Divine Brilliance - Chapter 864
Chapter 864: Dao Contained Within Food
Along with her voice spreading out, Jingyin stepped beside him. Her eyes which were distinctly white and black were filled with a blaming and annoyed intent.
Zong Shou was helpless and turned around. As expected, this little brat was holding an exquisite looking rice box.
Without needing to guess, he knew that it was food and medicine within.
The medicine was okay. The Shuiyue Convent Head was indeed strong in the Medicine Dao. She could even be above Xuanyuan Yiren.
She helped him check out his meridians, although she was unable to solve his Marrow Burning pain, she was able to prepare medicine that could ease the pain and suppress the burn.
Although the effect wasn’t large for him, it was better than nothing.
As for the food, Zong Shou was at the Spirit Realm and had gone past the stage when he needed worldly food to fill himself. His body was like a little world, able to be self-sufficient.
Not to mention 1-2 days, even if he didn’t eat for hundreds of years, he would still be just fine.
This little girl didn’t believe him and said that her Master was Peak Heaven Realm, but needed three cows worth of food for a meal. Since he was sick, he needed food to supplement and replenish his body.
This was why she would still send over medicine and rice for all three meals.
Zong Shou was speechless and could only allow her to do what she wished.
This brat had just started cultivating so she used the opinions of normal people to look at the world. She didn’t have the concepts of Spirit Realm and Celestial Realm people. Probably in her eyes, her Master was the strongest.
How could he be the same as normal cultivators? Even her Master, that teacher eating three cows a meal was to cultivate.
When one used the Martial Path to cultivate their body, the consumption was the highest. Zong Shou had similar experiences before. At that time, he was really hungry and craved large amounts of food, wishing that he could swallow everything.
He tried to persuade her but she didn’t listen, so Zong Shou stopped bothering to explain. It wasn’t that he was lazy to speak to her or that he treated her with disdain, but that he was happy to see her do that and was feeling joyous.
He took the rice box. After opening it, he first swallowed the medicine in one mouth.
The medicine seemed to have improved greatly. After he swallowed it down, he felt an ice-cold intent rise up in his chest and stomach.
The Sky Burning Flame which was charging at his acupoints was being suppressed.
Zong Shou’s eyes instantly constricted.
As expected, Monk Xiaoyue knew that his body had the Lu Family Blood in it.
If not for her knowing the real cause of his illness, it would be tough for her to design such a medicine formula to treat the root problem.
Thinking back to half a day ago when he saw that magnanimous looking female monk with an earthly aura and the fact that she swallowed three cows worth of food each meal, Zong Shou burst out laughing.
Originally, when they cultivated their bodies, Kong Yao and Ruoshui also couldn’t act delicate and look gentle. However, with a Royal Demon Pill that Xuanyuan Yiren refined for them, just one alone could be compared to a cow. The effect was much better.
What a waste. Although this person is good at the Medicine Dao, skilled at formulating medicine, she doesn’t know pill refining. If not, she would most probably become a Pill Refining Master.
He placed down the medicine bowl and turned to the few dishes.
There were a few vegetarian dishes that looked normal, but for some reason, it wet his appetite.
Zong Shou picked up a piece of tofu and placed it in his mouth to taste. His eyes were filled with a satisfied as he enjoyed the taste.
He loved good food, even studying it before. At this moment, he had to admit that her culinary skills were much better than his. There was also some mysteries within, each plate was able to let him feel a Dao hidden within.
This was also the reason why Zong Shou gave up on persuading her and allowed her to continue. To him, the food that she cooked was the best kind of enjoyment.
Jingyin’s expression was weird as she looked on from the side, her gaze shining like a star. She wanted to say something but she stopped. She hesitated for a moment before opening up her mouth and asking, “Is it really so good? My Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters all say that my dishes are a little weird. As for where it is weird, they were unable to describe it.”
Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to himself that of course these dishes were weird.
A soft tofu which should be piping hot, soft and silky felt ice cold and really firm in the mouth. How wasn’t that weird?
Who knows how Jingyin managed to achieve that. She actually merged cold ice laws and toughness laws into the food.
It had other tastes when eaten making it extremely special.
If it was anyone else, if they even thought the tastes were excellent, the texture would scare them off.
Unless one’s cultivation reached a certain realm, how would they be able to comprehend the mysteries within?
Yiren used the pill to verify her Dao while this woman had Dao contained in her food, it was truly different.
Zong Shou had eaten all sorts of delicacies, but this was the only type of food that he had never come across which made him engrossed in it.
He was curious about it, but thinking about just how a sentence from her had the ability to stir up Cause and Effect and Fate laws, he wasn’t that surprised anymore.
“It really is delicious!”
A few simple words caused her to feel so happy that she was about to jump up.
Zong Shou looked at her clean and shiny head in deep thought.
Jingyin in the Cloud World had already went back to normal life when he met her. He was only able to see the nun version of Jingyin here, she was indeed quite cute.
“You are just 16 with a great life ahead of you, so why did you choose to cut your hair and become a nun? You have to follow rules and discipline when being a monk and can’t fall in love. What is so good about it?”
“Why do you say that?”
Jingyin frowned, feeling that Zong Shou’s words sounded very old. However, looking at his age he was similar to her.
“Although our Buddhist Faction prohibits marriage, they never prevented males and females from love. However, I am already prepared to stay as a pure body, to follow and serve the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha for the rest of my life.”
Only then did Zong Shou find out that the rules of the Buddhist Faction in this Cangling World were different from those of the Cloud World.
Cloud World monks needed to break away from the normal life. The Taoist Faction was still okay but the Buddhist Faction needed to follow all sorts of rules and discipline. However, it seemed like this world didn’t have such rules.
That’s right, the Buddhist Faction rules in the Cloud World were affected and influenced by the Confucian Faction.
The early Buddhist Faction was indeed seen as an evil and lustful religion.
If one studied the scriptures closely, one would know that this religion didn’t prohibit male and female matters and instead supported them.
If not, there wouldn’t be such a Buddhist Venerable like the Laughing Buddha.
When he heard her say more, he felt really speechless. Why did he feel that he was a huge sinner?
He really caused such a flower-like cute girl to use her entire life to serve him. That was totally unacceptable.
“Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha? Buddhist Faction’s future Buddha?”
Zong Shou broke into a smile, “I heard about it in the outer region. However, the Buddhist Faction doesn’t even know who this person is. In the future, he might not even be able to take up the Buddha spot. Maybe he would have died at that time. Why waste your entire life for such an uncertain future Buddha…”
He stopped his words right as he said this, only to see that her face was extremely ugly and her eyes were filled with rage like she wanted to scold him but she suppressed herself. Her expression turned cold and serious.
“I will act like I didn’t hear your words. The future Unlimited Buddha is the decree of the Buddhas and wouldn’t be wrong. How can you say such blasphemous words?”
The voice was totally cold, “Even if it is as you said, I will have no regrets. I am willing…”
