Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15867

Chapter 15865: The Envoy’s Mission

A flash of white light, and Yuanming, leading fifty disciples of the Prajna Temple, appeared at a teleportation array. Outside the array stood several cultivators, but these cultivators looked rather strange. They all had red hair, and their hair was also very peculiar, growing upwards like burning flames.

They all wore orange clothes, making them look very vibrant, like a dancing flame.

Yuanming didn’t look at their hair, nor did he pay attention to their clothes. He knew that this was the standard uniform of the Fire God Sect, and that hair was the symbol of the Fire God Sect. Their hair might not have originally looked like that, but because they practiced the Fire God Sect’s techniques, their hair had become like that. It would be impolite for him to stare at their hair.

At this moment, a member of the Fire God Sect stepped forward and bowed to Yuanming, saying, “Elder Zheng Qinzong of the Fire God Sect’s External Affairs Hall greets Master Yuanming.”

Yuanming quickly returned the bow and then said to Zheng Qinzong, “Amitabha, you are too kind, benefactor. I apologize for keeping you waiting.”

Zheng Qinzong smiled and said, “Master, you are too kind. It is an honor for our Fire God Sect that you have come. Please, Master.” He then gestured for Yuanming to enter, and Yuanming returned the bow before walking into the Fire God Sect with Zheng Qinzong.

The terrain of the Fire God Sect was quite unique. High mountains could be seen everywhere, and many of them had black smoke rising from them, indicating that they were all active volcanoes. The

temperature on the Fire God Sect continent was also very high, but fortunately, they were all cultivators who were impervious to heat and cold, so they didn’t have to worry about being too hot.

Their group soon arrived at a large courtyard. Zheng Qinzong said to Yuanming, “Master, please rest here for a while. Tonight, our headmaster will host a banquet to welcome you.”

Yuanming immediately smiled and said, “Your Excellency is too kind. This humble monk will certainly attend the banquet on time.”

Zheng Qinzong smiled slightly, ushered Yuanming and his companions into the courtyard, and arranged for disciples to serve them before leaving.

Yuanming summoned an elder from the Prajna Temple and said to him, “Assign rooms to everyone. See if there are enough rooms. If not, let everyone squeeze in.” The elder responded and immediately went to arrange rooms for everyone.

The rooms were quickly arranged, and Yuanming returned to his room to rest. Although he wasn’t tired, he needed to be well-rested for the banquet that evening.

In the larger courtyard, Zheng Qinzong was reporting the situation of Yuanming and his group to a tall cultivator. After listening to his report, the cultivator immediately said, “Very good. Is everything in the courtyard arranged? Remember, I need to know every word they say.”

Zheng Qinzong replied, “Reporting to the Hall Master, everything has been arranged. However, if they really don’t want us to know, they might use a soundproof array. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing we can do.”

“Then it’s not your fault. What I’m saying is, if they don’t use a soundproof array, then I need to know every word they say. This time, the people from Prajna Temple have come rather strangely. I still can’t figure out what they want to do. But no matter what, we must receive them well. Although our two regions don’t have any relationship, there’s no need to offend them. We need to know what they’re here for before we make any plans.”

“Yes, please rest assured, Hall Master, I will arrange everything.”

“Good, you may leave.”

“Yes, Hall Master.” After Zheng Qinzong finished speaking, he bowed to the Hall Master and then left the room.

This man was Zheng Heng, the head of the External Affairs Hall of the Fire God Sect. Zheng was a common surname in the Fire God Sect. Although the two men shared the same surname, they were actually unrelated, merely sharing the same surname.

Long before the Prajna Temple sent their visiting card to the Fire God Sect, the sect had already made preparations. The courtyard where Yuanming and his group stayed was filled with various surveillance arrays, meaning their every move was under the Fire God Sect’s watchful eyes and ears.

In fact, the Fire God Sect’s preparations weren’t because they had any grudge against the Prajna Temple and wanted to be constantly on guard. They had no connection whatsoever with the Prajna Temple, not even a nodding acquaintance. It was precisely because of this that the sect was so cautious when the Prajna Temple suddenly announced their arrival. They genuinely didn’t know why the Prajna Temple wanted to come.

Because of the unknown, they felt fear, hence their extensive preparations.

However, the Vulcan Sect disciples who were monitoring Yuanming and his group were probably going crazy today. Since they moved into that courtyard, they had rarely spoken; aside from the occasional chanting of scriptures, they heard very little. This greatly surprised them, and they wondered what the Vulcan Sect disciples were up to.

Time passed slowly, and soon it grew dark. The Vulcan Sect disciples invited Yuanming and his group to a banquet, which Yuanming immediately accepted. He led his disciples directly to the banquet.

This was their first day at the Fire God Sect, and the sect was very accommodating, inviting them all to their first banquet.

When Yuanming and the others arrived at the banquet hall, they found a group of people standing at the entrance. The leader was a tall cultivator with a head of spiky red hair that made him appear even taller, making him look like a giant. Zheng Qinzong stood beside him.

This person was none other than Zheng Heng. Zheng Heng glanced at Yuanming and the others, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yuanming and said with a smile, “Master Yuanming, I am Zheng Heng, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Fire God Sect. Greetings.”

Yuanming immediately returned the salute and said, “Amitabha, greetings, Head Zheng. This humble monk greets you.”

Zheng Heng smiled and said, “Master, you are too kind. It is truly an honor for our Fire God Sect that you have come on behalf of the Prajna Temple. This also signifies that the relationship between our two sects has taken a significant step forward. Today is definitely a historically significant day. We have prepared a small feast, please come in, Master.”

Yuanming immediately smiled and said, “My Prajna Temple has always been benevolent. This time, we are only here to improve the relationship between our two sects. We hope that there will be more cooperation between our two sects in the future.”

“Hahahaha, it certainly will be. Please come in, Master.” Zheng Heng smiled and invited Master Yuanming into the main hall. Inside the main hall, numerous small tables had been set up, behind which were prayer cushions. There were over a hundred such tables throughout the hall. Zheng Heng invited Yuanming and his companions to sit down, and the other members of the Fire God Sect followed suit.

Once everyone was seated, Zheng Heng waved his hand, and several female cultivators filed in, each carrying a tray laden with wine and food. They immediately went to Yuanming’s table, placed the food and wine on their trays, and then withdrew. After

the female cultivators left, Zheng Heng raised his wine cup to Yuanming and said, “Master Yuanming, you have traveled a long way and have had a long journey. Our Fire God Sect has only prepared some simple wine; it is of little importance. Please, Master, drink this cup with me.” Although Yuanming was a monk

, they also drank alcohol and ate meat. They were Buddhist cultivators, not monks on Earth, and were not bound by as many strict rules and regulations, so he was permitted to drink alcohol.

Yuanming also raised his wine cup and said to Zheng Heng, “Master Zheng, you are too kind. It is my honor to be here on a mission to the Fire God Sect. Come, let us drink this cup together.” After saying that, he and Zheng Heng drank the wine in their cups at the same time.

Meanwhile, everyone else drank a cup with him. After Zheng Heng put down his cup, he turned to Yuanming and said, “Our two sects have had too little contact all this time. We are all very happy that you, Master, have come to our sect today. We hope that our two sects can have more exchanges in the future and take our relationship to the next level.”

“Of course,” Yuanming replied, “this humble monk has come here this time to further promote the relationship between our two sects. There will definitely be more exchanges between our two sects in the future.”

These words seemed like polite remarks, but both sides had a deeper meaning. Their intentions were quite simple: Zheng Heng hoped that Prajna Temple’s visit was genuinely to establish a friendship with them, and Yuanming had assured him that they had come to make friends and had no ill intentions, reassuring Zheng Heng.

Hearing Yuanming’s words, Zheng Heng felt somewhat relieved. As long as they weren’t coming with hostility, it would be easier for them to deal with them.

After understanding each other’s meaning, the two were relieved. During the subsequent banquet, they didn’t discuss anything too substantial, but rather probed each other. Zheng Heng, through these probes, realized that Yuanming had genuinely come with sincerity to establish a friendship, and Yuanming understood that the Fire God Sect had no aversion to befriending their Prajna Temple. Both sides were pleased; achieving this level of cooperation on the first day was already quite good. If they wanted to discuss more specific matters, they could wait until tomorrow; they couldn’t talk too much today.

The banquet was very successful, lasting until midnight before ending. The disciples of Prajna Temple all returned to their rooms to rest early.

The next morning, the disciples of Prajna Temple all got up early for their morning prayers. Then, people from the Fire God Sect brought them breakfast. After breakfast, Zheng Heng invited Yuanming to his office.

Yuanming was accompanied by only two elders, who followed him to Zheng Heng’s office. Zheng Heng was already waiting for them outside. Upon seeing them, Zheng Heng immediately stepped forward and bowed to Yuanming, saying, “Master has arrived! Please come in.” Yuanming returned the bow and said,

“You’re too kind, Hall Master Zheng. Please.” The two then entered Zheng Heng’s office.

Zheng Heng’s office was very large, over two hundred square meters. It was divided into two areas by bookshelves. The outer area was clearly for receiving guests, furnished with several armchairs and small, empty tables in the center. The floor

was made of wood, slightly reddish in color, and had a faint, pleasant fragrance. The scent was gentle and not overpowering. Both the chairs and the small tables were made of this reddish wood, giving the room a rustic yet grand feel.
