Chapter 771: Fallen For Ye Zhen’s Tricks?
Lu Zhou felt as though he had just woken up from a deep nap. There was a sense of disorientation as though his surroundings had changed. The unfamiliarity of the Thousand Willow Monastery and the night skies intensified this feeling. After a moment, he gradually recovered, and the feeling faded away.
When everything returned to normal, he raised his hand.
The half chunk of crystal was instantly reduced to dust.
"Ding! Found the remaining memory crystal. Reward: 5,000 merit points."
Lu Zhou sighed as he placed his hands on his back, recalling the newly-restored memories that came with many questions.
"The unknown land… Pills that alter one’s bodily constitution… Luo Xuan…" Lu Zhou muttered to himself.
After sifting through the memories, he discovered there was a reason why Ji Tiandao managed to become the greatest villain in Great Yan. He was also shocked by the memory of the black lotus; Ji Tiandao had been shocked as well. At that time, Ji Tiandao did not know much about the Fiend Zen. Whether it was the Fiend Zen or the Buddhist Zen, the fruit of cultivation was supposed to be a black Golden Body, not the avatar. The lotus was black. Why did it appear in the unknown land? Was it a coincidence? No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not come up with an answer. Similarly, Ji Tiandao did not have the answer as well.
‘Forget it. I should raise my cultivation base. The truth will be revealed sooner or later.’
Lu Zhou crossed his legs and sat down. He was about to enter his meditative state when he heard footsteps approaching. "Who’s there?"
"Xia Changqiu."
"What is it?"
"I saw candlelight in your courtyard, Senior Lu, so I came over to have a look. The Ninth Temple’s Sikong Beichen has sent a letter. He intended to visit the Thousand Willow Monastery, but you weren’t in. Hence, I sent a reply and told him to visit another day. Would you like to reject the request?" Xia Changqiu asked.
"Tell him to come tomorrow," Lu Zhou said.
"Alright. Rest well, Senior Lu," Xia Changqiu said before he turned and left.
Lu Zhou checked the system dashboard.

If it were not for the Nascent Divinity cultivators who pursued him, his trip to Flying Star House would have been a loss. Fortunately, he managed to retrieve his memory crystal.
"Perhaps, Ye Zhen concealed his cultivation base…" Lu Zhou thought about Ye Zhen again. He could not help feeling that something was amiss due to how smooth everything went.
Lu Zhou flipped his palm. The Golden Taixu Mirror materialized in his hand. This item was capable of reflecting the true form of all creations. He made a note to use it if he were to encounter similar situations in the future.
Then, he brought a Shining Stone out. When he tossed it out, flames surged out from it. Then, he threw the Golden Taixu Mirror into the tongues of flames.
