Monk Hui Guang continued, "Are you going to the inner temple with me or will you stay here for now?"
Chu Li quickly replied, "I'll enter the inner temple after I'm done cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Technique."
There was no benefit in entering the inner temple if he only cultivated the Marrow Cleansing Technique. It was quiet here and no one would disturb him. It was the most suitable place to cultivate. He did not want to change places for now.
Monk Hui Guang nodded. "That's good too. Although the Marrow Cleansing Technique is simple, it's very important, especially for someone like you who joined the temple halfway. It's the most important thing. You can't neglect it just because it's simple."
Chu Li replied, "I understand."
Ordinary people would not understand the mysteries of the Marrow Cleansing Technique. However, his Omniscient Mirror could clearly see the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Technique. It truly had the wonders of changing one's marrow.
Others would not be able to see it so clearly. They might think that the Marrow Cleansing Technique only turned inner energy into a warm energy that would eventually disappear. It would be difficult for them to understand its key function.
Monk Hui Guang smiled when he saw his serious expression.
This was the advantage of having an upper root vessel. They would not miss out on seemingly ordinary but important things. They would take it seriously.
He fluttered out of Sky Heart Courtyard.
Monk Ding Kong quickly ran over. His chubby body was exceptionally agile. He approached Chu Li and asked, "How was it? How was it?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "From today onwards, I'm an inner disciple."
"Hehe …" Monk Ding Kong patted Chu Li's shoulder. "That's right! However, you can't shave yet. It'll take at least a year. This is the temple's rule. "
Chu Li replied, "There's no rush."
"Haha, this is a cause for celebration. Oh right, what about your wife?" Ding Kong's laughter stopped abruptly.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "She's going into the small cave to cultivate in isolation."
"The small cave …" Ding Kong showed a sympathetic expression. "The small cave … It'll take at least a hundred years for her to come out. You're disheartened, aren't you?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Ding Kong patted his shoulder and comforted him. "It's okay. You can cut your ties with the mortal world and cultivate diligently. When you become a top-notch master, you won't have to worry about not being able to find a woman."
Chu Li replied, "Looks like Senior Ding Kong wants women too."
"Sigh …" Ding Kong looked worried. "I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. I should've tasted the pleasures of the mortal world before becoming a monk."
Chu Li smiled.
It was best to cultivate after seeing through the world of mortals. If one could not see through it, it would indeed be difficult to progress with worries in the heart. However, if one did not experience it, they would not know what it was like. With a pure heart, one could also progress.
Ding Kong said, "Alright then, I won't disturb you anymore. Cultivate well!"
He waved his hand and left the Skyheart Courtyard.
Chu Li continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate. Cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Technique was like drinking fine wine, it was wonderful beyond words.
The next morning class, he chanted sutras, his body glowing brightly.
"Pa!" His mind went blank. Unknowingly, the morning class had already ended.
He spent the rest of his time cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Art.
Initially, he thought that he would be able to change his bone marrow to silver very quickly. However, he realized that it wasn't as easy as he thought. The change was slow, and according to his estimation, there was no hope of completing it within a year.
He tried to chant the Palm-Leaf Scripture while cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Art. He didn't expect the effect to be so miraculous, instantly increasing the efficiency of the Marrow Cleansing Art by several times. Originally, it would take a year, but now, it only took a month.
His spirits were lifted, and he cultivated even harder. Other than the morning and evening classes, he spent the rest of his time cultivating.
During the morning class, while he was chanting, his head was hit by the incense board again. His mind went blank, but after a while, he recovered and felt the warmth of the golden light.
"Pa!" His head was hit by the incense board again.
After his mind went blank, he regained consciousness after a while. Then, there was another crisp sound, and the incense board fell again.
Chu Li opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the old monk, Zhi Zhi.
After hitting his incense board, Monk Zhi Zhi took a step back to the side of the wooden fish, and the sound of the wooden fish continued.
Soon, the morning class ended. Chu Li followed Ding Kong out of the basilica in confusion. He cultivated the Marrow Cleansing Art while eating. After eating, he walked to the Skyheart Courtyard, and Ding Kong followed him to the Skyheart Courtyard.
Chu Li turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
Ding Kong quickly said, "Junior Brother Chu, you're going to use your divine power again."
Chu Li was stunned.
Monk Ding Kong looked at him from head to toe a few times and sighed. "You're really infuriating. Your aptitude is too good. Not only are you a genius in martial arts, you're also very good in Dharma cultivation."
Chu Li asked, "What happened just now?"
He was fully focused on the Buddhist scripture. That was the only way he could absorb the golden light. The Omniscient Mirror was useless, so he did not know what happened and why he was hit by the incense board so many times.
"Your body is constantly glowing," Ding Kong said. "Honorable Master Zhi Zhi restrained himself for a while after hitting you, he started glowing again, so he hit you a few times."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Ding Kong said, "This is the sign of divine power forming. Honorable Master Zhi Zhi only suppresses divine power, but he doesn't eliminate it. You look like you're about to form a divine power."
Chu Li smiled.
He had already cultivated God's Limbs, so it was reasonable to say that it was forming a divine power.
Ding Kong sighed. "In my opinion, with your aptitude, you should stop cultivating martial arts."
Just as Chu Li was about to speak, footsteps were heard again.
He turned his head and saw Monk Hui Guang slowly walking over with his monk's robe fluttering.
"Master." Chu Li bowed with pressed palms.
Monk Hui Guang bowed back.
Ding Kong bowed. "Master's Junior Hui Guang, I'll take my leave."
"Go." Monk Hui Guang nodded.
Ding Kong winked at Chu Li and left the Sky Heart Courtyard in a timid manner.
Chu Li invited Monk Hui Guang to sit at the stone table.
Monk Hui Guang took the teacup and took a sip. He put it down slowly and said gently, "Master's Junior Zhi Zhi found me."
"Is it about divine power?" Chu Li asked.
Monk Hui Guang nodded.
Chu Li said, "Master, I cultivated God's Limbs when I was in the lower realm."
"God's Limbs …" Monk Hui Guang smiled. "This time, it's not God's Limbs that you want."
Chu Li was surprised.
He thought his God's Limbs had manifested.
Monk Hui Guang said, "According to Master's Junior Zhi Zhi, you should be manifesting Heaven's Ear."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He was surprised.
Monk Hui Guang smiled. "Master's Junior Zhi Zhi Zhi also said that with your aptitude, it's a waste to cultivate martial arts in the inner temple. It's better to stay in the outer temple and cultivate the dharmic base. The divine power will far surpass martial arts."
Chu Li quickly shook his head.
Monk Hui Guang said, "I won't force you. You can choose whether to cultivate the dharmic base or martial arts."
Chu Li quickly said, "I still want to cultivate martial arts."
"You're here for martial arts, but the power of divine power is not something that martial arts can compare to." Monk Hui Guang sighed. "Heaven's Ear is fine, but God's Limbs is better than any Light-body Technique. Energy is better than any inner force heart technique."
Chu Li asked, "Energy?"
Monk Hui Guang said, "After Energy, you'll have endless power and vigor. No one will be able to defeat you. There are divine powers in the outer temple."
Chu Li remained silent.
Monk Hui Guang smiled. "Before you finish cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Technique, you can think about it."
