Chapter 242 – Subdue Dragon Subdues A Dragon! (2/2)
Li Muyang felt much more comfortable, the feeling of burning also slowly disappeared.
An hour later, Kong Li closed his palm, looked at Li Muyang and said: “What I just fed you is the Buddhism Scarlet Fire Bodhi pill. This pill is a variety of the Scarlet Fire Bodhi, which flowers only every 300 years and bears only a few fruit every 300 years, and each time only a few fruits. After this fruit is picked, it is refined into a pill with fire for nine thousand nine hundred and eighty one days. It can disperse cold poison within the body and treat chronic illness. It can invigorate qi and lengthen one's life; there are endless remarkable uses. With your cultivation level, it is difficult for you to directly enjoy this pill, so I helped you break up and dispersed the pill. When you practice, the essential qi will slowly merge into your body and eventually absorb, filling the sea.”
“Thank you, Master Kong.” Li Muyang cried gratefully. “Master Xiahou helped me build my foundation, Master Kong help me replenish qi, you two are like my second parents.”
“Who is your second parent?” Kong Li snapped. “Tell me clearly, Xiahou Qianbai and I, who is the father and who is the mother?”
“——”
“You should try now, see if there are any changes in your valley.” Kong Li said.
Li Muyang sat cross-legged and quietly without looking sideways, entering into the internal visual state.
The valley was still a vast expanse of blue water, but the edges of the sea darkened a little, like little blue paint had been poured into it.
However, to fill the whole sea with qi——just how many scarlet fire bodhi pill would be enough?
Li Muyang composed his thoughts, describing the changes of the valley to Kong Li, and Kong Li softly sighed: “If an ordinary cultivator devoured the rare scarlet fire-Bodhi pill only seen once in a thousand years, they would directly advance from the Empty Valley to the High Mountain Realm——If not, there would at least be great improvement in the state of their body. This would still be pretty good. But in your stomach, it is only a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. There is almost no effect.”
“Master, I can eat a few more——” Li Muyang looked at Kong Li with an honest face. “I'm not afraid of scalding, even more unafraid of suffering.”
“I'm afraid of heartache.” Kong Li said coldly. “I had to beg for just one, but I gave it to you, are you addicted now?”
Li Muyang smiled a simple and honest smile, when he said: “Master is disappointed in me?”
“Constant dripping water wears the stone, the path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous, you will slowly understand.” Kong Li stated aloud. “Only when you rely on your own diligence and insights to comprehend something, will it be truly useful. The masters who depended on pills and medicines and teachers to guide them to accelerate cultivation, in the end would not progress further as those who figure things out themselves and diligently practice——”
“Yes. Disciple understands.” Li Muyang bowed.
Kong Li gave a dismissive wave. “Go back. I don't have anything else to give you here.”
“I'll pour another cup of tea for master.”
“Don't. I don't deserve to drink it.”
“——”
After he had made sure that he closed the courtyard door and the door of his room, Li Muyang fumbled in his pocket and pulled out the 'Subdue dragon and tame tiger mantra' to carefully study, but couldn't resist laughing out loud.
Worried that his laughter would be overhead, he hurriedly pounced onto the bed and buried his head in the blankets.
Dragons are naturally greedy, and liked to collect all kinds of treasures.
Especially s.h.i.+ny gold coins.
Every gift was enough to make Li Muyang happy for a long time.
Of course, not only Li Muyang, if the other students of Starry Sky received 'Authentic Scripture of Pervading Mystery' or 'Subdue dragon and tame tiger mantra', such sacred scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism, they would also be ecstatic.
There are many sons and daughter of wealthy and n.o.ble families in Starry Sky and also quite a few Princes and Princess, but not everyone had such good luck as Li Muyang to receive such care, kindness and generosity from Xiahou Qianbai and Kong Li——
Kong Li is a strong person of Buddhism and Xiahou Qianbai is a skilled master of Taoism, they are the representative of Buddhism and Taoism of Starry Sky. Even in the outside world they are well-known figures, but Li Muyang received guidance from the two of them at the same time, his future was obviously boundless——if he really could really cultivate both Taoism and Buddhsim.
Li Muyang sprang from under the pillow, flipped open the 'Subdue dragon and tame tiger mantra', wanting to know exactly what kind of content was inside
He was glad that he could read the strange Sanskrit.
This was thanks to the wealth of knowledge in the sea of memory that the old dragon left him.
So, Li Muyang cleared his throat and according to the Sanskrit p.r.o.nunciation began to read.
Li Muyang only read the first sentence, when he felt a little dizzy.
As if he was exhausted and a little drowsy.
He shook his head and tried to read the second sentence.
Waves of golden halo lingered around the top of his head, Li Muyang's upper and lower eyelids constantly fought. Opened and closed, closed and opened again.
When he attempted to read the third sentence, he found that the text on the scripture was blurred.
Everything grew darker as he slipped into unconsciousness.
