Chapter 3020: Overjoyed

Hong Changqing didn't know what gift Ye Chen wanted to give everyone, but according to his thoughts, since more than four hundred people each had a share, it was likely something that money could buy.

For Hong Changqing, he was not short of money, and he was not very interested in things that money could buy. But since Ye Chen said so, he naturally had to show support, so he said very gratefully, "Master Ye is busy with a thousand things yet still remembers us, which really makes your subordinate flattered. Your subordinate thanks Master Ye on behalf of everyone!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Heavenly Master Hong doesn't need to be so polite."

Hong Changqing said respectfully, "If Master Ye has no other instructions, your subordinate will go and call Miss Ito over."

"Good."

Hong Changqing said goodbye and left, then returned to the martial arts hall, called Ito Nanako out, and whispered, "Miss Ito, Master Ye is here, in the general manager's office, asking you to go there to see him."

As soon as Ito Nanako heard that Ye Chen was here, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "Ye Chen-kun is here! Then I'll go there now! Thank you, Heavenly Master Hong!"

After speaking, she bowed deeply to Hong Changqing.

Hong Changqing was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, "I just passed a message, why thank me?"

Just thinking about it, Ito Nanako had already run far away.

Soon, Ito Nanako came to the door of the general manager's office. Before she could knock, Ye Chen said inside, "Come in, Nanako."

Ito Nanako carefully pushed the door open, first revealing her head to look at Ye Chen with a sweet smile, and then entered the office, closing the door with her back, and asked Ye Chen happily, "Ye Chen-kun, when did you come back?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "I just came back today."

After speaking, he looked at Ito Nanako, and the whole person was stunned, exclaiming, "Nanako, you... why is there spiritual energy in your body?!"

Ito Nanako asked Ye Chen with some excitement and some shyness, "Did Ye Chen-kun see it?"

Ye Chen nodded heavily, and then asked her, "You... you achieved enlightenment?"

Ito Nanako smiled and nodded, "I feel that my whole state has undergone a great change, my senses are much stronger than before, and I can perceive things around me. It should be considered enlightenment..."

Ye Chen was excited and overjoyed!

He never dreamed that there would be someone around him who could achieve enlightenment.

This gave him a feeling like someone forced to walk alone in the dark, suddenly meeting a like-minded friend to accompany him and walk together.

Excited, he subconsciously took Nanako's hand, passed a trace of spiritual energy into her body, and immediately confirmed that Ito Nanako's sea of consciousness already had spiritual energy, confirming that she had truly achieved enlightenment and, like him, had become someone who could control spiritual energy.

He couldn't help but ask, "Nanako, how on earth did you do it?"

Ito Nanako said truthfully, "By chance, I heard that a high monk was coming to Jin Ling to preach and could give people consecrated amulets, so I went to Qixia Temple to pay a visit. As a result, he insisted that I had wisdom roots and wanted me to study Buddhism like him after enlightenment. I said I had no interest in studying Buddhism, but he told me the method of enlightenment. I tried it myself, and accidentally achieved enlightenment..."

"Accidentally achieved enlightenment..." Ye Chen was completely stunned, and couldn't help but sigh, "Do you know that some people have been unable to achieve enlightenment for hundreds of years, and some people have been unable to achieve enlightenment even after following a master who has already achieved enlightenment for a lifetime? You actually accidentally achieved enlightenment..."

Ito Nanako thought Ye Chen was exaggerating, and said with a light smile, "Ye Chen-kun is really joking. How can anyone be unable to achieve enlightenment for hundreds of years? People who haven't achieved enlightenment probably can't live that long, right?"

Ye Chen smiled noncommittally.

He naturally couldn't tell anyone about Lin Wan'er, including Nanako.

However, it was indeed a fact that Lin Wan'er had taken the Eternal Evergreen Pill and lived for so many years without being able to enter the Dao.

Moreover, the ancestor of the Jiang family had served Meng Changsheng for a lifetime, and it could be seen from the images left in that painting that Meng Changsheng was sincere to the ancestor of the Jiang family at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have gone back to fulfill his promise after finding the opportunity.

But even though the ancestor of the Jiang family received Meng Changsheng's unreserved treatment, he still couldn't achieve enlightenment.

And Ito Nanako actually achieved enlightenment smoothly under the guidance of a Buddhist monk. This was really incredible.

So, Ye Chen asked her, "Nanako, can you tell me the details of your enlightenment?"

Ito Nanako smiled and said, "Of course. Nanako has no secrets in front of Ye Chen-kun."

After speaking, she told Ye Chen everything without reservation: how she happened to meet that neighbor in the elevator, how she saw Master Jingqing at Qixia Temple, how she debated non-self and true self with Master Jingqing, and how she found the whole process of enlightenment in her sea of consciousness.

After listening, Ye Chen did not doubt Master Jingqing or the trigger of the whole thing.

After all, when Ito Nanako described it, she said it was when she happened to meet a neighbor who was on the phone when she got off the elevator. After hearing the neighbor talk about the amulet, it was also Ito Nanako who took the initiative to ask, and then learned about Master Jingqing.

If someone had taken the initiative to tell Ito Nanako all this, it would naturally make people feel a bit deliberate.

But when all this was something Ito Nanako took the initiative to strive for, whether it was Nanako herself or Ye Chen, the bystander, they felt that everything was logical.

And precisely because everything seemed to have no flaws, Ye Chen focused his attention on Ito Nanako's method of enlightenment.

Letting one's divine sense merge into one's sea of consciousness, this was the first time Ye Chen had heard of this statement.

Because his enlightenment had almost no process. After obtaining the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra", he had already completed the whole process of enlightenment, so he didn't experience how to achieve enlightenment.

In addition to surprise, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that enlightenment really depends on talent and opportunity. Just internal observation is something only a very few people can do, and those who can observe internally in the sea of consciousness are even fewer, not to mention on these foundations, letting the divine sense merge with the sea of consciousness... Nanako, you have both talent and opportunity, so you were able to achieve enlightenment so smoothly."

Ito Nanako nodded and smiled, "Nanako is actually not very interested in enlightenment, but thinking that if I successfully achieve enlightenment, I will have more time and opportunities to accompany Ye Chen-kun in the future, so I felt full of motivation."

Ye Chen was moved in his heart, but couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that I don't have a mental technique suitable for practicing spiritual energy, otherwise I could share it with you and make progress together."

Ito Nanako smiled, "Ye Chen-kun doesn't need to be frustrated. The road ahead is still very long. Maybe at some point, we will find an opportunity to go further."

Ye Chen nodded slightly in agreement, "Yes, there is no need to worry about this. There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

After speaking, he remembered something, hurriedly took out a Peiyuan Pill, handed it to Nanako, and said, "Nanako, although you have achieved enlightenment now, you don't have a mental technique, and there is no natural spiritual energy around you. It is very difficult to improve your strength, and it is even difficult to increase the spiritual energy in your body. This pill is specially used to replenish spiritual energy. You take it and try it first!" ===== CHAPTER 3021 =====
