Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Humming Back and Forth

The exam review group leader unconsciously used his mystic ability.

He said, regarding the scripture `On How to Defeat the Mahayana through the Transcendant Tribulation’ was well-written, it was difficult to judge as good or bad.

He said the document `How to Become Immortal’ was well crafted as well, it was challenging to make a fair determination.

“Weird.” the group leader of the exam reviewers muttered. He had been using his abilities for a lifetime, and he had never seen such a situation before.

It was as if he couldn’t estimate anything involving these two.

What he didn’t know was that judging good or bad fate fell within the scope of the Way of Cause and Effect. Even the Yin Yang Heaven Seal, which was most proficient in the Way of Cause and Effect, couldn’t find Jiang Li’s cause and effect, let alone his inferior mystic abilities.

Jiang Li’s cause and effect were undetectable, invisible, inaudible, embodying emptiness.

He mused for a moment, then said, “The writing styles of these two papers are not much different, we need to consider other aspects.”

The first sentence from the group leader doubtingly raised the eyebrows of both Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li.

What did he mean by not much difference in writing style? How could his writing be compared to the esteemed Human Emperor (Sect Master of Dao Sect)? Clearly, his writing was superior.

“In terms of imagination, `On How to Defeat the Mahayana through the Transcendant Tribulation’ is somewhat better. It’s evident that the author is a freethinker who enjoys fantasy.”

“What?” Bai Hongtu interjected, raising his voice.

What did he mean by pratting about?

Although he did not use his mystic abilities, the group leader had a hunch that something bad was going to happen. His professionalism made him continue his analysis.

“`How to Become Immortal,’ however, evokes imagination on first reading as well. But with the instructions given, I could practice and make something out of it. This demonstrates that this scripture is not entirely fictitious, hence it’s slightly inferior in terms of imagination.”

“Hmm.” Bai Hongtu mumbled again, his voice descending from high to low.

“`On How to Defeat the Mahayana through the Transcendant Tribulation’ quotes some made-up famous people, like something said by the Immortal Elder and the Sect Master of Dao Sect, which I haven’t heard of, this is a drawback.”

“What?” Bai Hongtu pard out again, punctuation marked by raising his voice.

“Although I haven’t heard of these famous people, after pondering over their quotes, it seems to make sense. This must be the author’s personal wisdom, which is quite thought-provoking.”

“Hmm.” Bai Hongtu mumbled again, his voice descending from high to low.

“However, the calligraphy in `On How to Defeat the Mahayana through the Transcendant Tribulation’ kind of flies off the handle, doesn’t look great.”

“What?” Bai Hongtu pard out again, punctuation marked by raising his voice.

Slap

Jiang Li couldn’t hold back anymore and slapped Bai Hongtu on the back of his head.

Bai Hong’s humming was like an annoying mosquito, making one furious upon hearing it.

“All in all, I consider `On How to Defeat the Mahayana through the Transcendant Tribulation’ a notch better.”

“I knew at first glance that you are an unbiased judge with good eye. Good.” Bai Hongtu was smugly satisfied, the more he saw the group leader’s beer belly, the more he liked it.

Bai Hongtu pointed at the group leader’s beer belly, and it slowly disappeared, and thick black hair appeared on his head.

“What is this?” The group leader was thrilled, he didn’t expect such a magical ability.

“Did I become handsome and slim?”

“Right.”

Bai Hongtu nodded, “This is the illusion I cast on you. From now on, you will look like this to yourself.”

“What about others? How will they see me?”

“Of course, it’s still a beer belly and balding.”

Jiang Li wanted to slap Bai Hongtu again at the back of his head. This time, Bai Hongtu was prepared and ducked his head.

Seeing the disappointed expression of the group leader, Jiang Li explained: “He was lying to you. What he just performed was not an illusion, but reshaping magic. What you look like now is real.”

In order not to let Bai Hongtu to be too proud, Jiang Li felt defeated inside, although his face remained expressionless, as if he didn’t care about this matter.

The winner often loves to watch the expression on the loser’s face. Jiang Li understood this well.

Shape-shifting magic is quite a simple Dao method, allegedly originated from a beautiful female cultivator who loved to eat.

Delicious food often contained a great deal of energy. The female cultivator ate too much and couldn’t digest it properly. She put on weight. In order to maintain her good figure, she dedicated herself to practice, and eventually developed the art of shape-shifting.

When this ability came about, it caused a huge wave among female cultivators.

On the other hand, the deputy director was still talking to the director about the importance of the two scriptures, showering them with great compliments.

The deputy director thought he was boasting, but in fact he was not. The director understood better than the deputy director how terrifying it was to cultivate immortality.

“Alright, Old Zheng, I got it. Let the group leader stay, you can go back first.”

When the director had said this much, the deputy director could only leave.

“You two gentlemen are enjoying your human experience. How comfortable!” The director grinned, having learned about the two men from Bureau Chief Shao, and just by chance, they were also visiting the capital city, so he politely invited them over.

But before he could say two sentences, he was interrupted by the deputy director.

“Aren’t you looking for the owners of the two scriptures? Here they are.”

The director saw the group leader’s enthusiastic eyes. This was the first cultivator in Weigu’s world, which was of utmost importance.

The group leader was stunned, he didn’t expect such a coincidence.

“You two have given me teaching and guidance, please accept my bow.”

Neither of them would allow him to bow down.

Bai Hongtu had only one disciple, Yu Youxian, an emissary of the Dao Sect, who was acting as a host in the Ming Zhong World.

Jiang Li didn’t even have a disciple.

Both of them couldn’t possibly accept a disciple absentmindedly.

To impart the knowledge about cultivation, yes.

To accept him as a disciple, no.

The group leader knew the personality of distinguished persons, so he reluctantly gave up.

“So you want the cultivation method?” Jiang Li chuckled. He was asking not only the group leader but also the director.

The director was ecstatic, he could obtain the cultivation method.

He thought that cultivation required inheritance, which couldn’t be passed on, and the two wouldn’t tell him the cultivation method.

Who would have thought that he could easily get the cultivation method.

“Then who are you planning to teach the cultivation method to?”

Jiang Li’s question left the director speechless.

Yes, who should cultivate after all? Should it be those with supernatural powers, or should a group of people with good talents be selected, or should it be promoted to all?

No matter which choice you make, there are both advantages and disadvantages, and the director can’t judge the size of the advantages and disadvantages for a while.

Seeing the director’s hesitation, Jiang Li couldn’t help but understand the director’s dilemma.

“Does the gentleman have any suggestions?” The director asked humbly for advice.

“This is a matter of your world, and I won’t interfere. But now that you’re aware of this, do you still want the cultivation method?”

The director chuckled bitterly. Asked by Jiang Li, he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. After getting the cultivation method, he would have sleepless nights and might make wrong decisions in a rush.

Now that the delicate balance has finally been achieved between the superpower individuals and ordinary people, it symbolizes the end of 6000 years of conflict.

If the cultivation method cannot be controlled properly, it could potentially end up in a 6000 years of strife again.

“Gentlemen, I apologize for the trouble. I would like to reconsider this matter before asking for the cultivation method.”

“That’s fine too.”
