The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Finally, Master Puning came over, looked Chi Miao up and down, and said with a gentle smile, "Young friend Chi Miao, it seems you have gained a lot this past month."

He was the person with the highest cultivation level present, and because of the cultivation method he practiced, his perception was extremely amazing.

Even before Chi Miao emerged from the coffin, he could sense the changes in Chi Miao's aura.

This change became even more pronounced after Chi Miao stepped out of the coffin.

He was convinced that Chi Miao's "death" over the past month was not a real "death," but rather a miraculous opportunity.

Chi Miao's eyes lit up: "Master is amazing. He saw it at a glance. Yes, that's right, I'm already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

After she finished speaking, she also took the opportunity to demonstrate her level of sophistication.

The moment the aura dissipated.

Everyone felt immense pressure.

Everyone was completely stunned: "You lay in a coffin for a month, and you still managed to break through?!"

They could just sense that Chi Miao was getting stronger, but they never expected that Chi Miao would break through!

Especially considering that she had only recently broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before she was put into her coffin!

You think breaking through is as easy as drinking water?!

Chi Miao smirked, "Hmm... more or less. I only broke through a minor realm; I didn't ascend directly."

Everyone: "...Screw your talent, you genius dog!!"

This guy is incredibly talented.

They were stuck at a certain realm, but Chi Miao broke through it after lying in a coffin for a month.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!

The worst part is that she got the benefit and then acted innocent! That's outrageous!

Jin Shengfei and Ying Wuhuo chose to remain silent.

They dared not speak.

They were truly afraid that everyone would know that Chi Miao's breakthrough speed was not only exaggerated, but also defied the heavens.

Because of Chi Miao's Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and even more so because of her Yang Spiritual Root... she does not cultivate only one system, but cultivates all five systems simultaneously.

However, it seems that she was tainted by lightning when she used the Heavenly Sword last time.

It must have been triggered by the excessive flames, not by the lightning spirit root, right?

However, they won't say anything; now is not the time to expose Chi Miao's cultivation of all five elements.

"Chi Miao is too abnormal."

"Um."

At this moment, Master Puning smiled again: "Just a breakthrough in realm? I'm afraid... it's not that simple, is it?"

He smiled, and looked incredibly gentle.

But Chi Miao could see that some things couldn't be hidden from Master Puning.

She looked around.

"Could you please block them?"

Master Puning was taken aback.

He could sense an indescribable power emanating from Chi Miao, a power that even he found captivating, but he hadn't expected him to be so serious.

It was so serious that Chi Miao voluntarily requested to block other people.

He immediately uttered a single word, which was then illuminated by a Buddha-like light that shielded the surroundings.

"Young friend Chi Miao, what is that mysterious aura emanating from you?"

He had a guess, but... that was too far-fetched.

Until Chi Miao gave his answer: "It is the essence of the Dao."

Master Puning's expression suddenly changed, and he almost dropped the prayer beads in his hand.

In fact, it really did fall.

He bent down and quickly picked it up, staring at Chi Miao in disbelief: "You...you say it again, what is it?!"

Chi Miao spoke up: "It is the essence of the Dao."

Master Puning took a deep breath: "Is this really true!"

Chi Miao nodded and then displayed the Dao Seed.

At that moment, a trace of aura appeared on the round seed of Dao, more than before.

It was Li You who made her drink the Daoist tea.

It contains the path to life that Li You cultivated.

It can give her stronger vitality.

Master Puning was completely astonished: "The Dao Seed... it really is the Dao Seed! I always thought the Dao Seed... only existed in legends!"

Everything about the Dao Seed and the Dao Essence exists only in legends.

Legend has it that this is a necessary condition for becoming an immortal.

However, the cultivation method has long been lost, and no one has ever been seen to reveal anything related to it, so it inevitably faded from people's sight.

But now Chi Miao has proven that the Dao Seed and the Dao Essence truly exist! How could he not be excited?

Anyone in the cultivation world who sees this will be driven mad with excitement.

Who doesn't yearn to become an immortal?

The path to immortality is shrouded in mystery.

The appearance of the Dao Seed and the Dao Essence is tantamount to clearing away a layer of the fog before the path to immortality.

No wonder Chi Miao told him to block out other people.

If this gets out, it will surely lead to my death!

Fortunately, Master Puning possessed exceptional composure and quickly regained his composure. He gently pushed Chi Miao's hand and said, "Young friend, you must carefully conceal your Dao Seed and never expose it lightly, otherwise... even if Nine Swords Mountain and my Golden Buddha Temple were to unite, we might not be able to protect you!"

It's not that they are weak.

Rather, it could cause a frenzy in the cultivation world.

It's already quite good that he was able to control himself.

Chi Miao smiled and said, "Aren't you going to ask me what opportunities I've had over the past month?"

Master Puning shook his head: "No matter how great the opportunity, it only belongs to those who are destined to receive it. Everyone has their own destiny, so there is no need to force it. Just know that you have gained a lot this past month, and that is enough."

He staked the entire Golden Buddha Temple on Chi Miao. The stronger Chi Miao became, the more opportunities he would have, and the brighter the future of the Golden Buddha Temple would be.

Chi Miao smiled and said, "Master Puning, do you know what the best decision you've ever made in your life was?"

Puning: "?"

Chi Miao: "They've put me on the same side."

Puning: "...Uh, um."

may be.

Chi Miao said casually, "Not only can I cultivate a Dao Seed myself, but I can also enable other people, all living beings, to cultivate a Dao Seed."

Puning: "Oh..."

"..."

wrong!

Puning's pupils suddenly contracted, and for a moment he even forgot to breathe, staring at Chi Miao in disbelief.

"What...what did you say?!"

"You can enable all living beings to cultivate the Dao Seed?!"

Chi Miao raised her chin: "Yes."

She need not fear exposing this matter, because she cultivates the "Dao Yuan Fa" and must enable others to cultivate the Dao Seed under her influence.

She can also use the methods of others.

She'll have to let everyone know about this sooner or later.

This not only helps her cultivation, but also the cultivation world... moreover, it is her get-out-of-jail-free card during critical periods.

If she dies, the cultivation method of the Dao seed will also be cut off.

Everyone wanted to worship her like a goddess.

Puning looked at Chi Miao, unable to calm his emotions for a moment.

What exactly happened to Chi Miao this month? How did she obtain such an incredible opportunity?

"This may sound presumptuous, but I am but a mortal, and I also aspire to attain enlightenment. If you agree, young friend, I would be grateful if you could bestow upon me the Dharma."

He, Master Puning, abbot of Jinfo Temple, is known as a living Buddha and is highly respected.

Now, in front of Chi Miao, he also lowers himself.

Even if Chi Miao doesn't grant him the method, he won't have any complaints.

That was Chi Miao's destiny and path.

Chi Miao quickly helped Master Puning to his feet.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't give me such a big bow, I can't accept it. I was originally going to bestow the power upon you, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much."

"Is what you say true, young friend?"

Chi Miao: "Really? You're so strong, have such a good temperament, are so talented, and are old enough—you're absolutely the perfect candidate. I'd rather you be my guinea pig!"

Master Puning: "Huh?"

Experimental subject? What experimental subject?

And... the phrase "old enough" is really a blow.
