Chapter 121: Bow to Me As Your Master, Respect Me As Your Father
Big Senior Sister, I know we should be rushing to the Profound Saber Sect, but it is getting late. Why dont we rest here for a night? someone from the Bear Mountain Sword Sect proposed.
Quite a few people nodded in agreement.
Since they had driven off the Golden-eyed Demon Ape, they didnt want to give up on this cooling place only to stay at a sweltering inn. Besides, they had been rushing the road so far that they hadnt had an opportunity to rest up.
While the senior sister was hesitating, someone spoke up, You should stay here and rest for the day. We have enough tents here.
Fang Chen walked over and smiled at the senior sister and the other disciples of the Bear Mountain Sword Sect.
Big brother, there was a huge monkey just now! Fang Zhixue anxiously gestured with her hands, but she was unable to describe the massive physique of the Golden-eyed Demon Ape.
This is our young master, Xu Ge introduced to the senior sister.
Im Li Chen. Its a pleasure to meet you, Fang Chen clasped his fist and said.
Xu Ge and Fang Zhixues eyebrows shot up. They quickly clasped their fists and introduced themselves too.
Im Xu Ge.
Im Li Zhixue.
A few of the younger Fang Clansmen came over and introduced themselves too.
Li Dong here. Its my honor to meet you.
Hello, Im Li Mei.
Ah, so its the Li Clan, the senior sister thought. She clasped her fist too and said, Im Zhong Ying from the Bear Mountain Sword Sect. Its a pleasure to meet you too.
Miss Zhong has done us a huge favor by scaring away the massive ape on our behalf. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses today. Please feel free to stay the night here, Fang Chen said amicably.
Why are you speaking with closed eyes? one of the disciples asked.
Fang Chen opened his eyes, revealing his grayish-white eyes.
The disciples of the Bear Mountain Sword Sect were taken aback. He went blind at such a young age? How pitiful.
Zhong Ying glared at her junior brother. She wanted to reject the offer, but an aroma wafted in their direction just then. The Fang Clansmen had begun preparing dinner. She heard her juniors gulping down their saliva, so after some thought, she said, Ill be imposing on you then.
At night, many of the younger Fang Clansmen gathered around the campfire to listen to stories about the pugilistic world from the Bear Mountain Sword Sects disciples. Excited claps could be heard every now and then.
Fang Zhixue was oddly immersed in those stories.
The Golden-eyed Demon Ape replied with a hushed tone, Lord Immortal, many beasts here accumulate spirit ki from drinking from the spirit spring over a long period of time, but most of them never become enlightened, and they dont live for long either. Other than being stronger than normal beasts, they are nothing like us.
You looked like you were going to kill when you came to the spirit spring earlier, Fang Chen pointed out with a smile.
Lord Immortal, I only wanted to scare them away. Its about to reach nightfall. The dumber beasts might go after those humans if they continued lingering here, the Golden-eyed Demon Ape replied.
Interesting. Fang Chen nodded with a smile. You didnt inherit a legacy, but you became faes just from drinking from the spirit spring. Your talent is noteworthy among your kind. I intend to construct my base here, and I need guards. Are you willing to take me as your master?
The three faes were taken aback. He intends to take us in as his disciples?
The Golden-eyed Demon Ape howled in excitement. The youths who were chatting at the foot of the mountain shuddered and looked toward the mountain.
Big Senior Sister, will those faes come after us again? one of the Bear Mountain Sword Sects disciples asked in uncertainty.
I dont think so Zhong Ying murmured in reply. If those faes wanted to kill us, they would have long done so I guess they are really intimidated by our Bear Mountain Sword Sect?
Paying respect to master!
The three faes kneeled before Fang Chen. They would have been delighted if the latter took them in as servants, but who could have thought that they would actually have the privilege to become the other partys disciples?
It was way better to be an immortals disciples than to be fae servants. This meant that they would receive a proper cultivation legacy in the future!
It was hard to be initiated into the path of immortality, be it for mortals or faes.
Why dont I bestow you with a dharma name? Fang Chen suggested.
Yes, master!
The three faes were excited once more.
Fang Chen pointed to the Golden-eyed Demon Ape with nostalgic eyes and said, You shall be known as the Victorious Buddha from this day onward. Should you become an immortal, you will take on the name Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Victorious Buddha? Victorious Fighting Buddha? the Golden-eyed Demon Ape mumbled the name before its body trembled in excitement.
Even Big Cat and Little Snake could tell that it was an incredible dharma name. It made them look forward to their dharma names.
Starves trivia
Its common for monks to receive a dharma name when they renounce secularism and devote themselves to pursuing enlightenment. It is similar in this case too.
