    At this moment, Jing Chen Si was just opening her eyes and sitting up.

    Chen Yun was preparing to move forward and ask about the condition of the other party.

    Suddenly, a series of refreshing fragrances that penetrate the soul came from nearby.

    Niu Da Li smiled and said, "Oh, the Jiushici Huangrong grass has matured!"

    "Nine Death Reviving Grass?" Jing Chen Si Ta slightly surprised the side of her head towards Ling Gen, "there is such a treasure here?"

    Chen Yun ignored Jing Chen Si Tai's remark and said to Niu Da Li, "Brother Niu, could you please help pick these three Nine-Death Reviving Grass?"

    Niu Da Li was somewhat excited and said, "Okay."

    After that, he walked to the Nine Death Reviving Grass and picked it carefully.

    Chen Yun, however, was staring at Jing Chen Si Tai, although he had just saved the other party, there were instances in the cultivation world of people helping snakes and then being attacked when they least expected it. Particularly, here was the Yueyang Cave Heaven which was not under Tian court's jurisdiction. Who knows if Jing Chen Si Tai might get greedy and do something unexpected?

    Being a relatively cautious person, Chen Yun naturally couldn't go himself to pick the Nine Death Reviving Grass, his task was to watch Jing Chen Si Tai.

    Fortunately, although Jing Chen Si Tai looked very surprised, she sat there quietly without making any moves.

    This relieved Chen Yun. The black qi he had just dispelled for Jing Chen Si Tai to eliminate the Chaos God, had consumed a lot of his own essence power. If the other party made a move at this time, besides using his divine essence, he was not sure if he could withstand it.

    Not long after, Niu Da Li came back, having picked the three Nine-Death Reviving Grasses.

    He reached out and handed two of the Nine-Death Reviving Grasses to Chen Yun, while he only took one himself, "Chen Zhenren, please take it."

    Chen Yun frowned and said, "Brother Niu, as we agreed before, we should share the treasure equally. I cannot take two of the Nine Death Reviving Grasses."

    Niu Da Li said seriously, "If it were not for you, Chen Zhenren, repelling Long Zhan Tian earlier, we wouldn't have been able to obtain such a treasure as the Nine-Death Reviving Grass. To be honest, I only got this one because of your favor. If there were four of them and you were willing to split them equally with me, I would be delighted to get a good deal. But now there are only three, and your contribution is great. Therefore, you should take one more."

    Chen Yun looked at Niu Da Li's seriousness and didn't continue to refuse. He took the two Nine-Death Reviving Grasses and said, "Okay, thank you brother Niu."

    Niu Da Li said with a smile, "I should thank you instead."

    Between a few words and a few sentences, the two had already divided up the Nine-Death Reviving Grass.

    Although Jing Chen Si Tai was sitting still, her eyes were focused on the two Nine-Death Reviving Grasses in Chen Yun's hand, without blinking.

    Chen Yun naturally noticed this scene.

    Chen Yun understood Jing Chen Si Tai's actions. After all, the Nine-Death Reviving Grass is incredibly precious; it's a lifesaving item that anyone would cherish.

    However, Chen Yun definitely wouldn't hand this treasure over to others. He pretended not to notice and directly put the two Nine-Death Reviving Grasses into the Tao Space of the Jing Wu Tu.

    As a result, he acted as if he didn't notice, but Jing Chen Si Tai proactively asked, "Chen Dao Friend, you have two Nine Death Reviving Grasses. Can the Daoist I exchange one of them for my treasure?"

    If it were something else, Chen Yun would probably negotiate with the other person.

    The Nine-Death Reviving Grass is too precious, and he rejected without hesitation, "Jing Chen Si Tai, I'm sorry. I need these for my cultivation and cannot share one with you."

    "Alright." Jing Chen Si Tai looked a bit disappointed and quickly changed the subject, "Thank you so much for saving me from the entanglement, Chen Zhenren. I'm not an ungrateful person. I have some good cultivation roots, heavenly and earthly treasures, and artifacts here. Which of them do you find attractive? I'll take them out and present them to you as a token of gratitude for your great mercy."

    She turned to Niu Da Li and said, "Mr. Niu, as Chen Zhenren mentioned, it was you who saved me. You can also choose one item later."

    Niu Da Li didn't respond immediately, but looked towards the side.

    Chen Yun knew from the beginning that Jing Chen Si Tai would express her gratitude, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.

    He must have been thinking of obtaining something from her, but not the heavenly and earthly roots, rare treasures, or artifacts; rather, something that could suppress the heart demon.

    Thinking of this, Chen Yun nodded at Niu Da Li.

    Niu Da Li understood, and laughed loudly, "Madam is so generous, then I will accept with gratitude."

    Chen Yun followed closely, "Jing Chen Si Tai, I don't need the items. How about I ask you for a method instead? Would that be alright?"

    Jing Chen Si Tai slowly stood up from the ground, somewhat surprised, "Friend, the earthly roots and treasures I possess are all good things. Are you really not interested in any of them?"

    Chen Yun said frankly, "I have encountered some problems in my cultivation and thus wish to seek a secret method from the Master to suppress my heart demons. Although the other items are good, they are not as important as my own cultivation."

    Jing Chen Si Tai seemed to be deep in thought, then smiled and nodded, "I understand what you mean, Chen Zhenren. Alright, I'll first let Mr. Niu choose his items, and then we can discuss the matter of heart demons later? Heart demons come in many forms, and the secret method you need to suppress them, I will also need to tailor it to the situation."

    Chen Yun understood the logic and said, "Okay."

    He was actually quite curious about what Jing Chen Si Tai would take out to express her gratitude to Niu Da Li for saving his life.

    Jing Chen Si Tai seemed to be an honest nun, not at all hesitating. She gently moved her fingers, and a purple gold bowl appeared in her palm.

    As she threw the purple gold bowl, the bowl the size of a dish instantly transformed into a basin.

    Chen Yun looked into the purple gold bowl and saw many heavenly and earthly roots, rare treasures, and artifacts inside.

    There were many items inside, but his gaze was immediately drawn to one particular heavenly and earthly root, completely disregarding everything else.

    Because this was the most precious Wan You Ju Shen Cao, the missing ingredient for the Cultivation Soup of Transcendence!

    Chen Yun's breathing suddenly stopped, and his heart thumped wildly.

    He was even a bit regretful, thinking that he shouldn't have refused Jing Chen Si Tai's compensation earlier.

    However, he thought for a moment, although the Wan You Ju Shen Cao was excellent and the Cultivation Soup was amazing, if he couldn't solve the problem of heart demon, all of it would be empty talk.

    Thinking about this, Chen Yun became somewhat indifferent, no longer feeling regretful.

    Nevertheless, he still wanted to obtain the Wan You Ju Shen Cao. He thought about giving Niu Da Li a sign to help him pick it up and then trade it for some treasure later.

    Before he could even send a signal, Jing Chen Si Tai pointed at the Wan You Ju Shen Cao and one of the artifacts and said to Niu Da Li, "Mr. Niu, you can choose any of the other items except for this Wan You Ju Shen Cao and the Dafa Drum. I plan to use the Wan You Ju Shen Cao to break through to the Earthly Immortal realm, and the Dafa Drum is a relic left by my teacher before they passed away. I can't bear to give it to anyone else."

    Upon hearing this, Chen Yun was greatly disappointed. He realized that Jing Chen Si Tai had no intention of giving the Wan You Ju Shen Cao to others.

    Niu Da Li had also been staring at the Wan You Ju Shen Cao. He had already known that Chen Yun needed it, and upon hearing Jing Chen Si Tai's words, he couldn't continue to look at it. He could only say, "Very well. I'll take a quick look."

    Jing Chen Si Tai apologized, "I am truly sorry."

    Niu Da Li smiled and said, "Madam doesn't need to be so polite."

    He carefully looked at it for a while and finally fixed his gaze on a golden fruit that resembled a sweet potato, "Madam, the Golden Pure Yang Fruit, can I take it?"

    Jing Chen Si Tai smiled and said, "The Golden Pure Yang Fruit can indeed increase the chances of successfully breaking through to the Earthly Immortal realm for those who practice Taoist methods. However, since my Buddhist cultivation method is quite different from Taoism, I don't actually need to use it. Mr. Niu, you can take it as you wish."

    Niu Da Li expressed gratitude with a "Thank you."

    Subsequently, Jing Chen Si Tai took the Golden Pure Yang Fruit from the purple gold bowl and handed it to Niu Da Li personally.

    After the selection was complete, as Jing Chen Si Tai was putting away the purple gold bowl, she pointed to a nearby stone and said, "Chen Zhenren, let's sit down and talk about the matter of heart demons slowly?"

    Chen Yun said, "Very well, thank you for your trouble, Master."

    Saying this, the three of them sat down on the stone.

    Jing Chen Si Tai looked over seriously, "Tell me about your situation with the heart demon, and I will analyze it to see what kind of heart demon it is and whether there is a way to resolve it."

    Chen Yun spoke carefully, "I used to fight with a disciple of the Yinshan sect called Xie Wuming before I had achieved immortality. Later, I relied on my cultivation to defeat him and send him into the cycle of rebirth. However, I never imagined that the Yinshan sect was not following the rules. The Master Brother Yin Wuji came to seek revenge, and at that time, my cultivation was shallower than his. Finally, I managed to defeat him by manifesting Dao Qi and erase his essence and form completely. At first, I thought that would be the end of it..."

    Jing Chen Si Tai was listening intently.

    Niu Da Li also raised his ears to listen.

    Chen Yun knew that this kind of thing needed to be said in detail, so others could give you the right treatment. Otherwise, if others didn't even know why you had a heart demon in the first place, how could they come up with a solution?

    Chen Yun continued, "That Xie Wuming was the eldest son of the Yinshan sect's fifth master, Xie Wuyang. He had a pre-marriage agreement with Shen Xu, the daughter of Xingyue Haodao Pian. After I killed Xie Wuming, Shen Xu came to seek revenge. After experiencing life and death crises, my cultivation increased significantly, and I eradicated both the Yinshan sect and Xingyue Haodao Pian. As a result, I became enemies with them and struggled with them after achieving immortality. Since then, I have always been thinking of killing the two to prevent any future troubles. Although Xie Wuyang has been killed by me now, only Shen Gengteng has reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal realm and still holds an extremely powerful artifact. I can't deal with him at present. This has damaged my cultivation very seriously and caused me to lose focus on my Dao."

    Jing Chen Si Tai was a bit puzzled and said, "When you saved me earlier, I could observe that you have already condensed your essence into a spirit form."

    Chen Yun nodded, "Yes, but I did not refine the essence into a spirit form through normal means. Instead, I forcibly refined a spirit form by absorbing the original source of the essence from the residual soul of an ancient cultivator. Because the realm exceeds the scope that my Dao heart can control, so recently, I often feel unpredictable emotions that are not within my control. Sometimes I even have thoughts of killing and stealing."

    Before this, Niu Da Li had already sensed it and had even spoken out to warn. Now that he heard Chen Yun telling the truth, he nodded softly in the distance, indicating that everything Chen Yun said was true.

    Jing Chen Si Tai asked after listening, "You feel very murderous?"

    Chen Yun reminisced for a moment, "It's not just the heavy killing intent. There are many distracting thoughts in my head."

    Jing Chen Si Tai fell silent, furrowing her brows in thought.

    Chen Yun did not rush the other person, but sat quietly and waited.

    After about half a tea session, Jing Chen Si Tai seemed to have thought of something, speaking softly, "If I haven't judged wrong, Chen Zhenren, you should be trapped in the Blood Weapon Demon Realm."

    Niu Da Li asked with a hint of curiosity, "What is the Blood Weapon Demon Realm?"

    Jing Chen Si Tai smiled and said, "Mr. Niu, since you are not a true descendant of the Taoist school, it is normal that you wouldn't know about the Blood Weapon Demon. The Blood Weapon Demon is quite remarkable; it accumulates clouds of soldiers and horses, with weapons as frosty as snow, spears and arrows raised, bowstrings tight. It's about fighting and killing, swift and unstoppable. This is what the Blood Weapon Demon looks like."

    Chen Yun naturally knew about the Blood Weapon Demon, but he was trapped in it and couldn't see the truth.

    Now that he heard Jing Chen Si Tai say this, Chen Yun suddenly woke up to the realization that he had that kind of attitude.

    Niu Da Li had an epiphany and said, "Oh, I see. I used to be extremely combative for a while, wanting to kill others, but somehow, I managed to get through it in the end."

    She said, "I suppose you have a relatively pure mind." She turned her head to look at Chen Yun and said, "Chen Zhenren, I heard what you just said. It seems like you have only just entered the realm of demons, and have not yet reached the point of massive destruction. In this case, suppressing the demon in your heart should be quite easy."

    Chen Yun was surprised to find that Jing Chen Si Tai really had a method to cure him, and he joyfully asked, "May I ask, Master Jing, what is the cure?"

    Jing Chen Si Tai said, "In our Buddhist school, there is a scripture called the 'Tripitaka of Paramita-buddha Mind Treasure'. It was brought back by Tang Xuanzang from the Buddha. If one uses their spiritual power to recite this scripture, it can suppress demons that have only just entered deeply. However, there are some secret methods that I need to personally teach you. Can you please ask Mr. Niu to wait for a moment and go elsewhere temporarily?"

    Generally, the Dharma should not be passed on to more than two ears, so Jing Chen Si Tai's request was inevitable, and Niu Da Li couldn't refuse.

    He stood up and said, "Very well."

    After saying that, Niu Da Li turned and left.

    At this time, Jing Chen Si Tai looked at Chen Yun and said, "Chen Zhenren, you first recite the 'Tripitaka of Paramita-buddha Mind Treasure' for me, and once you have memorized it, I will teach you how to use the secret methods."

    Chen Yun hurried to stand up and bow, saying, "Thank you, Master."

    Jing Chen Si Tai smiled and said, "You saved my life. I am passing on a method to subdue heart demons to you. Why should you thank me so much?"

    Chen Yun simply didn't bother with courtesies anymore and said, "Please teach me, Master Jing."

    Jing Chen Si Tai recited slowly, "Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, while practicing the profound Perfection of Wisdom, sees that all the aggregates are empty, and overcomes all distresses. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness; emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness; emptiness is form. The same with sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness. Shariputra, these are the empty nature of all phenomena, neither arising nor ceasing..."

    Chen Yun listened with great seriousness, memorizing the content of the Heart Sutra.

    The "Tripitaka of Paramita-buddha Mind Treasure" is not very long. Soon, Jing Chen Si Tai reached the end of the recitation, "……the word spell is: Jieji, jieji, Bolujieji, Bolongjiedeji, Bodhi Saopoha."

    After the recitation of the Heart Sutra was complete, Jing Chen Si Tai asked, "Chen Zhenren, have you memorized it?"

    Chen Yun said, "I have memorized it."

    Jing Chen Si Tai shook her head, implying something else, "You haven't memorized it yet. I'll recite it again."

    Uh, I really do remember it.

    Chen Yun was a bit confused by Jing Chen Si Tai's actions.

    Just as he was puzzled, Jing Chen Si Tai began to recite the content of the "Tripitaka of Paramita-buddha Mind Treasure" again.

    This time, for some reason, as Chen Yun listened, he felt a vague sense of confusion, as if he was about to enter a dazed state. Despite his efforts to stay focused, he missed quite a bit of the content of the Heart Sutra.

    After a moment, Jing Chen Si Tai asked again, "Chen Zhenren, how much do you remember now?"

    Chen Yun tried to recall and told the truth, "Eighty percent."

    Jing Chen Si Tai showed a look of surprise, but she remained calm. "Eighty percent is too much. I'll recite it again."

    Chen Yun realized this time that the other party was using this method to suppress his heart demon through great magic!

    Sure enough, Jing Chen Si Tai recited the "Tripitaka of Paramita-buddha Mind Treasure" for the third time.

    This time, it seemed she increased the intensity.

    Chen Yun listened to it, and he felt even more dazed, as if he might soon enter a trance-like state.

    Even though he tried very hard to get out of it, he still appeared half-asleep and half-awake.

    After a while, Jing Chen Si Tai was sweating profusely. "Chen Eldest Brother, how much do you remember now?"

    Chen Yun was honest, "Five percent."

    Jing Chen Si Tai looked frustrated and laughed bitterly. "Chen Eldest Brother, your Dao heart……Indeed……Well, let me rest for a moment, and then I will recite the Heart Sutra for you again. As long as you can remember less than three percent of it, then we don't need to worry about the Blood Weapon Demon for now. I will teach you the secret method later, and you should pay attention to cultivating your heart in your daily practice. You should be free from any troubles!"

    Ah?

    So simple?

    Can it be so quickly to suppress the heart demon?

    Chen Yun felt secretly pleased in his heart. It was not in vain that he decided to save Jing Chen Si Tai earlier. It turned out that she had a way to help him suppress the heart demon. This choice of his was indeed right!
