Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 547: Master Shi Chan

Shi Chan, a disciple of The Floating Temple, charges an exorbitant fee for performing a single ritual outside.

In the Central Continent, The Floating Temple is one of the five major immortal sects, the most powerful Buddhist sect, and can be considered the leader of all temples in the world, both in practical and spiritual terms.

Therefore, any disciple from The Floating Temple is highly regarded in the outside world. Although Shi Chan calls himself a humble monk, people outside refer to him as a master.

Moreover, his late Golden Elixir stage cultivation is enough to earn the reverence of the masses.

However, since the three seductive ghosts rejected his goodwill, he couldn't say much more.

He clasped his hands together, showing compassion, and walked up to a cow, speaking earnestly.

"We cultivators often say that our fate is determined by us, not by the heavens. We do not believe in destiny and rise up to resist it. There are indeed examples of those who have walked a broad and open path, but they are the minority. Whether their success in resisting fate is part of fate itself is unknown."

"Perhaps everyone is bound by fate without knowing it. Fate is like a shackle that no one can resist, including this humble monk, the three benefactresses, and you."

Shi Chan placed one hand on his chest and used the other to stroke the cow's neck.

The cows raised in the Seek Tao Sect were no ordinary animals. They were of extraordinary origin, fed with exceptional grass and water daily. Their fur was smooth, feeling much better than the cows Shi Chan had encountered in previous farms.

"You were born to be slaughtered, to satisfy human appetites. Your flesh is a sacrifice to fill human greed. It seems noble, but in reality, it is because you have no control over your own fate."

"This humble monk gives you a chance. If you do not wish to be bound by fate and want to escape the destiny of being slaughtered, make a sound. If you are willing to sacrifice for humanity, make two sounds."

The cow remained motionless, not making a single sound.

Shi Chan sighed, "As expected, you were born ignorant, lacking innate wisdom, unable to understand human speech or Buddhist teachings."

He then silently recited some obscure scriptures.

"In the beginning, in the azure sky, the sky sang, the great floating land..."

The cow still did not react.

Shi Chan shook his head helplessly, bent down to pick up the butcher knife on the ground, and with a swift motion, ended the cow's life.

"Amitabha."

The three seductive ghosts were stunned by this scene.

"May I ask, young friend, what are you doing?" A kind voice sounded, deep and infectious.

Shi Chan turned his head and did not recognize the newcomer.

"And you are...?"

"You can call me Boss Bu. This farm belongs to me."

From a distance, the Immortal Fairy had seen Shi Chan muttering to himself, fiddling with the cow for half a day, and finally killing it with a single stroke, utterly confused.

"So it's Benefactor Bu. This humble monk is a disciple of The Floating Temple, with the Dharma name Shi Chan. What I did just now was to enlighten the mind and let the cow choose its own fate."

"The scripture I recited earlier is called the 'Cow Enlightenment Sutra.'"

"The 'Cow Enlightenment Sutra'?" The Immortal Fairy muttered, never having heard of it.

"This humble monk wrote it himself. There are also the 'Pig Enlightenment Sutra' and the 'Sheep Enlightenment Sutra.' At the previous slaughterhouse, I would recite scriptures before slaughtering, allowing the livestock to choose their own fate. However, none have succeeded so far."

"After the slaughter, I would also recite the 'Rebirth Mantra' to dissolve the resentment of the livestock, allowing them to pass peacefully."

The previous cow was slaughtered by the sect leader, and Shi Chan only handled the dismemberment. This cow was the first to go through the complete process.

The Immortal Fairy found Shi Chan's reasoning quite sensible. Their farm was essentially a slaughterhouse, easily conjuring bloody images, which was detrimental to their reformed, positive image. If they followed Shi Chan's method of explaining before slaughtering and then performing a ritual, Yun Zhi, the First Leader, and the Second Leader would surely have a better impression of them.

In the Seek Tao Sect, only Yun Zhi and the other two knew the Immortal Fairy's identity.

More people knew the identities of the sect leader and his followers, including Senior Brother Dai and the Great Elder.

In terms of actions, the Immortal Fairy and his superior, the Immortal Fairy, were similar—decisive and never hesitating once they had made up their minds.

He immediately issued a notice to the sect leader and Deputy Sect Leader Jin, as well as Liu and Gao from the barbecue shop, and several former elders of the Immortal Sect who were now working at the farm.

That night.

After the barbecue shop closed, Liu and the others arrived at the farm.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here," replied Xiao Wu and her two companions.

Although the three of them were not members of the Immortal Sect, they were now the sect leader's right-hand aides and needed to be present at meetings.

The Immortal Fairy nodded and recounted Shi Chan's actions during the day, causing the sect leader and others to fall into deep thought.

"So, what is the Immortal Fairy's suggestion...?"

"We're all on the same side here, so I'll speak plainly. We are all prisoners of the Seek Tao Sect. Who knows when they might turn against us and kill us?"

"I believe we need to change, not just by running a barbecue shop and a farm, but by giving people a completely new impression. Shi Chan's arrival is an opportunity."

"Learning Buddhism requires avoiding deviation. Shi Chan comes from The Floating Temple, representing orthodox Buddhism. His teachings must be profound and authentic. We should learn from him, cultivate our character, and develop a Buddhist nature. Only then can we show that we have truly reformed."

The sect leader and others nodded repeatedly, impressed by the Immortal Fairy's high level of thinking. While they were content with the status quo, the Immortal Fairy was already planning the next step.

"Since no one objects, let's proceed with this plan."

"Um..."

Xiao Wu timidly raised her hand. The three of them were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and attending meetings with the sect leader and others was quite stressful.

"If you have a question, feel free to ask."

"Can we ghosts also learn Buddhism?"

The Immortal Fairy stroked his chin thoughtfully, "That's a good question. We'll ask Shi Chan about it tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the entire Immortal Sect approached Shi Chan and explained their intentions.

After a moment of contemplation, Shi Chan felt that these people had a strong affinity with Buddhism.

"Buddhism guides those with affinity. Since you wish to learn from this humble monk, I will not hold back."

"As for the three benefactresses, there's no need to worry. There are precedents of ghosts learning Buddhism. There are even legends of ghosts who, after mastering Buddhist teachings, built temples and used the power of faith to reshape their true forms. It won't be a problem."

The three ghosts finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't accidentally transcend themselves while learning.

And so, they went about their daily tasks during the day and gathered at night to study Buddhism, discuss Buddhist teachings, and maintained a very regular schedule. Shi Chan also gained new insights through the discussions and teachings.

...

Dai Bufan looked at the intelligence report just handed to him by a disciple, utterly bewildered.

Why was Shi Chan working at the farm?

Why were the members of the Immortal Sect starting to learn Buddhism?

What would The Floating Temple think if they knew about this?

Dai Bufan couldn't figure out Shi Chan's motives. With his master missing and presumed dead, he had no one to rely on and could only seek out Yun Zhi.

"Eldest Senior Sister..."

Dai Bufan detailed Shi Chan's actions and sought Yun Zhi's advice on how the Seek Tao Sect should respond.

Yun Zhi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "When Junior Brother Shi Chan first arrived, he challenged me."

Dai Bufan's pupils contracted upon hearing this, utterly shocked. Was he courting death?

Even a newborn calf wouldn't be so fearless.

Not to mention a newborn calf, even Master Jie Sha wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"Senior Sister, you mean..."

"He dared to challenge me, so nothing he does should be surprising."

"That makes sense."

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
