The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 295 - 286: Rapid Progress

Chapter 295: Chapter 286: Rapid Progress

At that moment, Jingxin had yet to fully recover from the shock.

He had truly not expected that the young man who had waited outside the temple for a full seven days was the son of the man who had once saved the temple.

Thinking of that man’s status and strength, Jingxin, a monk, felt a chill.

"Jingxin, you will personally arrange the Young Master’s quarters. Whatever he needs, as long as it does not violate our rules, try to accommodate him, but do not let him know the truth, because I suspect he does not know his own identity. There is no need to tell him, as doing so would only cause trouble,"

the old abbot said.

"Alright, Abbot Brother, I will take care of it."

Jingxin bowed and then left.

A moment later, Jingxin found Long Chen.

After a brief conversation, Jingxin was surprised to hear Long Chen say his name was Chen Feng.

It seemed he really had lost his memory, the Abbot Brother hadn’t sensed wrong.

"Chen Donor, please feel at ease staying here, whatever you need, just tell this poor monk, and I will find a way to handle it," Jingxin smiled and said.

"I do have one thing I would like to ask Master Jingxin, I can generate True Qi, but I can’t condense it. If my Dantian is damaged, is there any other way to solve this?" Long Chen asked, looking at Jingxin.

Long Chen couldn’t help but feel that this temple was not simple.

That’s why he asked this question.

Jingxin clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, Chen Donor, I can’t solve your query, but the Abbot Brother definitely can. After the morning lesson tomorrow, you can ask him."

"Thank you, Master," Long Chen bowed.

"Does Donor Chen have any other matters?"

"Could you please arrange for someone to send me a few scriptures? I would like to contemplate them, is that possible?"

"Certainly, Chen Donor, I will arrange that for you now."

"Thank you, Master."

"You’re welcome."

Jingxin left the room.

Shortly after, Jingxin sent a novice monk to bring five scriptures.

Long Chen read through the night, committing all five scriptures to memory and continued his contemplation until dawn, gaining quite a bit.

When the morning bells echoed through the temple, the temple was busy with orderly morning exercises.

Long Chen also got up and joined the morning class.

Afterward, Long Chen went back to the main hall with the old abbot.

Just as Long Chen was pondering how to ask his question, the old abbot spoke first, "Chen Donor, your problem cannot be handled through ordinary martial arts, because you are not considered a person of the martial arts."

"Ah?" Long Chen was astounded, "Master, what do you mean?"

"In this world, besides martial arts cultivators, there are also demon cultivators, divine cultivators, immortal cultivators, and Buddhist practitioners, and there might even be demons.

Most people do not come into contact with these beings and think they are merely legends, but they actually exist.

Before you lost your memory, you were likely an immortal cultivator, and your cultivation was not low," the abbot patiently explained.

"Master, your words have truly broadened my understanding of this world. So, if I’m an immortal cultivator, do I not need a Dantian?"

Long Chen asked.

"Regardless of the path one follows, a Dantian is necessary, but they do not call it Dantian, they call it the Spirit Sea.

Now that your Dantian is damaged, it is as if your Spirit Sea is damaged. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to continue on the path of immortality.

But you are different, your bloodline is special, and with guidance, you can develop an unmatched bodily strength.

This can further make your body’s acupoints extraordinary and use them as the Spirit Sea.

An individual acupoint may contain a small amount of Spiritual Power, but if all the acupoints throughout your body, including your internal organs, are used as the Spirit Sea, then they cannot compare to a single Spirit Sea.

Others do not have this opportunity, but your bloodline gives you this chance.

Now that you are in the Buddhist Sect and are fated with Buddha, I can gift you Buddhist scriptures to help you first cultivate a strong Treasure Body, Vajra Unbreakable, and then gather Spiritual Power again. Spiritual Power gathering at the crown, the five energies returning to the origin, might even directly restore your memory, but this requires a process; remember not to rush," the abbot explained all at once.

Long Chen listened very carefully but was also skeptical.

Was he really an immortal cultivator before?

The abbot could not see, but he could sense Long Chen’s emotions.

The abbot smiled and said, "Chen Donor, don’t think too much, just take it step by step. Here in the temple, you don’t have to worry about anything; no one will disturb you."

"Thank you, Master," Long Chen bowed.

"It’s nothing. How about starting to train your body from today, Chen Donor?"

"I’ll follow whatever you arrange, Master."

After saying this, Long Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Master, you were reluctant to meet me for several days, and after agreeing to meet me, you suddenly wanted to help me so much, is there any mystery in this?"

"There is no mystery," the abbot said, "Agreeing means affirming the fate between us. The Buddhist teachings speak of fate; no need to think too much, Donor Chen."

These words did not convince Long Chen.

But Long Chen did not ask further; the abbot would definitely tell him when it was time to know.

Since he was now willing to help, it meant that he was a friend, not a foe.

In the following days, Long Chen was guided by Jingxin every day in chanting scriptures, meditating, and training.

It was monotonous and hard, but Long Chen adapted quickly and his comprehension surpassed everyone’s expectations.

In just five days, Long Chen’s progress made everyone embarrassed.

Whether in understanding Buddhist doctrine or in physical cultivation, Long Chen reached a frighteningly high level.

Even Jingxin was inferior.

But Long Chen felt that he still had much to improve and did not slacken at all.

Time flew by, and ten days passed in a blink.

In these ten days, Long Chen’s physical strength had broken through two thousand jin.

In ancient times, there was the Overlord lifting tripods; now, Long Chen’s vital energy was not weaker than the legendary Overlord.

Moreover, there was still much room for improvement.

The old abbot had been paying close attention to Long Chen’s situation. After learning of Long Chen’s progress, the abbot had Jingxin call Long Chen to see him.

But just as Jingxin had found Long Chen, he saw a girl chatting with Long Chen.

The girl was none other than Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Long Chen with complex emotions, "Don’t ask me again how I found you; you had mentioned coming to Shaolin. Now I’m asking you, are you sure you won’t leave with me?"

"I’m not leaving," Long Chen said, "I can learn a lot here. I enjoy the free board and lodging and the freedom."

"Is that so?" Ye Zhiqiu clenched her jade-like hands.

"Yes," Long Chen answered firmly.

"So, you are so comfortable that you even forget about your wife?"

Ye Zhiqiu bit her lip, her eyes a bit resentful, "Do you know how hard it was for me to come here to find you?"
