Lin Jingting gritted her teeth in anger, but when she turned her head, she saw Chu Nian lying on the table with half of her pretty face showing and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up. She became even more furious and said angrily, "Nian Nian, you didn't faint at all!"
Chu Nian finally couldn't help but giggle and sat up straight.
Lin Jingting's face was so sullen it looked like a bun, and her complexion was ashen.
Seeing this, Tathagata returned to the table and sat down, laughing, "Wunian, so you didn't faint! Luckily, I've always had a stance, and a firm one at that, so I didn't agree to this kid's nonsense."
Lin Jingting: "How is this doing something frivolous? This is helping Niannian."
Tathagata curled his lip indifferently, and then asked Chu Nian, "Wunian, how do you think your master tracked your location when you were on Demon Mountain?"
Chu Nian smiled wryly and said helplessly, "How would I know!" At that time, he was still Wu Nian.
Moreover, Wu Nian knew nothing about this matter until Lin Jingting mentioned it today. Chu Nian actually suspected that she might not be able to discover the "tricks" that Lin Jingting couldn't find either.
But with Lin Jingting and her strength, which were on par with Tathagata, how could they not discover the tampering that a Mahayana cultivator had done to this physical body? Especially since this physical body was being used by Chu Nian herself.
This is very strange.
Chu Nian stroked his chin and pondered for a while before saying, "You all wait here, I'll be right back." With that, he flashed out of the Wunian Tower.
Buddha stared blankly in the direction she disappeared, somewhat bewildered. He tried again at the door, window, and wall, but was still blocked by the light barrier.
"She..." Buddha asked, somewhat incredulously, "How did she get out?"
Lin Jingting pondered, "It seems that if I really want to walk alongside her, I still have to keep working hard!"
Chu Nian arrived outside an unnamed hall of Qingyun Nunnery. This hall was where the headmaster and disciples would kneel and pay homage during every major ceremony. It housed many of Qingyun Nunnery's distinguished predecessors, somewhat resembling the ancestral hall of a large family in the secular world.
Disciples of Mahayana masters like Wusi and Wunian were said to have their blood mixed with their master's blood before being sent to this nameless temple.
Wu Nian lived in this nunnery from birth and has been Kong Yuan's disciple since she had memories. Therefore, the fact that her blood was mixed with Kong Yuan's must have happened before she had memories. She has no memory of this, and Wu Nian doesn't even know that it happened.
Chu Nian only learned about the process of becoming a disciple at Qingyun Temple because she had read through all the books in the temple's collection and found relevant information in a history book of Qingyun Temple.
Such a thing could only be known by those who experienced it firsthand, and probably only by the head nun who was in charge of the nunnery's affairs. So, although there were many nuns in the nunnery, no one had ever mentioned it.
Chu Nian pondered that there was something fishy about the blood fusion incident and was about to step into the ancestral hall-like temple to investigate when Kong Yuan's somewhat stern voice sounded behind him: "Wu Nian, this is the place of ancestral worship. On days other than the ancestral worship, the sect leader will lead the disciples inside. No disciple is allowed to enter."
Chu Nian was quite certain that there was something wrong with this physical body, and it was probably related to the blood fusion.
Kong Yuan had already arrived in front of Chu Nian while he was speaking.
Chu Nian said calmly, "Understood, Master. This disciple is returning." Then she vanished without a trace.
Kong Yuan stood there, stunned, her lips twitching. She turned back and took a deep look at the nunnery, then sighed deeply and turned to leave.
Chu Nian hadn't actually gone far; instead, she had slipped into her spatial artifact. Seeing that Kong Yuan had left, she released Xiao Jin, letting him carry the spatial artifact into the nunnery to investigate.
They soon discovered that the temple had a secret room that required activating a mechanism to open.
This level of mechanism was not difficult for Xiao Jin to solve. After a short while, he entered the secret chamber and saw many crystal bottles wrapped in magic. However, with Xiao Jin's abilities, he could still detect that the crystal bottles contained blood, which should be the blood of the master and his disciples who had merged.
Numerous crystal bottles were placed on a large table, almost filling it completely. They were inscribed with words written with magic, bearing the name of the blood owner.
Xiao Jin did indeed find a small bottle engraved with the names Wu Nian and Kong Yuan.
Because of the limitations of this blood fusion technique, Chu Nian didn't even dare to extend her spiritual power, fearing that Kong Yuan would discover it. At this moment, sensing through her soul connection with Xiao Jin that Xiao Jin's mood was not quite right, she asked telepathically, "Have you discovered something?"
Xiao Jin: "Put me into the spatial artifact first."
Chu Nian used magic to take him back.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Jin instantly drew an intricate array diagram on the ground using magic, saying, "This is the array diagram on the crystal bottle."
Chu Nian stared at it for a while, then frowned and said, "It feels so complicated."
Xiao Jin continued, "Not only that, I also feel the energy emanating from these array diagrams and... and..."
Seeing that he hesitated several times before speaking, Chu Nian asked in confusion, "With what? Is it hard to explain?"
Xiao Jin: "This is very strange. I suspect that these crystal bottles were made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Chu Nian's eyes widened in shock, and she asked in horror, "You mean, you sensed Jing Ting's magical power from these crystal bottles?"
Xiao Jin nodded solemnly.
Chu Nian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go out and take the spatial artifact with you and leave this place first."
She sent Xiao Jin away, and after he left the nunnery with the spatial artifact, Chu Nian put him away, then flashed out again and returned to her Wunian Tower.
Lin Jingting and Rulai were still there. Rulai had taken out a few more snacks from the pile he had put away earlier and was "sharing" them with Lin Jingting. However, judging from his pale face, Chu Nian suspected that Lin Jingting had forced him to take these things out.
Having lived through several human civilizations, Lin Jingting's personal space must be quite well-stocked with food, drink, and other necessities. This guy's personality is still like a child's, sigh!
Chu Nian sighed inwardly: she was about to lose all her worries over this brat.
"Jingting, take a look at this array diagram. Do you recognize it?" Chu Nian said, waving her hand to show the array diagram that Xiao Jin had just drawn for her on the table.
Lin Jingting looked closely and asked in surprise, "Where did you see this array diagram? I drew it on a pile of bottles when I was learning arrays before."
Chu Nian asked with a dark face, "How many did you draw?"
Lin Jingting said blankly, "No... I don't remember. I drew a lot of them. At that time, I just wanted to master the magic array."
Chu Nian: "When did you draw this?"
Lin Jingting said, "Before I fall into this deep sleep."
