The fat monk stood at the side and stared at Chu Li with wide eyes.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that someone would be able to become Martial Uncle Huiguang's disciple with a string of Buddhist prayer beads. Others might not know how powerful Martial Uncle Huiguang was, but as a disciple of the Great Mercy Temple, he was well aware of it.
Although he was an outer temple disciple, it was not that the outer temple and the inner temple did not interact with each other. In fact, they were very close. The affairs of the inner temple disciples were mostly handled by the outer temple disciples. If the outer temple disciples had any problems, they would usually ask for help from the inner temple disciples.
The inner temple and the outer temple merged into one and they were all disciples of the Great Mercy Temple.
Even when the outer temple disciples traveled around the world, they could do whatever they wanted because they were disciples of the Great Mercy Temple. Outsiders dared not offend them.
He wanted to become an inner temple disciple but unfortunately, due to his limited aptitude, his future in martial arts was limited. Therefore, he could only give up and cultivate the dharmic base. When the dharmic base was cultivated to the extreme, divine power would be born and it would be better than martial arts.
When he saw Chu Li easily become Master Hui Guang's disciple, he was extremely envious.
Master Hui Guang was an outstanding disciple of the Hui generation. Unfortunately, because he rarely left the temple, he did not make a name for himself and was unknown. This was also because Master Chu Li's dharmic base was profound and he did not seek fame in the world.
There were many unknown monks like Master Hui Guang in the inner temple. Therefore, the Great Mercy Temple was unfathomable and feared by outsiders.
Chu Li could become Master Hui Guang's disciple. Although he was just a disciple, it was still a great opportunity that made people envious.
Master Hui Guang turned to look at the fat monk and smiled. "Ding Kong, arrange a monastery for Chu Li."
"Yes, Master Hui Guang." The fat Ding Kong Monk pressed his palms together. "Can Junior Brother Chu Li have the Sky Will Courtyard at the west of the temple?"
"Yes, very good." Master Hui Guang nodded. "Chu Li will be my disciple from now on. Help him if he needs anything and take care of him!"
"Yes, yes." Ding Kong Monk smiled at Chu Li and nodded. "Master Hui Guang, don't worry. Leave it to me. I'll make sure Junior Brother Chu Li is comfortable and can cultivate in peace."
"That's good." Master Hui Guang nodded and smiled. "That's it then. I'll come again tomorrow."
He nodded at Chu Li, turned around, and glided away.
Chu Li pressed his palms together and watched him leave.
Looking at his steady footsteps, it seemed that he did not know martial arts. If not for the fact that he could sense people, he would have been fooled.
When Monk Hui Guang's figure disappeared, Monk Ding Kong turned around and chuckled. "Junior Brother Chu, congratulations!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Brother Ding Kong."
Ding Kong chuckled and said, "It's a pity. If he had directly accepted the precepts, he would have become Senior Brother Huiguang's personal disciple. That would have been incredible. Senior Brother Huiguang's three disciples are all powerful experts."
Chu Li smiled. "There's no hurry."
"I missed such a great opportunity. What a pity." Monk Ding Kong was extremely anxious for Chu Li. "Let's go. Let's go to the Skyline Courtyard. It's much more spacious there. We can cultivate there."
He strode out of the temple and walked forward along the quiet path. After a few twists and turns, he finally arrived at a temple on the westernmost side of the mountain peak.
The temple was spacious. At a glance, Chu Li estimated that it was more than three hundred square meters. There was a circular martial arts field in the middle of the courtyard. It was surrounded by flowering shrubs. Fresh flowers bloomed and a delicate fragrance lingered in the air.
The courtyard was clean and tidy. Chu Li walked into three rooms. The main hall was in the center with simple decorations. One of the rooms was a study room while the other was a bedroom. The furniture was simple but it gave off a refreshing smell. It was obvious that the furniture was made of high-quality wood.
"No one has lived here before." Monk Ding Kong smiled. "It's a newly built courtyard. Junior Brother Chu, you've come at the right time. It just so happens that it belongs to you. Are you satisfied?"
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction.
The environment was quiet and spacious. It was suitable for cultivating martial arts alone.
"You can rest assured that no one will disturb you here. I'll personally find an obedient acolyte to deliver your meals and clean the place for you." Monk Ding Kong smiled. "Although there's a difference between being a monk and a monk, there's one good thing about it. You don't have to attend morning and evening classes."
Chu Li smiled. "Are morning and evening classes troublesome?"
Monk Ding Kong shook his head. He looked like he was having a headache.
Chu Li knew at first glance that Monk Ding Kong's stubbornness and bad habits were still there. He still had a long way to go before he could become an eminent monk. However, he had a lively personality. Although he looked chubby and honest, he was also a little cunning.
"Let's go. I'll bring you out to have a look at the Great Mercy Temple." Monk Ding Kong smiled. "Not everyone can enter the inner temple of the Great Mercy Temple."
Chu Li smiled. "We can enter the inner temple?"
"Outsiders can't enter but we can." Monk Ding Kong said. "It's in the mountains over there."
He pointed to the east.
Chu Li nodded.
He was also very curious about the inner temple of the Great Mercy Temple.
The outer temple did not have any decorations or formations. Moreover, the monks in the temple did not have a high cultivation level. They looked like ordinary people. He only felt a strange fluctuation from a few monks.
Based on his senses, these monks were hiding their strength. They looked no different from ordinary people and did not cultivate martial arts. In fact, they had a high cultivation level.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he could see the outer temple of the Great Mercy Temple clearly. The basilica, the monastery, and the cottages. The basilica was bigger and there were more monasteries. Other than the quiet environment and the lingering fragrance, it was no different from other Buddhist temples.
He could also see the inner temple of the Great Mercy Temple in his mind but it was blocked by an invisible force. He could not see the situation inside the temple. Through the Omniscient Mirror, he could only see a giant Buddha shining with golden light sitting cross-legged in the void. The golden light was so dazzling that he could not look at it directly.
He put away the Omniscient Mirror and looked at the outside instead of the inside. What he saw was different. It was just a temple that looked old and it was only half the size of the outer temple. From the outside, the monastery looked much older than the outer temple.
If he looked further inside, it would be blocked by the golden light.
He could feel a huge power. The golden light was like the scorching sun. It was so bright that it hurt his eyes.
He became more curious. He would not miss the chance to go in and take a look.
Ding Kong Monk looked chubby, but his Light-body Technique was extraordinary. His inner energy cultivation level was low, but it did not hinder his speed. It was obvious that he was talented in Light-body Technique. He was like a galloping horse.
The two of them left the outer temple and traveled a hundred miles along the mountain range. They arrived at a temple halfway up the mountain.
"This is the inner temple." Ding Kong Monk proudly pointed at the temple. "It's filled with martial arts masters!"
Chu Li smiled. "They're all martial arts masters?"
"Of course!" Ding Kong Monk said proudly. "Once you enter the inner temple, you'll become one even if you're not a martial arts master. Junior Brother Chu, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to defeat them!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
Ding Kong Monk took a deep breath and puffed out his chest. He coughed softly and walked forward to the front of the temple's stairs.
The temple's door was half-closed. He went forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, a young novice monk opened the door. When he saw it was him, he smiled. "Senior Brother Ding Kong."
