His power was bestowed upon him by Zhang Xiaoshan, so naturally he posed no threat to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"This is the first and the last time. If there is a next time, I, Zhang, would not mind taking you back into the Dragon Ball to return you to your origin."
Improving one's strength by absorbing blood is a demonic practice.
Given Yin Zhengshen's situation, the consequences of him becoming addicted to blood are unimaginable.
Zhang Xiaoshan activated the meteorite pendant on Yin Zheng Shenren's body, directly removing the evil power that had infected it.
Otherwise, this power would be no different from the White Lotus Holy Water.
Chapter 294 Sisters Reunite, Yilin's Transformation
"Yilin!"
Inside the Hanging Temple of Hengshan, Yilin, who was meditating, suddenly heard a long-lost voice.
The moment Emei looked back, she saw the figure she had longed for appear behind her, and she couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.
"Sister, it really is you!"
"Yes, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I haven't come out of seclusion because of my breakthrough."
I only had the chance to come see you recently because I broke through my current cultivation level.
Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's reason, Yilin did not doubt it; instead, she was happy for Dongfang Bubai.
After all, Dongfang Bubai already possessed such high martial arts skills. If he were to break through again, what realm would he reach?
"Oh, right, these are authentic Jiangnan pastries that your sister made for you herself, and this is also a jar of the finest Biluochun tea!"
"Thank you sister!"
Hearing that Dongfang Bubai had made the pastries himself, even Yilin was moved. This was perhaps the feeling of home.
"Alright, try it—how does it taste?"
"Ok!"
Pure white as snow, adorned with plum blossoms in the center, a rich fragrance wafts over, whetting the appetite.
Even Yilin couldn't believe it; Dongfang Bubai had actually made such exquisite pastries. She never expected him to be so skillful.
"Thank you sister!"
Yilin didn't stand on ceremony; she took a bite and immediately started chewing non-stop.
The sticky sweetness, the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the rustic flavor of rice—a myriad of tastes captivated her. She ate four or five pieces before finally stopping, unable to eat any more.
"Sis, this is so delicious! Can I take some to Master and the others? I can't finish it all."
"Of course, no problem. I'll send you some more tomorrow. It's no big deal."
"Thank you sister!"
The sisters' bond was incredibly strong, and Dongfang Bubai thoroughly enjoyed it.
She was originally all alone, but now she has two people with whom she is deeply connected.
"Alright, what I'm about to give you must not be passed on to anyone else, at least not without my permission."
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai took out a martial arts manual from his bosom, which was a handwritten copy by Master Mingchen.
"Your martial arts skills are too weak. This is something I got from a Buddhist master."
This contains an authentic Xuanmen internal skill, which also contains the Buddhist concept of "formlessness," making it extremely suitable for your mental cultivation.
In addition, there is a Tantric yoga style that can help you calm your mind and meditate on Buddhism; and the Shaolin Flower-Picking Finger Technique, based on the story of Kasyapa's enlightenment through a smile while holding up a flower. Both are martial arts styles that are extremely suitable for you to practice.
"Sister, Yilin is a disciple of Hengshan. How can she practice other martial arts? No way!"
These three martial arts techniques, including the Flower-Picking Finger Technique which Yilin only knew, were the secrets of the Shaolin Seventy-Two Arts, which were not passed down to anyone else.
The other two techniques also sound like extraordinary skills.
"Yilin, your martial arts skills are too weak."
If you don't practice these martial arts, how can I be at ease about your safety? The dangers of the martial world far exceed your imagination.
If you're worried about your elders in the sect finding out, I can go and talk to them about it.
"Sister, let Yilin go and talk to her."
Yilin also knew Dongfang Bubai's worries and understood that this older sister was genuinely concerned about her safety, otherwise she wouldn't have sought out such precious martial arts skills.
"That's good. What you have is a handwritten copy by a Buddhist master, Master Mingchen. It contains many Buddhist scriptures and will be of great help to you. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"Ok!"
The sisters chatted for a while before Dongfang Bubai left the Hanging Temple.
Yilin packed her things and turned to head towards the main hall and Buddhist shrine, because Yue Buqun had not practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, and the Three Ding of Hengshan had not passed away.
However, Linghu Chong joined the Hengshan Sect without even realizing it.
On the day Linghu Chong was expelled from the Huashan Sect, Dingyi saw his chivalrous heart and took him into the Hengshan Sect, where he was listed among the lay disciples in the lower courtyard of Hengshan.
This is also to prevent him from associating with evil spirits and falling into the demonic path. Once Mount Hua finds out the truth, he can be reinstated as a Mount Hua disciple at any time.
The Five Sacred Mountains are of the same branch; it's just a matter of transferring from one hand to the other. Even Yue Buqun and his wife were aware of this.
"Disciple Yilin greets Sect Leader, Master, and Grand Master!"
"Yilin, was the food box you're holding delivered by an outsider?"
The exquisite rosewood food box was something Ding Yi knew at a glance that was not something an ordinary family could afford.
At least the Hengshan Sect has never been this extravagant.
"My sister just came by. She made some pastries from Jiangnan. I ate a few pieces and was full, so I came to give them to my master to try!"
"profound?"
Not only Dingyi, but also Dingjing and Dingxian looked astonished.
Yilin is innocent and kind, and is one of the juniors they like very much.
Knowing that Yilin had found her older sister after descending the mountain, they were happy for her. Little did they know that Yilin's sister had entered Hengshan as if it were her own backyard.
This is no ordinary place; it's the Hanging Temple. Apart from a suspended cable car, there are no other paths around it.
"master!"
The food box was opened, revealing exquisite pastries inside, which even made Ding Jing and the other two exclaim in amazement.
so beautiful!
"This was made by my sister herself, and she'll be bringing it over tomorrow. Master, please have a taste!"
"Ok!"
Dingyi did not refuse, and Dingjing and Dingxian had no doubts.
"Alright, little girl, you can't keep things to yourself. What else is it?"
"Master, my sister brought me a secret manual to practice, but I dare not make the decision on my own, so I have come to ask for your guidance!"
Yilin took out the secret manual, which startled San Ding.
Yilin is a disciple of Hengshan, and it is forbidden for her to practice other people's martial arts. Therefore, San Ding also knew that this was no small matter.
However, there was little criticism of Yilin. It was just that the mysterious older sister could come and go from Hengshan as if it were her own territory. Her martial arts skills were so high that it was inevitable that she would look down on the martial arts of Hengshan.
"Peeping at someone else's martial arts skills is a major taboo!"
"Since this is a gift to you, Yilin, what do you think of the martial arts techniques depicted on it?"
"The scroll above contains a Xuanmen (mysterious sect) mental cultivation method—the Lesser Formless Skill, which implicitly contains the Buddhist concept of formlessness and is a...unique internal martial arts technique; there is also a secret yoga method to aid in meditation, and a Shaolin Flower-Picking Finger Technique..."
Furthermore, it is annotated with numerous Buddhist scriptures, prioritizing Buddhist teachings over martial arts, making it appear as if the disciple possesses a scroll of a high-ranking monk's notes.
My sister said it was engraved by a Buddhist monk named 'Mingchen'!
"Master Mingchen!"
San Ding exchanged a glance and immediately realized that Yi Lin's older sister was no ordinary person and must have a very deep connection with the Zhang family.
·········Requesting flowers·· 0
Moreover, their generosity was even more astonishing.
They had never heard of the Lesser Formless Skill, but even just considering it as an internal skill, it was a profound mental technique no less than the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.
There's also Tantric yoga and the Buddhist finger gesture, which are the unique skills of Master Mingchen.
"Since it is a manuscript by a high-ranking Buddhist monk, it is perfectly acceptable to practice some of it."
However, these are other people's secret techniques, so one must not reveal them in front of senior and junior sisters.
"Yes, disciple understands!"
"Cultivate diligently. As long as it's not demonic martial arts, don't put any pressure on yourself."
Also, take these snacks and share them with your senior and junior sisters. It would be a waste to leave them until tomorrow if you can't finish them.
Watching Yilin turn and leave, the three men of Hengshan all had inscrutable expressions.
Actually, starting from Hengshan, they should have known that Yilin's sister had a close relationship with the Zhang family, they just didn't know who it was.
If Yilin hadn't been convinced that she was her biological sister, they would have been filled with suspicion.
And judging from the looks of it, that older sister really treats Yilin well.
Handmade pastries and a handwritten copy of Buddhist martial arts manuals—these are the epitome of affection.
It's just about identity...
They were too mysterious. Even though they had no ill intentions towards Hengshan, it still made them feel wary and uneasy.
The next day, when they tried to peek inside, they hadn't even had a chance to see the figures clearly before their pressure points were struck.
After that, apart from listening to the sisters talk about their feelings, Dingyi and the other two were all unable to move.
Once the person left, the pressure points on the three people were suddenly released.
The two sisters were completely out of sight, their martial arts skills were terrifying and ghostly. If they hadn't overheard their conversation, they would have truly thought they had encountered a ghost.
That sister's martial arts skills were simply astonishing.
Even though Dingyi had seen Dongfang Bubai's martial arts, his ghostly movements were far inferior to this.
With Dongfang Bubai already dead, no one expected him to be involved.
Therefore, the three Hengshan brothers never tried to spy on them again. After all, given the huge gap in skill, the fact that they didn't kill them was already a great favor to Yilin.
Otherwise, their terrifying methods could kill them silently and without a trace.
Besides, the other party is Yilin's sister, who is only here to visit Yilin. Why should they go and join in the fun?
It wasn't until half a month later that Dongfang Bubai left Hengshan.
Under Dongfang Bubai's guidance, Yilin has already mastered the basics of Xiaowuxiang Gong.
Yilin is pure and kind, and the true meaning of Wuxiang can only be comprehended by a childlike heart, so her cultivation is twice as effective.
Moreover, there were the miraculous medicines that Dongfang Bubai had obtained from Zhang Xiaoshan: Hua Tuo's Pill, the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, the Three-Turn True Pill...
Although the increase in internal energy is not significant, over half a month, taking one pill a day will allow the medicinal power accumulated in Yilin's body to be slowly released as she cultivates, causing her internal energy to advance by leaps and bounds.
Furthermore, matters concerning Buddhist scriptures are further guided by the Threefold Precepts of Buddhism.
Furthermore, the handwritten copy included annotations indicating the sources of the scriptures and the Buddhist texts that required further study…
In the eyes of the three masters of Hengshan, Yilin suddenly transformed from a well-behaved student into a top student, immersing herself in Buddhist scriptures day and night.
This isn't martial arts training; it's clearly studying Buddhist scriptures.
Great wisdom! Great insight! Great perseverance! Strength.
Chapter 295 Qin Shi Huang Zheng's Ambition
After leaving Hengshan, Dongfang Bubai originally planned to go to the nearby Blackwood Cliff!
But thinking of the current chaotic state of the Sun Moon Cult, she feared that if she went there, she wouldn't be able to resist taking direct action. The Sun Moon Cult needed to be destroyed before it could be rebuilt, and Ren Woxing couldn't die at her hands.
