Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus

After he finished, Jiang Zhe returned to Weaver Girl.

"We're already here, so let's offer some incense." Looking at the compassionate statue before him, standing on a lotus with a treasured lamp in her hand, Jiang Zhe wasn't sure whether Yang Chan was at Mount Hua at this very moment.

Whatever. As the old saying went, they were already here.

"Oh, oh." Only then did Weaver Girl snap out of her daze. She hurriedly took out her treasured little pouch, fished some copper coins from it, and bought two sticks of incense.

She and Jiang Zhe each lit one and bowed in worship.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened. After paying their respects, they walked out of the temple, and Jiang Zhe fell into thought.

That scholar really was an ordinary man, and his wounds really had been inflicted by a wild beast.

He hadn't lied, but!

The problem was that a faint layer of Buddhist light protected the boy's wounds.

In other words, he had been wounded by the tiger while under the protection of that Buddhist light.

Or, to put it another way, it was precisely because he had that protection that he had no fear, even knowing there was a tiger ahead.

Because he knew he wouldn't die under the protection of the Buddhist light.

Jiang Zhe recalled what Old Yellow Ox had said. He had many senior and junior brothers scattered across other parts of the continent, cultivating the so-called Joyful Chan Method.

The higher the status, fortune, and strength of the women they encountered, the more strength they gained.

If a child was born as a result, the fortune they gained would grow even greater.

That was true of Weaver Girl, and it was true of Yang Chan as well.

The Joyful Chan Method played a role much like Yue Lao's in this, but Yue Lao wouldn't get involved personally.

Though the scholar was very weak, his connection to Buddhism had already been confirmed.

Had Yang Chan failed to notice?

On second thought, that really was possible.

She had lived under her brother's protection since childhood. What could she know of the dangers of the world?

She was just like the second fool beside him.

After glancing at Weaver Girl, Jiang Zhe found a property broker. Paying with the silver Gray Monkey had given him, he settled here for a short stay.

"Are we going to stay here the whole time from now on?" Seeing that Jiang Zhe intended to sit in the courtyard, Weaver Girl had a faint sense that something was wrong.

"Yes. I'm going to cultivate here for a while," Jiang Zhe said with a nod.

"Huh? Why did you come here to cultivate?" Weaver Girl asked, looking at him worriedly.

"What? What are you afraid of?" Jiang Zhe asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I snuck down to the mortal realm, after all. I'm not close to my cousin, but I heard my other cousin comes here often. What if he finds me?" Weaver Girl swallowed as she spoke.

That cousin of hers was the Judicial God.

He was the least willing to show anyone leniency.

"If you're scared, go back first." Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes. This little tagalong had followed him all the way here.

In any case, he was definitely staying here for the time being. He wouldn't leave Mount Hua until he could beat that Joyful Boy black and blue!

"How can you be so heartless? I brought you all the way to Mount Hua. Can't you be a little gentler?" Weaver Girl squatted in front of Jiang Zhe, puffed up with indignation like an old toad.

Jiang Zhe grew a little annoyed at her words and pulled out a lollipop, stuffing it into her mouth.

"All right, all right, eat your candy."

"I have other things to do next, so be quiet. Be good." As he spoke, Jiang Zhe also pinched Weaver Girl's cheek.

He had to admit, a fairy's face was so soft that he was getting a little addicted to pinching it.

"Then I'll leave you to it." Weaver Girl looked at Jiang Zhe a little reluctantly.

There were only two hundred years left until the Peach of Immortality Grand Banquet. Two hundred years in the mortal realm was only two hundred days in heaven.

She would surely be busy from now on and wouldn't have time to come down.

Alas, who knows when I'll see this little fool again?

Hmph, all he knows is cultivation, day in and day out. What's so fun about it?

And if he wants to cultivate, why not go to the Heavenly Court?

Weaver Girl licked her lollipop while stealing glances at Jiang Zhe, who had his eyes closed.

Jiang Zhe could naturally sense Weaver Girl's mood. After all, although his eyes were closed, he wasn't exactly cultivating. He was drawing prizes.

He had gained 3,000 merit points from killing the yaksha.

Originally, he had planned to save them up and try an intermediate draw.

But on second thought, he decided against it. There were plenty of good things in the low-level draw anyway.

He might as well make three draws in a row.

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained one jin of Water of the Mother-Child River]

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained a flame: Fallen Heart Flame]

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained a flame fusion technique: Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus]

A jackpot!

The moment he saw the three prizes flashing before him, Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up.

His body trembled with excitement. Compared with his seven draws last time, all three prizes this time were good.

Leaving the Mother-Child River Water aside for now, even though it only made people pregnant, it really was incredible.

Bajie had to be at least a Golden Immortal during the journey to the west, right?

Even a Golden Immortal could get pregnant from a sip. There was more to this thing than its rank as a treasure. Strictly speaking, it was practically at the semi-conceptual level.

What was more, this stuff was water! If he fed it to the Black Rhino Armor...

Raging Waterfall Stab-one stab and you're pregnant!

Who could withstand that?

The only pity was that there wasn't much of it, just one jin. But that wasn't a big problem; he could stock up in the Women's Kingdom later.

As for the next two things, the Fallen Heart Flame went without saying. Heavenly Flames were old friends by now.

But a flame fusion technique-Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus!

Strictly speaking, this move had no upper limit. As long as your control was good enough and you had enough flames to fuse, even fusing all ten great divine flames of chaos into it wouldn't be a problem.

It was hard to imagine just how powerful a Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus formed by fusing flames like Samadhi True Fire, Solar True Fire, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus would be!

Now that was a real jackpot!

Weaver Girl, still licking her lollipop, looked puzzled. How could she faintly sense the emotions of the man before her?

Suddenly, Weaver Girl jerked her head up.

The sky overhead was clearly blazing hot, but!

Among the countless stars hanging beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Weaver Girl Star connected to her was beginning to intertwine with a neighboring star.

"That's... the Weaver Girl Star's other half?"

"No... it's a star that complements the Weaver Girl Star! Like the stars of the moon and the sun?" Weaver Girl came back to her senses and fixed an odd gaze on Jiang Zhe.

Could the master of that star connected to the Weaver Girl Star be the benefactor standing right in front of me?

Aha!

The Weaver Girl Star must have sensed my feelings.

And if it's a star of destiny ordained by heaven, doesn't that mean Jiang Zhe and I are a match made in heaven?

Heavens, do I really have to offer myself to him in marriage?

Does that mean I'll have to bear Jiang Zhe two little babies someday, just like other humans?

For some reason, as these thoughts occurred to Weaver Girl, even the lollipop in her hand no longer seemed so appealing. Or rather, the way she looked at Jiang Zhe was more like the way she looked at the lollipop she was eating.

At that moment, Jiang Zhe was enjoying the delight of having obtained Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus, so he naturally overlooked Weaver Girl's mood.

He had no idea that Weaver Girl was already looking at him like a dish on a plate.

Meanwhile, at Flower-Fruit Mountain, Tiger-Taming Arhat transformed into a golden figure a hundred meters tall and planted one foot at the entrance to the Water Curtain Cave, his imposing gaze locking onto Gray Monkey.

Immediately afterward, a powerful spiritual force swept forcibly across Gray Monkey's soul!

In the sky, a monkey racing over on a white cloud saw this, and his eyes turned red.
