Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 9

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

“Master Li, I have something to ask you for advice.” Walking on the rugged mountain road, Chen Luo, in order not to recall the past of the tiger demon, found a topic to divert his thoughts.

“Chen Family Head, ask away.”

“I saw you fighting the tiger demon before, why is it that just one word can have the effect of the entire battle poem?” Speaking of which, Chen Luo recalled the heroic scene of Master Li who made the golden sword appear with just a single word.

“Hahaha, so it was about that…” Chen Luo’s words seemed to tickle Master Li, and Master Li laughed and said, “It is this one’s negligence, I only talked to Master Chen about the cultivation of the demon clan before. But there is no mention of my Confucian cultivation path.”

“I appreciate additional details.”

“Confucianism practice also has divided realms.”

“This first realm is called the ‘Self-Revelation Realm’. The so-called ‘reading a book a hundred times, its meaning will naturally reveal itself’, refers to truly reading a Confucian classic, and being able to produce ‘Noble True Qu in the body.”

“The Confucian scholar of ‘self-revelation’ realm develops spiritual eyes and night vision, untouched by impurities and evil spirits.”

“The second realm is called the “Writing Realm’. It is possible to guide Noble True Qi outside the body by writing elegant prose. This is also the foundation of War Poetry. Therefore, Confucian scholars who have reached this realm have the ability to attack through practicing War Poetry.”

“The third realm is called ‘the Realm of Poetry Creation’. Confucian scholars in this realm need to create an elegant poem that is approved by the Heavenly Path in order to break through. After reaching this realm, the Heavenly Path offers rewards, and Confucian scholars have the ability to ‘export chapters ‘, a battle poem can be condensed on a specific word. Although the whole poem is not read out, the Heavenly Path still understands the poetic meaning of this word, thus forming a stronger and faster fighting force for Confucian scholars.”

　　”Of course, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world. Some people who have just entered the Writing Realm can also create their own elegant poems by writing, breaking both realms. Therefore, some people call these two realms together and praise them as ‘the strokes of the pen shock the wind and the rain, and the poems become spirits and saints’.”

　　”This one is a little stupid, I only entered the third realm five years ago, and it took another three years to integrate the “Golden Sword Poem” of the Seven Sacred Hands Master Wang into one word. Embarrassing, embarrassing…

　　Chen Luo secretly recorded in his heart that the demon clan has “blood cleansing”, “pure blood”, and “refining blood” realms; Confucianism has “self-revelation”, “writing poems” and “poetry creation”; these are the basic paths of cultivation, I don’t know what the difference is between Taoism and Buddhism, and what kind of cultivation system does the northern barbarian, that has been rumored to be the mortal enemy of the human race, have?

　　It wasn’t that Chen Luo suddenly developed a thirst for knowledge, but at this time he also began to think about his future cultivation path. Zhong Kui said that his ability is closely related to Chen Luo’s own ability. Presumably, if he summons other book spirits, the same holds true.

　　I don’t know if in the sea of ​​​​flowers in the dream, those miscellaneous books that do not exist in this world but are as vast as the sea, can help me open up a different path of cultivation?

　　But he is not in a hurry at the moment. He has only traveled to this side of the world for five or six hours. He has to solve the problem in front of him first, and there will be time to explore and think about it later.

　　Recovering his scattered thoughts, Chen Luo continued to guide Master Li to trudge forward in the Xixiu Mountain. Maybe it was the qi they used to search a while ago, or maybe it was Master Li who killed the tiger demon with great power. There was no beast interference during their whole walk.

　　Walking uphill for a while, Chen Luo saw that there was indeed a sunken cave on the mountainside. Chen Luo signaled to Master Li, Master Li nodded and recited softly: The sunlight hits the remaining fog and reveals the bathed green pines.

　　The chant was finished, and a small ball of light slowly emerged behind Master Li’s head, illuminating the ten-step scene around him.

　　Chen Luo took advantage of the sunlight summoned by Master Li and walked into the cave, and Master Li followed closely. There were some old clothes in the cave. Chen Luo glanced at them and recognized that they should be Zhou Yong’s clothes.

　　Chen Luo glanced around the cave and finally came to a rocky area. He removed the rocks one by one, took out his dagger and dug for a while, and finally saw a dark secret box.

Chen Luo took out the secret box and handed it to Master Li: “That’s it.”

　　Master Li looked at the secret box, covered his body with a layer of Noble True Qi, and cautiously opened the secret box.

　　In an instant, a blue light that was more majestic than Master Li’s body instantly illuminated the entire cave, and in this blue light, one could faintly hear the chanting of the scriptures.

　　”Immortal Literary Heart!” Master Li saw what was in the box, his face changed greatly, Chen Luo took a step closer in doubt, the Noble True Qi surrounding Master Li’s body became restless as if it regarded Chen Luo as a target to attack.

　　”Master Li!” Chen Luo shouted, Master Li turned to look at Chen Luo, Chen Luo was startled because he found murderous intent in Master Li’s eyes. After a few seconds, Master Li suddenly took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and closed the secret box. As the box cover was closed, the sky-high blue light was also locked in the secret box…

　　”Chen Family Head, just now I was just in a restless mood, and I have offended you. This immortal literary heart is of great importance, and I will inform my lord as soon as possible. Patriarch Chen, I will take the first step after I take you out of the mountain. You and your family can go home by yourself! “

　　Chen Luo nodded and was about to answer when Master Li stepped forward and grabbed Chen Luo’s arm, reciting, “A little Noble True Qi, a thousand miles transporting wind!” Chen Luo only felt that he was stepping on a soft cloud, and the oncoming wind hurt his face, making him unable to open his eyes. It wasn’t until he felt that this feeling disappeared that he realized that he was already standing outside Xixiu Mountain, Chen Ping was standing in front of him, and Master Li had disappeared.

　　”Good guy, two hours going into the mountain, took only five minutes back.” Chen Luo complained in his heart, looked at Chen Ping, and asked, “Uncle Ping, what do you know about the Immortal Literary Heart?”

　　”Immortal Literary Heart, that’s a good thing!” Chen Ping said to Chen Luo while driving the carriage, “Master mentioned to me that those who can condense that thing must be in the great Confucian realm. Going beyond the Great Confucian Realm is already a saint.”

　　”Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are different. In addition to the realm of cultivation, there is a different realm, which is independent of the realm of cultivation.”

　　”Upright words, meritorious deeds, and virtue, the master said that these are called three immortality!”

　　”As long as one of them is completed, one will be able to condense the immortal literary heart! Even if a person dies, that thing can live on in the world forever, carrying what a great Confucian had desired in his life, and it has infinite wonderful uses.”

　　”What? The rare treasure found by the tiger demon is the immortal literary heart?”

　　Chen Luo nodded slightly and said “yes”.

　　When Chen Ping heard the words, he waved his whip again: “That daring monster, that is the treasure of our human race. No wonder the tiger monster had only been in contact with it a little while, and it had already been contaminated with the power of the human race’s divine retribution.”

　　”But young master, in any case, we got it back anyway. As for who colluded with the Yihu lineage, and which Confucian scholar owns that immortal literary heart, these already have nothing to do with us. We just needed to solve the threat of the tiger demon.”

　　Chen Luo thought about it too, he just found the immortal literary heart at the right time, and he should not worry about the big men involved in the three immortal realms of Confucianism. If you have time to think such thoughts, you might as well think about your own cultivation and Chen Xuan’s eyes…

　　”By the way, Uncle Ping, now that the tiger demon has been slain, can all the servants be recalled? In such a big house, it always feels strange to not see a single person after walking for a long time… “

　　”That’s right, the ground outside the city hasn’t been moved yet. It has to be moved, otherwise, the days will be missed and the harvest will be poor.”

　　”I can’t remember. How many servants do I have? Who is the personal servant? Who is the maid that serves me in my room?”

　　”Young master, you are confused. You are alone, and Xiaohuan usually serves you in daily life.”

　　”This…my sister’s eyes are bad, Xiaohuan should take care of her full-time, so hire me a maid again tomorrow. Forget it, you can call them to me and I’ll choose them myself…”

　　”Master, let’s ask the lady about this.”

　　”What? I am the head of the family, and I can’t even decide?”

　　”That… young master, this decision, you really can’t make it…”

　　Just when Chen Luo and Chen Ping, the master, and servant, were having a heated discussion on the matter of the maid, Cai Tongchen had already sat in the middle hall and listened to Master Li’s report.

　　Master Li said angrily: “My lord, immortal literary heart is the condensed heart of a great Confucian scholar in his lifetime, and someone traded it to the demon clan. Whether bearable or unbearable, it must be reported to the court and investigated to the end!”

　　Cai Tongchen looked solemn and nodded: “It’s natural. But have you ever thought about it, the immortal literary hearts enshrined in various university palaces and aristocratic families are quite numerous, as long as there is a slight movement, they will be detected. Calculating the time of the tiger killing the Chen family, the time for the theft of Immortal literary heart is at least a month ago. However, there were no rumors about it from the court or any scholar, this is almost impossible! Unless…”

Master Li thought of something, and his face changed: “You mean…”

Cai Tongchen nodded slightly: “We haven’t realized but there is a great scholar who had been corrupted…” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
