Chapter 31: 【Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable, Breakthrough!】

"The heart-monkey returns to righteousness, the six thieves leave no trace."

Ba Lun was thoughtful. As a holder of an Eight Extraordinary Technique, unlike ordinary foreigners, he was from a prestigious school, could use seven languages, and majored in classical and modern languages, as well as Eastern studies.

Naturally, he had read the Eastern classic "Journey to the West", knowing that Sun Wukong was the heart-monkey. After being freed from Mount Wuzhi, he killed six thieves. The six thieves were named Eye-Seeing-Joy, Ear-Hearing-Anger, Nose-Smelling-Love, Tongue-Tasting-Thought, Opinion-Desire, and Body-Root-Worry, which corresponded to the six roots of the human body: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

"The World-Honored One once said: The suffering of all living beings is mostly due to not keeping the precepts and indulging in desires."

"If the six roots are not clean, it is difficult to become a Buddha."

Ba Lun tentatively asked: "Do you want me to convert to Buddhism and keep the eight precepts?"

"Keeping precepts is for cultivating the heart; cultivating the heart does not require keeping precepts. I don't know if you can be liberated by converting to Buddhism, but staying in the All-Nature and indulging in desires will certainly not lead to liberation." Lin Xian looked back at Xia He, meaningfully: "If you are lewd, all sentient beings are evil; if you indulge in desires, all actions are devoid of interest."

Xia He trembled, seemingly poked in her heart, and turned her head away.

"If you are greedy for wine, worries and fears rise and fall impermanently; if you indulge in pleasure, youth is but a fleeting moment."

Ba Lun fell into deep thought. Over the years, he had been pursuing delicacies and fine wines to fill his desires and gain satisfaction.

When desires are satisfied, he is empty; when desires are not satisfied, he is in pain.

He had been between these two emotions, changing in an instant, reversing back and forth, realizing the suffering of impermanence.

"If you are greedy for sleep, you will struggle without liberation." Lin Xian said, looking back and continuing to Ba Lun: "But I know a practitioner who has not slept for decades. His state of mind is similar to yours. Perhaps, it can solve your worries."

"Where is that practitioner?" Ba Lun asked, a trace of longing appearing in his eyes.

Lin Xian smiled slightly, patted Ba Lun on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Child, all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price."

"You will get what you want." Ba Lun lowered his head humbly, knelt on one knee, and was incredibly pious: "Please grant me the gift."

"Follow me until the Luo Tian Dajiao begins."

Lin Xian nodded, took Ba Lun onto the golden bridge, and returned to the World Group, leaving Xia He stunned on the spot, feeling lost.

【Ding-dong, host Lin Xian has issued a side quest: Crack the ultimate mystery of the Six-Storehouse Thief. Please have the 10086 system complete it as soon as possible.】

It was the familiar scene, the familiar formula.

System 10086 worked hard, trying to pull the progress bar. It had thought about giving up, but the sunk cost was too great.

Persisting might lead to a glimmer of hope; not persisting would lead to nothing.

Finally, the mystery of the Six-Storehouse Thief was cracked. Lin Xian grabbed it and refined it instantly, chanting in his mouth: "The Six-Storehouse Thief is really awesome, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, reversing life and death, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

System 10086: "... Host, what the hell is the last sentence?"

"Cough, I'm not good at poetry, let's do it again."

Lin Xian stood in the alchemy room, looking at the furnace in front of him, suddenly remembering that after Xu Xiang died, another baby was born in the hospital. The mortal world is nothing more than this. A sense of life and death surged into his heart. The strong narrative forced him to take out his phone, so he said in a deep voice: "Medicine, come!"

A thousand words, after all, cannot compare to taking medicine to cultivate immortality, with boundless magic power.

The World Association staff who had been waiting under the mountain for a long time filed in, and boxes of precious medicine were continuously transported to the alchemy room on the mountain. The financial power of the World Group was displayed vividly at this moment.

In modern society, there are extraordinary beings who advocate seeking immortality and cultivating hard, and there are also extraordinary beings who pursue pleasure.

There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. There are always some unworthy descendants who couldn't hold on and exchanged the life-extending ginseng, breakthrough ganoderma, and century-old fleeceflower root left by their ancestors for gold and silver treasures.

All of this now benefited Lin Xian.

The raging alchemy fire burned, Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, looking at a pool of medicinal liquid, thinking about how to utilize this precious medicine to the extreme.

Such an opportunity would never happen a second time.

The medicinal materials in front of him were already the precious medicines on the surface of the extraordinary world. Even if the World Group wanted to buy them again, they would be priceless.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian used divine patterns to turn into a spiritual knife, actually cutting his own arm, letting the hot, blood-red blood, vaguely carrying a bit of gold, flow into the medicine furnace. Like magma dripping into water, it stirred up earth-shattering changes, and rolling blue smoke floated up, as if to gather into a cloud!

The alchemist who was refining medicine saw this, not scolding Lin Xian for adding things randomly, but shouting out: "Clouds rise to the blue sky, the pill is formed and the dragon and tiger appear~!"

"Host... you, what are you doing?"

Not only was the alchemist stunned, but at this moment, System 10086 was also stunned. It was the first time it had seen a host who self-harmed to refine medicine. This was extremely explosive even in the host world.

"I have eaten holy fruit and soaked in divine springs. My blood naturally contains this kind of divine power, which is most suitable for leading the refining of medicine."

Lin Xian's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were incredibly firm, and he said sonorously: "Refining medicine, refining people, and even refining heaven! If you don't even dare to refine yourself, what kind of refining Dao is that."

"Just a little blood, it can be replenished later."

"One step ahead, every step ahead; one step slow, every step slow."

"If I cannot break through to a higher realm at an extremely fast speed, what is there to talk about the future."

"Sprint to the Great Sage realm with all your strength, comprehend the Five Great Secret Realms, and observe the six-layered Immortal Platform from the beginning. That is my path."

"Six-Storehouse Thief, help me break through!"

Lin Xian sat cross-legged on the ground. The six organs of the large intestine, small intestine, stomach, triple burner, gallbladder, and bladder were all fired up, forming the six entrails, reflecting the five internal organs, creating a perfect digestive system, completely decomposing the ingested medicinal liquid, and transforming enough acquired essence to help Lin Xian break through.

At the same time, another function of the Six-Storehouse Thief was activated, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth with all its strength and transforming it into primordial essence to consolidate the origin.

"Silent to the no-sect. Empty stands the robbery. The vast cave mysterious text. Who can measure this seclusion..."

He recited the true scripture silently, operated the cultivation method, and the misty Qi rose, surrounding him, bit by bit completing the body and blessing the human body.

The Covering the Sky method uses the body as a seed. The Desolate Heavenly Emperor created the method in the past, referring to the Indestructible Scripture, and was proficient in fighting, which led to the practitioners of the entire system, although they also cultivated the primordial spirit, ultimately focusing on the body. The attainments of the primordial spirit were often a grade weaker than the attainments of the body.

Under the knife of heaven's will, without the replenishment of longevity substances, the emperor's primordial spirit would perish in tens of thousands of years, but the emperor's corpse could exist for millions of years.

The power of the body is not exclusive to the ancient emperors. The bottom-level practitioners are also like this.

The Desolate Ancient Holy Body has ten thousand catties of divine power when the Bitter Sea is first opened, and the mortal body also has thousands of catties of divine power.

The immortal body is what the Covering the Sky method is proud of.

Now, under the blessing of the Six-Storehouse Thief, Lin Xian's divine power continued to climb, his body continued to sublimate, and finally, only a click was heard, as if he had reached a limit and opened something!

Lin Xian opened his eyes suddenly, his body and spirit both sublimated. Three white-gold divine lights burst out, destroying everything. He condensed the heavenly veins and nurtured his divine sense. A silver-white rune seemed to be engraved between his eyebrows. For him, who had returned to his true self, it added a bit of fairy spirit out of thin air. The third divine light flew out from between his eyebrows, like a flying sword.

Ba Lun, who could only be forced out by brute force before, was now exposed at a glance by his divine sense, and every speck of dust in heaven and earth was in his eyes.

"Open!"

Lin Xian shouted, just stomped his foot, and the earth and rocks suddenly appeared with spider-web-like patterns. Large areas of mountain forests turned into wood chips and danced. The giant rocks more than ten meters away exploded instantly. A moment later, there was nothing near the alchemy room, and it had become a white land.

The alchemists, extraordinary beings, and World Association employees who were serving Lin Xian in the alchemy room suddenly felt their knees go soft, as if they had seen a god!

"Immortal, Immortal Venerable..." Finally, someone couldn't help but moan. Such an existence, is it still human? Why is it still in the mortal world!
