"Amitabha!" Fa Yuan stood ten steps away from him. His grey robe fluttered in the wind and his handsome face was solemn.
Chu Li grinned. "Monk Fa Yuan, you still haven't given up yet!"
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together. "Congratulations, Almsgiver Chu's martial arts has improved greatly!"
Chu Li waved his hand. "Hypocrite! Do you really like my martial arts? The Tempest Temple can't wait for my martial arts to be crippled and kill me! "
"Almsgiver Chu, you're wrong." Fa Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm following the Abbot's orders to surrender to you. If you convert to our temple, everyone in our temple will be happy!"
Chu Li waved his hand. "Monk, forget it. We're not on the same path. I haven't enjoyed enough glory and wealth. I haven't seen enough of the mortal world!"
When he first left the temple and entered the Public House, he wanted to experience the mortal world and enjoy the riches of this world. Dharma was profound. No matter how smart a person was, they would not be able to understand the essence of Dharma without experiencing the mortal world and seeing through it.
It was like telling a person who had never eaten meat that they would get tired of eating too much meat. If they did not eat enough meat, no matter how good their understanding was, they would not get tired of it.
"Amitabha …" Fa Yuan sighed. "What a pity, what a pity!"
Chu Li smiled. "Monk, you want to kill me!"
"Subduing demons is my duty!" Fa Yuan shook his head. "Almsgiver Chu, why do you have to do this?"
Chu Li said, "Monk, I won't hold back then!"
Fa Yuan pointed with his finger soundlessly.
Chu Li sidestepped and dodged it. "Monk, you're so cunning. What kind of finger energy is that?"
"Formless Finger." Fa Yuan said gently, "Almsgiver Chu, please!"
Chu Li suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Fa Yuan's body moved as well. Like a wisp of smoke, he moved in front of him and behind him at the same time, preventing Chu Li from flashing to his back. At the same time, he shot out rays of finger energy that turned into a large net to protect his body, preventing Chu Li from approaching him silently.
Chu Li appeared a hundred feet away and laughed. "Monk, why are you so afraid of death? A monk has not seen through life and death. Your boundary is not high enough!"
Fa Yuan's expression did not change, he clasped his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha, sighing, "Almsgiver Chu has great Light-body Technique!"
Chu Li said, "Fa Yuan, you can't just follow me like this. You can't break my Light-body Technique, and you can't threaten me with other people's lives. Why don't we stop?"
Fa Yuan said faintly, "I will always follow Almsgiver Chu and look for flaws."
"How long are you going to follow me?"
"If one month is not enough, then one year. If one year is not enough, then ten years." Fa Yuan said, "Almsgiver Chu is my inner demon, I must get rid of him!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "I've become your inner demon. Interesting, I can only destroy you now!"
He disappeared in a flash.
Fa Yuan's silhouette followed suit, he was as ethereal as smoke. Chu Li did not appear at all.
Fa Yuan did not dare to stop for even a moment. After fifteen minutes, there was still no movement.
His sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly and he suddenly stopped. He focused his attention and gathered the power in his finger. He was ready to strike at any time and was also ready to dodge his opponent's sneak attack.
A cool breeze gently swept past the treetops, blowing on his face and making him feel warm. The forest was empty, and there was no longer any movement.
He did not dare to relax and was very careful.
Chu Li suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Fa Yuan. Fa Yuan had been paying attention to what was behind him and did not expect Chu Li to appear in front of him.
"Chi!" A cold light shot towards Fa Yuan's throat.
Fa Yuan desperately moved to the side, relying on the warning signs and intuition at the last moment, he barely avoided the attack. The left side of his neck was slashed by the blade. If it was not for the Sentient Menace, he would have been injured.
Chu Li shook his head. With the protection of the Sentient Menace, it would not be easy to kill Fa Yuan.
"Monk, again!" Chu Li chuckled and disappeared once again.
Fa Yuan suddenly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. He put his palms together and chanted. He activated the Sentient Menace to the extreme and his whole body was enveloped in golden light.
Chu Li stood twenty meters away and sized him up.
Fa Yuan was already at the fourth level of the Sentient Menace. It was clear that he was gifted and was even better than Chu Li. Such a young monk from the Tempest Temple was able to reach the Grandmaster's Boundary. Who knew how many Grandmasters were hidden in the Tempest Temple.
Time passed slowly. Fa Yuan took out a porcelain bottle and swallowed a pill. He then continued to chant.
The Sentient Menace consumed a lot of inner energy. With each advancement, the consumption of inner energy doubled. Chu Li estimated that no matter how deep Fa Yuan's inner energy was, his inner energy could not be used for too long. After all, he could not use the surrounding spiritual energy like the Life and Death Scripture.
Chu Li disappeared from the spot and returned to the carriage.
Siao Qi was talking next to Siao Shi's carriage. She felt his appearance and glanced at him. Her eyes were as clear as spring water.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. He swung the horsewhip lightly.
Along the way, Chu Li appeared in front of Fa Yuan from time to time to ambush him. Although Fa Yuan was struggling, he was not injured. The Sentient Menace made him invincible. He could not do anything to Chu Li, and Chu Li could not do anything to him.

Jing Hai Town, Kang Residence
Chu Li changed into a scholar's green robe and took a folding fan. It immediately covered up his heroic spirit and made him look like a scholar. He followed Siao Shi and Siao Qi side by side with Guo Mulin and entered the lively Kang Residence.
Grand Secretary Kang was a high-ranking official of the imperial court. Although he had retired, he had students all over the world. Many of them were in high positions.
Most of the people who came to congratulate him were officials of the imperial court. It was rare to see people from the martial arts world.
Everyone knew that Grand Secretary Kang hated people from the martial arts world. He felt that they violated the law with their martial arts and ignored the imperial court's laws. They were unscrupulous and should be punished severely. It would be best if they were all eliminated. Then, the world would be at peace.
Since he came to power, he suppressed many sects in the martial arts world. He even destroyed two sects. The disciples of these two sects were unfilial and committed crimes. However, the two sects blindly covered up for them. He eradicated the two sects with a thunderous method. It was a shocking case.
Before Chu Li came, he already knew about Grand Secretary Kang. He was considered a good person in the imperial court. He was gentle and gentle. When he faced people from the martial arts world, he immediately changed his attitude. However, his essays and poems were well-known and he was greatly supported by the scholars.
The leader of the literary world, the public enemy of the martial arts world.
The doorman led the four into the front courtyard of the Grand Secretary Residence. Siao Shi and Siao Qi were led to the main hall while Chu Li and Guo Mulin were led to the side hall. Both of them did not have the qualifications to see Grand Secretary Kang.
The side hall was also very lively. There were many advisors and Protectors with sharp eyes. The two of them did not attract any attention when they came in.
Chu Li and Guo Mulin sat in the armchair. The two of them discussed medical skills along the way. Chu Li asked for advice on the problems he encountered in the medical books. Guo Mulin patiently explained from the simple to the profound. Chu Li learned a lot. He was considered to have completely entered the door of medical skills.
He had a photographic memory. He memorized classic ancient prescriptions and medicinal herbs. He was very familiar with them. This made Guo Mulin envious. He also placed great hope in Chu Li. He felt that Chu Li was a genius doctor. With a little training, he could run amok in the Apricot Forest.
They talked for a while and were led out again. They passed through a few Moon Gates and arrived at a quiet courtyard. There was a green bamboo forest in the courtyard. Siao Qi and Siao Shi were already sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard admiring the bamboos. There was a delicate maid beside them.
"Thanks to Second Eldest Sister, we will be staying here for the next two days." Siao Qi said, "Elder Guo and Chu Li will also be staying here."
Chu Li smiled. "This Grand Secretary Kang hates people from the martial arts world so much. How can he still hire a Grandmaster to protect him?"
Along the way, he used the Omniscient Mirror to observe the Kang Residence. He found two Grandmasters.
