I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 462 Isn't it natural for the old lady who received eggs to buy health products?
Although Feng Xue was the one who created the Spirit Contract, he didn't play any word games. He has never liked to tamper with contracts, not because he's kind-hearted, but because he's a cunning and ruthless person.

This is not to say that the Chinese rabbit has integrity, but rather that the Chinese rabbit has a long enough history that it can learn many lessons from history.

From a purely profit-driven perspective, the logic of robbery naturally prevails: rob if you can, cheat if you can, and take whatever you can; the profit is far greater than that of fair trade.

But what if we take a longer-term view?
Lu Meng crossed the river in plain clothes, and there has never been another person in plain clothes to be trusted since.

Sima Yi farted on the Luo River, and from then on, the transfer of power was nothing but bloodshed.

When you are powerful, you can certainly point to a tube of laundry detergent and call it a biological weapon, and you can force the weak to make deals with you as if they were being robbed. But if you are no longer the strongest, all that awaits you is betrayal and abandonment by everyone.

Conversely, when you uphold your oaths and respect fairness, your credibility will be guaranteed, and in this way, there will be a continuous stream of cooperation.

Even if we take a step back and assume that there will be a significant benefit in the future that can be obtained by exchanging this reputation, the better the reputation, the greater the benefit that can be obtained, right?

Feng Xue doesn't consider himself a good person, but his bottom line is keeping his word. He doesn't care how he pretends or boasts if he hasn't made a promise, but he won't compromise on anything that has been seriously agreed upon.

After the young ghost signed a spiritual contract promising not to reveal anything about the city to anyone except the cultivation technique itself, he handed over a copy of "The Purple Star Cantong Contract: Seven Luminaries Chapter: Earth and Moon Chapter" to the young man in accordance with the contract and let him leave Branch City 1744.

It wasn't until he left that Feng Xue slapped her forehead—

"Goodness, I forgot to ask him what he originally came here for!"

Well, it's not Feng Xue's fault. He was distracted by the prosthetic limb, and for that ghost, nothing was more important than purifying the materialized willpower.

Knowing that the other person would definitely come back, Feng Xue did not chase after him, but continued with her daily studies.

However, to Feng Xue's surprise, before the young man, or rather his so-called master, sent people into the city again, things changed once more in the city.

Just as he finished his "peace of mind broadcast" for the day and was about to leave, someone in the audience suddenly got excited!
Yes, just like the old lady who received eggs, after listening to enough lectures, she voluntarily spent money to buy health products, and with the lighting of this candle of the heart, as if it were contagious, several others followed suit.

This is similar to how the longer the queue at a shop, the more people will join the line. Once the first person lights a candle, the second and third will follow, and soon, more and more people will begin to understand their true nature.

The pursuit of peace of mind is the nature of intelligent beings. If they have never seen the light, they can naturally remain numb. However, under the illumination of Feng Xuexin's candle, the brief half-hour of peace of mind each day forms a huge contrast with the numbness, boredom, anxiety, and unease of the remaining twenty-three and a half hours.

When not illuminated by candlelight, one can't help but recall the comforting warmth of being illuminated.

When illuminated by candlelight, one longs for that warmth to last longer.

But Feng Xue's candlelight would eventually be extinguished, and in that instant of extinguishing, she once again fell into a strong mental fluctuation of unease from peace, finally accumulating enough longing for peace.

This longing, along with the daily recitation of the "Earth and Moon Chapter," which many people had even memorized, ignited a candle in their hearts.

The flame of peace of mind ignited, far less grand than Feng Xue's candlelight, yet enough to illuminate one's heart. However, the candlelight of the heart is merely a pursuit and aspiration. While Feng Xue could offer a sense of connection through the passing on of the torch, the candlelight one lit only reminded one of the immense distance remaining between oneself and that unattainable dream.

Tiny candles were lit, but they became increasingly confused, for these sparks alone were far from enough to extinguish the long night.

"It's faster than I expected... That's right, Heart Candle and Awakening are different. Awakening requires action, while Heart Candle, with the kindling provided by the Passing on the Flame Realm, can be lit as long as you want to."

Feng Xue inwardly marveled at the uniqueness of this system, but outwardly only showed her gentle smile, patted the blackboard behind her, and said:
"Now that the candle of the heart has been lit, one can consume small amounts of food to transform one's wishes into power. As long as the amount is controlled, there is no need to worry about physical deformities."

At this point, Feng Xue glanced at the audience below the stage and, seeing that they still displayed a numb demeanor, continued:
"Since everyone has lit the candle of their hearts, they must be seeking peace of mind. But right now, I imagine your candles are beating restlessly, right? Do you know why?"

No one answered, but the flickering candlelight seemed to be telling a story.

Seeing the ghosts' confusion, Feng Xue sat down again:

"It's Buddhism, because everyone knows that no matter how much vow power they have, it will eventually be taken away by Buddhism for various reasons. Whether it's more or less, it doesn't matter. Even if they can absorb the vow power to strengthen themselves, it will only make this exploitation even worse."

The ghosts may not understand what exploitation is, but these ghosts who have lived in the underworld for a long time have personally experienced the Buddhist concept of sustainable development through depletion of resources.

Does he harbor resentment towards Buddhism?
Of course there are.

But who dares to say that?
The Heart Candle system, however, directly addresses one's true nature. Without the Heart Candle, people feel uneasy, numb, and fearful; they can deceive and numb themselves. But when the Heart Candle is lit, they understand their pursuit of peace of mind. And when Feng Xue reveals all this, everyone's true nature changes almost simultaneously—

[Eradicate Buddhism!]
It must be said that although the peace-heart candle cannot compare to those candles that "establish a heart for heaven and earth," "establish a destiny for the people," "continue the lost learning of the past sages," and "create peace for all generations," it truly points to the heart of every individual.

Everyone seeks peace of mind; they just pursue it in different ways.

Therefore, the true nature of the reassuring candle can be anything, and it can change at any time.

Today, there exists a being that is known to all and makes everyone uneasy; therefore, the true nature of things will naturally point to this being.

The establishment of authenticity also made these ghosts understand that eradicating Buddhism could indeed bring them peace of mind.

But how do we do it?
The Buddhist order is so vast, with ox-headed demons, horse-faced demons, the ten kings of hell, the Buddha, and Ksitigarbha; how could they, mere ghosts, possibly compete with it?

The candle in Feng Xue's heart, which had just calmed down because of the establishment of authenticity, began to flicker again, but beside her was an AI who was proficient in psychology—or at least proficient in poking holes in people's lungs.

With Sarah's reminder, his voice suddenly became loud and clear, and the previously extinguished heart candle shone brightly once more—

"I am the sect leader of the Divine Firmament Sect. The method I cultivate is the Purple Star Cantong Pact. Those who cultivate my method are like star lords descending to earth. What is there for a mere bald monk to fear?!"
