The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 246 Favors are hard to return
"I am worried that I will have a hard time repaying this favor. Just tell me, and I will help you if I can." said Patriarch Bodhi.

"What I am looking for is the ancestor of Shao Yan clan in Da Xia world, Shao Yan Chou!" Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"Shao Yan is ugly?" Patriarch Bodhi was stunned, "Do you want to avenge Ji Ning?"

The first person that Patriarch Bodhi thought of was Ji Ning.

He probably knew everything that Ji Ning had experienced. Naturally, he would not forget the culprit who had banished his youngest disciple to the ancient ruins and had not yet returned to the Three Realms.

Due to the tacit understanding between the powerful people in the three realms, and also out of some considerations, in order to leave Ji Ning a grinding stone for experience, Shao Yanchou was spared.

But if it was Ji Xiaoshan who wanted to kill Shao Yanchou, he still owed him a favor for teaching, so it would be okay for Bodhi Patriarch to do something to help others.

"I guess so! Shao Yan and I have some grudges, so I might as well take this opportunity to settle them." Ji Xiaoshan smiled slightly.

He naturally couldn't tell the top powerful people in the three realms in front of him that he had set his eyes on the treasure in Shao Yanchou's hand. Although those who could cultivate to this level had to step on countless dead bones.

When he was weak, Ji Xiaoshan could only think about it, but now that he is strong enough, he will naturally not miss the opportunity.

If Shao Yanchou had not practiced the Eighteen Demons of Tao Wu and had many clones, why would Ji Xiaoshan, with his strength, need to seek the help of Patriarch Bodhi?

"Settle the grudge? Good." Patriarch Bodhi nodded.

"I don't know where Shao Yanchou learned the art of splitting his body. It's very difficult for ordinary gods and immortals to deal with him. Even some true gods and Taoist ancestors would have to work hard to catch all of his avatars. No wonder you need me to help you."

"That's right." Ji Xiaoshan nodded. "It would be easy for me to kill one or two of his clones, but it would be difficult to catch them all at once."

"Yes." Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "This is just a small matter. I learned the body protection magic and mental power detection method from you before, and I already owe you a big favor. Now I want to learn your mental power method, and the favor is getting bigger and bigger."

If you feel at ease with owing favors, it may not be a big deal for a cultivator with an evil heart. But if it is the Three Pure Ones, Bodhi Patriarch or Hou Yi, owing favors but not thinking about repaying them will inevitably affect your Tao heart in the end.

For such beings, having their Tao hearts obscured will not be conducive to reaching a higher level.

This was also the reason why Houyi was the first to pass the token to Ji Xiaoshan.

Hou Yi had never stepped out of the Xieyue World for countless years, let alone seeing his token being handed over to others. The value of the token was naturally self-evident.

"Matters of human relations... are not urgent! How to make amends is up to you, Bodhi. But remember that these methods and secret techniques passed down by Qingping are all of great importance, so you must not spread them out casually." The Three Pure Ones said with a smile.

"This is what we owe your disciple, so we must keep it secret." Patriarch Bodhi nodded.

Ji Xiaoshan watched and saw that several powerful men had finalized the decision in a few words, then he handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Houyi again.

Houyi was the first one to mention the need to learn the method of mind power, so naturally it was given to him first.

"Is this the method of mental power that is circulated in the chaos?" Houyi's mind immediately penetrated into it and immersed in the mysterious method of mental power.

This immersion lasted for a long time.

Ji Xiaoshan, the Three Pure Ones and others were waiting silently on the side.

"Mysterious, it's really mysterious!" Hou Yi was extremely shocked. "Compared with this mind power method, the Hou Yi archery technique I created suddenly seems extremely simple."

Houyi held the bamboo slips and couldn't help but marvel at it.

He looked up at Ji Xiaoshan and said with a smile, "After reading this Guiyuan Heart Sutra, all the unclear parts about my mental power have suddenly become clear. Qingping, it is just as you said. If I learn this method of mental power, my strength will be greatly improved."

"As long as it's useful." Ji Xiaoshan nodded and smiled.

The magical skills created by the powerful beings in the three realms are all very worthwhile.

The fact that he could be so evil, with the body of a true god and a third-class ancestor immortal comparable to the ancestor god, is enough to explain everything.

What they lack most is not understanding or aptitude, but the guidance of profound methods.

And now, Houyi, who has the highest achievement in mental power among the Three Realms, has obtained a method of mental power, which makes him like a tiger with wings. And the talisman in Ji Xiaoshan's hand is even more useful.

"Three Pure Ones, Master." Houyi looked at the Three Pure Ones and Patriarch Bodhi, and directly handed over the bamboo slips containing the "Guiyuan Heart Classic".

"This method is extremely mysterious, I have memorized it all. The power of the mind is mysterious, ethereal and illusory, but it greatly improves your strength. If you read it, your strength will surely improve."

"Yes." The Three Pure Ones and Patriarch Bodhi all nodded.

moment.

"This method... is really a good method!" Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but say, "In the entire Three Realms, Hou Yi is recognized as the best in terms of mental power. After him are Sanqing, Yuan and a large number of other powerful people whose mental power has reached the fourth level. But before, we didn't have a good method to guide us, so we were all working behind closed doors. The mental power operation techniques we created are no match for the Guiyuan Heart Sutra...

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head helplessly.

The Three Pure Ones also watched the method recorded in the "Return to the Origin Heart Sutra" without saying a word, and stood quietly in the chaos. He stood calmly, but his calm eyes became more profound.

"Hmm?" Hou Yi had the strongest willpower, and immediately looked at the Three Pure Ones. There was a hint of smile in his eyes. Patriarch Bodhi and Ji Xiaoshan also looked over.

“Sanqing, have you… achieved a breakthrough in your mental power?” Daozu Bodhi said happily, “If your mental power has also reached the fifth level, then wouldn’t your strength be greatly improved? At least you can be close to the realm of Nuwa who has not yet achieved a breakthrough to become a world god!”

Everyone present understood. The Three Pure Ones were already very powerful. If their mental strength could also break through to the fifth level, they would at least be able to rival the top ancestral gods with their true god bodies, and even be considered extremely powerful among the top ancestral gods.

"Congratulations, Master!" Ji Xiaoshan also congratulated with a smile.

The Three Pure Ones looked at Ji Xiaoshan and smiled, "It seems that I have to owe you a big favor. From the ancient Pangu world to now, my mental power has been stuck at the fourth level without any progress. Now, after watching your mental power method, I have gained some insights, and it has come naturally, and I have directly entered the fifth level..."

"Master, you are joking." Ji Xiaoshan also laughed. "If a master and a disciple talk about human feelings, it will simply make Bodhi Daozu and Houyi the great god laugh at us. It's not beautiful."

"Hahaha!" Patriarch Bodhi and Houyi all laughed on the side.

"Qing Ping is right!" said Patriarch Bodhi, "Now if anyone is owed a favor, it's us, the master and the disciple."

……

a long time.

The Three Pure Ones turned to look at Patriarch Bodhi and Hou Yi, and said with a smile, "Now that everything is settled, I will take Qing Ping back to heaven."

"Three Pure Ones, just go on your own." said Patriarch Bodhi.

He turned to look at Ji Xiaoshan with a calm gaze, "Qingping, you will have to wait a few more days to find Shao Yanchou's clones."

"My original body is currently searching for Ji Ning in the ancient ruins. What remains in the Three Realms is only an incarnation. Although this incarnation can also perform the Three Realms in One Dream, its efficiency is inevitably much slower than that of my original body."

Whether it was Houyi or Patriarch Bodhi, they had already treated Ji Xiaoshan as a powerful being of the same level, and had conversations with him on an equal footing as a true god and ancestor of Taoism.

Although what Ji Xiaoshan left in the Three Realms was only his second soul, the Three Pure Ones, Patriarch Bodhi and others had very sharp eyes and could naturally see that the Qi training method that Ji Xiaoshan practiced was extremely unusual.

When Ji Xiaoshan was going through the heavenly tribulation, they had already reached a consensus. After all, with Ji Xiaoshan's level of enlightenment, he could break through to the Pure Yang True Immortal level at any time.

The strength of a first-class True Immortal is at least at the level of a True God. Combined with the various techniques and secret skills that Ji Xiaoshan has acquired, this strength allows him to become a powerful figure in the Three Realms at any time.

"It doesn't matter. Daozu's most important thing is to search for Ji Ning. Compared with my cousin, Shao Yanchou seems a little insignificant." Ji Xiaoshan smiled and shook his head, "Besides, Shao Yanchou is there and can't run away. It doesn't matter when he is killed."

"Okay. I will pass the news to you as soon as I get it." Patriarch Bodhi nodded.

……

skyline.

In the Qingping Fairy Island.

Ji Xiaoshan sat cross-legged in a quiet room, with a mountain that had shrunk countless times floating in front of him. However, rather than calling it a mountain, it was more like a cave dwelling relying on the mountain.

"Come out!" Ji Xiaoshan said softly.

"Wow~"

There was a flash of white light in the quiet room, and the figure of an old man in a red robe suddenly appeared in front of Ji Xiaoshan.

The red-robed old man looked at Ji Xiaoshan and exclaimed, "I didn't expect... you actually did it. Although the Three Pure Ones asked you to come to my master's temple, I didn't think highly of you at first. After all, what is most in demand in the endless years is genius. I didn't expect..."

The spirit of the magic weapon in this cave is naturally aware of the outside world, not to mention that the celestial power injected into his magic weapon cannot be fake. The powerful magic power that is obviously different from that of ordinary celestials can be easily distinguished.

"Yes. I was also very eager to help the deity out of this siege. But I never thought... I would plant flowers inside the wall and bloom outside the wall." Ji Xiaoshan looked at the red-robed old man and smiled, "Now I have met the conditions?"

"Satisfied! Of course I am satisfied!" The red-robed old man said, "As long as you completely refine me, you can enter the main hall deep in the cave. Some of the treasures left by the Red Cloud Ancestor are all in it. And the innate top-grade spiritual treasure Nine-Nine Soul-scattering Gourd is also in it."

Ji Xiaoshan nodded slightly.

When he returned to heaven from chaos, he heard his master, the Three Pure Ones, talking about this treasure.

This Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd is an innate treasure that was born when the ancient Pangu world was born. It contains eighty-one soul-dispersing fires. The soul-dispersing fires are invisible and colorless, but they can burn the souls and true spirits of cultivators like karma fire.

However, the karmic fire of the gods and immortals can resist it, but the invisible flame in the Soul-Dispersing Gourd is not something even some true gods and Taoist ancestors dare to touch.

If you get it, it's like having one more means, which is better than nothing.

"Then if you release the restriction, I will refine you first and then go get the treasure." Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile.
