Chapter 58 - Discussing Exorcism in Front of the Demon Lord: Is It Really a Good Idea?

“It’s Fan Banruo. Why did you come here? Where is your master?” Miaojue looked at the woman in front of her, wearing a loving smile as she gently inquired.

“Master and Lord Buddha are currently occupied in meditation, so Fan Banruo has brought you some refreshing incense,” the woman named Fan Banruo replied gently. She then handed a delicate little jade bottle to Miaojue.

“Oh, I mentioned this to Jingzhu before, and I didn’t expect her to bring it. How considerate,” Miaojue said with delight as she accepted the refreshing incense.

At the same time, Miaojue turned to Gu Liuyun and said, “This is the master of Jingyan Nunnery, the closed disciple of Master Jingzhu, Fan Banruo.”

Fan Banruo? Gu Liuyun had heard that name before, and now, hearing Miaojue’s introduction, he was shocked. In his previous life, Fan Banruo had gained immense fame as the “Lord of Reincarnation,” known for her extraordinary talent and the creation of the “Curse of Reincarnation” that shook the Nine Realms.

At that time, players were particularly captivated by her despite her masked identity. Her unparalleled power and charisma earned her a devoted following. Learning that the ethereal woman before him was the future Reincarnation Lord, Banruo, shocked Gu Liuyun. Just as he was processing this revelation, Fan Banruo spoke up.@@novelbin@@

“Elder Miaojue called forth so many alchemy disciples for Taoist Gu,” she inquired.

Miaojue nodded and explained, “Taoist Gu has offered a medium-grade magic artifact as payment and seeks the assistance of a Buddhist alchemy disciple to combat demons. I’ve let Taoist Gu choose the candidate.”

“Oh? Dealing with demons…” Fan Banruo’s eyes glittered as she turned her gaze towards Gu Liuyun.

Inwardly, Gu Liuyun panicked. He wasn’t prepared for Miaojue to openly discuss his intention to battle demons in front of the future Demon Lord. He contemplated how to explain himself and avoid drawing Banruo’s attention. However, before he could speak, Fan Banruo offered to take on the task herself.

“Banruo has devoted herself to Buddhist practice and hasn’t engaged in demon-slaying. Might Elder Miaojue entrust this task to me?”

Gu Liuyun felt a chill run down his back as soon as these words came out. Miaojue also hesitated, saying, “This…”

Fan Banruo said, “I don’t want that medium-grade magic weapon just to see a magic cultivator. Elder Miaojue, could you accommodate my request?”

Gu Liuyun hesitated for a moment, saying, “This… dealing with demons is extremely dangerous, and I’m not sure if it’s suitable for Fellow Brahma…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Fan Banruo blinked her eyes and spoke gently, “Banruo has reached the Divine Palace Realm, and I believe I won’t hold Taoist Gu back. If Taoist Gu agrees, I would be grateful.”

Gu Liuyun felt hesitant, but seeing Fan Banruo’s pure and gentle demeanor, he decided not to resist and said, “In that case, I’ll trouble Fellow Taoist Fan.”

After exiting the Buddhist sect, Gu Liuyun glanced at the ethereal and Holy Banruo by his side and began to doubt his decision. He realized they had just started the game’s first year, and the events concerning the Reincarnation Lord were still far ahead. There was no need to be overly concerned. Besides, he was a reborn character with a chance to surpass her in this life.

With this in mind, he adjusted his mindset and told Fan Banruo, “Fellow Fan Taoist, don’t mind. I was just considering some things.”

Fan Banruo asked, “I don’t know where that demon cultivator is now?”

Gu Liuyun pointed to the west and said, “Three hundred miles away, in the Lonely Mountain Range.”

Fan Banruo approached and looked westward, remarking, “Three hundred miles… not too far. If we travel through the air, it should take about an hour.”

She then gracefully rose into the air. Gu Liuyun couldn’t help but reach for a bottle of mind power-restoring elixir, consume it, and prepare to use his sword control technique.

Fan Banruo happened to turn around in the air, and she witnessed Gu Liuyun hastily taking the elixir. She couldn’t help but be puzzled and asked, “Taoist Gu, what are you doing?”

Gu Liuyun paused and replied with a straight face, “I lack cultivation, so I’m taking medicine to compensate.”

Fan Banruo was momentarily surprised to notice that Gu Liuyun had only reached the Body Training Realm. She couldn’t hold back her laughter, realizing his forced serious expression was comical, and burst into laughter.
