Chapter 49: Resolving the Evil Incantation (1/2)
“I am not that sure actually. I had only been there for several days with my master. I only know that the Netherworld Sect and Blood Demon Sect are demon sects. This little girl’s curse is most likely from them. As for the Limitless Palace, Huashan Valley and Fahong Temple, they usually don’t appear in public. Only the other three sects like to do so in the cultivation world.”
“I see. Is it possible for monk to tell me how I could enter the cultivation world?” Although this world is getting more complicated, Cheng Yu actually felt even more excited. He always thought that he was the only cultivator in this world. It was to the extent that Cheng Yu actually felt very lonely about it. Now, he found out that he actually had so many “friends.” Although they may become his enemy, this caused Cheng Yu’s blood to start pumping furiously.
“Benefactor, I would like to advise you not to step into the cultivation world so easily. That’s a world of slaughtering. Strength is what matters there. Although Benefactor has already achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm, in this secular world, you would have no rivals. However, in the cultivation world, such strength is actually very common. I ask Benefactor to think twice!”
“Thanks for the advice monk. However, I must make a trip down to the cultivation world. I need to look for spirit stones,” Cheng Yu said firmly.
“At such a young age, Benefactor already achieved such cultivation level, why would you do something that would threaten your current situation? The future is unmeasurable, is it worth it to sever your own future because of your impulsiveness?”
“Monk, cultivation is all about going against the heaven’s will. If it’s just a desire to survive and to take things as they are, and not daring to take risks, how are the cultivators supposed to improve themselves? Wouldn’t it cause them to lose their way and cause a stagnation in their cultivation?”
“Amitabha. I guess Benefactor is right. This should be the reason why I was stuck in this cultivation stage after so many years and wasn’t able to improve. After I heard Benefactor’s words, I have definitely benefited from the advice.”
“Monk is being too serious.”
“Since it’s like that, I shall no longer stop Benefactor. The entrance is at Mount Shu and Kunlun Mountain in the secular world. The entrance is being shrouded by illusion, but with benefactor ability, it’s not a problem to see pass the illusion.
“Thank you for the information,” Cheng Yu held his hands together as he said sincerely.
“Although I do not know how many spirit stones Benefactor needs, I still have some. I hope it will be able to assist Benefactor in some way.” The Senior Master took out a spirit stone from his pocket and passed it to Cheng Yu.
“Thank you monk. But I believe monk needs it more than me. Furthermore, I can find the spirit stones myself.” Cheng Yu pushed back the spirit stone to monk and took out two pill bottles. He extracted a Foundation Establishment Pill and said to the Senior Master, ”This is a Foundation Establishment Pill and also a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill. I hope monk will be able to get past the Qi Training bottleneck and reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“This…” The Senior Master was shocked. If someone else were to say that Cheng Yu’s pills were very mysterious, then the Senior Master would be astonished. When he was young, he had followed his master to the cultivation world. His master had told him a lot of information regarding cultivation. Naturally, he knew how precious this bottle of Qi Gathering Pills was. As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it could be said it was almost extinct in the cultivation world.
In the cultivation world, not everyone would be able to successfully cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm and enter the threshold of Immortality. In a big sect, a lot of their disciples were stuck at the Qi Training Realm and no one knew if they would they be able to get past the bottleneck and enter the Foundation Establishment Realm. Therefore, they were only able to become the outer disciples of the big sects. Only when they had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm would they be able to formally enter the sect and be able to enjoy more cultivating materials.
Although the Foundation Establishment Pill did not have a 100% success rate, if the person was not a waste of a talent, they would definitely be able to break the bottleneck and enter the Foundation Establishment Realm. Therefore, with a Foundation Establishment Pill, it could be said that it would be able to nurture an inner disciple of a large sect.
However, the cultivation world had gotten so huge that there’s no longer any more genuine pill masters. The pill refinement methods had already died out together with the existence of pill masters. Currently, there are some big sects that were still able to refine pills. But the pills they were able to refine were just the Soul Strengthening Pill. Those that had better skills would be able to refine the Reversal Pill. This was also why the big sects were very stingy with giving out the Foundation Establishment Pill. Only if the disciple was a god sent talent or had brought a big contribution for the sect, would it be possible for them to be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
That being the case, anyone would be able to tell how precious this Foundation Establishment Pill that was given to the monk was.
“Please take it back Benefactor. I think it would be better for Benefactor to not take out such precious pills so easily in the future, especially after Benefactor has entered the cultivation world.” Although these pills are very beneficial to the Senior Master right now, he did not desire them. This could be counted as achieving a firm and steady Buddhist heart.
“Thanks for the reminder monk. However, I would still ask the monk to accept these. In Buddhism, there’s a proverb ‘there is a cause and effect for everything.’ Monk has dispelled my doubts. This could be counted as the cause. When I gift the pills to monk, it will be the effect. This should be karma. If the monk does not accept them, wouldn’t it cause monk to mess up his benevolence as well as cause me to lose the chance of repaying my karma?”
“Amitabha. Benefactor has such good eloquence. Since it’s like that, I shall thank Benefactor and hope that when Benefactor enters the cultivation world, you will be more prudent in handling matters and get what you want,” The Senior Master took Cheng Yu pills as he chanted.
“Monk can be assured, I don’t plan to go in temporarily. Maybe, I would only do so after a period of time. I shall descend from the mountain then. I will visit you again someday in the future.” Cheng Yu carried Keke who was seated beside him and stood up.
“Please wait a moment Benefactor. Does Benefactor trust me? Please allow me to perform a protection, to help the little girl to dissolve her evil incantation,” The Senior Master stood up and said.
