The green-scaled python was dead!

It died very peacefully. In less than a second, it was smashed into meat paste.

It was an expiation without pain.

The little fox was stunned. Even when the dust stirred by the Treasure Mountain Seal attacked, it did not react.

A move from the human could actually reach such a terrifying level!

Indeed, the Human Race was worthy of being the race that occupied the providence of the world. This method was indeed extraordinary.

The moment the dust arrived, Li Xuanxin picked up the little fox with one hand. With a light step, he immediately flew away with the Flying Steps.

The Merit Golden Lotus in his mind flickered.

[Killed green-scaled python. Merit points +420!]

He actually got 420 merit points!

Unexpectedly, it was still a surprise.

As long as the green-scaled python had eaten humans in the past five hundred years, it would be affected by negative karma. That would not happen if it ate animals.

The Human Race was at its peak and occupied the providence of the world. Those who harmed them would suffer a backlash from the providence of the world. He could obtain merit points by ending their lives. Even if it were evil people who killed others, he could also obtain merit points by sending them off.

Merit points did not depend on the other party’s cultivation level, but on whether they had done evil.

For example, the green-scaled python had a high cultivation level. Chen Jinlian was only a ghost that had just died, but it only had a few more merit points than Chen Jinlian. This meant that it did not eat many people, only about twenty to thirty.

If it killed many people, including more people in the future, expiating it would save more than one life. The merit would naturally be much greater.

..

After returning to the Spirit Platform Temple, Li Xuanxin put the little fox down.

“After consuming the Five-Colored Lotus, you will already have a hundred years of cultivation. You will no longer be an ordinary fox, but a small demon. In the future, you cannot easily step into Spirit Platform Temple. You will be caught. Hurry up and go home.”

“Remember, unless you encounter bad people and evil demons, you cannot hurt living beings.”

“Otherwise, I won’t spare you!”

The little fox’s big eyes rolled around. It actually stood up and bowed to Li Xuanxin like a human. Then, it turned into a ball of fiery red light and disappeared into the forest.

Li Xuanxin stepped into the sect.

He was originally thinking about how to explain to his master. Only when he came to his master’s courtyard did he know that his master had been helping Junior Xuan Mu cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture these few days, so he had not been out. It saved him the trouble of explaining.

Just as he arrived at his master’s courtyard, he saw his master, Hui Jue, walking out of the room happily.

“Eh, Xuanxin is here.”

“Master seems to have encountered something.”

“Hahaha.. Your Junior Xuan Mu is really a genius at cultivating the Buddhist Dharma. He only took three days to learn the first level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture!”

“This result is good enough to be ranked in the top ten in the history of Spirit Platform Temple! It’s really the blessing of Buddha.”

Li Xuanxin was slightly surprised. He did not expect Junior Xuan Mu to be so accomplished in Buddhist Dharma.

Ordinary people who cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture also experience progressive difficulty.

For example, cultivating the first level might take ten days. Then, cultivating the second level to the third level would take about twenty days. Cultivating the third level to the fourth level would take forty days!

In other words, the shorter the time needed to cultivate the first level, the faster the cultivation later.

It was difficult for ordinary people to cultivate the first level without a month or two. If they could learn the first level in ten days or half a month, it would not be a problem for them to be an elder in the temple in a few decades.

For someone like this junior who learned the first level in three days, his comprehension was really not low.

“With the blessing of the Buddhist Sect, our courtyard has finally produced a prodigy. Congratulations.”

Hui Jue nodded and said, “Xuanxin, in the afternoon, a disciple came to inform us that tomorrow, the various academies will each send two people to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain. They will recite the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and help the few head monks repair the seal of the Blood Fiend Ancestor.”

“At that time, you can go with your Senior Xuan Shui.”

“Master, aren’t you going personally?”

Hui Jue shook his head.

“I asked the temple for a Great Recovery Pill and prepared to give it to your junior to help him cultivate.”

“Great Recovery Pill. Master, isn’t this what you wanted to keep for yourself?”

Li Xuanxin was a little surprised.

The Buddhist Sect had Small and Great Recovery Pills. They were all top-grade pills.

The Small Recovery Pill could increase cultivation and lifespan by a year, while the Great Recovery Pill could increase cultivation and lifespan by ten years!

These two pills required a certain amount of contribution.

The Small Recovery Pill was still fine. Many elite disciples could exchange for it, but the demand for the Great Recovery Pill was extremely high. Many elders could only accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for it even if they spent their entire lives. Furthermore, they could only exchange for one Great Recovery Pill.

Therefore, these elders often kept the only Great Recovery Pill in their lives for themselves.

He did not expect his master to actually want to give his Great Recovery Pill to his junior.

Hui Jue sighed.

“My potential is not good. I don’t have much hope in this life. I can only place my hopes on you disciples. Your junior has the best potential. I want to try and see if I can send him to the Zen Heart Court. If I succeed, it can be said that I didn’t waste my life.”

The Four Great Buddhist Sects each had their own key cultivation halls. The Shaolin Temple had the Dharma Court, the Diamond Monastery had the Arhat Court, the Bodhi Temple had the Enlightened Heart Court, and the Spirit Platform Temple had the Zen Heart Court.

Once a disciple of the Buddhist Sect entered one of the Four Great Courts, they could almost be said to have leaped through the dragon gate. They had many resources and their future was definitely not low. They might even step into the legendary River Realm!

Those disciples who could not even enter the four halls would not have more than three or four hundred years of cultivation base in their lives.

Cultivating a disciple who entered the Zen Heart Court had always been Master Hui Jue’s wish.

“Xuanxin, do you think Master is a little biased?”

Master Hui Jue suddenly spoke, but Li Xuanxin shook his head.

“Master, you can only obtain one Great Recovery Pill in your life. If you can obtain a few more, or if my potential is the best, you will definitely give them to me.”

Previously, Li Xuanxin had not cultivated a trace of cultivation in the past five years, and Hui Jue had never shown poor treatment towards him. He was a worthy master, but he was too weak. He could not control some things himself.

In addition.. be it the Great Recovery Pill or the Zen Heart Court, Li Xuanxin no longer cared about them.

Hearing this, Hui Jue heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’m relieved that you think that. With cultivation resources in the future, I won’t forget you and my fellow disciples. Go rest.”

“Yes.”

Li Xuanxin bid farewell to his master, but he did not rest. Instead, he came to the Sutra Pavilion.

He wanted to know more about the Five-Colored Lotus and that strange dream.

There were quite a number of people in the Sutra Pavilion at night. The monks who cultivated diligently during the day could read the insights and notes of some seniors at night to make up for their mistakes in cultivation during the day. Therefore, there were many readers who read at night.

These days, being a monk was also very complicated.

Li Xuanxin came to the Sutra Pavilion and surrounded the bookshelves. After searching for a long time, he finally saw a plant scroll related to natural treasures in a corner.

“Found it.”
