Zhao Hai looked at Na Zhen and smiled bitterly, "I knew that I wouldn't be able to hide it from Senior Brother. Senior Brother Na Yu told me that Senior Brother Na Yun wanted to focus on training me. Moreover, he also gave me a Vajra Bell. I heard that it's an extraordinary treasure. I really don't understand why Senior Brother Na Yu and Senior Brother Na Yun would take such a fancy to me." Na Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Na Yu, Senior Brother Na Yun.
When Na Zhen heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You mean to say that Senior Brother Na Yu told you that he would train you well?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, Senior Brother Nuo Yu already told me about it. Moreover, he also said that all of my future missions will be arranged by him. He also gave me the Vajra Bell as a gift."
Jing Hai, for you, this is definitely a good thing. You're a Rogue Cultivator. If you cultivate normally, I'm afraid you wouldn't have much success. If Senior Brother Na Yun focuses on you, then you would definitely become an Ethereal Returning Realm expert in the future. As for why the two Senior Brothers favor you, it's hard to say. However, I heard a rumor that each Senior Brother controls a secret force. They wouldn't use this force easily, but once they do, it would mean that something big would happen. "Na Yun nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said," Jing Hai, for you, this is definitely a good thing. You're a Rogue Cultivator. If you cultivate normally, then you wouldn't have much success. If Senior Brother Na Yun focuses on you, then you would definitely become an Ethereal Returning Realm expert in the future.
Zhao Hai looked at Na Zhen and said, "Senior Brother, why would Senior Brother Na Yun and the others control a secret force? It doesn't seem to be of any use to them, right?"
Na Zhen shook his head and said, "Nobody knows. However, there's one thing that's certain. The secret force that the Senior Brothers control, its core members, are all people of the Iron Buddha Temple. Moreover, they must be the Senior Brothers' trusted subordinates. These people are the sharpest blades in the hands of the Senior Brothers."
Zhao Hai's expression changed. He looked at Na Zhen and said, "Senior Brother, you mean to say that Senior Brother Na Yun wants to secretly train me?"
Na Zhen shook his head and said, "No one can say for sure. In fact, the so-called secret training is something that everyone can see. In fact, it's equal to training in the open. The people they train are very loyal to them. When necessary, they will risk their lives for them. Ordinary people like them won't risk their lives for them. After all, everyone is a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple, so they will follow the orders of the Iron Buddha Temple. As for the people trained by the Senior Brothers, they will follow their orders first and then follow the orders of the temple. If the Senior Brothers and the Senior Brothers give them orders at the same time, then they will certainly listen to the Senior Brothers' orders and not the temple's. In fact, the temple is also aware of this and has always been in a state of tacit approval."
Zhao Hai nodded, he now understood the situation of the Iron Buddha Temple's core disciples. The Iron Buddha Temple's core disciples wanted them to hold high positions in the temple in the future. Naturally, they would train some of their trusted subordinates. Once they reach that position, they would be able to arrange their subordinates to work for them. This way, they would be able to stabilize their position very quickly. The so-called secret training might be true, but it was impossible for them to train people like Zhao Hai. Perhaps the Iron Buddha Temple's core disciples would train people outside the temple. This way, they would be able to do things that were inconvenient for them to do. Zhao Hai was a member of the Iron Buddha Temple, so if Na Yun wanted to train him, it wouldn't be long before other people knew about it. There was simply no way to hide this matter.
This made Zhao Hai feel relieved. He didn't want to become an assassin trained by Na Yun. He came to the Iron Buddha Temple to learn the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. At the same time, he also wanted the identity of a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. If he really became an assassin in the dark, then it would be completely contrary to his original intention.
The reason why Na Zhen couldn't think of this and treated the secret training as the same thing should be because of his vision. Although Na Zhen had a certain status among the outer disciples, he was still an outer disciple after all. He didn't have such a high vision and couldn't see these problems clearly, which was why he was like this.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath and bowed to Na Zhen, "Thank you, Senior Brother Na Zhen. I understand Senior Brother's meaning. I'm relieved now. Otherwise, there would be a knot in my heart that would make me very uncomfortable."
Na Zhen smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. Junior Brother, you're a rogue cultivator, so you have to rely on yourself for everything. Even if you have friends around you, you have to be careful. But you have to know that you're now in the Iron Buddha Temple. Everyone around you is your Senior Brothers. Moreover, our Iron Buddha Temple isn't like those Devil Sects that scheme against each other. Our Iron Buddha Temple has a lot of Senior Monks. Although they don't care about the temple's matters, if something really happens in the temple, they won't just stand by and watch. Therefore, our Iron Buddha Temple won't have that kind of situation. Senior Brother Na Yun is training you because he sees some aspects of you that are worth training. You don't need to be so suspicious."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother can rest assured. I know what to do."
Na Zhen looked at Zhao Hai and smiled faintly, "I almost understand why Senior Brother Na Zhen values you so much. Jing Hai, although your strength isn't very good in the Iron Buddha Temple, you're very alert. You didn't rely on your own brute force to complete the missions. Instead, you completed the missions while minimizing your losses. This is what Senior Brother Na Yun values the most about you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, but I'll still work hard to improve my strength. After all, I'm still too weak right now."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Right. Although Senior Brother Na Yun values your intelligence and alertness, you shouldn't forget that you're a Cultivator. In the end, the most important thing for a Cultivator is one's strength. If your strength continues to increase, then even if Senior Brother Na Yun values you, he would still give up one day."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I will. Senior Brother can rest assured. If Senior Brother has something to do, you can look for me. If you need to carry out a mission, you can also call me."
Na Zhen smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare call you. Your current missions are all arranged by Senior Brother Na Yu. He certainly has his own plans. If I call you and disrupt his plans, then it wouldn't be good. However, if I ask Senior Brother Na Yu in advance and he agrees, then I'll certainly call you."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's good. Then Senior Brother, I'll take my leave first. I still have to go back and cultivate. I'll try to reach the second level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body as soon as possible."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, then you can go. If you need anything, just tell me. Your identity isn't ordinary now. Even if I can't get what you need, there's still Senior Brother Na Yu. Go."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he gave Na Zhen a salute before turning around to leave. Upon returning to his room, Zhao Hai relaxed. He discovered that he was thinking too much. After all, the Iron Buddha Temple was different from other places. Even if there were schemes and competitions, they would still be limited to a certain extent. This way, he didn't need to worry about anything.
In fact, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about what Na Yun and the others would do to him. He was just worried that if Na Yun and the others became like fire and water, then he wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace in the Iron Buddha Temple. For him, this wasn't a good thing. He still didn't know the cultivation method for the next few levels of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body.
Although he could improve the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, if he lost his identity as a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple, then it would be very inconvenient for him to do things in the Sword Spirit Realm. It was just like the Tide-watching Gang. Although the Tide-watching Gang was established and reformed, they had to act in secret. Because of this, it was impossible for the Tide-watching Gang to develop quickly. There was a big difference between being in the light and being in the dark.
On the fifth day after Zhao Hai and Na Yu finished their mission, Zhao Hai was cultivating in his room when a Buddhist seal suddenly flew in front of him. Zhao Hai quickly opened the seal and saw that it was a letter from Na Yu. He gave Zhao Hai a mission and asked him to go to the Mission Hall to receive it.
Zhao Hai was already mentally prepared, so he didn't have any disgust. This was because he could gain a better understanding of the Sword Spirit Realm through these missions. Naturally, he didn't like doing group missions. This was because doing group missions wouldn't give him a lot of benefits. If he did his own missions, then he might have some unexpected gains.
However, there was also a benefit to doing group missions. He could get to know the people of the Iron Buddha Temple better. This would make it easier for him to do things in the future.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the Mission Hall, he immediately took his ID card and went to the Mission Hall. Then he handed it over to the Monk. When the Monk saw Zhao Hai's expression, he didn't say anything. He took the ID card and looked at it. Then he directly said, "Mission No. 31. Take a look at it yourself." Then he ignored Zhao Hai.
When the people in the mission hall heard the conversation between Zhao Hai and the monk, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai with envy. These people weren't like Zhao Hai, they weren't Rogue Cultivators. They were disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple. Naturally, they understood what Zhao Hai's performance meant. It meant that he was fancied by a core disciple and was being trained. Otherwise, the people in the mission hall wouldn't take care of him and give him a mission before he even arrived. This was something that only core disciples could do.
At the same time, everyone turned their attention to the thirty-first mission. When they saw the thirty-first mission, their faces changed. Then they looked at Zhao with some sympathy. Their previous looks of jealousy had completely disappeared.
Zhao Hai also saw the 31st mission. What Zhao Hai didn't expect was that it was a hunting mission. The Iron Buddha Temple's territory was very large, there were a lot of big and small cities. Naturally, there would be people who didn't abide by the rules. However, the Iron Buddha Temple had branches in each city. Most of these branches were Monasteries. The people who managed the cities were mostly clans that had good relations with the Iron Buddha Temple. Some of these clans were established after the Iron Buddha Temple's disciples returned to the secular world. There were also some clans that relied on the Iron Buddha Temple. But no matter who managed the city, the Iron Buddha Temple had a rule that no one was allowed to make a move within the city. Even if they wanted to make a move, they had to do it outside the city or at a designated location. Otherwise, they would be punished by the Iron Buddha Temple. Naturally, there was another rule that couldn't be violated. Otherwise, it would be more serious than this one, it was absolutely forbidden to hurt the Iron Buddha Temple's disciples.
There were a lot of disciples in the Iron Buddha Temple. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't take care of things. However, if they heard that a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple was injured or killed, then the Iron Buddha Temple would definitely retaliate. No matter who the culprit was, they would chase the culprit to the end. Because of this, the casualties of the Iron Buddha Temple's disciples were very small.
And this mission No. 31 was a hunting mission. This was because a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple was killed in a small city called Rong City.
Rong City was a small city with a population of less than two hundred thousand people. Under normal circumstances, the Iron Buddha Temple wouldn't put too many disciples in a small city like this. They would only build a small temple outside the city with at most five to ten monks inside. And these monks were all outer disciples, there wouldn't be any inner disciples stationed there.
This time, the incident happened in Rong City. There were five disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple in Rong City. All of them were outer disciples and weren't very strong. Moreover, they didn't stay there permanently, they would change every three years. Under normal circumstances, they only needed to cultivate in the temple. All of their food and clothing would be provided by the clans in the city. And every year, the clans in the city would send gifts to the Iron Buddha Temple. These gifts would be collected by the clans in the city and then sent back to the temple. The clans in the city would manage the matter. If the clans couldn't handle it, then the disciples would have no choice but to report the matter to the Iron Buddha Temple. It can be said that the disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple in Rong City were used to monitor and report information.
However, two days ago, a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple in Rong City was killed. He was on his way back to the temple outside of Rong City. This was because the disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple would visit the city every once in a while. At the same time, they would also buy things that they needed. Because of this, if a disciple didn't come back for one or two days, nobody would pay attention to him. But two days after that disciple entered the city, another disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple found the corpse of that disciple. This was a big matter, so he immediately reported it. Naturally, the Iron Buddha Temple would send people to investigate and kill the murderer. This task was given to Zhao Hai by Na Yu.
