Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 157 - 119 Plan First Then Act

Chapter 157: Chapter 119: Plan First, Then Act! Chapter 157 -119: Plan First, Then Act! Great Compassion Temple.

Master Yuanci, dedicated to promoting exorcism at the Magic Meeting, gave off a strong impression of growing younger with age due to his small accomplishments in Health Care Martial Arts.

More and more people in the cultivation circles regarded him as a successful example of cultivation to be highly praised.

Especially since Master Yuanci, after his successful cultivation, did not teach classes or recruit secular disciples for money.

He also did not seek the company of high society to partake in the activities of celebrities.

His eyes were only set on promoting the Magic Meeting and nothing else.

Many admired this, believing it to be the proper conduct of a True Cultivator with virtue!

Seeking neither fame nor wealth!

Focused solely on the true knowledge within the heart!

Then, because commonalities were discovered between the temple Magic Meeting in Gad City of Nepal, which experienced frequent mysterious anomalies, and the Magic Meeting at the Great Compassion Temple,

Master Yuanci himself, who had suddenly added exorcism content to the Magic Meeting, also attracted the focus of some professionals.

As the investigation into Gad City of Nepal hit a snag, the deeper they probed, the more doubts emerged, and the less headway they made.

The investment of manpower and resources there was evidently inefficient!

Even the local person-in-charge couldn’t guarantee much tangible results.

Naturally, investigators who found they had geographical and social advantages elsewhere chose a new breakthrough point.

A vice president from the Buddhist Association, carrying important directives, personally visited the Great Compassion Temple to meet with Master Yuanci.

Upon entering Master Yuanci’s reception room,

his first glimpse of the master left him shocked, as Master Yuanci’s complexion was even better than in photos and videos, not at all like an old monk in decline.

Plus, being an old cultivator himself, the vice president had sharper instincts than others. Staring at Master Yuanci, he felt as though he was facing a fierce beast ready to pounce.

This was a feeling he hadn’t even gotten from visiting several so-called Grotto Heavens and meeting with the ancient immortals there!

He couldn’t help feeling certain that Master Yuanci was indeed a True Cultivator he had never seen before!

Considering his task, his smile when looking at Master Yuanci became a few degrees more genuine.

After discussing Buddhist doctrines for a while, the vice president steered the conversation toward the Magic Meetings in Nepali temples and the Ghostly Gods spoken of by the mages.

Seeing Master Yuanci’s ignorant expression in response to his questions,

the vice president reluctantly showed him videos provided by the investigators.

A clip that was recently unearthed from a small town, showing the townsfolks’ uplifted gazes at the sky anomaly beneath the dark clouds!

The vivid image of the Greedy Wolf Illusion with its mouth wide open!

“Amitabha.”

This time, a hint of surprise flashed in Master Yuanci’s eyes upon viewing the edited video.

It was the first time he had shown a lapse in composure during a meeting.

Naturally, Master Yuanci recognized the likeness of the Greedy Wolf!

In the materials subsequently bestowed by the Honorable ones, there were mentions of this being known as the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Star Monarch.

Of course, the video did not feature the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch descending in person, but a cultivator who had borrowed a trace of the power of the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch…

Being helped by the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Star Monarch, one must also be a fellow Taoist contributing to the grand cause of exorcism!

This revelation made Master Yuanci feel quite gratified, a joy of not being alone in his path welled up in his heart.

However, Master Yuanci knew that the other was likely a True Cultivator who retained a Transcendent Inheritance, not the same as himself who was still accumulating Merit to rebuild his Dharma Vein.

The best option for himself was to focus on his own affairs, not to disturb the other or cause them trouble.

Therefore, after the moment of surprise, Master Yuanci quickly regained his composure, expressed admiration for the content of the video, but did not ask or say more.

This left the vice president with a sense of having nowhere to apply his efforts.

But the miniature camera hidden in his hat had already recorded Master Yuanci’s micro expressions in real-time,

Causing a stir among the investigative team in the background as they realized Master Yuanci must recognize something, perhaps even the detail behind the illusion!

The vice president wanted to keep pressing for more profound discussions,

but eventually came away empty-handed against such an experienced opponent and was personally escorted out by Master Yuanci as night fell.

Master Yuanci then spoke a heartfelt truth to him:

“Vice President, you know of this monk’s ways.”

“This monk has sought enlightenment and questioned Buddhism all his life, yet he knows where the true righteousness lies. This monk is quite greedy, wishing for great transcendency, yet he would not partake in any action that would harm us all.”

“From the beginning to the end, this monk has only learned the upright Dharma!”

“This monk surmises other Taoist friends are the same, aiming to protect the world order while seeking the grand Dao.”

…

Back in his own quarters, the vice president pondered all night long.

In the end, he wrote a report stating his belief that Master Yuanci was unlikely to pose a social threat but was instead engaged in actions beneficial to society.

“Everyone is so mysteriously secretive.”

“But the more we investigate, the more abnormal the clues. Could it really be related to these mystical and ghostly matters?”

An investigator responsible for surveillance at the Great Compassion Temple read the copy of the vice president’s letter and muttered with little confidence,

Another suddenly exclaimed,

they had just discovered through a life-detection device mounted on a large drone hovering in the sky, that Master Yuanci had suddenly… disappeared from the detector’s range after returning to his room!

This information immediately drew attention!

After rapidly obtaining layer upon layer of approvals, a drone the size of a dragonfly came to a crack opened in the window and quietly flew in,

confirming that Master Yuanci truly was not in the room!

And not simply in a state of meditation that shielded him from life detection or other mystical phenomena.

At that moment, Master Yuanci had been summoned to the Pot Cave Heaven and was unaware that he was being observed.

The Ghost Envoy continued to receive this host and led him to the Floating Illusion Temple,

where they encountered Little Taoist Zhouxuan, who was sitting in meditation at the entrance.

Upon seeing Master Yuanci, Little Taoist Zhouxuan’s eyes suddenly widened.

As a young and promising cultivator.

Zhou Xuan had met Master Yuan Ci and knew of the renowned monk who had attained the Dao.

Of course, this recognition was only one-sided.

Zhou Xuan had not expected that Master Yuan Ci, whom his master mentioned as being fond of holding Dharma Meetings and seeking fame,

would also be a peer who possessed transcendent powers!

When Master Yuan Ci saw the young Taoist, he too was shocked by the youth’s talent.

He secretly envied the young man’s complete lineage, allowing him to practice real teachings from a young age, not to mention,

according to the envoy, this little Taoist was entrusted by his teacher to use the temple’s formation to train his heart realm.

Master Yuan Ci couldn’t help but speculate that Little Taoist Zhouxuan’s background seemed unfathomably deep, implying that his teacher must be a significant figure within the transcendent cultivation world!

Master Yuan Ci first visited the temple’s main hall, recounting his experiences over the past days and the changes in his heart realm.

Master Yuan Ci received a favorable evaluation.

He then received enlightenment from the Honorable one and was given a drop of Spiritual Liquid to cleanse his marrow and sculpt his body.

Thereafter, he formally inherited the Buddhist Golden Light Body Protection Scripture.

This was a basic Qi Cultivation Technique that even the outer monks of Little Golden Light Temple knew.

It was one of the many techniques confiscated after Su Ping eradicated the Cultivator Alliance, originating from several former outer disciples of Little Golden Light Temple who had fled to join a group of Tribulation Cultivators.

This Buddhist cultivation technique could reach up to the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, after which one would choose other Buddhist techniques to progress further based on one’s innate talent and the difficulty of the techniques.

It is said that these Buddhist techniques originated from an Ancient Buddha who was on par with a True Immortal.

Although modified and added to for later generations to understand, the essence and core remained unchanged.

The deeper one’s understanding of Buddhist knowledge and the philosophy of life, the higher the enlightenment, the faster the cultivation speed.

Under this technique, even those with inferior Spirit Roots could potentially establish their foundation given sufficient enlightenment!

However, it is generally said that those with such great enlightenment usually do not have too poor Spirit Roots.

Master Yuan Ci obviously also possessed at least Low Grade Spirit Roots.

He quickly achieved Qi Body Entry under Su Ping’s watchful eye.

He officially became extraordinary and transcended the mundane, turning into a cultivator!

Even though he hadn’t learned any Qi cultivation spells,

merely the enhancement of his Five Senses combined with increased strength meant that Master Yuan Ci would have been considered an adversary for a hundred if it were ancient times.

Su Ping naturally did not just end things there.

From what was reported upon his arrival, it was evident that someone had linked the Great Compassion Temple with the temple in Gad City of Nepal.

As the guardian of his own Merit Field, he didn’t expect them to bully others, but they also could not afford to be the ones getting bullied as honest people!

In addition to helping Master Yuan Ci with Qi Body Entry, Su Ping gave him several Spirit Talismans and a small Magic Artifact as protective devices for his Dao.

These required mana to operate,

Now that Master Yuan Ci had officially become a cultivator, he also had the qualifications to use them,

There was no Spiritual Energy on Water Blue Star, and once mana was depleted, it could only be replenished by Spirit Stones or returning to Pot Cave Heaven.

Su Ping was not worried about controlling them or someone causing any significant incidents with the artifacts.

Several two-hour periods later, Master Yuan Ci left through the gates, disappearing into the fog along with the Ghost Envoy under the curious gaze of Little Taoist Zhouxuan.

Afterward, Little Taoist Zhouxuan also perked up, feeling that he had digested enough, and once again entered the temple’s main hall to continue his cultivation!

Master Yuan Ci returned from Pot Cave Heaven.

His keen senses immediately detected a difference.

As he softly chanted Amitabha,

his wrist Buddha Beads emitted a faint glow hardly noticeable to the naked eye.

In an instant, every object within ten meters was clearly captured in Master Yuan Ci’s mind.

Then, with a thought,

the Buddha Beads shot a faint glow onto the dragonfly-like device,

Instantly!

The surveillance feed clicked off, and the signal was lost.

In the control room, the investigator reporting the re-emergence of Master Yuan Ci fell silent for several seconds before saying:

“New development to report!”

“Our detector has malfunctioned, the signal was lost right after the target reappeared in the room…”

At this moment,

whether it was the investigators or their superiors, they all started to somewhat believe in the existence of mystical forces.

They held Master Yuan Ci in even higher regard.

In the higher-level meetings,

after reviewing Master Yuan Ci’s records, they also took interest in other monks and esteemed figures from different sects.

They began to suspect that this group might always have had a real, not simply deceitful, mysterious circle of their own!

And each one was better at concealing it than the last!

If it weren’t for Master Yuan Ci’s impatience for the Dharma Meeting, exposing a slip,

who would have known that this high monk they had been interacting with for so long… truly was one with mysterious transcendent powers!

Also, regarding some of the urgent plans proposed subsequently, those above had little hesitation in unanimously rejecting them.

After all, these were mysterious forces they barely understood, filled with far too many unknowns!

Plus, given that Gad City of Nepal had already shown part of its ability to influence reality,

and it was clear that they held no malice towards everyone, even appearing to maintain some kind of order,

Without a doubt!

As a deep-rooted major power,

The best choice was:

Plan meticulously and then act!

Exercise utmost caution!
