"What a Buddhist heart fears most is the surging tide of the mortal world."
Li Chungang explained what he knew. "Once the Buddha Heart is tainted by the mortal world, it becomes the lowest-grade, most inferior mortal world heart..."
As he spoke, Li Chungang himself grew puzzled.
Shopkeeper Tong's Buddha Heart showed not the slightest sign of being low-grade or inferior.
To everyone watching, even its gentle beats seemed to thunder in their ears.
These signs were nothing like those of an inferior Buddha Heart!
"A mortal world heart is an inferior Buddha Heart?" Shopkeeper Tong smiled. "That's exactly why I escaped from the Bodhi Temple."
That single sentence contained a wealth of information.
Everyone mulled it over carefully.
Shopkeeper Tong turned to Lin Ke again. "At most, I can support around five million instances of the Heart-to-Heart Method. Any more would put a strain on my Buddha Heart. If I supported ten million, even my thinking would slow down."
"Your thinking would only slow down?"
Lin Ke didn't know what to say.
In his previous life, hadn't those processing centers and servers taken up space everywhere?
They'd even needed large rooms dedicated to housing them.
And Shopkeeper Tong?
Just look! Just listen!

Lin Ke felt countless ideas bursting forth in his mind, impossible to stop.
Shopkeeper Tong also began to sense trouble.
"You aren't thinking of making me that host, are you?" Shopkeeper Tong looked wary, his tone exceedingly gentle as he tried to awaken Lin Ke's compassion.
"Ahem."
Lin Ke cleared his throat. "Here's the thing, Shopkeeper. If we do this well, we could earn endless profits in the future. Ten thousand taels of gold would be nothing."
Golden light immediately shone from Shopkeeper Tong's eyes-actual golden light.
Beams of gold a foot
