Great Luo Dharma Seal Evolves! Great Luo Dharma Incantation!

As the system's voice faded, a cultivation art appeared in Lu Li's mind.

Great Luo Dharma Seal!

The secret manual for the Great Luo Dharma Seal consisted of long passages of golden scriptures, totaling over one hundred thousand words.

Beside the scriptures, a golden Arhat was continuously demonstrating the hand seals.

There were eight types of seals: the Vajra Seal, Heavenly Dragon Seal, Sumeru Seal, Bodhi Seal, Great Thousand Seal, Immeasurable Seal, Wisdom Seal, and Nirvana Seal.

They looked quite formidable.

However, Lu Li summoned the system panel and, upon glancing at the end of the scriptures, his brows furrowed instantly.

"...My Buddhist disciples, practice the Great Luo Dharma Seal with unremitting perseverance, and you shall surely perceive your true nature and attain Buddhahood on the spot."

This was a manual that taught people how to become a Buddha?

Lu Li was stunned.

He scanned through it again at high speed, confirming once more that this was indeed nothing more than a supreme manual for attaining Buddhahood.

It contained no powerful martial arts.

It could neither strengthen the physical body nor improve cultivation and realm.

He had been happy for nothing.

Wait, perhaps this Great Luo Dharma Seal could evolve just like the Vajra Art!

Lu Li's spirits lifted.

"Junior Brother, is there something wrong with that Buddhist scripture?"

At this moment, seeing Lu Li's strange expression, Bai Jinfei, who was sitting in the main seat, could not help but ask.

"Nothing at all. I was just ruminating on that Great Joy Zen Method from earlier," Lu Li replied with a smile as he set down the Buddhist scripture.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinfei burst into loud laughter. "Hahahaha, I thought you were indifferent to women. So, you have a penchant for the bhikshunis of the Three Thousand Buddhist Sects; no wonder you didn't care for the beauties I have here."

This... he had been misunderstood.

Lu Li instinctively wanted to explain, but remembering his persona as a member of the Demonic Sect, he nodded and said, "Senior Brother, you guessed right."

"Haha, when the opportunity arises, I'll take you to the Ten Thousand Demon City to broaden your horizons. In the auction houses there, they have not only the nuns from the Three Thousand Buddhist Sects but also the priestesses from the Daoist sects!"

Bai Jinfei gave him a lecherous grin.

Lu Li's heart stirred at these words.

The Ten Thousand Demon City was the largest demonic city on Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

It was also the only demonic city that possessed a teleportation array capable of leaving the mountain!

However, it was impossible for an ordinary person to use that array; one couldn't even get close to it.

He still needed to reach the Golden Core stage!

Thinking of this, Lu Li smiled. "Senior Brother, let's talk about those priestesses and nuns later. I need to return to my cultivation now. Please give me the spirit stones, and also, could I borrow these Buddhist scriptures and manuals to study for a while?"

"Sure!"

Bai Jinfei nodded readily.

Then, he gave his right hand a light flick.

With a flash of faint white light, five five-colored storage rings appeared out of thin air on his fingers.

"Junior Brother, there are one thousand medium-grade spirit stones in this storage ring; you can count them. Also, I'll give you this storage ring as well."

Bai Jinfei removed a yellow jade storage ring and, with a gentle flick of his hand, sent it toward Lu Li.

One thousand medium-grade spirit stones?

And he was giving him the storage ring too?

Lu Li felt a bit surprised. He reached out, grabbed the ring, and probed it with his divine sense.

It was a basic storage ring.

The space inside was about one hundred cubic meters.

Neatly stacked inside were one thousand orange-yellow square spirit stones, each one inch wide, one inch thick, and two inches long.

They were indeed medium-grade spirit stones.

"Senior Brother, you are being a bit too generous. Even exchanging low-grade spirit stones for medium-grade ones usually incurs a loss; wouldn't this mean I'm taking advantage of you?" Lu Li asked with a smile.

"Junior Brother, you are clever, diligent in your cultivation, and most importantly, you are lucky. You were able to find a low-grade ghost spirit just by wandering through the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave. Someone like you will go very, very far on the path of cultivation! Junior Brother, I think highly of you, so I truly want to be friends with you. Naturally, I wouldn't fuss over such a small favor," Bai Jinfei said with a frank and sincere expression.

"Senior Brother is too kind. Thank you, Senior Brother; then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lu Li naturally didn't believe a word of Bai Jinfei's nonsense, but he still cupped his hands and thanked him with a beaming smile.

He then slipped the yellow jade storage ring onto the pinky of his left hand, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

Whew.

Finally, he had some money.

With these spirit stones, he would definitely be able to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining within two or three months!

"Senior Brother, you may take back your spirit ghost now. Please."

Lu Li pulled out the Ghost Raising Tower and activated it directly.

Hum.

The Ghost Raising Tower flashed with golden light, and the spirit ghost inside was released.

As soon as the spirit ghost emerged, it instinctively tried to flee.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Bai Jinfei reached out with a large hand, snatching the fleeing spirit ghost out of thin air and tucking it into his sleeve.

"Many thanks for your hospitality, Senior Brother. Farewell!"

At this, Lu Li retracted the Ghost Raising Tower, swept up the Buddhist scriptures and cultivation manuals from the floor, and immediately took his leave.

He had to hurry back to cultivate!

And while he was at it, see if the Great Luo Dharma Seal could be evolved!

"Very well, Junior Brother, take care. I shall see you out." Bai Jinfei rolled his sleeves, put away his banner, and smiled.

"Haha, no need to trouble yourself with those few steps, Senior Brother. You should go back to keeping your beauty company." Lu Li teased, waved his hand, and darted out to the hall entrance in a single bound.

"Wait, Junior Brother!"

Suddenly, Bai Jinfei called out.

"Hm?"

Lu Li stopped in his tracks and turned around. "Senior Brother, is there something else?"

"There is!"

Bai Jinfei's expression was incredibly grave. "And it is a matter of the utmost importance!"

"Oh?"

Lu Li raised an eyebrow.

"Master is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Given his strength, he likely has a high chance of success. Once he succeeds, both your status and mine within the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect will rise accordingly."

Bai Jinfei frowned as he spoke.

"That is a joyous occasion, Senior Brother. Why do you look so troubled?"

Lu Li was somewhat puzzled.

"Indeed, it is a joyous occasion. However..." Bai Jinfei let out a helpless sigh. "Master has quite a few enemies."

"Quite a few? Just how many are we talking about?"

Lu Li felt a faint sense of unease.

"There are thousands of Golden Core cultivators in the Demonic Sect, and Ghost Demon True Person has offended half of them. That is the saying circulating throughout the entire Demonic Sect. In reality, even that is an understatement. Master... has grudges with at least seventy percent of the Golden Core cultivators in the Demonic path."

As he said this, Bai Jinfei's face turned bitter.

"How could that be? How could Master end up offending seventy percent of the Golden Core cultivators in the entire Demonic Sect?"

Lu Li was shocked.

How did he even manage that?

"Sigh, it wasn't actually anything too serious. It's just that Master used to be quite 'refined and easygoing,' and he had a habit of habitually greeting people's parents, so..."

Bai Jinfei left the second half of his sentence unsaid.

Lu Li: "..."

If that was the case, wouldn't he be easily targeted by others the moment he stepped out of the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect under the title of Ghost Demon True Person's disciple? He wouldn't even know how he died!

No wonder the disciples of Ghost Demon True Person were replaced so frequently!

He had fallen into a massive pit!

"Once Master breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, people will inevitably come to offer their congratulations, including his old enemies. Those enemies are also exceptionally gifted, and many have already reached the Nascent Soul stage themselves. Naturally, they won't openly tear their faces off with Master, but it is highly likely they will send their juniors to provoke us and trample on Master's reputation."

Bai Jinfei's brows were locked in a tight frown.

"Will people die?"

Lu Li immediately grasped the implication and asked.

"Yes."

Bai Jinfei's expression grew even heavier. "Not long ago, when Master broke through to the late stage of Golden Core and held a small banquet, someone came to crash the party. Two Senior Brothers died, and one Senior Sister was crippled. The reason I spent a fortune to buy your spirit ghost was to curry favor with an elder and borrow a treasure to protect myself."

Lu Li: "..."

At this moment, Bai Jinfei's expression suddenly shifted, and he chuckled, "So, Junior Brother, would you like to buy a vial of spirit blood? I have a vial of Golden Core Red Flame Flood Dragon spirit blood here that can help you reach the perfection of Qi Refining in a very short time! For a limited time, it's only nine hundred and ninety-nine medium-grade spirit stones! Buy it now and get ten stunning beauties for free! Don't miss out!"

"Senior Brother Bai, this... were you just joking?"

Lu Li's eyes widened slightly.

"Not at all. Everything I just said is true; I can swear it to our founder. So, are you buying this spirit blood or not?"

Bai Jinfei narrowed his eyes, revealing a fox-like grin.

Hmph, so this guy has been plotting this the whole time!

Lu Li snorted coldly in his heart.

However, his expression remained unchanged. After pondering for a moment, he cupped his hands, "Senior Brother, please allow me to go back and consider it."

"Very well, Junior Brother, please."

Bai Jinfei gestured for him to leave.

Lu Li nodded and turned directly to exit the palace.

Soon, he returned to his own Star Gazing Tower.

Hum.

The moment the restrictions of the Star Gazing Tower rose.

Ding! A system notification rang in his mind:

"Congratulations to the host. Your Great Luo Dharma Seal, having listened to the supreme Buddhist scriptures, has gained great enlightenment and evolved into the Great Luo Dharma Incantation."
