Chapter 1910
In front of Qin Nan stood a monk in a rugged kasaya. He had a ponytail on his rather bald head. He was seated on a stone stool while his plump hands were hugging a giant leg of a dragon. The monk was none other than Yuanji.
Not far from him was a bald, middle-aged man in a Daoist robe. He had a tiny goatee on his chin.
“Ah, so you’re the successor of the Immortals that people have been talking about, your reputation precedes you!”
The middle-aged man quickly reacted. He grabbed Qin Nan’s hands passionately.
“And this guy is?”
Qin Nan looked at Yuanji.
He briefly scanned the middle-aged man with the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and noticed that his cultivation was only in the Human God Realm.
“He’s a core disciple of our sect, Yuanjue. He was once a reputable Exceptional Genius too.”
Yuanji collected his thoughts and wiped the stain by his lips.
He was an Exceptional Genius of the Ancient Bodhi Temple. His cultivation had long reached the Heaven Immortal Realm. He also possessed various kinds of Bodhi eye-techniques, thus he instantly recognized Qin Nan when he walked in.
“Once?”
Qin Nan’s eyes glittered. He brought his fists together, “Cultivator Yuanjue, it’s my pleasure to meet you.”
Yuanjue waved his hands and said, “Since Cultivator Qin Nan and Junior Brother know one another, please make yourself at home. I shall go get more dragon meat. We’ll talk as we eat.”
He quickly went to the back.
Yuanji let out a sigh. He transmitted his voice, “My Senior Brother has pretty tough luck. He ended up awakening the Bodhi Exterminating Flesh when he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm.
Qin Nan was startled. Yuanji explained further, “The Bodhi Exterminating Flesh is a strange flesh that can only improve when the bearer kills people that believes in Buddhism. The more he kills, the stronger his cultivation will be.”
“My Senior Brother pursues Buddhism wholeheartedly. He didn’t want the Bodhi Exterminating Flesh to influence him, thus he crippled his cultivation and ended up like this.”
Qin Nan frowned, “Is there no other way?”
Yuanji shook his head and said, “There is none, even an authority in the Master Realm could not do anything. The Bodhi Exterminating Flesh was possessed by an infamous demon cultivator in ancient times. It was a kind of curse that no one could ever lift.”
Qin Nan’s heart shuddered.
Somehow, the words sounded familiar to him.
“Here, Master Qin, have a taste of my dish!”
Yuanjue had returned from the back with a huge bowl in his hand. It was full of dragon meat with a pleasant aroma.
Qin Nan took a piece of the meat. A pleasant feeling rose from his heart as he took a bite. He could not help but take more meat while complimenting how delicious it was.
“Let me try some!”
Doom swallowed. He reached his claw out and grabbed half of the meat.
“The Ten Primordial Evils? Master Qin, may I take a look at it?”
Yuanjue’s eyes glittered.
“Not a problem.”
Qin Nan summoned the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
“Qin Nan, you haven’t told me the reason why you’re here,” Yuanji asked.
“I’m close to a breakthrough, but I need to fight an Exceptional Genius of the Ancient Bodhi Temple to increase the odds,” Qin Nan said.
Even though he was rather close to Yuanji, he could not afford to tell him the truth.
“Oh? For real?”
To his surprise, Yuanji and Yuanjue’s eyes glittered immediately.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Nan was startled.
“Hehe, Qin Nan, you have come just in time. We have long found Master Liujie of the Heart-Cleansing Temple an eyesore, especially since he kept prosecuting us after he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm recently.”
“Look at our restaurant. We used to have over twenty of them, but now, this restaurant is the only one left.”
“You came just in time. You can do us a favor by taking him out!” Yuanji rubbed his hands excitedly.
Yuanjue frowned and said, “Yuanji, how could you have the thought of killing a disciple of the same sect? I think beating the crap out of him should suffice.”
Qin Nan and Doom twisted their lips.
Were they really Buddhist disciples?
They were more like devils!

“That’s fine, but you do know the things I was involved in lately. It’s going to bring me a lot of trouble if my identity is exposed here.”
“Besides, how should I teach him a lesson? I can’t just run into your sect and challenge him to a duel, right?” Qin Nan shook his head and said.
He had to capture the guy with his Ownerless Heaven Pattern in the end.
“HAHAHA, the two things you mentioned are nothing to be worried about. I can manipulate your appearance and presence. I can guarantee you that no one would see through your disguise within a day, unless you somehow stumbled into a Nine Heavens Supreme.”
“As for the second problem, Liujie has been staying at the Heart-Cleansing Temple since he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm. He was busy recruiting disciples there. It’s quite a distance away from our sect,” Yuanji burst out laughing.
Qin Nan was convinced that the plan would work.
“By the way, Master Qin, do you know about the Duel of Will?” Yuanjue asked.
Qin Nan shook his head.
“The Duel of Will refers to a showdown between two people without using any Immortal Arts. You can only use your will to overwhelm your opponent.”
Our Ancient Bodhi Temple is different from the other Supreme Daoism factions. Any outsider is allowed to visit the Bodhi cities, temples, or even our sect to challenge even the senior monks.”
“As long as the two participants’ cultivation does not differ by much, and their lives are not in danger. It’s fine even if someone ended up being turned into a cripple during the duel.”
Yuanjue emphasized the word “cripple” while he was explaining.
“Oh? That’s pretty interesting.”
Qin Nan was intrigued.
It was actually quite easy to understand the Ancient Bodhi Temple’s reasonings. It was using the challenges as a way to train his disciples.
Meanwhile, the experts and geniuses of other factions would want to train themselves too.
“Hehe, Qin Nan, you might not know, but before Empress Feiyue achieved the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm, she came to our Ancient Bodhi Temple and challenged six senior monks to a duel. She won the duel in the end and obtained outstanding benefits.”
“With your cultivation, you won’t have any problem defeating Liujie, but you should consider increasing the odds before the duel begins…” Yuanji said.
“Disciples of the same sect are so scary.”
Doom shuddered. He was relieved that he did not join any of the factions in the past.
“I don’t mind agreeing to it,” Qin Nan nodded after a brief hesitation.
The conditions were reasonable for him.
Besides, since they were thinking of turning Liujie into a cripple, it would not matter if he captured the guy with the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, right?
“As expected of my brother!”
Yuanji and Yuanjue were excited.
“Qin Nan, let’s not waste any time further. Five Buddhas of the Heavens, the changes of Daqian!”
Yuanji performed a hand seal. Five enormous statues appeared in the restaurant and emitted a Bodhi glow at Qin Nan.
His physique, appearance, and aura began to shift. He slowly turned into a skinny scholar.
