Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 351
Chapter 351 Jiang Li and the Pure Heart Saintess’s Acquaintance
. Jiang Li also looked at Bai Hongtu with a strange look
. The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart looked at Bai Hongtu with a strange look.
Bai Hongtu swore that he was really doing his best to help the Holy Maiden
of Pure Heart pursue Jiang Li. Bai Hongtu’s professionalism told him that in order to write a love letter that is realistic and touching, there must be feelings from the heart.
He put himself in the perspective of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart and wrote corny sentences. Who would have thought that he was careless at the last moment of writing the love letter and deviated from the perspective of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart and turned to himself again.
This is why the love letter was signed by Bai Hongtu.
Bai Hongtu couldn’t say that he bought an annual card in the Hehuan Sect to prove that his sexual orientation was normal.
He still had to save face.
Jiang Li knew that this was another mistake made by Bai Hongtu without Bai Hongtu saying it.
Jiang Li earnestly warned the Pure Heart Saint, “You weren’t very smart to begin with, and now you’re listening to Bai Hongtu. Isn’t that making matters worse?”
It sounded like Jiang Li was doing this for her own good, but the Pure Heart Saint couldn’t be happy.
Why am I so stupid? Even with a weak mind, I couldn’t have stood out from the crowd of disciples in the Red Dust Pure
Land and become a Saint. This clearly proves she’s the smartest person in the Red Dust Pure Land!
“It’s not that you lack knowledge, but that you don’t understand the dangers of the world.”
“Don’t forget the scene of our first meeting.”
The Pure Heart Saint certainly remembered that first encounter with Jiang Li, when she was high above him, looking down on him.
“As soon as you came down from the Red Dust Pure Land, you were tricked by a demonic cultivator into sealing your cultivation and being tied to a roof. Luckily, I happened to be there and saved you.”
The Pure Heart Saint remembered Jiang Li like a god descended from heaven, followed by a righteous celestial being. The demonic cultivators fled as if they had seen their natural enemy.
“At that time, I was only at the Jindan stage, while the demon cultivator was at the Yuanying stage. Fortunately, I was accompanied by a Yuanying-stage official from the Great Zhou, Ji Zhi’s uncle. The demon cultivator knew that the Great Zhou was the most determined to eliminate demons, so he became timid and fled in panic.”
The Pure Heart Saint remembered how Jiang Li triumphed over the stronger, defeating the Yuanying demon cultivator with his Jindan stage body.
“Ji Zhi’s uncle engaged the demon cultivator in a bloody battle, both of them wounded. The demon cultivator was nearly dead from Ji Zhi’s uncle’s beating, but Ji Zhi’s uncle wasn’t in good condition either, struggling to muster the energy to attack. I took advantage of the opportunity to launch a powerful attack, sneaking in and killing the demon cultivator.”
“If I had arrived a little later, the demon cultivator might have used you as a sacrifice to break through to the Shenhua stage. It would have been very dangerous.”
The Pure Heart Saint remembered that after Jiang Li rescued her, he praised her for her adaptability.
“I carried you down from the rafters, and when I heard you tell me how the demonic cultivators had deceived you, I said you had no opinion of your own.”
“Then, worried you’d be deceived again, I changed my schedule and spent three months with you, teaching you what to believe and what not to believe.”
During those three months, the Pure Heart Saint had been truly enlightened. She had never imagined the outside world of the Mortal Pure Land was so fascinating, and that the human mind was even more complex than the scenery of the Nine Provinces. More importantly, she was deeply attracted to Jiang Li.
During those three months, Jiang Li’s eyes had been opened. He had never imagined such a naive Nascent Soul cultivator could exist. He could only say that he was truly naive, as befitted someone descended from the Mortal Pure Land.
Bai Hongtu had heard the Pure Heart Saint recount how she met Jiang Li, and he had also heard Jiang Li recount how he met the Pure Heart Saint.
He felt like he was listening to two unrelated stories.
“Today, I’ll tell you another theorem. Don’t believe a single word Bai Hongtu says.”
Bai Hongtu thought Jiang Li was incredibly bold, daring to lie to his face.
He still had a 50% chance of being truthful.
“Don’t be fooled by Bai Hongtu’s honest appearance. He’s full of cunning ideas. Think about when the Old Emperor was testing our candidate for the Human Emperor, the ideas that made him furious were all his. I was just the executioner.”
Bai Hongtu raged. “Bullshit! I came up with everything! Half of those ideas were yours! For example, the idea of selling ten thousand combs to the Sumeru Buddha was yours!”
Jiang Li pretended not to hear.
The Pure Heart Saint remembered Jiang Li’s words firmly. Not a single word Bai Hongtu said could be believed, including the one above.
She eyed Bai Hongtu warily and pulled him aside.
Bai Hongtu couldn’t overhear what happened next.
“What’s the matter?”
“Master Hongchen wants to go out and play.”
The Red Dust Fairy’s charm was extremely dangerous to Jiuzhou. Jiang Li had once said that if the Red Dust Fairy wanted to leave the Red Dust Pure Land, he would follow.
While the Pure Heart Saint could have communicated with Jiang Li through the Telecommunication Talisman, communicating via runes was no match for direct conversation.
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart tried her best to find more opportunities to spend time with Jiang Li.
“Okay, where would you like to go, Fairy?” Jiang Li hadn’t been busy lately, and the system had been issuing messages like [This mission can be abandoned] or [This mission is not recommended to be abandoned].
He simply abandoned them.
“On March 3rd, Penglai Fairy Island will hold the Shangsi Festival, and Master wants to go there.”
Jiang Li had heard of the Shangsi Festival, a famous gathering of female cultivators in Jiuzhou, open only to women.
Penglai Fairy Island has always been the main host of the Shangsi Festival and holds a high reputation among female cultivators.
While cultivation is universal, and both men and women can attain immortality, judging by the number of cultivators, only a quarter to a fifth of high-level cultivators are female.
Among those in the Tribulation Crossing stage, only Yu Yin is a woman.
If statistics were taken ten years ago, there wouldn’t have been a single female cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing stage.
The same is true for the position of Human Emperor: of the seventy-two generations of Human Emperors, eighteen have been female.
Under these circumstances, female cultivators naturally sought to gather together for support, and over time, the Shangsi Festival came into being.
As the largest sect for female cultivators, Hongchen Pure Land was naturally invited.
However, the Red Dust Pure Land lived up to its name, escaping the mortal world and entering the Pure Land. Unconcerned with external events, it rarely ventured out into
the world, and its attendance at the Shangsi Festival was few and far between. The Pure Heart Saint wasn’t particularly interested in the Shangsi Festival either. She felt that many of the attendees were attracted to Jiang Li and were his rivals.
What was the point of attending a gathering of rivals?
Initially, upon receiving the invitation, the Pure Heart Saint had no intention of attending, but Fairy Hongchen’s curiosity was strong, and she insisted on attending the Shangsi Festival. She felt that not allowing her would be a betrayal of her master and
ancestors. Reluctantly, the Pure Heart Saint allowed her to attend.
Now, it seemed like a good opportunity to spend more time with Jiang Li.
“Shangsi Festival… wouldn’t it be appropriate for me to go?” Jiang Li hesitated.
Fairy Hongchen’s charm was universal, and even attending the Shangsi Festival, which was dominated by female cultivators, would likely cause a disturbance.
The Pure Heart Saint quickly advised, “How could that be? Everyone welcomes you to go.”
Seeing the Pure Heart Saint’s resolute attitude, Jiang Li agreed.
