Chapter 386: Chapter 21 Causality Fragments of the Heavens
Near the Inner City, a group of middle-aged men dressed as monks slowly approached a small courtyard and stopped their steps.
“Miao Neng, is this the house you’ve chosen? It doesn’t seem very serene!”
A Zen Master placed his Zen Stick on the ground with a “clang!” and looked at the monk at the side with a touch of confusion.
“We’re only here to fulfill Buddha’s mission and won’t be staying long!”
Before Miao Neng Zen Master could speak, a tall old man in the middle, with one hand raised and an expression neither sorrowful nor joyful, said: “Besides, serenity is a matter of the heart. An unsettled heart will be troubled deep in the mountains; a calm heart will remain poised even in a bustling market. Living here is also a test and cultivation for you all...”
“Master is right! I was clinging to appearances!” The Zen Master holding the Zen Stick promptly bowed in respect.
...
Being addressed as Master by these individuals meant that this tall old man was the illustrious monk from the Buddhist Sect, the Blue Cloud Venerable.
A super-master of the Buddhist Sect.
“Hmm!”
The Blue Cloud Venerable said no more but looked towards Miao Neng not far away: “Did you make any discoveries when purchasing from the Wanxiang Sect, or did it all go smoothly?”
Miao Neng Zen Master hurriedly bowed and recounted his experience: “Reporting to Master, all went well. Upon seeing your Supreme Wanxiang Card, Master Lai Chengyi immediately came out to personally receive me and even offered a 20% discount. His attitude was excellent. If I hadn’t declined, he might’ve personally come to pay his respects...”
“It seems Elder Gu You’s card is indeed useful!”
The Blue Cloud Venerable smiled slightly. Although the Buddhist religion eschews anger and ignorance, being respected and flattered by others was still very pleasing.
“Of course, Elder Gu You’s status at the Wanxiang Sect headquarters, although not as high as Elder Gu You and others, is not low either. Your victory over him represents both strength and power! Master Lai Chengyi is just a leader of a minor branch; how could he dare neglect us? If I hadn’t insisted on declining, he might even have prepared a higher-class citizenship for us...”
Miao Neng Zen Master spoke with pride.
The Blue Cloud Venerable said: “To elevate one’s citizenship requires the augmentation of Contribution Value, but with Buddhist Sect disciples spread all over the world, if we want to be promoted, they can contribute some, there’s no need to trouble Master Lai...”
For ordinary people, earning Contribution Value is as difficult as reaching the heavens, but for powerful clans like the Buddhist Sect that already have countless followers around Tianli City spreading the teachings, over the years, who knows how much Contribution Value they have earned? Just commanding them to contribute a bit, not even to mention hundreds, even thousands would be effortless.
Such is the benefit of having the backing of a powerful clan.
What others struggle tirelessly to achieve, they can obtain effortlessly.
“Master, I am puzzled by something, I hope you can enlighten me...” the high monk with the Zen Stick carefully asked.
“Miao Wu is always astute; what could possibly perplex you?” The Blue Cloud Venerable smiled.
They had not received such treatment.
After spending over 600,000, they had only arranged for Master Lai Chengyi to plan a visit, with the purpose of meeting the Blue Cloud Venerable.
“Ah, it wasn’t sold; it was just given away by Master Lai to someone else. We are here to tidy it up well and satisfy the other party...”
Elder He said with a smile.
“Gifted?”
Miao Neng Zen Master’s pupils contracted.
This residence was actually a bit larger than the one they were staying in and more expensive. To give it away directly...
Was that true?
“Why? Could it be... some formidable figure is going to live there?” Unable to hold back, he asked bluntly.
“As to whether they’re formidable, I’m not sure, I only know that this person came with a Sky Blue Wanxiang Card!”
Elder He did not hide it and revealed what he knew.
“A card, not only gifted a residence but also helped reach the courtyard and set up formations? This...”
Realizing the situation, Miao Neng was completely dumbfounded.
Not just him, the other Zen Masters, and even the Blue Cloud Venerable himself, each felt light-headed and could hardly believe it.
“Not only that...”
Elder He chuckled softly and turned to look deep down the alley: “You all go in!”
Then, a group of subordinates and servants all came briskly towards them, heading into the courtyard.
“All these... also gifted?”
Miao Neng Zen Master inquired.
“Yes!” Elder He nodded.
“Oh my...”
Miao Neng Zen Master stood awkwardly in place, having previously boasted about how high-grade and amazing the Master’s Supreme Wanxiang Card was. Now, suddenly, it felt insignificant.
