Two Swindlers Walk Side by Side; How Can One Tell Which Is Real and Which Is False?
"Good."
Lu Changzhi nodded.
Xiao Ye's trip was indeed worthwhile.
After a pause, as if remembering something, Xiao Ye added:
"These male monks in Buddhist Order actually like men?"
Judging from his expression, it was clear that what had happened earlier had left a deep impression on him.
Mentioning this matter, Gu Chen's brows furrowed.
It's simply unbearable to recall.
Seeing Lu Changzhi laughed and said:
"It's probably because your senior brother has such a great physique."
Gu Chen's expression immediately changed. "It seems I'll have to disguise myself with some clothing when I go out in the future."
Xiao Ye glanced at Gu Chen, seemingly lost in thought, as if pondering something.
"Actually, it's because your physical body is strong and your yang energy is abundant. We're absorbing your yang energy to prevent you from being affected by Evil Spirit," Lu Changzhi explained.
Gu Chen not only cultivates Spear Intent but also physical body. In addition, he possesses the Battle Heaven Sacred Physique. With these factors combined, it is no exaggeration to describe him as having vigorous yang energy.
After all, he knew the techniques and the uses of absorbing yang energy.
Of course, this is just speculation.
After all, spiritual practice isn't necessarily for personal gain; perhaps people genuinely have that interest.
However, given Gu Chen's reaction, it's best not to leave him with any psychological trauma.
After chatting for a while, Lu Changzhi got up and went to find Cang Wenyu.
After briefly outlining the main points, Cang Wenyu looked thoughtful.
"The Buddhist Order have fewer people assigned to them, and we haven't paid special attention to the things you mentioned."
After speaking, Cang Wenyu explained to Lu Changzhi.
The sects actually knew about the methods used by Buddhist Order, and that these methods were far more complex than simply creating evil spirits and then intervening to resolve them in order to strengthen faith.
Compared to the ordinary people in the Western Region, the living conditions of the ordinary people in Aid the Azure Gate were actually quite good.
Buddhist Order has always proclaimed a certain concept to the ordinary people within its territory.
Suffering is something everyone must experience; it is also a form of spiritual practice.
Under the influence of this concept, ordinary people in the Western Region regarded the suffering they experienced at birth as commonplace, and even took pride in and enjoyed it.
While ordinary people in the Buddhist Order realm endure hardship and struggle, the Buddhist Order itself is overflowing with wealth.
However, for most ordinary people, Buddhist Order are places they have little access to.
There may be an opportunity, but once you enter the Buddhist Order, you must sever all ties with the mortal world.
Lu Changzhi listened Jingjing, and for some reason, he had a vague feeling of familiarity.
Of course, according to Cang Wenyu.
The sect did take some action in response.
Since we're going to sever all ties with the mortal world anyway, the sooner we discover it, the sooner we can act.
The dispatched elders will help take some talented juniors away for training.
The method is very simple: put on a kasaya, shave your head, and say "Amitabha" to become a Buddha.
Buddhist Order deceive ordinary people, and even their dispatched elders deceive others.
With swindlers scurrying about on both sides, how can one distinguish the truth from the falsehood?
As for the matter of Devil Qi that Lu Changzhi mentioned, the main reason why it hasn't received much attention is due to the limited understanding of Devil Qi.
Gu Chen, for example, probably wouldn't have paid much attention to this situation if he hadn't still had some recollection of Devil Qi.
"Alright, I'll have the sect investigate this matter thoroughly. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
After learning about the relevant matters from Lu Changzhi, Cang Wenyu agreed.
"Oh, right."
Before leaving, Cang Wenyu thought of something and said to Lu Changzhi:
"Those meditation cushions you gave me last time were incredibly helpful for cultivation."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:
How so?
Cang Wenyu gestured and said:
"Once you sit on that futon, you can easily enter the optimal state for cultivation. And if you combine it with the Origin Spirit Liquid you gave me, the cultivation effect will be maximized. It's as if the spiritual power is being poured directly into your dantian from below."
Lu Changzhi listened while watching Cang Wenyu's gestures.
It's quite a vivid description, though.
"During this period, the key disciples who used the meditation cushions for cultivation have seen their cultivation levels improve like wild horses. In less than ten days, they have achieved what they would normally do in three to five months of arduous training."
Lu Changzhi was not too surprised by this.
After all, it was obtained from the apprenticeship gift pack and was a product of the system.
The quantity is not exaggerated, so how could the quality be bad?
Even the idea of three to five months of arduous training surprised him somewhat. Perhaps these key disciples were working too hard in their daily training.
After all, this is a highly refined Origin Spirit Liquid, and it's only been used for the first time, so there's huge room for improvement.
In fact, if one isn't striving for perfection, one could simply pour it in directly.
Without giving it much thought, the most important thing was for the sect disciples to improve their cultivation level as quickly as possible.
"The reality is different now. We need to compare ourselves to at least the average level of the four major domains."
Lu Changzhi spoke up.
With the connections between the four domains strengthened, it's no longer possible to simply focus on the Eastern Region as before.
Cang Wenyu nodded. "That's true. That's why the sect is also preparing to send some disciples to participate in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's Struggle of the Heaven's Chosen."
After a pause, Cang Wenyu seemed to think of something, glanced at Lu Changzhi, and smiled:
"Since you're going anyway, you might as well take this opportunity to get to know the sect's prodigies."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi fell silent for a moment.
In these aspects, sects always have their own unique characteristics in doing things.
This actually piqued his curiosity.
What level of individuals are those who are sent out by the sect to be raised?
It shouldn't be too bad.
After all, Ancestor Jiang had already studied and become Saint King.
"Oh, right."
Lu Changzhi suddenly thought of something and looked at Cang Wenyu:
"Another secret realm. This time, isn't the sect planning to bring some people in?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu shook his head.
"The situation this time is different from what happened at the Heavenly Azure Ruins."
"Not quite the same?" Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
"Yes." Cang Wenyu nodded and said:
"The space where the Heavenly Azure Saint's ruins are located utilizes a normal spatial mechanism; restrictions are only imposed on those entering."
"But this secret realm is different. It may have been set up by a certain force to train its disciples. Anyone over the age of thirty who appears in it will attract the suppression of heaven and earth. The stronger the person, the stronger the suppression will be."
Are there any restrictions?
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment:
"In that case, it is indeed a tricky matter."
No wonder the sect leader didn't come to borrow his Heaven and Earth Pagoda.
"However, the safety of the sect's disciples is of paramount importance, especially given the scale of this incident."
Cang Wenyu took a deep breath and said:
"The sect is already considering other methods, and some other possibilities have emerged."
As he spoke, Cang Wenyu condensed spiritual energy in his hand, transforming it into the shape of a token.
"This item is called the Privilege Token. After the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty found the first one, our people recently found the second one."
"With this token, you will not be subject to any restrictions when traveling within the secret realm."
Lu Changzhi glanced at the Privilege Token, his expression shifting slightly:
"There's actually such a thing?"
Cang Wenyu nodded:
"This was likely intentionally left behind by those who created this training ground for future generations, to allow powerful individuals with sufficient strength to enter and prevent uncontrollable events from occurring."
After a pause, Cang Wenyu continued:
"Currently, the Privilege Token has been delivered to the ancestors, who are attempting to reverse engineer and replicate it."
"If it succeeds, we can mass-produce and distribute them."
Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile at this.
Saying something you should but not say it is a good approach.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi thought of something and asked:
"What does the sect plan to do if the imitation fails?"
