Transmigration begins with archery training

Everyone sat cross-legged on it, quietly listening to Master Qiu Mingzi's teachings.

Chen Sanshi found a corner to sit down and listened for a while, only to find that all the sentences were obscure and difficult to understand.

"The Five Qi are the profound and true essence, expounding the Dharma to guide those lost in delusion. There is no form beyond form, and the ultimate truth is sought within truth."

"..."

He found it tedious and boring, almost to the point of falling asleep, because what was being said was mostly empty rhetoric and grandiose.

Fortunately, the sermon did not last long and ended before dark.

"Lord Chen is late."

Shao Yujing said with a smile, "Before the sermon begins, everyone will drink a bowl of nourishing soup so that they can calm their minds and gain some understanding of the Great Dao."

"What Sect Leader Shao said is absolutely right."

Qiu Mingzi walked over with a whisk in his hand: "People are all restless and impatient, especially those who practice martial arts. Lord Chen, please come earlier next time and don't miss the time for quiet prayer."

"sure."

Chen Sanshi agreed verbally, but he couldn't understand it in his heart.

If that's all there is to it, then Shao Yujing and the others are simply wasting their time coming here.

Cultivating immortality requires spiritual energy.

What's the point of just listening to the Taoist priest mutter a few words here? He's not going to take out the incense for everyone to use.

Lost in thought, Chen Sanshi glanced again at the medicine pot containing the Nourishing Spirit Soup.

The herbal medicine in the jar had been almost completely divided up, leaving only a few dregs. It was these dregs that made his heart tremble.

[Nourishing Spirit Soup: After taking it, one can calm the mind and focus the spirit, which is helpful for breakthroughs in cultivation.]

【？？：？？】

In his eyes, the medicine jar contained not only nourishing soup, but also another kind of medicine!

Moreover, I don't recognize this kind of medicine!

The entry for "[Seeing Medicine to Understand Prescriptions]" can decipher all common prescriptions.

If it can't be recognized, it can only mean that...

The other medicine in the jar is no ordinary medicine!

Miraculous medicine!

How could celestial medicine appear here?

Was it mortals using elixirs of immortality, or did a miracle occur?!

Ciyun Temple indeed has a big problem.

"Master Chen?"

Qiu Mingzi’s soft voice rang out: “I have some free time recently, so I may give a sermon soon. Lord Chen can come earlier, drink the nourishing soup, and listen to the sermon. He will surely gain something from it.”

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi reacted quickly, showing no abnormality on his face, and agreed, "I will definitely come when I have time."

The sermon ends.

The martial artists descended the mountain one after another, discussing their gains in their mental state along the way.

Chen Sanshi felt even more uneasy.

What did Qiu Mingzi give these people to drink?

Poison? Elixir of immortality?

what's the effect?

Chen Sanshi inquired with Shao Yujing and learned that the sermons had only started about six months ago.

He then subtly inquired whether drinking the nourishing soup regularly had any side effects, and the answer he received was that it had none at all; it would only make one feel refreshed and calm.

"Incense, elixirs..."

What does Ciyun Temple want to do?

"It can't really be about doing a good deed and helping martial artists break through, can it?"

I can no longer visit Ciyun Temple!

That's how it was before the energy was neutralized.

Master and his four senior brothers set off for the capital more than half a month ago. Even if they were still here, I don't know how to explain it. His "Qi Observation Technique" and many other things are inexplicable.

Moreover, we don't know what Ciyun Temple is up to. So far, it seems they haven't harmed anyone, so we can only observe them secretly and figure out their purpose before making any further moves.

I bid farewell to Shao Yujing.

Chen Sanshi summoned Qianxun, but instead of going straight home, he drove around on the wide official road in Liangzhou City.

Someone is following him again!

The opponent's cultivation level was much higher than his, so he could only detect their presence by observing their aura, but he could not confirm their identity. It could be Cao Fan, the Splitting Moon Manor, or even his senior brother.

This is also why he has been hesitant to take the furnace and cauldron up the mountain to conduct experiments with the strange fire.

What a hassle!

After chasing the white swan horse for a few laps, the tracker realized he had been exposed and was being made a fool of, so he gave up and stopped chasing.

Chen Sanshi then went to Piyue Manor, tossed a note to the gatekeeper, and then returned home.

Siqin had been waiting for a long time in front of her house.

"Master, Eunuch Hou has arrived and is waiting for you in the guest room in the front yard."

"Him? Take me there."

Chen Sanshi roughly knew what the other party had come for.

"Lord Chen, it's been a long time!"

Eunuch Hou stood up and said, "Since you won the championship, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet!"

"Please sit down, Eunuch Hou."

Chen Sanshi instructed, "Siqin, quickly go with Mohua and invite some good cooks to our house. Today I want to keep my father-in-law company for a few drinks."

"No need to trouble yourself. We're just here to say a few words and then we'll leave."

Eunuch Hou scared the maid away with a look, then lowered his voice and asked, "I wonder what Supervisor Sun taught you after you became a disciple, Lord Chen?"

"..."

really.

Chen Sanshi's guess was correct.

This chief eunuch had the same purpose as Lü Ji: to inquire about immortal techniques.

The difference is that the eldest brother is acting for himself.

The eunuch in front of them was working for the emperor!

Today, his loyalty will likely be tested once again.

That old emperor is utterly boring.

"They're all here."

Chen Sanshi laid out the secret manual, along with the gifts his fellow disciples had given him, including the wooden fish, on the table.

"This……"

Eunuch Hou took the wooden fish drum and tapped it twice lightly: "Is that all?"

"Gone."

Chen Sanshi spoke earnestly: "Everything is here. The Grand Master just threw me a few booklets, but didn't teach me any methods to break through to the Martial Saint level."

How did you know what we wanted to ask?

Eunuch Hou said with a smile, "Lord Chen, you are truly very clever!"

In this situation, the more Chen Sanshi pretends to be stupid, the more the other party will suspect that he has something. It would be better to be honest, which would make him appear innocent and avoid suspicion.

"Everyone in the world is after immortal techniques, how could I not know that?"

He said in a deep voice, "Please convey a message to His Majesty: if one day the Commander-in-Chief is truly willing to pass on his teachings to me, I will certainly hand them over to the court immediately and would never dare to keep them to myself."

"Lord Chen is truly a loyal and capable minister of our Great Sheng Dynasty!"

Eunuch Hou was very pleased: "His Majesty will surely be delighted to hear this. In that case, I'll be leaving now."

"Please wait a moment, Eunuch Hou."

"Is there anything else, Lord Chen?"

"I have something important to discuss."

Chen Sanshi whispered in his ear, and after speaking, he took out a three-thousand-tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is a tribute that should have been given long ago. Please accept it, Father-in-law."

"Yo~"

Hou Gonggong accepted the silver, beaming from ear to ear: "Don't worry, Lord Chen. You and I are both officials of the court, and I will absolutely not stand idly by."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Father-in-law."

Chen Sanshi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

That night.

He ate some snacks and drank some wine alone in the kitchen, waiting for the show to begin.
