122: Chapter 122 Green Bamboo, Past Events

"So it is Villa Master Lv Zhu, please come in." Zhao Feng stood up and said.

The person who had come to visit in the middle of the night was none other than the master of Green Bamboo Villa—Lv Zhu.

Lv Zhu swayed her lotus steps gracefully as she stepped forward and said: "To tell you the truth, Young Master Zhao should know my identity by now, right?" She pulled over a chair, sat down, and then looked at Zhao Feng as she spoke.

Zhao Feng made no comment and watched her quietly.

Seeing that Zhao Feng did not reply, Lv Zhu was not surprised; instead, she closed her eyes to regulate her breath. Suddenly, a faint golden halo appeared on Lv Zhu's body. Within the halo, tiny scriptures were dancing. However, these scriptures seemed as if they were sick, looking somewhat listless.

Zhao Feng was startled, "A Buddhist Practitioner?"

"Correct, to be precise, I am a Buddhist Practitioner of the Yao Race." Lv Zhu stopped circulating her energy and said softly.

"Oh?"

Lv Zhu smiled and said: "It seems Young Master Zhao is very guarded, so I will get straight to the point."

"I am a bamboo that attained the Dao. About five hundred years ago, one day, I woke up in a trance amidst the sound of compassionate scriptures, and from then on, I officially embarked on the path of Cultivation."

"But unlike ordinary Yao Cultivators, I do not possess things like a Spiritual Root or Bloodline. Within my Yao power, faint scriptures flow; this is the symbol of a Buddhist Practitioner!"

A look of reminiscence appeared in Lv Zhu's eyes, "I still remember that it was a beautiful dusk. The setting sun went down, casting golden-red clouds across the horizon, and Master Guangji was sitting cross-legged beneath me, chanting solemn scriptures..."

"Until that day, he imprisoned me. Originally, he intended to use the 'Cihang Scripture of Salvation' to rectify my essence and officially turn me into a Buddhist Practitioner. I know he wanted to protect me, but I was willing to die with him at the hands of Lei Ming! Even though I was just a small Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, I was not afraid at all!" Her face remained expressionless, but her voice trembled slightly.

"I found a trace of his spiritual intelligence, and this trace of spiritual intelligence needs scriptures to be nurtured. For so many years, the Buddha-nature in me has been constantly devoured and is about to disappear, but the spiritual intelligence is also about to be able to be reincarnated. I need you, really, I need you!" Lv Zhu's tone began to quicken, like a person drowning who had suddenly discovered a straw.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Zhao Feng had received favors from Master Guangji, so if he could help, that would naturally be good.

"I need you to continue helping me nurture Master Guangji's spiritual intelligence. I know you have obtained Master Guangji's Sarira. It would be best if this spiritual intelligence is nurtured by you." A flash of light appeared in Lv Zhu's hand, and a spiral-shaped thread of light appeared. This thread of light flickered and could actually move freely; it was extremely miraculous.

Zhao Feng looked at Lv Zhu with some admiration; this Yao was not like the evil Yao in legends, "I can teach you a Cultivation Technique for a Buddhist Practitioner. I think if Great Master Guangji were aware, he would certainly agree."

"No, I just want to listen to his scriptures quietly. So many years have passed; Master Guangji probably misses this bamboo of mine as well. It is time to go keep him company." Lv Zhu shook her head and smiled instead.

"Senior, please do not be like this. Since Great Master Guangji's spiritual intelligence still exists, perhaps it is possible to break the Mystery of the Womb and regain his memories. Why not give it a try, Senior?" Zhao Feng hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"Breaking the Mystery of the Womb is so difficult. It is rumored that in ancient times, the Underworld existed to regulate wandering souls. Even in such a great era of Cultivation, very few people could break this Mystery of the Womb, let alone now when the Underworld does not exist and wandering souls are in chaos." Lv Zhu held no hope for this.

"If we don't try, how will we know? Great Master Guangji is a hero of the Human Race and highly respected; I will definitely do my utmost to help you, Senior. When Great Master Guangji's Reincarnation appears, if he can become a Buddhist Practitioner again, it will certainly be very helpful for restoring his memories of his past life." Zhao Feng actually had quite a few ideas about this; in the world of Cultivation, there aren't many things that cannot be done.

"Sigh, then let's give it a try!" Lv Zhu sighed and put away Master Guangji's spiritual intelligence.

"By the way, how is Liu Xuan's injury?" Zhao Feng watched as Lv Zhu regained her composure and then asked.

"Little Xuaner has recovered well, Young Master Zhao does not need to worry." Lv Zhu nodded with a smile, "My younger sister is very mischievous, but her heart is not bad. I will leave her to you in the future, Young Master."

These words were a bit strange, but Zhao Feng did not suspect anything else, assuming it was just Lv Zhu caring for Liu Xuan, and said: "Miss Liu is smart and cute; if there is anything I can help with, I will naturally do my utmost to assist."

Lv Zhu was slightly stunned, she stood up and said: "It is late, Young Master Zhao should rest early."

Zhao Feng saw her out the door and said: "After I have mastered the basics of being a Buddhist Practitioner, I will definitely come again to rectify your essence, Senior. As for the Great Master's Sarira, I have already memorized the Cultivation Technique within it. Once I have collected the consecration scriptures, I will hand it over to you, Senior."

"Mm, thank you, Young Master."

Early the next morning, Liu Xuan and Lv Zhu rushed over. Zhao Feng was enjoying his porridge comfortably. Seeing how impatient they looked, he was curious and asked: "You two have rushed over, is something the matter?"

Liu Xuan turned to look at Lv Zhu, her face also full of curiosity. It seemed that it was Lv Zhu who had something to discuss.

Lv Zhu's face, however, was written with disbelief, "Do you know what I discovered?"

Looking at the expression on her face, it seemed she had indeed discovered something extraordinary. Zhao Feng's curiosity was also greatly aroused, and he asked: "What?"

"Look!" Lv Zhu waved her hand casually towards Liu Xuan. A golden light flashed, and colorful radiance shone from Liu Xuan's lower abdomen.

"This is the Spell to Reveal Spiritual Roots!" Zhao Feng recognized this Spell, which he had first come into contact with, by the technique and the symbols in the center of the Spell.

Zhao Feng asked curiously: "Is there a problem with this? Miss Liu has a Five-element Spiritual Root, which is not uncommon."

Lv Zhu said helplessly: "That is where you are wrong; I just checked Little Xuaner last time, and she had no Spiritual Root in her Innate state, but look at her now!"

"What?" Zhao Feng was also shocked. Why would Liu Xuan suddenly develop a Spiritual Root?

"What are you two talking about? What Spiritual Root? I am not a Cultivator." Liu Xuan pouted and said unhappily. These two were waving their hands around randomly; was it fun?

As an ordinary girl, Liu Xuan naturally could not see the radiance of spiritual power, so having such thoughts was very normal. Ordinary people seeing someone dancing around would certainly think they were crazy.

Of course, Zhao Feng and the other person were certainly not crazy.

"Little Xuaner, haven't you always wanted to become a Cultivator? Now you can become a Cultivator." Lv Zhu said to Liu Xuan with a smile.

"What? I can become a Cultivator? Didn't they say I had no Aptitude for Cultivation?" Hearing such news, Liu Xuan said in disbelief.

"You didn't have the Aptitude before, but now you do."

"Why?"

"I think your sudden appearance of a Spiritual Root probably has a lot to do with Young Master Zhao." Lv Zhu pointed her slender jade finger at Zhao Feng.
