Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15936

Chapter 15934 Laziness

Of course, this kind of ranking system only applies within the Stone Buddha Temple. Even many disciples of the Stone Buddha Temple use this ranking system, using terms like “Power Level” and “Throne Level” for classification. Shi Yongyan is currently a Power Level cultivator.

Shi Yongyan quickly arrived at the place in the Stone Buddha Temple that manages the outer disciples, called the Arhat Hall. All the outer disciples of the Stone Buddha Temple are under the jurisdiction of the Arhat Hall, and Shi Yongyan went there.

The outer Arhat Hall covers a large area, a large courtyard. In the Stone Buddha Temple, there are almost no tall buildings. The tallest building is the pagoda of the Sutra Repository. Most of the other buildings are only one story, and even two stories are rare. The Arhat Hall is the same; all the buildings here are one story. However, in this large courtyard, there are several rows of houses divided into countless rooms. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a main hall, which is where all the disciples go to receive missions. Shi Yongyan was not here to receive missions this time, so of course he would not go to the main hall. Instead, he walked to a room next to it.

He quickly arrived at the room. The door was open, and Shi Yongyan went straight in. Upon entering, he saw several Buddhist monks, all seated on prayer cushions. In front of them was a low desk, just the right height for them to write. The monks were all busy writing.

Shi Yongyan walked directly to one of the monks. The monk looked up at Shi Yongyan and asked, “Junior Brother Yongyan, is there something you need?” Shi Yongyan was somewhat of a local celebrity outside their Stone Buddha Temple, so the monk recognized him immediately because of his talent. Shi Yongyan nodded and

said, “Yes, Senior Brother. I’m here to register. I’ve already reached the White Stone Realm.” As

soon as he spoke, everyone in the room looked at him. They knew Shi Yongyan’s age; he was only sixteen years old. Reaching the White Stone Realm at sixteen was definitely the mark of a genius.

In other sects, it’s not uncommon for someone to reach the White Stone Realm at sixteen, and even those sects wouldn’t be too surprised. But don’t forget, this is the Stone Buddha Temple, a body cultivation sect. For someone from a body cultivation sect to reach the White Stone Realm at sixteen is truly remarkable. Body cultivation isn’t just about talent; diligence is also crucial. If you only have talent but lack diligence, you’ll never reach the White Stone Realm at sixteen. To reach it at such a young age requires not only talent but also immense hard work.

The disciple who spoke to Shi Yongyan stared at him in astonishment. After carefully examining him, he asked, “Junior Brother, could you demonstrate?”

Shi Yongyan responded, and the next moment, his skin turned grayish-white, like stone. This is a characteristic of the Stone Buddha Temple and the origin of their name; after mastering their cultivation techniques, their skin becomes like stone, with stone-like textures.

The disciple who registered Shi Yongyan glanced at the top of Shi Yongyan’s head. This was a characteristic of the cultivation methods at Shifo Temple; with each level of cultivation, the color of their skin would change. Generally, at the final stage of a realm, only the color of the top of their head would remain unchanged. Therefore, to see if a disciple’s Emperor Power had reached a certain level, you only needed to look at the top of their head. If the color of their head had changed, it meant that they had truly reached that realm.

After discovering that the color of Shi Yongyan’s head matched the color of his body, he nodded and said, “Indeed, you have reached the White Stone Realm. Good, good! Congratulations, Junior Brother.” He then bowed respectfully to Shi Yongyan.

Shi Yongyan returned the greeting and said with a smile, “Senior brother, you’re too kind.”

The monk smiled and said, “Junior brother, no need to be so polite. I’ll register you now.” He then began registering Shi Yongyan. After completing the registration, the monk said to Shi Yongyan, “Alright, registration is finished.”

Shi Yongyan nodded, bowed to the monk with his hands clasped in a gesture of respect, then stood up and turned to leave.

After Shi Yongyan left, the monk who had registered him couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Amazing! Who would have thought? Sixteen years old, and already at the White Stone Realm! So impressive!”

The others all nodded in agreement, sighing in admiration, before returning to their work. They didn’t report Shi Yongyan’s breakthrough. They were already the strongest sect in this area, and it was normal for them to occasionally produce a few genius disciples. It depended on Shi Yongyan’s future development. If he reached the ninth level of the White Stone Realm in a short period of time, then it would be reported to the higher-ups; otherwise, it wouldn’t be reported.

At Shifo Temple, you’ve reached a certain level, but that’s only the first step. The first step is for your entire body to become one color. The second step is to continue cultivating and add another layer to that color, like another layer of skin forming on top of your skin, or another layer of armor forming on top of your armor.

Normally, a realm has nine levels, but at Shifo Temple, each level refers to adding an extra layer of skin-like substance. A color needs nine levels to be considered complete.

Shi Yongyan has only just reached the White Stone Realm and still needs to cultivate nine more layers of White Stone. However, Shi Yongyan isn’t in a hurry. He doesn’t know why, but lately he’s been feeling listless and sleepy. He doesn’t walk too fast because he’s too lazy to move. If possible, he really wanted to lie down and sleep right now, but he knows that’s not possible; he has to get back to his room.

Shi Yongyan finally returns to his room. As soon as he gets back, he goes straight to his bedroom, doesn’t even take off his clothes and shoes, and falls asleep on the bed.

After falling asleep, he returns to that space. He sees the strange man and the bed again. Although he doesn’t know what’s going on, he lies down and goes back to sleep. While he sleeps, many things appear in his mind. Even though he’s asleep, he can clearly understand what those things are.

It was a letter from someone called the God of Sloth. The letter said that he had become a follower of the God of Sloth after seeing his book. As a follower, he didn’t need to do anything; he only needed to sleep. While he slept, his strength would increase, and this was how he broke through to the White Stone Realm.

As for why the book only contained a picture and the character “lazy,” with no other content, it was simply because the God of Sloth was too lazy to write more. The book was reserved for those with a destined connection.

Although he knew all this, Shi Yongyan didn’t want to get up or do anything. He just wanted to sleep, so he remained hidden there, motionless.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before he woke up. Upon waking, he found his room covered in a thick layer of dust, which startled him. He didn’t know how long he had slept; judging from the thickness of the dust, it had been several days.

Shi Yongyan sat up and touched his head, noticing that his hair had grown back quite a bit. Judging from the length of his hair, he had slept for seven days, which surprised him.

However, he soon discovered something else: his strength had actually reached the first level of the White Stone Realm, and a complete first level at that! In other words, he had reached the first level of the White Stone Realm after just one night’s sleep—this was incredibly unexpected.

Shi Yongyan then remembered the extra things that had appeared in his head. He was now certain that everything in his head was real, and he was overjoyed. However, after thinking for a moment, he looked around the room, then opened his mouth, yawned, and with a flick of his hand, a pill appeared in his hand. He immediately put the pill in his mouth. It wasn’t any special pill; it was just a fasting pill. After taking the fasting pill, Shi Yongyan lay back down on the bed and fell fast asleep again. He probably wouldn’t have woken up earlier if he hadn’t been afraid of starving to death.

While Shi Yongyan was fast asleep, several disciples at the Stone Buddha Temple saw the “Lazy Book” and, like Shi Yongyan, became increasingly lazy, yet their strength increased rapidly.

Shi Yongyan slept for another ten days before waking. He checked his body and found nothing wrong; in fact, his strength had already reached more than half of the second level of the White Stone Realm, and he would likely reach the third level soon.

This time, Shi Yongyan didn’t even feel happy. He ate another Bigu Pill and then fell asleep again. Another ten days passed, and he woke up once more. This time, he didn’t even bother to check his strength; he ate another Bigu Pill and then fell asleep again.

Shi Yongyan continued sleeping in his room. Those in his courtyard hadn’t seen him for a long time, but this wasn’t strange to them. After all, it was normal for a cultivator to go into seclusion for months or even years. So, not seeing Shi Yongyan was normal. He hadn’t died; if he had, the sect would have sent people to investigate long ago. The fact that the sect hadn’t investigated meant Shi Yongyan was alright. Perhaps he was in seclusion, or perhaps he had come out while they were cultivating, and they didn’t know. This was also normal, so no one worried about Shi Yongyan’s safety. Several months passed like this.

This time, Shi Yongyan woke up again. He looked completely different from before. His clothes were wrinkled, the blankets were covered in a layer of dust, and the room was covered in a thick layer of dust, as if it hadn’t been lived in for many years. His face was also covered in dust, and his hair was long and messy. He looked very much like the picture in the “Lazy Book” he had seen before.
