"Jian Xin went down the mountain to gain experience." Zhou Dunli said, "He needs to train his heart and strengthen his will to better perform the empowerment."
"Senior Brother, you've already done it?" Chu Li asked.
Zhou Dunli nodded. "Once. If you want to become an Enlightened Master, you'll need to do it again. However, you'll need a strong enough will or you won't be able to withstand it."
The most important thing about empowerment was one's will and state of mind. The process was extremely painful as if the body was about to split. Without a strong enough will, it would be difficult to withstand it. Once you give up, you'll die.
The state of mind often determined the digestion of the power from the empowerment. Without a strong enough state of mind, one's cultivation level would not be able to be maintained.
The reason why Fa Yuan and Sun Mingyue could suddenly increase their cultivation level through empowerment was because they cultivated the Buddhist Base. Through the Buddhist Base, they forged a strong enough state of mind, which allowed them to break through the barrier in one go.
Chu Li understood this. "Senior Brother, you've suffered."
"He's not bad." Zhou Dunli smiled.
Chu Li said, "Master, I don't understand. The golden dragon is a supreme spirit beast. It's said that there are no Great Enlightened Masters in the Outland. How can it threaten a supreme spirit beast?"
"The Great Enlightened Masters are comparable to supreme spirit beasts but there are also mystical items in the Outland that can restrain supreme spirit beasts. If a few people work together to activate that mystical item, they can restrain supreme spirit beasts." Zhou Dunli said, "Otherwise, supreme spirit beasts wouldn't have agreed to move into the Hundred-Thousand Hills."
"Then how did the Asuras hurt the golden dragon? Do they have mystical items too?" Chu Li frowned.
Zhou Dunli shook his head. "Eight Great Asuras worked together to cast a secret skill. They sacrificed four Great Asuras to severely injure the golden dragon. If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have been able to do anything to the golden dragon."
"Great Asuras?" Chu Li asked, "Are they similar to our Enlightened Masters?"
"Yes." Zhou Dunli said, "These Great Asuras are the real immortals."
"What about the four who sacrificed themselves?"
Zhou Dunli said, "They turned into Heart of Asura. They need to cultivate again. I'm not sure if they can still become Great Asuras."
Chu Li sighed. "It seems that supreme spirit beasts can't do anything to them?"
"It's enough to kill them once," Zhou Dunli said. "They'll need a few hundred years to recover their strength."
Chu Li nodded slowly. In his mind, he was trying to deduce the patterns on the Heart of Asura. He wanted to see if it was a formation or some kind of strange writing.
"Go ahead, they've been waiting anxiously." Zhou Dunli waved his hand.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and left the basilica. When he returned to Xiao Qi and the others, he naturally attracted a lot of questions. Xiao Qi could sense that he had been in danger and his life was in danger.
Chu Li did not hide much from them. He told them about how he went to the floating mountain to interrogate them about the Art of Eternal Agility and how he was surrounded by Celestials and almost lost his life.
In the end, he managed to escape with his life. Furthermore, he managed to force out the key to the Art of Ageless Longevity, which could extend his lifespan.
After he finished speaking, he bade farewell to the three women. He told them to stay at Immortal Attraction Mountain to avoid any danger. Right now, the world was in chaos, and celestials were everywhere. It was safer to stay at Immortal Attraction Mountain.
He abruptly returned to his own courtyard in the Public House.
Xue Ling was taking care of the spirit herbs and Glory's Will Tree in the courtyard. When she felt Chu Li approaching, she stood up. Her white robe was spotless. She gave a fist salute and said, "Master."
"Has the Public House been quiet lately?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Ling said softly, "There are no celestials in the territory."
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that his deterrence was still effective. The celestials did not dare to come to the Yi Public House.
He gave a few orders and found a few spirit herbs with long lifespan. The spirit herbs in the courtyard were rarely like this. They were usually in the Spirit Medicine Nursery of the Public House.
Xue Ling personally went to the Spirit Medicine Nursery and brought three Grass of Immortality.
The effect of the Grass of Immortality was average, but it was quite unique. It was a necessary ingredient for the Spirit Blessing Pill. If it was not harvested, it would continue to grow and grow into an Immortal Tree. It could grow from a small blade of grass to a towering tree.
Chu Li used the Art of Eternal Agility to harvest its essence and take its lifespan. The three Grass of Immortality quickly turned into ashes. He gently exhaled and they immediately floated away with the wind. They landed on the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Xue Ling stared at him curiously.
Chu Li smiled.
These three Grass of Immortality increased his lifespan by a hundred years. It was really miraculous. The Art of Eternal Agility was really scary.
He shook his head as he thought about it.
The more powerful the Art of Eternal Agility was, the more difficult it would be to kill Song Wuji.
"Master …?" Xue Ling saw him shaking his head and quickly asked, "Is it not possible?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "It's done! Xue Ling, think of a way to get some seeds of the Grass of Immortality. Plant about a hundred of them. "
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded and said, "Master, there is another group of Protectors in the Public House. A few of them are from other Public Houses."
"Hmm …?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
The two of them left the courtyard, left the island and floated onto the boat.
The boat slowly left the island and left the Public House. It then left the Public House and the main gate of the Public House. They arrived at a restaurant outside Chong Ming Town.
Along the way, there were people who fist saluted and greeted Chief Chu from time to time.
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled.
Xue Ling followed beside him. Her face was still cold but her heart was filled with pride.
Master did this to calm the hearts of the people. He needed to show his face in the town from time to time to suppress those who had ill intentions. According to his own temper, he could just kill these people.
However, Master was kind and kept these people alive.
Chu Li and Xue Ling sat in front of the window on the third floor. The innkeeper personally served them wine and a few dishes to go with the wine. His steps were light and his face was red.
Ever since Chu Li killed a Celestial in the town, his prestige had risen to another level. The people in the town regarded him as their protector. As a resident of Chong Ming Town, the recognition of the Public House was deep in their bones. If Chu Li was not the son-in-law of the Public House, there would still be some estrangement. Now, he completely regarded Chu Li as one of them and was deeply supported.
"Master, what are these people trying to do sneakily?" Xue Ling held the pot and filled Chu Li's silver cup. She frowned and said, "Could it be that they want to see if we can find out?"
"Which Public House?" Chu Li took a sip of the wine.
Xue Ling said, "All the other 11 Public Houses, including the Ren Public House."
As she said this, she glanced at Chu Li and quickly looked away.
She knew the inside story. Although Lu Yu Rong was Chu Li's wife, it was only in name. She was not really one of them.
Chu Li pondered and said, "Then don't care about them."
"Really?" Xue Ling was stunned.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
The twelve Public Houses must have felt that something was wrong and began to group up. He pondered and said, "Then send a few people to the other Public Houses and let them find out."
"… Yes." Xue Ling nodded lightly.
Chu Li sighed, "It's too chaotic outside now. You have to hurry up and cultivate. Don't be too distracted."
"Yes." Xue Ling smiled, "I cultivated very quickly on the island."
With the Glory's Will Tree, her cultivation progress was very fast. Other people cultivated like walking, but her cultivation was like riding a horse. Although it was not as fast as Chu Li's, it was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After Chu Li and Xue Ling finished their meal, they walked along the streets of Chong Ming Town and then returned to the Public House. Once they reached the Public House, they immediately disappeared and returned to Goddess Attraction Mountain.
On Goddess Attraction Mountain, Dong Jianxin was lying in the basilica. Coincidentally, Zhou Dunli was not there. Dong Jianxin did not have the strength to ring the bell. After taking the Spirit Blessing Pill, he was being treated by Xiao Qi and the other two ladies.
