The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 285: The White Lotus Mother's Evil Voice
Before, Fang Xun hadn't realized that all the resources needed for cultivation were provided by the Four Forms Hall and exchanged for merits from the Six Gates.

Now, after hearing what Old Man Mo said, he began to think deeply about it.

The practice of martial arts does not necessarily require resources such as elixirs, magical rice, and medicinal herbs.

The day after tomorrow is not too bad, just enough grains and an occasional medicinal meal are more than enough to meet the needs of practice.

But after reaching the innate level, the training requirements of a warrior will grow exponentially as his strength increases.

If there is no resource supply, and one only relies on ordinary grains to absorb essence and replenish oneself, how much food would be needed?
After reaching the divine level, warriors begin to become inhuman, and a huge amount of resources are needed just to maintain their daily physical needs.

If Fang Xun's meal only consisted of cereals and grains, it would probably be equivalent to more than a year's ration for an ordinary young and strong man to make him 80% full.

This is just to maintain one's own needs. If one wants to continue to improve his strength, this kind of daily meals can't even be mentioned!

When he was in the awakening state before, the Four Forms Hall could still supply him with resources.

And now he has broken through the divine will, not to mention that the headquarters of Sixingtang has moved to Chunyang Prefecture, which is in need of reconstruction, so there are many places to spend money.

It is a bit difficult to provide for his practice.

Seeing Fang Xun lost in thought, Old Man Mo said with a smile.

"You think that the Grandmaster is detached from worldly matters, but no, the God Realm's thirst for resources is even stronger.

Just look at Cheng Wantao and Wu Jun. As masters of Yin Shen, they can definitely establish their own schools. They have many disciples following them and are very impressive.

But why do you want to live under someone else's roof and become a retainer of the Prince of Yue's Palace? Isn't it for the resources? Only by joining other forces can you support yourself. Otherwise, you can bankrupt a sect just by eating!"

Fang Xun nodded, that was indeed the case.

Let’s not talk about the two retainers of Prince Yue’s Mansion, let’s just talk about Old Man Mo and Duan Qingran whom he killed.

Duan Qingran has the Black Water Abyss as a platform to absorb resources, and the Sanshui Pavilion he founded is also a well-known sect in Wuzhou.

But later on, he still had to join the army of Prince Qingfeng. It was for the same reason, all for the resources to practice. After all, a master also needs to eat.

Although Old Man Mo was alone, he founded the Baoxuan Pavilion Chamber of Commerce to provide him with cultivation resources.

If you don't gather everyone's strength and rely on yourself to collect spiritual rice, medicinal materials, elixirs and other resources, can you still practice?

Fang Xun pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement, "You are right. Do you want me to be a gigolo?"

"Haha, how can you say it's gigolo? As long as the man is in love and the woman is willing, and you two support each other, isn't it a match made in heaven?"

The food in the Prince of Yue's Mansion is indeed delicious. With supply resources from the eight states of Jiangnan, they can afford to support not only one Yin Shen Master, but even ten or twenty of them.

However, Fang Xun shook his head and said, "We'll talk about this later."

After saying that, he took a step forward and headed in the direction where Xiao Zhen and his group were leaving.

He took one step at a time and in two or three steps he was out of the courtyard and entered another large compound, where he saw the other person's back.

"Hey, listen to me, kid."

When Old Man Mo saw this, he hurriedly chased after him, but after following him out of the yard, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong with Fang Xun's gaze.

The other party had been staring closely at a black-armored captain in the Awakening Realm behind Xiao Zhen. The old man immediately realized that something was wrong and asked in secret.

"Boy, is there something wrong with that guy?"

"I just feel something is a little unusual. We'll know after testing it out!"

After replying, Fang Xun did not stop, took off the Inverted Dream on his back, and flicked the sword.

Ding--

In an instant, sound waves spread along with the pure and holy Buddha light, and ripples appeared in the air.

"Um?!"

Xiao Zhen and the other two immediately sensed the rising Buddha's energy and the spreading sound waves. They turned around and looked at Fang Xun in surprise.

"Brother Fang, what are you doing?"

But the next moment, the black-armored captain that Fang Xun was staring at suddenly showed a trace of pain on his face, and groaned with his hands on his head.

"Ugh—" In an instant, he fell to the ground, sweat pouring out, and his body trembled violently.

In pain, he raised his head with difficulty and immediately met the calm gaze of Xun above.

Brush it——

A glimmer of confusion flashed across Fang Xun's eyes, as if he had witnessed a thunderclap falling into the other person's heart.

The black-armored captain felt as if he were struck by five thunders and a heavy hammer hit his heart. He seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss and was surrounded by an incomparable terror.

"Um?!"

Xiao Zhen and the other two's hearts skipped a beat and they immediately realized something was wrong.

A gleam of light flashed in Fang Xun's eyes, and it penetrated directly into the mind of the black-armored captain.

In an instant, he seemed to see a graceful shadow, emitting a strange and holy aura.

'What is this? The White Lotus Mother!'

As the spiritual power of Taixu Eye invaded the mind, the shadow suddenly cracked and cracks appeared.

The black-armored captain, whose mind was broken, showed a flash of fear on his face and became crazy again.

"Do not!

Justice is clear, blood sacrifice for all living things!"

After a wail, white light burst out from all the orifices of the mouth, nose, eyes, ears and other parts of the body!

boom--

The whole courtyard was filled with a roar, and suddenly a white lotus condensed from his body's true energy emanated and appeared in mid-air.

In an instant, a soft, sacred voice filled with maternal mercy resounded in everyone's ears.

"The law of nature is clear, and the people of the world are ignorant. The White Lotus cleanses the filth, and by destroying all sentient beings in the world and offering blood as a sacrifice to the common people, you will gain great joy and great liberation!"

"No! He is a member of the Tianli sect!"

Xiao Zhen and the other two's faces changed drastically, and they attacked without saying a word.

boom--

In an instant, the black-armored captain who was kneeling on the ground was blasted into a bloody mist.

But the white lotus was still in the air, emitting pure white holy light, which made people feel admiration when they saw it.

When those black-armored soldiers were illuminated by the white light, a hint of confusion appeared in their eyes.

"Humph! You dare to cause trouble with just a trace of true energy!"

Upon seeing this, Old Man Mo snorted coldly, stretched out his five fingers, and in a flash, he tore the white lotus floating in the air.

tear-

Sparks flew in the air and waves of air spread out.

Everyone else, including Fang Xun, was forced to retreat.

There was another "puff" sound, and the white lotus formed by the condensation of true energy was finally destroyed. The eyes of those black-armored soldiers who were only at the Innate Realm also regained clarity, and a fear filled their hearts.

They were almost, just a little bit short of being bewitched by the evil methods of the Tianli Sect and becoming cultists!
Old Man Mo stood there with an expression more solemn than ever before. He finally understood.

Why did so many masters from various Jiangnan martial arts sects and the army from the eight states only surround the border of Lingzhou but not attack?

Only a tiny bit of true energy from the White Lotus Mother is enough to affect the minds of warriors in the Tongmai Realm and even the Kaiqiao Realm. If they are not prepared, the Kaiqiao warriors will be brainwashed and bewitched!

However, there was a hint of weirdness mixed in with Fang Xun's inner solemnity.

'Why does the White Lotus Mother's bewitching spiritual secret method seem similar to the principle of "Selfless Brahma Sound"?'
