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

Chi Miao grinned mischievously: "Never mind that, just tell me if you want the Dao Seed?"

Master Puning nodded.

"Of course I want it."

Chi Miao: "I love your frank and unpretentious nature!"

Master Puning: "...Ahem."

Actually, they wanted to pretend, at least they did at first.

However, it was later discovered that this group of disciples was exceptionally outstanding, and... too extraordinary.

During that month, his junior apprentice, Pushe, actually pretended to be a pro when he was teaching, saying how amazing he was when he was young.

result……

Led by Jin Shengfei, they picked up a booklet and publicly exposed each other's secrets.

After that incident, they behaved themselves and stopped showing off.

Master Puning asked, "Then what is this method of cultivation?"

Chi Miao's Yang spiritual root generated spiritual power. She gathered a wisp of it, pressed it onto Master Puning's body, and sent it inside.

Chi Miao: "Okay."

Master Puning: "???"

Seeing his bewildered expression, Chi Miao asked, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Master Puning: "Old monk, what would you like to try?"

He doesn't know!

You just randomly say "okay" out of the blue, how would he know what's so good about it?

Chi Miao looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What else could it be? The Dao, of course. Why don't you try to comprehend your own Dao?"

Master Puning: "This..."

Why do I feel like I'm being played by Chi Miao?

But Chi Miao had no reason to lie to him.

do not care.

Master Puning immediately sat down cross-legged, trying to comprehend the Tao he had cultivated over the years.

He has seen mountains, seas, and people.

A flower, a tree, a world; a leaf, a tree, a Bodhi tree.

He had tried countless times to comprehend his own Dao.

But there was never any response.

This time, it will probably be the same...

Just then, a mysterious aura appeared out of nowhere, entangling his spiritual root and suddenly enlightening him. Many things that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear to him.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chi Miao in disbelief.

Then look at the wisp of Dao essence in your hand, which is coiled in your palm.

"This...this is...the Dao of this old monk?"

Benevolence and kindness.

Although it was only a tiny wisp, it made him feel a qualitative change, as if his soul had been sublimated.

At that moment, Master Puning almost shed tears.

"Have I... grasped a wisp of the Dao?"

He knew that he was able to comprehend the Dao so quickly because he himself had extremely high cultivation and a wealth of experience.

This is a transformation from nothing to something. Although the seed of the Dao has not yet been formed, it is still exciting and moving.

He actually comprehended a wisp of the Dao!

As he was getting excited, the Dao essence in his hand suddenly flew uncontrollably toward Chi Miao.

That touch of benevolence and Taoist essence belonging to Master Puning affectionately nuzzled against Chi Miao's face.

Puning: "???"

"What... what's going on?"

How could the Dao he comprehended be controlled by Chi Miao?

This is terrifying!

Chi Miao smiled and said, "Oh dear, Master, don't make a fuss. But you did a great job and deserve praise."

"Now that the methods of cultivation are sealed, only through my spiritual power can living beings acquire the ability to comprehend the Dao, and the Dao comprehended in this way can also be used by me."

"Well, this is currently the only method of cultivation. You can choose not to use it, but if you manage to cultivate it, I can also master it."

However, she cannot use her full power.

Dao essence is merely a part of the rules; it can only enhance, but it has no power of its own.

Master Puning was even more horrified, his mind went completely blank.

"It seems you've truly received an extraordinary opportunity this time."

No wonder Chi Miao said he was just a test subject.

Judging from Chi Miao's demeanor, she probably has an ambition that would make all living beings tremble.

Fortunately, Chi Miao has an excellent temperament.

Neither evil nor good.

He asked, "Do you wish to use this old monk to popularize this cultivation method?"

One of the biggest reasons Chi Miao made him the first was...

He holds considerable influence in the cultivation world, and when this cultivation method is spread through his mouth, it gains authority.

Chi Miao did not deny it, but emphasized: "However, we must keep the part of the content that I can use from the outside."

Master Puning smiled and said, "This old monk naturally understands that."

"But I'm curious... when do you plan to spread this technique?"

Chi Miao said, "Take my spiritual power and send a message to Nine Swords Mountain, telling them to learn it first, and then... wait for this ten sects training session, and choose a good time to popularize it on a large scale."

"Of course, if you have other candidates, you can choose some and let me know in advance. I trust your judgment."

The person who can be attracted to her must have excellent taste!

Puning then asked, "What about the Heavenly Sword Sect? Should we keep it a secret?"

Chi Miao: "Heavenly Sword Sect? If word gets out, it won't be able to stay a secret forever, right? There's no point in hiding it, but... they have to find out eventually! We need to drag it out as long as possible!"

Even if you work for her, she'll still cause trouble for the Heavenly Sword Sect.

I don't care, she's just despicable, she can't stand seeing her rivals doing well!

Master Puning smiled; today was truly the most exciting day of his life.

"Young friend... you are making this old monk look forward to you more and more."

He had seen countless people with ambition, talent, and temperament.

Only Chi Miao... kept giving him surprises.

It seems that Chi Miao was born to be a saint who would save the world.

He is witnessing an extraordinary being ushering in a new era.

Chi Miao looked at him: "By the way, Master, you said last time that the Mirror of Rebirth is the best trial object, what exactly did you mean?"

Puning: "..."

The excitement has completely vanished!!

He coughed lightly.

"Young friend, you haven't asked yet?"

Chi Miao shrugged: "I've been dead for a month, isn't that common knowledge? How am I supposed to ask? Ask me in a dream?"

Puning: "...Well, you can ask now."

Chi Miao: "Wasn't I asking a question?"

Puning blushed: "Actually, I don't know either. I only heard it mentioned by my senior."

Chi Miao stared at him for a long time with an expression of disbelief, scrutiny, and finally certainty.

Finally, he said something.

"Master, if you don't know, why are you saying this? Were you just showing off to me back then?"

Puning: "Cough cough cough cough! How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."

Chi Miaocai didn't believe it.

Damn it, the world is just a giant circle of pretentious people, and even a highly respected master like Puning can't escape it.

The amazing thing is that she actually fell for it!!!

……

After the Buddhist incantation barrier was removed.

Everyone stared at the two of them with blank expressions.

Look at Master Puning! Wow! Look at his complexion! Is the master about to experience a second spring in his life?

Looking at Chi Miao again, why does her little expression seem a bit speechless?

What exactly did those two say?!

Chi Miao walked straight up to the Mirror Spirit: "Hey, can I ask you something?"

The spirit decisively replied, "I don't want a stepfather, I don't want younger siblings, I already have a daughter."

As she spoke, she glanced at Master Puning behind Chi Miao.

Chi Miao's face darkened: "...Do you want to be an abandoned daughter?"

The spirit immediately sat up obediently and smiled brightly.

"Dear Mother, please ask!"

Chi Miao: "..."

Everyone: "..." That's really abstract.

Chi Miao asked her own question.

How come the Mirror of Rebirth is the best test object?

The spirit's eyes lit up: "So that's what Mother wanted to ask!"
