Chapter 83: Chapter 83: White Lotus Joyful Zen
Lu Chengfeng left Yunxiao Hall, feeling a weight on his heart. Avenging Zhao Changzhen was not only his obsession but also a promise. If he couldn’t kill Zhou Tong, how could he explain it to his junior sister?
To Zhao Ling’Er, he felt even more guilt.
One could say Zhou Tong was the reason her family was ruined, leaving her lonely and destitute. That night in the thatched hut was nothing less than her release after suppression and pain.
He didn’t even know how to face his junior sister.
"How can one find a perfect solution in this world? Alas!"
Lu Chengfeng knew very well that the reason he was trapped in such a dilemma was greed.
He coveted Zhu Yuxian’s beauty, as well as the abundance he would gain after being with her. That Young Sect Leader who mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light was undoubtedly the most terrifying among the Half-Step Celestial Humans.
Even among the Half-Step Celestial Humans, the difference mainly lay in the Divine Skill they practiced, a difference often much greater than many would imagine.
This was no different from a stairway to heaven for him.
When Lu Chengfeng returned to Xiyun Hall, Luo Suyi was meditating cross-legged, her already fair face seemed to glow with a lustrous sheen, making her appear more solemn and sacred.
This was a Martial Arts technique Zhu Yuxian taught her, named "White Lotus Joyful Zen," which cultivated the White Lotus Body through Dual Cultivation, rendering her entire being pure and flawless, with a clear and intelligent mind.
Besides the Inner Cultivation Heart Method, this martial art included an External Skill called the White Lotus Seal Technique, encompassing Body Technique and Seal Technique, both exquisite.
This was the Secret Skill of the Great Zen Temple in Qingzhou, which Zhu Yuxian got from somewhere unknown, and it extremely suited Luo Suyi’s constitution. Coupled with her many years of cultivation of the Golden Thread Jade Robe Skill, her Dual Cultivation foundation was exceptionally solid, making her even more compatible with this Dharma Method.
After receiving the legacy of this Cultivation Technique, Luo Suyi’s cultivation progress was nothing short of astounding; in just a month, she transformed the foundation of the Golden Thread Jade Robe Skill entirely into "White Lotus Joyful Zen," reaching the Eighth Layer of this martial art.
This progress was quite shocking.
Without gifted talent, Lu Chengfeng, before Zhao Changzhen’s death before the New Year, had only just reached the Seventh Layer of the Bixiao Sword Manual.
This showed Luo Suyi’s talent in this Cultivation Technique.
Lu Chengfeng didn’t know why Zhu Yuxian favored Luo Suyi, not only teaching her this "White Lotus Joyful Zen," but also bestowing upon her seven complementary Secret Pills and personally instructing her in Yunxiao Hall every other day.
Even he, a Direct Disciple, didn’t receive such treatment.
Since cultivating this technique, Luo Suyi’s entire demeanor had begun to change subtly.
She used to be an extremely seductive woman, with heaving bosom, exaggerated hips, and a charming face, she didn’t appear to be a virtuous woman, full of allure and charm.
But recently, Luo Suyi began to change subtly. She who rarely wore white began to favor long white dresses, with her hair accessories removed, her hair simply hanging behind her, appearing plain and natural.
Although the broad robe still couldn’t hide her impressive curves, her chest was full and her hips undulated.
Yet there was an added sense of purity and tranquility, like a female scholar quietly cultivating in the mountains.
However, seeing her robe straining against her curves, and her solemn demeanor, Lu Chengfeng felt an increasing urge to desecrate her.
Especially since White Lotus Joyful Zen was originally a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, Luo Suyi’s bedroom skills had improved rapidly, recently even matching up to Lu Chengfeng.
The two would entangle for a night without any winner; if they didn’t mind the time, it would take days and nights to determine a victor.
Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but secretly bite his lips, "If this woman’s skills improve any further, won’t I be unable to withstand it? By then, the husband’s authority might falter."
Whenever he thought of this, he felt a sense of crisis.
Luo Suyi seemed to hear the door open, slowly concluding her practice, forming a lotus flower Dharma Seal with her hands, and gradually opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Upon seeing Lu Chengfeng, her face immediately showed a look of joy, "Husband, you’re back?"
"Yes, I just visited the master." Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "She also left something for me." He picked up the box in his hand and said, "Who knows what treasure is inside?"
Luo Suyi stood up from the meditation mat, her lovely curves fully revealed, and as she walked, her waist swayed lightly like a willow in the breeze, yet her upper body’s fullness seemed like it would snap that slender waist.
Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but pull her into his arms, "Woman, you’re becoming increasingly enticing; if this continues, someday I might die on you."
Luo Suyi quickly placed her finger on his lips and lightly scolded, "What nonsense are you speaking?" She let the man hold her, nestling into his embrace, and asked, "Did anything happen when you saw the master? Why do I feel your mood isn’t very good?"
Ever since cultivating White Lotus Joyful Zen, her mind had grown increasingly pure, and for someone as familiar with her like Lu Chengfeng, she could vaguely sense some of his emotions.
This was akin to the Buddhist Sect’s ability of telepathy, although not to that extent, it showed some signs.
White Lotus Joyful Zen was originally a Martial Art of the Buddhist Sect; being able to cultivate Buddhist Divine Techniques wasn’t surprising.
Lu Chengfeng sighed, recounting everything about Zhou Tong and Zhao Ling’Er but refraining from explaining what happened that night in the thatched hut.
Although with Qiutong, they could talk about the future, there were some thoughts he wished to share only with Luo Suyi.
This woman always made him feel at ease and warm; many things he didn’t want to hide, nor did he want to.
"I am truly in a dilemma now; the master doesn’t wish for me to face Zhou Tong with life and death."
"But if I don’t kill him, how could I face Zhao Changzhen and the junior sister?"
Lu Chengfeng indeed felt confused, unsure of what to do.
Luo Suyi listened to her man’s heartbeat and said softly, "Haven’t you already agreed with Zhou Tong?"
Lu Chengfeng nodded, "That’s right, it’s tonight, third watch."
Luo Suyi said, "Then go, whether to kill him or not, depends on whether you can bring yourself to do it."
Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Do you trust me so much? Zhou Tong is one of the seven tigers of the sect, with the title of Mad Tiger, his prowess under the elder is unmatched."
"If I am uncertain when making a move, with impure thoughts and a lack of determination, one wrong decision could mean my death."
Luo Suyi couldn’t help but laugh within his embrace, "You may deceive others, but you can’t deceive me."
"I was also fooled by you before, but recently, since I practiced White Lotus Joyful Zen, and we dual cultivate on the bed, blending spirit and desire, I can sense your Cultivation Realm."
"Even with our minds intertwined, I can feel the sharpness within you, if not for lacking a bit of Inner Strength, your Sword Intent could be achieved in one go."
"Such attainment, even among the seven tigers of the sect, they wouldn’t surpass you, otherwise they’d already have mastered Sword Intent."
Lu Chengfeng was genuinely surprised, never imagining that White Lotus Joyful Zen would have such marvelous effects, even revealing some of his foundation.
"You brazen Bodhisattva, daring to spy on my secrets, let’s see how I settle with you, take this."
He scooped Luo Suyi up and moved towards the window.
"You’re really... a life-or-death battle is imminent, aren’t you afraid of having weak knees at the time? Moreover, this Barbarian refuses to relent from the start, aren’t you worried about missing the two-hour?" Luo Suyi laughed, without resisting or refusing.
Lu Chengfeng opened the window, letting the cold wind in, turning Luo Suyi’s back to him, "Who cares, let him enjoy the cold wind on the mountain first, I’ll teach you a lesson, you brazen Bodhisattva."
...
In the piercing cold wind, suddenly came the sound of Zen chanting.
