Chapter 122: Wooden Slips to Save All Living Things
When the monks heard what Li Fan said, they were all stunned at first, then there was an uproar, with mixed reactions.
Some were full of disdain, and shouted in mockery: "Where did this little Qi-refining cultivator come from, talking nonsense here?"
"That's right, you're asking people to disperse their energy. Why don't you disperse it yourself?"
Some were thoughtful: "Could it be that Daoist friend means that the monster holding the wooden stick only targets monks and not mortals?"
"Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, it is not impossible. The scene here is, to some extent, very similar to the weirdness in the sect ruins."
This statement resonated with many monks.
"Seeing that the blue ox is about to pull the cart into the Cloud Water Palace, we don't have much time left. We can give it a try."
"But that stick is really powerful. Maybe it's because of our cultivation that we can save our lives. If we lose our cultivation and become ordinary people, we might be killed by a stick."
"Hiss, what this fellow Taoist said is not without reason."
Everyone was talking about it, but for a moment no one dared to step forward and try.
Amid the hesitation, a red-haired monk seemed to be a little overwhelmed. He yelled and looked at everyone unhappily: "What's there to worry about? It's just a matter of losing your power! Anyway, I have the "Taishang Yuanshi Zhenjing" and I can recover quickly. I'll do it!"
As he spoke, he flew and landed in front of the thatched cottage. Then he started to practice the "Taishang Yuanshi Zhenjing". In just a moment, all his cultivation was gone, and he became a mortal.
Li Fan's heart moved, and his murderous intent immediately locked onto him.
The red-haired monk was a bit careless before, but now facing the tall and ferocious monster with his mortal body, he couldn't help but become nervous.
He swallowed and moved forward bit by bit.
Everyone present focused their attention on him. Suddenly, there was silence all around.
As he slowly approached the thatched hut, the mouthless monster still ignored him. The stick monster stared at him for a long time, raising the stick in his hand several times but never bringing it down.
In this way, the red-haired man arrived at the door of the thatched hut safely.
The faint sound of reading in the room suddenly stopped.
The door swung open, and a somewhat old voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
The red-haired man showed a happy expression on his face and strode into the house.
The door was then closed, and the two door gods were still guarding outside with a fierce look in their eyes.
The area around the blue ox pulling the cart suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.
"Did it really work?!"
"This Qi Refining Junior, this Taoist friend is really smart. I don't know how to address him."
"Damn it! Liu Zhi got there first. No, I have to go in too!"
Of course, there are still many cultivators who remain calm: "No hurry, wait until Liu Zhi comes out and see what kind of opportunity is inside this thatched house."
"That's right. He is just a mortal now anyway. He can't run away even if he wants to."
…
The surroundings were in a mess, but Li Fan frowned and stared at the thatched hut.
Because, the moment Liu Zhi entered the house, the invisible murderous intent that was locked on him was ineffective.
This situation has never happened since Li Fan mastered this magical power.
There is no killing intention, and it is used as a false destiny. In various occasions, it is always beneficial.
And now...
The being in this thatched hut might be a very terrifying being.
Other cultivators did not have the same worries as Li Fan. Five Qi-refining cultivators rushed into the thatched hut one after another.
As for those foundation-building monks, they are still cautiously waiting and watching.
There was no change in the thatched hut, only the sound of reading that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years echoed in everyone's hearts.
The sound seemed to be a little clearer than when I first heard it, but it was still unclear and I couldn't make out the specific content.
Although the monks were extremely anxious, they had no choice but to wait patiently.
The next morning.
Without anyone noticing, the six people who entered yesterday suddenly appeared in the open space outside the thatched hut.
They were lying all over the ground, but they were still breathing, as if they were just in a deep sleep.
"Wait, didn't they all lose their cultivation and become mortals? How come they have all recovered their cultivation now?"
Soon, some monks noticed that something was wrong.
"Not only have their cultivations been fully restored, it seems that their cultivations have all reached a higher level than before?"
"That's right. Liu Zhi was in the early stage of Qi Refining before. After just one night, he has become the middle stage of Qi Refining!"
"This person who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining has also broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining!"
"The one in the late stage of Qi Refining didn't make a breakthrough. But his aura has become much more solid, so I guess there are some benefits."
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the looks they gave towards the thatched hut were completely different.
Opportunity, great opportunity!
How much resources and time can be saved by indiscriminately forcibly upgrading a small realm!
The higher the cultivation level, the higher the value!
Unable to wait any longer, the monks woke up the six people and asked them about what happened in the thatched hut yesterday.
The six people's statements were consistent, but everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
"You just read a book in there for a whole day?"
"The teaching material is a wooden scroll floating in the air?"
"You can't even remember what you were reading?"
…
It's a bit weird, but I'm not lying.
With the opportunity in front of them, after hesitating for a moment, all the Qi-refining monks present entered the house with their Qi-refining energy.
Chen An was about to step forward, but he turned around to look at Li Fan, and saw that he didn't move, which made him feel a little strange.
He humbly asked, "Friend Li, is there anything strange here?"
Li Fan shook his head: "There shouldn't be any problem. But I'm already in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the opportunities here are of little use to me. Daoist friend, you can go in by yourself, don't worry about me. I'll observe for a while."
Chen An hesitated for a moment, but still bowed to Li Fan and then entered the thatched hut.
However, the foundation-building monks have not taken any action yet.
Zhou Ningchang explained the reason to Li Fan.
It turns out that although cultivators above the foundation-building stage can disperse their cultivation through the "Tai Shang Yuan Shi Zhen Jing", their own Taoist foundation is still there, between reality and illusion, and will not be dissolved.
What they are hesitant about is whether they will be regarded as mortals if they do this, so everyone is waiting and watching.
After waiting for a long time, a foundation-building cultivator finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Try it first.
After all his cultivation had been dissipated, he was able to enter the thatched cottage safely without any accidents.
So all the foundation-building monks were overjoyed and followed him in.
Even the only Jindan Zhenren in the field couldn't resist the temptation.
As for the six cultivators who had entered yesterday, they were still thinking of using the same trick again to reach another small realm.
As expected, he was beaten out with sticks.
So they left one after another, wanting to bring their relatives and friends here before the green ox pulled the cart into the Yunshui Palace.
Soon, Li Fan was the only one left outside the thatched hut.
