhen expel his inner demons, but unexpectedly, they also lost a lot of money.

This time, Wangshengzhou lost a lot of money.

However, the power of a single state is enormous, and this time the battle was fought on Changsheng State's territory, so the losses were not particularly severe. It's just a pity about the spies we planted in Tianmu City.

As he led Cao Zhen back, the monk began to calculate.

Tianmu City was mostly destroyed, and a large number of contracted cultivators left. It is unknown how long it will take to recover.

This time will be enough for the port of Cloud City to be repaired, at which point the status of Tianmu City will no longer be so superior.

Moreover, once "My Dream" is released, other cities will have another way to deal with disasters. Now, they can only go back and spend a lot of effort to persuade the Star Lord to restrict "My Dream".

Although it's unclear how long the restrictions will last, it's still a measure.

"Little Dreams" can continue to be made, but it can only be made in the Rebirth State. If it is made in the Immortal State, it will probably be criticized to death.

The monk glanced at Cao Zhen helplessly and sighed, "If the abbot hadn't ordered me to take good care of you, you would have died long ago. But how could a mere Taoist thief like you be valued so highly by the abbot?"

Just as he was about to say a few more words, he saw the other person's forehead crack open, and their vertically shaped eyes suddenly opened.

A golden light shot out from his eyes, soaring straight into the sky and intertwining with the Mercy Horn in the air.

Then, the Buddha statue on the Compassionate Ship stood up, and the Cyber ​​True Scripture resounded through the heavens. Heaven and earth stood still at that moment, as a star lord concealed heavenly secrets, descending upon this place.

The Buddha in the air did not strike down with his palm, but instead leaned closer to look at Cao Zhen, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Cao Zhen, now that you've remembered, why haven't you returned to your place?"

Cao Zhen first closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a clarity as clear as a spring.

The shattered physical body begins to regenerate, the inner demons that entangle the mind are severed one by one, and the mind is restored to its original purity.

Although he was naked, Cao Zhen's body was flawless, the sandalwood fragrance lingered on his body, and a halo appeared behind him, demonstrating immense supernatural powers and magic.

Bowing respectfully to the Buddha statue, Cao Zhen earnestly said, "The Buddhist kingdom has not yet been established, so I dare not return to my post."

"To be honest," Cao Zhen said with a slight smile, "one cannot return to one's rightful place until the inner demons are eliminated."

"Indeed, go."

The Buddha's light dissipated, and the sudden strange phenomenon left the old monk speechless with astonishment.

Cao Zhen turned to look at the old man, then suddenly smiled and unleashed a powerful surge of magic that instantly restored the old man's body.

"This... Cao Zhen, who exactly are you?"

Cao Zhen did not speak, but made a mysterious hand gesture, which was exactly the same as the mudra of the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit.

Each Buddhist-style star deity has its own unique Dharma seal characteristics, each one being one of a kind, a mark exclusive to the Buddhist-style star deity.

Upon seeing this gesture, the monk finally understood.

No wonder the abbot values ​​this person so much! No wonder he was still protected even after making such a big mistake!

Cao Zhen, are you the incarnation of the God of Universal Blessing?
For nearly a century, Bodhisattva Puhui has rarely responded to the prayers of believers. People say that Puhui has passed away, but little did they know that he was preparing such a grand scheme.

He concealed countless heavenly secrets and made countless guiding gestures, ultimately leading his reincarnated form back to Buddhism, and even bringing back a body of Taoist cultivation.

Although it is unknown what Bodhisattva Puhui intends to do, this action is in line with the Bodhisattva Puhui's decision to abandon Taoism and embrace Buddhism in the past, which is a method of harmony between humans and gods.

Entering Buddhism requires going through the three delusion and three poison, staining the physical body with filth and pain, which happens to coincide with the incident of being beaten up by Chen Yu just now.

With the key event completed, the embodiment of inclusive finance has returned to its rightful place.

Sensing Cao Zhen's rapidly increasing strength, the monk immediately cupped his hands in congratulations, then respectfully asked, "Minister Cao, was being soundly beaten by Chen Yu just now also part of the plan?"

Cao Zhen, who had just been wearing a compassionate smile, couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing these words.

Without giving a direct answer, he turned around, his back to the old monk, and said, "If you think so, then so be it."

"Was the fall of Tianmu City also your doing?"

"...If you think so, then so be it."

"You got beaten up like a dog by Chen Yu, and you wanted to get revenge on him, but you ended up getting the consequences yourself, is that it?"

"..."

"That……"

"Stop asking, ask something else instead."

"Where do we go next? To reorganize the Disaster Response Department?"

Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No need, Ma Yueru is there, she can do a good job. Continue developing 'Little Dreams,' let the fines be fines, we can earn them back from the disaster. After that, we'll go to the Xu Group."

"Of course."

With one step, Cao Zhen carried the old man and flew rapidly. Half a day later, they arrived at the headquarters of the Xu Group and rushed into "Xu Zilong's" office.

Upon seeing Cao Zhen suddenly rush in, Lei Ying, Xu Zilong's secretary, was about to sound the alarm when Xu Zilong stopped her.

Staring at Cao Zhen, "Xu Zilong" looked up at the top of the other's head, trying to figure out what he was thinking. After a moment, he asked, "Minister Cao, what do you want to see me about?"

"I can remove the calamity that befalls you. I can find the Nascent Soul permit you desire. I have only one condition: help me deal with Chen Yu."

Xu Zilong wanted to refuse, but the other party offered too much.

Achieving Nascent Soul cultivation was his long-cherished wish, and he was willing to do anything for it.

At this moment, even a second of hesitation would be disrespectful to the Nascent Soul's permission.

Looking at the black cat in his arms and then at Cao Zhen's thoughts, "Xu Zilong" confirmed the other party's identity and nodded, saying, "Deal."
