In this way, the strength of her soul will not change due to the strength of her body.
Kong Yuan now also had the idea that she was the reincarnation of the Peacock King. But the thought that if her disciple was really the reincarnation of the Peacock King, she would one day be tricked by the Buddha into going to Mount Ling, made her very uneasy.
She said, "You can't possibly be the reincarnation of the Peacock King. Don't be fooled by that Buddha."
Chu Nian said, "Of course. How could I possibly be the reincarnation of the Peacock King? My understanding of Buddhism is extremely profound; that Peacock King cannot compare to me."
"What are you saying? You're looking down on the Peacock King! Why don't you just fly to heaven?" Kong Yuan thought to herself, but then she thought it might be a good thing that her disciple thought this way. So she said, "Your comprehension is exceptionally high, and you've always grasped Buddhist teachings much faster than others. You're sure to have a bright and far-reaching future on the Buddhist path. You really shouldn't be bound by the title of Peacock King. Don't come to Mount Ling unnecessarily in the future, lest the Buddha Tathagata tries to deceive you again. Who knows, your future achievements might be..." greater than the Buddha Tathagata? The words of praise stuck in her throat—it was too absurd!
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Okay, Master, I will definitely not go to Mount Ling again unless there's something wrong." But the problem is, what if she has something to do? Her disciple said that the vegetarian food on Mount Ling is very particular. She has been here for a few days and has secretly eaten some of it. It is indeed very delicious. Next time, she will call her disciple to come and steal some food together.
Kong Yuan had no idea what she was thinking. He assumed she had taken his words to heart, and his heart was slightly relieved.
Meanwhile, several nuns of the Wu generation gathered in the distance. Although they were already far from where Kong Yuan and Chu Nian were resting, they were still cautious and used their spiritual senses to communicate, discussing how to separate Kong Yuan and Wu Nian.
That way they'll have a chance to steal the magic weapon from Wu Nian!
After some discussion, the nuns finally came up with a plan. Wu Ning, who had accidentally obtained a demonic talisman from the demon race, threw it out.
Kong Yuan suddenly sensed a surge of demonic energy. His expression changed slightly, and he said, "Wu Nian, you wait here and do not stray far." After saying that, he rushed towards the place where the demonic energy was emanating.
Although she was gone, Chu Nian was protected by a magical array. However, while this array could protect against outsiders, it did not protect against the other nuns of Emei who possessed the tokens.
No sooner had Kong Yuan left than Wu Si and the others returned. They feigned surprise and asked where Kong Yuan had gone, to which Chu Nian answered truthfully with an innocent expression.
"Junior Sister Wu Nian, why don't you take out the magic weapon that Buddha gave you and let us see it?" Wu Lin said with a harmless smile.
Chu Nian immediately raised her hand and showed several Buddhist classics, saying, "Here, these are them."
Wu Lin's expression immediately changed, and he said angrily, "Junior Sister Wu Nian, are you kidding us?!"
Wu Si quickly added, "Junior Sister Wu Nian, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring out several sets of scriptures that we often recite in the nunnery? It's not like we haven't seen them before. Junior Sister Wu Lin wants to see the Dharma treasure that Buddha gave you, so don't hide it away and be reluctant to show it to others."
Chu Nian said, "These classic texts were indeed personally given to us by the Buddha. Believe it or not, it's up to you." With that, she raised her hand and the classic texts disappeared.
The nuns sensed something was off about her technique.
Wu Si asked, "Junior Sister, wasn't your cultivation crippled? But I see you storing and releasing these Buddhist scriptures, and it seems you can still use storage artifacts!"
Chu Nian said frankly, "My body has recovered to about 70-80%, so I can naturally use storage artifacts."
Wu Si asked warily, "Your skills have also recovered?"
Chu Nian: "No, not at all." She is now using the magical energy she brought with her. The original owner's power is gone and can't be recovered.
The nuns immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If the original owner's former skills were still intact, they would never have dared to have any improper thoughts. Although the original owner was not a top expert, she would still have no problem dealing with them.
Wu Ning said, "Junior Sister Wu Nian, we are all fellow disciples. You can't keep this treasure to yourself like this. You know we suffered a lot and endured a lot of scorn from the monks of Mount Ling while searching for you!"
Mentioning this made them all feel incredibly frustrated. They were clearly among the best of the Emei disciples, but once they arrived at Mount Ling, they felt like nothing at all—the contrast was too great!
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Senior Sister, how can you focus all your energy on cultivation if you care so much about what others think?"
Upon hearing her words, Wusi recalled the scene when she reprimanded him on Mount Ling, and said coldly, "Alright, Wunian, we are all older than you. You have no right to put on the same face as your master and lecture us."
Chu Nian asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Wusi, is this how I usually act when Master teaches you?"
Wu Si's lips twitched: It doesn't seem so, but Wu Nian, as the junior sister, lecturing them, the senior sisters, makes her extremely displeased—does she even know who she is?
Chu Nian chuckled coolly, "Master is always very serious when he teaches me. It seems Master dotes on Senior Sister!"
Wu Si immediately snorted and said, "Master clearly dotes on you the most. When did she ever..." But she swallowed the words back. She couldn't let her fellow disciples know that Master Kong Yuan only had eyes for his junior sister; how could she face them after returning to Qingyun Nunnery if that happened?
The other nuns were not interested in which disciple Yu Kongyuan preferred; they only wanted to see what treasures Chu Nian had obtained from Buddha.
Wuqing said, "Alright, Junior Sister Wunian, stop beating around the bush. What magic weapon did the Buddha give you? Take it out now!"
Chu Nian looked completely innocent: "Didn't you all see that just now?"
Wu Lin said, "Who are you trying to fool with a few tattered scriptures?"
As the nuns spoke, they had already surrounded Chu Nian. After Wu Lin finished speaking, he reached out and pushed Chu Nian.
Chu Nian: "Senior sisters, you probably don't know this, but my master has already cast a spell on me. Not only can she track my location, but she can also find out what I'm doing."
Wu Si chuckled and said, "Alright, junior sister, stop trying to scare us. I already knew about the tracking spell Master used on you, but that's all it is—tracking. She has no idea what happened to you here."
Chu Nian then smiled and said, "Oh, so may I ask, senior sisters, what are you planning to do?"
Wu Ning said, "We don't plan to do anything, we just want to see the magic treasure that Buddha gave you. Hurry up and take it out!"
