I don't know what you plan to do after this trip to Tianyin Temple, but if you want to cultivate and become stronger, you still need to overcome the hurdles of cultivating Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism!
"What will you do in the future? Practice the demonic arts?"
Zhang Xiaofan was bewildered; Li Qingan's words left his mind blank.
Just as Zhang Xiaofan was still in a daze...
Li Qingan made no attempt to conceal his purpose and continued.
"To be honest, Xiao Fan, I want you to get your hands on the third volume of the Heavenly Book from Tianyin Temple! That's my personal motive. Also, I want you to get the second volume of the Heavenly Book from the Demonic Sect..."

Chapter 112 Scheming with the Heavenly Book! The two open their hearts to each other!
After Li Qing'an finished speaking, he paused for a few moments but did not continue.
"The Heavenly Book, Volume Three!"
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes. Under Li Qingan's influence over the past five years, he had also attached great importance to cultivation.
Moreover, he felt the benefits that the first volume of the Heavenly Book had brought him.
However, he still didn't speak. Even with the calming mantra, the mere mention of those monks made him feel a fierce aura invading his mind.
Li Qing'an hesitated for a few moments before finally revealing his idea of having Zhang Xiaofan infiltrate the Demonic Sect.
A cook going undercover? Forget it!
At worst, he could trade the first volume of the Heavenly Book with the Ghost King later. Anyway, even if he did, Li Qing'an was absolutely confident in suppressing him.
However, he didn't want to talk about it now, and Zhang Xiaofan could also sense that Li Qingan was hiding something.
Zhang Xiaofan silently recited the calming mantra again to suppress the fierce energy rising in his heart, then turned to ask, "Senior brother, are you trying to say that the Demonic Sect's Heavenly Book is beneficial to me?"
"Correct!"
Li Qingan hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak again: "However, that heavenly book is in the hands of Wan Renwang, and it is extremely difficult to obtain!"
"Most importantly, you cultivate the Great Brahma Prajna and possess the Bloodthirsty Pearl, a supreme treasure of the Demonic Sect. Within the Qingyun Sect, you are likely to..."
What Li Qingan said was true. You should know that Zhang Xiaofan himself almost suffered internal strife after cultivating the first volume of the Heavenly Book and wielding the Demonic Sect's supreme treasure.
If it weren't for his unwavering resolve, he would probably have fallen into demonic possession under the influence of the Bloodthirsty Bead long ago. Not to mention that most disciples in the Qingyun Sect viewed the Demonic Sect as bandits, even if Zhang Xiaofan didn't cultivate voluntarily, he would still face criticism from the disciples within the sect.
It's hard to stay in the Qingyun Sect.
Say it.
Zhang Xiaofan immediately understood Li Qingan's meaning. His face turned pale, and he lowered his head, thinking to himself, "Does this mean I have to leave Qingyun Sect?"
Just as Zhang Xiaofan was deep in thought, a flash of inspiration struck him.
It suddenly occurred to me that Li Qing'an's desire for the third volume of the Heavenly Book might stem from his desire to complete the entire Heavenly Book collection, while the Demonic Sect possesses the second volume, and he can no longer remain in the Qingyun Sect...
"Xiao Fan, actually I have an idea."
"Senior brother, do you want the second volume of the Heavenly Book?"
After a brief silence, the two spoke at the same time.
The two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the moment when Zhang Xiaofan first entered Dazhu Peak.
"Xiao Fan, you have the Bloodthirsty Bead. I want you to infiltrate the Demonic Sect and try to get the second volume of the Heavenly Book. It will be of great use to both you and me!" Li Qing'an said slowly.
"Furthermore, I need some books from the Demonic Sect for my cultivation. Let's see if they can inspire me to study formations!"
"Senior brother, I'll go!"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded, then voiced his concerns: "But I don't know how to infiltrate! And the Demonic Sect is supposed to kill people, right?"
Over the years, he had always believed that Li Qing'an had been incredibly kind to him, and if he could help Li Qing'an obtain the second volume of the Heavenly Book and the other books, the trip would not have been in vain!
However, it's probably not feasible for him to kill someone without cause.
"Just kill members of the Demonic Cult. I've heard that the Ghost King Sect has a good reputation among the Demonic Cults, unlike the Blood Refining Hall and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which are much more vicious!"
"And I will find a way to ensure that your Ghost King Sect will not have too many obstacles!"
As Li Qing'an spoke, he thought of the two women, You Ji and Bi Yao.
The matter of Zhang Xiaofan still needs to be addressed by starting with them. He began to regret not holding back against the Ghost King Sect at Liubo Mountain, and also regretted not getting along well with that little girl Biyao before!
'When the Demonic Sect attacks the mountain, we might have to hold back. Let's see who's the first to stick their neck out!' Li Qing'an thought to himself.
As for whether Zhang Xiaofan could join the Demonic Sect, he wasn't worried at all.
Given the Ghost King's ruthless nature, his first reaction to such a promising talent would not be to destroy him, but to change his mind and make him loyal to the Demonic Sect. This would require making Zhang Xiaofan devoted to the Demonic Sect.
The process of winning hearts requires bestowing grace!
This series of processes is what Zhang Xiaofan was doing.
As for whether Zhang Xiaofan would completely integrate into the Demonic Sect, Li Qing'an felt there was no need to even consider that question.
His subtle teaching over the past five years, coupled with Zhang Xiaofan's original personality, contributed to this.
The probability that Zhang Xiaofan would completely join the Demonic Sect is equal to the purity of a certain Tang-surnamed Blue Silver Emperor!
It is approximately equal to zero!
Zhang Xiaofan listened attentively, but there was still a hint of melancholy in his eyes, after all, he didn't know when he would be able to return!
After giving his instructions, Li Qingan glanced at Zhang Xiaofan's expression and knew his worries.
Make your promise!
"Xiao Fan, don't worry about whether you can come back. I will inform my senior master that after this Tianyin Temple incident, I will leave Dazhu Peak and establish the eighth branch of Qingyun Sect! I will bring you back then!"
"The Eighth Meridian?"
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, but then he was happy for Li Qingan.
He believed that Li Qingan wouldn't lie to him, and that he could return to Qingyun Sect.
"Come on, I'll take you to tell the sect leader now that this matter still needs his approval!"
Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Hall
"You mean you want Zhang Xiaofan to infiltrate the Demonic Sect?" A hint of interest flashed in Dao Xuan's eyes.
When the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect plotted against him through Cangsong, Dao Xuan knew he needed to increase the number of spies within the Demonic Sect. The century of peace had made the sect complacent.
He could even leave Xiao Yicai behind and send him to walk a tightrope for the Demonic Sect, let alone Zhang Xiaofan.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaofan's ability to go undercover is simply exceptional.
Even a single Bloodlust Bead could attract countless demonic sects to beg him to join.
"Zhang Xiaofan, what's your opinion?" Dao Xuan asked, looking at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath. He knew that if it was confirmed, then there was no other way but to continue.
"Sect Master, I am willing!"
Zhang Xiaofan then replied.
"There's another problem. If you go to the Demonic Sect, they will definitely make you practice their methods. You're already practicing both Buddhism and Taoism. What will happen if you add another method from the Demonic Sect?" Dao Xuan asked again when Zhang Xiaofan nodded.
The matter of the Dharma is the easiest point for an undercover agent to be exposed. It is definitely not acceptable for Zhang Xiaofan to join the Demonic Sect without practicing the Demonic Sect's Dharma.
However, by practicing the demonic arts, Zhang Xiaofan would be combining the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and demonism into one, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.
Therefore, he naturally needed to explain the pros and cons clearly.
Only then did Li Qing'an suddenly remember that he hadn't told Dao Xuan about the Heavenly Book since returning from Liubo Mountain. He had originally planned to tell Dao Xuan at the Ancestral Temple, but after learning that he was going to become the head of the Eighth Lineage, he forgot about it.
Li Qing'an chuckled dryly a few times and said, "Sect Master, I discovered a stone wall in the Abyss of the Dead, called the First Volume of the Heavenly Book. I also remember that the Taiji Xuanqing Dao was also comprehended by our ancestor from a stone wall..."
A moment later, Li Qingan finished his story!
"Do Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism share the same origin?" Dao Xuan murmured, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
He learns things extremely quickly!
Another genius, and a genius who can break the mold.
Dao Xuan felt that after a few days, he would be reluctant to coerce the disciples of Tianyin Temple.
The disciple I took in out of compassion for Qingyun Sect has such a pleasant surprise.
"You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"
After regaining his senses, Dao Xuan looked at Li Qing'an again.
It's fine if the higher-ups know about this, but it won't do any good for the lower-ranking disciples to know.
Although it is said that we have learned a truth about the world.
However, this can lead to a lack of unity and is detrimental to solidarity!
"I haven't told anyone else; only three people know about it right now!"
Li Qingan replied, "Does the sect leader need the first volume of this Heavenly Book?"
Li Qingan took the initiative to ask, as he hadn't taken anything from the sect leader's treasure vault in a long time and felt a bit nostalgic.
"After the Tianyin Temple incident, you can go to the treasure vault and take some things, but not too many."
Dao Xuan knew from Li Qing'an's expression that he was about to suffer a major financial loss, and nodded.
"Zhang Xiaofan, now that you've made your decision, regardless of whether you succeed or not, Qingyun Sect welcomes you back. Take care and stay safe."
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Xiaofan was so moved that he burst into tears.
Li Qingan watched quietly; it was just a common tactic used by those in power to win people's hearts!
It's just like a boss making empty promises in a past life.
It's just that Zhang Xiaofan is too young and easily fooled. If it were him, he could at least get something out of Dao Xuan.
