[Finally, the young monk could not resist your temptation and successfully let you join the temple.
[In front of the Guanyin Temple…
[You knelt in front of the Guanyin statue without any pressure. Looking at the Guanyin holding the clear jade bottle in front of you, you could not help but laugh.
[Even in a Great World, the Guanyin’s cultivation level was probably on par with your real strength. In fact, it was not even as strong as yours.
[However, in this Small World, it was still uncertain whether there was a real Guanyin, let alone cultivation level.
[Still, a wise man submitted to circumstances. The current you was just an ordinary mortal.
[Why was it called ordinary? Because you really transmigrated as a mortal. In this body, you didn’t have the 10 abnormal talents that you had.
[With your current strength, you might not even be able to defeat a bandit.
[Monk Void’s tender little face said to you very seriously, “Benefactor, I’m going to shave my head for you now. If you regret it now, it’s still not too late.”
“I don’t regret it. I’m willing to join the temple and worship the Buddha…”
[Your eyes were full of appraisal, causing Monk Void to be a little dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen someone who was so sincere in bowing to Buddha.
[The following scene made your eyes widen.
[Monk Void’s hands emitted a faint golden light, and your mouth started chanting a mantra. Just by touching your head, all your hair fell off naturally.
[You touched your shiny bald head in disbelief and looked at the golden light on the young monk’s hands with a doubtful expression. Then, you looked at the Guanyin statue in front of you.
‘Damn! This Small World is one that one can actually cultivate…’
[You were immediately rendered speechless. You originally thought that this universe was just a simple mortal Small World. You did not expect that a mere young monk from a temple actually had… magic power….
[Monk Void said with a satisfied expression, “This penniless monk is taking in a disciple on behalf of my master today. From now on, you are my Junior Brother. Your Dharma name is Emptiness…”
[You were rendered speechless once again.]
…
[On the fourth day, early in the morning, Monk Void woke you up. You came to the main hall and focused on your morning lessons. As your Senior Brother, Monk Void took out a scripture book for you to study carefully.
[You looked at the unknown Buddhist Heart Sutra in your hand and did not know whether you should cultivate it or not.
[You had a lot of experience and had memorized all the Buddhist scriptures perfectly.
[You first read the unknown Buddhist scripture and found that it was indeed a cultivation technique. Perhaps you still had some of your talent, or it was not difficult to get started, so you only read it once, and a trace of Buddhist power was produced in your body.
[Listening to the sound of the wooden fish striking the void, you began to slowly recite those authentic Buddhist scriptures in your original world.
[In your mind, the widely circulated Buddhist scriptures were inferior to an ordinary cultivation technique in a Small or Intermediate World.
[Unfortunately, after repeated experiments, you found out that you were thinking too much.
[The Buddhist scriptures you recited were actually useless in this world.
[Feeling helpless, you began to focus on cultivating the unknown Buddhist scripture in your hands.
[Soon, the morning lesson ended. The Buddhist power in your body was full. Although it wasn’t much, it made your body a lot stronger.
“Emptiness, you should go fetch water,” Monk Void said to you happily. Originally, he was the only one in the temple, so he had to do all the work himself.
[Now that a Junior Brother like you had appeared, he would naturally instruct you to do the work.
[You didn’t refuse but obediently walked to the backyard and looked at the water tank that was even bigger than the two of you. You couldn’t help but secretly click your tongue.
‘This water tank is too big…’
[Looking at the two small wooden buckets in your hands, you calculated that it would take at least 20 buckets to fill up the water tank.
[Although the water source was not very far from the temple, it would take an hour for a normal person to go back and forth.
‘Doesn’t that mean that I need to run back and forth for more than 10 hours to fill the water tank?’
[You could not help but widen your eyes. You did not know why the temple had such a large water tank when there was only one monk.
[Although you were very dissatisfied, you still had to do what you had promised.
[After all, you came here to simulate the situation in order to obtain a high-score reward. If you were to fail in such a simple Small World and your cultivation declined, you might as well find a piece of tofu and beat yourself to death.
[After that, you picked up two wooden buckets and began your first day of work in the temple.
[Although the job of fetching water was very simple, you only worked until the afternoon to fill the huge water tank. Finally, you heard Monk Void’s voice.
“Emptiness, come and eat…”
[You looked at the sun that was about to set, and then you remembered that you hadn’t eaten today.
[After hearing that you could eat, you finally felt hungry. Although it was just a simple steamed bun meal, you still felt good.
[Seeing that you had stuffed three buns in your mouth, Monk Void hurriedly grabbed your hand that was holding the last bun and said with some embarrassment, “The temple doesn’t have much money and food, to begin with. Usually, I only eat one meal a day and one bun per meal. Junior Brother, you eat too much…”
[After saying that, he threw the last bun in his mouth, afraid that you would snatch it away from him.
[You were rendered speechless. Such a big temple was actually so poor that Monk Void only ate one meal per day.
‘Didn’t they say that those who practice Buddhism are very rich?’
[After eating the only meal of the day, you headed to the main hall with Monk Void to recite the scriptures. The Buddhist power in your body had already been used up during this day.
[It was also because of the Buddhist power that you could fill the water tank with water as a mortal.
[Therefore, you were still very serious about cultivation.
[The truth was just as you had imagined. The Buddhist power that you had been cultivating for the whole morning had already reached the limit of what your body could hold.
[After a day of fetching water, the Buddhist power was exhausted and condensed again. The Buddhist energy in your body was once again stronger than before.
[It was a good thing to be able to cultivate. You started to work without complaint and became a young monk in this temple.
[On the fifth day, because only half of the water in the water tank had been used up, you only used three hours to fill the water tank. Then, you started to sit cross-legged in the main hall and concentrate on chanting scriptures. The Buddhist power in your body was still increasing rapidly.
[Looking at the faint Buddhist light rising outside your body, Monk Void was stunned.
“I couldn’t help but humor a guess. Could it be that this Junior Brother of mine is the reincarnation of Buddha?”
[On the sixth day, because Monk Void had to clean the temple and scrub the statue, the water in the water tank was used up. You still felt that it was afternoon before the water tank was filled up. Just as you and Monk Void were about to eat, there was a knock on the door outside the temple.]
