The three of them walked past a cliff and saw a few strange cultivators of Demons. They were competing with each other to see whose Art of Transformation was stronger.
On the other hand, when they passed by a pavilion, they encountered two people fighting each other in the art of talismans. Even though the battle was extremely intense, both of them had smiles on their faces. Obviously, they were enjoying it very much.
"Is this how your sect cultivates?" Fu Donglai couldn't help but ask.
"Not really. Usually, there are elders who teach their disciples and guide them in their cultivation. Occasionally, there will be ancestors who come out to preach. Then, everyone will gather together to discuss Dao and listen to the teachings. Only when they are free will they compete with their fellow disciples. Everyone has a tacit understanding of each other and will stop when the time is right. It is very beneficial for cultivation, "the little Daoist boy explained.
Fu Donglai heard this and was filled with emotions.
When he was at Lion Camel Ridge, even if it was a competition between fellow disciples, he would not hold back and would fight with his life on the line. How could there be such a harmonious atmosphere on Mount Fangcun?
Shen Luo saw this and felt that it was quite interesting. He thought to himself, "Only such an eclectic sect can produce a disciple like Sun Wukong …"
The three of them walked briskly. When they came to a fork in the road, Shen Luo could still find the right direction based on his memory. This surprised the little Daoist boy who was leading the way. He mistakenly thought that Shen Luo had been to Mount Fangcun before.
When he asked, Shen Luo just smiled and denied it. He did not explain further.
Soon, the three of them walked all the way and came to the top of a mountain.
The vegetation on the top of the mountain was sparse. There was a naturally formed open area and a simple thatched hut was built on it.
There were only three adjacent huts. In front of the hut was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. In the middle of the courtyard was a wooden gate that was taller than a person. A wooden plaque was hung on it and the words "Fangcun Residence" were engraved on it.
In Shen Luo's memory, he vaguely remembered that he had been here before, but at that time, he didn't see any thatched huts. Thinking about it, at that time, it was most likely destroyed and no longer existed.
The little Daoist boy led Shen Luo into the small courtyard and saw a small vegetable garden on the left side of the courtyard. On the right side of the courtyard, there was a stone table and a stone bench. It looked very simple and plain, almost no different from a farmer's house.
"The Patriarch has ordered for Benefactor Shen to enter the house for a chat. I'll have to trouble Benefactor Shen to have some tea here and wait for a moment," the little Dao child said as he waved his sleeve across the stone table.
A green light flashed across the table, and an exquisite purple pottery teapot and tea set fell onto the table.
The teacup had already been filled with tea. The color was light green and clear, and it was suffused with a delicate fragrance that refreshed the mind.
"Thank you very much," Fu Donglai said, then sat down.
Shen Luo thanked the little Daoist boy and followed him to the straw hut in the middle.
When they came near, the little Daoist boy pushed open the black wooden door and said, "Please," and then stepped aside.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still stepped in.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, his heart suddenly tightened and he immediately wanted to back out.
But before he could do anything, the Void inside the door, which he didn't sense anything strange before, suddenly twisted. A strong pulling force directly pulled him, and he stumbled and fell into the door.
This twisting force was very strong. Even though Shen Luo was now a cultivator of the Genuine Immortal Stage, he couldn't stop himself from falling forward and was about to stumble and fall.
He only felt that his vision went black, and then it suddenly lit up.
Before Shen Luo could react, his arm was supported by a thin hand.
"Be careful, don't step on my purple begonia," a rather old voice sounded at the same time.
"Junior Shen Luo greets Patriarch Bodhi." After Shen Luo steadied himself, he immediately clasped his hands and bowed.
"No need to be so polite …" The thin hand pressed down on his hands in front of his chest and said with a smile.
Shen Luo put down his hands, and then looked up at the old man and the hundreds of feet wide flower garden behind him.
The old man's face was thin, and his eyebrows were thin and long. His two silkworm eyebrows were slightly knitted, and he had three long strands of beard. He wore a long green robe, and there was a golden ribbon around his waist. His two big sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he looked somewhat like an immortal, but also somewhat like a mortal.
The only thing he didn't have was that many cultivators pretended to be unfathomable.
"Strange, strange, why are the karma lines on your body so messed up?" The old man held his two hands that were stained with mud and frowned at Shen Luo. He looked puzzled, as if he was asking, and also as if he was talking to himself.
Under his gaze, Shen Luo felt as if all his secrets were seen through with a glance, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Don't be nervous. When I first saw you, I felt that there was a strange fate between us, but I couldn't see it clearly at the moment. That's why I invited you here, so that I can make a divination." Patriarch Bodhi saw the situation and said with a smile.
"So the little boy in the city at the foot of the mountain was indeed arranged by Patriarch." Shen Luo understood in his heart and said.
"What arrangement? That was formed by a strand of my soul. I didn't expect that you would come to my Fangcun Mountain based solely on that sketch." Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile.
After saying that, he led Shen Luo along the ridges beside the flower garden, and walked towards a bamboo hut outside the field.
Shen Luo looked along the way and saw that there were countless strange flowers and plants around him, and all of them had strange phenomena. Among them, there was a cluster of red flowers that was still burning with flames, but there wasn't a trace of ash.
Next to it was a patch of cold grass covered in ice crystals. The two were so close together, but they didn't affect each other, which was also very mysterious.
However, what surprised Shen Luo the most was that amongst these flowers and grasses that were obviously not ordinary, there were actually a few stalks of peonies, roses, and other flower sprouts that were commonly seen in the mortal world. Although all of them weren't enshrouded with Immortal Energy, they were still blooming vigorously.
It seemed that to Patriarch Bodhi, no matter if it was an Immortal or a mortal, he liked it based on his heart.
The two came to the bamboo hut and sat in front of a bamboo table, and a pot of green tea was also placed on the table.
"Seeing that your body is full of pure Yang Qi, and Chi You's demonic Qi is equally rampant, the balance is maintained quite well. There should be some secret method, right?" Patriarch Bodhi looked at Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo only nodded, but didn't explain in detail.
"No matter what method is used, it doesn't seem to be a long-term solution. That kind of Profound Yang Co-Refinement Method can't be abused, otherwise it will only cause an irreversible disaster. "Patriarch Bodhi reminded.
Hearing this, Shen Luo was shocked in his heart.
When he didn't use this Profound Yang Demonic Transformation Secret Technique, it was impossible to see through it. Every time he used it, there was a huge price to pay. It would damage his Yang and transform into Yin, causing the Devil Qi to further invade his body. When the Devil Qi took over, his body would be completely demonized.
According to Shen Luo's own guess, when that time came, he would become Chi You's Devil Soul Avatar.
Indeed, as Patriarch Bodhi had said, this process was irreversible.
