The statent threw the already chaotic crowd into an even greater uproar.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew exactly what a special recruitnt ant.
Take the young prodigies of Fenglin State, for instance. Even if Liu Wufeng were to call them trash, not a single one would dare to utter a word of protest.
But a special recruitnt from Liu Wufeng was like a thunderclap in Fenglin State, causing a massive sensation.
This ant that Shen Bai’s potential was far beyond that of any re prodigy.
Abbot Huisheng said awkwardly, "Madman Liu—no, I an, Lord Liu is making a special recruitnt. In that case, I won’t force the issue."
At the ntion of the na "Madman Liu," many of the Jianghu People nodded in agreent.
"In that case, Donor Shen, please follow to your quarters," Abbot Huisheng said.
Shen Bai readily agreed with a nod.
Soon, Abbot Huisheng took the Relic and led Shen Bai away from the clearing.
Huang Guang and Kong Fang exchanged a look.
"Brother Kong, to use Brother Shen’s words, would you call this blatant slacking?" Huang Guang asked.
Kong Fang nodded. "Totally. We have to keep miserably standing guard while Brother Shen has already gone off to rest. This sucks!"
Jian Taiwen glared at the pair. "If you two can whip up a Buddhist Cultivation thod, I’ll let you go as well."
Kong Fang flinched. "But I can’t do that ’Sword Qi Transford into Buddha Light’ trick."
Jian Taiwen paused, slightly taken aback. "What’s this ’Sword Qi Transford into Buddha Light’?"
Huang Guang sidled over and began to explain Shen Bai’s Universal Sword Qi.
Jian Taiwen was left dumbfounded by the explanation, nearly forgetting his duties.
...
Unaware of what had happened after he left, Shen Bai had already been shown to his guest room in Xuanxin Temple.
Abbot Huisheng had already left, as he needed to return the Relic to its rightful place.
Shen Bai asked about Wuhua and learned that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. He was currently in seclusion, striving to reach the Five Organ Realm before the Buddhist Teachings conference began.
Since the other monk was in seclusion, Shen Bai naturally had no reason to disturb him. He remained in his room and drew his longsword, Cold Moon.
By now, Shen Bai had developed the habit of grinding his Skill Level whenever and wherever he could.
Whenever he had a convenient mont, he would grind.
Amber crouched to one side, curled up and listlessly grooming its fur.
Soon, the whistle of a sword cutting through the air filled the room.
...
Ti passed gradually amidst Shen Bai’s frantic grinding.
While Shen Bai was grinding furiously, Xuanxin Temple was also making various arrangents.
Many people from various factions, including so Loose Cultivators, had already arrived at Xuanxin Temple.
And upon arriving at Xuanxin Temple, the first thing they heard was the na Shen Bai.
Buddhist Fist Technique, a Deceitful Beast, the man specially recruited by Liu Wufeng...
With all these prestigious titles to his na, Shen Bai’s reputation gradually spread throughout Xuanxin Temple.
Shen Bai would never have imagined that while he remained holed up in his room, his fa had already reached epic proportions.
As night deepened, everyone from the visiting factions returned to their respective rooms, leaving only the mbers of the Observatory on duty.
Shen Bai was still grinding away.
There were no electric lights, but Shen Bai had lit an oil lamp.
Under the dim yellow glow of the oil lamp, every swing of Shen Bai’s longsword produced a Blood Red Sword Qi that he contained without releasing.
His Skill Level was rising rapidly, and Shen Bai was becoming completely engrossed in the process.
Amber lay on the table, fast asleep and snoring softly.
Just then, a faint breeze drifted by.
Amber, who had been fast asleep, twitched its ears. It suddenly lifted its head, a vicious glint flashing in its beautiful eyes.
"MROW!"
The chilling cry that ca from Amber’s mouth made Shen Bai freeze.
"What’s wrong?" Shen Bai asked, frowning.
A Deceitful Beast’s senses were much sharper than a human’s, especially its ability to detect the uncanny.
Although Amber was a combat-type Deceitful Beast, it still possessed their fundantal abilities.
Amber looked out the window and owed a couple more tis, an eerie, cold aura already emanating from its body.
Shen Bai picked up Amber and thought, ’I’ll go take a look.’
Amber wouldn’t be mistaken. Sothing was definitely wrong.
With this in mind, Shen Bai’s figure began to blur.
Though he was still standing in the sa spot, it was as if he no longer existed, his presence having grown incredibly faint.
Shadow Walk!
After activating Shadow Walk, Shen Bai slipped out the window, holding Amber.
Amber’s gaze remained fixed on sothing in the distance. Without hesitation, Shen Bai followed its line of sight and vanished from the spot.
...
Even late at night, so Jianghu People were still out and about.
Yet as Shen Bai moved through Xuanxin Temple, no one was able to detect him.
Xuanxin Temple was massive. Had Shen Bai been on his own, he likely would have had trouble finding his way around.
But with Amber, it was a different story.
Amber acted like a compass for Shen Bai, changing direction every so often.
Following Amber’s lead, Shen Bai soon crossed past one great hall after another, finally arriving at a more dilapidated area.
Ahead of them stood an ancient-looking hall.
Compared to the other halls in Xuanxin Temple, this one was much older, looking as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a very long ti.
There were no guards at the entrance to the hall.
Shen Bai stroked his chin. After a mont of deliberation, he lifted his foot and prepared to head inside.
But just at that mont, the faint sound of footsteps suddenly ca from outside.
Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and quietly slipped into the shadows to the side.
The footsteps drew nearer, and before long, two figures gradually entered Shen Bai’s line of sight.
Both individuals wore the robes of a Monk, but the style and color were vastly different from those of Xuanxin Temple.
In this world, a Monk’s robes also ca in different styles.
The attire of different temples always had so slight variations.
Shen Bai finally understood why Amber had been acting strangely.
In the hands of one of the two Monks was a red Handkerchief that was emitting a cold, sinister aura.
A wisp of smoke appeared before Shen Bai’s eyes, gradually forming into text.
[Bloodstained Handkerchief]
[Identification Progress: 0%]
[A wisp of Evil Qi can be used for rapid identification.]
