Life Is Like a Play, All on Acting Skills

"That's more like it!"

Qi Zixiao put her hands behind her back, regained her previous solemn demeanor, and followed the Buddha's Disciple out of the temple, heading towards the outside.

The temple gradually returned to tranquility.

It wasn't until several dozen breaths later that someone finally spoke.

"This woman has a limitless future..."

"Talented individuals are like dragons, but how many generations have passed without such a prodigy?"

"It is said that those people from Central Province are also far superior to their peers!"

"The world is about to change; it's hard to say whether it will become more beautiful or bring about widespread suffering."

"The secrets of heaven are obscured; we cannot fathom them..."

"With chaos approaching and numerous variables, it's impossible to predict the future."

Hearing the monks' sighs, Benxin clasped his hands together and slowly spoke, "Why care so much? It is our good fortune to have obtained the Diamond Sutra today. Let us study it carefully..."

"What you say makes sense, senior brother!"

Everyone praised it.

Just then, a powerful voice suddenly transmitted its message...

"Abbot Liaochen of Fayan Temple Liao Chen to worship Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and seek the true scriptures!"

The sound was deafening, resounding throughout the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, leaving countless disciples stunned...

However, this was only the beginning.

Outside the mountain gate, Liao Chen's arrival seemed to have pressed some kind of 'mysterious switch,' and one after another, old monks arrived, some wearing magnificent robes and others wearing patched robes.

"Abbot Xuan Kong of Great Compassion Temple has come to Wanfo Xuan Kong to pay homage to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and seek the true scriptures!"

"Nameless Temple..."

"They arrived really quickly!"

Benxin sighed softly, "As expected, the commotion just now couldn't be kept secret."

One after another, cries of "Paying homage to Buddha and seeking the true scriptures" rang out.

And each of them was incredibly devout, yet they were completely unaware that Qi Zixiao, with two 'dim halos' above her head, followed behind the Buddha's Disciple and floated lightly out of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

They were unaware that the person who instigated the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's simultaneous chanting of Buddhas and triggered the bestowal of heavenly merits had already passed them by.

In fact, if one did not know the inside story, no one would associate such a person with profound Buddhist knowledge with a young woman...

Outside of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

The Buddha's Disciple said sternly, "Please!"

"Hmm, not bad."

Qi Zixiao smiled calmly and casually tossed over an 'unactivated' phone, "Here you go!"

Then, she turned around, soared into the sky, and disappeared from sight in an instant.

The Buddha's Disciple took the 'phone' and looked at it. He found it was a Spirit Stone, and his face immediately turned green!

"Qi Zixiao!!!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"If it weren't for Master's orders, why would I have led the way for you? You dared to humiliate me with a mere Spirit Stone! I will never share this place with you again...!!!"

"Um?"

"Are there some kind of formations on this Spirit Stone?"

"It looks somewhat familiar."

"It's like the formation I saw that fat man use outside the Purple Mansion Holy Land before..."

Recalling the scene at that time.

"Vomit!!!"

The Buddha's Disciple almost vomited, and even vaguely felt that he still smelled terrible on his body, which put him under tremendous psychological pressure!

"However... this thing is rather interesting, so this Buddha's Disciple will accept it!"

He picked up his phone and started researching...

Before Qi Zixiao had flown too far, she received a notification from Sister A'Wu that Buddha's Disciple Refrain from Anger had already registered an account, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"Good!"

"First, plant a seed, and when it sprouts, launch the phone throughout the Cultivation World; only then can you sell it for a high price!"

Why give them a cell phone?

It wasn't that Qi Zixiao found the Buddha's Disciple pleasing to the eye.

Instead... hehehe, let him experience it first, and incidentally create a buzz within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect ~~~

When those Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect disciples want to buy, that's when we'll reap the benefits!

The main problem is, we're poor right now!

Qi Zixiao sighed.

They used to have over two billion Spirit Stone, but now? They're completely broke!

Fortunately, the last material for the Avatar has been gathered. The next step is to refine the Avatar...

"But before that, I need to meet up with my uncle and return to the Purple Mansion."

She sped up and arrived at the agreed location in less than half an hour, but didn't see Su Muxue. Just as she was about to take out her phone to contact her, the stone beside her suddenly changed, and Su Muxue appeared...

"Did you succeed?"

Su Muxue smiled brightly, "I saw an Immaculate Relic fly out of the pagoda..."

"It's done, Uncle-Master, what about you?"

Qi Zixiao countered with a question.

But at that moment, a terrifying aura emanated from the direction of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect...

Su Muxue's expression changed slightly. Without saying a word, she grabbed Qi Zixiao and used her speed to disappear in an instant!

Rumble!!!

A huge golden handprint emerged directly from within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and then pressed down hard on the spot where the two had been standing!

Bang!!!!

The area within a radius of dozens of miles was instantly shaken!

Then, the mountains and rivers shattered, and boulders turned to dust, leaving behind a terrifying handprint that was bottomless!

"Traitor!!!"

Within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, a roar echoed far, far away...

Qi Zixiao recognized the voice. Seeing the place where the two had once stood, now completely destroyed, she felt a chill run down her spine. "Uncle-Master, what... what have you done?!"

"I didn't do anything!"

Su Muxue pouted her red lips, seemingly quite annoyed. "They just picked all the Bodhi Seed from their Bodhi Mother Tree. They don't need them anyway, so isn't it a waste to leave them hanging there?"

"This old guy actually got so angry. He's really getting more and more stingy. Even as the Holy Master, he's still so miserly!"

Qi Zixiao: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a..."

She was at a loss for words!

Stingy?

mean?

Okay!

What is the Bodhi Mother Tree of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect?

That is Bodhi planted by the founder of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect School. It must be several million years old!

Although the Bodhi Mother Tree has never evolved into Immortal Medicine, it is already among the top-tier spiritual medicines.

Moreover, each Bodhi Seed contains profound Daoist principles, and there are great benefits to practicing under the Bodhi Mother Tree!

But you picked all of their Bodhi Seed?!

"Do you think they're stingy?"

Su Muxue gritted her teeth, still somewhat annoyed. "It's just that it's inconvenient to bring you along right now, and since you've already condensed two rounds of Merit Golden Ring, it's not suitable for you to wander around outside. You need to go back to your Purple Mansion to refine your Avatar to ensure your safety, otherwise..."

"I absolutely have to go back and get some more of their stuff!"

"It's just a few Bodhi Seed, isn't it?"

"It's not like I haven't taken it before!"

Qi Zixiao: "... They are quite... stingy."

Although it's against my will, that's the only thing I can say at this point, right?

Alas, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect is truly pitiful.

No wonder someone who seems like a nice guy would get so Benxin, resorting to violence and even trying to hit me too...

but...

Qi Zixiao's eyes darted around, and she noticed something.

"But he was probably just putting on an act, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have only made one move, and he also knew that his martial uncle would definitely be able to escape."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked me..."

It's not that Qi Zixiao is particularly narcissistic.

Instead, she now possesses two Merit Golden Ring, making her a walking ' Child of Destiny' —why would she kill herself?

It's inevitable that he'll have an unfortunate old age and grow all sorts of hair all over his body!

Those who don't die from qi deviation are still those with sufficiently high cultivation levels.

Therefore, Qi Zixiao figured it out.

Su Muxue took advantage of the chaos to loot Bodhi Seed from the Bodhi Mother Tree. Benxin was bound to be angry when she found out, but there was nothing she could do.

They couldn't catch up, and they didn't dare kill themselves in the process, so they could only put on a show for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect...

Huh...

They look so pitiful.

"You think he's just putting on a show for the disciples and followers of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect?"

As if guessing what Qi Zixiao was thinking, Su Muxue chuckled, "He's doing this more for the benefit of the monks from other temples who come to seek scriptures!"

"First of all, he showed that he was extremely angry and in a fit of rage. Which of those monks seeking scriptures would dare not to restrain themselves?"

"..."

Qi Zixiao realized. "Brilliant!"

"From this perspective, this abbot and Holy Master of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect is also a remarkable person."

"Not a single one of these guys is stupid!" Su Muxue said, pouting. "Even if there are any, they all become smarter after dealing with me a few times."

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. Your uncle has been clever and quick-witted since childhood. As the saying goes, one is influenced by one's company... There's nothing I can do about it."

"..."

Is it really okay for you to praise yourself like that?

You've clearly taught me a lesson, haven't you?

Life truly is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

Qi Zixiao couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Muxue couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"By the way, is this Merit Golden Ring of yours because of that Buddhist scripture?"

"I think so."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible, absolutely incredible..."

"However, now that you've condensed the second round of the Merit Golden Ring, our itinerary needs to be changed!"

Su Muxue suddenly sighed, "I originally planned to go back to Central Province to pull off a big heist after getting my hands on the Immaculate Relic, but now I need to go back as soon as possible."

"Now that you don't have Avatar, it's too dangerous for you to travel outside..."

Qi Zixiao nodded slightly; she could imagine this.

Although he had previously possessed Merit Golden Ring, he had not fully revealed it. Moreover, the difference between one ring and two rings... Furthermore, the fact that almost everyone in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect knew he had two Merit Golden Ring made the situation completely different.

I'm afraid countless people will want to get rid of me after they find out!

A normal person wouldn't dare to kill?

Do you really think there aren't some ' Old Madmen ' in those sects and holy lands?

For example, those older generations who have failed to break through the barrier and whose lives are nearing their end, are still afraid of misfortune or going astray in their cultivation.

Since we're going to die anyway, what's wrong with doing our part for the sect before we die?

If there is Avatar... even if the original body is killed, it can still cultivate back, and the Merit Golden Ring will not disappear.

No?

For example, if I were killed now, I would really be dead!

Although Su Muxue is playful and feels restless if she doesn't cause trouble every day, she won't hesitate when it comes to such an important matter.

Therefore, he took Qi Zixiao with him and rushed towards the Purple Mansion at high speed.

However, before they had flown very far, Qi Zixiao spoke softly, "Uncle-Master, stop for a moment..."

"What?" Su Muxue, puzzled.

"There are a few medicinal herbs down there, and they're quite valuable..."

Ugh, I've had stomach problems for a while now. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to get an appointment, and then I'll probably have to fast for a few days. After that, I'll probably have to have a colonoscopy, which is terrifying. Waaah, please give me some monthly votes to comfort me.
