Chapter 158
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
The western monk was sitting cross-legged on a prison bed . He was meditating to condense his qi .
In the eyes of an average man, this western monk was nothing but a sturdy man that looked like a devious arhat . [1]
But Zhao Bulu was already a cultivator that had opened his second aperture, the Eye Aperture . In his eyes, this western monk had a very high concentration of qi and blood . While the monk was rhythmically inhaling and exhaling, all the qi and blood in his body was seething in excitement . Obviously, he had already reached the peak of the First Stage . He just needed the right opportunity, and he would be able to jump through the dragon gate [2], breaking through to the Second Stage . At that point, all the qi and blood in his body would transform into true qi!
But this wasn’t the key point . The body of this western monk was shrouded in a thick virtuous golden light .
In Zhao Bulu’s eyes, the western monk was like a small dazzling sun .
Since he had such a thick virtuous light surrounding his body, it was clear that this monk was a high-ranked one! But why was a high-ranked monk in prison?
The western monk discovered that someone had been brought to the prison . He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Bulu .
"You sent another one here? Which law did he break?" The western monk asked .
At this time, the prison guard, who had the face of someone that was trying to curry favors, quickly replied, "Great Master, this is a robber . He completely destroyed an express delivery vehicle to rob the content, and he even seriously injured the driver . This guy is without a doubt a wicked criminal!"
When he saw the strange expression of the prison guard, Zhao Bulu felt that something was not right .
"Very good! Leave this criminal to me; I’ll guide him to the right path . " The western monk joined his palms together and invoked the name of the Buddha . While reciting the sacred text, the virtuous golden light around his body started to move as if alive . It seemed as if the Buddha himself had come back to life, making one unable to look at him .
"Then, I’ll leave everything to you," the prison guard respectfully closed the prison gate .
When he came here, everyone thought that he was just a criminal that had killed some people on the metro and was thrown into prison as a consequence . Therefore, these prison guards didn’t really put him in the eye . After all, they had seen many murderers . But soon after, they were told from the higher-ups to treat the western monk well, and to give him high-quality food .
However, they weren’t told to release him . They were only told to let the Great Master do as he pleased .
He could do as he pleased… in the middle of a prison?!
Afterwards, the Great Master really settled down inside the prison . He would sit in his cell and read aloud buddhist scriptures to the criminals, leading them to a path of virtue . From time to time, he would go in the dark places of the prison and convert resentful souls too .
During this month, the prison guards felt that the eerie atmosphere inside the prison had almost disappeared . In addition, the western monk resembled a high-ranked monk more and more . His every action and movement carried an incredible charm .
They had no idea what this Great Master was thinking . Maybe he needed a place to hone his skills and make a breakthrough?

Just as the prison guards left, the western monk joined his palms together and greeted Zhao Bulu according to the buddhist customs, "Hello, Fellow Daoist . "
If Zhao Bulu could feel the power of qi and blood from the monk’s body, the monk could also tell that Zhao Bulu was different from the others .
"Hello, Great Master," Zhao Bulu was very anxious . Lately, his life had been a tragedy .
"Fellow Daoist, no need to be scared . You and I are predestined friends," the western monk said with a faint smile . "If I can lead you onto the right path, I’ll have enough power of virtue to try and open the dragon gate, changing into a dragon from a fish! You’ll be the last criminal I’ll convert in this prison . "
In this month he had stayed inside the prison, he had converted many resentful souls and wandering souls of the deceased . And while he was at it, he also converted a few criminals that had committed grave sins . During this month, he had already accumulated a lot of power of virtue .
And if we were to add this power of virtue to his already rich qi and blood, advancing to the Second Stage was just a matter of time .
Zhao Bulu bitterly smiled, "Great Master, I’m already part of a sect . "
"It doesn’t matter . I don’t want you to betray the teachings of your sect," the western monk said with a bright smile, trying to console him .
After hearing these words, Zhao Bulu was immediately relieved .
"I just want you to become a Buddhist monk . Don’t worry, becoming a monk has certainly nothing to do with teachings of your sect," the western monk joined his palms together and said, "come, come, come . There is no need to wait . How about shaving your head after I teach you the basics of Buddhism? Or maybe you want some burn marks? After all, you and I are predestined friends . Buy one and get one free . How about six burn marks? I begged my teacher for a long time to give me these burn marks . For some reason, he was very against it . And after I managed to complete my Foundation Establishment, he only gave me four burn marks; I had to add the other two myself . Aren’t they beautiful?"
Zhao Bulu imagined himself as a bald monk with burn marks; he thought of killing himself .
He wanted to run away from this place as soon as possible . But then, he looked at his broken legs . Both his eyes went blank; he had lost faith in the world .
Despair was the greatest sorrow . . .

July 1, Monday .
Song Shuhang got up early and started to practice his <<Basic Buddhist Fist Technique>> as usual, transforming all the strength accumulated during the night into qi and blood . Afterwards, he redirected this strength toward his second aperture, the Eye Aperture .
Later, he brushed his teeth and changed his clothes .
Today, he was planning to bring Senior White to buy a mobile, a computer, and other goods of daily use . While at it, he would help him get familiar with the surroundings .
"I’ll ask for another day off," Song Shuhang said in a low voice . He had more or less understood the contents of the lesson . It didn’t really matter if he couldn’t get the credits for full attendance .
At this time, the sound of the doorbell echoed from downstairs .
"Who might it be?" Song Shuhang raised his head and looked outside . At that point, he saw a snow-white werewolf standing in front of the door . He was ringing the doorbell with his paw .
He immediately thought of the conversation he had had yesterday with Cave Lord Snow Wolf in the Nine Provinces Number One Group .
Was this wolf here to give him Senior White’s legal documents?
Song Shuhang went downstairs to meet the big snow-white wolf .
"Hello, are you Song Shuhang?" The snow-white wolf had a soft voice, resembling that of a child .
"Hello . Yes, I’m Song Shuhang," Song Shuhang opened the door .
"I’m here under our Lord’s command . I have to give you something . By the way, the Lord I’m talking about is exactly Cave Lord Snow Wolf," the snow-white wolf pointed to the small package hanging around his neck . He took it off and handed it to Song Shuhang .
"Thank you . Senior Snow Wolf mentioned it yesterday," Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and took the small package—inside were things like Senior White’s identity card, household register, passport, and driving license .
Wait, driving license?
Song Shuhang carefully looked at the document, and it was really a driving license .
Senior White had yet to touch a car, but he already had a driving license! Was this really okay?
"Then, I’ll take my leave . Our Lord said that you’re welcome to pay a visit to our Snow Wolf Cave whenever you have time," after finishing his sentence, the snow-white wolf lightly jumped . He turned into a white mist and quickly ran away .
It seemed as if this snow-white wolf was trying to hide from something .
Was he hiding from Senior White?
This shouldn’t be the case . Monster beasts weren't afraid of Senior White . This could be easily seen from Doudou’s case .
Then, was he hiding from the pekingese Doudou?
While thinking of all kinds of different possibilities, Song Shuhang went upstairs to look for True Monarch White . Oh, wait . Now he was Venerable White—the title should be changed!
Song Shuhang always felt the urge to call him ‘True Monarch White’ . He was treating ‘White’ as the surname and ‘True Monarch’ as the name .
After arriving upstairs, Song Shuhang saw that Senior White was… disassembling the fridge? On the screen of the nearby computer were some basic materials regarding the structure of the fridge .
"Oooh . So, this is what the insides of the fridge look like! It’s really interesting . When put together, these components can produce artificial cold air, acting the same way as a formation does . The creativity of the human race knows no limits!" Senior White muttered to himself . He was very happy .
Soon, the entire fridge had been completely disassembled into small parts .
Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "Senior White, what about the things inside the fridge?"
"Oh, I put them on the table . Don’t worry . In a while, I’ll reassemble the fridge!" Senior White said, his face full of confidence .
Song Shuhang looked at the table and saw the box of ‘crunchy popsicles’ he had recently bought, and his face turned:
