Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter Sixty: Joining Forces with the Little Monk

"Hehe, Little Master Fayuan, I am a disciple of the Blood Refining Sect!" Lin Haoming knew his own situation; going with the other party was absolutely impossible.

The little monk frowned upon hearing this, scratching his head and saying, "Is it because of that Benefactor Xie? If so, let me tell you, my master is an unparalleled beauty, not inferior to that female benefactor at all! Back then, that's why I became her disciple. Besides, you already have my master as your backer, why not just snatch your Senior Sister Xie back? At most, I won't compete with you!"

Hearing the little monk's reply, Lin Haoming was utterly speechless. Just who was this little monk Fayuan's master? With his character, if his master was like this, would he still be considered a member of the Buddhist sect?

Lin Haoming, somewhat amused and exasperated, asked, "Fayuan, how old are you this year? How old were you when you became my disciple?"

"Nineteen this year. My father was originally a general of a country. Later, my master found me while passing by and took me away. It's been almost four years since I became his disciple!" Fayuan said, thinking as he spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Haoming was immediately dumbfounded. This little monk was originally a mortal, but after becoming his disciple four years ago, he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, just like him, and that was while practicing physical techniques! It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.

"Is your master a nun?" Lin Haoming asked.

"Vajra Divine Nun Nianxin, that's my master!" the little monk answered directly.

"Ah! You're Nun Nianxin's disciple?" Lin Haoming exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Lin Haoming's astonishment, the little monk's face lit up with pride.

Lin Haoming had indeed heard of Nun Nianxin's reputation long ago; she was the number one female cultivator in the Buddhist sect! Looking at the little monk, Lin Haoming's expression changed slightly. He cautiously asked, "Legend has it that Nianxin Shenni began her seclusion a hundred years ago to break through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage. I just wonder if she has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage after all this time!"

Seeing that Lin Haoming seemed quite respectful towards his master, the little monk smiled and replied, "You're right. My master emerged from seclusion seven years ago, and she is indeed now at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Hearing Fayuan confirm it, Lin Haoming could only sigh at his good fortune. This seemingly eccentric little monk had such a powerful background. It seemed that among the founders of his Blood Refining Sect, there was only one person at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!

"How about it, benefactor? A Great Perfection Nascent Soul founder has taken you as a disciple, and she's so beautiful! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" the little monk said in his unique way.

Lin Haoming smiled wryly, "I'm telling you, Little Master Fayuan, do you think it's too hasty for me to go with you based on just a few words?"

"Hmm! That seems a little bit. What do you want?" Fayuan asked after thinking for a moment.

"How about this, let's form an alliance this time?" Lin Haoming asked.

"You want spirit stones?" Fayuan asked.

Lin Haoming nodded, "I think all the sects here have offered their disciples a price. Our Blood Refining Sect, whoever wins the championship and contributes the most will receive a reward of three Foundation Establishment Pills!"

"Hey! I thought it was something big, just three Foundation Establishment Pills. Here, take this!" Fayuan patted his storage bag, and a small bottle immediately flew towards Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming took it, poured it out, and found that it was indeed a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Lin Haoming looked at Fayuan in disbelief and asked, "Is this yours?"

"My master gave it to me. She's been in seclusion for a long time and doesn't have time to supervise me. She said if I encountered problems in my cultivation and couldn't establish my foundation on my own, I should take it. I figured I wouldn't need it, so I just gave it to you!" Fayuan said confidently.

Lin Haoming was speechless. This person didn't even need a Foundation Establishment Pill and was confident he could establish his foundation, while he himself had a Foundation Establishment Pill but wasn't confident at all. It was like heaven and earth.

Lin Haoming simply put the Foundation Establishment Pill away and said with a smile, "This thing is indeed very useful to me, so I'll accept it. But I'm more curious, Little Master Fayuan, what method did you use to gain so much merit?"

"It's a Soul-Soothing Mantra. As long as someone has just died and their soul hasn't completely dissipated, it can bring peace to their spirit, thus granting them merit. This is a method in the *Vajra Subduing Demons Technique*, used as the foundation for the unity of Dharma and body, helping to cultivate the Golden Body of Immeasurable Merit!" the little monk didn't hide anything.

"I wonder if you could teach me this Soul-Soothing Incantation?" Lin Haoming asked tentatively.

Fa Yuan looked at Lin Haoming, pondered for a moment, then patted his storage bag, producing a jade slip. He then slapped the jade slip against his bald head, and after a while, tossed it to Lin Haoming.

"This is the technique for the Soul-Soothing Incantation. Since you can directly absorb merit, I believe you should be able to cultivate it!"

Lin Haoming took the jade slip, still somewhat incredulous that the other party had simply given him the incantation.

Fa Yuan noticed Lin Haoming's surprise and chuckled, "Don't be surprised. This Soul-Soothing Spell is nothing, especially for a demonic cultivator like you. Practicing it would actually suppress your demonic arts, so it's useless to you. This humble monk hopes you can cultivate it, though. Of course, if you're willing to come with me, your master will definitely teach you the corresponding techniques. You'll definitely have a brighter future than you did in the Blood Refining Sect!"

Regardless of the other party's intentions, Lin Haoming knew he couldn't go with them. As for the immediate benefits, he'd take what he could. Once he left and returned to his sect, would the other party really come knocking on his door?

Thinking this, Lin Haoming suddenly felt a little relieved!

Fa Yuan looked at Lin Haoming, feeling somewhat at ease as well. Since the other party was interested in the Soul-Soothing Spell, once he actually practiced it, he would discover the spell's restrictions on demonic arts. Unable to cultivate demonic arts, he would naturally give up, and he wouldn't even need to say much; the other party would come with him.

Both harbored their own ulterior motives, but the atmosphere was quite pleasant at that moment.

Lin Haoming reached the top of the grotto and dug out the bronze bell that had hidden inside.

Fayuan, on the other hand, retrieved the nine flying swords that he had previously knocked away.

This bronze bell was a high-grade magic artifact, and not just any high-grade magic artifact, but one that Lin Haoming had used to kill so many people in one fell swoop, so he had been eyeing it for a while.

As for Fayuan, he had discovered during his fight with Wu Hongfei that this set of flying swords was extraordinary; even after being knocked away by his prayer beads, it remained undamaged, demonstrating its sturdiness.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Fayuan smiled and said, "We've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Lin Haoming!" Lin Haoming replied.

"So it's Benefactor Lin! Good! Let's put everything else aside for now and join forces this time to help more people pass on, so you can grab more spirit stones, and my Boundless Merit Golden Body can also reach the second level!" Fayuan suggested.

Lin Haoming naturally wouldn't refuse the young monk's suggestion, and just like that, to his own surprise, he joined forces with the young monk Fayuan.
