Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Hot pot restaurant.

"Dao, your web friend has good taste, picking a place like this. I love this hot pot restaurant!"

The bald man devoured his meal like a whirlwind, with empty plates piled up like a small mountain beside him.

Zhang Chongba gave a thumbs up, confirming the eye for details of Dao's web friend, and then did not forget to shout to the owner:

"Boss, add more meat! We're out of meat!"

Today, Mr. Ba was wearing a bright floral shirt, a gleaming bald head subtly sweating and reflecting the light inside the store, truly eye-catching and attracting the gaze of many passing girls.

Leng Dao's expression was grim, staring at the gleaming bald head in front of him.

If it weren't for this annoying baldy, he would have met [Chan] a few days earlier.

This guy insisted on dragging him to meet so-called martial arts talent from Taian City.

Such a backwater place, without even a dojo, lacked a basic talent screening mechanism. What waves could it possibly make?

Let alone a young genius like a Flood Dragon, there wasn't even a fish or shrimp with potential.

And those who are profoundly Zen-like and have Buddha's Destiny are even harder to find than a needle in the sea.

"Dao, eat some too, don't be shy!"

Mr. Ba was hospitably calling out, and you might think he is the host if you didn't know.

He swished a pot full of meat, symbolically picked a slice for Leng Dao, and then scooped the rest into his own bowl.

Leng Dao sternly said: "Zhang, don't say I didn't warn you, later be perceptive and pay the bill yourself!"

Zhang Chongba felt like he was struck by lightning, suddenly his bowl of meat lost its appeal.

He wiped his sweat and chuckled awkwardly, "Isn't it your web friend who's treating?"

Leng Dao coldly said: "He's treating me, not you! Who eats like you, could eat a whole cow! My friend's family isn't wealthy; they can't afford a pig like you!"

Zhang Chongba awkwardly replied, "Just a casual bite, just a casual bite."

Honestly, he was very curious about Leng Dao's "web friend".

After all, this whole thing was just two words:

Abstract.

Leng Dao, freshly promoted Special Commissioner of the Federation Religious Administration, leaving his team during a mission to meet a web friend?

Abstract, damn too abstract.

And he just ate two extra bowls of beef, and this guy got anxious, which gave him all the more reason to suspect that this so-called web friend is a girl with a slim waist and long legs.

So he shamelessly tagged along to see what kind of temptress could influence Dao's speed of drawing his sword.

The clock on the wall pointed to seven.

The store's atmosphere was just starting to buzz.

Chatter filled the air, mingling with the sizzling sound of the hot pot broth, and the air was filled with the aroma of spicy and savory flavors.

"Lord Blade?"

A doubtful inquiry.

A young man stood there puzzled, looking at the bald man in a floral shirt on the left, and then at the long-haired handsome man on the right, finally resting his eyes on the right.

Leng Dao, known for his cold demeanor, rarely showed a trace of a smile:

"Chan?"

The code matched.

Ji Jingqiu took a seat, apologizing shyly: "Sorry for being late, my real name is Ji Jingqiu, you can call me Xiao Ji or Jing Qiu, Lord Blade."

Leng Dao nodded, "My real name is Leng Dao, I'll call you Qiu."

Ji Jingqiu blinked; Lord Blade was a real man, using his real name online!

"Lord Blade, is this your friend?"

He looked at the notorious-looking bald man, feeling that this guy's personality was too distinct.

Bald head, floral shirt, thick gold chain.

It matched some stereotypes too well!

"My colleague." Leng Dao nodded, "You can just call him Laoba."

And by this time, Zhang Chongba was already stunned on the spot.

His face twitched, his eyes wide open, staring incredulously at the young man before him.

Holy crap! What the hell did I just see?!

Is this a human?

Is this what you get when you stuff something into a ball of Zen? A walking Zen?

Even the kids from the Mu Family who grew up in the temple don't have one-tenth of this Zen!

Has the ancestor of the Mu Family reincarnated?!

This Buddha's Destiny... is a bit too profound!!

The one with Buddha's Destiny he couldn't find throughout Taian City just appeared before him.

Zhang Chongba took a deep breath and smiled unabashedly, asking, "Is this young brother surnamed Ji? Which Ji is it?"

"The Ji from 'season'."

"So, you're Brother Ji!" Zhang Chongba joyfully exclaimed, "Old Leng and I are partners, people in the rivers and lakes call me Mr. Ba, and you can call me Bage if you don't mind!"

After that, he subtly started asking for information about Ji Jingqiu.

Upon learning that Ji Jingqiu had just started practising Martial Arts and was under the tutelage of Yang Yan Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Chongba slapped the table excitedly:

"Brother, this is fate!"

"The head of Yang Yan Martial Arts Hall is Yang Yan, isn't it? That's my second uncle! Blood-related!"

"No wonder when you entered, I felt a familiar sense of family!"

"You're a disciple of my second uncle, doesn't that make you my sworn brother?!"

For some reason, the bald man's tone sounded oddly familiar to Ji Jingqiu.

He thought carefully and remembered a comedy spy film he had watched in a previous life called "Infiltration," passionately performed by the famous Cross Training master and inheritor of the "Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt," Sha Yi.

In it, a character named Chen Ming, when finding Sha Yi, who played a second shop assistant, profitable, would affectionately call him "brother" in just the same way.

Ji Jingqiu looked towards Lord Blade.

Unlike the reticent but somehow reliable Lord Blade, this bald man looked unreliable at first glance.

Leng Dao also frowned, looking at the bald man.

This guy had been in Taian City for over a week and hadn't even gone to see his so-called blood-related second uncle; their relationship was obvious at a glance.

To be so excited about recognizing relatives at this point only had four words to describe it.

"Either a villain or a thief."

Leng Dao looked at Ji Jingqiu and uttered four words.

Zhang Chongba's face immediately fell.

He was heartbroken that Dao did not stand by him!

Sighing, Zhang Chongba decided to be straightforward since they were all his own people, no need to beat around the bush.

He coughed lightly, lowering his voice and said, "Brother, has any stranger approached you recently wanting to recruit you into a church?"

Ji Jingqiu was startled, his mind instantly picturing a crew-cut man and that piece of Blood Jade.

He seriously looked at the bald man.

They shouldn't be in cahoots, right?

Seeing his demeanor, Zhang Chongba chuckled, "Brother, did that person also tell you that your Zen is profound and you are destined with Buddha, then lightly patted your shoulder?"

Before Ji Jingqiu could reply, Leng Dao's brows tightened, "Is Chan the type of person you're talking about?"

He knew Zhang Chongba possessed a special Pupil Skill, which made him particularly good at recognizing people and tracking.

They had spent the past week in Taian City looking for Li Buyi, and in their spare time, they focused on finding the genius martial artist with profound Buddha's Destiny that Zhang Chongba mentioned.

Zhang Chongba whispered, "Not only that. Li Buyi, that damned bastard, possesses a tracking secret technique, once a mark is placed, even thousands of miles apart, one can locate by sensing from the Spirit Ocean.

This secret technique's mark is invisible and intangible, but it can't escape my eyes; there's currently a Dao Mark on our brother's shoulder!"

Leng Dao's expression grew solemn, signifying that Ji Jingqiu had already encountered Li Buyi!

He looked at Ji Jingqiu, "Chan, did this happen?"

Ji Jingqiu calmed down and replied, "It did, last week near my home, I met a weird crew-cut man who said I possess profound Zen and wanted to be my guide."

Leng Dao's demeanor abruptly turned fierce, radiating a murderous aura.

Zhang Chongba thoughtfully said, "Brother, did that guy give you anything?"
