Because of Lin Yu's heaven-defying comprehension, the extent to which he comprehended cultivation techniques was beyond anyone else's reach.

As a result, he would never encounter a so-called bottleneck when breaking through to a new realm.

As long as he had enough spiritual power, he could break through to any realm his cultivation technique allowed him to reach.

Fortunately, his previous cultivation had been raised through the chat group.

Otherwise, breaking through too quickly now would have left his spirit without time to settle and solidify in the early stages, making his Yin spirit weaker than other people's.

Because mortals had no method of cultivating their Yin spirits, everyone else spent years accumulating strength before reaching the Dharma Master realm, allowing their spirits to solidify.

If Lin Yu rashly broke through, his Yin spirit might be too weak, and his soul would scatter.

Even if the system raised his cultivation, he wouldn't dare. If he got himself killed that way, he would probably go down in the records of bizarre deaths among Earth transmigrators.

Since he could pursue the Dao and longevity in peace, why court death?

By the time Lin Yu finished cultivating, the bright moon was already high in the sky. Seeing how late it was, he prepared to go to sleep.

His room was far from the master's, so he wasn't worried about staying up late and being woken the next morning.

The guest room was both cool and quiet, though someone timid might not be able to sleep there.

After Lin Yu went to bed, the candle on the table gradually burned down, and the sky slowly turned pale.

A rooster's crow heralded the arrival of a new day.

"Dawn already?" The master put away his bedding and prepared for his morning recitation.

"Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, when practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, perceived that all five aggregates were empty..."

The master tapped his wooden fish as he silently recited the Heart Sutra.

In Buddhist cultivation, it all came down to how deeply one comprehended the Heart Sutra and Buddhist teachings. The deeper the comprehension, the higher one's cultivation.

Four Eyes had it rough. His room was the closest, and every tap the master made sounded as though it were right beside his ear.

"I can't take it anymore!"

Four Eyes removed the coconut shells, porcelain bowls, and cotton from his ears.

"Even lamp wicks can't block it out!"

Four Eyes pulled out the last lamp wick and roared in exasperation.

By then, Jia Le had folded his quilt and gotten up. He saw Four Eyes carrying a chest as he headed outside.

"Master, where are you going before it's even light?"

Jia Le asked in puzzlement.

"To buy a house!" Four Eyes roared over his shoulder.

Then he stormed toward the master's house.

He kicked the master's door open.

"Monk, come here!" He looked haughtily at the master, who was reciting sutras.

"Hehehe, good morning, Daoist brother~" The master greeted him with a smile, putting down his wooden fish mallet and preparing to get up.

Jia Le furtively pulled up the wall curtain, wanting to see what his master was up to.

"Why have you come so early to pay your respects to me, Daoist brother?" The master had no idea he'd disturbed anyone and continued asking with a smile.

Perhaps waking Four Eyes had been part of his plan.

"Shut your mouth!" Four Eyes wasn't about to be nice to him.

"Name your price. How much for your house? That way you won't disturb me anymore."

Four Eyes patted the wooden chest in his arms and asked with the confidence of a wealthy man.

The master was puzzled. What was Four Eyes up to today?

"Wow~ that's a lot of gold bars!"

Four Eyes was displaying a large chest full of gold bars on the table.

"Hehe, Daoist brother, we're good neighbors. It must be fate."

Seeing that Four Eyes was serious, the master began expounding lofty principles.

"So tell me, how can fate be bought with money?"

The master didn't want to move. The breeze was gentle, the water clear, and it was an excellent place to cultivate. He couldn't bear to leave.

"Hey, I'm asking you, what will it take to make you move?" Seeing the lousy monk refuse, Four Eyes asked, unwilling to give up.

"Amitabha. This humble monk intends to tap the wooden fish and chant the Buddha's name here until I pass into nirvana."

No matter what, the master wasn't going to move.

"Fine. I'll keep my eyes wide open and watch how you die."

Seeing there was nothing he could do, Four Eyes went to pick up the chest and leave.

Suddenly, he spotted a figure of the master on the table, and another devious idea came to mind.

"You won't move, huh? I'll fix you!"

He casually picked up the clay doll from the table.

"Monk, why does this clay doll look so much like you?" Four Eyes asked, pretending not to care.

"Oh~ that. Qingqing made it in my likeness for me last night," the master said boastfully.

"Monk, forget what I said just now. It was nothing but a fart. Give me this doll."

Four Eyes' eyes rolled, and he actually admitted he was wrong.

Seeing this, the master thought Four Eyes couldn't bear to see him move either, and had only been talking.

"Hehe, sure. If you like it, take it."

How could a doll compare to the friendship between them?

"Put your signature on it for me."

Four Eyes coaxed him.

The master took it and pressed his handprint onto the bottom of the clay doll.

"A handprint is much more personal than a signature."

Meanwhile, Jia Le was waiting for Four Eyes at the door.

"Wow~ Master, you're going to prank the master again." Jia Le looked at the clay doll in Four Eyes' hand, unable to take either side.

"Less chatter. Set up the ritual altar."

"Ha~"

Only after the farce between Four Eyes and the master was over did Lin Yu come swaying into the main hall, yawning.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Four Eyes drinking from a huge vat of oil.

"Haha, quite an appetite you've got, Martial Uncle." One look told Lin Yu that Four Eyes had tried to prank the master only to have it turned back on him, and he laughed at him.

"You two aren't allowed to go next door and play anymore~"

Having lost face, Four Eyes naturally didn't want to see that lousy monk again, and he even imposed the restriction on Lin Yu and Jia Le.

"Ah~!"

You're the one who played a trick on the master. He only gave you a tooth for a tooth.

Jia Le grumbled unwillingly to himself. His Qingqing!

Lin Yu didn't mind, but Jia Le was in trouble. He'd finally made a little progress with Qingqing.

Now, thanks to Four Eyes, a master who screwed over his own disciple, that had gone cold again.

"You've got guts, you're impressive~ we're even~ you win~"

After drinking a whole vat of oil, Four Eyes' mental state was a little off.

"Master, be careful. I'll help you inside to rest."

Jia Le had no time to dwell on his reluctance and hurriedly supported his master.

"You've got guts~ you got me pregnant~ you're really something~"

Four Eyes staggered along, humming toward the master's house next door as he walked.

"Sigh." Lin Yu pressed a hand to his forehead, speechless. He really was a character.

He even felt a little sorry for Jia Le. Having a master who never grew up was tiring enough.

"Why are you two back out again?"

Lin Yu looked at the pair, who had run back out less than a second after going in.

"Which way's the toilet~ I need to poop~"

Four Eyes ran ahead with his big belly sticking out, Jia Le chasing after him.

"Master, slow down."

Time soon passed, and the sun was already high in the sky.

"Jia Le, raise your hand a little higher. Lin Yu, go practice on your own over there."

Four Eyes lay in a rocking chair, leisurely watching the two train.

"Don't discourage Jia Le."

Watching Lin Yu learn the fist technique Jia Le had been practicing after seeing it only once, Jia Le was so ashamed his ears turned red.

"What are you looking at? Look at him, then look at yourself. All those muscles on you are wasted."

The more Four Eyes watched, the angrier he got. Jia Le had been learning this fist technique for days and still couldn't get it right, while Lin Yu had picked it up after watching for only a short while.

"You don't study seriously day after day, and now your junior brother has surpassed you. Aren't you ashamed?" As he spoke, Four Eyes reached out and grabbed Jia Le by the ear.

"Ow, Master, I'll work hard..."

Jia Le hurriedly grabbed Four Eyes' hands and begged for mercy, though he also felt a little ashamed.

"Now you're saying ow? Why didn't you make a peep yesterday, huh?"

"Martial Uncle, Senior Brother Jia Le has actually been working very hard. He's much better than my two senior brothers."

Lin Yu hurried forward to intervene, or Four Eyes might get serious in a moment.

Jia Le was still innocent, unlike Lin Yu's two senior brothers, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng. If their master had scolded them like Four Eyes, they would already have been arguing back and making excuses.
