PS: The first update tomorrow morning will be at 9. It's too early in the morning, and I'll be delayed if something happens. Let's try it out and see how it goes.
Chu Li went forward and smiled. "May I ask, Young Revered Sir, what are they doing?"
"Benefactor Chu, they are meditating. Don't worry." Xu An put away the sarira, pressed his palms together, and said seriously.
Chu Li smiled. "Why do I need to calm down?"
"When they saw Benefactor Xiao's face, their hearts were moved, and their hearts were in chaos." Xu An said, "Therefore, they must calm their hearts and be at ease."
"Then why don't you use it, Little Venerable?"
"The heart has always been moving. What's the point of being calm? It's better to just let it be," Xu An said.
Chu Li smiled. "Young Revered Sir, there's a deeper meaning behind your words."
"Master doesn't like to hear this," Xu An shook his head and said with a vexed expression.
Chu Li said, "Once Young Revered Sir cultivates the divine power, your Master won't bother too much."
"I can't cultivate," Xu An said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
"Master said that my body is congenitally deficient, so I can't cultivate. If I cultivate, I'll only die faster," Xu An said.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
His face was indeed sickly and his body looked very weak.
"I know a little about medicine. What do you think?" Chu Li extended his hand.
Xu An handed over his wrist.
Chu Li could not rely on the Omniscient Mirror, so he could only circulate his inner energy around his body bit by bit. He remained silent.
It was true that his meridians were weak and dispirited, a sign of a congenital deficiency, but …
After that, he denied that Xu An's pulse was very similar to Siao Shi's, but he believed that it would not be such a coincidence.
Xu An said, "Master said that this body has to be nurtured slowly. There's nothing we can do about it. Divine arts aren't omnipotent."
"I can't cultivate the Ten Lifetimes of Dharma?" Chu Li asked.
Xu An said, "If I want to cultivate the Ten Lifetimes of Buddhahood, I must first cultivate a type of divine art. I can't cultivate it now."
"… I have an idea." Chu Li saw that he had an outstanding temperament and was born with wisdom. He was indeed a good seedling. The thought of hoarding a rare commodity came up again. "But I can only use it outside the temple."
"You can cure my body?" Xu An tilted his head and looked at him.
Chu Li replied, "Sure."
"Then I'll have to ask Master," said Xu An.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Xu An pressed his palms together, stood up, and ran off.
After a while, an old monk strode over. He was tall and burly, slightly stooped, with a lion's nose and tiger's eyes. His eyes were sharp and threatening, making him look more like a martial arts hero. He did not seem like an eminent monk.
"Old monk Kong Fa greets Almsgiver Chu." The old monk put his palms together and bowed.
Chu Li pressed his palms together. "Revered Sir Kong Fa, I have a skill called the Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique. It can cure Young Revered Sir Xu An's congenital deficiency."
"Amitabha …" Kong Fa put his palms together and laughed joyfully. "The opportunity has indeed come. Heaven has not forsaken Xu An. Thank you, Almsgiver Chu."
Chu Li said, "I'm going to perform it outside the temple. I wonder if Revered Sir Kong Fa is at ease?"
"Can this old monk accompany you?"
"Of course."
"Then it's fine. When can it be treated?"
"There are enough needles. I can do it now. "Chu Li told him about the needles he needed.
Monk Kong Fa stood up and strode away.
Chu Li looked at his bearing and looked at Xu An. Like master, like disciple. Kong Fa acted according to his nature. Xu An was a little similar to Kong Fa.
After a while, Kong Fa passed a box of needles to Chu Li.
Chu Li took it and glanced at it. "Alright, let's leave the temple."
The three of them pushed open the courtyard door and went outside the temple. Chu Li found a forest that was sheltered from the wind. He was going to perform the Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique on Xu An.
After leaving the golden light of the pagoda, Chu Li asked Xu An to pass the sarira to Kong Fa.
The Omniscient Mirror was activated to see every part of Xu An's body. His face immediately darkened.
He did not think that there would be such a coincidence in this world!
He frowned and looked at Kong Fa.
Kong Fa noticed that Chu Li's expression was a little strange. "Almsgiver Chu?"
Chu Li said, "Does Great Master Kong Fa know about Young Revered Sir Xu An's condition?"
"Congenital weakness." Kong Fa said, "His vitality must have been damaged in his mother's womb."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "It's the Vitality Sealing Finger."
When he saw the Vitality Sealing Finger, he thought of the suffering Siao Shi had suffered. The person who did it was extremely vicious. Last time it was King An. Who would it be this time?!
How could such a vicious technique be passed down? It could be seen how evil people could be!
Kong Fa was at a loss.
Chu Li then explained the origin of the Vitality Sealing Finger.
"It's such a vicious technique!" Kong Fa was furious. "What a scoundrel. There's actually such a vicious person in this world. I can't wait to die under his palm!"
Chu Li said, "It seems that Young Revered Sir Xu An has an extraordinary background. A normal family's child would not be qualified to receive the Vitality Sealing Finger!"
Kong Fa sighed and shook his head. "Xu An is indeed the son of a nobleman. However, since he has entered the Titanium Temple, he has left home. Everything in the mortal world is like an old dream. Let it all go. There's no need to care about it."
Chu Li saw that he had no intention of revealing anything. Because of the sarira, he could not see through Kong Fa's thoughts. Chu Li said, "If that's the case, then let's perform the technique."
—
Chu Li, Kong Fa, and Xu An stayed outside for a night.
The next morning, Chu Li removed the needles. Xu An's sickly complexion had mostly faded. He looked much more relaxed.
Xu An waved his arms excitedly. "Almsgiver Chu, I'm fine now?"
Chu Li smiled. "There's still one more step. Remove the Vitality Sealing Finger."
He looked at Kong Fa. "Revered Sir, removing the Vitality Sealing Finger is extremely dangerous. There's a slim chance of survival."
"Just remove it!" Kong Fa said lightly.
"Alright!" Chu Li fiercely hit Xu An's Baihui acupoint.
Xu An froze. A thick inner energy went straight down like a mountain torrent. It instantly broke through all the obstacles around him.
"Pfft pfft! Pfft pfft pfft pfft! … "Xu An farted and was instantly refreshed.
Chu Li let go of his hand and let out a long sigh. "It's done!"
Kong Fa felt Xu An's wrist and grinned. "Good! Good! It's a great opportunity indeed. Xu An, hurry and kowtow to Almsgiver Chu! "
Chu Li quickly waved his hand and smiled. "There's no need for that. It's nothing!"
"It's nothing for you. For Xu An, it's ten lifetimes of fate!" Kong Fa chuckled. "The grace of giving him a new lease of life should be properly thanked … How about this, I'll teach you another divine power!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Revered Sir, your temple's divine power is …"
Kong Fa said, "Techniques are not easily taught but you've saved Xu An. How can I not repay your kindness?"
Chu Li thought about it. "Then I won't decline. What divine power does Revered Sir want to teach me?"
"How about God's Limbs?"
"I couldn't ask for more!"
"Alright then, we'll teach it when we return to the temple. No one in the temple can spy on us. It's hard to say outside," Kong Fa said.
Chu Li glanced around.
The three of them returned to the temple. A few novice monks were practicing their fist techniques. When they saw them return, two of them ran away and quickly brought back two old monks.
Kong Fa laughed out loud. "Brother Kong Zhi, Brother Kong Hui, Almsgiver Chu has cured Xu An!"
The two old monks looked at Xu An, then touched his wrist and looked at Chu Li in admiration.
"I want to teach Almsgiver Chu Li God's Limbs."
"… Kong Fa, it's better to teach something else. Even if you teach him divine power, he won't be able to cultivate it." Old monk Kong Zhi shook his head.
"Not necessarily." Kong Fa smiled. "I see that Almsgiver Chu is extraordinarily intelligent. He might be able to cultivate it. Not now, but maybe one day in the future!"
"Forget it, up to you." The two old monks shook their heads and left.
Kong Fa brought Chu Li to his room — the second room on the right and taught him a scripture.
When Chu Li returned to the room, Siao Shi was sitting at the table reading a book.
She glanced at him and scoffed. Her face was tense as she continued reading.
Chu Li smiled as he told her what happened.
Siao Shi's face darkened. "Vitality Sealing Finger? It can't be that Prince An again, right? "
"How could there be such a coincidence." Chu Li shook his head.
Siao Shi scoffed. "The little monk's luck is really good."
There were only a few people in the world who could break the Vitality Sealing Finger. Chu Li was one of them, but he was met by the little monk.
"Yes, luck is also very important in cultivation." Chu Li said. "Young Revered Sir Xu An will become a great person in the future, just like Lady Siao Shi. One who survives a disaster is bound to have good fortune later on.
