The reason why Venerable Juyong wanted to spend the night and come back early was because the secret realm of Qingning was opened in advance.
The Qingning Secret Realm is one of the few existing secret realms that is suitable for the Qi Refining Period. In order to maintain the stable operation of the secret realm, all the major immortal sects have an unwritten agreement: the highest level of disciples who enter the Qingning Secret Realm can only reach the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen.
As soon as Hua Wanzhao returned to Gufeng, he was called away by Venerable Juyong.
"Master."
"Wanwan, Yu Shi told me everything about Fengkang City."
Hua Wanzhao looked at Lord Juyong in confusion.
Venerable Juyong sighed: "Wanwan, your way of thinking has not changed from the habits of ordinary people. People who practice Taoism should not interfere too much in the affairs of ordinary people."
"Even if it's because I feel that simply passing on the news is not enough to resolve the cause and effect between me and Liu Chengshu?"
"How do you know that your words will not create a new cause and effect?" The Venerable Juyong said with great sincerity.
Hua Wanzhao opened her mouth but said nothing.
She thought that her master was a divination cultivator and the strongest divination cultivator in the world of immortality. Could it be that he had calculated something?
That's what she thought and asked.
But Venerable Juyong shook his head: "Wanwan, not everything depends on divination and prediction. I have lived for more than 800 years for my master. There are some things that I can see with these eyes."
"But didn't Master also say that our practice must not go against our true intentions or the way of heaven. Now only Rong Niang and Brother Xuan are left in the Liu family, and they are still being plotted to seize the family property. Isn't this too much of a deception?"
Ju Yong looked at her: "So, you still don't think you did anything wrong?"
"Yes," Hua Wanzhao said firmly, "Maybe I have many problems in other aspects, but on this point, Master, I stick to my opinion."
What surprised Hua Wanzhao was that after she said this, Venerable Ju Yong actually laughed.
"Master?"
"It's good that you can stand your ground."
Hua Wanzhao pursed her lips into a straight line: "Are there no absolutes in everything?"
This question was a bit jumpy, but Venerable Juyong, who had been guiding Hua Wanzhao in this direction, immediately knew that Hua Wanzhao had understood what he said.
"Yes, it's good that you can realize this on your own."
But Hua Wanzhao still doesn’t understand why Venerable Ju Yong talks to him so solemnly: "Master, I understand the truth..."
Venerable Ju Yong said solemnly: "You do understand the truth, but did you consider the consequences when you said those words to Mrs. Liu?"
The flowers shine in the evening and are silent.
She really didn't think so much at the time.
Although she did not do divination with Venerable Juyong, she had learned a lot from it in the past two years. He once said that for divination practitioners, every divination result must be treated with caution, because you don’t know what the result will be.
What kind of new cause and effect, so many divination words cannot be fully explained.
Seeing the flowers in the evening photo, he seemed to have some enlightenment. Venerable Juyong said: "Go back and think carefully about what I just said. Go back early today, and tomorrow I will take you to the sect's warehouse to exchange some things needed to enter the secret realm."
Hua Wanzhao looked like she was waking up from a dream: "Yes, thank you for your trouble, Master. Disciple, please leave."
Returning to his cave, Hua Wanzhao imagined the possible situations based on the cause and effect mentioned by Venerable Juyong, but felt that the more he thought about it, the more complicated it became.
No wonder monks don't like to be tainted with cause and effect. Regardless of whether good causes and good results can be achieved, just having such trouble is enough to make people's heads ache.
To Hua Wanzhao, this kind of thing today is just a good deed in the previous life. I didn't expect it to have such serious consequences in the eyes of Master.
"If you suppress your original intention because you are afraid of being contaminated by karma, then what is the point of practicing Taoism?"
The long-lost machine sound appeared in the sea of consciousness.
Hua Wanzhao suddenly realized that the system had appeared: "System, you actually knew it!"
"Due to the limitations of your cultivation, the communication time between the system and the host is limited. Please don't waste time on useless complaints."
Hua Wanzhao suddenly went from bitter and resentful to angry: "System, didn't you say that I can contact you as my strength increases?"
"Last time, there was not enough time to explain. The host can only successfully connect to the system after entering the Great Stage and Great Consummation. The next connection will be when the host successfully builds the foundation."
Hua Wanzhao: This is definitely a flawed system!
Complaints are complaints, and you still have to ask what you should ask.
"System, I decided to attack Mu Linxiao. But there is a problem that I need to confirm first."
"Host, please speak."
After clearing her thoughts, Hua Wanzhao cleared her throat: "That's it... Guide Mu Linxiao, do we have to have that kind of relationship?"
"What kind of relationship?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, Hua Wanzhao actually felt that the system's flat mechanical sound had slight fluctuations.
"...the relationship between men and women!" Hua Wanzhao gritted her teeth secretly.
"Host, please rest assured. We only look at the results of the mission. As long as we can prevent the sword and wind from destroying the family, the process and means are not important. Even if the host can find a different path than the three previously proposed by this organization, as long as the result is perfect, the mission will still be considered completed."
The system's words gave Hua Wanzhao some reassurance.
Her previous 20-plus years of relationship experience were completely blank, and it would be nerve-wracking if she had to complete the task in this way.
Moreover, it seemed to her that Mu Linxiao had no intention of finding a Taoist companion.
"Host, please improve your cultivation as soon as possible. Only in this way can the system use time be extended."
After saying that, there was a bang and the connection was disconnected again.
Hua Wanzhao: What kind of faulty system is this???
***
Early the next morning, after Hua Wanzhao checked in, she followed Venerable Juyong to the sect's warehouse.
All resources in Yijian Fengsha are open to disciples, provided that you have the sect's contribution to redeem them. The sect's contribution is mainly obtained through sect tasks, and you can also turn in some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Hua Wanzhao has only done one sect mission so far, and those contributions are obviously not enough to exchange for enough resources.
After the gatekeeper disciples took them into the warehouse, Venerable Juyong took the evening light and walked around on the first floor.
The gatekeeper didn't know Juyong Juyong, so he dutifully introduced the warehouse to Hua Wanzhao.
"The Qingning Secret Realm restricts not only the cultivation level, but also the level of the magic weapon that can be carried. The entrance to the secret realm has restrictions jointly set by the elders of the five major sects. Monks who have exceeded the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection will also be forcibly suppressed in the Foundation Establishment.
Great Perfection.”
After hearing the words of Venerable Juyong, Hua Wanzhao frowned: "Master, doesn't that mean I can't even bring weapons in?"
Hua Wanzhao's epee was rented from the treasury by Venerable Juyong with his sect's contribution. It is of high grade.
Yes, it was rented. Venerable Juyong said that after she established the foundation, Qi Feng would make a natal sword specifically for her.
"Yes, so I will bring you here to find some magic weapons and talismans that you can bring in."
Venerable Juyong has only had one disciple like Hua Wanzhao for hundreds of years, and he himself has not used the sect's contribution for a long time, so he buys without mercy.
Hua Wanzhao looked at the various defensive magic weapons and spiritual treasures that were constantly put into storage bags by the accompanying disciples, and thought to herself that she couldn't tell that a master with such an immortal spirit was actually an invisible shopaholic.
Until Venerable Juyong's eyes stopped on a set of silver needles.
