The monk finished by performing a great roc spreading its wings, then put his hands together and muttered, "May Buddha bless you."

"Monk, what's your name?"

Su Yao tiptoed and waved to the monk, asking his name openly, wanting to make his acquaintance.

“Amitabha, my name is Fanyin, a Buddhist disciple from the holy land of Buddhism.”

Fan Yin approached Su Yao and bowed politely.

"So you're a disciple of the Buddhist holy land? That's impressive."

Su Yao smiled and nudged Jian Wuhen beside her. The two of them took out a treasure from their spatial storage.

"I have long heard that your Buddhist holy land has performed many good deeds and saved all sentient beings."

"Moreover, I've heard that your Buddhist practice of begging for alms is a form of spiritual cultivation, and that it can bring you the Buddha's blessing."

“We have never visited any Buddhist holy sites.”

"These two treasures are offered to Buddha as compensation. We hope that the Buddha's disciples will accept them and grant us Buddha's protection."

Fan Yin did not refuse the gift too much and politely accepted it.

"May I ask your names, esteemed benefactors? I will certainly record them upon my return to the holy land."

"I am Su Yao from the Haoyue Sect."

"I am Jian Wuhen of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion."

The two men bowed respectfully; their names were renowned figures in the cultivation world.

"Me too, me too, I also have a gift to give to Buddha."

"I am Li Yifeng from Linglu Palace."

The man in blue rode his griffin past Chi Yuan and hurriedly took out a treasure from his spatial storage.

"They're all favorites to win the championship, so how come there's such a big difference in skill level?"

Shen Yulou scratched his head, carefully comparing the strength differences between Li Yifeng and the remaining three.

Even among people, there are differences.

"Just like you and me, isn't this perfectly normal?"

Chi Yuan looked at Shen Yulou, who was supporting his head with doting eyes, and felt a strong urge to do the same.

"I'm not a human being."

The other person rejected your sweet talk and dropped a bombshell on you.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your name?"

Finally, Fan Yin turned her gaze to Chi Yuan.

Everyone present gave gifts to Fan Yin, but Chi Yuan stood out from the rest.

"My name is Anonymous. There's no need for us to get to know each other. I'm just a humble cultivator, not worth mentioning."

Chi Yuan didn't want to get involved with others, so he ran away.

All he wants to do now is stick close to Zai Zai and Shen Yu Lou, and spend time with them as a trio.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Fan Yin wanted to chase after Chi Yuan after seeing his departing figure, but Chi Yuan ran even faster after hearing this.

"Chi Yuan, why do you seem to have changed?"

Shen Yulou watched with amusement as Chi Yuan seemed to want to stay far away.

What does "i" mean?

"It means you don't really like communicating with others; you're rather introverted."

"Oh, okay, fine, no problem."

"It's enough to be able to communicate with you and the baby."

Chi Yuan's legs flew off like whirlwinds, quickly leaving the chanting behind him behind.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Fan Yin spun the prayer beads in her hand in frustration and returned to her original spot with a solemn expression.

"But what happened?"

Su Yao and Li Yifeng were curious about Fan Yin's performance.

However, he simply shook his head silently, pushed their hands away, and left.

"Are all Buddhists this strange? They're fine one second and then they ignore you the next."

Jian Wuhen was somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Yin's performance and was about to complain when Su Yao covered his mouth.

When are you going to get rid of this bad habit of gossiping behind people's backs?

She grabbed Jian Wuhen by the collar and dragged him away.

Li Yifeng then randomly selected a direction and began to move forward.

Chi Yuan ran and ran, but no one knew where he had gone. Thick fog surrounded him, and in the distance, a divine palace stood faintly, with cranes flying about.

"Congratulations! It seems you've found another treasure."

Shen Yulou stretched out his hand, and the spinning ice crystal chain dispelled the thick fog in front of Chi Yuan, making the shadow of the distant palace clearer.

The ethereal music cleared the mind of the Chiyuan altar, and the dew falling from the magnificent eaves made his hair shine with brilliance.
