How can one cultivate immortality without learning modern knowledge?

Inside the high pavilion, the young lady said, "I understand! Their grand plan of expelling him failed, so they can only take a step back and use Lin Shuiyao's current image to solidify her sanctity. After all, his story... is too damaging to his image, and they'll try to salvage it as much as possible."

That story, the story about stray dogs...

Although it's only being discussed within a small circle, no one can guarantee that this story won't spread beyond its immediate circle.

It can't be contained by sealing it off.

The only way is to use a pure white robe to make Lin Shuiyao appear stunningly in front of many disciples, so that her purity can deeply impress everyone. This is what it means to salvage the situation as much as possible.

From this perspective, the third prince is not without wisdom; he is adept at seizing any opportunity.

The eldest disciple's gaze fell on Zhou Wenju's face, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Junior Brother Zhou, look at Junior Sister Lin now, she's like a celestial being, truly not someone that mortals like pigs or dogs could even touch, is she?"

The second senior brother added insult to injury… oh, no, he added: “Such a beauty, so pure, and Junior Brother Zhou didn’t even touch her, did he? He personally offered her to the Third Prince to enjoy; such loyalty is unparalleled in the world!”

Zhou Wenju smiled: "If you two senior brothers like to watch, then take a few more glances..."

The eldest brother raised his eyes, and suddenly his gaze became fixed!

Something is wrong!

Lin Shuiyao, who had just been incredibly pure and holy, seemed to have changed her image at this moment.

It gives off a lewd feeling...

Why do I have this strange feeling?

My God, her face was flushed, like willow catkins.

"What's going on?" a disciple exclaimed. "Yang Hua's figure?"

"A form as delicate as willow catkins, fickle as water, heavens, this isn't a garment of purity, it's a garment reflecting the heart!"

"What is this? Exposing her promiscuous nature in front of so many people..."

High up in the pavilion, the young lady in purple suddenly widened her eyes: "Yingxin!"

"Ying Xinyi, revealing his true nature, my God..." the maid exclaimed softly, "This...this is what he's going to do? He's going to ruin Lin Shuiyao's reputation! How...how dare he do this?"

Yingxinyi, as the name suggests, is about seeing one's own heart.

Generally speaking, this kind of magical clothing is a powerful tool for healing the mind and a means of calming the mind. It exposes one's weaknesses, allowing one to address them accordingly. It is commonly used by spiritual practitioners and Buddhists. It is by no means evil; in fact, it is an extremely righteous object.

However, it also depends on where it is used.

This is Huding Mountain.

It is daytime.

In front of countless disciples, Lin Shuiyao put on this dress in public, intending to solidify her sanctity and eliminate any potential negative rumors. Unexpectedly, it exposed her true nature.

With just this one outfit, her "fickle" reputation will be forever etched on her forehead.

You'll never be able to get rid of it for the rest of your life.

At that moment, she was completely unaware of her own smugness, as proud as a peacock...

The eldest disciple suddenly turned around, pointed at Zhou Wenju, and shouted sharply, "This isn't a clean robe, it's a heart-reflecting robe!"

Zhou Wenju said calmly, "Senior Brother, you don't even know that Yingxin Robe is also a Clean Robe? It's just that it has transcended the limitations of the Human level and entered the Earth level! The Mountain Lord ordered me to do my utmost to refine something above the high Human level. I've refined an 'Earth level' Clean Robe, isn't that a perfect fulfillment of the Mountain Lord's order?"

The eldest disciple was dumbfounded and speechless.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

There are three levels of cleanliness. The first level, "Clean," means that mosquitoes and flies won't land on it, and dust won't get on it.

The character "地" (dì) not only has the function of cleanliness, but also the function of reflection, reflecting one's inner self.

In addition to the functions mentioned above, the top-tier model also has a "cleaning" function, cleaning both the inside and outside...

This is basic common sense.

Therefore, his cleanliness, reaching the Earth level, precisely means that he fulfilled the mountain lord's command.

If the person wearing the clothes has a problem, can you blame the clothes for not being good enough?

It doesn't make sense logically at all!

Lin Shuiyao's expression changed!

She finally heard what the people below were saying...

Yingxinyi?

Do I have developed poplar-like symptoms?

OMG……

Her hand suddenly reached for her clothes, trying to take them off. However, these were no ordinary clothes; they were crafted artifacts that fit her perfectly.

She couldn't take it off for a while.

The third prince's face turned ashen. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the clothes, pulling hard with both arms.

hiss!

This wedding dress, which had just been made and was less than fifteen minutes old, was torn in two!

With a tear in his clothes, a beam of light suddenly pierced into the third prince's brow.

The third prince's eyes widened suddenly, his entire body stiffened on the platform, and he slowly collapsed...

Inside the secret chamber, the Seventeenth Elder's expression suddenly changed!

With a flick of his finger, he wrote a single character in the air: Fly!

The words are written, and the person takes flight!

Flying towards the square...

A dark figure flashed through the air and appeared beside the third prince. With a sudden movement, the figure caught the prince's falling body. This was the prince's captain of the personal guard.

With a whoosh, the seventeenth elder landed in the air, and with a swish, another person landed, who was none other than the mountain lord.

The two powerful figures simultaneously reached out, their fingers pointing towards the Third Prince's brow. The moment they touched him, their fingers trembled...

"Dead!"

boom!

Like a thunderclap exploding in Lin Shuiyao's ears, she stumbled and fell on the high platform. Her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

died?

Is the third prince dead?

How could this happen?

On the plaza below, all the disciples' expressions changed.

Inside the high pavilion, both the young lady and the maid's expressions changed...

call……

A figure traversed the sky and appeared in front of Zhou Wenju.

This person was none other than Du Yunhe, Zhou Wenju's master of weapon crafting.

Du Yunhe had already reached the realm of literary cultivation, possessing the demeanor of a great Confucian scholar. The moment he landed, a fierce wind arose. Like a sage who had suddenly appeared, he stared at Zhou Wenju, his voice stern: "What have you done?"

"Reporting to Master!" Zhou Wenju bowed deeply. "This disciple has strictly followed the Mountain Lord's orders in everything, and would never dare to overstep them in the slightest. Why is Master angry?"

"Traitor!" Du Yunhe roared in fury, "The Third Prince died because of you, and you dare to..."

"Master, you are mistaken!" Zhou Wenju interrupted directly, "Everyone saw it clearly! The Third Prince forcibly tore a woman's clothes in public. How could Heaven tolerate such beastly behavior? How could the Way of the Weapons tolerate it? He was killed by the laws of propriety. What does this have to do with me?"

Everyone instantly understood.

Cleanliness of clothes arises from etiquette.

It possesses the power of etiquette and law.

For ordinary people, the etiquette of cleaning clothes is merely symbolic and has no real power to harm them.

However, the clean clothes that reach the prefecture level are not ordinary.

Its ritualistic and legalistic power has been transformed into a form of harm.

Forcibly tearing open a woman's clean clothes is a grave violation of etiquette and law.

The killing under the law and etiquette is therefore exceptionally fierce.

The Third Prince was not a weapon refiner, so he didn't understand these rules.

Seeing Lin Shuiyao becoming increasingly lewd and shameful in public, her clothes exposed against the backdrop of her clean attire, he didn't care about anything else and directly tore her clothes off.

Only he could tear it; it was obviously inconvenient for anyone else to do so.

This tear.

The power of propriety struck him head-on, instantly erasing his consciousness; he died...

Du Yunhe's heart was in turmoil, filled with shock and panic, and he had no idea how to answer.

Now a grave mistake has been made, all because of one thing: the disciple before them has a far greater mastery of weapon crafting than they had imagined. He has actually forged a level-earth weapon, transformed his pure robes into the "Reflecting Heart Wonderland," and thus created the majesty of ritual and law.

Who would have thought of this?

His master hadn't expected it, the mountain lord hadn't expected it, and even the exceptionally knowledgeable seventeenth elder of the Mo family hadn't anticipated it.

High up in the pavilion, the young lady sighed deeply: "I thought that ruining Lin Shuiyao's reputation was the limit of what he could do, but I never expected that he could actually... take the life of the Third Prince."

"Miss...Miss..." the maid cried, "I think he makes sense. The Third Prince was killed by the weapon; he was at fault first. What does it have to do with him?"

"You..." The young lady was speechless.

On the high platform, the mountain lord raised his eyes, and Zhou Wenju came into view.

Zhou Wenju slowly straightened up and looked up at him.

At that moment, he seemed to have suddenly changed his appearance.

No longer a timid outer disciple, but a true scholar with integrity.

"Zhou Wenju, did you do all this on purpose?" the mountain lord asked in a deep voice.

As the wind picked up, his voice carried clearly to every word throughout the venue.

Thick fog billowed in the valley, and because of this sentence, the endless winter cold began.

Zhou Wenju said, "Why do you say that, Mountain Lord? Everything I have done was arranged by you. May I ask how I have overstepped your bounds in the slightest?"

The mountain lord's pent-up anger instantly filled the sky and covered the earth.

He arranged everything.

Yes, on the surface, that's certainly true!

He asked Zhou Wenju to make the wedding dress.

Zhou Wenju did as instructed.

He listed the levels of the wedding dress: above the high-level human level.

Zhou Wenju did as instructed and reached the prefecture level!

The materials were chosen by the eldest brother on the orders of the mountain lord.

To ensure that this wedding dress is pure and holy, and not evil.

The wedding dress made by Zhou Wenju was indeed pure and holy, and not evil at all.

The entire process was arranged by him, the mountain lord; every step was his arrangement; and the entire process was under his observation.

But all that was good eventually turned into "evil" inexplicably, leading to unprecedentedly serious consequences.

The dignified third prince of Rulan actually died at Huding Mountain!

His first reaction was to capture this traitor from Huding Mountain and use his head to apologize to the Prince of Rulan.

However, when this young man refuted him, he was speechless...
