Chapter 371: Chapter 221: Stunned! You Rented an Entire Mountain Just for Dual Cultivation?

You just heard a "bang".

Any clouds, golden light, Buddha Country, instantly vanished without a trace.

Everything returned to normal, Yang Anbang and Wang Tao sat on the couch, looking quite shaken, while across from them, Lu Taiyi was also somewhat pale.

"Holy shit, that’s miraculous!"

The people around were initially bewildered, then dumbfounded, and when they finally snapped back to reality, they were instantly filled with excitement and admiration.

Yang Anbang and Wang Tao felt the same way, but they were still apprehensive about the appearance of the Big Ear Buddha at the end, not knowing what might have happened if those two sudden flashes hadn’t intervened.

Yang Anbang harbored a final shred of doubt and cautiously spoke: "Master, at the end we..."

"Don’t ask, I also don’t know."

Lu Taiyi forcibly suppressed the reversed flow of Spiritual Qi, waved his hand, and said naturally: "Back then, when the Ascetic Monk handed this statue to me, he only spoke of its use and said nothing about anything else."

"He said that all beings in the world have their destined paths, differing Wisdom Roots seeing different realms of the Three Thousand Worlds, so if you encounter difficulties within, even I cannot help you."

Indeed!

Yang Anbang’s final doubt dissipated, and he pulled Wang Tao in front of him and directly bowed.

If Lu Taiyi had forcefully explained, Yang Anbang naturally wouldn’t have believed him; conversely, by saying he didn’t know, he truly proved he wasn’t trying to deceive.

"No need for formalities, no need for formalities."

Lu Taiyi’s gaze flickered, raising his hand slightly, indicating he accepted the gesture.

His words just now contained more truth than usual, but there was still one lie: he did know what they had just experienced.

As for the Buddha Country earlier, it was precisely one of the Maitreya Sect’s magic known as the Three Lights Spell, which could use the Maitreya Statue and Butter Lamp to directly pull this place into another dimension.

Depending on the person it targets, the dimension entered differs, and the scenes seen vary alike.

This aspect, even the spell’s caster cannot control, nor can they interfere.

However, even so, in ancient times, this spell was still the most core magic of the Maitreya Sect, and the reason is simple:

Once the spell’s target awakens from the dimension, they become the most loyal disciple of the Maitreya Sect!

Subsequently, as the great era withdrew, these spells became part of ancient texts.

But as the great era approached, Lu Taiyi felt the timing was right, and he had already tested it before; this spell was still effective.

Just at the right moment, silly Wang Tao came along, even introducing Yang Anbang.

Lu Taiyi valued their backgrounds, intending to convert them into Maitreya Sect disciples, yet despite his meticulous preparation, he still failed.

"This scythe is indeed sharp."

...

Lin Baiwei stepped out of the airport, took off her sunglasses, took a deep breath, and felt the air of freedom.

She stood at 168 centimeters tall, and even with a mask on, couldn’t hide her exceptional demeanor. Sporting a sizzling outfit, her long, straight, slender white legs left people dazzled.

"My dear lady, please don’t shout, quickly get into the car."

Before she could shout, the driver, already contemplating headache-inducing situations, reacted preemptively.

"What are you afraid of?! I finally got out; what’s wrong with shouting a couple of times?"

Lin Baiwei reluctantly got into the car, retorting: "I look so good, maybe after shouting a couple of times, someone might praise my charm, you bumpkin, hmph!"

"Of course, you’re the prettiest..."

The driver, having driven for the Lin Family long enough, naturally knew Lin Baiwei and her sister Lin Yanke both liked to shout whenever they got excited, so he had no choice but to stop her, else she’d end up making headlines again.

Lin Baiwei raised her eyebrow, just about to question his attitude when the sound from her bag interrupted.

"Hey, upset? Oh, I’m not in the Capital City, I’m out having fun... When will I go back? I don’t know."

"In a few days? I’m not sure... Weekend, I’m unsure too... Do I have to report to you everywhere I go?"

"Alright then, if I go back, I’ll contact you, okay? That’s it, hanging up."

The caller was Gao Nianyi, someone who had been Lin Baiwei’s classmate before university. They had always maintained a good relationship.

Unlike her present lively demeanor, Gao Nianyi used to always have a serious face, prompting Lin Baiwei to nickname her ’Not Happy’ based on her surname.

Her family was quite renowned in the Capital City, with the grandfather semi-retired, poised for her father to inherit the position, though her father preferred business over politics.

Her grandfather was quite angered, having no choice but to hand over the connections to her uncle.

This was a rare affair in the Capital City.

After hanging up, Lin Baiwei found Lin Yanke’s contact in her phonebook, hesitated a bit, then dialed.

"Hey, sis, I’m in Z City now, just out of the airport."

"Where are you exactly... no need, just send me your location on WeChat, okay—sis."

After sending the location to the driver, she leisurely started playing with her phone.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The car gradually slowed down as it approached the foot of Qilian Mountain and then begrudgingly came to a stop.

No matter how much the horn blared, the road ahead was utterly congested, not moving an inch.

Seeing this, Lin Baiwei raised an eyebrow, opened the car door, and dashed forward, ignoring the driver’s pained look.

"Little brat, don’t run! How can you be stealing at such a young age? I’ll teach you a lesson on your parents’ behalf!"

"Waaaa... I didn’t, I didn’t steal anything... I really didn’t..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

When Lin Baiwei arrived at the scene, a little girl ran tearfully out of a shabby convenience store, pursued persistently by a man.
