Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 57: Endure the hardships of the people below, I will take on the merits and virtues.

The Xiaojinguang Temple attaches great importance to the on-site ceremony.

Five scattered cultivators were sent as overseers, and there were hundreds of martial artists.

Su Ping noticed that these martial artists from Xiaojinguang Temple were all bald monks with strong builds, capable of doing the work of ten men.

With their efforts, the venue was set up in just a few days, leaving only some minor tasks for ordinary believers to complete.

Su Ping pretended to be interested and went to inspect the on-site ceremony, inquiring about the function of the formation.

As the inspector of the Golden Sparrow City, it was normal for him to worry about the formations appearing in the nearby area.

When Su Ping appeared outside the city, the major families inside and outside the city immediately took action and sent their elites to follow.

The scene looked as if a wave of superiors had come to inspect the work.

However, unexpectedly, the monk in charge of this place at Xiaojinguang Temple took the initiative to explain the formation after describing the on-site ceremony.

"This is the Vajra Demon Subduing Formation bestowed upon our temple by the Great Xiaojinguang Temple. It is also the Vajra Demon Subduing Formation for all righteous people."

"This formation only has the function of absorbing the faith and eradicating the evil spirits in the artifacts."

"So there is no need to worry about any leakage. On the contrary, both the Great Xiaojinguang Temple and our temple hope that this formation can be widely spread, so that all capable individuals are willing to contribute to the eradication of evil spirits!"

"Amitabha, since everyone from various families is here, I am willing to distribute this formation diagram to everyone, so that everyone can study it as soon as possible."

In front of Su Ping and the representatives of other prestigious families, the monk explained the formation diagram and took out one after another from his storage bag.

Su Ping also received a formation diagram. He gently touched it and felt that it should be made of some kind of spiritual plant, which made him realize that Xiaojinguang Temple was quite wealthy.

This was going to be distributed to the prestigious families in the mortal world, and the quantity would definitely not be small!

Even the Immortal Gate's bookstore, which sold books that could collect spiritual stones, didn't use this kind of parchment.

After the monk finished distributing the formation diagrams, he once again said "Amitabha" and continued, "The Vajra Demon Subduing Formation is simple and easy to understand, and the quality of the required materials is also very low. It is the work of a high monk who has achieved enlightenment."

"However, the faith used in this formation needs to be clear in the minds of the believers. Their sincere prayers are for the purpose of eradicating the evil spirits in the artifacts!"

"The more devout the believers' faith, the better the effect of eradicating."

"That's why we often hold ceremonies and arrange so many seemingly extravagant things, all to strengthen the devout faith of the believers."

"Otherwise, this formation will not work."

"Does it only work when the direction is clear? That's normal. Even the famous Ten Directions Sect has never heard of a technique that can use chaotic faith."

Upon hearing this, several representatives of prestigious families nodded repeatedly to show their understanding.

If mortal faith could be easily manipulated, this realm wouldn't even lack a major sect of a religious cult.

Both Xiaojinguang Temple and the Ten Directions Sect only used the power of faith as an auxiliary. The higher-ups relied on their own talents, cultivation, and sect accumulation.

Su Ping took the formation diagram and returned to the Pot in the Heavenly Cave. After studying it for a while, he discovered that the formation diagram was indeed designed to be understood by scattered cultivators.

Even someone like him, who had the talent to understand formations at the level of a primary school student understanding advanced mathematics, could slowly comprehend it and understand the principles within.

This made Su Ping vaguely realize why the materials used for the formation diagram were so good. Perhaps it was some kind of secret technique from Xiaojinguang Temple that helped everyone understand, and it had to be carried by this kind of material.

"It would be great to use this secret technique for studying. I wonder if I can invite a few high monks from Xiaojinguang Temple to help in the future, as long as I am sincere enough, they shouldn't mind some small details, right?"

After understanding the formation diagram, Su Ping was filled with anticipation for the upcoming ceremony.

Following the steps of Xiaojinguang Temple, this large-scale ceremony only served as a psychological suggestion and belief guidance for the residents around Golden Sparrow City.

Afterwards, they will distribute a portion of the artifacts that seal evil spirits to the major clans, allowing these people to set up small-scale rituals in various locations to gradually erode the evil spirits.

There's no other way, there are simply too many evil spirits that have been sealed all along.

The time required to erode the evil spirits is also too long.

If it weren't for the outbreak of this evil energy tide, I'm afraid the major immortal sects would continue to choose sealing as the easier option.

Even the Little Golden Light Temple can't handle so many evil spirit quotas given to them from above. They must distribute them in order to receive more rewards.

As for the prestigious families in the mortal world, it's just a matter of making things a little more troublesome for their clan members and hired farmers during meal times. It's not considered much trouble when it comes to the merits that can be exchanged for cultivation resources.

Not to mention that it's the people below who bear the burden of this trouble, while the merits are taken on by the masters.

"Is this a competition to control the quantity and quality of the population of each family?"

After Su Ping understood, he looked at the formation diagram in his hand and had a little idea in his mind.

The merit list of the Great Golden Light Temple sounds like an extraordinary thing. Most of the spiritual objects that can be exchanged on it, Su Ping estimates, he has never even heard of.

Su Ping began to write a letter to acquaintances in the immortal sect, including that Cloud Steward.

If the method of exchanging merits on this merit list is as simple and easy to understand as the formation diagram... he might be able to make use of the followers from another world.

He believes that those followers who truly know that he is really slaying demons and eliminating evil will definitely feel grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Two days later.

A refreshing morning.

Accompanied by the warm sunlight shining on the city walls of the Golden Sparrow City.

Dong!

The ritual bell rang, the sound resounding through the venue, and even the city could clearly hear it.

Then, a dignified monk wearing luxurious robes and with a plump and prosperous appearance descended from the sky.

This was a Qi Refining stage perfection high monk!

Just by looking at him, Su Ping felt that the other party's aura was as profound as a mountain.

"This is the elder in charge of the storeroom of the Little Golden Light Temple. In order to hold a good ritual, almost all the high-level members of the Little Golden Light Temple have come out. The one presiding over it is said to have gone to the Golden Wind City because there are rumors of evil cultivators appearing there..."

Beside Su Ping, several cultivators from the immortal sect who had come to attend the ritual whispered, their voices small but not secretive.

Obviously, they were also deliberately reminding the surrounding mortal cultivators and wandering cultivators of the identity of the visitors, so that they wouldn't be disrespectful.

The high monk was in a hurry, and he still had to rush to at least five other venues by the end of the day.

So after chanting "Amitabha," he immediately got to the point and started reciting the Buddhist scriptures like a broadcast, pouring his voice into the ears of the attendees within a radius of ten li.

Even those who didn't read the Buddhist scriptures could understand after listening for a few minutes.

In order to eliminate the calamity brought by the evil spirits, they need to pray to the Buddha.

The Buddha is compassionate, and this prayer will definitely receive a response, thus eliminating the source of the calamity.

While listening, Su Ping memorized the scriptures of the high monk in his mind.

He had already figured it out. If there's a chance, he'll let the high monk from his hometown recite them as well.

It doesn't matter if he can't achieve a ten li transmission, there's a large-scale broadcast to help ensure a wider transmission.

It doesn't matter if the formation is not activated by spiritual energy, as the spirit stones can be used as temporary energy sources to activate the formation.

And the evil spirit artifacts can be obtained for free.

The remaining task is to see how to safely exchange these artifacts for merits, and then exchange the merits for spiritual objects.
