Chapter 128: Chapter 110 Old Monk_2

With the Jade Scroll in hand, it was naturally safe and secure.

He placed the Jade Scroll on his forehead, and a massive amount of information flowed into his brain, which was also recorded by IBMz15 as a document named ‘Oral Lotus.’

‘Oral Lotus’ is somewhat similar to ‘Devil’s Sound into the Ear,’ both being sonic wave-based cultivation techniques, but ‘Oral Lotus’ is a Buddhist cultivation technique, which requires the blessing of Buddhist intent during cultivation and application to unleash its full potential.

“Buddhist cultivation techniques are indeed domineering!” Li Shiming sighed in his heart after a cursory look.

To cultivate Buddhist cultivation techniques, one must thoroughly study Buddhist teachings, using them to reinforce one’s spirit, to cultivate without impediments.

Ordinary cultivators who long contact Buddhist cultivation techniques either fall into devilry or are profoundly influenced by the Buddhist teachings, becoming completely integrated into the Buddhist fold.

This type of domineering is an overt scheme, while ‘Devil’s Sound into the Ear’ is a covert plot, with long-term practice affecting one’s mind with demon cultivation techniques.

Li Shiming had experience in practicing the ‘Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill,’ which afforded him his own way to handle Buddhist cultivation techniques.

In another small box was a relic, which he did not take out. He decided to wait until returning to his sect to ask someone for more information about the relic.

He did not believe that an old monk he had just met would have such good intentions as to give him a Buddhist relic, which was such a precious treasure.

Li Shiming cleared the battlefield and left Changshi Valley with Han Yu to find a secluded spot to interrogate Han Yu.

Three days after Li Shiming left, Yin Shilan arrived at a small island about five hundred miles from Jiufeng on a Flying Boat.

“Sister!” A petite figure in a peach-colored, floor-length, plum blossom-bordered water-patterned dress lunged toward Yin Shilan.

“Fei’er, how did you come here!” Yin Shilan smiled and caught the flying figure.

“Someone wants to bully Sister; I came to help you!” Ren Fei’er clenched her small fist and waved it energetically.

“With father here, who could bully me!” Yin Shilan gently patted her little face.

Yin Shilan’s somewhat aloof demeanor disappeared in front of Ren Fei’er, perhaps only showing her real self in front of those close to her.

“Wait for your father to deal with it? By the time they come knocking on our door, he’s still in seclusion!” At this moment, another voice came from the island, followed by a woman in a black dress appearing.

“Mother!” Yin Shilan stepped forward, bowing in greeting.

“The Baili brat is not worthy of my Lan’er!” the woman in the black dress held Yin Shilan’s hand, looked at her, and said.

If Yin Shilan hadn’t revealed the identity of the woman in black, given their appearance standing together, no one would think they were mother and daughter, but would take them for sisters.

However, in the cultivation world, women often spend substantial resources on their maintenance, so they generally appear quite young.

“Lan’er, did you see that kid from the Baili family during your time back at the sect?” the woman in the black dress casually asked.

She was here to solve the problem; if she had grounds, she would have more confidence, but if not, she would deal in a different way.

“How could I have met Baili Jin Yan!” Yin Shilan immediately shook her head in response.

“Good, Old Monster Baili actually expects to get information about his son from you. He thinks I’m just a weak woman!” the woman in the black dress said, laughing lightly.

The Holy Ice Sect’s Elder Baili, who was also Baili Jin Yan’s father, personally came to the Heavenly Sea Sect’s territory.

Elder Baili had left a third-tier treasure in his son’s body, containing a bit of his own essence blood, linked to his spirit.

After the treasure was triggered, he sensed that Baili Jin Yan’s last life-saving measure had been activated and knew that Baili Jin Yan had encountered a life-and-death crisis.

Elder Baili immediately rushed toward the Heavenly Sea Sect; with the two sects being very far apart, even a Golden Core Stage powerhouse took some time to arrive at the Heavenly Sea Sect’s waters.

In his perception, Baili Jin Yan had not died but was missing.

He was anxious but could only seek help from the Heavenly Sea Sect.

The Heavenly Sea Sect conducted a three-day investigation but came up with no results.

Meanwhile, news from the Holy Ice Sect indicated that Baili Jin Yan had come to pursue Yin Shilan, leading Elder Baili to focus on Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan’s identity was special; her father was an elder of the Sky Sea Sect, his strength comparable to that of Elder Baili.

Even though Elder Yin, Shilan’s father, was still in seclusion, the other elders within the sect would not allow Elder Baili to meet with Shilan.

If Elder Baili were to do something drastic, it would lead to great trouble.

The matter could have been delayed, but Elder Baili’s refusal to leave the outskirts of the Sky Sea Sect was causing unrest within the sect.

A Golden Core Stage cultivator had a significant impact on a sect.

Elder Baili intended to create pressure, forcing the Sky Sea Sect to let him meet with Shilan so that he could inquire about the affairs of Baili Jin Yan.

If Yin Shilan’s father were not in seclusion, it would be a matter between Elder Yin and Elder Baili, but now it had become a trouble between the Sky Sea Sect and the Holy Ice Sect.

The news reached the ears of the woman in black, which led to her arriving at the outskirts of the Sky Sea Sect with Ren Fei’er for a meeting.

“Sister, have you obtained some new treasure?” Fei’er leaned against her sister Shilan and asked curiously.

She sensed an object on Shilan, for something Shilan wore would hardly be simple.

As she spoke, she reached out to grab it, her carefree manner was unique in this world.

An exquisite pocket watch appeared in Fei’er’s hands; she opened the case and watched the moving pointers, inheriting similar intellect to Shilan.

Looking at the dial divided into twelve parts and the arrangement of three hands, she immediately guessed the function of the pocket watch.

“Sister, can you give it to me, please?” Fei’er blinked her large eyes at Shilan, pleading.

From childhood, this trick had never failed her.

Although she and Shilan lived in different places, the two sisters met often. Shilan was extremely protective of her younger sister, always giving her any good things she had.

“This one, I cannot,” Shilan unusually refused this time and quickly took back the pocket watch.

Fei’er looked incredulously at her now empty hand, for the first time in her life she had asked her sister for something and hadn’t succeeded.

“Mother, sister has someone she loves!” Fei’er suddenly reported to the woman in black.

The woman in black had been watching the interaction between the two sisters. It was not easy for a cultivator to have two children; if it hadn’t been for a stroke of luck during an adventure, even having one child at the Golden Core Stage could greatly damage their vitality.

Due to the special status between her and Elder Yin, each parent had taken one child, even their surnames were split between them.

Although Shilan did not take her surname, her love for Shilan was not reduced in any way.

Upon hearing Fei’er’s report, the woman in black was prepared to laugh it off, knowing Shilan’s character. Given Shilan’s aloof nature, she was worried that Shilan would end up alone for life.

Of course, cultivators did not necessarily have to marry; many cultivators chose celibacy to pursue the path of immortality.

But the woman in black did not wish this for Shilan; even at the Golden Core Stage, she still believed it was best for her daughter to find someone she could entrust with her life.

“Fei’er, don’t…” As the woman in black was about to stop Fei’er from speaking nonsense, she suddenly noticed the blush on Shilan’s face and held her words.

At that moment, Fei’er also sensed something amiss. She had been speaking carelessly, only joking due to her frustration at not receiving what she wanted.

But Shilan’s reaction was not at all joking, and Shilan was not one to joke.

“Lan’er, who is that young man?” the woman in black asked, her voice carrying a strange note mixed with Spiritual Power.

“It’s…” As Shilan was about to reply, she suddenly clenched her voice and her gaze towards the woman in black filled with reproach.

“Mother, how could you use ‘Devil’s Sound into the Ear’!” she complained with a delicate shout, nearly caught by the technique.

The woman in black chuckled smugly; although she hadn’t heard the name, she could be sure that her daughter indeed had someone she cherished.
