Li Shiming checked the injuries of Venerable Hui Jing. He found that the Nascent Soul of Venerable Hui Jing was extremely weak.
He doesn't have any elixir that can heal Nascent Soul injuries, and it's impossible for such an elixir to fall into his hands.
Venerable Hui Jing can only recover from his injuries on his own.
Li Shiming opened the Nascent Soul-level spiritual vein of the fourth-grade meridian-locking disk to Venerable Hui Jing, and gave Venerable Hui Jing an order to practice and recover on his own.
Venerable Hui Jing sat cross-legged. His cultivation had become an instinct. Even though he had lost his memory, his Nascent Soul was still able to control the spiritual energy entering his body according to his main cultivation method and enter a state of cultivation.
Li Shiming observed for a while and found that although Venerable Hui Jing's Nascent Soul was seriously injured, it would not get worse after he started practicing.
If I want to recover from my injuries, I don’t know how long it will take.
You have to know that a Yuanying Patriarch's retreat and cultivation would take several months or even years. Li Shiming knew very little about such a situation.
If you want Venerable Hui Jing to recover from his injuries sooner, you still need a fourth-grade healing elixir.
"Let's just wait for Huijing to recover on his own!" Li Shiming spoke helplessly like a poor man.
He had a lot of wealth, even some fourth-grade spiritual objects, but when he faced the injuries of Venerable Hui Jing, he still felt his poverty.
He observed the image of Venerable Hui Jing, thinking in his heart that with Venerable Hui Jing's appearance, he was afraid that as long as Venerable Hui Jing showed up outside the computer room, the cultivators who saw him would guess Venerable Hui Jing's identity.
Although it is an extremely reassuring thing to have the Yuanying Patriarch protecting you by your side, it would still be extremely uneconomical if you were really targeted by Qianye Temple because of this matter.
"Hui Jing, can you grow your hair?" Li Shiming issued an order to Venerable Hui Jing through a reverse unequal servant contract.
Asking a monk, and a venerable one in the Nascent Soul stage, to grow hair, if he dares to tell such a request to any venerable, the venerable will beat him on the head.
But Venerable Hui Jing practiced his main skills while obeying Li Shiming's orders.
White hair began to grow out from Venerable Hui Jing's originally bald head. Soon he had a head full of white hair, and the white hair bent over and formed a Taoist bun on his head.
Li Shiming carefully examined the computer room space with his mind. Although Venerable Hui Jing had grown hair, his face was still recognizable.
He maintained a spiritual connection with Venerable Hui Jing, and as he was thinking, Venerable Hui Jing's face changed and his white hair turned black.
After counting his breaths, what he saw was no longer the Venerable Hui Jing from before. Now Venerable Hui Jing had turned into a young man with black hair.
It was only then that Li Shiming realized that when a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he can change his appearance at will, but cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage no longer care about their appearance.
Li Yuanba enjoyed the treatment of a Nascent Soul ancestor. Ancestor Lu forcibly tore open the Boundary Mountain Array of the righteous forces and took him through the Boundary Mountain Array.
At the boundary mountain checkpoint of the Senluo Sect, Patriarch Lu kept him and then headed towards the mountain gate.
"Junior Brother Li!" A surprised voice came from the Senluo Sect's Jieshan checkpoint, and the three Jindan elders Jiang Pu, Meng Sheng and Shi Can flew out together.
Patriarch Lu made quite a big fuss. They were preparing to meet the Yuanying Patriarch, but when they flew out they only saw Li Yuanba.
Ever since Li Yuanba was captured by Venerable Huike, Jiang Pu and others have fallen into deep self-blame. If they had not asked Li Yuanba for help, perhaps Li Yuanba would not have been captured.
"Ancestor Lu saved you, and it is us who let you down and put you in danger!" Jiang Pu came in front of Li Yuanba and bowed solemnly to apologize. The other two Jindan elders followed suit and bowed to express their apologies.
"It's none of your business. Even if it doesn't happen this time, there will be a next time. Qianye Temple is determined to catch me!" Li Yuanba quickly helped Jiang Pu up and said.
This is also true. Since all the Venerables have been dispatched, if they fail to lure out Li Yuanba this time, they will find another way to trap him.
It is impossible for him to stay in Jieshan City all the time. Even Jieshan City is not necessarily safe. For Venerable Huike, it is not difficult to pass the Jieshan checkpoint.
Of course, after this incident, if Qianye Temple takes any action against Li Yuanba again, it will definitely trigger a Nascent Soul War between Qianye Temple and Senluo Sect.
If Patriarch Lu had not felt that he had gained a great advantage this time, he would not have given up so easily.
From the righteous side, the two Jindan elders Ying Hou and Xin Tong also sent news that Patriarch Lu had been discovered by them through the righteous formation.
In fact, as long as the Yuanying Patriarch does not use secret methods to hide his own breath, his whereabouts cannot escape the monitoring of various formations.
The fact that Patriarch Lu broke through the formation and entered the sphere of influence of the righteous path had a significant impact.
However, the relevant information of this matter was also notified by Senluo Sect to the five major sects.
Qianye Temple was the one who was at fault in this incident, no wonder Patriarch Lu was angry. Apart from Qianye Temple, Shushan Sect and Qianhuan Sect stayed out of the matter.
Qianye Temple captured Patriarch Lu's talented disciple, which involved the personal affairs of the Yuanying Patriarch. Patriarch Lu's response was supported by major righteous sects.
Over the years, due to the inheritance of various magical powers, Qianye Temple has acted extremely arrogantly, which has long made other major sects dissatisfied.
Just like the Shushan Sect, the venerable of Qianye Temple actually stopped Li Shiming, who was also the disciple of the Yuanying Patriarch. If it weren't for the warning from Patriarch Fan at that time, Li Shiming might have been captured by Qianye Temple.
There are many of these things, which seem to be trivial, but when accumulated, they are enough to affect his impression among the big sects.
Li Yuanba did not know what was going on behind the scenes, so he replied to the righteous Jindan elder who was concerned about him.
He also learned from Ying Hou that the righteous side was negotiating with the Senluo Sect and the Jieshan checkpoint was in a completely suspended state.
After he was captured, the Senluo Sect stopped all transactions, even though doing so would have an impact on the Senluo Sect, but Patriarch Lu's anger was obvious, and the sect needed to respond accordingly.
Li Yuanba didn't want to ask about these things anymore. After being caught this time, he felt that his strength was still too weak.
He has enough resources for cultivation, as well as a magic weapon like Wanjianfeng that can help him improve his sword intent in the Jindan stage. The only thing he needs to do now is to continuously improve his strength.
He needs to take advantage of the time when Chiba Temple is weak to improve his strength to a level that is sufficient to protect himself.
This is not something impossible. If Chiba Temple wants to produce another venerable, it will take at least a hundred years, and this is still the most ideal situation.
In more than a hundred years, with Li Yuanba's speed of cultivation, although he cannot say that he will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, he can still guarantee that he will reach the level of a great elder.
Li Yuanba bid farewell to Jiang Pu and the other three Jindan elders and returned to the Jieshan Town Guard House.
Although he was captured by Qianye Temple, this did not affect Jieshan City, which remained the same as when he left.
The news of his arrest alarmed at least the Jindan stage cultivators, and the cultivators in Jieshan City were not yet at the level to know the high-level information.
As soon as he came back, he immediately applied to the sect for partial authority over the Boundary Mountain Formation.
In the past, he did not pay much attention to the authority of the Boundary Mountain Array. Anyway, it was very easy for him to enter and exit the Boundary Mountain Array.
But after this incident, he realized that he had underestimated his own safety.
His application was approved very quickly. The authority he requested for the Boundary Mountain Array was not the authority to control it, but the authority to share the exploration of the Boundary Mountain Array.
The Yuanying Patriarch might be able to use secret methods to hide his realm in order to deceive the formation.
If the Yuanying Patriarch wants to force his way through the formation, unless he possesses the ability of a formation master and the same strong computing and analytical skills as Li Shiming, he can only use his powerful strength to tear open the formation like Patriarch Lu.
If one forces his way through the formation, the secret method of hiding the realm will no longer work, and the formation will discover the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
This is exactly the function Li Yuanba needed, to discover the appearance of the Yuanying Patriarch at the Jieshan Checkpoint as early as possible. The distance from the Jieshan Checkpoint to Jieshan City was enough for him to escape after wearing the heart hoop to enhance his spirit and using 'Lotus Step by Step'.
Even if Venerable Huike used the technique of "A World Away from Home", he still had the confidence to escape at this distance.
The impact of Li Yuanba's arrest lasted for half a month, causing great losses to various forces.
The incident was not resolved until Qianye Temple took the initiative to promise a series of compensation plans to Senluo Sect and compensated Shushan Sect and Qianhuan Sect for the losses.
However, the far-reaching impact of this incident did not end with the opening of the Jieshan Checkpoint.
The spies from various sects did not know the details of what happened in Qianye Temple. They only knew that Venerable Hui Jing was affected by his inner demon and had a fierce battle with Venerable Hui Ke. Then Patriarch Lu joined the battle and injured Venerable Hui Jing.
After that, there was no news about the whereabouts of Venerable Hui Jing. All major sects believed that Venerable Hui Jing was in Qianye Temple recuperating from his injuries and fighting against his inner demons.
According to Patriarch Lu, the person involved, even though Venerable Hui Jing had recovered from his injuries, his strength had also dropped significantly, and he could no longer match Patriarch Lu in combat power.
Half a month later, in Qianye Temple, Venerable Huike was sitting in the Prajna Hall.
The Prajna Hall was destroyed by Venerable Hui Jing, and many cracks appeared on the outer walls, but those damages did not affect the Buddha statues on the walls.
The Buddha statue in the damaged part of the wall fills the damaged area like a layer of light curtain.
Venerable Huike helplessly watched the damage to the Prajna Hall. Although the Buddha statues that remained in the form of the true meaning were not affected, the resources needed to repair the Prajna Hall were also a huge consumption.
Of course, compared with the matter of Venerable Hui Jing, the restoration of the Prajna Hall is not a big deal.
After ending the confrontation with Patriarch Lu, Venerable Huike returned to the temple, but did not find Venerable Huijing.
After investigation, we found out that Li Yuanba had left with the body of Venerable Hui Jing.
Venerable Huike did not think that Li Yuanba would be able to do anything with Venerable Huijing's body, let alone Venerable Huijing's Nascent Soul returning to his body later.
News came from the Senluo Sect that Li Yuanba was taken back to the sect by Patriarch Lu.
Venerable Huike now suspects that it was Patriarch Lu who found the injured Venerable Huijing and brought him back to Senluo Sect. This is definitely not what he wants to see.
However, judging from the current intelligence, Patriarch Lu should not have discovered Venerable Hui Jing, otherwise, given Patriarch Lu's temper, it would be impossible for him not to spread the news.
What reassured Venerable Huike the most was that Venerable Huijing was still alive. Venerable Huijing had left his spiritual imprint on the forbidden cave in Qianye Temple.
If Venerable Hui Jing dies, the spiritual imprint will not disappear immediately, but it will at least fade away slowly.
Half a month has passed and the spiritual imprint has not changed at all, which shows that Venerable Hui Jing is alive and well.
"Amitabha!" A Buddhist chant rang out in the Prajna Hall, and an old monk walked into the Prajna Hall.
"Brother Huikong, I'm sorry to disturb your practice!" Venerable Huike hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"What happened to Junior Brother Hui Jing?" Venerable Hui Kong asked in a deep voice.
He was not satisfied with Venerable Huike. During this period, it was Venerable Huike's turn to look after Chiba Temple, but he caused so many troubles to Chiba Temple.
Of course, Venerable Hui Jing is even stronger than Venerable Hui Ke, but something went wrong when Venerable Hui Jing was fighting against his inner demon in the temple, and Venerable Hui Ke did not handle it in time, which led to Patriarch Lu coming to attack him.
Although he did not say any words of blame, his attitude was expressed.
"Hui Jing was influenced by his inner demon and severely injured the four monks who were reading the monks' will. I wanted to hold him back in the Thirty-Three Heavens, but the old demon Lu came and injured Hui Jing, and then Hui Jing disappeared.
However, Hui Jing is still alive, but I don’t know where he is or what his current situation is. Hui Jing was seriously injured that day, and he didn’t bring any healing elixirs with him, and he is in the process of a mental attack! "Venerable Hui Ke said without hiding anything.
Venerable Huikong was like a half-elder to him, and he was taught by Venerable Huikong when he was young.
"Mobilize all the secret agents and activate the spies from all the major sects. We must find the whereabouts of Junior Brother Hui Jing. Before that, I will not be in seclusion anymore and will handle this matter with you!" Venerable Huikong ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, senior brother!" Venerable Huike bowed and responded.
"In addition, start the training program and begin examining all the great arhats!" Venerable Huikong then ordered.
Venerable Huike was stunned. He had not expected that Venerable Huikong would have such a plan.
This means that Venerable Huikong is not optimistic about Venerable Huijing's situation, and the probability of Venerable Huijing returning to Qianye Temple is extremely small.
Although Venerable Huikong did not cultivate any supernatural powers, his long-term practice of spiritual skills gave him a sense of many things.
Most monks have this kind of perception, but his perception is more sensitive and accurate.
"Is Hui Jing...?" Venerable Huike did not say it out loud. He had been with Venerable Hui Jing for hundreds of years. The thought that Venerable Hui Jing might never come back was extremely difficult to accept even for a monk.
"From my perception, Junior Brother Hui Jing is extremely far away from Qianye Temple, and may not even be in this world anymore!" Venerable Huikong also had a strange look in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
Even though he had great confidence in his own perception, he was still very puzzled by the situation of Venerable Hui Jing in his perception.
