The Divine Brick of a High-Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure

He sent Guang Chengzi a smiling voice transmission.

Guang Chengzi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He had never heard of such a Dharmic Treasure before, and asked uncertainly:

"Junior Brother Bai Ze, are you sure you want to use this object as its shape?"

Bai Ze nodded repeatedly. "I'm sure. This suits me best. It's sturdy and durable, small and easy to conceal.

"When facing enemies, it can catch them completely off guard!"

Seeing Bai Ze's resolute attitude, Guang Chengzi could only nod in agreement.

Yet this artifact refinement was the simplest and least technically demanding one he had undertaken since beginning his cultivation.

Just as he was about to condense it, Bai Ze suddenly spoke. "Senior Brother, could you incorporate this into it as well?"

Guang Chengzi accepted the Primordial Concealment Formation Bai Ze had inscribed. His expression became exceedingly strange as he turned to Bai Ze and confirmed once more:

"Junior Brother Bai Ze, are you sure you want to add this formation to it?"

Seeing Guang Chengzi's troubled expression, Bai Ze smiled.

"If you find it difficult, Senior Brother, you need not add it."

Guang Chengzi shook his head. "That isn't the issue.

"I can remove and replace some restrictions, doing my utmost to ensure the quality does not decline.

"It's simply that if I am to inscribe this formation into it, I will inevitably need to master the formation..."

Before Guang Chengzi could finish, Bai Ze interrupted him.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. You are refining a Dharmic Treasure for me—how could I accept it for nothing?

"I had intended to give you this formation in the first place. Just go ahead and do it."

Guang Chengzi understood at once. Shaking his head with a laugh, he said, "No wonder Junior Brother Duobao often says you dislike becoming entangled in Karma. It seems that is indeed true."

Having said that, Guang Chengzi did not hesitate and began studying the Array Formation.

With his foundations, even the Primordial Concealment Formation would not take him long to comprehend.

Furthermore, with Bai Ze guiding him at the side, Guang Chengzi stopped his contemplation after only a few days.

"I am already confident I can incorporate this formation into it. As for the rest, I can continue comprehending it later."

Bai Ze cupped his hands, brushing aside his hair. "I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

Guang Chengzi waved his hand, then began inscribing the Primordial Concealment Formation into it and shaping it.

With each hand seal Guang Chengzi sent forth, that lump of golden liquid stretched longer and wider.

Gradually, the outline of a square object emerged.

Guang Chengzi looked helplessly at Bai Ze, his gaze seemingly asking for confirmation.

But upon seeing Bai Ze's eyes shining brightly, he could only continue forging it.

Under Guang Chengzi's control, the square Dharmic Treasure embryo gradually transformed into a palm-sized statue.

It was precisely the appearance of Venerable Lingbao!

At the sight of this Dharmic Treasure, Bai Ze's eyes lit up. Yet he remained somewhat wary, and only after a long while without Venerable Lingbao making a move did he finally let out a long breath of relief.

He then looked at the Dharmic Treasure. It had to be said that Guang Chengzi's craftsmanship was truly superb.

He had forged Venerable Lingbao's domineering yet relaxed and carefree aura with astonishing lifelikeness!

Just look at how vivid it was—every single strand of hair was distinctly separated, and even the folds in the Daoist robe were clearly visible!

Given Venerable Lingbao's reputation throughout the Primordial World, if anyone dared make a move against him in the future, he would throw Venerable Lingbao's statue at them like a brick.

When the time came, who would not shudder upon seeing this statue?

Not to mention that he had specifically asked Guang Chengzi to replace all the restrictions within it with restrictions for sturdiness, pressure, weight, and concealment.

Should he encounter an enemy, he merely needed to place this Dharmic Treasure behind them and remove the concealment restriction, instantly releasing its pressure.

Whoever saw that would be utterly bewildered!

After all, if he truly encountered an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, even the strongest Dharmic Treasure would be useless.

But the Three Pure Ones Statue was different. So long as it could intimidate the other party for even an instant, his chance of survival would increase by one part!

Bai Ze was ecstatic inside, the upward curl of his lips impossible to suppress. Guang Chengzi, who had successfully finished refining it, was left utterly baffled by the sight.

"Are you really that happy?"

He looked at Duobao beside Bai Ze, then at Bai Ze, who was secretly delighted, his brows knotting together.

"Junior Brother Bai Ze, are you truly using it to worship and intimidate enemies?"

Hearing this, Bai Ze hurriedly restrained his smile and spouted nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

"Of course. Rest assured, Senior Brother, my admiration for the Celestial Venerable is like the surging river, endless and unbroken.

"I had it refined solely for worship and to deter petty villains.

"When I prepare the materials in the future, I will certainly ask Senior Brother to refine the Dharma Bodies of the other two Celestial Venerables as well!"

Only then did Guang Chengzi relax somewhat, though he still felt that something was off. Bai Ze's idea was simply too strange!

But when he considered his Martial Uncle's reputation in the Primordial World, so long as Bai Ze brought out this Dharma Body, his Martial Uncle's prestige could indeed make others wary!

That made sense, then. At most, it merely gave him one more identity.

Moreover, the restrictions inside were all suitable for worship—sturdiness, pressure, concealment, weight, and the like.

Coupled with Bai Ze's desire to refine the Dharma Bodies of the other two Celestial Venerables as well, it seemed their only purpose was indeed for worship.

He simply had not expected Bai Ze to revere the Three Celestial Venerables so deeply. For a time, he felt even closer to Bai Ze.

"Junior Brother Bai Ze, it is understandable that you wish to refine Dharma Bodies to intimidate others.

"But why use such a powerful formation and such precious materials? Ordinary ones would have been fine.

"Master and the others do not care about such empty formalities."

Bai Ze hurriedly shook his head, speaking with righteous conviction. "Senior Brother, although this is a Celestial Venerable's Dharma Body, how can ordinary Heavenly Treasures be used for it?

"If my abilities were not limited, I would even want to refine this Dharma Body to the grade of an Innate Spirit Treasure!"

Guang Chengzi sighed and shook his head. "Since Junior Brother Bai Ze possesses such filial devotion, feel free to seek me out whenever you refine them in the future.

"Even if you lack some treasures, I can advance them for you first."

Bai Ze cupped his hands in thanks, then forced out a drop of essence blood and began refining this Venerable Lingbao Dharma Body, a High-Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.

After completing the refinement, he stored it in the Ring Space before opening his eyes.

Guang Chengzi was still standing beneath the tree and had not left.

Bai Ze could not help muttering inwardly. Could it be that Guang Chengzi had seen through what I was thinking, which was why he had not left?

"Senior Brother, is there anything else?"

Guang Chengzi shook his head slightly. "Your punishment of facing the wall in reflection has already lasted ten years.

"I had originally intended to assign you and Duobao the assessment task for this lecture.

"But since you and Duobao are still up in the tree, I assume your punishment has not yet ended. Then let it be."

With that, he turned to leave.

Bai Ze relaxed inwardly. Fortunately, he had not been seen through.

But then confusion rose in his heart.

What was this assessment task?

Just then, Duobao, who had been sleeping soundly beside him, opened his eyes. Watching Guang Chengzi walk away, he said with relief:

"Luckily Master's punishment has not ended yet. Otherwise, we would have to do those damned questions again!"

Bai Ze looked suspiciously at Duobao beside him, whose lingering fear made him look as though he had survived a calamity. His confusion only deepened.

"Brother, you pretended to sleep just to avoid listening to the lecture?"

Duobao grinned smugly.

"What else? Senior Brother's lectures are cut from the same cloth as Second Senior Uncle's. They make people drowsy.

"And every now and then, he asks questions. If you cannot answer, you get beaten. That would be one thing, but after the lecture, he makes you review it, then takes an assessment.

"You have no idea how strict and terrifying those assessments are!

"Luckily, we're tied up and can't do anything!"

Thinking of Guang Chengzi's gentle appearance, Bai Ze was somewhat unconvinced. Was it really that terrifying?

Duobao noticed Bai Ze's expression. Too lazy to explain, he said darkly:

"You're still too young. The waters here run deep!

"You'll understand someday!"
