Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 545: Without trade, there would be no killing
Chapter 545: Without trade, there would be no killing
The five of them passed spiritual power to the person in front of them. Because the transfer of spiritual power causes some loss, over time, everyone's spiritual power would be exhausted.
Fortunately, Lu Yang had taught the four of them the Swallow the Sky cultivation method. While transferring spiritual power, they opened their mouths wide to absorb the surrounding spiritual power. The Transmission Elder thought they were possessed.
Transferring spiritual power was also to achieve a state of mutual integration. At this moment, Lu Yang's spiritual power was almost entirely from the other four, and the same was true for the others. Their spiritual powers were fully integrated.
The Transmission Elder didn't expect the five of them to reach this state so quickly.
"Now, let's move on to the third step, practicing combination skills..."
...
"The exchange period among the five major immortal sects is about the same. Junior Brother Lu Yang and the others should have arrived at the Five Elements Sect by now. Why hasn't Shi Chan from the Floating Temple shown up?" Dai Bufan muttered to himself as he sorted through the intelligence.
"Could something have happened?"
...
A handsome monk walked out of the slaughterhouse, heading to the nearest docking point for the flying boat.
"What a delicious aroma."
The monk's nose twitched as he passed by a restaurant. It was noon, the busiest time, and the aroma of the food made him stop.
Having a meal wouldn't delay his flight.
He changed his plans and walked into the restaurant.
"Waiter, is there a seat available?"
"Master, you came to the right place. Our Thousand Miles Fragrance Restaurant's vegetarian dishes are also top-notch!"
"I don't want vegetarian dishes. Give me two pounds of braised beef, a serving of braised pork knuckle, and a bowl of lamb offal noodles."
The waiter looked at the monk in surprise, thinking he had misheard.
There were many people pretending to be monks nowadays, but this was the first time he had seen such a blatant fake.
But it wasn't his concern. Whatever the customer ordered, he would serve.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
Before long, a large plate of braised beef, a serving of braised pork knuckle, and a bowl of lamb offal noodles were served. Shi Chan ate them slowly and methodically.
"Sir, that will be sixty-six coins in total."
The monk wiped his mouth and said calmly, "My master often told me that without trade, there would be no killing. If no one in the world ate meat, no animals would be slaughtered, and your restaurant would only sell vegetarian dishes. He always warned us not to order meat in restaurants to avoid encouraging bad practices."
The waiter was baffled by this speech: "So, sir, you mean..."
"I'm dining and dashing. If I don't pay, it doesn't count as trade."
...
At the mountain gate of the Seek Tao Sect.
Two disciples guarding the mountain gate were yawning out of boredom, chatting about recent events.
"Finally, no one is coming to propose marriage to Junior Brother Lu anymore. It's much quieter."
"Indeed, I've never seen such a queue at the door. It was an eye-opener."
A tall figure approached, clasping his hands together and asking loudly:
"Is this the Seek Tao Sect?"
The newcomer was handsome, wearing a tattered kasaya, with bright, clear eyes like pools of water, and a bald head.
If not for the kasaya, the gate-keeping disciples might have thought he was a victim of the Lu Family Arhat Fist seeking revenge.
"Are you Junior Brother Shi Chan from the Floating Temple?" one of the gate-keeping disciples asked tentatively, recalling Senior Brother Dai's instructions about monks from the Floating Temple coming to the Seek Tao Sect for exchange during this period.
"Yes, I am. Sorry for being late; washing dishes took longer than expected."
The gate-keeping disciple was puzzled by Shi Chan's words but politely said, "Please wait here for a moment. I'll go get Senior Brother Dai."
One disciple went to find Senior Brother Dai, while the other continued to guard the gate.
Before long, Dai Bufan hurried over and saw Shi Chan meditating at the gate.
He observed Shi Chan's dignified appearance, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, exuding righteousness, with a solid foundation. He nodded secretly, impressed by Master Jie Sha's disciple.

Shi Chan was meditating in mid-air. Sensing Dai Bufan's approach, he stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Senior Brother Dai."
"Junior Brother Shi Chan, did you come to the Seek Tao Sect alone?"
"The senior brothers and uncles in the temple are busy and couldn't spare time to escort me."
"Busy?"
"Yes, my master heard news about your sect's leader in the Wild State and led the senior uncles and brothers there."
Dai Bufan: "..."
If he remembered correctly, his master, known for his brotherly loyalty, had impersonated Bu Yu Taoist and spread information in the Wild State, telling stories everywhere.
Could the news Master Jie Sha heard be about his master?
Never mind, his master had his own fate. As a disciple, there was no need to worry. At worst, if caught, his master would just get a beating, but it wouldn't be fatal.
"Junior Brother Shi Chan, please come in."
Dai Bufan personally welcomed Junior Brother Shi Chan, hoping his actions would move Master Jie Sha to go easy on his master during the beating.
They passed through the River Spirit's territory and entered the core area of the Seek Tao Sect. Shi Chan was surprised by the bustling scene.
Compared to the Floating Temple, the Seek Tao Sect was excessively lively.
"Junior Brother Shi Chan, how much do you know about our Seek Tao Sect, and what do you wish to learn here?"
"When my master could still speak, he told me a lot about your sect. Your sect is rich in cultivation resources and has numerous divine abilities, especially the Scripture Repository, which is filled with countless divine abilities."
"There are two divine abilities I wish to learn."
"Feel free to tell me."
"I heard that Dao Friend Lu Yang has a style of Arhat Fist, which causes hair loss in those struck. Can I learn it?"
"Well..." Dai Bufan showed a troubled expression. Of all the techniques to learn, why choose Lu Yang's? Is that even learnable?
"To be honest, Junior Brother Lu's Arhat Fist is unique. He is the only one in the entire sect who knows it, and he is currently at the Five Elements Sect for an exchange."
"And Dao Friend Meng Jingzhou's Single Dog Curse Fist, which contains karmic power, can I learn that?"
"..."
Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble? You want to learn everything that's unavailable.
"None of them are here." Shi Chan was visibly disappointed upon hearing this.
He had longed for these two fist techniques, believing they were the true divine abilities of the Buddhist sect, far surpassing the Sutra of Salvation and the Six-Foot Golden Body.
Unfortunately, those who knew them were not around.
"It seems the timing isn't right. Forcing it would be inappropriate. Senior Brother Dai, please go about your business. I'll take a walk around the Seek Tao Sect. I've heard of its fame but never seen it, so this is a good opportunity to broaden my horizons."
Dai Bufan was indeed very busy. As the actual leader of the mission hall, he had a mountain of accumulated tasks even if he took a day off.
"Take this token. With it, you can move freely within our sect, even in places like the Scripture Repository. If you have any questions, you can ask the nearby junior brothers and sisters; they will assist you."
Shi Chan took the token from Dai Bufan and thanked him.
Dai Bufan returned to the mission hall but didn't immediately handle his tasks. After pondering for a moment, he took out a jade disc, a communication artifact between him and the Great Elder.
He wrote on the artifact: "Master, Junior Brother Shi Chan said that Master Jie Sha is leading all the monks from the Floating Temple to the Wild State to search for our sect leader. You are impersonating the sect leader and telling stories in the Wild State. You might encounter them, so please be careful."
Dai Bufan tapped the center of the jade disc with his finger to send the message.
Soon, the Great Elder responded.
"Next time, inform me earlier."
Dai Bufan was silent for a moment, analyzing: "Not even a punctuation mark. The situation must be intense."
"Master is indeed masterful, strategizing with foresight. He must have anticipated this calamity, which is why he built a grand tomb."
The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
