[On the streets of Longyuan City, you and the White Elephant Demon walk side by side. Occasionally, there are passing pedestrians and commoners, all with cold eyes and expressionless faces.]

[Longyuan City is an extremely large city in Vermilion’s western border. Ancient books say, In all the world, none are as wealthy and prosperous as Longyuan. Once, Longyuan City was a wealthy land recognized by all under heaven.]

[Only, time has passed and the world has changed. Now, the wealthiest place under heaven is the capital city beneath the Martial Emperor’s feet. Longyuan can only be called a pearl amid the boundless yellow sands of the plateau and Gobi.]

[Only after you continue east and head to Luoyi will you be considered to have truly arrived at Vermilion’s central plains.]

After Lin Xun left Kunlun, he headed straight for Longyuan City.

There was still a big BOSS, Void Treasury Secret Trace Buddha, in Qingtang City that he had not cleared. This BOSS was a Buddha who had attained the third fruit rank, which was an immortal+ grade BOSS.

Although he and White Elephant senior brother had obtained treasures in Kunlun, wanting to join hands and beat this BOSS was still a bit too difficult.

Based on the idea that if he could not beat something, he should skip class for now, Lin Xun went straight to Longyuan City on the main route.

In any case, Qingtang was relatively close to Kunlun. Once his strength was sufficient, he could teleport back at any time to clear this BOSS.

Qingtang City was a hidden map, so its difficulty was relatively higher. Longyuan City, by contrast, was a main city on the eastbound road. Even though he had already passed the initial beginner welfare period of the chapter, the difficulty would increase gradually rather than suddenly rise sharply.

[You take the White Elephant Demon and wander around the city for quite a while, yet you do not see any buildings such as Buddhist temples or precious monasteries.]

[You have not seen any Buddhist temples or precious monasteries in the city, but along the road, there are quite a few places of pleasure such as brothels and green chambers.]

[Feeling doubtful, you casually stop a passing commoner and ask, but what you receive in return is an icy and indifferent gaze.]

[You do not mind. You understand that under the corrosion of Extreme Evil, ordinary commoners no longer have much intelligence left.]

[If you want to understand Longyuan City’s situation, you still have to find a key figure.]

Lin Xun did not release the Nine-Tailed Fox. Instead, he let the Nine-Tailed Fox continue cultivating in reality and fuse with Tail of the Qingqiu Fox Progenitor.

According to the information Lu Wu had revealed, the Qingqiu Fox Progenitor was an eternal grade great yokai god before death.

Although the demon race’s bloodline inheritance had a certain degree of loss and could not be completely inherited, if the Nine-Tailed Fox devoted herself to fusion and cultivation, at the very least, she could become an immortal+ grade yokai god. If her talent was exceptional, becoming an eternal grade great yokai god was not impossible either.

It was just that bloodline inheritance was not something too difficult, but if one wanted to truly bring out the proper strength of this realm, one still needed to comprehend the Great Dao.

In this world, Great Dao was another way of referring to Authority. The demon race’s bloodline inheritance seemed like a cheat, but in the end, it still could not bypass the major threshold of Authority.

As for whether the Nine-Tailed Fox could ultimately comprehend Authority, that still depended on her own opportunity and perception.

[Suddenly, you stop in front of a street vendor’s stall…]

[This street stall is set up beside a brothel, slightly away from the bouncers guarding the brothel entrance.]

[From here, you can very clearly see young women in thin gauze on the upper floors, beauties laughing and chattering.]

[Your attention is not on those women, but on the small wooden Buddha statues displayed for sale on the stall.]

[This Buddha statue is different from ordinary Buddha statues. It is not a single Buddha or Bodhisattva, but a pair of dual-body male and female Buddhas.]

[The four-armed male Buddha stands facing the female Buddha with his knees slightly bent. Two hands embrace the female Buddha’s waist, while his other two arms each hold a ritual implement.]

[The female Buddha’s legs hook around the male Buddha’s waist, her arms rest on the male Buddha’s shoulders, and their chests press tightly against each other. They are naked, posed in intercourse.]

[Beneath the male Buddha’s two feet, he is also stepping on a pair of naked boys and girls crawling on the ground.]

[Although the wooden Buddha statue is small, the carving is lifelike.]

[At a glance, you can feel the joy in the female Buddha’s expression, and you can also perceive the lust and satisfaction on the male Buddha’s face. Even the pain-filled faces of the boys and girls being stepped on are vivid and lifelike.]

[You raise an eyebrow and ask the merchant how this Buddha statue is sold.]

[The merchant is expressionless and does not answer. He points at the wooden sign standing beside the street stall, on which the price is marked.]

[You straightforwardly take out five thousand Spirit Essence and buy Dual-Body Male and Female Buddha Statue.]

[You have obtained Dual-Body Male and Female Buddha Statue (Junk)]

[You ask the White Elephant Demon beside you whether it knows the origins of these two Buddhas.]

[The White Elephant Demon takes the Buddha statue and stares at the female Buddha for a long time before frowning and saying that although there are many Buddhas in Western Pure Bliss Heaven, the Bodhisattva made it study its lessons, and it can mostly name any Buddha with great divine abilities and great magic power.]

[But it cannot remember what kind of figures this Buddha and consort are, so they should not be some great Buddhas.]

[However, for the two Buddhas to pose in such a posture means they are cultivating a Buddhist cultivation method. It has heard somewhat about this kind of cultivation method…]

[If its guess is correct, this Buddhist cultivation method should be called Samadhi-Wisdom Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method. It is not the so-called joy meditation of the mortal world, but a very profound Buddhist cultivation method.]

[Samadhi-Wisdom Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method emphasizes using desire to cure desire. It requires a man and woman to cultivate together, thereby cultivating a great divine art in which their nature and life share the same source and their minds connect.]

[Cultivating this technique requires first luring through desire, then leading into Buddha wisdom. Both man and woman must possess great samadhi power that does not change expression even if mountains collapse before their eyes. Only then can they cultivate this technique to a profound realm without becoming trapped in lust and falling into the demonic path.]

[Otherwise, they will be like this unknown Buddha and consort, sinking into endless desire without realizing it…]

[Eh, speaking of which, this is strange. These two Buddhas have clearly already fallen into the demonic path, so why can they still receive worship from people?]

[Ordinarily, if there were Buddhas who were careless in cultivation and clung to appearances before entering delusion, Buddha Ancestor would long since have sent Skanda Deva down to punish this adulterous pair. This truly is strange…]

[As the White Elephant Demon speaks, it freezes in place, seemingly thinking about something in its head.]

[You understand that because of Seed of Glazed Pure Fire, the White Elephant Demon is now still half drunk and not fully drunk. After it travels with you for a longer time, perhaps it will be able to become somewhat more clear-headed.]

[Dense characters flash through your eyes. You know in your heart that Longyuan City has no Buddhist temples, yet has so many places of pleasure. Most likely, this is related to the dual-body Buddha you saw.]

[You lead the White Elephant Demon toward the brothel with the signboard Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion hanging on it. This brothel is also the largest one you have seen along the way…]

[When the bouncers guarding the entrance see that the White Elephant Demon is tall and mighty, draped in a crimson kasaya, like a wrathful Arhat, they immediately lower their heads and bow.]

[The White Elephant Demon’s expression is somewhat unnatural. It moves closer to you and whispers, Junior Brother, although those who cultivate Buddhism like us are not prohibited from women, going to a brothel so openly, isn’t it a bit too… that…]

[You roll your eyes and reply, With you treating, what is there for Senior Brother to panic about? Moreover, the local custom of Longyuan City is like this. When entering a village, follow its customs.]
