In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Xu Sheng and the little nun were already dressed and sitting cross-legged to practice.

At that time, some of the rare treasures in the old man’s space magic weapon were used by Xu Sheng to feed the dragon and the fire phoenix.

Now this wave of refining has increased the number of Xu Sheng’s pure yang souls by another thirty.

From one hundred and sixty-four to one hundred and ninety-four!

"Flying sword, rise!"

At this time, Xu Sheng pinched the Dharma seal.

uniform!

A total of one hundred and forty-one flying swords roared into the air.

Buzz!

As one hundred and forty-one flying swords flowed.

The golden sword light of the Xiaoqian Sword Formation appeared, much more condensed and powerful than before.

"I wonder if I am now capable of fighting that fake Bodhisattva Guanyin head-on?"

Feeling his own increased strength, Xu Sheng couldn't help but think to himself: "I should be able to protect myself, right? I just don't know if I can kill her."

Of course, the fake Bodhisattva Guanyin was extremely ferocious, and Xu Sheng had no intention of fighting her at this time.

Now that he and the little nun have found a new way to become stronger quickly.

Of course, we need to continue to improve until we are strong enough!

Until you are 100% sure to kill the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Besides, the baby in the nun’s belly hasn’t been born yet.

That’s right, these two are not ordinary people now, their child has not been born for such a long time.

No matter what, revenge must wait until the child is born.

While Xu Sheng was thinking about this, the little Taoist nun also opened her beautiful eyes.

The two looked at each other.

Soon they were hugging each other again.

Of course, they were just hugging each other at this time and didn't do anything else. After all, without the dragon blood and the fire phoenix blood, they could no longer perform the Great Pure Land Sutra.

Of course, the two of them left the place afterwards.

We need to find some rare treasures for the dragon and the fire phoenix so that they can continue to practice the Great Pure Land Sutra.

Of course, I don’t know where to find such rare treasures at the moment.

So Xu Sheng said that he wanted to go back to Yunhu Temple first.

He has been away from the Taoist temple for many years.

I don’t know what happened to Yunhu Temple.

He wanted to take the little nun back to see the place where he grew up in his second life.

We'll talk about it if we come across any news of rare treasures along the way.

The little nun also said that she also wanted to see the place where Xu Sheng grew up in this life.

Then the two of them set off to return to Yunhu Temple.

However, he didn't expect that before reaching Yunhu Temple, Xu Sheng, with the pregnant little Taoist nun, actually ran into his thirty-year-old junior apprentice brother Cheng Shou on the road.

Today, Chengshou is already very old.

It’s not the white-haired and youthful appearance of a practitioner, but the real old age.

His head was full of gray hair, his face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, his back could no longer stand straight, his teeth were almost all gone, and his pupils looked old.

Cheng Shou was walking on the street supported by his granddaughter, and unexpectedly he ran into Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun head-on.

At first Xu Sheng didn't recognize Cheng Shou until Cheng Shou stood in front of him in astonishment.

At this time, Xu Sheng had to return to Yunhu Temple, so he did not disguise his appearance and used Cheng Yuan's identity. Only the little Taoist nun wore a Thousand Illusions Mask to avoid being found by the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Of course, the Thousand Illusions Mask only changed her face slightly.

She still looks like a beautiful young woman.

After a moment of shock, Xu Sheng looked at Cheng Shou carefully, and recognized him the next moment.

Suddenly Xu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time is unforgiving.

The young nun didn't understand, after all, she didn't know about Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou's past.

The granddaughter next to Chengshou also didn't know why her grandfather reacted like that.

And then.

When the nun heard Xu Sheng introduce Chengshou as Xu Sheng's former junior fellow apprentice, she smiled and said a few polite words to Chengshou while touching her pregnant belly.

Afterwards, the two brothers had a conversation.

After some communication.

Xu Sheng then found out that Cheng Shou's wife had passed away.

Including the twin sisters of Chengshou’s wife who liked Xu Sheng back then have also passed away.

Now all that is left is an old man who is about to be buried and is being cared for by his descendants.

After all, Chengshou did have some experience in cultivation, so he must have lived longer than the twin sisters.

So I haven’t died of old age yet.

Of course, over the years, Chengshou has completely degenerated into a mortal.

After all, his partner is not a practitioner like the little Taoist nun who is with Xu Sheng now, but an ordinary mortal woman.

Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou didn’t actually say anything special.

Time has passed, things have changed, and people have changed. What else can I say?

We just reminisced about the past and asked each other about our current situation.

Finally, Xu Sheng took the nun's hand and said goodbye to Cheng Shou.

"I really envy you."

Looking at Xu Sheng and the little nun, the old Cheng Shou couldn't help but sighed: "Senior Brother Chengyuan."

Now that so many years have passed, Xu Sheng is still so young!

This is enough to show that Xu Sheng has made extraordinary progress in his practice over the years.

Although he did not succeed in transcending the tribulation, I am afraid that the number of Yang God souls has far exceeded that of his master Xuan Zhen back then.

These commitments can all be guessed.

Although after Chengshou returned to secular life, he and his wife lived in love for the rest of their lives.

The two people spent their happy mortal lives supporting each other.

But now he is almost dying of old age.

No one is not afraid of death.

There is no one who does not desire life and youth.

Chengshou is no exception.

Seeing that Xu Sheng not only had extraordinary cultivation and a long life, he also found a Taoist partner in love, a beautiful female cultivator who was pregnant with Xu Sheng's child.

Xu Sheng also had the happiness that ordinary people have.

On the contrary, Xu Sheng also has health and longevity.

Especially now that Chengshou feels that he is about to die of old age.

In this state, he couldn't help but envy Xu Sheng's youth even more.

You know, Chengshou's talent was better than Xu Sheng's back then!

It’s a pity that he gave up halfway!

And he chose an ordinary woman for love!

Xu Sheng also heard Cheng Shou's regret at this time.

"Our happiness just came at different times."

But Xu Sheng just smiled and said: "My child hasn't been born yet, and your granddaughter has grown up so big. Junior brother, you are much happier than me."

Cheng Shou just smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Xu Sheng didn't say anything more and left with the little nun.

Then Xu Sheng and the little nun went straight to Yunhu Temple.

We didn't encounter any fairies or any news about rare treasures along the way.

So we returned to the Taoist temple.

"Master, you are back?"

The person who presided over Yunhu Temple at this time was no longer the uncle that Xu Sheng had entrusted to him. Because that uncle had also left Yunhu Temple to travel, and no one knew where he was now.

The person who currently presides over Yunhu Temple is a disciple Xu Sheng accepted when he went down the mountain one of those times.

But now, after so many years, the children back then have grown into young adults.

"Ming Fang?"

Xu Sheng was also stunned for a moment and asked: "Are you the one presiding over the Taoist temple now?"

The disciples he accepted were of the Ming generation.

The Taoist name Mingfang was given to him by Xu Sheng back then.

I hope that he can understand the direction of his life and know how to go on in life at every stage, so that he will not fall into entanglement and confusion like Cheng Shou did back then.

At this time, Mingfang of course also saw the little Taoist nun.

Xu Sheng didn't shy away from it either.

Just say it directly and call her Master's Wife.

Ming Fang was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng actually found a Taoist partner and she was pregnant.

Of course, he immediately respectfully called her "Master's Wife".

Ming Fang also wanted to notify the disciples from other Taoist temples to come and pay their respects to Xu Sheng.

But Xu Sheng waved his hand to stop him.

Just let everyone practice on their own, there is no need to do this.

What else did Ming Fang want to say?

“Oh no!”

But unexpectedly, a young Taoist priest rushed in and said, "Master."

Now that Xu Sheng has left the Taoist temple for many years, the new disciples in the temple no longer recognize Xu Sheng.

Therefore, the master of the temple mentioned by the people who came to report was Ming Fang.

Of course Ming Fang also immediately said that Xu Sheng was the real master of Yunhu Temple.

"It doesn't matter."

But Xu Sheng simply waved his hand and said, "Ming Fang, I will pass the position of the temple master to you now. You can handle anything that comes up. I am no longer interested in handling the temple's affairs."

"Master, don't leave!"

But the young Taoist priest who came to report said: "This matter is extraordinary, involving the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism."

"What?"

The little nun and Xu Sheng were both shocked and asked, "What's going on?"

You should know that the practitioners in this world are not cultivators of immortality, but only cultivators of truth.

Mana recovers very slowly after being consumed. Most practitioners avoid cause and effect, and only a small number of practitioners will fight for various special reasons.

Although Taoism and Buddhism have always been in opposition, most of the time they practice on their own. After all, they all know that fighting will only hurt both sides.

"A spiritual mine has appeared."

The young Taoist priest did not keep the secret and said directly: "Its appearance..."

Xu Sheng soon figured out what was going on.

It turned out that a spiritual mine was discovered. The area where it was located belonged to Taoism, but it was the Buddhists who first discovered it!

Therefore, no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

It even attracted high-level Taoist and Buddhist leaders to gather together.

However, the leaders and top brass of the two major sects did not engage in direct combat or fight for life and death.

After all, this will only result in a lose-lose situation, and no one will be able to achieve enlightenment in the end!

After negotiations, the two major sects reached a consensus, which was to summon their respective disciples to fight.

In the end, the winner between the disciples will determine which side will own the spiritual mine.

Therefore, a message was sent from the Taoist headquarters, asking them to send disciples from Yunhu Temple to provide support.

This kind of competition between disciples can determine the winner.

It will not affect the core of the two major sects.

Both sides will definitely send the most talented disciples in their sect to take action!

Although taking action will consume the disciples' magic power, the foundation of the two major sects is there.

Even if a genius disciple's magic power is depleted, he can still take out some rare treasures to help the disciples who go into battle to quickly restore their magic power.

Even if one could obtain a spiritual mine, the spiritual stones in it would allow the disciples to quickly restore their magic power.

After hearing this, Xu Sheng and the little nun's eyes lit up.

I immediately decided to go there myself.

They were originally looking for something that could nourish the dragon and the fire phoenix.

The spiritual stones from such spiritual mines are often of pure energy, and their effects are no less than those of natural treasures such as spiritual fruits and herbs.

If we can get it, we can restore the Jiaolong and the Fire Phoenix.

You can even use it for your own practice.

With Xu Sheng's current strength, let alone a genius disciple, even the leaders of contemporary Buddhism are probably no match for him.

But it was naturally impossible for Xu Sheng to exert all his strength.

Otherwise, wouldn't the news that Yunhuguan Chengyuan has the powerful cultivation level of more than a hundred Yangshen souls spread throughout the cultivation world?

If the fake Bodhisattva Guanyin hears it, she might guess that it was Cheng Yuan who intercepted her before!

Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Sheng to openly display his full strength.

But now Xu Sheng still looks so young, there will be no problem for him to fight as a "Taoist genius disciple".

If he could help the Dao Sect to seize the spiritual mine, the Dao Sect would definitely give a lot of the spiritual mine to Xu Sheng, who had made great contributions. However, he might not get a lot.

In short, Xu Sheng and the little nun rushed over immediately.

On the way, they were also hesitating whether to take action as talented disciples, or to wait and see, wait for the spiritual mine to fall into the hands of Buddhism, and then hide their identities and secretly take away all the spiritual stones.

The latter, of course, benefits the most.

It just seems more selfish.

In the end, I haven’t thought it through yet, so I’ll just stop thinking about it.

Think about it once you get there, take it one step at a time and adapt to circumstances.

Soon Xu Sheng and the pregnant little Taoist nun arrived at the place where Taoist and Buddhist masters gathered.

It was in a valley.

On one side, there were bald monks of all ages gathered, and on the other side, there were Taoists of all ages gathered.

After arriving at the place, Xu Sheng also reported his own Taoist name, and the little Taoist nun also reported the fake Taoist name that "Ciyin" gave her at Longquan Temple.

Seeing Xu Sheng and the pregnant Taoist nun appear, many Taoists and monks were shocked.

Some people simply shook their heads.

He felt that Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun were obsessed with lust and were not firm in their determination to pursue the Tao, so he did not have any expectations for their cultivation.
