Chapter 299 Buddha
"It's a pity that Old Yang didn't have a storage bag. Oh well, I hope it contains what I want."
Ye Kang sighed slightly, then poured in his true energy, forcibly dispelling the true energy restriction left by Elder Hu.
The storage bag was very small, almost the size of a large cabinet, and it was pitch black inside, nothing like the Moyu Ancient Treasure.
However, the room was crammed full of things. There were no gold, silver, or jade artifacts, of course, because a Grandmaster of the Lotus Realm no longer needed such mundane items.
Instead, there were several rhomboid crystals.
Ye Kang took out a piece that looked like a yellowish-brown jade stone, but it had been cut into a regular rhombus shape, yet it contained a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Ye Kang was slightly startled.
"System, what is this?"
【Ding】
[System Notification: Congratulations, host, you have obtained 11 low-grade spirit crystals]
[Spirit Crystal: A high-grade spirit-gathering ore that can be directly absorbed to replenish true qi, aiding cultivation. It can also be used to provide spiritual energy and is often used as a general equivalent for advanced martial artists. It has different attributes and levels.]
"Understood, the gold and silver of martial artists."
Ye Kang nodded and put the spirit crystal into the Moyu Ancient Treasure.
For those reclusive sects and grandmaster-level experts, gold and silver are of no use to them. The only things they can trade are precious plants and rare and precious materials.
Spirit crystals are useful for cultivation and easy to count, making them the most perfect equivalent.
Besides the spirit crystals, there were some miscellaneous items in the storage bag, none of which were of much use. However, a few pieces of ore used for refining weapons were quite good, and Ye Kang put them into his possession.
All that's left is a secret manual.
"Blazing Inferno Technique".
Ye Kang's breathing became heavier as he flipped through the manual.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Lotus Realm cultivation technique: Blazing Inferno Technique. Do you wish to comprehend it?]
Ye Kang, of course, wouldn't understand.
He needs the Lotus Realm cultivation technique, but not to learn it directly; rather, he wants to keep it as fusion material.
He currently possesses the "Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain Skill" given to him by Leng Wuqing, and the "Blazing Body Burning Technique".
Theoretically speaking, as long as his innate martial arts are perfected, he can activate the Furnace of Myriad Laws at any time and break through to the Lotus Realm.
But it's not enough.
At least we need to confirm whether the Gu Clan has a sequel to the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique before we can make a decision.
After collecting his spoils, Ye Kang also consumed a precious plant and began to heal his injuries, restoring his strength to its peak.
As for the group of innate martial artists below, they could only continue kneeling, their faces pale.
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in the four counties of Jiaozhou.
With a handwritten note from Qingyan in hand, Ran Zhou nervously entered a newly built, magnificent Buddhist temple.
"Please come in, benefactor. The Buddhist monk is waiting for you inside."
"Thank you."
Ran Zhou cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, displaying a very humble attitude.
He took a deep breath and entered a hall dedicated to Arhats.
A young monk with fair, jade-like skin, as exquisite as a jade carving, stood with his back to him, his palms clasped together, devoutly worshipping Buddha.
"Ran Zhou of the White Lotus Sect, acting on the orders of Vice Leader Qingyan, has come to pay his respects to the Ten Buddhas."
Ran Zhou knelt down immediately without the slightest hesitation.
The Ten Buddhas are masters of the Lotus Realm, even stronger than the Blue Eyes. Only by showing the utmost respect to them can one have a chance to survive.
Sure enough, the incredibly handsome young monk merely raised his eyelids and said in a gentle voice, "No need for formalities, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Tenth Buddha."
Ran Zhou sat down on the chair next to him and awkwardly handed over the letter in his hand.
The envelope burst into flames and turned to ashes the moment it appeared.
“I understand what you mean. Please tell your leader that once I have enlightened the people of Jiaozhou, I will set off for the White Lotus Sect to discuss plans for the salvation of the world.”
"Your Highness, the Master's idea is that we might as well deal with the Azure Scale Guards together first, thus weakening the Great Jin's power," Ran Zhou cautiously suggested.
The ten disciples turned around and met his gaze; their empty eyes revealed utter indifference.
"Are you working in the Buddhist Kingdom?"
"Don't dare!"
Ran Zhou was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, sweat dripping down his face. He wished he could slap himself twice for speaking up!
Ten Buddhas stared at him for a while, then said, "Very well, the Azure Scale Guards have also begun to take action. A fellow impersonating a Gu Clan member seized Jiaozhou City and killed the two Grandmasters I left behind."
"What! Could it be that Leng Wuqing has made a move?!"
Ran Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Two grandmasters were dead. What kind of combat power did the other side have?
However, Ten Buddhas shook their heads: "No, the other party is just a Xiantian martial artist."
"Are you kidding me? How could someone born with innate abilities possess a killing lotus?"
"I am also very curious about this question. If I am not mistaken, that person will soon come to reclaim the four counties of Jiaozhou."
"So, what are Your Highness's plans?"
“Naturally, we should teach him earnestly and guide him toward goodness. If he is truly unable to rid himself of his demonic nature, then we can only send him to the deepest hell to cleanse his sins.”
Upon hearing this, Ran Zhou chuckled twice, then stood up and took his leave.
The ten Buddhist disciples continued chanting and meditating. After a while, he suddenly radiated Buddhist light, and his gentle face gradually twisted, revealing a hint of madness.
"Why... are there always people who cannot understand the great aspirations of Buddhism? Who but Buddhism can alleviate the suffering of the world!"
After saying that, he walked into the inner room with a dark face.
There was a thin woman with a theatrical mask painted on her face, hanging from the roof beam, her breath faint.
The ten Buddhist disciples walked over and clasped their hands together in front of the woman.
"Well done, Miss Hua Dan, don't you Qinglin Guards know how to advance or retreat? Why do you have to provoke me at the most crucial moment?"
The woman named Hua Dan opened her eyes in confusion, then sneered, "Trying to trick me again? I've already said I know nothing. Kill me if you want, you bald monk."
“Very well, you stubborn fool. Then come with me and let me see if all of you Qinglin Guards are equally inflexible.”
Having said that, the Ten Buddhas waved their hands, and golden light transformed into a giant hand, which grabbed the woman in mid-air and walked out.
……
One day passed.
At the Chen family home, Chen Ziyu finally walked out of the room with a cold face.
The kneeling crowd trembled.
The old man has recovered!
Chen Ziyu glanced around, then suddenly waved his hand and slapped several innate masters into pieces before they could even react.
"These people not only change their allegiance to the wind, but also harm the Chen family members. They are worse than pigs and dogs! I will give you one more chance. Join me in surrendering to the Great Jin Dynasty. Otherwise, don't blame me for unleashing a massacre!"
The true energy swept across, and all the martial artists trembled and bowed their heads in fear.
Chen Ziyu had been the ruler of Jiaozhou for so many years, and with just a little bit of his power, he could instantly regain control of the situation.
He looked up at the roof beam.
The figure that had protected him all day had vanished.
"Did they really go to find the Buddha's disciple? As expected, both the Great Jin and the Buddhist Kingdom are madmen; not a single one of them is normal."
