Chapter 1542: Chapter 1544: Master and Disciple et
Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Ma Niubi shivered all over, incredulously rubbing his eyes.
Isn’t this his master? They had parted ways back in the Heavenly God Academy, and he never expected they would reunite today in the Pure Land’s Arhat Monastery.
This isn’t the edge of the monastery city within the Pure Land; this is close to the core area. Being able to co this far ans he’s truly unfathomable!
“This is my master. Before I joined the Buddhist Sect, he recognized my talent; it was his influence that sparked my idea to co to the Pure Land and take refuge in Buddhism.”
Ma Niubi noticed the peculiar looks of the surrounding crowd and quickly spoke up to explain.
“Amitabha, this humble monk did not expect to have the fortune of eting here today. Benefactor Ma overstates; back then, this humble monk rely sought Benefactor’s guidance on a few techniques for mutual learning, with no intention of teaching.”
“The title of master is truly undeserved.”
Li Xiaobai clasped his hands together, reciting the Buddha’s na with a devout expression, one sentence clarifying his identity and situation, making the other party aware of the present circumstance.
He believed that with Ma Niubi’s intelligence, he wouldn’t easily be converted by the Pure Land.
“Ah, so it is. I didn’t realize there was such a connection between Master Wuhu and Brother Ma. It’s truly destined!”
“Brother Ma is a prodigy of our Arhat Monastery. For the Debating Buddha Platform trip in three days, Brother Ma will be leading our Arhat Monastery!”
A nearby junior monk approached to introduce and explain the identities of both parties for the monks present to understand Li Xiaobai’s status.
“Brother Ma, Master Wuhu is the Abbot’s designated Buddhist genius and will accompany you and other senior brothers in three days, so please keep the peace.”
“Hahaha, how could it not? With Master Wuhu here, I’m delighted, barely able to contain my joy. How could it upset the harmony? Just now, my short-sightedness failed to recognize Master Wuhu, and I apologize for that!”
Ma Niubi laughed heartily, waving a hand and patting the young monk on the shoulder: “No need to say more. Master Wuhu will be my responsibility. You may go to the Scripture Pavilion for your reward!”
“Thank you, Brother Ma!”
The young monk ran off joyfully, all excited.
“Master Wuhu, it’s been a long ti. Let’s find a quiet place to resu our conversation!”
Ma Niubi said with a smile, leading Li Xiaobai away from the training ground; there were too many people and chatter here for a proper discussion.
“Amitabha, Benefactor Ma is truly a person of genuine character.”
Li Xiaobai cheerfully followed from behind.
The two turned a corner and entered a house of gold bricks and jade tiles. The splendid and radiant layout inside was unlike the austere style of monks who renounced worldly pleasures.
“You’re doing quite well. I thought you might have been converted by the monks.”
Li Xiaobai casually sat down, looking at Ma Niubi.
“Hmph, with master’s guidance, how could I be easily converted by these bald donkeys? It’s just playing along with them.”
“But speaking of monks, the style of behavior in this Pure Land is nothing if not restrained. The so-called renunciation of all desires is re paper talk, even inferior to the Buddhist Sect in the Central Origin Realm.”
Ma Niubi stood with his hands behind his back, expressing contempt.
Just look at the décor in this house; nothing resembles the ascetic practice of monks. It’s all about feasts and beauties as long as the cultivation level grows. They don’t even bother to maintain appearances.
But you can’t really bla the monks since all the cultivators within the Pure Land are insiders, and any outsider is converted imdiately, so no matter what one does here, there won’t be criticism.
“So, master, why are you here? Is there an important matter?”
“Is there anything I can help with? After all, my position in this Arhat Monastery is very solid now; I can easily rally support!”
Ma Niubi looked at Li Xiaobai and asked.
“I have already found your Master Ergou and Uncle-master Liu Jinshui in the Twelve Domains, but their situations are not optimistic.”
Li Xiaobai handed over a cigarette, slowly speaking.
“What do you an?”
“Master, you have found the whereabouts of the two uncles?”
Ma Niubi’s expression changed, eagerly asking, having followed Li Xiaobai after ascending from the Central Origin Realm, also hoping to find those uncles from the past.
Back then, he was too young to fight, but now, having matured and with his cultivation steadily advancing, he wouldn’t stand by in another upheaval.
“Exactly, your Uncle Liu Jinshui has sealed his physical body, leaving only a blood essence clone walking the world. As for your Master Ergou, all his cultivation is gone, and his Dao Fruit was taken. I entered this Pure Land to search for his Dao Fruit.”
Li Xiaobai said slowly.
“Search for the Dao Fruit?”
“Master Ergou’s Dao Fruit was taken by a Pure Land cultivator? Who would dare, and who could do it?”
Ma Niubi’s eyes widened. He’d been in the Pure Land for so ti and knew nothing of this matter, never having heard a word about it!
Such a powerful cultivator as Ergou, having his Dao Fruit taken, should have stirred at least so whispers.
“Besides the Buddha, who else could so easily handle your Master Ergou?”
“My purpose here is solely the Dao Fruit, avoiding unnecessary trouble. The monks at Arhat Monastery regard as an unparalleled Buddhist genius and wish to take deeper into the Pure Land, a proposal I am perfectly happy to accept.”
“eting you here was unexpected. Was that Ma Killer Triangle Style you showed, a creation of your own Cultivation Technique?”
Li Xiaobai sized up Ma Niubi, noticing how his ponytail swayed arrogantly on his shoulder, showing none of the composure expected of a Buddhist disciple.
“Indeed, the Debating Buddha Platform features both literary and martial debates. That Ma Killer Triangle Style just now is part of the literary duel aspect, where disciples and cultivators from various monasteries showcase unique skills both to learn from one another and to display their monastery’s strength.”
Ma Niubi said softly.
He felt a bit embarrassed, having put on a flashy yet ineffective display before his master, failing to harm him in the slightest.
Indeed, his teacher was still the unfathomable master from the past, beyond his ability to asure.
“I thought it was quite impressive. Used well, it could catch an opponent off guard, though it does require so finesse.”
Li Xiaobai was unconcerned, having witnessed the power of the Triangle Style. The practitioner could instantly reposition without warning, more than re movent technique, likely touching the edge of the Power of Laws.
Moreover, the Heavenly Sound Wave unleashed could store a substantial portion of the strength of his Divine Hand, possibly filling both hands if used again.
