Entering the reception room, Chen Linqing asked the other party to sit down, and then said: "Master, tell me what you want to say!"
While speaking, he openly used his spiritual sense to investigate, but did not sense any evil aura from the other person.
Xuan Zhi didn't care about Chen Lin's investigation, but directly took out two fist-sized fruits and placed them on the table.
He said, "This is the relic fruit. People in the world think that this fruit is a natural treasure, but in fact it is derived from the relics of Buddhist monks. The relics need to be buried under a relic tree to condense into fruit. There has not been a Buddhist monk in the Vajra Realm in this temple for many years. These two fruits were left by the previous abbot. Since Mr. Chen needs them, I will give them to him."
Chen Lin was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to do this directly. It was really beyond his expectations.
He thought the other party might be here to cause trouble, but unexpectedly he came to bring treasure.
There is no reason to refuse a treasure that is already in hand, not to mention that this thing is what he has always dreamed of, so Chen Lin took it in his hand without hesitation, looked at it for a while, and then put it away.
Then he looked at the other party and said, "No merit, no reward. Master, you gave me such a precious treasure. There must be something going on, right?"
Unexpectedly, Master Xuanzhi shook his head and said, "Monks do not tell lies. If you say it is a gift, then it is a gift. I just hope that the donor will cancel the task and return peace to this temple."
Chen Lin felt embarrassed and felt as if he had done something bad.
However, after practicing for so many years, he had become thick-skinned enough, and he immediately said with an apologetic look: "I didn't expect that I only issued a task, but it caused harassment to the master and your temple. Master, don't worry, I will have someone withdraw the task right away."
Now that the treasure is in hand, there is no need to issue more tasks. The Seven Star Pill is not a cheap thing.
In fact, Chen Lin didn't believe that the other party would give the treasure to him so easily, but since the other party didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he had already got the thing, and it was the other party who was anxious.
Sure enough, the other party did not say goodbye. After chatting for a while, he suddenly asked, "Since Mr. Chen needs a Buddhist practice item like the relic fruit, and there is Buddha power in his body, could it be that he has also practiced Buddhist skills?"
Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly, knowing that the other party's intention was about to be revealed.
But the power of Buddha is in him, and as a fellow Buddhist practitioner, he must be able to sense it, so he cannot deny it.
After a slight hesitation, he said, "Since the master has already guessed it, I will not hide it. I have indeed practiced a Buddhist body-refining method."
Xuan Zhi nodded, "Then I wonder which great monk you are learning from. Apart from my Demon-Suppressing Temple, I don't think there are any other Buddhist practitioners on this Starry Continent."
Chen Lin's heart moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that the only Buddhist practice heritage was the Demon-Suppressing Temple. No wonder the other party came in person. He must have come to investigate his background.
But his appearance did not change. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Master, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I have stolen the inheritance of your Demon-Suppressing Temple?"
Xuan Zhi shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just want to confirm it. Since Mr. Chen doesn't want to say it, I won't force it."
Having said this, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out a small bottle and said, "Since the donor needs the sarira fruit, I guess this three-color glass liquid is also needed?"
Chen Lin was shocked and looked at the old monk with a scrutinizing gaze.
He knew that the other party had guessed the purpose of his request for the relic. This Demon-Suppressing Temple was of the same origin as the Demon-Suppressing Temple where Niankong was born, and was very familiar with the Three Treasures Buddha Dew.
After thinking for a while, he did not deny it and said, "Master, you are right. I also need this thing."
Although the other party may be involved with demons, as long as the thing is real, if the other party is willing to give it, he will naturally be happy to accept it.
And since the thing has been taken out, even if the other party doesn't want to give it, he will find a way to make the other party agree.
The other party's actions once again surprised Chen Lin. He actually pushed the thing directly in front of him.
This made him feel suspicious.
"Master, if you have any requests, just tell me. I have an isolation array here, so no one can hear our conversation."
Chen Lin looked at the other person intently, then quickly opened the bottle, took a look, and put it away unceremoniously.
Get the stuff first, then study other things.
Xuan Zhi's expression finally became serious at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "I have only one request for you. When Mr. Chen is promoted to the Vajra Realm, please help the monks of this temple to exorcise the evil spirits!"
"Exorcism?"
Chen Lin was stunned and said, "Master, you are joking. Your Demon-Suppressing Temple is dedicated to exorcising demons. How could you need an outsider like me to exorcise demons? Master, you think too highly of me."
Although he said this, there was a wave of emotion in his heart.
There are indeed monsters in this Demon-Suppressing Temple, and the other party actually knows about it. This shows that the monsters are of extremely high level, or their existence is very strange. Not only can the other party not destroy them, they may have been infected by them. Otherwise, they can completely abandon the temple and build a new one somewhere else.
After hearing what Chen Lin said, Xuan Zhi's face became more solemn, and he said, "This matter is related to a secret of our temple. The specific situation cannot be disclosed to Benefactor Chen now. In short, only a Buddhist cultivator in the Vajra Realm can resolve this crisis."
"Originally, I was going to use the relic fruit and tri-color glass liquid to break through, but I have some health problems, so I can only place my hopes on Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen needs Buddha's Crossing Grass, I can also provide it. I only ask that you, as a fellow Buddhist monk, help our temple through this disaster!"
The other party's words were sincere, but Chen Lin did not comment.
He wasn't even sure whether the monk in front of him had also been demonized, so he couldn't believe what he said at all.
He had dealt with monsters many times in Tianyuan Continent and knew that monsters were the most cunning and good at playing with people's hearts. He would never take risks just because he received benefits from the other party.
The only thing that is puzzling now is the mystery of the Buddha statue's appearance in the previous life.
This thing must be related to the monster the other party mentioned, and he must deal with it, so he may have to explore the Demon-Suppressing Temple eventually.
After a long silence, Chen Lin slowly said, "Since Master cannot explain the situation now, then let's wait until I break through. If I fail to break through, there is no point in talking."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuanzhi stood up and bowed. Just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly became ferocious, black lines appeared on the exposed skin, and an evil aura suddenly emanated!
Chen Lin was shocked!
He patted his storage bag and took out several demon-suppressing talismans. Just as he was about to throw them out, he heard the other party say, "Don't worry, Benefactor Chen. I can still suppress it."
After he finished speaking, waves of Buddha's power emerged from his body, and the robes on his body also released a faint glow, and soon returned to normal.
"I'm sorry to have frightened you, Benefactor Chen. To be honest, the entire Demon-Suppressing Temple, including me, has been corrupted by the evil spirits. Time is running out."
Xuan Zhi clasped his hands together and spoke in a bleak voice.
Chen Lin frowned and said, "It has come to this point. What secrets can't be told? If the master agrees, I will issue a task to recruit strong people to eliminate the demon!"
In fact, even if they don't agree, he will hire experts to investigate the situation in the Demon-Suppressing Temple under the slogan of eliminating demons after a while. Anyway, he can offer a lot of rewards, and he can already refine elixirs to improve the cultivation of Jindan monks. With this elixir as a bargaining chip, he can even invite Jindan Zhenren.
When he issued the relic fruit mission before, he secretly released the information that the Demon-Suppressing Temple might have this item, just to let these monks explore the way first.
"well!"
Master Xuanzhi sighed, shook his head without saying anything, then turned and walked out.
Chen Lin wanted to stop him, but he heard the other party say, "I must return to the Demon-Suppressing Temple. If I am away for a long time, the evil demon may change. I don't know how many monks will die. Donor Chen, please do not act rashly."
Hearing this, Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and did not continue to attack, allowing the other party to leave.
He wasn't sure whether what the other party said was true or not, and he was also afraid that it might be related to his statue, so it was better to trust the other party for the time being.
"I am Yuanzhen, a humble monk. Nice to meet you, Senior Chen!"
Xuan Zhi left, but left behind a little monk. His purpose was naturally to wait for Chen Lin to break through the Vajra Realm so that he could be responsible for delivering the message.
Chen Lin did not embarrass the other party, and nodded and said: "Little Master, please stay in the backyard of this shop. I will inform you when there is news."
After instructing Lu Youcai to take care of it, he returned to the cave.
After thinking for a whole night in the cave, he decided not to provoke the Demon-Suppressing Temple for the time being. He decided to wait and see what happened and make a decision after the breakthrough.
If the breakthrough fails, nothing you say will help.
After calming down, he began to make the Three Treasures Buddha Dew. This thing did not require any technical content and only required ordinary configuration, so he did not use any innate abilities and succeeded in one go.
This day.
The originally clear sky above the fairy peak was suddenly covered with dark clouds. A terrifying pressure emanated from the clouds, accompanied by faint sounds of thunder.
This situation startled all the monks in the cave and they looked up at the sky in confusion.
"Is this, the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation?"
Suddenly a monk cried out in surprise.
The other monks also reacted immediately and fled far away, not wanting to be implicated. At the same time, they secretly complained in their hearts, wondering who was so wicked that he not only passed the tribulation in this place, but also did not inform them in advance.
Chen Lin in the cave also had a constipated look on his face. He didn't expect that there would be a heavenly tribulation when advancing his body-refining technique. He thought that as long as he could condense the Dharma image, it would be enough. This made him completely unprepared.
"boom!"
Before he could make any further preparations, the first bolt of lightning struck from the sky.
The cave was blasted open directly and landed accurately on his head. He only had time to throw out an ordinary defensive talisman before the lightning penetrated into his body.
It was as if he had been electrocuted, and he froze on the spot!
