Chapter 178: Burn It! Lin Xuan's Idea

It is a good thing the person is not here right now, otherwise, Fang Dongtian feels he would take action.

"Is it the Dharma body you shed?"

Lao Tianshi stroked his beard, looking at Fang Dongtian with a strange expression.

Such things are hard to come by nowadays.

Those who truly achieve the Yang Spirit are few to begin with, let alone those who decisively abandon their bodies like this.

"What Dharma body or not, it is just the skin bag I left behind."

Fang Dongtian waved his hand, then spoke into the phone.

"Just burn it!"

"Ah? Grandmaster, is that really okay?"

Luo Daming on the other end hesitated upon hearing this.

If he had truly passed away, burning the body would be fine, but the person is still here.

"Stop with all the nonsense, I told you to burn it so burn it; it's useless anyway, unless you plan to leave it for a few days until it stinks?"

"Grandmaster, with your cultivation?"

"What cultivation? That is, after all, a mortal fleshly body."

Fang Dongtian said huffily.

"But Grandmaster, you are, after all, the first Yang Spirit True Person in our Baiyun Guan in hundreds of years. Why not keep it? It's a memento, or perhaps we could preserve it and enshrine it for you?"

"You just want to see this old Daoist achieve Ascension, don't you?"

Fang Dongtian's expression vanished upon hearing this, and he asked with a straight face.

Luo Daming on the other end clearly realized that doing so did indeed seem wrong.

Fang Dongtian's situation is special; enshrining it is indeed inappropriate.

"Enough, just burn it!"

Fang Dongtian's tone became very serious.

The sound of Luo Daming on the other end disappeared, only to resume after a long while.

"Understood, Grandmaster!"

"Wait, I actually think enshrining it sounds pretty good; I'll come back to offer you a stick of incense!"

Lin Xuan's voice rang out from the phone.

Fang Dongtian's face grew even darker.

"If anyone is to be enshrined, it should be you, since you are currently the only Inner Elixir True Person in our Quanzhen."

"Uh, never mind then!"

Lin Xuan's voice sounded again, and then the call was hung up.

Fang Dongtian handed the phone to Lao Tianshi.

"The relationships in your Baiyun Guan are quite good; my disciples aren't like that, they are all very rigid and don't know how to be flexible at all. Tell me, why are they all so unlike me?"

Lao Tianshi raised his hand to take the phone, then asked.

"How would I know? Tianshi, do you think this is a good thing?"

Fang Dongtian twitched the corner of his mouth and rolled his eyes directly.

"Isn't it quite good? I actually wish I had a disciple like that, or else..."

Before Lao Tianshi could finish his sentence, Fang Dongtian took a step, his figure appearing over ten meters away as if by Instant Teleportation.

"I'm going to find Old Lu, Tianshi, see you later!"

Having said that, Fang Dongtian flew away just like that.

"That really is convenient!"

Lao Tianshi walked out the door, looked up at the sky where there was no longer any movement, and could not help but feel a bit envious.

With this method, one really can go anywhere.

"Senior Brother, what was that just now?"

Tian Jinzhong walked over.

It seems he no longer intends to hide the fact that his body has been healed.

"Old Daoist Fang, he came to show off to your Senior Brother after achieving the Yang Spirit."

Lao Tianshi said with his hands behind his back.

"Achieved the Yang Spirit? Is it the one I'm thinking of?"

"Yes, it is exactly the one you are thinking of."

Tian Jinzhong was somewhat stunned, then felt something was wrong.

"Shouldn't it be the Inner Elixir? Why did he go for the Yang Spirit?"

It carries the word 'Spirit', but when it comes to the Great Dao, the Inner Elixir is still supreme.

Are the Dragon Tiger Golden Pills not enough?

"As for that, we shall talk later. Junior Brother, do you have something?"

Lao Tianshi turned his head to look at Tian Jinzhong upon hearing this.

"I do indeed have something. After you left following your bout with Lin Xuan, Xiao Yuzi returned."

Tian Jinzhong thought for a moment and decided to tell Lao Tianshi about it.

Lao Tianshi's expression shifted.

But now, he was not as vigilant about that secret as before.

However, he was not so guarded about that secret anymore.

"Did they find you?"

"They didn't dare get close, just watched from afar for a few moments before leaving."

Tian Jinzhong sighed.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to mention it again in the future. Xiao Yuzi is the Acting Sect Leader of All-Nature; while I was clashing with Lin Xuan, he even led people to attack a Bunker of the Company and rescued Ding Daoan."

Lao Tianshi nodded, speaking of something he had only learned about recently.

"Good!"

Tian Jinzhong did not insist; although the more than three years of companionship could not be easily forgotten, Xiao Yuzi clearly had an agenda, most likely the secret he had always wanted to keep.

Baiyun Guan.

Lin Xuan tucked the phone back into his sleeve and stood up.

"Then I'll leave Grandmaster to you, Master; I'll be heading back now."

Luo Daming was deep in thought, and upon hearing Lin Xuan say this, he nodded subconsciously; only then did he realize what had happened and looked up abruptly, but there was no one left in front of him, and not only that, but the wine and food on the table had also been taken away.

"Running so fast, and I was still planning to hand this matter over to him."

Luo Daming twitched the corner of his mouth, then shook his head helplessly, stepped into the room, and looked at the body of Fang Dongtian.

Burn him while he's still here?

This feels a bit strange.

Lin Xuan returned directly to his residence with Er She.

"Does Benefactor seem somewhat dissatisfied with this matter?"

Xiao Bai was very sensitive; seeing Lin Xuan sit down and place the wine and food on the table, she asked softly.

"It's not dissatisfaction, but rather a pity. But since Grandmaster has already decided, there is nothing I can do. Fortunately, it can be considered a success."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan glanced at Xiao Bai, then nodded and shook his head.

"I don't mind the trouble, but this old Daoist thinks too much. However, let it be; although the Yang Spirit is the perfection of nature-cultivation, it is not without the possibility of going further."

"Benefactor? Is there a way here too?"

Xiao Qing was not as sensitive as Xiao Bai, but she had heard the conversation between Lin Xuan and Fang Dongtian earlier, and was somewhat surprised at this moment.

"No!"

Lin Xuan spread his hands.

"Ah?"

Both snakes were stunned.

While the two snakes were stunned, Lin Xuan spoke again, "But there will be in the future."

"In the future? Does Benefactor mean finding a way to continue improving the Yang Spirit later?"

"Something like that, but I'll have to rely on luck for those later. You know, my luck has always been good."

The two snakes looked at each other and then nodded in unison.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. After we go down the mountain later, we'll see if we can find the Five Elements Power to continue refining the inner core."

"With Benefactor's luck, you certainly can."

Xiao Qing was even more confident than Lin Xuan.

"But Benefactor, do you really intend to become one of the Ten Elders? It seems like there are quite a lot of things to deal with."

"It's just a side matter. Isn't the Tianshi the same? I see he doesn't manage things either; it's actually just a title. Besides, according to my thinking, the Company still needs to be engaged with."

After all, he is not yet sure whether he will need to lift the seal between this heaven and earth in the future.

If he decides to lift it later, it will certainly cause a great commotion.

At that time, he will have to consider not only the Company but also the ordinary people.

Of course, it is still too early to think about these things now.

With his current cultivation, like the time in the no-man's land, it's fine to break it on a small scale for a short time, but once it's a big one, he might not be able to do it right now.

And the person who set this thing up back then either had a higher cultivation than him or it was created by a large group of people working together.
