Jiang Hao finally found Xiao Li.
When she saw him, she lowered her head and twiddled her thumbs as if he had caught her doing something wrong.
Cheng Chou could not help but sigh. Xiao Li did not dare to act rashly when her Senior Brother was there.
“Did you fight with someone?” Jiang Hao asked.
“He started it!” Xiao Li muttered softly.
At that moment, the spirit beast ran over to her.
Xiao Li grabbed it and held it in front of her like a shield.
“Well, I’m reasonable, and Master has always been reasonable too. My friends in the underworld all feel that Master is right about this,” said the spirit beast.
Xiao Li hugged the spirit beast and pouted.
She did not feel like she had done anything wrong at all.
Jiang Hao looked at her and felt that she was still just a child.
Were all True Dragons like this?
It should not be.
Xiao Li looked more like a human than a human.
Her human nature was evident. She did not have the nature of a dragon at all.
“Let’s go and see Junior Brother Mu Yin,” Jiang Hao said.
They walked toward a house with a courtyard.
At that moment, in the courtyard, a monk with a youthful face and clear eyes was sunning his tattered monk’s robe.
He looked calm and composed. He wore a string of Buddhist beads. He looked like a young monk who had attained enlightenment.
When he heard someone approaching, he turned around to look.
The moment he saw Xiao Li, his face turned pale. But he turned away.
He seemed to dislike her.
Jiang Hao looked at him in surprise.
He looked delicate.
He should be in his twenties, but he did not look like it. He looked like a little child. He had even gotten into a fight with Xiao Li, who was equally childish.
The clarity in his eyes surprised Jiang Hao even more. It was a pity for such a person not to join an immortal sect.
A demonic sect was not a place for something like this.
Xiao Li also snorted. She hated the person in front of her.
“Are you alright, Junior Brother?” asked Jiang Hao.
At that moment, Mu Yin seemed to realize that there was someone else there besides Xiao Li. He regained his composure and put his hands together as though in prayer.
“Greetings, Senior Brother,” he said.
“When did you become a monk?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I’ve been in the temple since I was a young boy,” Mu Yin said.
“Really? Since childhood? Are you also cultivating a Buddhist technique?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes.” Mu Yin nodded.
He neither looked weak nor intimidating. Jiang Hao did not ask further.
He appraised Mu Yin.
[Mu Yin: His Dharma name is Miao Yi. Top-tier talent. He is in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He is naturally gifted to comprehend and understand Buddhist techniques. He is Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue’s son. His parents deliberately arranged for him to enter the Heavenly Note Sect in the hopes that he could receive guidance from you. If the Twelve Heavenly Kings fail to become immortals, it would be difficult for him to have a better future during the Great Era War. His parents want to find a way for him to live peacefully. Good teachings will awaken the Living Buddha in him. Bad teachings will awaken the Devil Buddha.]
Jiang Hao was a little surprised when he saw the feedback.
He actually had a natural gift.
Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue did not have such talent.
However, Mi Lingyue was a Forging Master, Pill Master, Formation Master, and Talisman Master.
It was truly amazing.
After a long silence, the other party felt a little uneasy.
He did not know what this Senior Brother wanted to do.
“Are you devoted to Buddhism?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes.” Mu Yin nodded.
“Do you want to be a Living Buddha… or something else?” Jiang Hao asked again.
“Senior Brother, your question is so strange.” Mu Yin looked at Jiang Hao. “Is there a different kind of Buddha? They’re all me.”
Jiang Hao looked at him and nodded.
How could this kid know what he would become?
The Living Buddha and the Devil Buddha. It was exactly like the immortal sects and the demonic sects.
“You cultivate Buddhist techniques?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes.” Mu Yin nodded.
“Why don’t you cultivate Dao techniques? Your Buddhist cultivation technique is too ordinary and limits you,” Jiang Hao said.
There were very few Buddhist techniques, and the profound ones could be counted on one hand.
The Hundred Revolutions of Heavenly Note far surpassed his Buddhist cultivation method.
“I cultivate Buddhism,” Mu Yin said stubbornly.
Jiang Hao took two steps forward and approached him.
The other party looked a little nervous but did not retreat.
“Junior Brother, have you heard of the saying, ‘Buddha is the Dao’?”
Jiang Hao looked at the confused little monk.
The other party was stunned.
Jiang Hao did not say anything else. Instead, he took a few steps back and said to Xiao Li, “You can come over every few days to see Junior Brother Mu’s progress.”
“Can I punch him?” Xiao Li was excited.
“Sure.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Xiao Li jumped up excitedly.
She thought that she was going to be scolded for asking something like that, but she did not expect to be given permission to beat up some monk.
“But you have to control your strength,” said Jiang Hao.
Xiao Li agreed readily.
Jiang Hao told the spirit beast to keep an eye on them so that it could teach the monk how to survive.
The spirit beast had mentored Chu Chuan, Lin Zhi, and Xiao Li. It should have no problem mentoring Mu Yin.
Jiang Hao did not meet these people often, so he could not guide them every single day.
Cheng Chou was the only one who spent most time with Xiao Li. He had taught her many things too.
However, Cheng Chou’s talent was the worst. Jiang Hao did not know how far Cheng Chou would go.
After he left, he asked Cheng Chou to pass the Heavenly Note Hundred Revolutions Technique to Mu Yin.
All would depend on whether this child was willing to learn or not.
With his wisdom, he probably would not refuse.
The next day, Cheng Chou sent a message saying that Mu Yin had started cultivating the Heavenly Note Hundred Revolutions Technique.
Meanwhile, Mu Longyu headed to the Lawless Tower after resting for a while.
He had heard some news about Mu Yin from some people.
As soon as he entered, he had picked a fight with a True Disciple and had gotten beaten up badly. He could not get out of his bed for days.
He felt helpless when he heard the news. However, he did not get involved.
He could only hope that his son would get used to this place soon.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Note Sect was strict about the rule that none of the disciples could kill another disciple in the sect.
The other sects also had such rules, but they were definitely not as strict as the Heavenly Note Sect.
Everything was finally going smoothly, but there was one thing that made him feel uncomfortable.
Mu Yin only cultivated Buddhist techniques and did not cultivate Dao techniques.
Otherwise, he would not be at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not persuade him to change his technique.
That was an obstacle for Mu Yin.
“Heavenly King…” At that moment, the old man walked over to him.
“What is it?” Mu Longyu asked.
He was going to the Lawless Tower. He had two reasons to go there: Mi Lingyue and Hai Luo.
If the Twelve Heavenly Kings wanted to become immortals, they had to have Hai Luo on their side.
“I received news that Mu Yin has started cultivating,” the old man said.
“So? What’s so strange about that?” Mu Longyu asked in puzzlement.
“He is cultivating another technique… The Heavenly Note Hundred Revolutions,” said the old man calmly.
Mu Yin had been recently taken in by his father, but he refused to cultivate the Dao technique. It was quite a headache to persuade him.
The words stunned Mu Longyu.
It had been more than twenty years, but Mu Yin had refused to change his technique, no matter how many times his father insisted.
Why had he suddenly changed his mind?
He asked the old man.
“I heard that an inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao, found Mu Yin. He is said to be an elder brother to Xiao Li. I thought he was there to reprimand Mu Yin for picking a fight, but he just suggested he take up the Heavenly Note Hundred Revolutions Technique of the sect.”
Mu Longyu was shocked.
It was him!
That person definitely knew Mu Yin’s true identity. Does that mean Jiang Hao had no ill intentions toward him?
But still… How was he able to change Mu Yin’s mind about changing to a Dao technique?
Many questions filled his mind.
