Chapter 344: Chapter 341: Tongue Blossoms, Selling the Future

"Support! Support!

Quickly send a message, call for reinforcements from our Mountain Temple to support our Beimang Mountain Dojo!"

In the midst of a fierce battle that left both parties battered and bleeding, they urgently called out in unison.

Wang Yuan had already pulled Cui Baiyu through a membrane-like boundary, arriving at a mysterious location.

Before he could even take a good look at his surroundings, Cui Baiyu, a Mage of the Dharma Body realm, immediately felt a dense surge of Earth Qi engulfing him.

As the lively Qi passed through his body, his heart instantly felt refreshed, and he couldn’t help but murmur with a loss for words,

"Could this place be...?"

Wang Yuan patted his shoulder with a smile.

"Indeed, it is none other than the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, one of the seventy-two blessed lands in the world!"

This place used to be ruled by the Owl God Tomb.

Weird, Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, along with the population devoured by the Yili King over the past two hundred years, together formed a repeating Deceit Realm: the Ghost Festival Feast.

It recreated the scene in Luoyang City on the day the Yili King died during the Ghost Festival.

All living people who entered this realm would ultimately meet a gruesome death, devoured by the thousand-headed Giant Vulture transformed from the Yili King.

Presently.

In the year after the master’s demise, the Earth Qi had flowed naturally, completely cleansing the man-made buildings, pavilions, and towers in the Deceit Realm.

It allowed the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land to revert to its original state, a creation of nature.

Beneath the dazzling silver river above their heads,

Layer upon layer of beautiful mountains, crystal-clear winding rivers densely scattered about, gentle azure mists drifting slowly, and celestial herbs and flowers standing tall with dewdrops – it was a sight to behold.

The Spirit Mechanism of heaven and earth around them was also exceptionally lively.

With the rising surge, waves of pure Qi permeated, bringing a sense of mental clarity and penetrating thoughts.

For Wang Yuan and Cui Baiyu, two Mages who had condensed mana and bridged the divide between inner and external realms, the feeling was even more profound.

Separated by a Luo River, Beimang Mountain and Luoyang City stood opposite each other, one mountain and one city, one Yin and one Yang, one land and one human.

As one of the ancestral veins of Dragon Energy, the Qi of mountains and rivers harmonized and nurtured with the Wishing Power of the people from the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, all bounded by the Luo River that mirrored the Star River, each enabling the other’s existence.

The nourishing coexistence was simply indescribable!

If a Daoist could dwell here for a long time, they would naturally share the Earth Spirit Qi and Dragon Energy of the land.

Even for Mages at the Mage Realm who practiced here, their pace of cultivation could suddenly increase by fifty percent.

The artificially created "Water Dragon Cultivation Formation" at Mirror Lake, in just a few decades, paled in comparison to this naturally-formed Blessed Land, like a firefly’s light against the brilliance of the moon!

Those from the Plague Dao and the Nine Soldiers Corpse Dao, still fighting fiercely outside, only knew that the entrance to the "Beimang Mountain Blessed Land" was located inside the Luoyang Royal Mausoleum at Bird Beak Slope.

Naturally, the area became the central battleground for their conflict.

Under normal circumstances, until one of the two Sects clearly emerged victorious, no one would think about entering.

But they didn’t know that after the Landlady and Landlord returned to their hometown.

With Grandma’s Mountain God Power or Wang Yuan’s "Twin Realms Dharma Body,"

They could directly access the "Beimang Mountain Blessed Land," the focal point of the Earth Spirit Qi, from any part of Beimang Mountain!

There’s a saying that goes: Now that I’m back home, this time, everything that belongs to me, I will take it all back!

"Xiao Cui, what do you think of this foundation?"

At the top of a hill where dark green vegetation thrived, Wang Yuan excitedly pulled Cui Baiyu—his colleague visiting his home for the first time—to showcase the territory.

"Naturally, being one of the world-renowned seventy-two Blessed Lands, this place is excellent.

It’s even more precious that it has retained its pristine state; it has been untouched by humans for at least hundreds of years, allowing one to start with a blank canvas!

Moreover, it’s not like the Pengxuan Grotto Heaven, which carries too many core facilities and research projects of the Nine Soldiers, leaving hardly any space for constructing cave mansions and houses.

Even if one were fortunate enough to secure a spot in the end, we would only have usage rights, not ownership rights.

My ’Taiyin Xuanbing Dao’ is in a similar predicament, with more monks than porridge."

There are principally four requisites for cultivation: wealth, companions, techniques, and land.

Wherever there are people, resource distribution has always been unbalanced.

Even though Cui Baiyu’s ’Taiyin Xuanbing Dao’ has an extensive legacy and is considered among the foremost of the Side Doors,

The number of people waiting to share the resources is countless.

Why does every Sect and Side Door have numerous branches of varying sizes, with palaces and dojos spread across various locations?

That’s because there’s a limit to the resources available for cultivators within a certain area.

The land must not only have a beautiful scenery filled with Spirit Mechanism but also avoid the ’Dragon Qi Prohibition’ during the golden age of the dynasty, so as not to wear down one’s Taoist Skills.

I couldn’t be too far from where people live, as it would hinder the collection of "Earth Spirit Qi"...

Such ideal places that meet all the criteria are almost always on a one-to-one basis, and if you’re not out there "slaying demons and exterminating evil," there’s no chance for latecomers.

After all, those without background or skill have long been killed off, how could there be a chance for others to pick up the leftovers?

Seeing the gleaming eyes of Cui Baiyu, Boss Wang nodded with satisfaction before he continued,

"Didn’t you just ask why I happened to be here?

Actually, Beimang Mountain is where I grew up. Later, I joined the Imperial Dragon Guard and then, under the recommendation of the Giant Gate Star Lord, I joined the Dou Department.

I was fortunate to meet a group of fellow Daoists and friends in the Nine Soldiers who shared the same ideals."

"Just as I returned from a long journey, my grandma heard me mention that my fellow Daoists in the Nine Soldiers are busy slaying demons and exorcising evil, protecting the people.

Many don’t even have a decent Cave Mansion to call their own, let alone think of finding a Taoist friend, starting a family, and raising descendants.

My grandma then said to me that although our family’s Grotto Heaven Blessed Land is good, it should not be kept all to ourselves; after all, this land was idle anyway, and one family can’t occupy it all.

It would be better to allocate a part of it, so that my fellow colleagues who sacrifice their own needs for the greater good can also have a place to settle down.

After battles through wind and rain, covered in blood from slaying demons and exorcising evil, they would have a place of their own for cultivation and rest.

The old lady is really kindhearted!"

As Old Master Wang uttered these compassionate words, large, green lotuses that only he could see fell from his mouth.

It was truly the Tongue Blossoms Aspect!

Originally, when Wang Yuan was breaking through the Non-Human Realm of Daoist Soldier, his innate abnormality led to a positive change.

He awakened the twenty-ninth phenotypic aspect among Buddha’s thirty-two major and eighty minor marks — "Eyes as Deep Blue Aspect."

Now that he was wealthy, and had decided to safeguard the Blessed Land, he spent a full two hundred thousand Yin Morality to awaken two other innate strange phenomena.

The twenty-eighth aspect, "Buddhist Chant Aspect": The voice is loud and beautiful, the sound is bright and clear when emitted, and can be transmitted very far, even penetrating people’s hearts.

The twenty-seventh aspect, "Long Tongue Aspect": The tongue is thin and soft, extremely flexible, and could cover the face if extended.

When combined, they form one of Buddhism’s potent aspects — "Tongue Blossoms Aspect"!

Upon speaking, blossoms of green lotuses would follow, significantly enhancing speechcraft and eloquence, making it an optimal choice for diplomats and salespeople.

Especially under circumstances where the other party has preconceived notions, it can have an astonishing effect, for example: The senior brother is right! The master is right! The second senior brother is right!

With a single echo of "Tongue Blossoms," the other party would completely believe their own assumptions.

It is an exquisite ability for instigating disputes and manipulating words.

The key to successful speechcraft is: nine truths and one lie.

What’s more impressive is that when every statement is true, but together they form a lie, it can easily "convince" cultivators of higher ability than oneself.

For instance, the success in provoking battle within the "Plague Formation" was all thanks to the power of the "Tongue Blossoms Aspect."

The only thing that puzzled Wang Yuan was when Huang Wu, having seen his demonstration that was more like showing off, somehow got an idea, spat lightly, and pinched him hard, blushing furiously.

At this moment.

Listening to Wang Yuan’s Tongue Blossoms speechcraft, Cui Baiyu, who was already a faithful fan, had no doubts whatsoever, but asked with slight confusion,

"May I know who your esteemed ancestor is...?"

After a series of stories about his "role model," Cui Baiyu’s faith had skyrocketed.

He never doubted from the beginning to the end that in reality, this was about finding free guardians for the estate.

And it was a lifelong binding arrangement at that.

Wang Yuan replied modestly with a smile,

"Ha, my grandma isn’t really anyone of significance.

She just received the Divine Tao Talisman Order, and her Dharma Domain happens to cover this three hundred miles of Beimang Mountain, just an ordinary Mountain God and Earth God.

An old lady over a thousand years old, she doesn’t have any other hobbies and delights in kindness and accumulating virtue."

All those who knew about the Owl God Tomb and the Small Book of Life and Death were wiped out by Wang Yuan and Old Man Wang.

Even the lingering memories in the ghosts’ spirits were washed away by the San Tu River water.

He wasn’t worried about any future troubles.

Moreover, since his grandma was deservedly the Mountain God of Beimang, emerging into public view was only a matter of time. It made sense to build a relationship with the Immortal Officials of the Nine Soldiers sooner rather than later.

Seeing Cui Baiyu, whose doubts had been cleared and who now regarded him with solemn respect, his eyes gradually glowing with golden light, Old Master Wang, having set the stage for a long time, finally revealed his intentions

"The wise create opportunities, the strong seize them, the weak wait for them, Xiao Cui, what are you hesitant about?

Beimang Mountain Blessed Land’s independent Cave Mansion, a scarce resource, beautifully priced, with a low down payment, and services such as two hundred, three hundred, or five hundred years of successive generational loans available.

It’s truly first-come-first-served now!"
