Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 531 - 411: Bodhi Hall (Part 2)

The infinite Spiritual Strength within the giant millstone couldn’t possibly have been created out of thin air.

Lu Lin speculated that it might need to absorb the Spiritual Strength of the residents of Blue Star. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Having destroyed one, there are still eight remaining.

Lu Lin plans to stay on Blue Star for quite some time, so he must eventually remove all these Beams of Light.

The next morning, his parents got up full of energy. Both were exhausted yesterday, but after a night’s sleep, they recovered astonishingly well.

They’d already toured Heng Mountain yesterday, so today they planned to visit nearby attractions.

After visiting the Long Men Grottoes, Emperor Qin’s Mausoleum, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Jin Yang Palace, they spent another two days before Lu Lin took his parents to Mount Tai.

Climbing East Mountain makes one feel small.

Compared to Mount Tai, everything else seems small.

As the ancient place for emperors to perform rituals and worship heaven, Lu Lin also found a piece of jade similar to the one at Heng Mountain here.

Next, he planned to head to Zhongyue Song Mountain.

While at Mount Song, Lu Lin made a special trip to the renowned Shaolin Temple.

Arhat Hall, Great Hero Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Dharma Pavilion, Thousand Buddha Hall.

He even bought a ticket specifically to enter the Scripture Pavilion to check if the Lankavatara Sutra was there.

At night, once again he let his parents rest in a traditional-style inn at the foot of Mount Song. After they fell asleep, Lu Lin also went out again, using the same method he did at Heng Mountain to enter Mount Song.

As soon as he teleported into the mountain, he felt someone appear beside him.

A young monk, wearing a monk’s robe with his muscular chest exposed.

"Benefactor, I do not know why you have come here late at night."

Lu Lin was surprised to see the young monk beside him, sensing that he was just an ordinary person, with no Star Power at all.

Yet, it seemed a strong energy was lurking within his body.

Though not quite at the level of a Titled King, it wasn’t far off.

It seemed that this was a Martial Artist from the Human Federation, specializing in cultivating Spiritual Strength.

But unlike Cha Yuan whom Lu Lin had met before, this young monk seemed to purely cultivate Spiritual Strength, without any Star Power at all.

"Hello, Little Master, it’s a long night and I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d go for a walk to aid digestion."

Listening to Lu Lin’s blatant excuse, Hui En was a bit speechless.

In this day and age, can’t you come up with a slightly better excuse?

"Hmm."

"But this place is Shaolin, it is my duty to ensure the safety of every visitor."

"So, please forgive me if I intrude, Benefactor Lu."

This time it was Lu Lin’s turn to be taken aback.

This young monk not only accurately predicted where he would teleport but also knew his surname. It wouldn’t be right to say he knows nothing.

However, Lu Lin’s information, though not exactly secret, wouldn’t be known by an ordinary person.

"No need to be suspicious, Benefactor Lu."

"Today, when you were touring the temple with your parents, I had the fortune to see your identity information."

Lu Lin suddenly realized.

This young monk’s ability was considerable; it turned out he was someone Lu Lin had seen during the daytime.

In that case, it was normal for him to know Lu Lin’s information.

"Alright, then you can follow along. After all, I’m not doing anything bad."

With that, Lu Lin continued walking towards the direction of the Beam of Light.

Hui En followed behind Lu Lin, constantly observing him.

Not knowing what he was thinking inside.

"Hmm?"

Lu Lin stopped in front of a house, observing as the Beam of Light fell directly into the courtyard ahead.

Within the courtyard were hundreds of monks meditating.

Each one emitted strong waves of Spiritual Strength, clearly engaged in cultivation.

And by observing, Lu Lin noticed none of these people possessed any Star Power at all, yet their Spiritual Strength was not lacking.

The weakest was about the level of a Seventh-Level warrior, and the strongest seemed to be at Ninth-Level Peak, not much different from Hui En behind him.

"Little Master, inside here..."

"This is the newly constructed Bodhi Hall of our Shaolin. Many monks reside here to meditate, eat vegetarian food, and recite Buddhist scriptures."

"Oh?"

Clearly, this young monk wasn’t telling the whole truth, but Lu Lin didn’t mind.

The monks’ strong Spiritual Strength, despite having no cultivation basis, reaching near the Ninth-Level Peak, seemed to have benefited significantly from the power of the Beam of Light.

However, this had nothing to do with Lu Lin.

He smiled at Hui En and then used his Star Skill to directly enter the underground.

Soon after, Lu Lin emerged from underground, but the ever-present Hui En was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, all the monks in the Bodhi Hall of the Shaolin Temple were in chaos.

Though they had been cultivating well, their Spiritual Strength suddenly vanished.

Could it be that Buddha no longer favored them?

It turned out that the Bodhi Hall was established years ago when a monk, dedicated to sweeping and cultivating within the temple, discovered an anomaly.

This monk himself did not awaken any talents, but because of his love for Shaolin martial arts, he directly became a monk.

However, after spending many years in the temple, apart from a slightly healthier body than ordinary people, he hadn’t cultivated anything significant.

Thankfully, in the place where he regularly swept, over time, he realized his mental state had improved considerably.

Decades later, when his Spiritual Strength cultivation reached Ninth-Level Peak, he finally made this matter public.

Since there was a long-growing Bodhi tree in the courtyard, the place was named Bodhi Hall.

The experience of this monk was later edited and posted on the Internet by a writing lover among the Shaolin monks.

"Thirty Years of Silent Cultivation: I Am the Shaolin Sweeping Monk"

Afterward, this place became a Holy Land within the Shaolin Temple, where every monk could attempt cultivation.

But suddenly, their Bodhi tree stopped providing Spiritual Strength to the monks, and the entire Shaolin Temple fell into chaos.

Lu Lin shook his head and, not bothering further, left Shaolin Temple.

His next destination was Wudang Mountain in the original Hubei Province.

The next morning, Lu Lin headed straight for Wudang Mountain with his parents. On the way, he couldn’t help but feel curious.

Arriving first at Heng Mountain, secondly at Mount Tai, and thirdly at Mount Song, he originally thought the next destinations would be the other two of the Five Great Mountains, Heng Mountain and Hua Mountain.

However, Hua Mountain was not far from places like Emperor Qin’s Mausoleum, and while touring the area with his parents, he hadn’t sensed the presence of any Beam of Light there.

Instead, one was relatively close in the south, and another was in the east.

But estimating the distance, Lu Lin decided to head to Wudang first.

He came to Blue Star mainly to encourage the current batch of students in Tongyuan, something Class Teacher Li had said to him yesterday, asking when he would arrive so they could make arrangements.

Thus, Lu Lin needed to destroy another piece of jade before rushing to Tongyuan.

He was still unaware that while he was on his way, groups of powerful Martial Artists in strange attires were searching for traces of him in Heng Mountain, Mount Tai, and Mount Song.
