Chapter 119: Plan Before You Act!

Daci Dabe Temple.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci, who is dedicated to promoting the Exorcism Dharma Assembly, has recently given people a strong impression of growing younger as he ages, thanks to his Small Success in health-preserving martial arts.

More and more people in the cultivation circle have taken him as a case study of successful cultivation and highly praise him.

Especially since Grandmaster Yuan Ci does not hold classes or recruit lay disciples to amass wealth after achieving success in his cultivation.

Nor does he seek out the upper class to participate in the activities of celebrities.

In his eyes, there is nothing but promoting the Dharma Assembly, and then promoting the Dharma Assembly again.

This makes many people admire him even more, feeling that this is how a true cultivator with virtue should behave!

Seeking neither fame nor wealth!

Only focusing on the true knowledge in his heart!

Then, because it was discovered that there were many similarities between the temple Dharma Assemblies in Nierbojiade City, where mysterious phenomena frequently occur, and the Dharma Assemblies at Daci Dabe Temple.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci himself, who suddenly inserted exorcism content into his Dharma Assembly, also attracted the attention of some professionals.

As the investigation into Nierbojiade City sank into deep waters, the more they investigated, the more suspicious points there were, and the less they could make sense of it.

The manpower and material resources invested in that place were also obviously extremely cost-ineffective!

Even the local person in charge dared not guarantee how much could actually be implemented.

Naturally, investigators who found themselves having the advantages of favorable terrain and social conditions elsewhere chose new breakthrough points.

A vice president of the Buddhist Association, carrying important instructions, personally appeared at Daci Dabe Temple to visit this Grandmaster Yuan Ci.

He arrived at Grandmaster Yuan Ci's reception room.

At first glance, he was shocked that the other party's complexion was even several shades better than it looked in photos and videos, not at all like an old monk with declining health.

Coupled with the fact that this official vice president was also an old cultivator, his intuition was sharper than others, and looking at Grandmaster Yuan Ci actually gave him the illusion of facing a beast ready to strike.

This was an illusion that even the old immortals he had met when visiting several so-called Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands had failed to give him!

He could not help but feel certain in his heart, vaguely feeling that this person must be a true cultivator he had never seen before!

Thinking back to the mission of this trip, the smile he revealed after looking at Grandmaster Yuan Ci seemed a bit more genuine!

After discussing Buddhist teachings for a while, the vice president steered the conversation toward the Dharma Assembly at the Nierbo temple and the Ghost Gods mentioned by those Dharma masters.

Seeing Grandmaster Yuan Ci wearing an expression of knowing nothing about this.

In desperation, the vice president had no choice but to take out the video provided by the investigators.

A piece of footage recently unearthed from the small town, showing the strange phenomenon in the sky under the dark clouds that the people of the town had looked up at back then!

The front view of that lifelike Greedy Wolf phantom with its mouth wide open!

"Amitabha."

This time, a flash of surprise appeared in the eyes of Grandmaster Yuan Ci as he watched the edited video.

For the first time during the reception, he appeared composed.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci naturally recognized this Greedy Wolf appearance!

In the materials subsequently bestowed by the Venerables, the appearance of this being named Beidou Tanlang Xingjun was mentioned.

Of course, this in the video should not be the personal descent of Greedy Wolf Star Lord, but rather an enlightened cultivator borrowing a trace of the power of Beidou Tanlang Xingjun...

Being able to receive the help of Beidou Tanlang Xingjun, they are clearly a fellow traveler contributing strength to the great cause of exorcism!

This discovery made Grandmaster Yuan Ci feel quite gratified, and a joy of "I am not alone in my path" welled up in his heart.

However, Grandmaster Yuan Ci also knew that the other party should be an enlightened true cultivator who has preserved extraordinary inheritance, unlike himself who is still accumulating merit to rebuild the Dharma lineage.

His best choice is actually to do his own job well, not to disturb the other party, and not to cause trouble for the other party.

Therefore, after his surprise, Grandmaster Yuan Ci immediately returned to normal, expressed admiration for the content of the video, but said no more and asked no more.

This left the vice president feeling as if he had nowhere to exert his strength.

However, the micro-camera in the hat he was wearing had already recorded Grandmaster Yuan Ci's micro-expressions in real-time.

This shocked the investigators in the rear; they realized one after another that Grandmaster Yuan Ci must have recognized something, or even knew the background of that phantom!

The vice president still wanted to continue to pester him to explore deeper things.

In the end, he gained nothing in front of an opponent experienced in this area, and when the night grew late, he was personally sent out the door by Grandmaster Yuan Ci.

And he said a heartfelt word to him:

"Vice President, you know this humble monk."

"This humble monk has sought the Dao and Buddha all his life, but I also know where the great righteousness lies. This humble monk is very greedy and wants to attain great liberation, yet, this humble monk will not do anything to harm everyone because of this."

"This humble monk has studied the true Dharma from beginning to end!"

"This humble monk guesses that other Daoists are the same, all aiming to seek the Great Dao under the premise of protecting the stability of our world's Order."

…………

After returning to the guest room, the vice president let his imagination run wild all night.

Finally, he wrote a report stating that he felt it was unlikely that Grandmaster Yuan Ci's actions would harm society, but rather that he was doing things beneficial to society.

"One by one, they are all so mysterious."

"And the suspicious points are one more abnormal than the next! Could it really be related to these ghost and god things?"

An investigator responsible for monitoring Daci Dabe Temple finished reading the copy of the vice president's letter and muttered to himself, not very confidently.

Another person suddenly let out an "eh."

It was because the life detector, which was currently hovering at a high altitude and deployed on a large Drone, discovered that after Grandmaster Yuan Ci returned to his room, he suddenly... disappeared from the detection equipment!

This message immediately attracted attention!

After quickly obtaining approval through layers of review, a dragonfly-sized Drone arrived at the gap in the window and quietly flew inside.

It confirmed that Grandmaster Yuan Ci was indeed not in the room!

And it was not some meditative state that shielded things like life detection.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci was summoned to the Pot Heaven at this moment, unaware that he had already attracted attention.

The Ghost Messenger continued to receive this Abbot and led him to Fuhua Ruomeng Temple.

There, they encountered the young Daoist Zhou Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation at the entrance.

When young Daoist Zhou Xuan saw Grandmaster Yuan Ci, his eyes widened abruptly.

As a young and promising cultivation practitioner.

Zhou Xuan had seen Grandmaster Yuan Ci before and recognized such a famous and accomplished High Monk.

Of course, this was only a one-sided recognition.

Yet, Zhou Xuan had not expected that Grandmaster Yuan Ci, who his own teacher often said was obsessed with holding Dharma Assemblies and seeking fame,

was actually a fellow traveler who had mastered transcendent power!

And when Grandmaster Yuan Ci saw this young Daoist, he was similarly shocked by the other's youth and promise.

He secretly envied the other for having a complete lineage, allowing him to cultivate the real thing from a young age.

According to the Messenger, this young Daoist was also entrusted by his teachers to use the array within the temple to temper his state of mind.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci could not help but secretly guess that young Daoist Zhou Xuan's background seemed unfathomable; his teachers must be big figures in the world of transcendent cultivation!

Grandmaster Yuan Ci first went to the Main Hall of the temple to recount his experiences and the changes in his state of mind over these past days.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci received an evaluation of "good."

Immediately after, he accepted the Venerable's enlightenment and received a drop of Spiritual Liquid to cleanse his marrow and refine his body.

Afterward, he was formally taught the Golden Light Protection Sutra.

This was a basic Qi Refining technique known to all Outer Sect monks of the Small Golden Light Temple.

It was one of the many techniques seized by Su Ping after he wiped out the Cultivator Alliance, originating from several Outer Sect Disciples who were suspected to have come from the Small Golden Light Temple before fleeing to join the group of Robber Cultivators.

This Fomen technique could be cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining, after which one would choose other Fomen techniques of varying difficulty to advance further based on personal talent.

It is rumored that these Fomen techniques all originated from the legacy of an ancient Fo comparable to a True Immortal.

Although much was added and adapted so that later generations could understand it, the core foundation remained unchanged.

The more thorough one's understanding of Buddhist scriptures and life philosophy, and the higher one's comprehension, the faster one's cultivation speed.

With this kind of technique, even those with an Inferior Spiritual Root have the possibility of reaching Foundation Establishment if their comprehension is good!

However, generally speaking, those whose comprehension reaches such a level usually do not have too poor a Spiritual Root.

Grandmaster Yuan Ci was clearly also a person with at least a Lower Grade Spiritual Root.

Very quickly, under Su Ping's gaze, he managed to guide Qi into his body.

He formally transcended the mundane and became a Cultivator!

Although he had not learned any Qi Refining spells.

With just the enhancement of his five senses combined with increased strength, if Grandmaster Yuan Ci were in ancient times, he could already be called a match for a hundred men.

Su Ping naturally did not just end it there.

Judging from the report when the other arrived, it was clear that someone had linked the Daci Dabe Temple to the Nierbojiade City temple.

As the guardian of his own merit fields, while he did not ask them to bully others, they could not be honest fools who allowed themselves to be bullied!

In addition to helping Grandmaster Yuan Ci guide Qi into his body, Su Ping gave him several Spiritual Talismans and a small Dharma Artifact as tools for protecting his path.

These all required Dharma Power to be driven.

Now that Grandmaster Yuan Ci had formally become a Cultivator, he possessed the qualifications to use them.

Water Blue Star had no Spirit Qi, so once his Dharma Power was exhausted, he could only rely on Spirit Stones or return to the Pot Heaven to replenish it.

Su Ping was not afraid that he could not control them or that someone would take the Dharma Artifacts and cause some major incident.

Several hours later, Grandmaster Yuan Ci walked out of the gate and, under the curious gaze of young Daoist Zhou Xuan, disappeared into the mist with the Ghost Messenger.

Then, young Daoist Zhou Xuan also gathered his spirits, and feeling that he had digested enough, he entered the Main Hall of the temple again to cultivate!

Grandmaster Yuan Ci returned from the Pot Heaven.

His keen five senses immediately perceived a difference.

While he softly chanted "Amitabha."

The Buddha Bead hand beads on his wrist emitted a faint light that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

In an instant, everything within a ten-meter radius was captured in Grandmaster Yuan Ci's mind.

Then, with a thought in his heart.

The Buddha Bead shot out a ray of faint light that struck the dragonfly creation.

Suddenly!

The surveillance screen lost its signal with a crack.

The investigator in the surveillance room who was reporting the appearance of Grandmaster Yuan Ci suddenly lost his voice, and only after several seconds did he say:

"Reporting a new situation!"

"Our detector has a problem; just after the target reappeared in the room, the signal was lost..."

By this time.

Whether it was the investigators or the people above, they had all more or less believed in the fact that mysterious power existed.

And they had a higher evaluation of Grandmaster Yuan Ci.

In a higher-level meeting.

After everyone finished reading Grandmaster Yuan Ci's resume, they also became interested in those accomplished High Monks and virtuous ones from other sects.

They began to suspect whether this group of people had always had a real, rather than a pretentious, mysterious circle playing by themselves!

And one was better at putting on an act than the other!

If it weren't for the fact that this Grandmaster Yuan Ci had clearly shown his hand out of impatience for the Dharma Assembly this time.

Who could have known that this High Monk they had been in contact with for so long... was actually a transcendent who had mastered mysterious powers!

At the same time, regarding some of the urgent plans proposed below because of this, those above chose to reject them almost without hesitation.

After all, this was a mysterious power about which they had limited understanding and which was filled with far too many unknowns!

Added to this was the portion of power that Nierbojiade City had already revealed in its influence over reality.

Under the circumstances where the other party clearly held no malice toward everyone, and was even suspected of maintaining a certain Order.

Without a doubt!

As a major power with a profound foundation!

The best choice should be:

Plan thoroughly before acting!

Must be cautious and even more cautious!
