Chapter 1

The spring rain washed away the luster of Spirit Platform Mountain.

Li Xuanxin wore a white monk’s robe and carried a bamboo basket as he walked over amidst the birds.

Before he arrived, he heard Granny Shen’s voice coming from Spirit Platform Temple.

“Master Hui Jue, our Xu Family’s eldest daughter has really taken a fancy to Little Master Xuanxin. Our young lady said that as long as you’re willing to persuade Little Master Xuanxin to renounce asceticism, she will donate 100,000 taels of silver to Spirit Platform Temple.”

“100,000 taels…”

“What? Are you worried that our young lady will go back on her word? The Xu Family is a big family within the radius of a hundred miles. Master Hui Jue, you know that.”

“This 100,000 taels is just a matter of moving your mouth.”

“Amitabha, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that the Zhang Family next door… donated 120,000 taels of silver.”

“Money is not a problem. As long as you can convince Little Master Xuanxin, our Xu Family will prepare an additional gift for you.”

“How much… Eh, Xuanxin, you’re back.”

Li Xuanxin did not say a word. He walked past the two of them with a dark expression and stepped through the door.

Granny Shen looked at his back in a daze.

“This person is good-looking. It’s a different feeling even when he looks angry. If I can obtain Little Master Xuanxin’s blessing once, even if I lose my soul to the King of Hell, my life will not be in vain.”

Hui Jue said smugly, “That’s right. My disciple’s cultivation is not good, but in terms of appearance, it’s difficult to find an opponent in the entire Great Zhou.”

Granny Shen wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and begged, “Master Hui Jue, please help us. I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Amitabha, no problem.”

…

Li Xuanxin had just arrived at his meditation room when his master, Hui Jue, chased after him with his hands behind his back.

“Xuanxin, why did you ignore Master just now?”

“I won’t renounce asceticism, let alone marry into the Zhang and Xu families.”

Li Xuanxin removed the bamboo basket and took out an injured fiery red fox to bandage it.

Hui Jue sighed softly.

“Xuanxin, it’s not that Master is heartless, but you’re really not fated to be a monk.”

“Five years ago, I saved you and shaved your head for you.”

“However, in the past five years, you haven’t learned a single Buddhist technique. I’m helpless too.”

“In short, I won’t marry into the family. If you want to marry into the family, feel free.”

Li Xuanxin spoke of his final stubbornness.

Master Hui Jue shook his head and could only sigh before leaving.

He had originally wanted to renovate the hall. If he was lucky, he could even reconstruct the Golden Body of the Buddha. Now, it seemed that there was no hope.

Forget it!

At this moment, Li Xuanxin had already finished bandaging the little fox. The little fox rubbed against his hand affectionately. Li Xuanxin’s heart warmed slightly and he stroked the little fox’s head.

“Go, don’t be naughty in the future.”

The little fox let out a cry and skipped away from the meditation room.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Li Xuanxin’s mind.

[Saved the Little Fox. Merit +17!]

“Completed one good achievement a day. Five years of merit accumulation has ended. Calculating merit…”

Hearing this voice, Li Xuanxin was first stunned before he could not help but sigh.

Five years!

It had been five years!

This damned cheat was finally activated.

‘Do you know how I lived the past five years?’

After transmigrating into this world where demons ran rampant, Li Xuanxin lived in the Spirit Platform Temple, a holy land of the Buddhist Sect in the Blue Sea City. He guarded the huge sect and had ten thousand scriptures, but he could not cultivate.

He still had to do a good deed every day for five years due to the cheat!

Without cultivation, he could only rely on himself to save small animals. He helped the old granny take two steps forward and helped the widow carry water. He persuaded the woman who had lost her chastity to turn over a new leaf and completed the mission requirements bit by bit.

He also had to reject the covetous eyes of the beautiful women at the foot of the mountain and guard against the covetous eyes of the demons in the mountain.

Finally, today, he successfully activated his cheat.

Li Xuanxin hurriedly checked the Merit Golden Lotus. A few lines of small words had already appeared.

It was Li Xuanxin’s information.

Li Xuanxin (Owner of the Merit Golden Lotus)!

Race: Human

Cultivation: None

Cultivation Technique: None

Merit Points: 1,084,618

Use of the Merit Golden Lotus: Consumes merit points to directly increase the cultivation technique level.

“So powerful! This golden finger is at least 18 centimeters long!”

Li Xuanxin was delighted.

He had not suffered in vain for five years.

One had to know that cultivation techniques relied on comprehension. If one’s comprehension was insufficient, they might not be able to cultivate a cultivation technique to the perfected realm in their entire life.

For example, Li Xuanxin was trash among trash. He could not even enter the basics of any cultivation technique.

Now, with the Merit Golden Lotus, he could directly increase the level of his cultivation technique. Then, he no longer needed to cultivate his cultivation technique. He only needed to increase the level of his cultivation technique and he could successfully use it to increase his strength or fight.

“Let’s go to the Sutra Pavilion.”

Li Xuanxin quickly arrived at the Sutra Pavilion.

It was morning. The fellow disciples were all cultivating in the arena. There were not many people in the Sutra Pavilion.

Li Xuanxin decided to learn the Heart Sutra first.

This was the first step of cultivation.

Without True Qi in his body, how could he cultivate?

There were countless cultivation techniques in the Buddhist faction, so the Heart Sutra was naturally countless.

The cultivation techniques of each temple were also different.

The more famous ones were the Diamond Scripture of the Diamond Monastery, the Bodhi Scripture of the Bodhi Temple, and the Muscle Strengthening Scripture of the Shaolin Temple…

Spirit Platform Temple had the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture!

As long as they were disciples of Spirit Platform Temple, they could cultivate it.

These sect treasures would not have harsh cultivation conditions for the disciples.

Without the agreement of the abbot and the various head monks, the disciples of this temple would never renounce asceticism.

It was useless to look at it anyway. If he did not learn it, he would forget it even if he looked at it once. This was a small method used by the treasure of the temple.

In addition, the reason why the treasure of the temple was called the sect treasure was because it was difficult to learn!

Countless disciples might not be able to learn many levels in their lives. If they could learn one, it would also bring the inheritance of the temple to greater heights. The temple could not wait for its disciples to learn it.

The sect also had many ordinary cultivation techniques for disciples with poor potential to cultivate.

Li Xuanxin had activated the Merit Golden Lotus and could directly increase the cultivation technique level. Furthermore, the merit points were limited, so she only needed to learn the best.

He quickly found the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and activated the Merit Golden Lotus to brand it.

Then, he clicked to upgrade it. Merit points were flowing like magma erupting from a volcano. They could not be blocked.

[By consuming 1 million merit points, you can raise the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to the perfected 108th level.]

So expensive!

It almost used up all his merit in an instant.

However, this was worth it.

The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was the supreme treasure of Spirit Platform Temple. Master Hui Jue had cultivated for more than a hundred years, but it was said that he had not reached the 50th level. If he spent a million merit points, he could instantly cultivate to the 108th level!

Li Xuanxin clicked on it without hesitation.

Then, he pressed his palms together and sat cross-legged. He began to accept the infusion of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture.

“Namah samanta vajrānām…”

As he chanted the scriptures, the dense True Qi in his body mixed with the golden scripture energy seemed to become a long dragon in Li Xuanxin’s body. It came to life and circulated rapidly in Li Xuanxin’s meridians.

As time passed, a faint golden light appeared at the back of Li Xuanxin’s head like a golden wheel.

Then, lotuses began to bloom around Li Xuanxin and spread out.

In the Hall of Great Strength, the head of the Fist Court, who was in charge of guarding the night, was reciting the scriptures with a few disciples. Suddenly, one of the disciples could not help but say,

“Master, look!”

The head of the Fist Court looked over and his pupils constricted.

The next second, his breathing quickened.

From the outside to the inside, there were golden lotuses everywhere. They slowly bloomed and spun.

“The ground gives birth to the appearance of a golden lotus! This… this is the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture that someone has cultivated to the perfected realm?”

“Namah samanta…”

At this moment, the many Buddhas in the Hall of Great Strength actually chanted Buddhist scriptures at the same time. Buddhist light shone brightly from their bodies.

All the Buddhist light finally condensed in the sky and formed a huge Buddha statue. It held a sword in its left hand and a pearl in its right. It continued to spread and reached the sky. It was ten thousand feet tall!

The golden Buddha statue even suppressed the sunlight. The Buddhist light was like a sword, tearing through the darkness in the dense forest and illuminating everything.

Countless demons hiding in the forest could not help but scream under the Buddhist light. They either fled with heavy injuries or wailed on the ground.

Some demons with a weak cultivation base even turned into dust!

The monks were all jolted awake. The abbot of Spirit Platform Temple, Hui Xin, and the other temple masters immediately rushed to the Hall of Great Strength. When they saw the Buddha statues chanting, they were extremely excited.

“Ten Thousand Buddhas chanting! Who is cultivating the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture? They have even cultivated it to the perfected realm!”

A Great Grand Elder was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

“It’s been a thousand years! The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture of the perfected realm has finally appeared in the mortal world! We’re blessed by the Buddha! Amitabha!”
