nThe hidden monk had lived for nearly 150 years.

n

n

nHe had reached the end of his life.

n

n

nHowever, for a master of the Saint Core Realm like him.

n

n

nHis Qi and blood would begin to decline only when he truly reached the last moment of his life.

n

n

nIf it wasn’t for Lin Qi’s visit.

n

n

nHe would have died in meditation even if he lived for a few years.

n

n

nHowever, Lin Qi’s appearance allowed him to see the possibility of becoming an Earth Immortal.

n

n

nHis realm increased as he fought with Lin Qi.

n

n

nNot only that…

n

n

nHis lifespan also increased.

n

n

nHe could live for at least another 30 years.

n

n

nJust like Daoist Master Qingxu.

n

n

nLin Qi used heaven-defying methods to extend the life of the hidden monk by more than 30 years.

n

n

nThat was an Earth Immortal that could reverse life and death.

n

n

nMore than 30 years was enough for this old monk to step into the Earth Immortal Realm.

n

n

nAt that time, the monk’s lifespan would increase again.

n

n

nApart from that, the many years of illness in the monk’s body.

n

n

nWere all healed by Lin Qi at that moment.

n

n

nHe looked weak and frail on the surface.

n

n

nIn fact, his condition was many times better than before he fought with Lin Qi.

n

n

nThe hidden monk also secretly transmitted his voice to Yongxin and the others.

n

n

nHe told them that there was no need to panic.

n

n

nHis body was fine.

n

n

nHe had already peered into the Earth Immortal Realm.

n

n

nOnly then did Yongxin and the others heave a sigh of relief, and they were delighted.

n

n

nIt would be Shaolin’s fortune for hundreds of years if the hidden monk could become a warrior of Earth Immortal Realm!

n

n

nShaolin could at least maintain its position for hundreds of years.

n

n

nLin Qi looked at the hidden monk whose eyes were tightly shut and shook his head. “Old Monk, it’s too boring to fight with you!”

n

n

nThat was not Lin Qi boasting, but the truth.

n

n

nThe difference in strength between the two was too great, even though Lin Qi did not use the power of Heaven and Earth.

n

n

nBut the monk was no match for Lin Qi with just his physical body.

n

n

nThe monk was like an infant in front of Lin Qi, while Lin Qi was an adult.

n

n

nEven if an adult did not attack, an infant would not be able to hurt an adult in the slightest, no matter how he attacked.

n

n

nHowever, even though the hidden monk was not as good as Lin Qi.

n

n

nLin Qi could still see the extraordinariness of the Shaolin martial arts from the hidden monk.

n

n

nHe might be able to gain something from the Shaolin Temple’s martial arts if he could comprehend it in the right way.

n

n

nPerhaps it would allow him to take a step closer!

n

n

n“Since you can’t satisfy me, I will personally go to the Shaolin Temple’s Buddhist Scripture Library to take a good look at the unique aspects of the Shaolin martial arts.”

n

n

nLin Qi’s figure moved just as he finished speaking.

n

n

nThe tip of his foot tapped in the air, and the air rippled like a water wave.

n

n

nLin Qi soared into the sky.

n

n

nThe scene shocked everyone.

n

n

nThat was many times more difficult than the hidden monk jumping down from the top of the cliff.

n

n

nThe hidden monk jumped down and didn’t need to borrow strength. He only needed to control his Concrete Qi, and he could float in the air.

n

n

nHowever, that was a cliff that was more than a thousand meters long.

n

n

nLin Qi had no strength to borrow from the bottom up. He could only rely on the powerful Concrete Qi to not fall from the air.

n

n

nEveryone was dumbfounded when Lin Qi reached the Buddhist Scripture Library at the top of the cliff.

n

n

nEveryone’s eyes were wide open, and their jaws dropped.

n

n

n“Oh my God, I see a God!”

n

n

n“Mom, look, someone can fly!”

n

n

n“This cliff is at least a thousand meters long, and he flew up. If he wasn’t an immortal, that what is he?”

n

n

n“This is the Shaolin Temple. Where did this god come from? It’s the manifestation of Buddha!”

n

n

n“Um, I think that regardless of whether this person is a god or Buddha, the most important thing is that such a powerful person has appeared in front of us. Are we just going to watch him leave?”

n

n

n“Yeah, no way. I want to acknowledge him as my master.”

n

n

n“Acknowledge him as our master! Acknowledge him as our master!”

n

n

nEveryone recovered from their shock and realized the main point.

n

n

nLin Qi, who was like a god, had disappeared right under their noses. How could they not quickly try to acknowledge him as their master?

n

n

nThey would not dare to say that they could become a god if they could acknowledge Lin Qi as their master. However, they would be proud of themselves if they could learn one-tenth of Lin Qi’s abilities.

n

n

nThe warriors, in particular, were panting heavily. Their eyes were bloodshot as they charged straight towards the Shaolin Temple.

n

n

nThey wanted to go to the Buddhist Scripture Library to find Lin Qi and become his disciple!

n

n

nA large number of tourists swarmed towards the Shaolin Temple under the led of these warriors.

n

n

nThe hidden monk, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had extremely clear ears and eyes.

n

n

nHis expression changed upon hearing their thoughts.

n

n

nThe tourist would trample the Buddhist Scripture Library with so many of them swarming into it.

n

n

nMoreover, the Buddhist Scripture Library was not open to the public!

n

n

nThe hidden monk hurriedly stood up from the ground and ran into the courtyard. He then transmitted his thoughts to Yongxin.

n

n

nYongxin immediately understood.

n

n

nHe quickly commanded the monks to stop these crazy tourists.

n

n

nSoon, some tourists became dissatisfied and shouted, “Why aren’t they allowed to enter the temple!”

n

n

n“Amitabha!”

n

n

nYongxin was, after all, the abbot of Shaolin Temple. He had seen all kinds of big scenes.

n

n

nJust a few tourists would not be a problem for him.

n

n

nHe immediately chanted a Buddhist chant, “Almsgivers, I’m very sorry. We won’t be receiving tourists from today onwards.”

n

n

n“And from today onwards, the mountain will be closed for a year!”

n

n

n“I can’t help it. I’m very sorry. I hope everyone can understand.”

n

n

n“What, the mountain will be closed?”

n

n

nThese tourists were instantly dumbfounded.

n

n

nThey had never thought that the Shaolin temple would close the mountain.

n

n

nYongxin also revealed a bitter smile.

n

n

nIt was not his idea to seal the mountain for a year.

n

n

nIt was the hidden monk’s idea.

n

n

nFirstly, it was to let the Shaolin temple cooperate with Lin Qi’s act and let the people who paid attention to this matter know that Lin Qi had indeed injured the hidden monk.

n

n

nSecondly, sealing the mountain for a year would also allow the hidden monk to advance to the Earth Immortal faster.

n

n

nHowever, who knew how much incense money they would lose by sealing the mountain for a year.

n

n

nJust thinking about it made Yongxin feel heartache.

n

n

nAs the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, he was under a lot of pressure to manage the food, clothing, and transportation of thousands of monks.

n

n

nHowever, Yongxin felt much better when he thought about how the hidden monk could become an Earth Immortal.

n

n

nAfter all, the core of the Shaolin temple was still Buddhism and martial arts.

n

n

nWith a land god overseeing it, it was far better than the wealth of thousands of incense.

n

n

nAt the top of the cliff on Mount Song.

n

n

nOutside the Buddhist Scripture Library.

n

n

nLooking at the three-floored Buddhist Scripture Library built on the edge of the cliff.

n

n

nLin Qi was also a little moved.

n

n

nThis Buddhist Scripture Library was the most important thing in the Shaolin Temple. Even ordinary monks were not allowed to enter it.

n

n

nIt had countless precious scriptures over the past thousand years arranged in it.

n

n

nThere were Buddhist scriptures and martial arts techniques.

n

n

nThese Shaolin monks had studied Buddhism and martial arts in the Buddhist Scripture Library and left their marks for over the past thousand years.

n

n

nLin Qi could feel the vicissitudes of life and the historical scenes as soon as he arrived outside the Buddhist Scripture Library.

n

n

nIt was as if these scenes were replaying in his mind.

n

n

nOf course, ordinary people couldn’t feel anything special at all.

n

n

nOnly Lin Qi could capture these historical scenes from the environment of the Buddhist Scripture Library.

n

n

nA delicate and pretty novice monk saw a tourist had suddenly come to the Buddhist Scripture Library and wanted to stop him.

n

n

n“Amitabha, almsgiver, the Buddhist Scripture Library…”

n

n

nHe wanted to say that the Buddhist Scripture Library was not open to the public and ask him to visit elsewhere.

n

n

nHowever, before he could finish speaking.

n

n

nHe heard the voice of the hidden monk coming from afar.

n

n

n“Welcome this almsgiver properly.”

n

n

nThe novice monk hurriedly extended his hand and welcomed Lin Qi into the Buddhist Scripture Library.

n

n

nThere were rows and rows of bookshelves, and the bookshelves were filled with densely packed scriptures within the Buddhist Scripture Library.

n

n

nThe Buddhist Scripture Library had a total of three floors.

n

n

nThe first floor was filled with ordinary scriptures.

n

n

nThe second floor was filled with martial arts techniques.

n

n

nThe third floor was filled with precious scriptures.

n

n

nOther than the old monk, who cultivated in seclusion, even the abbot, Yongxin was not qualified to enter the third floor in the entire Shaolin Temple.
