Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

As it spoke, it retracted its three tails.

Li Xiuyuan, puzzled, asked, "Bai Ling, what is the meaning of the tail in your fox clan?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the soft tail.

Bai Ling blushed. Such intimate contact was equivalent to touching a woman's buttocks. Fortunately, she was a fox at the moment, and no expression could be seen on her face.

Bai Ling said shyly, "Holy Monk, this tail represents the strength of our fox clan. A fox with three tails has reached the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit."

Four tails are equivalent to the Human Immortal realm. Once someone stabilizes their realm, they'll grow a tail. Each additional tail increases their realm.

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan suddenly realized and said, "In other words, a nine-tailed fox is equivalent to a quasi-saint level expert."

As he spoke, he tugged at Bai Ling's tail again.

Bai Ling felt utterly weak, rendered incredibly frail by this old rogue. She replied shyly, "Yes, yes! It's just a pity that the foxes of Qingqiu Mountain have long been wiped out."

Even the Fox Ancestor of yesteryear was merely a nine-tailed celestial fox, and since then, our fox clan has never produced another nine-tailed fox.

Chapter 135 The Fat and Thin Immortal Children

Even the Fox Ancestor of yesteryear was merely a nine-tailed celestial fox, and since then, our fox clan has never produced another nine-tailed fox.

As she spoke, she seemed a little downcast, as if lamenting the weakness of her people.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Bai Ling, don't worry, as long as you follow me obediently, I will definitely make you grow nine tails!"

Hey!

With Li Xiuyuan's abilities and the 'Saint Buddha System', he can become a saint in just a thousand years. At that time, finding some spiritual objects for Bai Ling and growing nine tails will be a piece of cake.

Bai Ling replied shyly, "Yes, I believe in the Holy Monk."

She paused, then added, "Also, could the holy monk please remove his hand from my tail? It's so embarrassing!"

Her voice grew softer and softer, yet also more alluring.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's face turned awkward. After thinking about it, he realized that a fox's tail was equivalent to a person's buttocks, which explained Bai Ling's resistance. He then chuckled and said, "Alright!"

As he spoke, he let go of her hand, and Bai Ling leaned on his shoulder.

After a short while, the man and the fox quickly returned. After Li Xiuyuan took control of the position of abbot of Lingyin Temple, he handed over all matters, large and small, to the others.

After all, although Lingyin Temple could not compare to Shaolin Temple in later generations, it was not far behind. It needed to manage the food, drink and toilet needs of hundreds of people. How could he have so much time?

Li Xiuyuan would rather spend more time cultivating than waste his time on this! Therefore, he needs a representative in Lingyin Temple to help manage affairs.

In Li Xiuyuan's mind, Bi Qing was a good candidate. Although he was the reincarnation of the Thin Immortal Child, he had not awakened his memories and relied on his silly personality.

It was appropriate to get rid of Guangliang at Lingyin Temple. Although Biqing was not the abbot at the time, he still wielded considerable power, so he immediately discarded Guangliang.

After Bi Qing joined Li Xiuyuan's side, he ran around like a lackey. As soon as he saw him return, he smiled and said, "Master Uncle Supervisor, you're back!"

As he spoke, he ran over quickly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Hmm, Biqing, has anything major happened during the time I was away?"

As he spoke, he was filled with curiosity. However, logically speaking, Bai Ling had only just taken human form, so the story shouldn't start so soon!

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing nodded and bowed, saying, "No, nothing! However, Uncle Guangliang has been complaining a lot lately."

As he spoke, he looked at the little fox on Li Xiuyuan's shoulder and exclaimed, "Wow! Uncle-Master, what a beautiful little fox! Where did you get it?"

He looked at Li Xiuyuan with a mixture of curiosity and curiosity, as if he had discovered something new.

Squeak!

The fox's cry came, seemingly saying that Bi Qing had good judgment. As for why it didn't make a human sound, it was because Li Xiuyuan had given instructions beforehand. Ordinary mortals are naturally afraid of monsters.

The reason for this can be traced back to ancient times, when the demon race slaughtered humans, and the two races were almost inherently irreconcilable.

After seeing Bi Qing flatter him, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "You have good taste. Alright, as for Guangliang, we must give him a good talking-to and send him down the mountain to beg for alms!"

"You've gotten even fatter in the years I haven't seen you; you look like a dead, fat pig."

As he spoke, he made a decision about Guangliang's matter and instructed Biqing to carry it out.

There was no other way. Li Xiuyuan didn't want to manage worldly affairs, but he still wanted to hold onto the position of abbot. So he needed a capable person, and Bi Qing came to his attention.

Bi Qing nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes! That's right. Since Uncle Guangliang came to Lingyin Temple, he has rarely gone out to beg for alms. It's only right that we let him do some work."

As he spoke, he began to curse Guangliang. He had gone to great lengths to please Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yes, I'm entrusting some matters concerning Biqing Lingyin Temple to you. Don't let me down! Otherwise, Guangliang will be your fate."

As he spoke, his tone grew colder and colder, culminating in a sinister smile.

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Uncle Daoji, please rest assured!"

Regardless, he would do his best to help manage Lingyin Temple. Firstly, he would have the power, and secondly, he could bully Guangliang, since Guangliang had done a lot to him in the past.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan's instructions were met with great fear from both of them towards him, the abbot.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this. He didn't care about anything else and prepared to return to his meditation room to thoroughly consolidate his cultivation level.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan could continue his cultivation by relying on the original relic of the Dragon Subduer. The medicinal effects of that relic were still in his stomach and had not been fully digested!

If Li Xiuyuan absorbs the techniques perfectly, he can enter the realm of a Celestial Immortal. As for why he is not a Golden Immortal, it has already been explained before. He cultivates two techniques and has two major primordial spirits, making him stronger at the same level, but he also needs more resources.

…………

Bi Qing quickly ran into the backyard and said with a smile, "Uncle Guangliang, the abbot has instructed you to go down the mountain to beg for alms!"

As he spoke, he appeared arrogantly in front of Guangliang.

Upon hearing this, Guangliang exclaimed in shock, "What? You want me to go begging for alms? That's going to kill me!"

It should be noted that since Li Xiuyuan joined Lingyin Temple, the temple has never lacked anything, and donations for incense money have been pouring in continuously, so over the years...

Guangliang had never gone down the mountain to beg for alms. Even if he did go down the mountain, it was only to purchase supplies or embezzle some money. He was furious at the moment.

Bi Qing chuckled and said, "There's no other way. This is the order from my abbot uncle. If I don't go, I won't get any dinner tonight!"

At this moment, he felt extremely satisfied; so this is what it feels like to bully someone.

The two immortal boys, originally fat and thin, were more powerful than Guangliang when they were in Lingshan, and often bullied the other.

Chapter 136 Young Master Qin

Guangliang was shocked to hear this and said, "What? No food? That won't do. People need food to survive. If you don't eat for a day, you'll be starving."

As he spoke, he quickly shook his head. Over the years, he had been eating and drinking well at Lingyin Temple, which was why he had become so obese. How could he sit still when he heard that he couldn't eat?

Bi Qing said with a smile, "Uncle Guangliang, if you don't want to be punished, hurry down the mountain to beg for alms before it gets dark!"

After all these years, I finally have a day to hold my head high. So this is what it feels like to bully others, Bi Qing thought to himself.

Guangliang roared, "Damn Daoji, Biqing, you're coming down the mountain with me!"

As he spoke, he realized he had no choice but to work desperately to earn a living.

Bi Qing shook his head and said, "No, no, this is what you should do, I don't intend to accompany you."

Now that Guangliang is no longer the abbot, there's nothing for him to curry favor with, so naturally he's unwilling to listen to him. Besides, Li Xiuyuan has entrusted him with great power; why would he want to be someone else's subordinate?

As long as you hold onto Li Xiuyuan's big thigh, you'll never have to worry about food and drink again!

Upon hearing this, Guangliang angrily retorted, "You dare betray me and collude with Daoji? You will surely die for me!"

As he spoke, his face turned furious, turning a deep liver color.

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing laughed loudly, "What betrayal? Uncle Daoji said there's a saying: 'A wise man submits to circumstances!' Now that Daoji is in charge of Lingyin Temple, naturally we must listen to him!"

With that, he quickly left the courtyard, leaving Guangliang looking completely bewildered.

"Damn Daoji, and the opportunist Biqing, I will not let you get away with this one day."

Guangliang cursed angrily, but in order to eat and drink well at Lingyin Temple in the future, he still went out to beg for alms.

…………

Guangliang and Biqing were like spice in life; they would tease each other when they had nothing else to do. After returning to his meditation room, Li Xiuyuan continued to refine the relic of the Dragon-Subduing Demon.

Three days later, Li Xiuyuan's Human Immortal realm was perfectly stabilized. With nothing to do, he would stroll around the foot of the mountain, spreading his reputation, punishing evil and promoting good, and helping others.

In addition, there's the matter of developing feelings for Bai Ling. It would be incredibly easy for Li Xiuyuan to deal with this naive little fox. Even the most clever fox spirit would find it difficult to escape the hunter's control. The feelings between the two of them have become quite deep.

Lin'an City was the new capital of the Song Dynasty. There were red buildings and painted pavilions, embroidered doors and vermilion gates, carved carriages and galloping horses.

The grand shops and towering stores displayed rare and exotic goods; the teahouses and taverns were filled with people dressed in fine clothes and wearing jeweled shoes. The streets were truly adorned with dazzling flowers, and the air was filled with the sounds of flutes and drums.

Under the gleaming sun and the fragrant scent of silk, Li Xiuyuan, dressed in monk's robes, walked down the bustling street, a fox perched on his shoulder, looking quite out of place.

Li Xiuyuan walked down the street, watching the crowds coming and going. Going down the mountain to gain a reputation was a necessary step. However, Lingyin Temple was not the only dominant sect; there were other sects around it as well.

Some of these sects are indeed no less powerful than anyone else.

Come to think of it, there are many powerful figures in this Immortal Realm, while the Buddhist sect's influence in the Eastern Continent is quite weak.

Of course, the Xuanmen sect had lost a lot of manpower due to the internal war at this time. And almost all the masters in the Jiejiao sect were listed on the Investiture of the Gods or were converted to Buddhism.

However, Dongsheng Shenzhou was ultimately not the main base of Buddhism, so it appeared weak, and the Dharma had not yet spread, so it was necessary to subdue the dragon to spread the teachings.
