In fact, Li Yan had already made it clear to Zhuo Lingfeng that the trip to the Hu Chen family was just a transaction between the two parties.
However, Zhuo Lingfeng also found out about Hu Chen Wuding's recent situation from Li Yan. In his opinion, this was cause and effect, and it fulfilled his last obsession.
Hu Chen Wuding is now able to become the head of the family and maintains a good relationship with Li Yan. However, he still feels that Li Yan's favor is greater.
"Friend Li, please speak!"
"I came to you to ask you to refine a Buddhist magic weapon for me. Of course, I have prepared the raw materials, so please rest assured!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes. He didn't expect that Li Yan's request was not about the wind beast, but asked him to help refine a Buddhist magic weapon.
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me clearly. I will do my best!"
Then, Li Yan waved his hand, and a string of Buddhist beads shining with golden light and a jade slip appeared out of thin air in the Zen room.
“This is a magic weapon for advancement. Currently, only one Vajrapani Bodhisattva has been sacrificed in it. I want to sacrifice a few more, but there are a few things I can’t do.
First, I am not good at Buddhist techniques; second, I only got the original version of the ritual technique, and the real ritual technique may have to be deduced from the original version."
After hearing this, Zhuo Lingfeng neither said yes nor no, but stretched out his hand and took the string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
Then, although he did not use any spells, he just infused the Buddhist beads with magic power, and the string of Buddhist beads burst out with an even brighter golden light.
Then, Zhuo Lingfeng’s spiritual sense probed in and he closed his eyes.
Li Yan could see that Zhuo Lingfeng's magic power contained authentic Buddhist power. The reaction of the Buddhist beads was different from when they were infused with the other party's magic power and when they were driven by himself.
"Fortunately, I only need to stimulate its use, rather than use it flexibly against the enemy. I don't need to control the magic weapon to the point where I want it to be controlled as I wish!"
Obviously, if Zhuo Lingfeng uses this magic weapon against the enemy, it will be more flexible and changeable.
Zhuo Lingfeng did not activate the magic weapon, but immersed his spiritual consciousness into the Buddhist beads, carefully feeling the changes in the formation inside. Only after hundreds of breaths did he retract his magic power and spiritual consciousness.
Then he snapped his fingers and the jade slip in the air was taken into his hand. He then placed it on his forehead. The jade slip contained the engraved copy of the "Golden Pearl Dragon Subduing Technique" he had obtained from the spirit moth.
Zhuo Lingfeng looked at it for another half an hour, and even after he took the jade slip away from his forehead, he still closed his eyes and was deep in thought.
Li Yan sat aside, slowly drinking the "emptiness tea" unique to Shamen Temple, with a calm look on his face.
It was not until Li Yan finished his tea and refilled his third cup that Zhuo Lingfeng slowly opened his eyes. Li Yan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him with a smile.
“This magic weapon is a suppressive treasure. When facing an enemy, a Vajrapani Bodhisattva can suppress a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, slowing down his movements and hindering his mana.
If he could use his inner telekinesis to assist him, he would be able to fight even an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage!! "
Zhuo Lingfeng organized his thoughts and revealed the function of "Miji Vajra Zhenyue" in one sentence. At the same time, he was also very surprised at the enormous mental power contained in this string of Buddhist beads.
Even in the current Shamen Temple, the mental power accumulated by his master, the great monk Kūkai, is not necessarily as much as that in this string of Buddhist beads.
The reason is actually very simple. Although Shamen Temple is larger than Mingtuo Temple, it is precisely for this reason that the daily incense offerings seem to be too many monks and too little porridge.
There is more than one great monk named Kūkai in the temple, but about 80% of the incense offerings to Mingtu Temple are taken away by Zen Master Dajing.
"Does Daoist friend have a way to make a sacrifice?"
Li Yan spoke softly, this was what he cared about most.
“I’m 20 to 30 percent sure, but I can’t do it alone. I still need to ask Master for advice. After all, my Buddhist teachings are far inferior to Master’s.
Although you have the original version of the ritual and alchemy technique, and you can also refer to the finished magic weapon, the one who created this technique is definitely a great monk, and his Buddhist teachings are extremely profound! ! "
Zhuo Lingfeng answered very straightforwardly and expressed his own judgment.
However, his judgment on the power of this magic weapon was quite accurate. It was a pretty good magic weapon in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it could basically be used to deal with cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
But the person who could create this technique is definitely not an ordinary monk. Even if Zhuo Lingfeng had a reference object, he was not sure how much he could comprehend.
After hearing this, Li Yan fell silent for a while. He felt safe giving these things to Zhuo Lingfeng, but he was a little worried about handing them over to others. Moreover, after the monk Konghai examined them, he was only 20 to 30 percent sure.
Seeing this, Zhuo Lingfeng did not continue speaking. He could not advise on such matters. It was obvious that Li Yan also valued this magic weapon very much.
But he never thought that Li Yan attached great importance to this magic weapon to the extent that he was willing to risk his life for it.
In his opinion, Li Yan might just want to have an extra treasure of a different kind.
After all, in this world of cultivating immortals, it is common for a cultivator to use a magical weapon that is out of place, but it can often be used as a killer weapon to turn the tide in one fell swoop.
Li Yan is helping the Tianli tribe, so the more cards he has in his hand, the better.
Soon, Li Yan raised his head.
"No problem. I wonder what conditions Fellow Daoist Zhuo requires?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Lingfeng immediately smiled and shook his head.
"Friend Li, I don't need any reward for helping you this time. It's just a token of your continued care for Wu Ding."
“Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu Ding and I are acquaintances, so there’s no way I can talk about taking care of you.
However, even if Daoist Zhuo doesn't need it, asking the divine monk Kong Hai to help him won't let him do it in vain."
While Li Yan was speaking, he flipped his hand and four dark brown stones the size of a half fist appeared between the two of them. They were the "Sand Star King Stones".
Then, Li Yan gave a light push, and four "Sand Star King Stones" flew lightly towards Zhuo Lingfeng.
"This is… "
Seeing Li Yan take out four strange stones, Zhuo Lingfeng was stunned.
"You should have heard of this thing, called 'Sand Star Stone', but it is a specially refined 'Sand Star Stone'. I don't have many of them. I suggest that you and your master each have two pieces. They will be of great use at some point.
After this item has been specially refined, even if it is obtained by a cultivator who does not have the ability to tear the void, he can easily tear the void by holding this treasure.
This stone can also generate brown virtual wings for defense, and a single person can resist the strong wind for about one and a half incense sticks. And if one is separated, half is in hand and the other half is left somewhere else, even in turbulent space or black holes, it has a strong penetrating and positioning function! ! "
Having said this, Li Yan stopped talking.
Zhuo Lingfeng wanted to refuse after hearing the first half of Li Yan's sentence, but after hearing the rest, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
He had never seen the "Sand Star Stone", but as Li Yan said, he had heard of it. This thing is extremely precious, and it is said that even one the size of an egg is extremely rare.
But the four pieces in front of him were each half the size of a fist, and had all been specially refined.
To a Nascent Soul cultivator, this thing is truly a treasure. No matter whether the Nascent Soul cultivator is crossing the void or going to the turbulent space to train and search for treasures, what he fears most is the unknown space.
If one had such a treasure in hand, one would have certain means to control situations like the chaotic flow of time and loss of spatial direction caused by a black hole, which are so frightening that people shudder. Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Friend Li, you... you make me refuse you, how can I refuse you? Good, good!"
It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted by such a treasure.
"Hehehe... Daoist Fellow Zhuo, there's no need to be polite. I'll trouble you with the ritual."
Li Yan cupped his hands. There were more than 140 pieces of these things in his storage space, most of which were obtained from the storage ring of the great master. He also used three pieces when crossing the turbulent space.
But he didn't take out too much at a time. Scarcity makes things valuable, and this thing itself is definitely rare. Li Yan knew Zhuo Lingfeng's character clearly, but it was hard to say about the monk Kūkai.
He had also inquired about it. The monk Konghai was already a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. They went to turbulent spaces more often and needed this kind of treasure even more. Li Yan understood the principle that money could move people's hearts.
"Well, since I didn't say anything before, I have no choice but to accept it. Amitabha, thank you for your generous gift, Brother Li!"
Zhuo Lingfeng then put away the "Sand Star King Stone" and spoke to Li Yan again.
"Friend Li, if you have nothing to do outside in the near future, you can stay here temporarily. I will set up a Zen room for you.
I will go to see Master later, but I cannot guarantee the time for the ritual, so I will set it for one year. After one year, I will give you an answer no matter what. What do you think, Li Daoyou?"
"Okay, I also need to practice meditation recently, so please arrange a quiet room for me!"
Li Yan has nowhere to go now. The biggest purpose of his coming here is to let the other party deduce the method of sacrifice and refining. Once successful, he will take out the raw materials and let Zhuo Lingfeng refine them immediately.
Therefore, in the following days, Li Yan stayed in Shamen Temple. He never left the house, meditating and practicing breathing exercises all day long...
There is no time in cultivation. One day, Li Yan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. Then the door of the room opened as he waved his sleeves. Looking at Zhuo Lingfeng, who had a haggard face, Li Yan stood up immediately.
Of course, his heart was full of anticipation, but Zhuo Lingfeng at the door just clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.
"A year has passed, Fellow Daoist Li. My master and I have been studying the ritual for a year, and we have only made some progress. I'm really sorry, but I may need to continue studying it."
Because of Li Yan's incident, Zhuo Lingfeng had no choice but to go find the divine monk Konghai. He gave all four "Sand Star King Stones" to his master.
He was truly grateful to the great monk Kūkai, and once he had the chance to repay him, he would do so with all his heart. This was the style of Zhuo Ling.
The monk Kūkai had seen the "Sand Star Stone" before. After seeing these four "Sand Star King Stones", he immediately saw their value. They were not comparable to the "Sand Star Stones" he had seen before.
Seeing his disciple take out such treasures, he was very surprised. Later, when Zhuo Lingfeng told him his intention and took out the Buddhist beads and jade slips, he did not refuse. Soon, the master and disciple were immersed in the deduction of the exercises.
You know, fundamentally speaking, they are the biggest beneficiaries of this matter. Not only did they get the "Sand Star King Stone", but they also got semi-finished skills from other sects, and even the completed "Golden Pearl Dragon Subduing Technique".
If Li Yan didn't urgently need to refine the upgraded version of "Miji Vajra Zhenyue", just using "Golden Pearl Dragon Subduing Technique" as an exchange condition would be fine.
After all, no matter whether it succeeds in the end or not, Kong Hai and the others have learned this sacrificial technique, and also obtained several treasures out of thin air, which is a definite advantage.
Li Yan looked at Zhuo Lingfeng and nodded. He did not show any surprise on his face.
"Then let's use it for another year and see the progress results!"
"Ami Mi Fo, Fellow Daoist Li, Master wants to invite two other monks who are protecting the temple. They will study together. I wonder if we can let them watch this technique!!"
Zhuo Lingfeng looked apologetic and stated another purpose of his visit.
"Okay, I'm here to jail all the monks!"
After hearing Zhuo Lingfeng's words, Li Yan had almost no hesitation.
The great monk Kūkai had already looked at the technique, so Li Yan simply stopped thinking about it. It would certainly be more promising if several great monks studied it together.
Zhuo Lingfeng felt a little relieved when he saw Li Yan agreed. He was a very affectionate person and originally wanted to repay Li Yan's kindness, but he had to accept the other party's treasure, and in the end, he failed to accomplish his goal!
Since Li Yan agreed, Zhuo Lingfeng also felt confident. In fact, he and his master had not gained nothing in the past year.
On the contrary, after constantly testing the connection between the Vajrapani Bodhisattva and the Buddhist beads, he also deduced a lot of things based on the "Golden Bead Dragon Subduing Technique".
It’s just that the results of these deductions are all over the place, there is no order of chronology, they are very fragmented, and cannot be connected together.
Zhuo Lingfeng would be even more confident if two more monks joined him. Then, he bowed slightly again and left.
Li Yan looked at Zhuo Lingfeng's back, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he closed the door again...
In a desolate mountain on the Arctic continent, a tall old man in gray exerted force from his palms, and the head that he was holding with his five fingers began to melt.
It was as if a stream of water was flowing down from the top of his head, and his body began to melt from the head down, silently, without even a trace of blood.
In just about three breaths, the big man turned into a drop of black water and then sank into the ground, disappearing without a trace, without even a trace of blood.
This scene was extremely weird. The tall old man in gray looked towards the northern sky, and there was a faint trace of black tide surging in his dark eyes.
Behind him, a handsome young man in white was standing quietly.
After a long while, the young man in white asked with a respectful look on his face.
"Uncle Master, have you gotten any news? This is the seventeenth person I have tricked out. If there is no connection between them, no one should have noticed anything unusual yet.
But if they really are involved with someone, and if they are more or less related to each other, it is estimated that they may have attracted the other party's attention. "
