Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)
Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Chapter 653: The Enlightened Monk Chapter 654: Chapter 653: The Enlightened Monk “`

Although he failed to temper his Mind State, Shi Chan, as a monk deeply versed in Buddhist teachings who had reached enlightenment, did not feel discouraged.

“I don't need my Senior Brothers to worry about me breaking my vows.”

“The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties.

How could it be smooth sailing without any ripples?

Failure is inevitably part of the journey.”

“It is precisely because of failure that we come to appreciate the value of success.”

“It is by knowing the bliss of indulging in carnal desires that after successful cultivation of the Mind State, it will appear all the more steadfast.”

“aEUR But what if Master Jiesha finds out about your breaking of the vows?”

“Only the three of us are privy to this matter.

Monks do not speak lies, but since the two Senior Brothers are not monks, if the master asks, I would trouble you to lie on my behalf.”

Lu Yang gestured for Shi Chan to take a seat and have some water instead of talking while standing: “And what if Master Jiesha asks you?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Chan's expression changed slightly, thinking about the consequences if his master were to find out, but then he relaxed again: “Then I can only practice Silent Zen.”

Lu Yang: “aEUR ”

Truly a monk who had reached enlightenment, always considering things thoroughly.

Meng Jingzhou watched Daoist Shi Chan with a deep and plaintive gaze.

The Ancient Pure Yang Immortal Body has a girlfriend and now even monks can frequent brothels?

So I'm the only unlucky one left?

“Buddha once said that you must rise from where you fall.

Since I have failed today, when I have earned money later on, I shall fight again.

I plan to stay in this city for a few days; what are the Senior Brothers' plans?”

Meng Jingzhou made a timeout gesture: “Are you sure that was said by Buddha?”

Shi Chan smiled, rolled up his wide sleeves, dipped his finger in water, and drew three circles on the table, explaining:

“Buddhism emphasizes that the past, present, and future are one.

There's the Past Buddha, Present Buddha, and Future Buddha.

As a disciple of Buddhism, I naturally aim to achieve Buddha's enlightenment.

Although I am not yet a Buddha now, I surely will be in the future.

Since the past, present, and future are one, wouldn't that mean what I say is also what Buddha says?”

Meng Jingzhou felt that Shi Chan joining the Suspension Temple was Seek Dao Sect's loss.

Lu Yang inquired of Fairy Eternity, the creator of Buddhism; he didn't understand much about Buddhist affairs.

“Fairy, is this a teaching of Buddhism?”

“I can't remember clearly, I'm only responsible for making up stories.

Theoretical matters are not my job.”

Fairy Eternity was lying lazily on the Lotus Platform, arching her body and stretching like a little cat.

At this moment, Lu Yang's Spiritual Space had transformed into a spacious Mahavira Hall with glazed tile roofs, eaves adorned with brackets, and exquisitely carved windows.

The incense in the Mahavira Hall was very popular, and what was enshrined was both the true form of Fairy Eternity, the founder of Buddhism, and her Lotus Platform.

As the founder of Buddhism, all current Buddhist monks are her disciples.

Having encountered one such disciple, she took the opportunity to decorate the second-in-command's Spiritual Space for a change of scene.

“Then who is responsible for the theory?”

“Everyone else, besides me.”

“aEUR ”

“May I ask, Senior Brother Shi Chan, what method do you plan to use to make money?”

Given Shi Chan's intention to earn money by reporting the black market, Lu Yang had serious doubts about Shi Chan's ability to make money.

“I'll perform religious services.”

“Oh right, you're a monk.” Lu Yang suddenly remembered that Shi Chan was originally from the Suspension Temple.

“`

Shi Chan looked at Lu Yang with bewilderment, then lowered his head to inspect his own monk's attire.

From his outfit to his way of doing things, he looked every bit the part of a monastic.

“So the poor monk will rest for one night and meet up with the two of you here tomorrow morning.”

“Wait a minute, do you even have any money?

Where do you plan to stay?” Lu Yang grabbed Shi Chan, who was always in a hurry and ready to leave.

If before, Shi Chan was too poor to afford Old Meng's blood and could afford a visit to the brothel, then whether he had any money left after his visit to the brothel was questionable.

Forced by Lu Yang to return, Shi Chan explained, “I am penniless, but as a wanderer, the world is my home.

I have already found a bridge archaEUR”it can't block the wind but can keep out the rain.

Tonight, there is no wind or rain, so it's perfect for accommodation.”

Lu Yang was speechless.

As fellow Immortal Disciples, we're staying in an inn, and you're under a bridge.

Would that sound right if it got out?

“Anyway, the two of us made quite a bit of money tonight.

Let Old Meng treat you to a stay at the inn.”

Meng Jingzhou glared at Lu Yang.

You play the good guy, and I pay?

Lu Yang appeased Old Meng, “I'm helping you perform a good deed.

Think about it, who is Shi Chan?

A high monk from the Suspension Temple.

You've done many misdeeds, so offering a place to stay for a high monk is a great merit.

Considering you shared Spirit Stones with me, I'm giving you this chance to do something good.”

“Scram, scram, scram.” Meng Jingzhou wasn't buying Lu Yang's game, but staying at the inn wouldn't cost many Spirit Stones.

If he's treating, he's treating.

“It just so happens that I've never seen Buddhism ceremonies.

I'll stay here for a few days to see how you conduct them.”

“Then, I thank the two Senior Brothers.”

Seeing that the two were willing to stay in this city, Shi Chan was truly happy.

Perhaps he would have the chance to learn two types of fist arts and also learn from Senior Brother Meng how to contain desires.

The blood of ordinary Single Body Spiritual Root would not have this effect.

Senior Brother Meng must have pushed himself to the limit to create this Yang Invigorating blood.

He couldn't withstand even twenty drops.

It was hard to imagine how Senior Brother Meng, whose body ran with blood, endured.

Speaking of staying at the inn brought some unpleasant memories for Meng Jingzhou.

“We've stayed at three different inns, and all three had issues.

Surely, we won't have problems the fourth time?”

Lu Yang had always been confident about his luck.

“No, think about our experiences.

How many times have we encountered Body Integration Realm cultivators, Transcendance Tribulation Stage beings, and battles with Semi-Immortals?

We've always come out unscathed, without even a scratch.”

“Clearly, that's a sign of our good luck.”

Meng Jingzhou felt you might as well first think about why we keep running into these fights with Great Powers.

The three found an inn that catered to cultivators, with a Gathering Spirit Array inside to aid in cultivation.

If it were just Lu Yang and Meng, they could pick any place, as they could use the “Swallow the Sky” technique with their mouths open, which was even better than the Gathering Spirit Array.

But with Shi Chan included, they couldn't.

“Boss, three Grade-A rooms.” Meng Jingzhou was rarely flush with cash and was in high spirits; he paid for all three rooms.

The innkeeper was a man, so it seemed unlikely there would be a case of a nephew fighting over an inheritance.

With plenty of Grade-A rooms available, there was no chance of cultivators fighting over them.

The three easily made their way to their respective rooms.

Lu Yang pushed open his room door, only to see a mess inside.

The wardrobe and table were overturned, the windows wide open letting in a cold draft, and on the bed, a man and a woman were wrestling.

The man was dressed in black, wielding a dagger with a murderous look in his eyes.

The woman's clothes were disheveled as she struggled desperately, a trace of blood visible on her neck lining up with the bloodstain on the dagger.

The room was equipped with a soundproof array, keeping any noise from escaping.

The woman struggling for her life saw Lu Yang and saw hope.

Lu Yang stepped back out of the room and glanced at the room number.

Wrong room.
