Chapter 132: Chapter 99: Celestial Purity Daoist Temple, Wild Buddha Sect

Shen Bai turned around and saw the Bloodstained Handkerchief being tossed toward him.

He caught it instinctively and raised an eyebrow. "Master Kuyun, what is the meaning of this?"

Elder Kuyun smiled. "Consider it a welcoming gift from Xuanxin Temple. Lord Shen, you are an honored guest, and we have no fondness for such a foul Deceitful Object. We’d rather you have it."

Shen Bai said, "Xuanxin Temple truly thinks highly of me."

Elder Kuyun pressed his palms together. "Lord Shen is no small fish in a pond. We are simply hoping to foster a good relationship."

Shen Bai didn’t waste any words. A Deceitful Object was, after all, very important to him.

He put the Deceitful Object away and said, "The Wild Buddha Sect can’t be this inept. After all, those two were far too weak."

’If those two were really after the Buddha’s Six Wheels,’ he thought, ’there’s no way they would be this weak.’

He was more inclined to believe this was a probe to test the waters.

Elder Kuyun said, "To be honest, we were also trying to see if the Wild Buddha Sect would show up. Now that we know they have, we can prepare our countermeasures."

Shen Bai understood. It turned out both sides were just testing the waters.

The Wild Buddha Sect was testing whether the Buddha’s Six Wheels were truly here, while Xuanxin Temple was testing whether the Wild Buddha Sect had arrived at all.

"Thank you. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word."

Shen Bai turned and prepared to leave the courtyard.

Now that things were clear, Shen Bai prepared to go back and grind his Blood Sword Dance Skill Level.

He had wasted some time tonight and intended to make up for it.

"Lord Shen, not so fast," Elder Kuyun called out, stopping Shen Bai.

Shen Bai asked, "Is there something else?"

Elder Kuyun said gravely, "Regarding the Buddha’s Six Wheels... although Xuanxin Temple has made thorough preparations, we are still worried that something might slip through the cracks. If any complications arise, we hope you will be willing to help, Lord Shen."

Shen Bai nodded. "I am from the Observatory. It’s my duty."

Elder Kuyun raised a hand. "In that case, I won’t keep you, Lord Shen. Take care."

Shen Bai said no more, turned, and left.

Soon, only Elder Kuyun remained in the hall.

Elder Kuyun did not linger; he too turned and left.

...

Time slowly passed, and a day went by in the blink of an eye.

When the next day arrived, Shen Bai emerged from his grinding frenzy.

[Blood Sword Dance +300]

His Skill Level increased once again, bringing Shen Bai another step closer to the second evolution of his Blood Sword Dance.

Shen Bai held the Bloodstained Handkerchief in his hand.

’I need more Evil Qi,’ Shen Bai thought. ’A lot more.’

At the moment, Shen Bai didn’t have a single wisp of Evil Qi left. He couldn’t even quickly appraise the Bloodstained Handkerchief.

’And the second evolution requires ten wisps of Evil Qi.’ Shen Bai suddenly felt like he was poor all over again.

’Once this is all over, perhaps I can go searching for it myself in my spare time,’ he thought to himself.

Just as he made up his mind, a sudden knock came at the door.

Shen Bai put the Bloodstained Handkerchief away and asked, "Who is it?"

From outside the door came the voice of a Little Monk. "Lord Shen, the Buddhist Teachings Conference is about to begin. The Elder sent me to ask you to make your way there."

Shen Bai remembered, of course. Today was the day the Buddhist Teachings Conference began.

"I know. I’ll be there shortly."

"Very good, Lord Shen."

Having received his response, the Little Monk did not linger and took his leave.

After the Little Monk left, Shen Bai freshened up, left his room, and headed toward Xuanxin Temple’s main hall.

...

A large crowd had already gathered in the open space outside the main hall.

A look of excitement was on everyone’s face.

This was a great opportunity, the most important part of the entire Buddhist Teachings Conference.

In the past, the Buddhist Teachings Conference usually lasted for three days.

On the first day, everyone would discuss Buddhist Teachings.

On the second day, the Jianghu People would socialize and build connections.

On the third day, Xuanxin Temple would host a grand vegetarian banquet.

And then, the conference would end.

Shen Bai hadn’t expected the Buddhist Teachings Conference to be so simple. Compared to the conferences of his past life, this one had dispensed with many of the formalities.

After all, even a power like Xuanxin Temple was still a part of the Jianghu, so many procedures were naturally simplified.

As soon as he stepped into the area outside the main hall, Shen Bai ran into someone he knew.

"This humble monk, Wuhua, greets Donor Shen." Wuhua, dressed in white monk’s robes, said with his palms pressed together.

Shen Bai glanced at him and smiled. "Your strength has improved. You’ve already reached the Five Organ Realm."

Wuhua nodded. "I haven’t left the temple since we parted ways in Fenglin State. I can finally come up for a breath of fresh air. Donor Shen, please, follow me."

Shen Bai gladly accepted Wuhua’s offer to lead the way.

Before long, Wuhua led Shen Bai to the very front of the open area.

Many meditation cushions were arranged in a semicircle at the front, and quite a few people were already seated. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Many more Xuanxin Temple monks were busy laying out cushions in succession, obviously for the temple’s guests.

"You can sit here, Donor Shen." Wuhua led Shen Bai to a spot near the front, and they sat down together.

Shen Bai asked, "Today’s agenda seems... different."

Wuhua replied, "The process has been simplified. This time, the focus is on the Buddha’s Six Wheels, so the usual theological discussions have been completely set aside."

Shen Bai glanced around. "I’ve always wanted to ask, with Xuanxin Temple being so generous, it must truly be a great benefit to everyone in Fenglin State."

Wuhua shook his head. "Xuanxin Temple dare not disobey the words of our founder. Besides, although we are a Buddhist Temple, we are ultimately a power within Fenglin State. In truth... we also have our worldly obligations."
