Without desire, in stillness, heaven and earth will settle themselves

"Master, this creature was born from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and has now developed intelligence. It is a creation of heaven and earth, and has never done anything evil or harmed anyone. Moreover, it is a creature imbued with spiritual energy. Why not give it a chance to live?"

Fang Zelin withdrew his gaze and then looked up at the old Daoist priest in front of him.

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist 'Divine Ability. Should he let this ginseng go?

What if he ascends to immortality?

What's wrong with exchanging one's life for the other's?

With Qingyun's abilities, using this ginseng to prolong his life is definitely worthwhile!

"Our cultivation is about seizing the creations of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. This thing, being a creation of heaven and earth, is meant for our cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing the old Daoist priest opposite him, who was already starting to go mad, Fang Zelin inwardly cursed.

Is this old Daoist priest about to succumb to demonic possession? Is he becoming a Evil Cultivator?

The old Daoist priest's aura was strange at this moment; he no longer possessed the aura that a cultivator should have.

Fang Zelin pondered this for a moment, then looked down at the ginseng spirit kneeling before him.

Gritting his teeth, he began to activate the Treatise on the Supreme One's Response).

The moment he came into contact with the old Daoist priest in front of him, he felt a fierce and malevolent aura rush towards him.

In just a moment, Fang Zelin almost lost his composure.

"Master, do you know that this method of cultivation is wrong? This method is an extraordinary path; those who cultivate this path will be struck by lightning hundreds of years later!"

Fang Zelin was on guard, sweat beading on his forehead.

This old Daoist priest was clearly suffering from Heart Demon; he needed to help stabilize the other's Dao Heart, otherwise...

"Hundreds of years from now? How could I possibly know what will happen hundreds of years from now? If I don't eat this ginseng, I'll ascend to immortality very soon!"

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest snorted angrily, "Besides, what's wrong with my method!"

"We cultivators cultivate by comprehending the creation of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. How could we possibly steal or invade it?"

"How is using this method any different from that of Outer Dao and heretics!"

Sensing the other party's Dao Heart, Fang Zelin snorted angrily, preparing to exert his power to dispel the other party's Heart Demon.

The Supreme Sensitivity allowed Fang Zelin's words to directly reach the other person's mind.

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest's expression faltered slightly, followed by a flicker of struggle.

Fang Zelin realized this and was shocked; this method was effective!

"Heaven creates all things to nourish humankind, so why should we seize the creations of heaven and earth to cultivate ourselves?"

"Shut up!"

Sensing the threat from Fang Zelin, Daoist Priest Qingyun opened his eyes.

At this moment, its left eye had turned blood red, staring straight at Fang Zelin as if it wanted to devour Fang Zelin alive.

Fang Zelin felt that this Heart Demon was about to infect him.

Fang Zelin realized this and gritted his teeth, shouting angrily.

"The Tao is always Non-Action, yet nothing is left undone."

"If rulers can uphold this principle, all things will naturally transform themselves."

"If desires arise from transformation, I will suppress them with the simplicity of namelessness."

As Fang Zelin finished reading, a surge of Daoist energy suddenly emanated from his body and spread towards the old Daoist.

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest instantly understood its meaning.

Using Fang Zelin's Treatise on the Supreme One's Response, he was able to quickly understand its meaning.

When the Way governs, even feudal lords can allow all things to grow and develop on their own, and to thrive naturally. If greed arises from this natural growth, then the Way should be used to suppress it!

In an instant, the old Daoist's right eye regained its clarity.

Seeing that this was effective, Fang Zelin was overjoyed and continued reciting.

"The nameless and unadorned are things one would not desire."

"If you do not seek stillness, heaven and earth will naturally find their order!"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I will now sever this Heart Demon!"

With the profound Daoist scriptures entering their hearts, the old Daoist's Dao Heart immediately stabilized, and an inexplicable Daoist aura surged within the two of them.

A wisp of crimson aura began to rise from the old Daoist priest's body, as he used his Dao Heart to suppress his Heart Demon.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the scarlet aura emanating from the old Daoist priest vanished completely.

Then his eyes regained their clarity.

The old Daoist priest took a breath and glanced around, taking in the scene before him.

A look of shame immediately appeared on his face. "This humble Daoist is incompetent, causing Heart Demon to fester and nearly leading Outer Dao. Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

The old Daoist priest stood up and gave Fang Zelin a deep Daoist bow.

Fang Zelin tried to stop him, but the old Daoist priest insisted on bowing.

Then he bowed to the ginseng spirit, saying, "I am ashamed; I almost caused trouble today. Please forgive me."

After saying this, he put away his whisk. "My Dao Heart is still unstable at the moment, and I need to return to the mountain to cultivate in peace. Fellow Daoist, if you have time to come to Jade Void Mountain, I will prepare generous gifts and welcome you with open arms."

After Qingyun finished speaking, she turned around and took to the air.

They vanished without a trace in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin opened his mouth wide and hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "Daoist Master, where is Jade Void Mountain???"

The sound came from afar, but there was no response for a long time, so the other party must not have heard it.

No, this

Fang Zelin looked into the distance and became anxious. He had finally encountered a cultivator.

Why did you leave an address but not specify the exact location? How is he supposed to find it?

But the old Daoist priest flew too fast, and since he couldn't fly, he couldn't catch up at all.

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin looked utterly helpless.

That old Daoist priest is really unscrupulous; how could he just leave behind Jade Void Mountain and then disappear?

Fang Zelin harbored resentment, unaware that Qingyun would never know that Fang Zelin had become a monk entirely through unorthodox means.

After all, possessing such orthodox and profound Daoist scriptures, and with an even more steadfast Dao Heart, how could such a cultivator not know about Jade Void Mountain?

Moreover, having obtained this profound Daoist scripture from Fang Zelin, he was somewhat eager to return and study it more carefully, possibly hoping to be able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain once more.

This would affect his lifespan, so he naturally became a little anxious.

"Never mind, I'll ask around and see if anyone else knows about Jade Void Mountain."

Fang Zelin sighed and looked away.

But there stood a pitiful ginseng spirit by a tree root, peeking its head out at Fang Zelin.

It looked pitiful, as if it wanted to get close to Fang Zelin but was also worried that Fang Zelin would eat it.

The few ginseng leaves on its head had already fallen off a few earlier, and the remaining few looked pitiful as they swayed.

Fang Zelin looked at the ginseng and was speechless. "Stop looking at it, go on. Your smell is too strong; getting too close will affect your Dao Heart."

The ginseng essence had leaked out a little ginseng juice earlier, which almost ruined Fang Zelin's Dao Heart.

Seeing this ginseng spirit again now, he naturally felt some disdain.

Seeing Fang Zelin's disgusted look, the ginseng spirit shook the green leaves on its head and opened its mouth as if to say something.

"Go, go, hurry up and go. Hide from now on and don't let anyone see you. If someone does see you, don't let them know you're a ginseng spirit. If you're seen even once, immediately move to another place."

Fang Zelin waved his hands repeatedly, looking at the other person's pitiful appearance. He had no intention of taking this guy with him.

That old Daoist priest had clearly been cultivating for a long time, but this guy corrupted his Dao Heart.

If he were to bring that along, what difference would it make compared to having Tang Sanzang by his side?

Moreover, this thing constantly tests his Dao Heart, so it's best to avoid it!
