Chapter 5
A Different Wulongyuan

The levels of the Yi Jin Jing are divided into First Level, Second Level, Red Level, Yellow Level, Blue Level, White Level, and Black Level.

The completed Yi Jin Jing is called the Seven Levels of Stupa, also known as the Black Level Stupa.

The completed Yi Jin Jing, when cultivated to its peak, can protect against water, fire, and poison. It can make the five senses sharp, make the body indestructible and capable of splitting mountains and rocks, and even connect with cosmic energy to make the inner Qi inexhaustible.

It can be said that the Yi Jin Jing is perfect in all aspects, including the Iron Shirt Technique, but it is easier to cultivate than the Iron Shirt Technique.

If the Yi Jin Jing and the Iron Shirt Technique are cultivated together to completion, their power will be even more terrifying. However, only the original Bodhidharma ancestor achieved this, and no one has succeeded since then.

Now, this opportunity lies before Yun Yi.

Sitting on the bed, Yun Yi began to practice the movements of the Yi Jin Jing.

Although he hadn't cultivated it in the eight years since he obtained the Yi Jin Jing, he had already memorized the method of cultivation.

Soon, Yun Yi entered a state, and a wisp of smoke began to circulate around his body.

The smoke came from Yun Yi's pores.

This is the First Level of the Yi Jin Jing, opening up all the pores of the body.

Then, Yun Yi's pores began to expel transparent sweat beads.

This is the Second Level of the Yi Jin Jing, expelling impurities from the body. Even poison can be expelled through the pores.

However, Yun Yi had been cultivating the Child-hood Technique and the Iron Shirt Technique since childhood, and his body was already free of impurities.

Moreover, due to his breakthrough to the innate realm, Yun Yi's body had once again ascended from its original foundation, becoming an innate body, with even more terrifying potential and comprehension.

The originally difficult Yi Jin Jing was as easy as eating and drinking for Yun Yi.

Thus, Yun Yi began to cultivate wholeheartedly, and time flowed rapidly.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and a month passed.

During this month, Yun Yi didn't spend all his time cultivating like a closed retreat. He would come out every day to eat and play with Xiao Wen, Xiao Long, and the others.

Cultivation is important, but it's also important to work and rest.

Spending time with these cheerful companions every day made him happy, which in turn made his cultivation progress even faster.

In a month's time, Yun Yi had gained a lot. He was now stronger than before, and even among those in the innate realm, he was considered quite powerful.

However, Yun Yi now put down his cultivation and prepared to do something else, his master's birthday was approaching.

Leaving his room, Yun Yi intended to find his master.

But the first thing he saw was Xiao Long practicing.

“Xiao Long, where are Xiao Wen and Big Brother?”

Yun Yi asked Xiao Long.

“Senior Brother, Xiao Wen and Big Brother went out to earn money. They said they want to buy a big birthday cake for Master.”

Xiao Long replied slowly, hearing Yun Yi's question.

“Those two rascals, we're not short of money.”

Yun Yi said helplessly.

He probably knew what Big Brother was thinking, wanting to buy his master a birthday present with the money he earned himself.

The Wu Long Monastery didn't lack money. Although it had declined, it still received some incense money from worshippers.

There weren't many temples in Hong Kong Island. Even a few worshippers would be enough for the Wu Long Monastery to live comfortably for a long time.

Moreover, a few years ago, Yun Yi had saved a man who was being chased down, and that man was the now-famous gambling god, Gao Jin.

Later, Gao Jin directly donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars to the Wu Long Monastery, which made their finances soar.

Because of this, Yun Yi's prestige in the Wu Long Monastery surpassed even his master's, and he could practically walk all over the place.

“Just let them be. Your progress is quite impressive, Xiao Long.”

Yun Yi looked at Xiao Long after regaining his composure.

With just one glance, he saw Xiao Long's situation. Xiao Long's Child-hood Technique had already reached the entry level.

As expected of the first person after Yun Yi. With Xiao Long's current cultivation speed, breaking through to the innate realm was almost a matter of time. His talent was even stronger than their uncle, the meditation master.

“Hehe, it's all thanks to Master and Senior Brother's teaching.”

Xiao Long said shyly.

Besides his talent, it was also due to the Abbot and Yun Yi's teaching. Both of them shared their years of insights without reservation, allowing Xiao Long to cultivate without bottlenecks and progress rapidly.

“Keep at it. I believe you will become the second best of the Wu Long Monastery.”

Yun Yi encouraged Xiao Long.

Xiao Long was already at the first-rate level, and even Big Brother might not be his equal. Breaking through to the innate realm before the age of 20 was still very possible.

Hearing Yun Yi's encouragement, Xiao Long was very excited. This was an encouragement from the first master of the Wu Long Monastery.

He must become the second best of the Wu Long Monastery.

After guiding Xiao Long for a while, Yun Yi went towards the Abbot's room.

The Abbot was meditating in his room, and he sensed Yun Yi's presence at the doorway.

“Come in.”

The Abbot called out to the door.

“Master, you're so amazing, you sensed me so quickly.”

Yun Yi walked in, smiling.

“Stop flattering me. With your dense Qi and blood, I could sense you from miles away.”

The Abbot laughed at Yun Yi.

Then, he made room for Yun Yi, and Yun Yi didn't hesitate to sit beside the Abbot.

“It seems like yesterday, you were still so small. Time flies.”

The Abbot looked at Yun Yi in front of him and sighed.

The most correct thing he had done in his life was to bring Yun Yi back to the Wu Long Monastery.

It was hard to imagine that the baby in his arms back then would achieve such great things.

“However… it would be even better if you had a girlfriend. I want to hold my grandson.”

“……”

Yun Yi was speechless. His master always managed to shock everyone with his words.

“Master, this is against the precepts.”

Yun Yi said helplessly.

It was simply bizarre that the Abbot wanted to have grandchildren.

He was the true direct disciple of the Abbot. Strictly speaking, he was actually the Big Brother, because Big Brother was a "带发修行" (Buddhist monk who does not shave their hair) and was not pure.

“What precepts? He can just lay down his vows, have a good time, and come back later.”

The Abbot said nonchalantly.

The Wu Long Monastery wasn't that strict about such things. The incident with the meditation master wasn't actually serious. The problem was that the woman he loved was the daughter of the leader of the 魔教 (demon cult), and she had ulterior motives.

This made the situation spiral out of control, and he was eventually punished by being sent to meditate in solitude, which was essentially leaving the Wu Long Monastery.

This was a regret for the Abbot, and because of this, he had a more open-minded view on these matters.

Unless someone truly intended to become a monk and didn't want to be involved with the world, then they had the opportunity to marry and have children.

Like Big Brother, Yun Yi, Xiao Long, and Xiao Wen, the Abbot had given them the choice so that the tragedy wouldn't repeat itself.

They were all his children, and rather than letting them stay in this dilapidated temple like himself, the Abbot would rather they have a better future.

Of course, it would be even better if they could also help the Wu Long Monastery soar to new heights.

Just like Yun Yi, not only did he make a name for himself, but he also brought two supreme scriptures and 20 million Hong Kong dollars to the Wu Long Monastery.

Such a disciple was simply a treasure beyond compare.
