Duobao: Fellow Daoist, I Want to Read a Novel

"Hm?"

"Why was he a Heavenly Immortal?"

"Wasn't he a Quasi-Saint expert?"

Duobao's gaze passed through the courtyard fence and fell on Lin Tian, who was coming toward him.

When he sensed the fluctuations of Heavenly Immortal realm power rippling around Lin Tian's body,

Duobao was taken aback.

"If he's only at the Heavenly Immortal realm, how could he possibly release such pure Buddhist intent?"

"Could it be that I've come to the wrong place?"

"Or was that Buddhist intent just now not released by this young man?"

At that thought,

Duobao instinctively turned his gaze to what Lin Tian was holding.

From the three books,

Duobao suddenly sensed an inexplicable presence.

Unlike the presence around Lin Tian,

the fluctuations around the three books faintly rippled with the power of laws!

Sensing this,

Duobao instinctively took a step forward.

His body was almost pressed against the edge of the fence.

Just then,

Lin Tian happened to be walking toward him.

As the distance between Duobao and Lin Tian steadily narrowed,

Duobao immediately detected a subtle trace of Buddhist intent and the power of Dao principles

being released from the three books.

The Buddhist intent was not strong; it could even be described as faint.

It was as though some other presence had cut it off.

If the distance between them had not continued to close, Duobao would not even have noticed it.

Even so,

that trace of presence instantly drew Duobao's primordial spirit,

making it sway!

"Just as I thought!"

"That pure Buddhist intent just now came from these books!"

Realizing this,

Duobao was delighted, but he could not help finding it a little strange.

"This fellow Daoist seems to have only the strength of a Heavenly Immortal."

"How, then, could he possess such a Dharma treasure bearing pure Buddhist intent?"

"Moreover, its presence can be contained, making it difficult to detect. If I could borrow it for a look, that would be wonderful."

"But such a rare Dharma treasure probably wouldn't be easy to borrow, would it?"

Just as Duobao was thinking this,

Lin Tian set the three books on the stone table in the nearby pavilion, then walked up to Duobao and slowly spoke.

"Oh?"

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

Hearing this,

Duobao was taken aback.

It seemed this fellow Daoist had not recognized him?

Realizing this,

Duobao instinctively wanted to reveal his identity,

but hesitated.

I came here because of the wondrous principles of Buddhism.

I cannot let any living being know that I came in pursuit of Buddhist principles.

If word gets out, it would be extremely unfavorable to me.

Especially since this is the outskirts of the Interception Sect, I must be even more careful.

Since this hermit before me knows nothing of my background, he has presumably lived in seclusion for many years, paying no heed to worldly affairs.

I might as well go with the flow and pretend to be an ordinary wandering immortal...

With that thought,

Duobao composed himself,

cupped his hands toward Lin Tian, and said,

"Fellow Daoist, I am a wandering immortal named Dabao."

"Please forgive me for disturbing you, fellow Daoist."

Hearing the name Dabao,

Lin Tian was stunned for a long moment before explaining,

"I am Lin Tian. I wonder, fellow Daoist, what has brought you here?"

"What business do you have?"

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Duobao hurriedly replied,

"Fellow Daoist, when I passed by just now, I happened to sense that a fortuitous opportunity awaited me here at your Dao field."

"So I came to look for it, to see if I might find some great fortune?"

A fortuitous opportunity?

What fortuitous opportunity could there be here?

Hearing the other man's words,

Lin Tian could not help laughing. He waved his hand and said,

"You must be joking, fellow Daoist. My Dao field is utterly ordinary."

"It's the place with the thinnest spiritual Qi around the Interception Sect's Dao field."

"What fortuitous opportunity could there be here?"

"If you're looking for fortuitous opportunities and good fortune, fellow Daoist, you'd be better off visiting the Interception Sect."

"The Interception Sect teaches all without distinction. Perhaps you'll find the good fortune you're looking for there."

Hearing Lin Tian's words,

Duobao smiled helplessly.

"To tell the truth, fellow Daoist, I'm used to an unfettered life."

"I'm more comfortable cultivating on my own."

"Besides, the fortuitous opportunity I spoke of is right here."

As Duobao explained,

his gaze fell on the three books on the stone table in the pavilion ahead.

At last, he seized the chance to state the purpose of his visit.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if I might take a look at that book..."
