Primordial Era: I, the Creation Lotus, will absolutely not be struck this time!

Chapter 118 Zhunti seduces a disciple of the Chan Sect

In any case, at this moment, all eyes in the prehistoric world were focused on the human race.

"To be honest, I have been lacking in manners. It has been so long since I had the chance to pay my respects to the Sage, but I have met the Sage's esteemed disciple first."

Zhunti is shameless. Now that Yuanshi has become a saint, he doesn't dare to linger in front of Yuanshi, but saying nice things is what he's best at.

He naturally ended up hanging out with Ran Deng and the others.

This was the first time that Ju Liusun and Cihang had been praised as disciples of a sage.

In particular, Zhunti is a late-stage Quasi-Saint, a master of the same generation as his teacher.

I almost got tricked into having a placenta by Zhunti.

In addition, Yuanshi always said that the Chan Sect only accepted True Immortals of Fortune and Virtue.

He felt smug for a moment, and learned Yuanshi's arrogance perfectly.

Upon seeing this, Zhunti sneered inwardly and looked down on Yuanshi's disciples of the Chan Sect.

At the same time, a decision was made in my mind.

It was already a foregone conclusion that he would become a saint one step behind Yuanshi, so he simply poached someone from the sect, so that once Yuanshi became a saint, he could directly establish a large sect.

Wouldn't it be nice?

However, one must be mindful of the method, since Yuanshi is a sage, and who knows if he might be eavesdropping on their conversation.

He glanced at the lamp discreetly, and their eyes met by chance.

Zhunti even noticed a strange emotion in Dipankara's eyes.

Zhunti was overjoyed and tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist Randeng, why don't we travel together among the human race?"

Ran Deng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Very well, this will allow the disciples to learn from the style of their predecessors."

"Ah, we should learn from each other. The shining qualities of the disciples of sages are also very worthy of my learning."

After some probing, Zhunti confirmed that Randeng was one of his own kind and not entirely devoted to the Chan Sect.

He glanced at Randeng and noticed that Randeng's Spiritual Pivot Lamp was not in his hand.

Combined with what Yuanshi heard when he became a saint, we know that it was taken away by Yuanshi.

Zhunti understood everything in an instant.

"So, where does Fellow Daoist Ran Deng plan to go next?"

"The Chan Sect has a total of twelve disciples, and ten more disciples are scattered among the human race. I plan to join them during my travels."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's eyes lit up even more.

Good heavens, are you trying to send me all the disciples of the Chan Sect in one go?

Zhunti subtly questioned Randeng with his eyes.

The lamp lit up with a barely perceptible nod, then shook its head.

If you have the ability to brainwash people, then take them all with you.

hiss~

Zhunti gasped.

This was such a grand gesture that even Zhunti was a little scared.

But excitement followed. No matter how much they looked down on these disciples, their origins were all from the Primordial Selection.

It's another Golden Immortal; they really have a connection.

He's ready to take it.

"Two esteemed disciples of saints—"

Without hesitation, Zhunti began to curry favor with Julusun and Cihang.

The lamp-lighting was also taken by Zhunti.

Damn you, Yuanshi, you stole my innate spiritual treasure! Your Chan Sect can forget about it.

The guide beside him also understood, though he didn't understand why Randeng was so bold.

But since Zhunti was going to do it, he had to follow suit.

"Zhunti, Fellow Daoist Randeng and your two disciples of the Sage have come from afar. Why don't we find a secluded place to wash away our fatigue before traveling together among the human race?"

As they spoke, a small golden inkstone flashed past in the guide's hand.

Ju Liusun and Cihang suddenly widened their eyes.

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, they could clearly see that the small inkstone was actually a golden pool.

The water in the pool inside is the color of seven precious crystals, and it faintly exudes an aura of merit.

They didn't notice much more.

Their eyes widened in disbelief. They were so poor they were practically urinating blood; they had never seen anything so good before.

Even Ran Deng was taken aback.

Seeing the reactions of the others, Zhunti chuckled inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face.

"Brother is right. Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, the two disciples of the sages, our West once had a period of horrific times, but there is a saying among the human race."

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. The Eight Treasures Merit Pool was formed by the merits bestowed upon us by heaven when my brother and I took in the souls of the dead on Mount Sumeru."

"It has the effect of stabilizing one's realm and assisting in cultivation."

As they listened to Zhunti's introduction, Julusun and Cihang's breathing became much heavier.

I couldn't wait to follow Zhunti and Jieyin to take a bath.

Ju Liusun's eyes darted around.

As expected of the older generation, they have many good things on hand, except that their master is poor.

I don't know if I'll ever get my hands on this thing.

Ju Liusun's reaction naturally did not escape Zhunti's notice, but Zhunti did not care.

Just a minor immortal.

However, when it comes to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Zhunti still feels a little heartbroken.

Since the establishment of the underworld, taking in the souls of the dead has not only failed to bring them merit, but has also been counted as karmic debt.

Therefore, this Eight Treasures Merit Pool is only impressive to look at for now, since it has a layer of golden light of merit.

They're just fooling these sages' disciples who've just come down from the mountain and haven't seen the world yet.

Qingyi also knew of the existence of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, but because of his intervention back then.

The damage Luo caused to the West was not as great as in the original timeline, so the thing created by Zhunti and Jieyin is now just a name, still called the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and it no longer has the function of washing away karma.

It's the most basic version of the basic version, and Qingyi wouldn't even look at it.

This was the only possession left of the Zhunti brothers. Luckily, they hadn't carried it with them before, otherwise it would definitely have been taken away by Nuwa.

time flies.

Under Ran Deng's deliberate guidance, the group grew stronger and stronger.

From the initial two, Ju Liusun and Cihang, there are now three more: Yu Ding, Taiyi, and Huanglong.

Julusun's initial greed for the Eight Treasures Merit Pool had vanished after witnessing Zhunti's actions.

He had never seen such a powerful person before and dared not provoke them.

However, it was precisely because Zhunti was both powerful and approachable that he won widespread praise from the disciples of the Chan Sect.

Even Yu Ding has started to enjoy taking baths.

One day, Randeng and his group encountered another group of disciples of the Chan Sect led by Guangchengzi.

"Vice Leader, fellow disciples."

Guang Chengzi greeted him.

Behind him stood Chi Jingzi and the remaining disciples of the Chan Sect.

Upon seeing Zhunti and Jieyin, he couldn't help but frown.

"Senior brother, this is a prospective senior."

Ju Liusun explained.

Guang Chengzi, seeing that Zhunti was merely a quasi-sage, snorted coldly and showed no respect.

"Nonsense!"

"Our master instructed us to spread the Daoist tradition. How are you all doing now?"

The disciples of the Chan Sect immediately became obedient.

"Senior brother, the human race now has the Holy Mother and the Sage of Heaven, while our Chan Sect—"

Taiyi said with some difficulty.

Isn't this just letting them steal food from the mouths of other saints?

Yuanshi wouldn't even give them a single magical treasure, so why would they risk their lives for these things?

Julusun and Cihang, the two who were the first to come into contact with Zhunti, were filled with resentment.

"Senior brother, this is simply an impossible task."

"Um?"

Guang Chengzi frowned. "I see that you two have completely forgotten the teachings of our sect!"

"Our Chan Sect elucidates the will of Heaven and saves people from suffering. This is a fortunate thing, so why can't it be proclaimed among the human race?"

"I see that all you humans know how to do is eat, drink, and have fun—"

Guang Chengzi became more and more excited as he spoke, while Randeng's face darkened.

Before Yuanshi returned, although he failed to brainwash Guangchengzi, Guangchengzi would seriously consider what he said.

Since Yuanshi returned and began to value this eldest disciple, his words no longer carried any weight.

Now they're not giving him any face at all, as if he's just eating, drinking and having fun with his disciples?

While these are all true, it's wrong of you to say them like that.

Why don't you look at how your master treats me?

"Alright, Guang Chengzi, we're all fellow disciples, let's not let outsiders laugh at us."

When Ran Deng spoke up to defuse the situation, he was met with grateful glances from Ju Liusun, Cihang, and a few others who had already been brainwashed.
