Chu Li sent Suru to the entrance of the courtyard. When he returned, the dishes had been removed, leaving only two cold dishes to go with wine.
Xue was reheating the dishes.
He shook his head and smiled. This Xue was cold and arrogant, but her way of doing things was impeccable. He could only adapt to it.
After a while, Xue served the dishes again. The aroma filled his nostrils.
Chu Li put down the white jade cup and started eating.
As he ate, he thought about the Sentient Menace.
After Xue washed the dishes and returned to his side, Chu Li suddenly asked, "Xue, do you know Buddhism?"
"No." Xue shook her head.
"Then can you read?"
"Of course!"
"Can you read Buddhist scriptures?"
"… Should be okay?" Xue nodded, "Master, I don't believe in Buddhism!"
Since her father was assassinated, she stopped believing in Buddhism. Her mother was a Buddhist and worshipped Buddha at home, chanting and burning incense every day.
She did not look at it and was too lazy to care. If Buddha was so powerful, he would not let a good man like her father die a violent death. Karma and retribution were all nonsense!
Chu Li said, "Go get me a Diamond Scripture."
"… Yes." Although Xue was confused, she did not ask further.
In this world, martial arts were flourishing. Buddhism was flourishing too, suppressing Taoism. The martial arts of Green Deer Cliff were mysterious and unpredictable, and the Tempest Temple was even more famous.
Buddhism was flourishing and there were many believers. It was easy to get a Diamond Scripture. She left the courtyard and walked around the Jade Guardian Island before returning with a copy.
She came to the pagoda and held it with both hands.
Chu Li took it and glanced at it. He nodded. This was the most common Diamond Scripture. He passed it to Xue, "Take it and read it to me."
Xue looked at him, took the Diamond Scripture and began to read.
"As I heard …"
Chu Li listened quietly. She read fluently, not too fast or too slow. Her voice was crisp and pleasant. It was a pleasure to listen.
After she finished reading, Chu Li smiled, "Not bad!"
Xue looked at him, confused. She did not know what he was up to.
"Xue, when I cultivate later, you can read Buddhist scriptures."
"I won't disturb Master's cultivation?"
"Just recite it!"
Xue nodded lightly.
Chu Li smiled. "Go and prepare some spirit herbs to soothe your throat and brew them into tea. Otherwise, your throat won't be able to take it."
"Yes." Xue Ling stood up and left to look for some Spirit Herbs to soothe her throat.
Half an hour later, she returned with a small bag of spiritual herbs and boiled some tea. After a while, the tea was ready and the spiritual herbs were soaked in it. "Young Master, shall we begin?"
"Begin!" Chu Li said.
He got up and walked out of the gazebo. He went to the bottom of the stairs and started to practice the Sentient Menace. He walked through the seventy-two forms of the Sentient Menace while Xue chanted Buddhist scriptures beside him. Her voice was calm and calm, neither too fast nor too slow.
She had never read Buddhist scriptures before, but she had heard them from her mother. She could read them very well.
She wasn't in a hurry because it wasn't a matter of how many times she read it. She knew that once he started cultivating, he would spend half a day reading. Thus, there was no need to rush and she could read it slowly.
She read and memorized at the same time. She stared at the book until her eyes were tired. In order to reduce her fatigue, it was best to memorize it.
The Buddhist scriptures lingered and Chu Li's state of mind changed accordingly. It was as if he was in a Taoist temple. His heart became calm and in harmony with the Diamond Scripture. There was no human form, no self form, no immortal form. His spirit separated from his body and completely integrated into the meaning of the Diamond Scripture.
Without the concept of time, without the restraint of space, he was free and empty. Everything in the world had fallen off and disappeared. Only a little bit of spirituality remained. He subconsciously cultivated the Sentient Menace.
When he woke up, he saw that Xue Ling was quietly looking at him. She had already stopped chanting the Diamond Scripture.
"What's wrong?" Chu Li looked at her with a strange expression.
Xue Ling pointed at the sky. "Master, look at the sky."
Chu Li took a look and saw that the sun was setting in the west and twilight was rising. It was the time when the lanterns were first lit. He was distracted for a moment and a day had passed.
Xue Ling said, "Master, you have been cultivating. I didn't dare to disturb you."
Chu Li nodded. "You did the right thing!"
His body was full of energy. He did not feel tired at all. Instead, he became more vigorous. It was as if he could punch a hole in the sky. Today's cultivation progress was extremely fast. It was much better than a few days of cultivation in the past. It seemed that he had found the right method.
The Buddhist Dharma and martial arts were combined. The spirit and the body were separated. The spirit and the Buddhist Dharma were in harmony. The body cultivated the Sentient Menace. He did not know if the disciples of the Tempest Temple cultivated this way. However, it required a strong spirit, a deep understanding of the essence of the Buddhist Dharma, and a profound meditation. Few people could achieve this.
Xue Ling quickly said, "Master, let me heat up the dishes again!"
She quickly ran away and heated up the dishes in the kitchen. Her mind kept replaying the scene of him cultivating. It was very strange. It was as if his spirit had left his body and disappeared from the world, leaving only an empty shell.
Chu Li was extremely hungry. He ate all ten dishes like a tornado and drank a jar of wine. He then let out a long sigh.
"Master, do you want to continue tomorrow?" Xue Ling asked as she put down the jar.
"Continue at night. How's your throat?"
"No problem!" Xue Ling said.
The spirit medicine she brewed was very effective. It moisturized his throat. In addition, she had reserved her strength, so it was not strenuous.
Chu Li looked at her. Although he was angry, he did not hesitate to agree. This was not bad.
He felt the Glory's Will again. It was still weak now, so he could not use its spiritual energy. After the day after tomorrow, he would use the spiritual energy of the Glory's Will to cultivate the Sentient Menace and see how it worked.
After eating, Chu Li walked around for a while and continued to cultivate.
Xue Ling began to chant. She had already memorized it. Her voice was crisp and sweet, and it was neither fast nor slow.
Chu Li quickly entered a meditative state again. He was in harmony with the Diamond Scripture. Only a little spirituality directed his body to cultivate the Sentient Menace.
Xue Ling saw his eyes gradually become empty. She knew that he was daydreaming again. It was amazing that he could still cultivate under such circumstances.
She suddenly became interested in the Diamond Scripture. Before, he did not have the Diamond Scripture, but after chanting it, he did not do this. It was obviously because of the Diamond Scripture. Could it be that the Diamond Scripture really had an incredible power?
Thinking about this, she shook her head. Her mother had been chanting the Diamond Scripture for half her life, but she did not find any divine power. Even her personality did not change. She always liked to nag.
Although she felt that it did not matter whether she read it or not, Chu Li should not be able to hear it. She did not slack off and continued to chant.
The bright moon was like a wheel, emitting a soft silver light in the sky.
The lights in the pagoda were not lit, but the moonlight was enough to see clearly.
Under the moonlight, Chu Li's body faintly emitted a golden light. It was very strange, especially his palms. The golden light was even brighter, as if his hands were made of gold.
Chu Li cultivated until midnight. When he woke up, he asked Xue Ling to make another meal for supper. After cultivating for a while, it consumed a lot of spiritual energy. The cultivation of the Sentient Menace not only consumed inner energy, but also spiritual energy from the five grains.
Xue Ling made a table full of dishes. She rejected Chu Li's advice and did not sit down to eat.
Chu Li did not stand on ceremony and swept the dishes on the table.
Xue Ling looked up at the night sky. She got up and left the pagoda to practice the Eight Forms of Crescent Cryptic.
Chu Li looked for a while and shook his head. "Xue Ling, you are still not gentle enough."
Xue Ling stopped and looked at him helplessly.
She felt that she was soft enough, soft like a baby. She did not need to use any force, and the results of her cultivation were excellent. After practicing the Eight Forms of Crescent Crypt, her inner energy was surging, and her advancement was a few times faster.
Chu Li said, "Go read some scriptures, it will be beneficial."
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded.
Chu Li thought for a while and stood up. "Fine, I'll help you again."
He picked up the long sword hanging on the vermillion pillar in the pagoda, unsheathed it, put it down, and took the scabbard to Xue. "Start cultivating."
Xue Ling looked at the scabbard and started cultivating again.
"Bang!" Chu Li suddenly raised his hand, and the scabbard hit her slender waist, making a muffled sound.
Xue Ling moaned, and a strange heat flowed from her waist. Her body felt like it was soaked in hot water, and instantly relaxed. Her whole movement changed.
Chu Li said, "Remember this feeling!"
Xue Ling blushed. The feeling just now was too strange. She quickly pulled herself together and tried to grasp this feeling.
Chu Li shook his head. "Don't be too attentive, it's not a good habit of yours. You have to let nature take its course. If you become too attentive and nervous, you'll be finished!"
He said as he raised his hand again, and the scabbard hit her shoulder. Xue Ling's movement became gentle again, and another heat flowed into her body.
She felt it a little. Her movements were lazy, and she did not use any strength at all.
Chu Li hit her buttocks again, at the position of the tail.
She suddenly blushed, and tried her best to hold back her fart because a heat flowed through her body. She could not help but want to expel the foul air, but it was too indecent. She tried her best to hold it back, and her face turned red. She was shy and beautiful.
Chu Li smiled and did not say much. He kept the scabbard and returned to the pagoda. Then, he went into the house. "Take your time cultivating, I'm going to sleep!"
