Chapter 1622: Chapter 1624: Cultural Export and Trade War
“Guys, charge, charge, charge!”
“Where’s that fat guy? Bring out the coffin board, we’re going to war!”
Ergouzi howled at the sky, unable to suppress the excitent in his heart, as he ran wildly through the city.
“Little Junior Brother is back. It seems his journey to the Pure Land was quite fruitful.”
Liu Jinshui snuck out with a sly look, his aura visibly diminished, as if he had recently exchanged blows with a formidable opponent, exhausting a lot of his blood essence’s power.
With dark circles under his eyes, he shuffled over to Li Xiaobai, studying him closely.
“Not a scratch on you. How did you manage that? Why didn’t those bald donkeys kill you? When I first pretended to be a monk and entered the temple, I got found out on the first day.”
Liu Jinshui asked with a look of astonishnt.
“I friggin’…”
Li Xiaobai was on the verge of losing it, feeling exasperated. So you knew all along and still sent to infiltrate the Buddhist temple? You really are a sneaky and sinister one to the extre.
“Hehehe, don’t get mad, Little Junior Brother. I entrusted you with this important task because I have faith in you. You must bear this responsibility.”
Liu Jinshui patted Li Xiaobai’s shoulder, chuckling rrily.
“Thanks a lot for the vote of confidence, Senior Brother. I suppose you’ve been sleeping well these days, haven’t you? Sleeping without dreams?”
Li Xiaobai squinted, his tone suddenly turning cheerful. He had sent that female ghost to haunt the dreams of Liu Jinshui and Ergouzi, so he was sure they had been having a rough ti recently.
“I haven’t been sleeping well, actually. I keep dreaming of the sa girl. You know, Ol’Fatty, , has been pretty majestic all these years, accumulating a lot of romantic debts…”
“Wait a minute, you set this up. You know that female ghost!”
Liu Jinshui’s eyes widened abruptly, filled with disbelief.
He had been tornted for the past few days. As a clone, he didn’t need to cultivate, but every ti he closed his eyes, a woman hanging upside down appeared in his mind and gave him a beating, with no chance to fight back, indicating her Divine Soul power was far superior to his.
The reason he had drained so much blood essence and was feeling worn out was that this upside-down woman, for so unknown reason, would assault him with fists and kicks without giving him a chance to explain, leaving him extrely frustrated night after night.
“I never said that. Did you not gain any benefit from this female ghost, Senior Brother?”
Li Xiaobai teased.
“Female ghost?”
“Benefit?”
“All she did was beat up. What benefit? This is clearly your doing. Make her leave. Ol’Fatty owes her nothing!”
Liu Jinshui glared, speaking with a threatening tone.
“Do you truly owe her nothing? Does Senior Brother know who this female ghost is? Back then, the eldest martial sister personally pulled her down from a Heavenly Dao rift with one hand and smashed her to pieces with a hamr.”
Li Xiaobai inquired tentatively. If she was personally dealt with by the eldest martial sister, she must have been a renowned powerful figure, and Senior Brother should’ve heard of her.
“A female ghost beaten by the eldest martial sister?”
“And pulled down with one hand from the Heavenly Dao? Could it be her? How did you know?”
Liu Jinshui furrowed his brow, shivering slightly, feeling a chill run down his spine, his whole body feeling unwell.
“Oh? Does Senior Brother know who it is?”
“I only know bits and pieces. This female ghost suffered unbearable humiliation in the Pure Land and her resentnt is incredibly intense. I heard that you’re compassionate, Senior Brother, and can offer her help, so she ca to foster a good relationship with you.”
Li Xiaobai said with a half-smile.
“Nonsense, this woman is…”
“Forget it, I can’t divulge too much. The matter is too complicated. If I speak out, even this drop of blood essence might not withstand the causality.”
Liu Jinshui shivered, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. This woman’s background was extraordinary, also forbidden, and speaking of her could get him censored.
Li Xiaobai squinted, realizing the female ghost’s status had unexpectedly risen.
“Little Junior Brother, it’s not good for you to know too much about this. No wonder this female ghost wants to beat up Ol’Fatty. But back in the day, the one who bullied her the most was that damned dog, not Ol’Fatty!”
Liu Jinshui’s eyes shimred with mories, feeling indignant.
“Senior Brother, you could suggest to that female ghost to let Ergouzi serve her properly.”
Li Xiaobai said mysteriously.
“Little Junior Brother, that’s a great suggestion. I’ll have a good chat with the female ghost tonight.”
Liu Jinshui’s eyes brightened.
“Is there any news about the Dao Fruit?”
“In the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Fortune Pool.”
“So it’s inside Lingyin Temple, under the Buddha’s feet, quite tricky.”
Liu Jinshui rubbed his teeth together, looking a bit troubled.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaobai felt another urge to hit soone. Liu Jinshui seed to have figured everything out, treating Lingyin Temple like his backyard, even knowing the exact location of the Fortune Pool, but he never told him. After so many hardships trying to get into Lingyin Temple, Li Xiaobai figured the female ghost should tornt him a bit more to relieve his grudge.
“What’s so difficult about that? Now, our Extre Evil Pure Land is gaining montum, recruiting cultivators, and being provided with an endless stream of Great Resentnt Species to bolster our workforce. Don’t worry, kid. While you were away, Lord Ergouzi went for a stroll around the graves of various ancestral forces and borrowed quite a bit of fighting power, so we can have a real fight with those bald donkeys!”
Ergouzi, who had suddenly appeared at so point, said confidently.
“Even a single Buddha could wipe you out. If Senior Sister were here, there’d be no need for all this hassle. And you, you dead dog, if not for ssing with Ol’Fatty’s body, how would you land in such an awkward position?”
Liu Jinshui gritted his teeth in frustration.
“This matter requires long-term planning. The battlefield doesn’t necessarily need to involve weapons and killing. Have you two ever heard of cultural export or trade wars as a form of battleground? The battle is already underway. We must continuously send resources to the Pure Land to undermine the Buddhist Sect’s faith from within, and then seize the Dao Fruit amidst the chaos.”
Li Xiaobai was clear in his mind. Once Huazi was distributed, the sales channels would open swiftly. Just one use would reveal how magical Huazi was, not to ntion it carried the halo crafted by the Buddha. In a few days, the entire Pure Land would likely be engulfed in a wave.
“In the next few days, dispatch people to deliver the Cultivation Technique. The Xueshenzi Cultivation Technique has incredible effects in resisting the Power of Faith, plus we should produce more illustrated books from our Extre Evil Pure Land, involving many talented individuals to redraw the people’s beliefs. There’s more than one god in the world besides the Buddha, and we can create gods out of thin air—just draw them in my likeness!”
The Cultivation Technique works against the Power of Faith, while the illustrated books diminish the sacred status of the Buddha in people’s minds.
He wants to use cultural export to tell all sentient beings in the world to believe in science, avoid feudal superstitions, learn to think independently, manage their emotions, and be their own masters.
Liu Jinshui and Ergouzi were left dumbfounded. This was the first ti they’d heard such high-minded theory; their Little Junior Brother had truly co into his own, surpassing the master…
