Chen Nan quickly turned around, only to see Monk Jiese with his hands clasped together, a faint smile on his face, standing majestically on the rooftop, his entire body exuding a mysterious Buddha’s charm.
At first glance, if Chen Nan didn’t know the monk’s lustful nature, he might really believe this was a high monk untouched by the red dust, given how this guy now looks nothing like his usual self — that talkative, extremely lustful big monk.
"What kind of look is that, benefactor? Don’t I look handsome this way?" The big monk grinned, arrogantly shaking his head, though sadly, with not a single hair on his head.
This flirtatious smile made all the Buddha’s charm vanish into thin air instantly.
Chen Nan was speechless for a moment. This big monk was clearly a high monk, so why was he always so humorous and carefree?
"Master, when did you get up here?"
Chen Nan walked over, puzzled, but then realized he was being foolish. This monk’s martial arts could easily thrash even a Heavenly Passage Expert, appearing silently behind him would be far too easy.
"When the monk arrived isn’t important. What’s important is, Benefactor Chen, you were thinking about this humble monk!" The big monk’s eyes almost squinted into slits, wiping the saliva that had dripped to his mouth, he said, "Isn’t it because you want to fulfill your promise and introduce some pretty sisters to me?"
Chen Nan, with an admiring look, clasped his fists together and said, "Master, you are truly a divine being. I hadn’t even gotten the chance to say it, and you guessed it yourself."
The big monk’s eyes lit up, excitedly saying, "Buddha bless, truly Buddha bless! Benefactor Chen, where are those pretty sisters? Quickly take this humble monk to meet them, I definitely won’t let you suffer!"
Chen Nan felt an urge to vomit blood; this monk was beyond hopelessly lustful.
"Benefactor, hurry up and speak. Are you trying to drive this humble monk mad?"
The big monk was rubbing his hands, the eager impatience making it hard to believe he was a monk, let alone a high monk.
Chen Nan coughed dryly twice, helplessly smiling bitterly, "Master, to be honest, I actually need to ask for your help."
"That’s fine, that’s fine, no matter what it is, the monk agrees to it." Monk Jiese’s eyes gleamed, eager to say, "What’s most important now is, where exactly is that pretty sister? Quickly introduce her to me."
Chen Nan felt helpless, the women he knew, how could he introduce them for this monk to trouble.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Nan smiled and said, "Ten miles south, in the forest, there’s an Underground Lake. In the lake is an underground cave mansion, where a red-clothed fairy resides. If the master is interested..."
Before Chen Nan could finish, the monk cursed loudly, "Damn it, don’t mention that crazy woman to Buddha, Buddha wants to live a few more years."
Chen Nan was startled, surprised, "Master, do you know that red-clothed woman?"
How could he not be shocked, the red-clothed woman was a living fossil from many years ago, yet this big monk seemed to know her. Could it be they were from the same era?
"How could I not know, that crazy woman is simply not human." After the big monk finished speaking, he quickly clasped his hands and recited the Buddha’s name, "Amitabha, sinful sinful, how could a monk curse casually, this monk has broken the precept again."
Have you broken fewer precepts?
Chen Nan really wanted to retort, but considering the other’s elder status, it wasn’t appropriate to speak directly.
He was usually quite disrespectful in front of the old man, but that was because of the good master-disciple relationship, and the old man’s carefree nature was used to swearing.
As for this big monk before him, since the relationship wasn’t as close as with the old man, Chen Nan remained relatively respectful and asked, "So, master and that red-clothed woman are from the same era?"
"You could say so, but not necessarily." The monk gave an answer that wasn’t an answer.
Although the monk didn’t want to say directly, Chen Nan could basically confirm that the monk and the red-clothed woman were indeed from the same era; otherwise, how could they know each other?
"Benefactor Chen, take this."
The monk reached out, handing a piece of parchment to Chen Nan.
When Chen Nan took it, he found it was a map, and at the focal point of the map, three prominent characters were written—Immortal Spirit Valley.
This was actually a map to Immortal Spirit Valley!
Chen Nan was shaken within; he had just told the monk he had a request, but hadn’t mentioned Immortal Spirit Valley, yet the big monk seemed to know without being told, as if he knew it all.
However, Chen Nan was already completely used to such occurrences.
After all, his dead old master could divinely calculate, almost as if nothing in heaven and earth wasn’t known to him.
Chen Nan clasped his fists and smiled, "Thank you, master, for bestowing the map."
Monk Jiese grinned, suddenly reaching out towards Chen Nan’s head. Before Chen Nan could react, the monk’s palm had already pressed onto his forehead.
"Benefactor Chen, focus your mind, the monk will impart two Buddhist absolute skills today, Mixed Element Sword Wave and Infinite Buddha Handprint."
The monk’s voice resounded in his mind, and Chen Nan saw the monk’s figure appearing in his consciousness sea. The big monk flicked his finger, and the devastating Mixed Element Sword Wave spread from him in all directions, the terrifying aura of destruction seemed capable of shattering all obstacles.
At the same time, a Martial Arts Heart Method seemed deeply engraved in his mind, it was the Inner Cultivation Methods of the Mixed Element Sword Wave and the secret techniques for unleashing its maximum power.
Before Chen Nan could comprehend the Sword Wave’s profound mysteries, the big monk had already stopped the Sword Wave’s display.
"Infinite Buddha Hand Seal!"
A resounding voice echoed in his mind, and the next moment, the monk in Chen Nan’s consciousness sea raised and waved his hand, a Buddha Hand Seal spanning dozens of feet swept out and struck forward, within the palm of the handprint, a ’卍’ Buddha seal glistened golden, seemingly able to shatter any tangible essence.
As the Buddha Hand Seal was cast out, this Buddhist absolute skill’s Heart Method was deeply engraved in Chen Nan’s mind, although for a moment he couldn’t fully comprehend it, he had already memorized it.
The big monk released his hand, and Chen Nan awakened from that mystical state.
"Thank you, master, for imparting the Divine Skill."
Chen Nan felt genuine gratitude, as after all, the monk wasn’t his master, yet he generously imparted such absolute skills to him.
"No need for formalities. Speaking of, we come from the same sect, so I still count as your elder." Monk Jiese’s expression turned serious, but he didn’t elaborate further, and instead said, "I’ve heard you created an absolute martial arts skill called Three Elements Return to One."
Chen Nan nodded, "Hardly an absolute skill, merely a minor trick."
The monk’s eyes widened, irritably saying, "And you call that a minor trick, your boasting seems like you would die without it?"
Chen Nan chuckled, saying nothing.
The monk sighed, pointing out, "Although your absolute skill is powerful, it has a fatal flaw."
(Chen Nan looked at Monk Jiese with confusion, the monk shouted, "Oh my, patrons throw the monthly tickets! How else will the author be motivated to update more?")
