"How much is this?" Su Changqing asked, turning it over in his hand.
"My lord, I bought it back for a hundred taels..." Li Taidong hesitated, then hurriedly said, "Of course, if you want it, three hundred taels... no, no, one hundred taels."
"The original price will do, my lord."
Li Taidong feared that this Imperial Guard might hold a grudge against him. More importantly, there really were discrepancies in his accounts.
Su Changqing had seen through them at a glance.
This Imperial Guard may be young, but he's already become a Centurion. And he really has some skill—he even uncovered the accounts I hid so deeply.
Su Changqing glanced at him with a faint smile in his eyes and slapped a one-hundred-tael banknote onto the counter.
He did not wish to make trouble. Obtaining the sarira of a Heavenly Gang Realm great Buddhist master was his true purpose.
The next moment, an Imperial Guard in a Flying Fish Robe suddenly entered from outside. He was powerfully built, and the instant he saw Su Changqing, his expression changed.
"Centurion, sir." The Imperial Guard hurriedly cupped his fists.
He was only at the ninth level of Body Tempering. Though he too served as a deputy Centurion, his strength was far inferior to Su Changqing's.
That man was someone who had slaughtered Scarlet Blood Scholar head-on.
Su Changqing gave a slight nod and turned to leave.
"Shopkeeper Li, is that necklace I had my eye on still here?" the burly man asked.
"It was bought by someone else. That lord who just left."
The burly man stood there in a daze, feeling inexplicably disappointed...
Li Taidong looked at him as he tapped his abacus, a trace of a smile at the corners of his mouth.
With his discerning eye, he had immediately recognized it as a string of fake pearls. The material was unknown, and it was only somewhat rare at best. Well, he had made another fifty taels...
At the Imperial Guard's rear mountain.
Su Changqing sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the largest pearl in his hand. It was as large as a pigeon egg, yellow and faintly lustrous. Looking closely, one could see blood and qi intertwined within.
The Golden Body Sarira of a Heavenly Gang Realm great Buddhist master.
Sarira were supreme treasures of Buddhism. Only those above the Earth Fiend Realm, with profound Buddhist Dharma,
could possibly condense Golden Body Sarira after death.
And the one in Su Changqing's hand came from a Heavenly Gang Realm master.
Even the Enlightenment Tea and Muscle Tendon Pill Su Changqing had consumed before could hardly compare with this item.
"That Heavenly Gang Realm great Buddhist master definitely did not condense only one sarira. What a pity..."
Su Changqing immediately chuckled. Greed knew no bounds; having this one was already an extraordinary opportunity.
His eyes narrowed slightly. The Purple Blood Soft Sword at his waist swept out and instantly straightened, thin as a cicada's wing.
With two strikes, he divided the sarira into four portions and swallowed them all at once.
His sea of qi instantly trembled. Su Changqing closed his eyes, focused his mind, and cultivated the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.
He sat cross-legged, his ink-black hair falling over his shoulders, his body crystalline like jade.
A faint golden radiance actually enveloped him, tranquil and peaceful, carrying an air of solemn majesty.
The rear mountain was quiet and secluded, its trees lush and verdant, all shrouded beneath that golden light.
Boom!
True Qi Sixth Layer!
True Qi Seventh Layer!
He broke through another shackle, charging straight into the True Qi Seventh Layer!
The blood and qi of that Heavenly Gang Realm great Buddhist master was far too vast. Even a single sarira made his blood and qi surge like a rainbow, shaking everything within ten miles.
Su Changqing abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze cold as lightning.
Indestructible Vajra Divine Art!
His entire body was enveloped in golden light. Even his gold-embroidered Flying Fish Robe was torn apart by the force, exposing his flesh, which was coated in golden lacquer like that of a golden man!
His blood and qi were peerless, like a vast ocean of rivers and seas. Every blade of grass and tree within the area trembled.
"So this is the first level of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art?" Su Changqing looked at his arm and lightly struck it, producing a deafening bang.
He looked toward a boulder at his side, half the height of a man, then extended a finger and lightly flicked it.
The boulder instantly shattered into four pieces.
Su Changqing was slightly startled. His physical body now should have surpassed tempered steel, nearly indestructible.
The Indestructible Vajra Divine Art had five levels in total.
Ordinary people could spend twenty years without even entering its gateway. Only when one's true qi reached a sufficiently profound level could one ignite the sea of qi within and transform into a supreme golden man!
What did indestructible vajra mean?
Upon reaching the fifth level and becoming a golden man, one would directly become a Martial Dao Grand Saint! Shaking the world, one could battle opponents of the same realm with the physical body alone.
Even if a Martial Dao Grand Saint wielded a Divine Weapon, they could not easily inflict harm.
Su Changqing hesitated for a moment, then picked up the Frost Snow Saber and cut a small wound into his hand.
Blood flowed out, but after only a moment, it was covered again by golden lacquer. A tingling, numbing sensation spread from the wound.
"Within the same realm, no one can harm me."
"Even if I am injured, this golden lacquer can ensure that I retain my strongest combat power while continuously repairing my wounds. This is the might of a True Inheritance Grade cultivation art..."
Su Changqing was secretly startled. If he could obtain Great Emperor Zhenwu's Profound Heaven True Qi, he would truly set foot upon the path of rising to power.
Dispelling the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, Su Changqing stood where he was.
"Having seized all three major opportunities, it is time to visit the Suppression Bureau again and seize the opportunities of every genius!"
Su Changqing remembered that when he had gone there last time, there had still been quite a few opportunities, though these three had been the greatest.
He could not abandon the smaller ones either. Only then would he have the means to deal with Ye Tian when they truly fought in the future.
Inside the Suppression Bureau's administrative office.
Su Changqing sat on a long bench, silently waiting. He watched everyone and did not leave for an entire day.
Recent opportunity: In three days, beneath the Four-Gu Sword Sect in Dongyi City, seize a copy of the Sword Nether Diagram from Shui Zhilan... Recent opportunity: When the Imperial Guard sweeps Changfeng Street and captures Uncle Mo, a nine-pouch elder of the Beggar Gang, obtain a Nine Revolutions Great Returning Pill... Recent opportunity: Outside Chang'an City, within Desolate Lanruo Temple, follow Zuo Qianhu of the Suppression Bureau into action and obtain a copy of A Chinese Ghost Story Fragment from inside the temple's Buddhist statue head. Effects unknown...
One light screen after another appeared before his eyes. Seize them!
