Chapter 362: Making Buddha Jump Over the Wall Again
Let Fomen move to kill the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples, then throw the pot onto Huling's head.
Afterward, if Dao Yi Sect takes action, Fomen can still take this opportunity to expand; one could say that the Wise Tiger Demon King's proposal is completely beneficial and harmless to Fomen.
So, after hearing the Wise Tiger Demon King's words, seven strong cultivators from Fomen in Xizhou exchanged glances, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
This secret meeting allowed Huling and Fomen to secretly form an alliance.
Of course, this is just their own opinion; at least Putuo Temple hasn't agreed.
But for those seven Fomen strong cultivators from Xizhou, Putuo Temple's opinion is not important.
Put simply, Putuo Temple is more like a branch of Xizhou Fomen in Dongzhou.
From its initial establishment to later development, including cultivation methods and so on, all came from Xizhou Fomen.
So, since Xizhou Fomen has made a decision, Putuo Temple cannot refuse.
The Wise Tiger Demon King secretly left, while the Xizhou Fomen strong cultivators continued rushing toward Putuo Temple.
Just as the Xizhou Fomen were rushing to Putuo Temple, within the Buddhist State, the Dao Yi Sect's garrison.
Although it was already late at night, in Ye Zhangqing's residence, suddenly there were waves of spiritual power spreading.
This change quickly attracted the attention of Hong Zun, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others.
Everyone hurried to the courtyard, looking with surprise at Ye Zhangqing's room.
"Is this a breakthrough?"
"Junior Brother Zhangqing's cultivation speed is fast to the point of being absurd, right?"
"Isn't a breakthrough a good thing?"
Ye Zhangqing is now at the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation level, yet even at this realm he can maintain such cultivation speed, which Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others find unbelievable.
Think about it—Ye Zhangqing broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm not even a month ago, and now he's breaking through again?
The most absurd part is that you don't see Ye Zhangqing painstakingly cultivating on a regular basis.
You say cultivating with Bai Hua Xianzi and the others—does that even count as cultivation? It's hardly worth watching.
The breakthrough lasted about fifteen minutes or so, and as the spiritual power fluctuations gradually dissipated, Ye Zhangqing in the room opened his eyes.
Host: Ye Zhangqing.
Identity: Menial Disciple of the Dao Yi Sect.
Cultivation: Purple Mansion Realm Great Completion (0/300000).
The cultivation level broke through again; not bad.
But what surprised Ye Zhangqing even more was that, with this cultivation breakthrough, the system seemed to have undergone some changes as well.
【Dish effect enhanced: any dish prepared by the host will have its effects greatly strengthened.】
Hmm???
Looking at the system description, Ye Zhangqing wondered just how big this effect increase could be.
By the time breakfast came the next day, Ye Zhangqing was still making simple braised noodles.
But this time, even Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie were stunned.
After taking a bite, one could clearly feel the physical body growing stronger.
"Junior Brother Zhangqing, today's noodles..............."
"What's wrong?"
"It's absolutely absurd; even I can feel the effect."
You should know that, although Ye Zhangqing's dishes used to taste perfect, they actually had little effect on Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, who are already at the Dharma Appearance Realm.
But today this bowl of simple braised noodles has an effect that is surprisingly strong.
This holds true for Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie as well, let alone the disciples below.
Chen Mu and the other Inner Door Disciples, as well as the Outer Sect and Menial Disciples, are all delighted beyond words.
"They're almost catching up to elixirs."
"Can elixirs even compare to this?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just eat."
The flavor remains impeccable, but the effect is now far too strong, making many disciples unable to resist Ye Zhangqing's food.
Moreover, even more absurd than that, the aroma itself seems to have a certain efficacy.
At this moment, outside the kitchen, the best spots were taken by crowds of Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples frantically inhaling the aroma.
"It smells wonderful, and I feel that this aroma can strengthen my physical body."
Even just sniffing the aroma works, which caused disciples who didn't get a spot to go completely crazy as well.
Seeing the excited looks of his fellow senior brothers, Ye Zhangqing also ate a bowl, and indeed the effect was greatly increased.
"If we often eat such food, it would surely be of great help to cultivation, right?"
He secretly thought to himself, and immediately Ye Zhangqing felt inclined to make Buddha Jump Over the Wall again to see how the effect differs from before.
Upon hearing this, Hong Zun and the others were naturally excited; as for the ingredients, that was no problem at all.
The beast pets raised in the backyard, Ye Zhangqing casually picked and chose.
When starting the second preparation of Buddha Jump Over the Wall, the other ingredients were fine; the only thing missing was abalone and sea cucumber.
"Young man Zhangqing, rest assured, I will definitely get them for you."
Hong Zun, without hesitation, took Qing Shi, Zhang Tianzhen, Shi Song, and Bai Hua Xianzi and rushed to the Jinhai Yingdi.
A few days' time was enough.
Because the ingredients' effects were enhanced, the disciples valued Ye Zhangqing's food even more, making the competition even fiercer.
Moreover, Juexin and others from Putuo Temple would love to spend twelve Shíchén a day loitering in the kitchen, just to smell the Buddha Jump Over the Wall's aroma.
"Benefactor Zhangqing, rest assured, we'll watch the fire for you; there's absolutely no problem."
Even late at night, this bunch of old bald donkeys had no intention of leaving, still saying they were helping watch the fire.
Ye Zhangqing could only nod helplessly and go along with their antics.
At present, Putuo Temple's relations with the Dao Yi Sect are extremely friendly; from Juexin and the others down to the ordinary disciples, everyone is utterly enthusiastic.
The two sects seemed like a brotherly alliance.
However, that day, with the arrival of the Xizhou Fomen experts, Juexin and the others had no choice but to leave the kitchen.
Inside the main hall, Juexin and the others sat opposite seven Xizhou Fomen experts; all were of Shèngjìng cultivation, but the seven Xizhou Fomen experts seemed to be of a higher rank.
Their tone when speaking to Juexin and the others was also like issuing commands.
"Have all the preparations for this Myriad Buddha Grand Assembly been completed?"
If it had been before, Juexin and the others would surely not have thought twice, after all this was originally the Xizhou Fomen's attitude toward them.
In the eyes of the Xizhou Fomen, Putuo Temple has always been merely a puppet they helped raise, a tool for spreading their teachings in Dongzhou.
But now, Juexin secretly felt some displeasure about this; they were people who had reforged their Buddhist hearts, and were no longer what they once were.
Toward the Xizhou Fomen, Juexin and the others' respect had long since diminished greatly.
So upon hearing this, Juexin merely gave a bland reply.
"All preparations are complete."
"Mm, that's good."
"By the way, there is something that requires all the Arhats to take action."
"What is it?"
"My junior fellow disciple Jueyuan accidentally ingested the Xizhou Love-forgetting Pill, and I hope the Arhats can help resolve it."
Juexin felt embarrassed to admit he had fed it to him, so he could only say it was accidental ingestion; upon this, the seven Xizhou Fomen experts were taken aback and spoke with a strange look.
"What pill are you talking about?"
"Love-forgetting Pill."
"How could something like this be accidentally ingested?"
"This sounds totally off—how could a Shèngjìng expert accidentally ingest a pill? And what in the world is a Love-forgetting Pill?"
