Chu Li climbed up the nine bluestone steps and stepped into the temple.
The temple was filled with the vicissitudes of life, like an old man past his prime.
Chu Li could already see the woman in the temple in his mind. She wore a dark blue robe and held a white jade horsetail whisk. Her face was fair and smooth. She was an absolute beauty and was about the same age as Xiao Qi.
The two of them looked alike and had a unique temperament that was cold and solemn.
There was only one beauty in the temple and no one else. That was Xiao Qi's aunt, Xiao Yueling.
He was secretly amazed. He thought she was an old woman and did not expect her to be such a young beauty.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe and found out that Xiao Yueling was a Grandmaster at such a young age. Her aura was like the mountains and the sea, far superior to Xiao Qi's four Grandmaster Protectors.
She sat diagonally in front of an antique tea table in the main hall. Her hips were straight and her breasts were proud as she quietly sipped her tea. She held a green jade teacup in her hand that was steaming.
There were three lifelike statues in the main hall. One of them was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament and the other two were beautiful middle-aged women. When they stood together, they looked like a celestial couple.
Xiao Yueling sat quietly and held her tea as if she was one with the three statues behind her.
"Creak." The main hall door opened and Chu Li and the others followed Ah Shu into the hall.
Ah Shu flicked her horsetail whisk and said, "Master, Sister Xiao and the others are here."
"Mm, come and sit." Xiao Yueling woke up from her deep thoughts and looked up at the three of them. Her clear eyes scanned Chu Li and gradually sharpened. It was as if she was cutting open his body with a knife and wanted to see his organs.
"Aunt!"
"Greetings, Madam."
Xiao Yueling waved her hand lightly but her eyes were still on Chu Li. "You're Chu Li, right?"
"I am Chu Li." Chu Li fist saluted.
"Come and sit. Have some tea," Xiao Yueling said.
Chu Li answered happily, "Yes."
The three of them came to the tea table and sat opposite each other. The faint scent of sandalwood wafted into Chu Li's nose. It was like the aura of her body that calmed one's heart and made it difficult to have any evil thoughts.
Three cups of tea had already been placed on the coffee table. Xiao Yueling seemed to have known that they would be coming over. She handed the cups to the three of them.
Chu Li received it with both hands and took a sip. Instantly, a refreshing fragrance entered his stomach and spread from his lower abdomen. The turbid air around him dissipated and his body felt light as a feather.
He was secretly shocked. It was actually spiritual tea that could improve one's physique and cleanse one's marrow.
He had only read about it in books and anecdotes. He had never thought that he would be able to taste this legendary spiritual tea with his own eyes. How generous!
Xiao Yueling lowered her eyelids. Her long eyelashes were like fans covering her watery eyes as she took a sip of her spiritual tea.
Xiao Qi and Suru also lowered their heads and focused on drinking their tea. They did not say a word, and the hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Ah Shu's big eyes kept rolling around, looking at this and that, and finally, she stared at Chu Li curiously.
Chu Li experienced the wonders of the Spirit Medicine. The turbid air was eliminated, and his inner energy flowed faster.
He knew the benefits of this kind of Spirit Medicine. The first drink was the best, and the effects would be the strongest. As time went by, the effects would slowly weaken. However, over time, it would change a person's physique and turn them into a martial arts genius.
Chu Li drank very quickly and finished the tea in the jasper teacup in no time at all. He put down the teacup and sat still as he quietly looked at Xiao Yueling. Xiao Yueling did not seem to mind his gaze and continued to focus on drinking her tea.
After a while, she finished her tea and looked up. "Xiao Qi, you're almost perfected!"
"Just a little bit more." Xiao Qi put down the jasper cup.
Xiao Yueling looked at her from head to toe and smiled gently. "How rare! The Andromeda's effects are really good … Sigh, you're just like your mother, stubborn! "
Xiao Qi smiled.
It was the first time Chu Li saw her smile. It was like the first glimmer of snow.
Xiao Yueling looked over. "Chu Li, are you cultivating the Sentient Menace?"
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Yueling's slender eyebrows twitched.
"Aunt, I'm a little worried," Xiao Qi said. "The martial arts of the Tempest Temple are cruel and vicious. It's inevitable that there will be traps!"
"Chu Li, let me have a look." Xiao Yueling said.
Chu Li activated the Sentient Menace and his skin glowed with a golden light. His entire temperament changed from gentle and calm to masculine and domineering. Even his gaze became sharper.
"Very good!" Xiao Yueling nodded and smiled. "It's been less than a month, right? It seems that your meditation is very good! "
The disciples of the Tempest Temple cultivated the Sentient Menace for years. If Chu Li was less than a month, the Tempest Temple would find out and snatch him back as a disciple.
Chu Li smiled. Without a good meditation, he would not be able to cultivate the Scripture of the Wisdom Root. After he mastered the Omniscient Mirror, his meditation became more profound and rare.
Xiao Yueling gently hit him with her palm.
Chu Li did not move and allowed Xiao Yueling's pale hand to hit his chest.
"Bang!" A dull sound was heard. Chu Li sat still.
Xiao Yueling retracted her hand and asked, "How did it feel?"
Chu Li thought for a moment and said, "It felt like I fell into the sea."
He inwardly shivered. This light palm was snow-white and sparkling like a piece of white jade. It was small and exquisite, but when it hit his body, it transmitted a turbulent inner force that was like a raging wave that wanted to knock him over.
"Bang!" Xiao Yueling hit him again.
Chu Li was sent flying. He took three steps in the air and landed on the ground. He sat in front of the coffee table again.
"What about this palm?"
"It felt like a strong gust of wind."
"Which part of your body did you feel?"
"Nothing special."
"It's okay." Xiao Yueling let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Xiao Qi. "Don't worry, I didn't go wrong."
"That's good." Xiao Qi nodded. "I told him not to but he insisted. The martial arts of the Tempest Temple are not easy to cultivate."
Xiao Yueling smiled. "The Sentient Menace is not bad. Unfortunately, it can only be cultivated by those with a deep understanding of Buddhism."
She looked at Chu Li. "How many levels do you have in their secret manual?"
"Thirty-six movements," Chu Li said. "Six levels."
"Actually, the Sentient Menace has a total of nine levels," Xiao Yueling said. "Rumor has it that if you cultivate it to the highest level, you'll become indestructible and become a Buddha. That's why it's also a supreme Dharma. Don't underestimate it. You can give it a try."
"Nine levels …" Chu Li seemed to have understood something.
After cultivating it for a while, he felt that it was lacking something. He felt unhappy whenever he cultivated it, but he could not figure out what it was. It turned out that he was missing three levels.
"You're in luck." Xiao Yueling smiled. "I have the entire Sentient Menace manual here. You can try cultivating it. If you feel restless and want to kill from time to time, then stop."
"Yes!" Chu Li gave a fist salute and said.
"You've had your tea. It's time to move around. Xiao Qi, let me see how much you've improved!" Xiao Yueling stood up and swung her white jade horsetail whisk. The soft strands hit the coffee table and the coffee table slid two feet away. It stopped at a corner of the basilica and cleared out an empty space.
"Clang …" Xiao Qi drew her sword and stabbed it.
Xiao Yueling swung her horsetail whisk as if she was controlling her own arm. The softness was pervasive and flexible like a snake.
Xiao Qi's sword flashed like snow. A gentle stab would produce a 'chi chi' sound. Her speed was as fast as lightning.
Chu Li sighed as he watched. Such a sword technique was truly amazing. If he were to fight her, he might not be able to win even with the help of the Omniscient Mirror. It seemed that he could not be satisfied with the Delusion Split. He needed to find another fast sword technique.
The horsetail whisk and the long sword intertwined. It was as if the sky was filled with the horsetail whisk's filaments. The sword flashed like an electric snake, swimming between the filaments. It became more and more difficult until it was finally entangled by the filaments.
The horsetail whisk twisted and dragged, and the long sword flew out of his hand.
Xiao Qi leaped into the air and caught it. She landed gently.
"Not bad, you've indeed improved!" Xiao Yueling nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "Come back next time when you've perfected your innate mastery!"
"Alright." Xiao Qi nodded and sheathed her sword.
Xiao Yueling waved her hand. "Go."
"Aunt, I'm leaving!" Xiao Qi gave a fist salute.
Ah Shu brought over a wooden box and passed it to Chu Li. Chu Li took it and gave Xiao Yueling a fist salute to thank her.
Xiao Yueling smiled. "Remember to use the Buddhist base as your foundation. If you have any questions, find the answers in the Buddhist scriptures."
"Yes."
Chu Li opened the wooden box and took out a yellowed silk book. It was made of a strange material. It was neither cloth nor paper. He touched it carefully and found that it was tough and fine.
He flipped through it, closed his eyes for a moment, and flipped through it again. Then, he put it back into the wooden box, closed the lid, and returned it to Ah Shu.
Ah Shu looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Yueling said, "Ah Shu, put it back. Have a safe journey. I won't be seeing you out!"
"Aunt, I'll be leaving now!" Xiao Qi bowed, turned around, and walked out of the temple.
The three of them left the temple. Twenty Protectors had already surrounded the temple. When they saw them, they retracted their formation and escorted Xiao Qi down the mountain.
Chu Li turned his head to look as he flew past the treetops. He could no longer see the temple.
Xiao Qi came and went in a hurry. She did not drag her feet. She took a look and left as if she was indifferent.
However, he knew that Xiao Qi had a deep relationship with Xiao Yueling. She was her spiritual pillar. She only needed to take a look to be at ease, and she could handle the affairs of the Public House without any distractions.
Chu Li's mind was surging with seventy-two formulas.
The first six levels had a total of thirty-six postures. The last three levels also had thirty-six postures. They were even more complicated and difficult to cultivate. He was curious. Could one become a Buddha with an indestructible body?
After descending the mountain, they found their horses. After half a day, they arrived at a forest. Su Ru whispered, "It's here!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Su Ru raised her voice. "Alright, everyone, let's take a break."
The Protectors felt strange, but they did not think much of it. They stopped their horses and began to scout the surroundings.
