Chu Li frowned. "Twenty-two Asuras escaped. How many have you caught up to now?"
"We've caught up to two." Fa Yuan sighed softly.
Chu Li frowned. "Two!"
Fa Yuan said helplessly, 'These Asuras escaped from the Suppression Formation. They're hard to deal with and hard to catch up to. Even if we do catch up to them, they can easily escape. The temple has scattered manpower, but … "
He shook his head as he spoke.
Chu Li frowned. "With your abilities, you shouldn't have only caught up to two, right?"
Fa Yuan replied, "It's like finding a needle in a haystack. It's not easy!"
"… Let me help you!" Chu Li scoffed. "I still have to clean up the mess left by the Tempest Temple. Seriously …"
Fa Yuan perked up. "I was just about to ask for Almsgiver Chu's help."
"You want to use the Secret Guardians Hall's information net?" Chu Li scoffed.
Fa Yuan nodded. "Although the Tempest Temple has its own information source, it's not as good as the Secret Guardians Hall. If the Secret Guardians Hall can help, I'll be eternally grateful!"
Chu Li scoffed. "The Tempest Temple must have a secret technique to find Asuras, right?"
Every time he defeated an Asura, someone from the Tempest Temple would come over. It was the same this time. Zhao Tianxing had finally defeated one, and Fa Xiang immediately came over with his men. It was such a coincidence.
He deduced that the Tempest Temple must have a secret technique to track down Asuras.
"… Yes." Fa Yuan nodded. "The temple does have a secret technique to track down Asuras, but it's difficult to cultivate. Only Senior Brother Fa Xiang, me, and Senior Brother Fa Yin have cultivated this technique. The others can only look around."
"Tell me about it." Chu Li grinned at him.
Fa Yuan hesitated for a moment before he pressed his palms together. "Alright, I'll pass this secret technique to you, Brother Chu."
Chu Li asked, "It doesn't violate the rules of the Tempest Temple?"
"It's fine." Fa Yuan smiled. "To cultivate this secret technique, one needs to be proficient in Buddhist doctrines. It's similar to a divine power. It will open the orifice of the nose and allow one to smell Asuras."
"Asuras have a smell?" Chu Li was surprised.
Fa Yuan said slowly, "Brother Chu, just think about it and you will understand. How many people have they killed? How can there not be the stench of blood? This isn't just a simple smell, it's the smell of sin. If Brother Chu can successfully cultivate this secret technique, then you'll definitely be able to smell it clearly. If you can't, then no matter how much I say, it'll be useless. "
Chu Li said, "Sure, I'd like to see it."
He wanted to capture Asuras for the Tempest Temple. Firstly, he could not bear to see innocent people die in the hands of Asuras. Secondly, he wanted to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation.
There was nothing more thrilling than fighting with an Asura or the disciples of the Holy Church of Light who were not afraid of death.
Fa Yuan said, "Teachings should not be passed on to others, I need to be enlightened and pass on my power."
"No problem," Chu Li agreed without hesitation, playing it down.
Fa Yuan looked at him.
Imparting power to him required him to place his palm on top of his head. If he had any strange thoughts, he would immediately take his life. How dangerous was that?
Chu Li smiled. "I believe that you won't kill me, Fa Yuan."
"Amitabha …" Fa Yuan pressed his palms together. He was touched. "Alright then, I'll pass it on to Brother Chu."
Chu Li sat by the stone table. Fa Yuan stood in front of him and slowly extended his left palm.
Chu Li had the Omniscient Mirror and the Nature Restoration Manifestation. If Fa Yuan had any intention to kill him, he would be able to sense it immediately. He could use his divine power to disappear in an instant. He was not worried that Fa Yuan would really threaten him.
Fa Yuan's feelings towards Chu Li were complicated. He admired his aptitude and wisdom, but at the same time, he was a little jealous. He suppressed this jealousy with righteousness. What he needed to do was not to be jealous of others, but to be himself and do better.
With this mentality, he could get along with Chu Li peacefully. They were always in a state of being friends yet enemies. Sometimes, they would become opponents, but they trusted each other.
Chu Li's mind was calm and his thoughts were smooth. It was as if he was in a meditative state. His heart was not moved, and everything around him was clearly reflected in his mind.
A passage of scripture flowed into his heart like a trickling stream. After a moment, it finished flowing and he pressed his palms together.
Fa Yuan let go of his hand and pressed his palms together.
Chu Li smiled. "What secret technique is this?"
"The All-Knowing Scripture," Fa Yuan said. "This scripture is not the most top-notch secret technique, but it has its own mysteries. Unfortunately, without a deep meditation technique, it is very difficult to cultivate. Brother Chu, you come from the Buddhist Sect, so your meditation technique is not bad. You might be able to cultivate it."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "After I cultivate it, I will help to capture Asuras."
"Thank you, Brother Chu." Fa Yuan pressed his palms together.
Chu Li waved his hand. "You guys are too slow. Are the disciples from the previous generation not going to help?"
Fa Yuan shook his head. "Master's and Master's Uncles are mostly in isolated cultivation. They don't care about worldly affairs."
Chu Li said, "The Tempest Temple is really interesting."
"They polish their mortal hearts in the world of mortals. After polishing their mortal hearts, they will be able to cultivate their dharmic base better. Once the Master's and Master's Uncles have a realization, their dharmic base will enter another level. They will come out to train and then go into isolated cultivation again. "
Chu Li nodded.
It seemed like he had misunderstood the Tempest Temple. The foundation of the Tempest Temple was still the dharmic base.
"Brother Chu, when cultivating the All-Knowing Scripture, the longer the better. It's best to find a place to go into isolated cultivation. If you can cultivate for ten days in one go, you will almost be able to cultivate it," Fa Yuan said. "Unfortunately, most people can't hold on."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Fa Yuan said, "Brother Chu, I can see that your soul is strong. It is the best quality to cultivate the All-Knowing Scripture."
"Understood." Chu Li nodded.
"Then, I will take my leave." Fa Yuan pressed his palms together.
Chu Li had been paying attention to the situation a mile away.
He saw that Fa Xiang and a middle-aged monk had brought four people with him. Fa Xiang and the other monk personally held Xiao Yueling back while the other eight monks snatched the Asuras and fluttered away.
Soon, Fa Xiang and the others left too. Xiao Yueling and Zhao Tianxing did not chase after them.
Chu Li smiled. "See you then."
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and fluttered past the treetops. His grey cowl fluttered in the wind as he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Chu Li appeared in front of Xiao Yueling, she glared at him.
Zhao Tianxing smiled. "Brother Chu, you left at the right time."
Chu Li said, "A monk from the Tempest Temple was holding me back. I couldn't help it."
"You're friends with that stupid monk from the Tempest Temple?" Xiao Yueling scoffed.
She was besieged by Fa Xiang and the other monks. Although she did not lose, she had to watch helplessly as the Asuras were taken away. She was frustrated and unhappy.
Chu Li said, "I'm friends with Fa Yuan. He told me some news that more than twenty Asuras have escaped this time. What's worse is that the Holy Church of Light is able to tame the Asuras, so they've already obtained twenty top-notch Asuras."
"The Holy Church of Light!" Xiao Yueling frowned. "Twenty Asuras?"
Chu Li nodded. "These twenty Asuras are the scourge of the Ji Dynasty. We must find them no matter what!"
"… I'll have to pass this news to the sect." Xiao Yueling frowned. "The destructive power of the Asuras is not to be underestimated. We must let the sect deal with them."
Zhao Tianxing said, "I didn't expect Brother Chu to be friends with Fa Yuan."
Chu Li smiled. "Brother Zhao and Fa Yuan know each other?"
