Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying slapped her forehead. What a silly girl! Even at a time like this, she still doesn't know to leave quickly.

Aren't you afraid that Li Xiuyuan will eat you up, leaving not even bones behind?

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Xiuying, look, even Bai Ling has agreed, so let's not worry about her and continue!"

As he spoke, he devoured the food in no time, the fluttering bed curtains rippling in the breeze, exuding charm.

Li Xiuyuan looked at Bai Ling behind him, but saw that her face was flushed red, as if blood was about to seep out. At this moment, she was caught between not leaving and not staying.

Seeing how adorable Bai Ling was, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Bai Ling, why don't you come with Sister Xiuying too!"

Before Bai Ling could react, he pulled her over.

Ah!

Bai Ling cried out in alarm, but it was too late to escape...

She felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't she left sooner? Now she was doomed.

Chapter 152 Huiming Returns

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two women; their stunningly beautiful faces and flowing black hair made them seem like celestial beings descended to earth, radiating a captivating beauty. They were all irresistible.

However, because of Li Xiuyuan's bullying, they looked somewhat haggard.

……

The corners of their mouths curved into smiles, which, combined with their ethereal beauty, made them appear even more otherworldly.

Li Xiuyuan's lips couldn't help but curl up. These were the people he had taken in. Whether it was Hong Xiuying or Bai Ling, they were all outstanding.

Although it was their first meeting, Bai Ling was incredibly bold, completely inheriting the characteristics of a fox.

The outside world was already bright with white light, and a gentle breeze was blowing in, which felt very refreshing. Li Xiuyuan felt a little lightheaded and nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, a soft moan was heard, and Bai Ling opened her drowsy eyes. Her physique was indeed much stronger than Hong Xiuying's.

She was originally a fox, and had cultivated for a thousand years. Even if her physical strength was not as good as Li Xiuyuan's, it wouldn't be too far off.

Perhaps for some demons, physical strength is far superior to cultivation level, but Bai Ling is an exception. After opening her eyes, she said in a deep voice, "Holy Monk, don't move around. Let Bai Ling rest well!"

As she spoke, a hint of allure appeared on her face, and a smile played at the corners of her mouth, which also seemed to be a provocation.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Bai Ling, take another bite of this monk's staff!"

As he spoke, he continued the same action as before.

Woohoo!

Bai Ling opened her eyes wide, and quickly...

……

Their movements were so loud and disruptive that they must have already woken up.

However, her physique was not as good as Bai Ling's. Looking at the blooming peach blossoms on the embroidered couch, she couldn't help but think to herself that Bai Ling was indeed more powerful, even though she had just come of age.

But she was much more energetic the next day. She was much better than she had been before.

Li Xiuyuan naturally noticed that Hong Xiuying had woken up, and chuckled, "Xiuying, you should also kneel down for this humble monk!"

As he spoke, he patted her, and the two of them, unable to bear the weight, fell to their knees on the ground...

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two powerless people, who probably couldn't even move a finger, and they were like a lump of mud.

…………

Since Li Xiuyuan won over Bai Ling, he often came down the mountain to be with them. In the rest of the time, he was mostly cultivating, and his position as the abbot of Lingyin Temple was as secure as a mountain.

Furthermore, the ghost fetus extracted from Hong Xiuying's body underwent significant changes after being nourished by her blood. The ghost fetus's vitality grew stronger and stronger, perhaps even surpassing that of a Golden Core cultivator.

However, it will likely take a long time for the embryo to fully develop and emerge, as it does not develop within the mother's womb and therefore requires more nutrients.

On this day, the abbot of Lingyin Temple finally returned. Li Xiuyuan looked at Huiming, whose face was full of wrinkles, and said with a light smile, "Daoji greets Master."

Although he was only my master in name, I hadn't seen him for several years, so I still had to go and see him when I heard the news of his return.

At the same time, Guangliang and Biqing were standing by. Biqing leaned towards Li Xiuyuan without hesitation, after all, he was the one who needed to make a living, and now he had offended his Uncle Guangliang too deeply.

Upon seeing Daoji, Huiming smiled and said, "Oh! It's Daoji! After all these years, you've finally returned."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together. In the past few years, while Li Xiuyuan was away, Lingyin Temple was naturally not as good as before, but when he returned, it had changed completely.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he replied, "Yes, Master's trip has taken quite a while!"

Huiming has been away from Lingyin Temple for half a year now. The old monk is wandering around outside with two little tadpoles!

Huiming chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Daoji, I heard from Guangliang that you took away his position as abbot. Is that true?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the position of abbot, which he had originally intended for Li Xiuyuan.

Compared to Guangliang, the celestial child, Daoji was undoubtedly more promising. However, since Daoji was not present at the time, the position of abbot had to be given to Guangliang.

Now that Li Xiuyuan has returned and taken away the position of abbot, the old monk couldn't be happier! However, he cannot ignore the complaints of his disciple Guangliang; he needs to mediate the feud between the two.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Oh, Senior Brother Guangliang, you were the one who told me about this position of abbot. I didn't expect you to send me here. Even Biqing was there at the time."

Although things weren't exactly the same back then, they were pretty much the same. The most important thing was that Guangliang agreed. It wasn't exactly honorable for the two of them to gamble in the Buddhist community, so it was best not to tell anyone unless absolutely necessary.

"Yes! Yes! Uncle Guangliang cannot be untrustworthy as a person, and we monks should be even less so!"

As soon as Bi Qing opened his mouth, he immediately refuted Guang Liang's words, which had already offended the other party terribly. If anyone was the least willing to let Guang Liang become the abbot, it would probably be him.

"You...you, you're such a weathervane, you just go whichever way the wind blows."

Guangliang was furious upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to complain to his master, hoping to get his position as abbot back, but now that Biqing had said this, it was hopeless.

Huiming asked seriously, "Guangliang, is this true?"

As he spoke, his tiger-like eyes glared over. Among the disciples, he might not have much authority in front of Li Xiuyuan, since he had already awakened the memories of subduing dragons. However, Guangliang, Biqing, and the others were deeply afraid of him.

[Note: The protagonist has two identities. When he transforms into Wutian, it's difficult for him to use Buddhist techniques. Using a sword is understandable, but his demonic attack methods are somewhat limited. Readers are welcome to offer suggestions for adding more demonic attack skills.]

Chapter 153 Ten Years in a Hurry

Guangliang nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yes, Master."

As he spoke, he lowered his large head, looking like a wronged little wife as he uttered those words.

Huiming pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, Daoji will take over the position of abbot! Don't even think about trying anything funny."

He then gave Daoji a harsh rebuke, saying that he would naturally be more willing to let Daoji become the abbot.

If Li Xiuyuan were to take the position of abbot, it would be difficult for him to leave in the future. He has already been tied to Lingyin Temple's chariot.

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Master, rest assured, this humble monk will definitely manage Lingyin Temple well."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together. With the existence of the 'Divine Demon Clone Technique,' he could have his clone reside in Lingyin Temple while his true self traveled outside.

After all, his identity as the master of another demonic sect requires him to recruit a lot of talented people.

Huiming laughed heartily, stroking his white beard, and said, "I am relieved to hear you say that!"

Just kidding, with the Dragon-Subduing Venerable One around, my Lingyin Temple will definitely be even bigger.

…………

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Xiuyuan sat on the Lingyin Temple, having served as the abbot for ten years. Even Guangliang and Biqing seemed to have matured more.

Li Xiuyuan's reputation as a living Buddha and holy monk has long been known in several neighboring countries.

On this day, Li Xiuyuan sat cross-legged in the back mountain. After ten years of training, his skills were astonishing. The various resources left behind by the Dragon-Subduing Venerable had long been exhausted.

In return, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. First, let's talk about Li Xiuyuan's realm. His two primordial spirits became incomparably brilliant, and he had already entered the Earth Immortal level, and even reached the Great Perfection realm. He was only one step away from entering the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Even when the plot begins, Li Xiuyuan will feel fear. Secondly, there is the power of his physical body. He entered the Celestial Immortal level two years ago. With just this power, he can rival a Celestial Immortal level expert.

Li Xiu has entered the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. In addition, he has fully mastered the unique skills he possessed from the Dragon Subduing Technique. Due to the two supreme true scriptures, he has two primordial spirits, and the resources he needs to cultivate are twice that of others of the same level.

The better the cultivation technique, the more meticulous the polishing required. After ten years, even the ghost fetus was ready to mature. It completely solidified on the ground, growing into a small dark green grass, and on the grass, a black fruit grew.

Once fully mature, they can transform into human form. Even Hong Xiuying has entered the Golden Core realm. After all, with the guidance of the great master Li Xiuyuan, how could she not advance rapidly!

In addition, Bai Ling is not weak either. After transforming into human form, she cultivates the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, which is far more powerful than when she first appeared in the original work. She has already become a master of the Earth Immortal realm.

Although Bai Ling and Li Xiuyuan are at the same level, even if you add several Bai Lings, they would still be no match for him. This shows how powerful Li Xiuyuan is in combat.

Li Xiuyuan stopped meditating, stood up, and slipped down the mountain. When he saw the stunningly beautiful Hong Xiuying and Bai Ling, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "Xiuying, Bai Ling, I wonder if the ghost fetus has matured yet?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and casually embraced the two of them.

Over the course of ten years, the three have become extremely familiar with each other. After countless candid conversations, the two have grown to be as close as sisters.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying blushed, making one want to take a bite, and replied, "Hmm! It seems to be almost ripe; I can feel its presence."

As she spoke, she was also filled with excitement. For ten years, she had continuously nurtured the child with her own blood, a feat no less arduous than ten months of pregnancy. Now, the fruit was about to ripen and would become her daughter, filling her with immense joy.

It should be noted that Hong Xiuying was originally just an ordinary mortal, but with Li Xiuyuan's help, she has long since retained her youth.

However, as his cultivation level improved, Li Xiuyuan became almost unable to have offspring, which was undoubtedly a sad thing.

This explains why, in the Three Realms, the higher one's cultivation level, the fewer offspring one has.

Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, replying, "Yes! Since it will take some time for things to mature, why don't we enjoy some quality time together as a trio during this period?"

Before the two could react, he had already grabbed their bodies and flew quickly into the house.

Once the ghost fetus bears fruit, there will be one more person than the other three!
