Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15935
15933. Chapter 15933 Stone Buddha Temple
Temple. Stone Buddha Temple is a physical cultivation sect, and also a Buddhist sect. All its disciples are monks. Stone Buddha Temple and Qinglan Sect are not in the same area. Stone Buddha Temple is the strongest sect in their region, so all those who can become disciples of Stone Buddha Temple are geniuses, even an outer disciple. Shi
Yongyan is an outer disciple of Stone Buddha Temple. Shi Yongyan is his Dharma name; he no longer uses his real name because once you become an outer disciple of Stone Buddha Temple, you are a monk for life, so you can’t use your secular name.
Shi Yongyan sat in his room, his head on the ground, his legs stretched straight up to the sky, and his hands clasped together in front of his chest. If his head wasn’t on the ground, he would look like an ordinary monk standing upright with his hands clasped together.
But now he was on the ground with his head on the ground, and there was a clear dent on the top of his head, indicating that he was practicing. After a while, Shi Yongyan rolled over and stood up.
He let out a long breath, glanced around, and then muttered, “Almost there. Why is it always just a little bit short?” The Stone Buddha Temple focused solely on physical cultivation. Only when the body reached a certain level could one proceed to the next step. He was currently only missing the area above his head; it hadn’t met the requirements yet. Once
that area reached the required level, he could become a master of the Qi level. However, he had been practicing on that area for months without success, which greatly frustrated him. But he didn’t have a good solution. Physical cultivation was inherently slower than that of ordinary cultivators, and his anxiety was useless.
Shi Yongyan stood in the room for a while before heading outside. Soon he was outside, in the main hall of the Stone Buddha Hall, the largest complex on the Stone Buddha Continent. However, Shi Yongyan was an outer disciple of the Stone Buddha Temple, so their quarters were located on the outer perimeter of the complex.
Each of Shi Yongyan and his companions had a small room, and ten people shared a courtyard. When Shi Yongyan came out of his room, he saw two people sitting in the courtyard. Shi Yongyan immediately bowed to them, saying, “Greetings, Senior Brothers.”
The two men smiled and returned the bow. One of them asked, “Junior Brother Yongyan, have you just finished your cultivation? How do you feel?”
Shi Yongyan shook his head and said, “Still a little bit short.”
The monk smiled and said, “Don’t rush. Take your time to refine it, and you’ll be finished soon. You’re only sixteen this year, there’s no need to rush.”
Shi Yongyan replied, “Yes, Senior Brother.”
The monk nodded, and then Shi Yongyan left. After Yongyan left, another person looked at him with some confusion and asked, “Senior brother, do you really think so highly of him?”
The monk smiled and said, “Of course! Junior Brother Yongyan is only sixteen years old and he’s already about to reach the Shi level. Although he’s been stuck at this final step for a few months, with his talent, he’ll soon reach the Shi level. When he reaches the Shi level at sixteen, it will definitely attract the sect’s attention. His future is limitless.”
The other monk nodded without speaking, but his eyes were full of envy. His talent was no match for Shi Yongyan’s. He was already twenty years old and hadn’t reached the Master level yet. His talent was far inferior to Shi Yongyan’s.
Meanwhile, Shi Yongyan arrived at the outer sect’s library. In the outer sect of Shifo Temple, there were two places where outer sect disciples could read books. One place was called the library, which contained books about martial arts and strange tales, not cultivation techniques. Therefore, it was open to all outer sect disciples and free of charge.
The other place, called the Sutra Repository, contains the martial arts manuals of the Stone Buddha Temple, and it’s an entrance fee area. Shi Yongyan has a habit of reading books about strange tales and unusual events. These books allow him to see a different world, so he often comes to the Sutra Repository to read when he has free time.
Shi Yongyan arrived at the library and wandered around. He had seen many of the books, and of course, there were many more he hadn’t. However, some books had similar content, which he usually didn’t bother with. He wanted to see something different. He continued browsing
between the bookshelves until he stopped in front of one. He saw a book with a white cover, seemingly unremarkable, but Shi Yongyan had a feeling that the book was calling to him. Curious, he pulled it out and glanced at the cover. On the cover was a single word: “Lazy!”
Upon seeing this word, Shi Yongyan was stunned. What kind of book was this? Why was there only one word on it? Curious, he opened the book. On the first page, he saw a person lying on a bed, covered by a blanket. The drawing was excellent, depicting the person’s disheveled appearance, even showing a few blades of grass growing on the blanket. The person seemed completely oblivious, fast asleep. This sight made Shi Yongyan chuckle, but it only fueled his curiosity further.
He examined the picture closely, then turned to the second page. On that page was the single character “懒” (lazy). The entire page contained only this one character, yet it seemed to possess a magical power, instantly captivating Shi Yongyan. He stood there motionless, staring intently at the character for a long while before finally letting out a sigh. He then turned the pages again, only to find the subsequent pages completely blank.
Shi Yongyan was taken aback. Could it be that what he was looking at wasn’t actually a book, but a notebook someone had unintentionally left there? If that were the case, then this person’s notebook was quite unique and interesting. Shi Yongyan smiled
slightly, put the notebook back on the bookshelf, then found another book, took it to a chair outside, and sat down to read. After reading for a while, he put the book back in its original place, then left the library and returned to his courtyard. This time, his courtyard was empty, and Shi Yongyan went back to his room.
In the past, he would have immediately started cultivating upon returning to his room, but for some reason, he felt lazy today and didn’t want to cultivate at all; he couldn’t even muster the slightest bit of energy.
Sometimes people are like this. If you still have energy, even if your body is very tired, you can still work. But if a person loses their energy, it’s completely different. You don’t want to do anything; you just want to lie down, and you might even feel completely drained. This feeling is truly hard to describe in words.
Shi Yongyan felt exactly like that; he felt utterly drained of energy. He couldn’t muster any strength for cultivation at all, and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.
Not long after falling asleep, Shi Yongyan suddenly found himself in a peculiar space. This space was a vast expanse of white, containing only a bed. On that bed lay a person, covered by a tattered blanket with a few blades of grass growing on it. The person was disheveled, yet exuded a sense of contentment, fast asleep.
Shi Yongyan looked at the person and felt a strong sense of familiarity. Then he remembered—wasn’t this the special portrait from the special notebook he’d seen earlier that day? This piqued his interest, and he wanted to approach and tease the person, but then he stopped. He thought it was pointless; what was the point of teasing that person? He’d rather sleep for a while.
Shi Yongyan didn’t know why he had such thoughts, but he actually did it. He lay down on the ground and soon fell into a deep sleep. He didn’t even think about why he was sleeping again when he was clearly sleeping. Was he dreaming? Was he still sleeping in his dream?
Shi Yongyan didn’t think about these things at all; perhaps he was just too lazy to think about them. He just wanted to sleep. He didn’t know how much time had passed when he suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes, looked around, and found that he wasn’t in that space, but in his own room.
Shi Yongyan let out a long breath. Although his body was still drowsy, he still got up and straightened his clothes. He didn’t know what was wrong with him yesterday; why he was so sleepy. But this sleep was really comfortable. After straightening his clothes, Shi Yongyan went straight out to the training room. Looking at the dent in the training room floor, he took a deep breath and then did a handstand again.
However, as soon as he stood upside down, he let out a surprised exclamation. He then stood up, touched his head, and discovered that the part he couldn’t seem to master before was now complete. How could this be? He hadn’t mastered it yesterday, and hadn’t practiced it since. Why had he suddenly succeeded? What was going on? They were body cultivators, and body cultivators were different from ordinary cultivators. Body cultivators almost never had sudden enlightenment. Other cultivators might advance to a higher realm with a single moment of enlightenment, but body cultivators didn’t have that. To reach the next realm, they had to cultivate step by step. Only when their skill was sufficient would their realm naturally advance.
But he hadn’t mastered it yesterday, and today he had inexplicably mastered it. This wasn’t right, this was very wrong. What was going on?
Shi Yongyan pondered for a long time but couldn’t come up with a solution, so he gave up and headed straight for the door. The rules of Shifo Temple were very strict. Since his strength had reached a certain level, he had to report it to the sect. Otherwise, if the sect found out, he would be punished. Therefore, Shi Yongyan needed to report to the sect and let everyone know that his strength had increased by one level; he had now reached the White Stone Realm.
In Shifo Temple, individual levels were determined by color: White Stone was equivalent to the Power Level, Green Stone to the Throne Level, Yellow Stone to the Imperial Carriage Level, Orange Stone to the Royal Palace Level, Red Stone to the Royal City Level, and Black Stone to the Kingdom Level.
