In less than half a second, Master Longdan had already agreed to Ye Ran's request.

Master Longdan quickly turned around.

That anxious attitude made it seem as if she was quite afraid Ye Ran would change her mind:

Do you have a receiving container? I can give it to you right now...

Seeing Master Longdan's 180-degree change in attitude,

Not only were others stunned, but even Ye Ran was taken aback.

What happened to the master's promise of selfless sacrifice and heroic death? What happened to his bottom line and integrity?

"Master, won't you reconsider?" Ye Ran asked Long Dan.

Master Longdan shook his head, then looked up at Ye Ran with a frank expression:

"Think? What's there to think about? I went through eighty-one levels, and the Demon God was right in front of me. If it weren't for the reminder from the treasure, this thing might already be in someone else's hands..."

"My perspective is such that even if ten more of me were in charge, it wouldn't be as good as the Buddhist treasure's own choice."

At this point, Long Dan clasped his hands together and silently recited a Buddhist mantra:

"Amitabha... Benefactor, although the teachings of the Kingdom of Kalachakra are divided into Mahayana and Hinayana, they ultimately share the same origin and lineage. Since the supreme treasure of Mahayana Buddhism has chosen you, you are recognized within Buddhism as a person with great affinity for Buddhism. This old monk will naturally not interfere..."

Master Longdan said that halfway through, he couldn't help but look up at Qin Guangxiao beside him:

"I wonder which sect or school this young monk belongs to..."

Looking at the burning desire in Master Longdan's eyes,

Qin Guangxiao instinctively crawled behind Ye Ran, who patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Don't be afraid. Master Longdan has recognized the Buddha-nature within you. This is an incredible opportunity..."

"Yes, yes, yes." As Ye Ran spoke, Master Longdan seemed to realize that he might have frightened Qin Guangxiao, and quickly added with a relatively amiable expression.

"You have a deep affinity for Buddhism, it would be a real pity if you didn't practice it. I'm just taking a liking to your talent. If you're willing, I'm willing to help you..."

"Master." Seeing Long Dan becoming increasingly excited as he spoke,

Ye Ran interrupted Master Longdan, "Master, please don't get agitated. Although this child has a deep affinity with Buddhism, everything should be based on his own wishes, shouldn't it...?"

Hearing Ye Ran's words, Master Long Dan also felt that they made sense. He clasped his hands together and closed his burning eyes.

Ye Ran then gently patted Qin Guangxiao's shoulder and asked seriously:

"Guangxiao, although we haven't known each other for long, I promised to take you under my wing, so I can't be irresponsible towards you." Ye Ran said, pointing to Master Longdan beside him.

"You've been living in Luo Guo for so long, so you're naturally quite clear about the current situation."

“Ever since you unleashed your potential last time, I have observed the strong Buddha-nature within you that is so intense that it is impossible to conceal. If you are willing to follow Master Longdan in practicing Buddhism, with your potential, I can guarantee that you will be the leader of Theravada Buddhism in the future. Not only that, you may even become the restorer of Theravada Buddhism.”

"Is he the same as Chen Wuxin from before...?" Qin Guangxiao looked at Ye Ran uncertainly.

Ye Ran chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes, just like Chen Wuxin's future..."

At this point, Ye Ran took another unexpected turn, "Of course, this is entirely up to your own choice. If you are unwilling, I will do my best to guide you if you come with me. However, compared to the environment here, your development may be slower, and your understanding of Buddhism may not be as profound."

Ye Ran looked at the situation seriously and said, "You can choose whatever you want. Don't worry, with me here, no one can force you."

Hearing Ye Ran's words, Qin Guangxiao glanced at Master Longdan beside him, then at Ye Ran.

Then, gritting his teeth, as if making a final decision, he looked at Ye Ran seriously and asked:

"Teacher Ye, if I'm here, what about Xiaohua and the others...?"

Hearing Qin Guangxiao thinking of others when facing his own life choices, Ye Ran smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, no matter what you choose, they will reach the Dragon Kingdom smoothly and live the life I promised them."

Hearing this, Qin Guangxiao, after a final moment of hesitation, put down his mask and looked at Ye Ran with a determined gaze:

"Teacher Ye, I think Chen Wuxin calls you that, I didn't know..."

"No, you'll just call me Teacher Ye." Ye Ran smiled and patted Guangxiao's bald head.

Qin Guangxiao nodded and said to Ye Ran:

“Teacher Ye, I am willing to stay here and study Buddhism under Master Longdan.”

"Don't you regret it?"

"I have no regrets, Teacher Ye. You are one of the few people in my life who are willing to help me. For you, I want to stay here."

"No, I don't need you for me..."

"Teacher Ye, please let me finish. I've really thought it through. Xiaohua and the others can't rely on your protection forever. I need to become stronger as soon as possible. For this goal, I'm willing to stay in the Buddhist tradition I learned as a child and dedicate myself to spiritual practice..."

Seeing Qin Guangxiao's resolute expression, Ye Ran nodded.

Finally, he squatted down and pointed at Qin Guangxiao: "When Chen Huixin left before, I gave Chen Wuxin a gift, so now I'm giving you one too..."

As he spoke, white ripples appeared between Ye Ran's fingers.

White divine light surged from Ye Ran's fingertips, slowly drifting towards Qin Guangxiao like a swimming dragon.

The light, though not dazzling, contained boundless majesty. The moment it touched Qin Guangxiao's brow, it transformed into an extremely pure primordial power, slowly seeping into his body.

Qin Guangxiao's body trembled slightly as he felt an immense Buddhist power coursing through his body. Every inch of his flesh and every bone underwent subtle changes under the baptism of this power.

His eyes gradually glowed with golden light, and his aura became increasingly calm and steady.

In an instant, the void trembled, and a majestic and solemn golden phantom appeared behind Qin Guangxiao...

The statue, clad in ancient armor, held a golden pestle, its face solemn, its eyes piercingly bright, as if no evil spirits or heretics could approach it. The golden aura emanating from the statue illuminated the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Upon seeing this, Master Longdan's face showed excitement. He immediately clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and worshipped devoutly.

An ancient and incomparably majestic Buddhist guardian power swept across the entire area.

The phantom image of the deity gradually overlapped with Qin Guangxiao's figure.

Eventually, it completely merged into his body.

The white light gradually dissipated, and Qin Guangxiao slowly opened his eyes. A flash of golden light appeared in his eyes, then vanished, replaced by calm.

He exuded an air of both fierce determination and compassionate compassion.

His physique had grown considerably larger than before, making him appear even more imposing and powerful...
