Places similar to the Lingyan Pavilion were usually privy to information. Hence, the lady was swiftly recognized as the Demon Lord Kui Li, who was publicly renowned in the last hundred years.
The reason why she was termed to be extremely popular was due to Kui Li’s accomplishment of a major task. The cultivation sect had always deemed either Daoism and Buddhism as their authentic practice. Those who took lead in Daoism are Xuantian and Qing Xuan. While Buddhism was divided into Hinayana, which it was comprised of two sects, the Tattvasiddhi, and the Kushahu, and Mahayana which comprised of six sects, namely the Risshu, Sanlun, Tiantai, Yogacara, Huayan, and Shingon. Subsequently, Fahai from the Jinguang Temple joined the Jintu Sect. After the destruction of Vidyaraja Temple, also sometimes referred to as Vidyaraja Temple, Huike entered the Zen Sect. Above all mentioned were collectively termed as the ‘ten sects of Buddhism’. Since then, the Zen master of each sect was no longer inferior to Golden Luohan’s cultivation experience and was compatible with Dao’s immortal Zhenren.
Ever since Huike entered the Zen Sect, within a span of a thousand years, a total of five generations of eminent monks were born and termed as the ‘Five Masters’. It was then that the Zen Sect’s popularity surpassed the remaining nine sects. They possessed the power to govern almost all of the Buddhist sectors in the world. As there were many Zen Sect connoisseurs, they could almost be on par with Qing Xuan. Their commemoration temple was constructed at the late address of Vidyaraja Temple, it was then renamed as Small Lei Yin Temple, adopting the idea of Buddhism being as mighty as thunder. The reason for the term ‘small’ in its name was because there was a Big Lei Yin Temple which Buddha resided in according to legend. Hence, ‘small’ was used to differentiate between the two.
It can be said that in the mortal world, apart from Xuantian and Qing Xuan, the toughest places to intrude was Small Lei Yin Temple. However, a hundred years ago, the Demon Lord Kui Li managed to utilize supernatural powers, intruded into the Sutra Repository of the Small Lei Yin Temple and stole the precious Mahamayuri Scripture. Other than Zen Sect’s Huike, the other four masters collaborated to assassinate Kui Li over ten years. However, she still managed to escape, causing the four zen masters to give up the chase, condoning the stolen scripture to go adrift.
Thereafter, Demon Lord Kui Li constructed a place of enlightenment at Chui Ping Mountain, claimed herself to be the owner of Chui Ping Mountain, and possessed infinite mana. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even immortal Zhenrens, were unwilling to infuriate her.
Such an intimidating and prominent figure like Kui Li arrived at Lingyan Pavilion’s division out of a sudden, causing the handsome young lad to tremble in fear.
Kui Li seemed slightly unhappy and mentioned, “Do not call me King, sounds too bucolic, call me Lord of the Mountain.”
Her voice was sweetly-tuned and extremely melodious. If the handsome young lad had never addressed her as King Kui Li, all the other cultivators might have thought that she was a maiden of some aristocracy.
The handsome young lad forcefully held back his fear, tried to keep himself calm and spoke, “Greetings to you, Mountain Lord, I am the person who is responsible for the Lingyan Pavilion, Wei Ran. Do you have any orders?”
Kui Li cast a glance at the cultivators upstairs, waved her hand as though she was trying to shoo away flies and said, “You people, get out.” After which she pointed at Cultivator Jia and said, “You can stay.”
Instantaneously, there were cultivators who showed signs of fury. Even though she was a shapeshifted demon lord, there was no reason for her to bully others so brutally. As some wanted to voice out their dissatisfaction, Wei Ran immediately said, “Dear guests, let me, Wei Ran, buy you this meal, this is King Kui Li, the Lord of Chui Ping Mountain, please do not commit mistakes recklessly.”
Very few actually knew the name of the Lord of Chui Ping Mountain. When Lord of Chui Ping Mountain was mentioned, many cultivators found it familiar. Some suddenly recalled this name and whispered to the people around them and within a short span of time, many people were shocked and astonished. Who else dared to make an extra comment? Even the cultivator who lost his Murderous Zimu Needle immediately followed the mass to leave Dengtian building through light travel.
Instantly, the whole of the upper story was left with only the Demon Lord Kui Li, Wei Ran, and Cultivator Jia.
Cultivator Jia was extremely restless, he did not know why the world-renowned demon lord requested for him to stay. Fortunately, the Lord of Chui Ping Mountain saved his life prior to this account, thus he was not as terrorized.
Kui Li tidied her hair strands that were dangling at her ear loop, radiating a sense of indolence which an elegant lady would have. However, the other two dared not even to catch a glimpse of her. She chose a seat catered for tea drinking which was previously not occupied by anyone. It was a spot that allowed one to have a good view of the scenery of a misty evening. One that was wide, expansive, and ever-changing. It was closely similar to the clouds and mist she once saw on the Taiyi Peak.
Wei Ran hinted Cultivator Jia with a glance and both of them walked towards Kui Li respectfully. Nonetheless, it was still Wei Ran who initiated, “My Lord, what orders do you have for us?”
“I am here to pick a present for someone.” Kui Li let out a smile. She looked at the misty view surrounding her and it seemed to improve her mood.
Only then Wei Ran was relieved. As long as the Demon Lord Kui Li did not spur chaos, even if she did not want to pay for the goods, it was also acceptable for it was worth it. He said, “What kind of goods are you searching for? Let me find it for you and if there is one, I would hand it over to you right now. If there it is not found here, I would send my men to fetch it from the main department.”
He spoke with full confidence, for thousands of years, the family business of the Lingyan Pavilion had expanded greatly, Demon King Xuantong can even be considered as the disciple of Zhenren Xiangshan, his fame cannot be undermined. Moreover, Demon King Xuantong was known for completing his work justly. Even though many cultivators’ treasures were unable to be sold out within a short period of time, he would willingly store them in Lingyan Pavilion. Therefore, there were all kinds of goods for cultivation in Lingyan Pavilion. Even unique treasures that were rarely seen can be found here, or there would at least be significant clues about the treasures.
Kui Li took out an invitation, it flew graciously into the hands of Wei Ran. On top of it plastered a spiritual will and Wei Ran immediately understood what kind of present Demon Lord Kui Li wanted to pick.
Wei Ran pondered for awhile and said, “My Lord has listed ten treasures, it is possible to search for three types of it here if I remember correctly. Out of the remaining seven treasures, six can be found from our main department. I can immediately order my men to travel back to the main department to collect it for you, with the exception of the Fruit of Desire. That, we do not have it here in Lingyan Pavilion. After all, after the plummet of a deity that was compatible with celestials or Buddhas, only then can the condensation of the remaining spirituality and spiritual form produce such a treasure. Usually, once such treasure is found, it would be used right on the spot, or be kept in secret for inheritance purposes.”
Demon Lord Kui Li furrowed and said, “I worked so hard to produce a list of ten special gifts, you are now telling me that I would be short of one present, how can such presentation of gifts be termed as perfection?”
Kui Li groaned softly and spoke with a tinge of dissatisfaction, “Those things that you mentioned, I can easily find them myself if I were not bothered by the hassle. I would not be even bothered to come to you. Forget about it! Prepare the nine treasures you have mentioned, I will personally obtain the Fruit of Desire myself.”
Wei Ran let out a sigh of relief and said, “I will immediately start the preparation. Within roughly two hours, I should be able to get all of them.”
Kui Li said, “Oh right, tell me would you. Are there any deities that is compatible with the level of celestials and Buddhas nearby the Yuan Continent?”
Wei Ran felt that her question appeared to be rather strange but still replied, “Head north for about thirty-five thousand miles. There is someone called King Ahyu. It is rumored that he has a book that contains the theories of deity cultivation. Hence, it caused a whole nation of civilians to worship him following a brutal blood-shedding ceremony by using a physical form to conceal God. It is extremely powerful and there is a possibility of him being close to the level of celestials and Buddhas.”
Kui Li said, “Good.” Thereafter, only five colored divine light rays could be seen. It slit through the sky and disappeared.
Cultivator Jia asked curiously, “Brother Wei, why did Lord of the Chui Ping Mountain leave out of a sudden?”
Wei Ran furrowed and said, “How would I know?”
He then continued. “There is no need to fear Brother Jia, I have heard that Lord had some relations with Qing Xuan which you belong to. She will not harm you in any way.”
Cultivator Jia was shocked and said, “What relations were there?”
“I have only heard the master of our pavilion mentioned it a few times. However, I am not aware of the details, I will be leaving to instruct my men to collect the things requested by Lord, please do wait for a moment,” mentioned Wei Ran softly.
He left just for a bit and returned. Since Lingyan Pavilion had their rules and regulations, as long as the order was released, there would be people who would accomplish the tasks very quickly.
Wei Ran knew that it was not very nice to neglect Cultivator Jia. Hence, both of them drank about two pots of tea together. Then once again, they saw five colored divine lights slit through the sky, headed towards them. They knew Kui Li had returned. Hence, they immediately rose to attend to her.
