I'll Thank You My Entire Life!

Clang!!!

As the bell chimed, a golden great bell materialized above Jiang Chuan's pavilion.

The golden great bell, as if condensed from golden auspicious clouds, was incredibly dazzling.

Divine radiance rose from the bell's body.

From afar, it looked like rivers of stars, coiled around the bell.

A majestic and powerful aura swept across the land like a passing gale.

"This... this is..."

Elder Jingyun's heart churned like a stormy sea: "No mistake! No mistake! This must be the Legendary Dao Artifact, the Great Sun Divine Bell, forged by Future Star Venerable Buddha Ancestor in the ancient era, as recorded in ancient texts!"

"What?! This is the legendary Great Sun Divine Bell!"

Elder Jinghou exclaimed.

Zing! Zing!

The sound of sabers and swords clashed.

"This is..."

The next moment, under Jing Hui's gaze, a silver long saber and a jet-black long sword materialized beside the Great Sun Divine Bell, followed by a Purple Gold Pill Furnace and a green seal.

The four Dao Artifacts, like the Four Divine Beasts, guarded the four directions, protecting the Great Sun Divine Bell in the center.

"Amitabha!"

With a Buddhist chant, Abbot Kong Ming, clad in the Nine Treasures Kasaya, appeared before Jing Hui, Elder Jingyun, and the others.

Abbot Kong Ming looked at the Great Sun Divine Bell in the sky, his face full of smiles.

"Since Bodhi Sacred Buddha Ancestor founded Bodhi Temple, finally a disciple has cultivated the Treasured Mountain Seal and formed a contract with the divine bell forged by Future Star Venerable Buddha Ancestor."

Recalling the impending visit of the Nine Abyss Dynasty, Abbot Kong Ming smiled: "First the Nine Abyss Dynasty's assistance, then the disciple's contract with the divine bell. Our Buddhist path is destined to prosper!"

Jiang Chuan, who was in seclusion on the second floor, naturally heard all their conversations.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

It's over!

How am I supposed to leave Bodhi Temple now?

He entered the treasure mountain to contract Dao Artifacts, intending to deal with Elder Jingyun and Elder Jinghou, and to increase his strength.

But he never intended to become a Buddha Son!

If he truly became a Buddha Son.

Wouldn't he, just like Gong Suxin predicted, spend his future days with plain tea and ancient Buddhist scriptures?

"It's all that damned Great Sun Divine Bell and that damned rabbit!" Jiang Chuan cursed incessantly.

He hadn't expected that contracting the Great Sun Divine Bell would cause such a commotion.

The next moment, the rabbit's voice echoed in Jiang Chuan's mind.

"How was it? Little monk, am I good to you? With such a grand display I helped you create, Bodhi Temple will definitely cultivate you diligently."

"I estimate five years, no, three years, Bodhi Temple should be able to cultivate you to the Fifth Realm, or even the Sixth Realm. By then, your strength will be enough to head to the Northern Region to search for my clansmen."

"No need for thanks, helping me find my clansmen is the best thanks you can give me."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

I really thank you!

I'll thank you for my whole life!

If he wasn't truly no match for this rabbit, Jiang Chuan would have really wanted to beat it up to vent his frustration!

"Sigh!"

Jiang Chuan sighed lightly, then encouraged himself.

"There are always more solutions than difficulties! I don't believe I can only be a monk for my entire life, accompanying plain tea and ancient Buddhist scriptures!"

Leaving his room, Jiang Chuan went downstairs and into the courtyard.

"Jiang Chuan! Greetings to Abbot Kong Ming, Elder Jingyun, and Elder Jinghou."

"Oh?"

Abbot Kong Ming asked, "Jiang Chuan, your physical body cultivation technique is exquisitely profound. Where did you obtain it?"

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands together: "Amitabha! Replying to the Abbot, this disciple entered the treasure mountain a month ago and contracted a mid-grade Dao Artifact, the Vast Sky Great Seal. It was taught to this humble monk by the artifact spirit senior."

"A month ago?"

Elder Jingyun was slightly taken aback, then his face showed surprise.

"A month ago was the seventh day I taught you the 'Treasured Mountain Seal.' In seven days, you've mastered the 'Treasured Mountain Seal'?!"

"Jiang Chuan's comprehension is indeed outstanding. No wonder he was favored by the Great Sun Divine Bell!" A hint of surprise flashed in Abbot Kong Ming's eyes.

"So, you're saying the ancient pill recipe that Jiang Chuan obtained was also passed down by a spirit?" Elder Jinghou asked.

Jiang Chuan nodded. "Replying to Elder, it was indeed taught by the spirit of the mid-grade Dao Artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Fire Furnace. Besides giving me the recipe, Senior Spirit also imparted to this disciple a copy of the 'Jade Liquid Elixir Canon,' but I've been in seclusion and haven't had the chance to study it."

"Cultivation should be the priority for cultivators. However, the myriad arts of cultivation are also crucial for us."

Abbot Kong Ming looked at Elder Jinghou. "Jinghou, I recall there's a low-grade Treasure Artifact alchemy furnace in the alchemy room that no one has been using. Grant it to Jiang Chuan."

"Yes, Abbot."

A low-grade Treasure Artifact alchemy furnace!

Jiang Chuan was ecstatic.

The spiritual materials needed to refine a low-grade Treasure Artifact alchemy furnace were enough to refine over ten, or even dozens of, low-grade Treasure Artifact flying swords!

Therefore, even though it was just a low-grade Treasure Artifact alchemy furnace, if it were truly put up for sale, its price would only be higher than the high-grade Treasure Artifact Flame Sun Needle that Elder Jingyun had given Jiang Chuan!

"Also, I remember a few days ago, junior brother Jingyan refined a batch of Earth-grade low-rank Dragon Ginseng Spirit Strengthening Pills. Take one pill and give it to Jiang Chuan to aid his cultivation."

"Yes, Abbot."

An Earth-grade low-rank pill!

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

It was indeed just as the rabbit had said.

After causing such a huge commotion, he was truly receiving significant cultivation support from Bodhi Temple.

Abbot Kong Ming then instructed Jiang Chuan to cultivate diligently before leaving with Elders Jingyun and Jinghou.

Half an hour later, a disciple from the alchemy room delivered the Treasure Artifact alchemy furnace and the Dragon Ginseng Spirit Strengthening Pill to Jiang Chuan's pavilion.

The three-meter-tall bronze alchemy furnace, like a small house, stood in the courtyard.

Looking at the two words 'Qingshan' written in bold strokes on the surface of the alchemy furnace, Jing Hui's face was filled with envy.

"Qingshan Furnace, when will I ever have my own Treasure Artifact alchemy furnace?"

Pills were to cultivators as food was to mortals.

They could not only increase cultivation but also refine spiritual power and strengthen blood qi.

For cultivators, having a good alchemy furnace was definitely a great help.

"Senior brother, you'll have one sooner or later," Jiang Chuan said as he activated the Qingshan Furnace.

Buzz! Buzz!

As the formation activated, a ball of pale green true fire materialized out of thin air within the Qingshan Furnace.

Jiang Chuan took the Bone Remolding Pill from his storage bag and tossed it in.

"After seven days and seven nights of refining, the Bone Remolding Pill will be turned into a pool of golden liquid, and I can reshape my body!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan looked forward to the body reshaping in seven days even more. He then sat cross-legged before the alchemy furnace, refining the pill qi within his body and the mighty spiritual energy infused by the Treasured Mountain.

The Golden Crow set in the west, and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east.

The evening breeze blew, rustling the pomegranate tree.

Just then, a crisp voice reappeared in Jiang Chuan's mind.

Jiang Chuan immediately began the simulation.

[Ding! Simulation initiated. Randomly matching a romantic partner for the host.]

[Ding! Match successful.]

[The romantic partner matched for this simulation is Mei Zhiqin, a disciple of Taixu Immortal Palace.]

"A disciple of Taixu Immortal Palace?"

Jiang Chuan's mind once again conjured the image of Gong Suxin, like a fairy from Swan Lake.

"Taixu Immortal Palace does not allow its disciples to marry. This could be a bit tricky. I'll first comprehend the Dao Transformation Power and cultivate the One Qi Dao Sword to great mastery, then I'll consider this matter."
