Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"No more talking now."

Zhao Xin said, "Uncle Hui Chi, time for some fervent Charitable Giving!"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei nodded, wrapping his arms around Zhao Xin. He kissed her elegant back and said, "Xin’er, you’re the one who said it."

「The next day.」

When Xu Lei awoke, the sun was already up, its light streaming through the window.

Zhao Xin was no longer in the room.

They had been together all day yesterday, from morning until night.

She had been incredibly wild.

Afterward, they had both fallen asleep.

Xu Lei didn’t even know when Zhao Xin had left.

However, when he stepped out of his room, one of the Daoist Temple’s ordinary disciples told him that Zhao Xin had left special instructions that morning to have a hot vegetarian meal prepared and waiting for him.

Xu Lei ate two bowls of congee before heading down the mountain.

Since Zhao Xin had already gone into seclusion with Jingchun, Xu Lei naturally had no reason to remain at the Daoist Temple.

He was a Monk, after all.

His status in this Daoist Temple was merely that of a guest.

He prepared to return to his monastery.

「Several hours later.」

Xu Lei descended the mountain.

On his way down, he didn’t immediately put on the Human Skin Mask.

Otherwise, if someone were to notice him putting it on, the mask itself would be exposed.

Xu Lei didn’t want that to happen.

So he usually waited until he was in a city.

He’d find a chaotic place, crowded with people and prying eyes, and then put it on when no one was looking.

Everything went smoothly.

He put on the Human Skin Mask and altered his appearance.

Then he went about the city, openly eating meat and drinking fine wine.

Only then did he take off the Human Skin Mask and return to his monastery, once again traveling under the identity of Hui Chi.

The rest of the journey was uneventful; nothing out of the ordinary occurred.

He didn’t even run into a single Demon Spirit.

Now that he was traveling with Hui Chi’s face, Xu Lei knew there was a chance the three remaining Enchantresses could find him.

Because on the day they had hacked him to pieces, he had first hidden his Human Skin Mask before they caught up to him.

However, at the time, after hiding the mask, Xu Lei had also smeared some dust on his face.

’I wonder if that concealed my features at all?’

Furthermore, using his own face back then, he hadn’t fled for long before the strongest Male Enchantress, Mei Xiong, had thrown a large rock at him.

It had knocked him out of the sky and smashed his face.

Therefore, Xu Lei didn’t know if they remembered what he looked like.

’They might vaguely remember, or they might not remember at all.’

Besides, they were the ones who had personally hacked him to pieces.

’So even if they saw me now, they wouldn’t necessarily connect me to the person they chopped into bits.’

’They’d probably just assume I was someone who looked a lot like him.’

Of course, it was also possible they would grow suspicious and follow him if they happened to run into him now.

In fact, during his journey back to the monastery, Xu Lei had been hoping a Demon Spirit would come looking for trouble.

After all, he had the Locust Leaf Flying Ship, so his ability to escape was quite strong.

His Power was now greater than before, which meant the flying ship was also faster.

So if a Demon Spirit came looking for trouble, Xu Lei was confident he could escape.

Then he could wait for an opportunity to counter-attack and kill it.

But unfortunately, none came.

The three Enchantresses didn’t show up.

And he didn’t see any other Demon Spirits either.

But that was to be expected.

After Xu Lei’s last killing spree, the three remaining Enchantresses were likely scared out of their wits.

They probably wouldn’t dare to casually enter a Mortal City anymore.

As for the other Demon Spirits, most of them also lay low and moved with stealth.

Those who dared to hunt the hunters were few and far between.

After returning to the monastery, Xu Lei cultivated for another three days.

But his progress remained slow; he still hadn’t broken through to the next Great Realm.

Just as Xu Lei was resigning himself to a long, patient wait for the day he would finally break through this Realm...

Unexpectedly, on this day, a dark-faced, slightly stooped old farmer suddenly arrived at the monastery.

He claimed that in his family’s fruit orchard, on a mountain in the countryside, some strange things had been happening, and he suspected a Demon Spirit was causing trouble.

So he had come to the monastery to ask for help.

He hoped a high-ranking monk could help him vanquish the demon.

Xu Lei was naturally pleased by the prospect of finding a Demon Spirit.

However, as he watched the old farmer’s eyes flicker shiftily, a bad feeling crept over him.

After all, Hui Cheng had nearly gotten him killed. Because of that, he was far more wary of "Demon Spirit" incidents that came knocking on his door than he had been when he first started his Cultivation.

Of course, Xu Lei didn’t immediately turn hostile or say anything vicious.

He simply said he could introduce other high-ranking monks from the monastery to go instead.

"I wonder if you might know Zen Master Hui Chi?"

Hearing Xu Lei’s offer, the old farmer’s expression shifted slightly. He said hurriedly, "This old one has heard that your esteemed monastery’s Zen Master Hui Chi possesses profound Magical Power and vast Divine Power."

"I was wondering if I could ask him to help catch the demon?"

"Oh?"

Xu Lei asked directly, "Elder Benefactor, who did you hear this from?"

"I heard it from—"

The old farmer said, "A Wandering Monk... But at the time, that Zen Master didn’t mention his Buddhist name."

"Amitabha Buddha. I see."

Xu Lei nodded. "Actually, Elder Benefactor, this humble Monk is Hui Chi."

"Ah?"

Startled, the old farmer immediately kowtowed. "So you are Zen Master Hui Chi? I beg you, save my whole family!"

"Benefactor, please rise."

Xu Lei said, "The Buddha is merciful. When encountering such matters, a monk cannot simply stand by and do nothing.

"Rest assured, this humble Monk will take care of it. It’s just that my hands have been tied recently.
