110: Chapter 115

With what needed to be taken taken, and what needed to be cleared cleared, having handled all the hidden dangers that might cause trouble, Lin Bufan could finally settle his mind and prepare to assault his acupoints.

However, before that, the Demon Suppression Division had interrogated something out.

That captured monk, under the "care" of Feng Yuxiu and the others, spat out everything he should and shouldn't have said.

It was just as Lin Bufan had guessed; this bald donkey was a practitioner of evil paths.

He cultivated some sort of evil Buddha, specifically absorbing resentment and baleful qi to forge a golden body for himself.

He wandered all the way to Changsha, and seeing that the resentment and baleful qi in the city were quite dense, he thought that if he just showed off a little, those nouveau riche under Eighth Master would have to kneel and call him daddy.

Who knew the waters of Changsha were so murky? He had just stuck his head out when he was immediately targeted.

The Demon Suppression Division also extracted quite a bit of information about the cultivation world from his mouth.

According to the monk, the Divine Land was in complete chaos, and the order of humanity had long since collapsed.

The demons, monsters, and ghosts from the mountains were running wild everywhere, and the cultivators who had originally hidden in the deep mountains and old forests were also emerging one after another.

However, the so-called experts one could encounter outside were nine times out of ten just crooked paths and con artists.

Genuine cultivators with actual attainments would never easily show their faces.

The monk also confessed that those heterodox paths were much like him—just coming out of the mountains, with pockets emptier than their faces.

Proper cultivators were pure of heart and had few desires, not caring for such worldly wealth.

But those crooked paths were different; the methods they cultivated and the paths they walked were all based on their own whims.

Some people were even infected by evil natures; they looked kind and benevolent on the surface, but in secret, they were more ruthless and vicious than anyone.

The monk also revealed the current classification of realms in the cultivation world.

Ranked from low to high: Qi Refining, Spirit Refining, Void Refining, and Dao Integration.

This bald donkey himself was merely a piece of trash who had just stepped over the threshold of Qi Refining.

After hearing this, Lin Bufan couldn't help but let his eyes darken.

He turned to instruct Feng Yuxiu to keep his spirits at a twelve-point high and not allow the slightest bit of carelessness.

Lin Bufan knew clearly that, in addition to the daily drills and the cultivation of the people in the Demon Suppression Division, he could not slack off in his own kung fu for even a moment.

Don't look at the fact that the Lin family now possessed three Martial Arts Grandmasters, and he himself had touched the threshold of opening his acupoints, just a breath away from becoming a Martial Saint.

But taking that step, how could it be so simple?

Outside, not only were there all kinds of demons, monsters, and ghosts watching in the dark, but there were also those unclean heterodox paths making trouble.

What was more troublesome was that Changsha was dripping with wealth, and those warlords would sooner or later smell the scent and develop crooked ideas.

But then he thought, the Security Regiment had finished expanding; five thousand men, each with an AK, were currently training in full swing.

Lin Bufan's trace of unease immediately dissipated.

With Changsha's current assets, regardless of whether it was demons, evil cultivators, or any warlords coming, as long as they dared to reach out, there was only one outcome: to crash and break their heads.

"The five thousand brothers in the Security Regiment have all been equipped with guns..."

"The two production lines are running day and night, accumulating more every day..."

"If something really happens, the AKs stored in the armory are enough for Zhang Qishan and his people to re-equip instantly; a few thousand men can be assembled in the blink of an eye."

If there were truly any blind warlords eyeing Changsha, as long as Zhang Qishan nodded, Lin Bufan wouldn't mind handing over all the guns, letting each of the thousands of men under him have one.

By then, if the two groups joined forces, that would be an army of ten thousand.

Never mind other heavy firepower; relying solely on the firepower of the AKs in this era meant they could walk sideways.

Having arranged matters outside, Lin Bufan stopped worrying and turned his attention back to the Lin Residence.

Life suddenly returned to its old ways.

Every day at dawn, without fail, he would first practice a set of Five Elements Longevity Fist.

After finishing, he would spend time playing with the two little ones, Lin Changsheng and Lin Changge.

Watching these two children, who had grown from the fair, tender little porcelain dolls they were before into children who could run and jump in the blink of an eye, calling out "Daddy, Mommy" with crisp voices and making faces at him from time to time, Lin Bufan felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly two years since he was reborn into this world.

In just two short years, he had gone from being an ordinary nobody to his current position, step by step.

Looking across the entire city of Changsha, or even the entire Divine Land, he could be considered a legend.

His gaze fell into the courtyard, where Huo Qingxian and the other two were chatting and laughing, with the children running around happily nearby.

Lin Bufan couldn't help but murmur softly: "If only it could go on like this forever..."

But as his thoughts turned, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

A thought immediately followed in his heart: Whoever dared to disturb the stability of Changsha or ruin the peace of their Lin family, then don't blame him for turning hostile and not recognizing anyone.

Lin Bufan's gaze fell on the figure ahead.

That was his enemy.

Since they were enemies, there was nothing left to say; he would absolutely not show mercy.

Standing under the bodhi tree, watching the scene before him, Lin Bufan's state of mind seemed to be touched by something.

Added to the fact that the bodhi tree itself had the effect of calming the spirit and opening wisdom, he seemed to enter a profound and mysterious state.

That feeling was as if his entire being had merged with heaven and earth.

Huo Qingxian had originally been chatting with the other two women, but upon noticing the abnormality in Lin Bufan, the women exchanged glances.

"Husband... has he entered a state of enlightenment?"

Although shocked, none of the women, including Huo Qingxian, hesitated, fearing they might disturb him.

Without a word, they immediately handed the two little ones, Lin Changsheng and Lin Changping, who were playing wildly nearby, to the wet nurse.

Even the nursing baby, Li Chang'an, who was still in swaddling clothes, was carried away from the scene by the wet nurse.

Within a hundred-meter radius, only the three women, including Huo Qingxian, remained to guard him.

Thump, thump, thump...

Lin Bufan stood under the bodhi tree with his eyes closed, and a dull, thumping sound came from within his body, like the beating of a drum.

The aura on his body slowly changed.

The momentum of a Martial Arts Grandmaster silently permeated the surroundings.

Feeling that pressure, the three women, including Huo Qingxian, didn't say a word and immediately took a few steps back.

Lin Bufan, who had originally just been standing quietly under the tree, actually started to slowly practice his fist technique at this moment.

Five Elements Longevity Fist.

Every move he made was executed without a single shred of qi and blood leaking out, nor was there any astonishing phenomenon.

It looked just like an ordinary person practicing boxing, unremarkable.

Even Huo Xianer and Yin Xingyue, the two experts at the Grandmaster realm, couldn't see the trick to it.

In their eyes, Lin Bufan's movements were flawless, yet not special at all.

Only Huo Qingxian, who had already stepped into the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster, could vaguely sense something wrong.

Every time Lin Bufan threw a punch, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi seemed to be drawn by some force.

That spiritual qi was absorbed into his body in wisps, as if it had been swallowed.

As time passed bit by bit, Lin Bufan kept maintaining that state of enlightenment where man and nature were one, showing no signs of waking up.

Huo Xianer muttered softly: "Is my husband... about to break through?"

She and Yin Xingyue looked at each other, neither of them having noticed anything unusual.

But right now, Lin Bufan was immersed in enlightenment, and the fact that there was no movement on the surface was the most unusual thing itself.

Their cultivation was insufficient, and they couldn't perceive the method, so they naturally cast their gazes collectively toward Huo Qingxian.

Huo Qingxian was a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster; surely she should be able to see some clues, right?

Being stared at by the two, Huo Qingxian didn't hesitate and directly shook her head: "I can't figure it out, I can't say for sure, and I don't understand what kind of situation my husband is in right now."

She could only feel that Lin Bufan had merged into one with the surrounding heaven and earth.

The thick, inseparable spiritual qi of heaven and earth around him was all drawn by him, pouring into his body continuously.

As for whether Lin Bufan was really assaulting a bottleneck, she couldn't be sure for the moment.

After practicing the Five Elements Longevity Fist over and over again several times, Lin Bufan's figure finally returned to its original appearance.

Immediately after, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, neat and clean.

At this time, Lin Bufan's entire mind was trapped in the state of enlightenment.

Wrapped in that mysterious feeling, he seemed to have touched something special.

"Is this thing... the acupoints in my body?"

Suddenly, Lin Bufan vaguely sensed a trace of existence.

That's right, in this state of enlightenment, he had actually struck great luck and sensed the first acupoint within his own body!

"I really didn't expect to touch upon the acupoints so quickly..."

Although he had initially sensed the position of the acupoint, Lin Bufan was not in a hurry to assault it.

Whew...

After a long while, Lin Bufan, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew from the state of enlightenment.

He carefully sensed his own condition.

Although his cultivation hadn't increased by a single bit, Lin Bufan could clearly perceive that after this instance of enlightenment, his essence, qi, and spirit had all been severely tempered.

Even the power of qi and blood in his body had become more active and thicker than before.

To be more precise, the power of qi and blood in his body seemed to have given birth to a trace of spirituality!

"Husband..."

As soon as Lin Bufan opened his eyes, the three women, including Huo Qingxian, who had retreated dozens of meters away, immediately stepped forward to welcome him.

Crowding around him, they asked impatiently: "Husband, how do you feel?"

"Don't worry, I just happened to enter a state of enlightenment."

"Although my cultivation hasn't broken through, my essence, qi, and spirit have all undergone a transformation."

"Not only that, but I have also detected the position of an acupoint in my body..."

"As long as I accumulate enough power, I can try to assault the acupoint at any time."

Now that Lin Bufan could sense the existence of the acupoint, it meant that one of his feet had already crossed the threshold of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

As long as his internal qi and blood reserves were sufficiently abundant, he could launch an assault on the acupoint at any time.

It could be said that he had already passed the most difficult hurdle for breaking through to Martial Saint.

With his current accumulation, wanting to truly open the acupoint was only a matter of time.

If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times. He would definitely be able to blast this acupoint open!

Upon hearing that Lin Bufan had actually sensed the acupoint thanks to this opportunity, the three women, including Huo Qingxian, immediately congratulated him in unison: "Congratulations, Husband..."

"Being able to find the acupoint so quickly is all thanks to this bodhi tree."

Lin Bufan said while raising his head, looking at the giant bodhi tree in front of him, which was dozens of meters tall.

For him to be able to take this step, this tree deserved a lot of credit.

If it hadn't been for this sudden entry into the state of enlightenment, he wouldn't know how much time it would have taken to find the acupoint.
