This was the first time Lin Fan was practicing his swordsmanship since receiving the wuxia major class of knowledge.
In this regard, even if he were to practice an ordinary sword move, the power would be extraordinary.
“The unbounded gives life to the absolute, the absolute gives life to yin and yang, yin and yang give life to the four divisions, the four divisions give life to the eight trigrams…” In order to let the ‘Silent Priest’ see his own ability, Lin Fan immediately chanted a profound saying.
The other disciples didn’t understand it and couldn’t visualize it. However, they felt that this youngster in front of them was really powerful. They even felt like the swordsmanship skills of this youngster were even better than their mentor.
The ‘Silent Priest’ had abundant knowledge and was powerful in terms of the Taoist Realm. He could tell that the swordsmanship skills were extraordinary and he even felt like it had reached the peak of Taoist swordsmanship.
He was already very impressed with this youngster for having an extraordinary talent at such a young age. It was really unbelievable.
Even if he were to train for over ten years, he still could not be compared to him.
However, he felt as if there was something amiss. It felt that there was something evil.
After a short while, Lin Fan stopped wielding the sword. Although he had already kept the sword, the influence of the sword was still really powerful. If it were to be described, it could be said that the power of the sword was too strong and it created a powerful atmosphere.
“Priest, how was that?” Lin Fan smiled. The way most experts communicated was to show each other their skills.
He felt that his relationship with the priest was going to move up to another level.
The priest took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. It wasn’t because he was mute. He was trying to channel the Taoist Mind Concentration Power. However, he felt that he was going to fail soon.
In the end, he managed to control it. He smiled and nodded.
However, what Lin Fan said next shocked the ‘Silent Priest’.
“Priest, the absolute gives life to yin and yang. I know the yin and yang swordsmanship skills and the four division swordsmanship skills. As for the eight trigram swordsmanship skills, it has a lot to do with my Ba Gua Zhang. If you’re interested, we can exchange our knowledge and skills…” Lin Fan smiled and didn’t show any signs of holding back his capabilities.
He couldn’t stay there for too long and he wanted to quickly convince the priest.
The fastest way he could do that was to convince him with his skills and create a good platform to communicate with him.
Others may not have understood what was going on. However, Lin Fan knew that the capabilities of the ‘Silent Priest’ were shockingly powerful. He was probably the most powerful person Lin Fan had ever seen in his life.
In the eyes of average people, he would be considered a spiritual expert.
“Heh heh!”
The ‘Silent Priest’ chuckled. He was laughing on the outside but not on the inside. If he could speak, he would definitely be roaring in rage.
What is he trying to do? Is he trying to say that he’s better than me?
Perhaps it was true that competition could really drive people crazy.
The ‘Silent Priest’ didn’t know what to say anymore.
The young Taoist priest beside them sighed helplessly. This godlike mentor in his eyes had been under pressure since yesterday. It was a terribly depressing moment.
He wanted to help his mentor get out of this situation but he didn’t know how.
There was still time before the arrival of the tourists.
In the meantime, there was no other way for his mentor to escape this. He had to endure this for the time being.
Outside the Taoist temple.
A bunch of tourists had arrived at the foot of the mountain of the Wuxiang Taoist Temple. It was pitch-black and the tourists stared at each other in confusion. What’s going on? Are they filming a movie?
Then, a solemn-looking middle-aged man was pushing a wheelchair. He looked at the person on the wheelchair and the person also stared at him helplessly.
The person on the wheelchair was his daughter, Mu Hui Min. Initially, she hadn’t been like this. However, she had contracted a bizarre disease and become mentally retarded. Furthermore, her body couldn’t really move anymore.
They had been to a lot of major hospitals, even those overseas. However, they couldn’t diagnose her illness. It was an illness that hadn’t been seen before.
There was another middle-aged lady next to them. She was Mu Hui Min’s mother. Seeing her daughter become like this pained her very much.
“Director Mu, this is the Wuxiang Taoist Temple. The ‘Silent Priest’ is at the top of the mountain. I believe that, with his medical skills, he will be able to treat her illness,” a man said.
He was a high-ranking official of the Mu Family Corporation. Furthermore, his old flat was near the Wuxiang Taoist temple. As he hadn’t returned to his old flat in a long time, he hadn’t known that the ‘Silent Priest’ existed here.
He had returned back from Sichuan to his old flat once to pray to the ancestors. He found out about the Wuxiang Taoist temple and asked people about it. He hadn’t expected there to be such a powerful elderly priest in the Wuxiang Taoist Temple and he had been curious about it since then.
Of course, he was just curious about it and he wasn’t really interested in looking for him.
However, the daughter of the Director of the Mu Family Corporation had suddenly contracted a bizarre disease. She had seen a lot of famous doctors but nobody was able to treat her illness.
After a period of time, he suggested her to visit the Wuxiang Taoist temple near his old flat as there was an elderly priest with incredible medical skills that might be able to help her.
At the same time, Director Mu had already run out of ideas and he decided to give it a go.
Mu Dao Xiong nodded. “I can only leave it to fate. I hope it’ll be useful.”
He was an atheist and he only believed in science. He didn’t really believe in these self-proclaimed powerful priests. However, he didn’t have any other choice now and he decided to give it a try.
Before the flight of steps.
Mu Dao Xiong carried his daughter and started to walk up tirelessly.
When they reached the Taoist temple.
Mu Dao Xiong helped his daughter back into the wheelchair and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Then, a young priest walked past them and saw them. He went forward.
“Hi, may I know if there’s anything we can help you with?”
Mu Dao Xiong asked, “Priest, may I know if the ‘Silent Priest’ is around?”
“Our mentor is here. However, he is in the mountains practicing his swordsmanship. May I know what is it?” the young priest asked. Although there were a lot of people that looked for his mentor daily, it was the first time someone had looked for him at such an early hour. After all, the people that usually visited him knew the opening hours of the Taoist temple.
“This is my daughter. She contracted a bizarre disease. I would like the ‘Silent Priest’ to take a look at her.” Mu Dao Xiong sounded a little anxious because if he couldn’t help her, that would mean that there was nobody that could cure her.
Mu Hui Min’s mother immediately went forward and asked anxiously, “Please help my daughter. Please get the ‘Silent Priest’ to save her.”
The young priest nodded. “Please hold on. I will ask my mentor about it. You can wait in the temple.”
“Thank you,” Mu Dao Xiong said.
When the young priest left, the high-ranking official said, “Director Mu, don’t worry. The ‘Silent Priest’ is really powerful. He will definitely be able to treat her.”
He had been working for Director Mu for more than ten years and had seen his daughter throughout her life until she contracted the disease. He was really anxious about it too after hearing about what had happened.
He really hoped that the ‘Silent Priest’ could create some sort of miracle.
“Sigh, I hope so.” Mu Dao Xiong nodded. He wasn’t very hopeful as he typically wouldn’t believe in such things.
However, what else could he do besides believing in it now?
