Chapter 560: The Deteriorating Situation

The phone rang numerous times before someone finally answered, the voice on the other end lowered, cautious as if speaking in hushed tones during an examination. Gao Jian? What brings you to call me?

Perhaps we could discuss this later; my master is currently conducting a ritual. Upon hearing Leng Qingxuan's voice, I hastily interjected, fearing he might hang up. This is a matter of life and death—a child is injured in a dream, and the situation is critical!

Injured in a dream? Maoshan, in its dealings with various deities, is not adept at navigating dreams. If you truly wish to save her, you ought to seek out the Xiao Zhuang Temple.

Leng Qingxuan is not one to indulge in deceit; he speaks plainly. However, the Xiao Zhuang Temple holds an exalted status, detached from worldly affairs. Convincing them to assist you is exceedingly difficult.

Do you know where the entrance to the Xiao Zhuang Temple is? I found myself eagerly anticipating Leng Qingxuan's response.

I do not know. Even my master would likely be unaware. Among sects shrouded in mystery, the Xiao Zhuang Temple ranks among the top three. Their cultivation methods differ greatly from orthodox practices; I regret that I cannot be of assistance.

Is there truly no other way? Are there any sects capable of healing injuries inflicted in dreams? I am willing to exchange rare scriptures or treasures for their aid.

Sakura was injured on my behalf. Without that paper effigy, I would have perished in the despairing streets long ago. I would willingly part with my prestige to procure what they require to heal her!

Frankly, those rare treasures of yours are not particularly esteemed in the eyes of our sects. Nevertheless, I see your earnest desire to save someone, so I shall point you in the right direction. Recently, the Ghost Mother appeared in Jiangcheng and slain a true disciple of the Miaozhen Temple, causing a tremendous uproar. The righteous sects are preparing to unite and eradicate her before her power fully manifests. The righteous path will undoubtedly send representatives from the Xiao Zhuang Temple; this is your only opportunity.

Leng Qingxuan spoke with sincerity, his concern evident.

The righteous path uniting? Eradicating the Ghost Mother? My lips felt parched; bad news continued to flood in, and the situation was worsening. When would the disciple from the Xiao Zhuang Temple arrive in Jiangcheng?

At the earliest, three days; at the latest, one week. I can assist you only to this extent; the specifics of your fortune will depend on you. Leng Qingxuan sighed. You need not worry excessively; if you save a million lives in Jiangcheng, even the Xiao Zhuang Temple will not trouble you. You may even have the chance to join their ranks, and at that point, healing injuries incurred in dreams would be a trifling matter.

Once again, merits? Are these million merits truly so significant for you cultivators?

Merits are bestowed by heavenly grace; they ensure that one's thoughts manifest and that one gains favor from the heavens. We cultivators adhere to the principle of following the will of heaven; whichever sect you join will ultimately influence the fortune and decline of the entire sect.

It was only after Leng Qingxuan's explanation that I grasped the importance of merits to cultivators and understood why the usurpers of fate are so reviled.

Ordinary cultivation follows the will of heaven, while those who usurp fate act against it, disrupting the rules between heaven and earth. Such actions are provocations to the divine and are deemed worse than slaughtering the innocent. Should they succeed, they would be rewarded with vast amounts of intangible fortune.

After hearing Leng Qingxuan's words, I felt overwhelmed. If they discovered that not only did I lack a million merits but was also burdened by karmic obstacles, those righteous cultivators would likely dispose of me while eradicating the Ghost Mother.
