Chapter 378: True Fellow Villager, Love Orgy! Bodhi Jewel Forest (Part 2)
Chapter 378: True Fellow Villager, Love Orgy! Bodhi Jewel Forest (Part 2)
But Lin Fan instantly saw the flaw: "The question is, how do you touch them?"
"Don’t you need to be stronger?"
"Don’t you need to be fast enough and have strong enough defenses?"
"Otherwise, how can you charge through their attacks to get close enough to touch them?"
"Just because you want to?"
Liu Jianmin immediately retorted, "Rubbish!"
"Am I not aware of that? If I didn’t know, why would I ask you for the Dao Convergence Pill? Why would I earn money? Although I’m a manwhore… do you think I have no limits?"
"Isn’t it all to gather resources and become stronger?"
"Otherwise, why would I do such a thing? Even if it’s not the real deal, it’s still annoying, right?"
"So, I’m giving you this opportunity."
"Be my disciple."
"I’ll give you endless pills and teach you invincibility arts and techniques, and I’ll take you flying."
"How about that?!"
Just as Liu Jianmin said, why would Lin Fan need to say so much?
Wasn’t it to persuade… no, to make Liu Jianmin become his disciple?
Being a manwhore might be disgusting to a straight man, but as long as he didn’t get too close, Lin Fan could tolerate it.
Moreover, the Love Orgy technique was genuinely powerful, even bordering on perverse.
This much could be seen from Liu Jianmin’s confidence.
Lin Fan was certain that he wasn’t just boasting.
The most perverse aspect of the Love Orgy technique was that it couldn’t be resisted, not even by a Holy Sovereign!
Just like how aphrodisiacs aren’t poisons, and various antidotes won’t work against them.
Strictly speaking, the Love Orgy technique wasn’t an ‘attack.’
Lin Fan wasn’t sure what kind of ability it was or how it worked, but he was certain it wasn’t an attack.
Since it wasn’t an attack, conventional defenses were ineffective.
At least, conventional defenses were ineffective!
Defenses are designed to defend against attacks!
And attacks generally fall into three categories: physical, spell, and soul.
Beyond these, there are some unorthodox attacks, such as curses.
Typically, conventional defenses are not very effective against unorthodox attacks like curses, and most cultivators can easily fall victim to them. How many could resist something like the Love Orgy, which isn’t an attack at all?
Probably…
No one would expect to one day encounter an enemy who could make them ‘die of pleasure,’ right?
So…
As long as the opponent’s mind was normal, they couldn’t resist the Love Orgy.
If they can’t resist…
It’s a divine skill!
Liu Jianmin’s strength was still relatively weak, so he had to hide.
Even though the Love Orgy could be considered ‘true damage,’ he couldn’t afford to take risks. His raw strength was too poor, and he could easily be killed.
But he was different!
He could handle a few rounds against a Ninth Stage cultivator.
Even against a Holy Sovereign, with the Celestial Guardian Shield, he could hold out for a while.
With the shield, he could charge to their side and give them a Love Orgy…
Wouldn’t that make them lose their minds in pleasure?
But the prerequisite was that he had to make Liu Jianmin become his disciple or persuade him to join the Moon Embrace Sect.
Otherwise, no matter how good the idea, it would be useless.
"I don’t believe you for a second!"
"Even though we’ve cooperated once, you’re still in the negatives with me!"
"Don’t try to trick me."
"So stop bullshitting."
"Go check your intel."
Lin Fan: "…"
Damn!
Tang Wu, no, that damn Tang Divine King, why do you have to do so many heinous, heartless, and morally corrupt things?
Why can’t you do something good for once?
If your reputation wasn’t so terrible, I wouldn’t be in such a difficult position.
Although I could use my real identity later, it wouldn’t be as smooth or comfortable.
And what if something goes wrong later? Wouldn’t that be a disaster?
Damn it!
It’s all that kid’s fault.
Lin Fan didn’t persist.
He couldn’t reveal his identity now, and further insistence could backfire.
He casually chose a room, took out a jade slip, and began reviewing the information about the Bodhi Jewel Forest.
"Before this, the Bodhi Jewel Forest had always been unremarkable."
"As is well known, it has been meticulously cultivated by the Buddhist Sect, a ‘Sacred Land of Resources’ created through the hard work of generations."
"But since Sister Wu saw the scene where the core of the Bodhi Jewel Forest was shrouded in dark qi, completely obscured, it proves that something must have gone wrong."
By comparing the information he had gathered, Lin Fan found that this intel had some value.
He could identify some ‘subtle flaws.’
For example, a senior monk had once passed by the Bodhi Jewel Forest from a distance and heard a bone-chilling scream.
The scream didn’t sound human, and it was impossible to describe what kind of creature had made it, but the terror it instilled was unforgettable, becoming a nightmare for those who heard it.
There were also rumors that more than one ‘Buddha’ guarding the Bodhi Jewel Forest had vanished without a trace.
No one knew where they had gone.
It was as if they had suddenly disappeared.
Even more disturbingly…
Some of the Bodhi trees were found to have yellowing leaves, appearing to be on the verge of death. When this was mentioned to the guards, they only scolded the individuals and strictly forbade them from spreading the news.
Although this information came from Liu Jianmin’s guests and couldn’t be verified,
The combination of all these issues was enough to indicate a problem.
And Bodhi Jewel Forest is the lifeblood of the entire Buddhist Sect. With so many incidents occurring, if they weren't carefully investigating, they would be rushing to 'cover their mouths'. This itself reveals something eerie.
Combined with what Sister Wu saw, it is enough to conclude that the problem lies within Bodhi Jewel Forest. As long as one infiltrates, they will discover the secrets of the Buddhist Sect and the 'thunder' they have buried!
"We didn't take the wrong path."
"This matter can't be rushed, let's wait for now."
"I hope that 'bald guest' will come soon."
They waited for several days.
During this time, Liu Jianmin would return daily, bringing people back... He was pimping for himself, then after touching them, he would take away their entire fortune. Truly a unique individual.
Lin Fan was curious and used the Eightfold Mirror Technique to observe several times.
He discovered that Liu Jianmin indeed wasn't engaging in such despicable acts.
This made it slightly easier for Lin Fan to accept.
They waited for ten days.
After ten days, Liu Jianmin still hadn't returned. He contacted Lin Fan through divine sense transmission, "Tang, the person you're waiting for will come tonight."
"I'll make him understand, and then you can leave quickly!"
"Did you hear me?"
...
The moonlight shone like water.
The bright moonlight fell upon the courtyard, adding a touch of tranquility to the already elegant small courtyard.
Lin Fan strolled in, pushing open the door to the room where Liu Jianmin conducted his business.
"Here, on the bed."
Liu Jianmin was washing his hands, and at the same time, he turned his head towards the bed with a disgusted look.
Lin Fan looked up.
A fat monk with a big head and ears was lying on the bed. Unlike the laughing Arhat he had seen through the Eightfold Mirror Technique, who was quite amusingly fat.
He laughed like a ball.
But this monk was genuinely fat.
He was a pile of fat.
It was evident that he had indulged in greed.
However, it wasn't surprising, as he was in charge of procuring and transporting supplies. Not being greedy would be the strange thing, and it was the same in any world.
"No wonder you're washing your hands. Reasonably speaking, if you touch this thing and don't wash your hands, it would be disgusting enough to lose your appetite for three days." Lin Fan nodded in agreement, "Although we generally don't eat meals now."
With high cultivation, fasting is just a basic operation.
Ordinary meals are rarely consumed.
If one wants to satisfy their appetite, they would eat things with 'nutrition' and 'benefits', like Eight Treasures Chicken, which is delicious and never gets boring.
"Tang, don't try to flatter me."
Liu Jianmin rolled his eyes, "Just say what you want him to do, and I'll make it happen."
"Then I'll take care of it, and you can quietly leave."
"Oh?!"
"You know who I am?" Lin Fan asked.
"How fresh!"
"Tang Wu in the Western Domain is almost universally hated. Who doesn't know about him? It's just that I'm a transmigrator, otherwise I would have reported you and gotten rich."
"Hey, you're quite wise. If you had reported me, I guarantee you wouldn't have gotten rich, and you might have even lost your life."
"What are you saying? Do you really think you've got me cornered? I am..."
"Hmm?! Do you mean the Buddhist Sect will take action against me?"
"What else? Do you think the Buddhist Sect is something good?"
Lin Fan scoffed, then pointed at the fat man on the bed who was constantly humming, irritating both eyes and ears, "Well, we're chatting here, and he's here too. Is that okay?"
"What's the problem? Don't underestimate me, you jerk!"
"After being hit by my Love Orgy, even if I tell him to die, he won't hesitate."
"At least, with his level of strength."
Liu Jianmin smirked, full of confidence.
"That's good."
"I don't know how to say it." Lin Fan scratched his chin, "Just order him to find a way to bring me in."
"Alright, but as I said before, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help you sneak in."
He approached the fat man, frowning, "Well, my hand-washing was for nothing."
At the same time, the multicolored light ball reappeared in his hand, and he pressed it onto the fat man's forehead. In almost a second, the light ball disappeared, and the 'fat' man who had been constantly humming and even twitching, suddenly turned pale and fainted.
"Did you give him too much pleasure?" Lin Fan felt his scalp tingle.
"It's not that bad."
Liu Jianmin washed his hands again, "But this time, the 'quantity is a bit large', so it's normal for him to faint for a short time."
"In any case, I've taken care of your request. When he wakes up, his only thought will be to find a way to help you sneak into Bodhi Jewel Forest."
"You can take him away now."
Remember to leave through the back door, don't let anyone see you!"
"..."
"The way you do business, you really turn your back on people."
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Remember to stay alive, we'll meet again."
Lin Fan waved his hand and left, wrapping the fat man in his Yuan Li. Fortunately, Liu Jianmin lived alone in the wilderness, so even with a person floating beside him, Lin Fan wasn't noticed.
About half an hour later, the fat man suddenly sprang up, his movements agile and not at all like what one would expect from someone of his physique.
However, this wasn't strange, as he was a Seventh Stage cultivator.
Buddhist cultivators also place more emphasis on the physical body, so such a reaction wasn't unusual.
"Master Tang."
He bowed to Lin Fan, "To enter Bodhi Jewel Forest, it's actually... quite simple, but also quite troublesome."
"Speak."
For a tool like him, Lin Fan naturally had no intention of asking his name or deepening their relationship.
Achieving the goal was above all else.
"It's like this."
The fat man struggled to squeeze out a smile, "You should know that Bodhi Jewel Forest is protected by an array that is no weaker than Sacred Land-level arrays, and there are nearly ten Ninth Stage Buddhas guarding it at all times.
"So, forcing our way in is basically impossible."
"I can't do it either."
"Therefore, we can only sneak in when I deliver supplies."
"So, you can only transform into something at that time and let me bring you in, such as my hair, or some kind of accessory."
"It sounds simple, but in reality, it's as difficult as climbing to the heavens."
"At the entrance of the formation, there are three Ninth Stage experts who are proficient in detection, guarding the area. Unless your transformation technique is at the Immortal Rank or even higher, you will definitely be discovered."
"And the consequence of being discovered is that you and I will both be illuminated by the Buddha's Light."
"I believe you understand this as well."
"So..."
'Big Profit' looked at Lin Fan cautiously: "Are you sure you want to go?"
"Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm afraid of dying and don't want to take you with me. But if I end up getting you killed as well, it would be too much of a loss, don't you think, Senior Tang?"
"..."
Lin Fan's perspective was that he would most likely be discovered, and then both of them would be exposed. Yet, he agreed without hesitation!
"!!!"
"After dealing with the Mahayana Buddhists, we must find a way to bring Liu Jianmin back to the Moon Holding Sect."
"If all else fails, we should at least maintain a good relationship and try not to make them our enemies. This skill..."
"I can't accept it if it's used against me, but if it's an enemy, without a one-hit kill, I'll be in deep trouble!"
"..."
"We'll do as you say."
As Lin Fan pondered, he directly instructed 'Big Profit' to bring him inside.
He could transform himself!
"When will you deliver supplies next?"
"In three days."
Big Profit's face was full of smiles, but this smile was uglier than crying.
Oh, I'm done for!
I won't see the sun on the fourth day!
But...
Why am I going? Why?
Ah?!
"..."
...
Three days later, outside the Bodhi Jewel Forest, Big Profit arrived with a Storage Pouch, swinging it as he walked.
The string of Buddha Beads around his neck was clearly larger than ordinary beads, but it looked unusually small hanging on his neck.
"Three Buddha Masters."
"A humble monk has come to deliver supplies."
"Please open the formation entrance."
He knelt down with a smile, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, requesting to open the door.
Soon, the formation was activated.
Big Profit quickly entered.
The formation closed behind him.
Inside the entrance, three Ninth Stage Buddhist monks opened their eyes and scanned him.
Big Profit still had a smile on his face, showing no sign of panic, but cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
"Why are you sweating so much?"
One of the Buddha Masters spoke up.
"This..."
Big Profit smiled awkwardly: "I'm too fat, I was in a hurry when I came here."
He seemed calm.
In reality, his heart was racing, and his heart was about to explode! The three Buddha Masters scanned him for a moment, but they didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"Go in."
One of them said.
"Yes."
Big Profit walked in with a smile.
But before he could take two steps.
"Wait!"
"!"
Big Profit immediately stopped, forcing himself to control his facial expression to prevent it from twitching, and then said: "Do the three Buddha Masters have any other instructions?"
Another Buddha Master spoke up: "You should eat less."
"You're too fat."
"!"
A double-entendre.
Big Profit knew they were hinting at him to eat less.
But...
At this moment, why are you pointing out my flaws? If you didn't notice, I would have been overjoyed! His scalp went numb, and he quickly agreed. He then gradually ventured deeper, only letting out a sigh of relief when he was far enough from the three Buddha Masters.
Earlier, he had even been afraid to breathe too hard!
Too scary!
Thank goodness I managed to sneak in, oh yeah! I'm doing this for Senior Tang.
...
He continued deeper.
But...
Lin Fan didn't follow.
A 'thread' fell from the monk's robe.
But after landing, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only a small insect flying away.
The supplies Big Profit delivered were for the monks who cultivated and cared for the Bodhi trees in the Bodhi Jewel Forest.
It wouldn't be right for Ninth Stage 'lords' to come and tend to the trees, would it?
So, there were also many monks among them.
They were carefully selected, not necessarily smart or powerful, but definitely honest and diligent.
Lin Fan already knew this information, so he didn't go with Big Profit. It was better to explore on his own since there were many people and eyes around.
The Bodhi Jewel Forest was vast, much larger than a primitive forest.
But it wasn't completely filled with Bodhi trees.
There were still some empty spaces around.
Lin Fan flew over the empty areas and soon approached the region with Bodhi trees, quickly noticing something unusual.
"Indeed, many Bodhi trees have withered and turned yellow!"
"No, they're even turning black."
"In normal circumstances, the Buddhist Sect would have been in a panic, searching all over the Immortal Martial Continent for capable people to come and treat the trees. But now, they're acting as if nothing is wrong..."
"There's definitely a problem!"
Lin Fan flew into the sky and saw that the entire forest was in the same condition.
"From the outside, it looks lush and green, but the inside is completely different."
"Is there a mixture of illusions within the formation?"
"I want to see what secret you're hiding."
