Chapter 848: Chenxiang Swallowed the Wick, and the Heavenly Emperor Had a Poison Tongue
After obtaining the White Lotus Lamp, Chenxiang did not immediately remove its wick and swallow it. Instead, he first took it to Lu Ya to have him confirm whether it was genuine. Otherwise, if it turned out to be a fake, who knew what might happen after he ate its wick?
Inside Futu Cave, Lu Ya, who had assumed the guise of Zen Master Crow's Nest, was utterly bewildered when Chenxiang brought him a lamp and asked whether it was the White Lotus Lamp.
The White Lotus Lamp?
I've heard of the Lotus Lantern. Not only that, I even saw it when I was young. But the White Lotus Lamp... I've never heard of such a thing.
Sitting cross-legged on his meditation cushion, he reached out and took the lamp from Chenxiang, then examined it carefully. He confirmed that it was indeed a magical treasure. Though acquired rather than innate, its grade was far from low. As he examined it more deeply, Lu Ya's expression suddenly changed.
He had recognized it. This lamp had actually been refined using a seed of the World-Cleansing White Lotus as its primary material. There was no mistaking that rich world-cleansing power. It had to be the World-Cleansing White Lotus!
But the World-Cleansing White Lotus was the Heavenly Emperor's magical treasure. How had an acquired treasure refined from one of its seeds ended up in Chenxiang's hands?
With that thought, Lu Ya asked Chenxiang directly, "Where did you get this lamp?"
Chenxiang hid nothing. He bowed with his hands clasped and answered, "Master, I was practicing the Vajra Demon-Subduing Divine Ability in the forest when this lamp suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of me."
Lu Ya: "..."
