Benefactor Xiao, You Must Be Fated with My Buddha

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Out of curiosity, Xiao Chen also followed them into the courtyard.

The two sides of the courtyard are larger than expected.

Apart from a row of green bamboos planted along the walls, there are no other landscapes or buildings on the left and right sides.

The people sitting cross-legged on the stone slab were all casual cultivators with different cultivation levels, at least a thousand of them!

On the far left, a young Arhat wearing Moon White Monk Robe, holding a Wooden Fish in his hand, was walking, knocking and chanting.

"Buddha tells Ananda all sentient beings."

"Since beginningless time, there have been all kinds of inversions, and the karma is naturally like Evil Fork Cluster..."

His voice was not high-pitched, it could even be said that he was mumbling to himself.

If someone passes by the door, they can only hear the crisp Wooden Fish sound, but never the content of the scripture.

But the sound of chanting could clearly fall into the ears of every monk present.

Even if Xiao Chen was standing at the door, he could still hear it clearly and without missing a word.

If he was the only one here, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But considering that there are more than a thousand people present, just being able to do this represents extremely terrifying real energy manipulation and control.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no point in standing at the door. Hurry up and sit here."

Suddenly, a very low reminder came from the right.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw a thin old man with goat eyebrows and a mustache sitting in the last row, waving to him.

At the same time, he gestured with his eyes to go over and sit in the vacant seat next to him.

"Hey, it's not right for you to sit like this. You have to sit like this like us."

Seeing Xiao Chen sitting cross-legged, the thin old man reminded quietly again, "Put your left foot on your right leg and your right foot on your left leg."

"It works the other way around, but your feet can't touch the ground."

"They call this the cross-legged sitting position. Only those who do this can receive Spirit Fruit in the end."

"There was a young man yesterday who didn't understand the rules and ended up catching nothing."

Huh?

Xiao Chen adjusted his sitting position and asked quietly curiously, "Spirit Fruit, what Spirit Fruit?"

He actually already had a guess in his mind, but he still needed to verify it.

"Hey, there's nothing to be secretive about."

The thin old man smiled and subconsciously stretched out his hand to twist his mustache, "Of all the people here, there is no one who came here just to get Spirit Fruit. There is nothing hard to admit."

"Do you think there are really people here just to listen to them preach Buddhist scriptures?"

"Humph, who has that spare time?"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Chen looked around again.

Sure enough, we found that only the monks in the first two rows were listening intently to the meaning of the scriptures.

Many monks at the back seemed to be listening carefully to the scriptures, but in fact they had long been distracted.

He asked why there were so many casual practitioners coming to the Buddhist Sect to listen to the sutras.

There is also a layer of collar Spirit Fruit inside the book.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, when Long-Eared Bhikkhu comes over later, let's testify to each other."

The thin old man waited patiently until the young man Arhat turned around and walked to the left again, and then he spoke again, "Just say that we will be here in the afternoon."

Good guy, that's what it's for.

Xiao Chen said, why did he want to drag him over if he was so good?

But he shook his head slightly. "I would like to help you, but I'm afraid it's not possible because people are watching over there."

The thin old man raised his eyebrows. "Oh, you are just too honest. There are so many monks here, how can they remember it so clearly?"

In fact, what he said is right.

There are more than a thousand monks here, and they all seem to be strangers attracted by Spirit Fruit. It's really hard to tell them apart.

But that's for ordinary monks.

However, Xiao Chen is currently in the Compassion Sea. Not only is he well known to everyone, he is definitely not an unknown person.

It was normal for this thin old man not to recognize him. After all, the casual cultivator had little Intelligence Network and could not obtain enough accurate information in a timely manner.

But Great Powers, his portrait must have spread widely.

Maybe you've also seen Memory Stone, which records the battle in the ring.

In fact, Xiao Chen's guess was correct. As soon as he entered the door, the two Arhats in the yard immediately spotted him.

Just one person was busy preaching Buddhist scriptures, and the other person was hiding in the back hall to maintain the amplification array.

I just couldn't care less about him for the moment.

"Fellow Daoist, please listen to the scriptures. I have other things to be busy with, so I will leave first."

Xiao Chen smiled, and in the surprised eyes of the thin old man, he stood up and left directly.

He only came in because he was curious.

But I don't have time to stay here and pretend to be in order to receive a not-so-valuable Spirit Fruit.

If it were a normal day, Xiao Chen wouldn't mind staying and getting to know Buddhist Sect better.

But now that New Ruin is about to start, he has other things to prepare for first.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Xiao, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

However, right at the door, an old monk wearing a red Zen robe came at an unknown time and said, "Buddha delivers the destined person."

"Lao Na observes that Benefactor Xiao should be destined to be my Buddha."

The other party smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you come to the back hall to talk about it, see through Sea of Bitterness, and clearly discern your true intentions."

What a fate!

Xiao Chen waved his hand and decisively refused. "No, I don't have time."

Hearing this answer, the old monk showed a sad look on his face. "Oh, you are obsessed with the world of mortals. Benefactor Xiao You are blinded by the demonic barrier. Your clear mind is already covered in dust."

"If you cannot wake up in time and cultivate your body, you may only sink into Sea of Bitterness and be trapped in reincarnation in the future."

What he said was True Intention, just like the truth.

But the question is where is this going?

Xiao Chen can't understand what he is talking about at all.

There is no magic barrier to blind your eyes, why did you sink Sea of Bitterness? You must not be planning to sell Buddhist Artifact that I have opened.

He firmly refused. "I don't believe this, so leave!"

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Benefactor Xiao, please allow me to give you one last piece of advice."

The old monk clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name first. "Amitabha, the donor possesses the body of Spiritual Root. It's time for you to take refuge in our sect. Don't persist in your stubbornness, or you will regret it too late in the future."

"It should be noted that Sea of Bitterness is boundless, and there is always a chance to return!"

After saying that, he took the initiative to take a step back.

When he said this, Xiao Chen finally understood.

To put it bluntly, they have taken a fancy to themselves and want to recruit them into their group. It's as simple as that.

In essence, it is the same as the previous World Crossing Assembly Bandit Cultivator, which is poaching, recruiting people, and expanding the number of its own Golden Core cultivator.

He also used words like sinking Sea of Bitterness and being trapped in reincarnation to scare himself.

Damn it, who are you trying to scare?

The target of Xiao Chen is Ascend to Immortality, Long Sight, Long Life.

He immediately walked away without hesitation.

I turned around and went to the Spirit Communication Pavilion on the next street, ready to buy some information about the ruins.

"Do you have any more reliable information?"

Xiao Chen looked at Collection of Rumors in his hand, somewhat speechless. "I can add money!"

He was about to go to the ruins, and he really didn't want to analyze and judge the truth from these stories.

The steward opposite shook his head, Spirit Communication Pavilion never sells reliable information.

This is the reason why they can survive in Great Powers.

However, he provided a relatively reliable suggestion. "If you have acquaintances, you should be able to get the latest information from major chambers of commerce."

The major chambers of commerce are also here?

After his reminder, Xiao Chen immediately came outside the store, and sure enough, he found the Chamber of Commerce compound that had been built not far away.

Of course Jade Leaf Commerce Association is also indispensable.

Although the temporary courtyard is not luxurious, the various sculptures and ornaments in the courtyard are quite exquisite.

As soon as he entered the door, an attendant greeted him, "Welcome, senior, please come to the backyard!"

Follow the other party to the back, where simple small rooms have been separated.

Although it is not as good as the Quiet Room that Xiao Chen has seen before, in a place like this, it can definitely be called elegant.

"Senior, please take a break. The steward will be here soon."

Help push the hut open, the attendant bows and is about to leave.

Xiao Chen called him directly, "Wait a minute, let me ask you, does your chamber of commerce have any appraisers coming with you this time? Who is it?"

Come here, I just happen to have a strange Storage Ring in my hand.

It just so happens that you can make an appraisal while inquiring about information.

The attendant immediately replied, "Back to senior, here are Master Kuang, Master Qi and Master Liu."

Isn't this a coincidence?

Xiao Chen immediately asked, "But Kuang Ruihong Fellow Daoist Kuang?"

The other party nodded. "Exactly."

Xiao Chen immediately ordered, "Please ask him to come over."

The attendant immediately responded, "I understand, little one."

I wonder if I am too busy with work.

After waiting for about half an hour, Kuang Ruihong arrived belatedly. "Oh, I just received help from a friend in the afternoon and was surrounded by the Sea Fish group."

"I just rushed back from outside the island and kept Daoist Xiao waiting for a long time."

Compared to the last time we met, he had a Spiritual Qi aura floating around him, and it really looked like he had just done something.

It seems that there are quite a few monks who have been attacked by the Sea Fish group.

"Of course it's important to save people."

Xiao Chen didn't care about this, but took out the Storage Ring: "I would like to trouble fellow Daoist to help me take a look at this thing."

Kuang Ruihong first took out a small flag and waved it.

Immediately, a Spiritual Power Barrier rose up, completely surrounding the hut.

He took out another pair of Silk Gloves and put them on, then took the ring and began to observe it carefully.

"Hey, this thing?"

He frowned slightly, and there was a flash of inspiration in his eyes, which seemed to activate some kind of Law Technique.

Immediately afterwards, Kuang Ruihong pinched Method Formula with his hand, and immediately there were two lines of true energy on the left and one on the right, like two smart little snakes, wrapped around the ring and got into it.

Immediately he closed his eyes directly.

"Hi~, it's really an exquisite design!"

After almost half a quarter of an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and said with emotion, "I have seen all kinds of Storage Ring in my life."

"But this is the first time for such a special Storage Ring."

Xiao Chen heard this and immediately asked, "There really is Profound Mystery in this Storage Ring?"

Kuang Ruihong nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever seen the Yin Yang Pot used to hold wine?"

"This Storage Ring is similar to it, with two completely different spaces inside."

"Not only is it separated by a powerful restriction, but it is also specially shielded. It is absolutely impossible to open it with ordinary methods, and it is impossible to see what's inside."

That's right!

Xiao Chen said that when he first cracked it, he felt that the restrictions above were extremely complicated and it took him a lot of time.

As a result, the space inside was strangely small and there was nothing there.

He continued to ask, "Then what should I do to open another space?"

Kuang Ruihong stretched out two fingers. "There are two ways to crack it."

"The first way to crack it is to find a Formation Master, carefully study the structure of the ban, and reversely deduce the opening method."

"According to my experience, it will take about half a year for the above restrictions to be lifted."

Half a year?

Xiao Chen Of course I don't want to wait that long. "Is there another way that can be faster?"

Kuang Ruihong nodded. "The second cracking method is very fast."

"But it will cause irreparable damage to the ring's restriction."

"From now on, Divine Sense cannot be shielded or refined, which is equivalent to destroying this Storage Ring."

Xiao Chen decided without hesitation. "This is the way!"

He didn't lack Storage Ring, but he was more interested in the contents inside. "Please also ask fellow Daoist to teach me what I should do to lift the restriction."

In fact, normally, this link of cracking should be completed by Kuang Ruihong.

After all, this is how people make money.

But considering that Bronze Mask Cultivator's identity was suspicious, Xiao Chen was a little worried about letting others see what was inside.

"This... this is our Family Secret Method."

Kuang Ruihong looked troubled. "Under normal circumstances, it is not passed on to outsiders."

When he said 'general circumstances', he added emphasis.

Xiao Chen understood immediately. "This Storage Ring involves some secrets, please help me, fellow Daoist."

"There's nothing I can do, but it doesn't hurt to talk."

Kuang Ruihong reached out and took out a pamphlet. "I don't have any other wishes. It's just that I'm old and can't worry about my family."

"As long as fellow Daoist agrees to me, if he can do what he can, he can help take care of her a little bit."

"The method to crack it is in this book."

As a senior appraiser, Kuang Ruihong is very experienced in similar things.

In this life, he has seen many different monks bringing things from different sources for him to identify.

Therefore, he had learned a long time ago never to ask about the origin of things.

For example, why is it that Xiao Chen took the ring, but he was asked to provide a way to crack it?

In addition, he also specially carried a booklet with Secret Method recorded on it to facilitate the conclusion of the transaction.

"Is this just a condition?"

Xiao Chen is a bit suspicious. Secret Method, which is said not to be passed on to outsiders, was sold so easily?

"Of course, as the saying goes, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

Kuang Ruihong answered simply, "I am willing to believe in the character of fellow Daoist."

In fact, it is not true. If someone else comes, there will naturally be a different price, and even the same person will have different circumstances.

If this happened before the auction.

Kuang Ruihong will directly reject Xiao Chen's request on the grounds that Family Secret Method cannot be leaked.

If it was before Eight Directions Arena, he would ask for a large amount of hush money.

But now, he chose to ask for a favor for Lineage.

But don't think that a verbal promise with limitations on what you can do is of no use.

The real value of this thing does not lie in its use.

At least in the opinion of Kuang Ruihong, given the situation of Xiao Chen, there is a high probability that Nascent Soul True Lord can be achieved in the future.

At that time, as long as you can say something to take care of the Kuang Family, you don't have to take the initiative to do anything. Kuang Family will naturally benefit endlessly.

"It's easy to say, then I would like to thank fellow Daoist Secret Technique."

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement and took the pamphlet. "By the way, does Fellow Daoist Kuang know about the situation of New Ruin?"

Kuang Ruihong frowned. "I don't know much about this."

"Diviner previously calculated that this ruins is likely to come from Ancient Times, and the opening time will be tomorrow night."

"But because it was so long ago, there are no clear records."

"In addition, there are some rumors circulating in the market, but I'm afraid they may not be taken seriously."

Regarding Xiao Chen, no one has any additional information, which is actually good news.

He stood up and said goodbye, "In this case, I will take my leave and there is no need to send you far away."

Kuang Ruihong took out the small flag to release the formation and said politely, "Fellow Daoist, walk slowly."

However, when he opened the door of the hut, he saw a fat, middle-aged monk standing outside.

"Shopkeeper Qian, why are you here?"

Kuang Ruihong was a little surprised, and immediately introduced, "Well, this is Shopkeeper Qian from our chamber of commerce, who is responsible for running the store outside the ruins this time."

The middle-aged monk smiled, "Haha, Daoist Xiao is an honored guest."

"Since you're here, you should be treated well."

"This time the ruins are opened, Drunken Spring Courtyard has also moved to the island."

He took a step forward and handed over a token. "I just got a Joy Union Token and Daoist Xiao yesterday. If you are interested, you might as well give it a try."

Shopkeeper Qian naturally heard about what happened to Eight Directions Arena before.

So he waited at the door specially, just to get closer.

The difference is that based on his past experience, he chose to start with beauty.

"Well, there's no need for this. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and refused directly.

"Daoist Xiao, a new White Fox arrived yesterday. It is truly stunning in the world. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Shopkeeper Qian still wants to stay.

However, Xiao Chen took a big step away from the Jade Leaf Commerce Association.

White Fox will only affect my speed of cracking Storage Ring.

I found an inn to stay and opened all kinds of Defensive Formation.

Xiao Chen opened the booklet directly and studied the method to crack it.

This method itself is not complicated. After all, its essence is to directly destroy all the restrictions in Storage Ring while protecting things from damage.

Therefore, as long as you read it once, you can directly start practicing step by step.

Four hours later.

Xiao Chen carefully manipulated the true essence to erase the last layer of restrictions on Storage Ring.

Following an explosion of dazzling spiritual light, a large number of runes originally engraved in Storage Ring began to disintegrate and break layer by layer.

In the next quarter of an hour, the entire Storage Ring will disintegrate.

At this time, there is no need to practice, Xiao Chen and Divine Sense can directly poke into it, check and take out the things inside.

He immediately dumped all the items out, filling up half the room.

The largest number among them is naturally the huge piles of Spirit Stone.

Xiao Chen's neck was almost submerged.

After careful calculation, there were actually 1,294,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone, and 5,680 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

"Carrying so many Spirit Stone with you?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised, such a situation is rare.

Putting aside his special case, the Cloud Wave Sword Abode True Disciple I picked up in the Cangran Secret Realm only brought more than 300,000 yuan Spirit Stone.

And you should know that Sword Abode True Disciple already belongs to the relatively wealthy group.

Although most Golden Core cultivator can earn a lot of Spirit Stone, they either scrape things together to prepare Spirit Artifact for themselves, or they take the initiative to purchase various cultivation resources to help themselves in their cultivation.

I really don't have much left on hand.

That Bronze Mask Cultivator carries so many Spirit Stone, it must have other purposes.

Then there are three pieces of Spirit Artifact that have not yet been used, including a relatively valuable spiritual shield.

Then there are some good quality elixirs and Talisman and other sundries.

Then there is a special Cultivation Method.

"Supreme Bright King Salvation Sutra?"

Xiao Chen After a cursory glance at the contents, it seems that this is still a Cultivation Method.

But the difference is that it involves many uncommon words, and there are even many places where Ancient Spirit Script is used.

He seemed to be stumbling and struggling, unable to understand the meaning at all.

But at least it can be inferred that the origin of the other party is indeed extraordinary.

"Could he also be a descendant of a certain Hidden Dao Heritage?"

Considering the current situation of the Compassion Sea, it is not difficult for Xiao Chen to think that the other party should also have some good background.

Of course, this alone cannot be confirmed.

"However, Black Market Token seems to be from Ancient Spirit Script as well."

Xiao Chen frowned. "And I specially changed it to the new Identity Token, and the monks in Black Market also have different masks, but the styles are different."

"Will there be a connection between them?"

"Or is it just a coincidence?"

Press all these questions for the time being, and Xiao Chen continues to check the remaining items.

There is another untitled booklet in Storage Ring.

When I opened it, I found it was a handwritten copy of Pill Formula.

"Oh, it's still Alchemist?"

Xiao Chen I haven't seen anything like this for a while.

He patiently checked it over carefully, and unexpectedly found that the whole booklet only described the refining process of Fourth-Order Spirit Pill.

That's right, more than ten pages, including thousands of words and more than twenty illustrations.

There is only one Pill Formula recorded, and its name is--Three Treasures Soul Nourishing Pill.

The main function is to slightly gain Divine Sense and greatly improve the quality of Divine Sense.

"Good guy, is it so complicated?"

Xiao Chen put Pill Formula into Vast Sea Ring for safe keeping. This is considered a relatively precious resource.

In addition to these items, there are six Spirit Pearl, four Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box, two parchments and a letter.

The first is the six Spirit Pearl, all of which are fourth-order Water Spirit Pearl.

Each one is as big as a small watermelon. You can't hold it with one hand, so you can only hold it.

Just holding it in your hand, the majestic and abundant Water Spiritual Power inside goes straight into your body.

Xiao Chen At first glance, they look like pearls.

However, the strange thing is that the size and color of the six Spirit Pearl are all exactly the same, with no difference visible, as if they were carved from the same mold.

If they were really pearls, it is estimated that there would have to be tens of thousands of similar pearls before six such similar ones could be screened out.

But where can we have thousands of fourth-order Spirit Pearl?

This kind of thing feels outrageous just thinking about it.
