Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

The carriage.

Jiang Ning's gaze involuntarily turned towards the forest on the right.

The next moment.

His gaze suddenly sharpened.

In the forest, he saw a barefoot white-robed monk standing on the ground, with a touch of cinnabar at his brow, looking very young.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, he couldn't help but smile.

A face like jade, with red lips and white teeth.

At this moment, looking at the white-robed monk, Jiang Ning's heart became heavy.

Because before his gaze met the white-robed monk, he was unaware of the monk's existence.

Even now, aside from being able to see the presence of the white-robed monk with his eyes, it seemed as if this person didn't exist in the world.

"Merging with nature, Unity of Heaven and Man?" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Unity of Heaven and Man.

This term frequently appears in Daoist texts.

Moreover, Lin Qingyi had previously explained to him that once one's mind reaches Unity of Heaven and Man, they can become a Heavenly Grandmaster.

Could this white-robed monk be a Heavenly Grandmaster?

At the same time.

The white-robed monk looked at Jiang Ning, his eyes flashing with surprise.

Of the six divine skills of the Buddhist sect, he had preliminarily mastered two: the Heavenly Vision and the Heavenly Ear Technique.

With these two abilities, nothing obstructed his view, allowing him to see what ordinary people couldn't and hear the language of all beings' joys and sorrows, as well as various sounds of the world.

Looking at Jiang Ning, his eyes gradually became heavy.

"Such strong physique, such terrifying body!"

"At this age, the strength of his body is actually comparable to mine!"

The next moment.

His eyes slightly narrowed, intending to see more clearly.

Then he closed his eyes, suppressing the thoughts in his mind.

Controlling one's curiosity is also a form of cultivating the mind.

Just then, he felt the urge to fully activate the Buddhist Heavenly Eye Divine Power.

At the moment of activation, he immediately suppressed the distractions in his heart.

He knew that although using the Heavenly Eye Divine Power, others wouldn't know.

But within his heart, he couldn't deceive himself.

Yet he was secretly shocked.

"Vajra Immortal Body!"

"It's also a Vajra Immortal Body!"

At the instant the Buddhist Heavenly Eye activated, he saw the skin texture beneath Jiang Ning.

On the other side.

In that instant, Jiang Ning sharply felt himself being observed.

Simultaneously, an inexplicable emotion surged from within his heart.

Like an emperor being humiliated by a commoner, like divinity being offended.

The Heavenly Eye on his forehead spontaneously activated, sweeping towards the white-robed monk.

Thud Thud Thud—

The white-robed monk suddenly felt as if his brow was struck, causing his body to continuously retreat.

He opened his eyes, a look of astonishment flashed across his face as he looked at Jiang Ning.

"Is it Daoist Heavenly Eye, Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, or Heavenly Eye?"

From what he knew, mastering the Heavenly Eye, once spied upon by others, would lead to reflexive backlash.

He had just experienced the backlash of the Heavenly Eye.

Just then.

A shout came from the front of the caravan.

"Everyone, let's get the carts moving!!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning looked ahead and saw that the bald monk blocking the road had already signaled his followers to clear a path.

Clearly, the negotiations had been successful, and the toll had been paid.

"It went smoothly!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

At this time, the merchant convoy's carriages started moving.

He also withdrew his gaze.

Then glanced once more at the youthful white-robed monk.

The monk looked at Jiang Ning, and offered an apologetic smile.

"Brother, I meant no offense, forgive me!!" A clear voice sounded near Jiang Ning's ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded slightly across the space.

At this moment, he understood that the sensation of being spied upon came from the young white-robed monk.

And the sudden activation of his Heavenly Eye was also due to this monk.

There was doubt in his mind, but he realized that the mysterious monk seemingly harbors no malice towards him.

He then withdrew his gaze.

The merchant convoy's carriages quickly moved forward, heading towards the official road crossing Shuangyang Mountain.

A moment later.

As the entire caravan completely disappeared.

The burly monk returned to the side of the young white-robed monk.

"Junior brother, you saw it, right? I am always reasonable! As long as they pay, I'll let them pass peacefully."

"What if they don't pay?" asked the fair-faced, youthful white-robed monk.

Upon hearing this.

The burly monk slammed the heavy zen staff he held in his hand onto the ground.

Boom—

Earth and dirt flew.

"Then I'll let my zen staff have a good conversation with them."

Upon hearing these words, the white-robed monk said: "It's good that senior brother didn't use force."

"Why do you say that, junior brother?"

"There are strong individuals in the caravan!"

"How strong?" asked the burly monk.

"Possibly not weaker than me!"

"Impossible!!" The burly monk shook his head repeatedly.

He continued: "Junior brother is the reincarnation of the Buddha, one of the few in the temple who received the Bodhisattva Precepts. In this small Dongling County, those who can match junior brother can be counted on one's fingers, how could they appear in such a caravan."

The white-robed monk smiled: "There are always people beyond people, skies beyond skies, how dare we underestimate the heroes of the world."

"Junior brother, who are you referring to?"

The white-robed monk recalled.

Then said: "Similar to me, a young man at the rear of the caravan."

"That's even more impossible!!" The burly monk shook his head again and again: "To rival senior brother is nearly impossible, let alone someone as young as senior brother!"

He thought for a moment, then continued: "If such a person truly exists, they would have already become renowned throughout the world."

"Soon enough, senior brother will hear of such a person shaking the world!" said the white-robed monk.

Luoshui County.

Canglang Martial Arts Hall.

Yu Manyun looked at the battered old man before him, her face showing contemplation.
