Li Qingshan asked, "Then what's she doing?"
Little Ann raised her right hand. It glistened like it was forged from gold. The pale-white, transparent Samādhi Flames of White Bone radiated out, turning back into flesh and blood. Her originally rosy white face seemed rather pale now, and the new skin was deeply imprinted with golden sanskrit as if it was something she was born with.
She tried to use the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, and the golden sanskrit immediately shone with a warm, buddhist light, suppressing the white bone śarīra she had obtained through arduous cultivation.
She stammered, "She suppressed my Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, wanting me to switch to the cultivation method of the school of vinaya."
"She went as far as to sacrifice her life just for that?" Li Qingshan was slightly stunned. He struggled to understand the old nun's thoughts. Just how precious was the life and cultivation of a great cultivator? How could she give it up so easily just so that her disciple could switch to a different cultivation method?
"Yeah, isn't it hilarious? I tricked her for over a decade, and she even gave up her life in the end, channeling her cultivation into my body. As long as I give up on the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty and switch to the cultivation method of the school of vinaya, I'll be able to undergo the third heavenly tribulation easily. Hehe! "
Little Ann laughed gently, but Li Qingshan was unable to laugh. He could also tell that there was no laughter in her voice at all. Instead, there was a hint of pain and bewilderment in her clear eyes. Over a decade of time and space suddenly flooded back. Her pale memories were suddenly dyed with various colours, deeply engraved in them.
Li Qingshan suddenly understood that the Divine Nun of the South Sea did not just want her to switch to a different cultivation method. She also wanted her to have a heart. However, with a heart came regret, struggle, and pain. He embraced her firmly in his arms. "It's not like it's your fault. That old nun was the one who thought too highly of herself!"
"Qingshan. Let's go to the next demon cavern! If this continues, my Samādhi Flames of White Bone will be extinguished! "
Little Ann suddenly grabbed his hand firmly. Her expression was conflicted, but it was mostly filled with determination. The countless golden sanskrit characters had seeped deeply into her bones, wanting to completely cripple her Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
"Do you think it's settled? No matter what path you want to take, I will support you! "
Li Qingshan's feelings were rather mixed. He was not just shocked by the Divine Nun of the South Sea's sacrifice. Was Little Ann's sacrifice any less? Unable to appreciate any beautiful scenery, unable to taste the taste of delicacies, everything was for the sake of cultivation, and then risking life and death again and again to help him fight against powerful enemies, sacrificing more than just one life.
If there was a chance, she would be able to regain these feelings. Even if it was just that ignorant little brat from back then, wasn't it good for her?
"Stupid Qingshan, don't think of leaving me behind again!" Little Ann extended a hand and stroked his cheek. No matter how profound the cultivation method of the school of vinaya was, how could it compare to the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty that came from beyond the Nine Heavens? How am I supposed to keep up with him!
Holding the Buddhist scripture and the disciplinary ruler in his hands, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, Master!"
"Hmph. I still don't like you that much. Good days and bad days will come with me! "Li Qingshan curled his lip. He unfurled his phoenix wings and kicked up a fierce gust of wind, whistling through the air.
"Is there … a demon cavern over there?" Little Ann asked.
"How are you supposed to fight with me in your current state? Find a place and get some proper rest first. I'll deal with the demonfolk. I'll definitely feed you until you're full."
Little Ann agreed and concentrated on circulating the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, doing his best to fend off the invasion of the countless golden sanskrit characters.
… …
In the Myriad Poison cult, the pavilions, terraces, and buildings remained the same, giving off a gloomy and mysterious aura. However, they were covered in a layer of the dust of time. Under the illumination of the setting sun, they seemed especially desolate and cold.
Ru Xin sat in the pill cauldron and cultivated. She was as warm and translucent as white jade, becoming even purer and flawless. Suddenly, she sensed something and stood up, leaving the hall and raising her head.
A streak of resplendent scarlet light tore through the air and landed on the stone square with a boom.
Over a decade had passed. Meeting an old friend again, Ru Xin could not help but smile. "What's the hurry? Are you being hunted down again? Hmm? What's wrong with Little Ann? "
Li Qingshan did not have the luxury of time. He handed Little Ann to Ru Xin carefully. "Help me take care of her!"
Ru Xin's arms sank. Her body that was supposed to be as light as a feather actually became as heavy as metal. The golden sanskrit characters lined her skin solemnly, filled with an inviolable, unshakable solemnity.
Along the way, Li Qingshan had tried to help Little Ann suppress the golden sanskrit characters, but they had already completely merged with her body and even her mind!
Little Ann had studied the buddhist dharma for many years. Although she had gone there with the exact opposite intentions, she had already comprehended the various essences of the buddhist dharma. Anyone who could comprehend to her level was an eminent monk of buddhism who had achieved complete enlightenment. She was only able to maintain her emotionless attitude due to the influence of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. Once this tranquility was shattered, how could she not have a heart towards the buddha and the desire for salvation? How could the White Bone Bodhisattva not have a heart towards the buddha and the desire for salvation?
What made her waver was not the Divine Nun of the South Sea, but the buddha in her heart.
Li Qingshan glanced at Little Ann deeply again. Without saying anything else, he turned around and flew off.
Ru Xin reacted quickly, grabbing him by the shoulder. "What's going on exactly?"
"Your cultivation has progressed rather quickly, but if I didn't stop, your hand would have been ripped off." Li Qingshan came to a halt. He was rather surprised. Although he had not purposefully dodged, just the grab alone demonstrated that she had not wasted the past decade or so.
"Alright, alright, alright. Uncle Li, you're so full of yourself. We, as young cultivators, admire you. Please tell us just what's going on, uncle Li?" Ru Xin curled her lip. Who would just toss someone aside like that?
"You can just ask Little Ann for the details."
"If she's willing to talk to me, and if I'm willing to talk to her, I can obviously ask her."
Ru Xin glanced at Little Ann in her arms. She was also a clever person. Back in the Hundred Schools of Thought, she could already tell that Little Ann was different. When this girl looked at people, she was no different from looking at an object. She would never try to warm up to someone who gave her the cold shoulder.
"Sister Ru Xin … I'm willing … to talk to you … You can ask me!"
Xiao An stuttered. Ru Xin was immediately taken aback. As she gazed at the delicate young lady in her arms, she actually felt like she could not help but pity her. What the hell! This was also the reason why she did not want to have too much contact with this little girl. It was obviously not the Art of Charm, but it was even scarier than that. After getting along with her for a long time, she could not help but be tempted.
"Did you hear that? I'll be back soon! "
"Where are you going? What are you doing? "
"The Devil's Den! Hunting! "Li Qingshan was about to fly away, but he heard Little Ann say again," The South Sea. "
Li Qingshan was slightly stunned, but then he nodded to show that he understood. The wind whistled, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the sunset and flew to the South Sea.
"He really trusts me. After all, you're his treasure." Ru Xin couldn't help but reach out and pinch Little Ann's face. She had a kind of joy of taking advantage of someone in danger. "Tell me, how do you want me to take care of you? Are you sick? "
"Let go!" Little Ann stared at Ru Xin unhappily.
