Chapter 341 Wind and Thunder (2/2)

As Shen Lian spoke calmly, Fang Yanying was surprised. She did not expect her Uncle-Master to know what she was thinking about. Moreover, what Shen Lian said at the end inspired deeper thoughts.

Fang Yanying pondered upon it for awhile, and she handed over the sword talisman. With a determined gaze, she spoke to Shen Lian, ”Uncle-Master, you are trying to test my heart of Dao by leaving the sword talisman with me. However, I am learning the Shapeless Sword Incantation. Since it is shapeless, what is the point to leave something that has the same shape with me. I may not be aware of the future, but I know that if I were to keep it, it would leave a mark on my heart. Hence, I beg for your permission to return this.”

After thinking about it, she decided to return it.

The reason why Shen Lian told her to keep the sword talisman was to teach her the principle, ”Do not be stagnated by material”. However, after dissecting her thoughts, Fang Yanying knew that she was not someone who was born with Dao nature. Each step she took must be grounded. Her Honored Master told her to focus on cultivating the Shapeless Sword Incantations without being distracted, and she had been following his instructions.

Hence, she decided to cultivate accordingly. She knew where she stood, and she did not bother to be ambitious.

Shen Lian took over the sword talisman. He looked at her in awe and replied, ”I have underestimated you. You are Senior Apprentice-Brother Chen's stallion, and the Temple of Killings will be made prosperous by you.”

Fang Yanying did not have great potential for cultivation, and she did not have a natural heart of Dao. On top of that, she also lacked great spiritual sense. However, underneath her unremarkable appearance, she had an assertive heart.

Chen Jianmei was able to identify someone as such and had passed on his techniques to her. In time, she would definitely shine.

It might take ten over years, or even a few hundred years, but as long as she managed to survive, she had a bright future waiting ahead.

Fang Yanying was surprised. She did not understand why did the Uncle-Master think of her so highly.

She was aware of the extent of her own capabilities. Even amongst the group of disciples in the Temple of Killings, her speed of cultivation was not the fastest. She was only the most experienced out of them because of her hard work and the good foundation she had laid down since young.

When compared to the Uncle-Master and the Honored master, she was as insignificant as a flicker of light.

Shen Lian noticed her expression, but he did not elaborate further. He spoke, ”I am going to leave now. Though the mustard in the mountains looks fresh and I feel like having it. I will be back later, and it will be great if you can prepare some of them for me.”

Fang Yanying was surprised. She did not expect the Uncle-Master to have an appetite today. Her culinary skills were not remarkable. However, since it was an instruction from the Uncle-Master, she had no choice but to obey. There was a cold spring in the mountain. It was full of Qi of vitality and was surrounded by wild mustard. It had a great taste and was full of soulful aura. As a food source, it could help with cultivation. Hence, she would pluck them occasionally.

As she was going through her thoughts, she raised her head. A pair of purple and green wings appeared on Shen Lian's back. With a gentle flap, he created wind and thunder. He disappeared the next second.

The only thing she could think of was, how could there be such speedy shifting method in the world.

As she was following Shen Lian the last time, she did not realize how fast the Raging Storm Shifting Method was. It was only now that she realized that the Raging Storm Shifting Method was beyond her imagination.

Nanhai, Zizai Temple.

Zizai Temple was located at Nanhai, and its location was not common knowledge. Even if one was privy to its location, it would not be easy to get there.

Occasionally, some fishermen would notice the purple Qi shrouding the island in which Zizai Temple was situated. The sound of Buddhist chants could be heard. However, as they got closer, they found themselves being further away from the island.

Sooner or later, the fishermen realized the magical aspects of the island and stopped trying to go near it.

Because of the purple Qi and the Buddhist chants, some called it ”Ziyin Island”.

As the thunder roared, someone entered the island.
