Chapter 295 Compassionate Pearl Buddha's Disciple, the Wonderful Method of Transforming into a Dragon

Duan Jiurui strolled around the market.

As it turned out, she actually discovered a treasure that was extremely useful to her.

Even more outrageous is that these treasures are sold in bulk—

Dragon scales.

To be precise, they are the scales of the golden-red dragon carp.

These little fish who had followed Li Ye for a long time had already undergone a secret transformation. They leaped from the Spirit Water Phoenix Eye Lotus into East Lake, gaining special powers like carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

The flesh and blood refined through countless trials imprinted some spiritual patterns onto the detached dragon scales. For body cultivators, such refined dragon scales were simply a secret treasure for enhancing their physique.

You don't even need to refine pills; just crunching them down will have an effect.

"Why haven't I seen Master Lingye sell this treasure before?"

Duan Jiurui stroked the golden-red scales, which were like gemstones, and couldn't put them down.

She remembered that Li Ye had previously sold pills made from this ingredient, but he stopped selling them later, which disappointed them for quite some time.

I thought these peculiar scales had stopped being produced, but now they have suddenly reappeared, which is a wonderful surprise!

Li Shijiu, who was in charge of selling "Donghu Specialty Products", replied with a smile: "Because this product had some problems before, it is undergoing transformation and evolution, so it is temporarily suspended from sale."

Now, Ruoquan Market is the only place to sell.

only?

Duan Jiurui glanced at the remaining scales on the stall, which were casually placed on the jade slab; there were still more than thirty of them.

Each one costs 100,000 spirit stones.

"I want them all."

Even if we buy them all, it will only cost a little over three million spirit stones. At worst, we can go back to the Central Region and take over some mountains.

This is something you won't get once you miss it!
“Okay…” Just as Li Shijiu was about to pack up, a young monk suddenly walked over.

The monk clasped his hands together and asked Duan Jiurui:

“Benefactor Duan, may I have this item? I am willing to pay an extra 50,000 spirit stones for each one.”

The monk wore a moon-white robe, and even though his bald head seemed to be constantly shining, it could not conceal his indescribable handsome and refined appearance.

His eyes were incredibly clear, like a pristine mountain spring, instantly winning people's favor.

And in his hand, he was clearly holding a lotus lamp oil lamp.

"..."

That blockhead Lü Qingge still couldn't beat this guy in snatching it?

Duan Jiurui felt irritated and cursed under her breath.

This monk is the "Cizhu" Buddhist disciple, one of the Seven Treasures of Kongxiang Temple, and is the successor of Pearl, one of the Seven Treasures.

He had been searching in the four seas, seemingly seeking the opportunity to attain Arhatship—that is, the Nascent Soul stage.

This guy's luck is so good it's indescribable. I don't know if Kongxiang Temple has gone mad, to bestow so much luck on one person.

"Hmph, little monk."

"Do you think I can't afford spirit stones?"

"If you want this, then trade it for your Seven Treasures Pearl!"

Duan Jiurui deliberately set a high price.

The so-called Seven Treasures Pearl is actually the physical relic of this Compassionate Pearl Buddha. It is to undergo Nirvana in the fire of calamity, and it can only be done once with each major advancement in cultivation.

Cizhu is currently only at the Golden Core stage, and she only has a dozen or so Seven Treasure Pearls. She doesn't believe this guy is willing to exchange them for Seven Treasure Pearls!

Can bear fruit.

Cizhu smiled slightly: "Since you have spoken, then this humble monk can only offer these mundane items in lieu of spirit stones."

talking.

He took out a perfectly round "pearl," which shone brightly inside, emitting rings of light like fire.

Duan Jiurui: "..."

You're really crazy!

Although she was inwardly complaining and somewhat regretful, she couldn't go back on her word since she had already spoken. So she pointed to the scales and said, "Then you don't need to pass them on to me. Just give the spirit stones and pearls to them directly."

why?
Why did I have to argue with him?

Why not just ignore him and get the item?

Duan Jiurui left, filled with remorse.

In a terrible mood, she didn't want to say another word to Cizhu.

Cizhu Buddhist disciple, on the other hand, was in a very good mood. He handed the spirit stones and pearls to Li Shijiu, his smile still bright: "Young benefactor, I wonder if this humble monk could have the honor of meeting True Man Lingye?"

"I would give a scroll of scripture in exchange for the opportunity to meet you."

Li Shijiu immediately shook his head: "Master is in seclusion and will not see anyone."

Cizhu added, "It is the scripture of the Bodhisattva Guangli of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, which contains the lineage of the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"..."

"Let me ask for instructions."

Even Li Shijiu hesitated now.

It quickly turned around and went back into the house, then reported the matter to Li Ye.

It wasn't that its will was not firm, but rather that this scroll of scripture was something the Four Seasons Sect had always wanted to obtain. They had asked the Kongxiang Temple for it many times, but the temple had always refused to give it to them.

That scripture contains the Buddhist tradition of the Dragon Transformation Pool, which can transform all living beings into dragons. If we can obtain it, the Four Seasons Sect will definitely make a breakthrough, at least in the art of raising dragons.

But this Buddhist disciple Cizhu actually wants to exchange this scroll of scripture for a chance to meet?

What could he possibly want to see his master about?

"Yes."

"Why do you insist on seeing me?"

Li Ye's spirit was currently separated from his body, leaning against the trunk of the Ruomu tree he had transformed into, with his palms outstretched.

In his palm was a bird radiating a dazzling, fiery light. Although the bird was small, it already possessed an indescribable elegance and purity of spirit.

The flames it emitted were full of vitality, and even Li Ye felt a comfortable sensation from being "baked" by them.

【Name】：Red Pheasant · Immortal Seal · Vermilion Bird
[Mood]: Curious, apprehensive.

[Status]: A bird with some pure Vermilion Bird bloodline has been engraved with the spirit rune "Vermilion Bird". It needs to undergo multiple evolutions and transformations before it will have the opportunity to become a true Vermilion Bird.

[Can be bound]: Spirit plants that possess the Fire element.

This is the method by which the Four Seasons Sect cultivates the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts—using spirit beasts possessing the bloodline of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts to inscribe spirit patterns, and then supplementing them with some secret pills and spells to stimulate the ancestral blood and slowly nurture them into true divine beasts.

However, the divine beasts cultivated using this method are only acquired divine beasts. As for the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, which are naturally born, it is unknown how they were born. In any case, the Four Seasons Sect has not been able to figure it out so far.

"To see him or not to see him?"

"The Eastern Sea of ​​Yang is vast and boundless; raising a few dragons there seems like a good idea."

"This Buddhist disciple Cizhu..."

Li Ye gently stroked Chi Zhi's head, finally deciding to meet him. Putting everything else aside, if he could bring back information about the Dragon Transformation Pool to the sect, it would be another great achievement.

That should be enough for me to exchange for some treasures that can only be obtained through merit.

So he agreed.

Then, in an instant, he projected his divine soul into the small shop selling scales through the Heart Soil. He stepped out.

Looking at the resolute-looking Buddhist disciple Cizhu, he gestured for her to proceed.

"come in."

"I want to know if you have any connection with Cihui?"

Cizhu clasped her hands together and followed Li Ye into the small shop.

After sitting down, he took the initiative to speak:

“Master, since you have already guessed, then this humble monk has nothing to hide.”

"I would like to ask you to provide me with... a large quantity of food, enough to supply the needs of ordinary people."

what?
Li Ye was surprised for a moment.

He was prepared for the most outrageous things this guy was going to say, but instead he was offering to provide food.
Or is it the kind of food that ordinary people eat?
Has Kongxiang Temple run out of food for its mortal believers?

As far as he knew, the villages and towns in the Western Regions where Kongxiang Temple was located received fresh fruits and grains every day. The people only needed to burn incense and worship Buddha every day, and they didn't have to worry about food and livelihood at all.

Although he always felt that it was wrong to do this, he wouldn't say anything because that's how things are there.

"It's not what Kongxiang Temple needs, but what this humble monk needs himself." Cizhu, seeing Li Ye's complicated expression, knew what he was thinking and quickly explained:
"If we want to attain the Arhatship, we need to universally benefit the three thousand Buddha-lands and let our light shine throughout the Buddha-lands—in your words, we need to support the believers in three thousand small worlds."

“Now I have nurtured some Buddhist kingdoms, but we are really short of food. That’s why I remembered how the Compassionate Buddha helped your sect grow an unlimited amount of food.”

"If Master Li is willing to help me, this item will serve as a deposit. Once I attain the Arhatship, I will repay you handsomely!"

"However, Master, it's best if you learn this yourself. After all, it's better not to let too many people know about our deal—at least not too many people know that you took the secret technique of Kongxiang Temple."

Cizhu placed an old-fashioned book directly on the table.

The book's cover prominently proclaimed: "The Wonderful Method of Transforming into a Dragon."

Li Ye: “…”

So it turns out that your Kongxiang Temple requires offerings to three thousand Buddha kingdoms for those who advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and you have to do all the supporting work, plus you have to buy food from outside to make the offerings...

He inexplicably felt a sense of disconnect.

It's as strange as seeing the gods and Buddhas in a temple working to earn spirit stones after finishing their day's work.

Surprisingly, he had some gossipy thoughts.

"I have never heard of anyone who has attained the Arhatship needing to make offerings to three thousand Buddha-lands. And you are willing to use such a thing as a bargaining chip. Is there some hidden secret behind this?"

"..." Cizhu remained silent for a while, looked at Li Ye, and said softly, "This is related to my great vow. Only by making a great vow can one attain the Buddhahood."

I even know my future Buddhist chant.

Namo Lotus Ocean Compassionate Jewel Buddha.

That's why I had to do this, even if it meant offering such a wonderful method in exchange for your help... The number of Buddha positions is limited.

Li Ye frowned. This guy is really bold to say something like that, isn't he afraid that he'll just leave him here?

Or sell this information.

Many people would be unhappy to see another disciple of the Buddha emerge from Kongxiang Temple.

after all.

In this world, Taoism still holds the greatest influence.

Confucianism and Buddhism were indeed suppressed.

Perhaps they are kind elders to their own people, but when it comes to certain matters, even the true people of the Four Seasons Sect who farm the land don't mind planting a few more Buddha-suppressing trees.

But strangely enough, Li Ye felt that this person was destined to be with him—this was a perception from a celestial being, and a cultivator's inspiration has always been important.

He even had a strange premonition: this Buddhist disciple, Cizhu, would also benefit his spiritual path.

It’s weird.

What help could a Buddhist monk offer to this Taoist monk?
So after a brief moment of surprise, he smiled slightly:
"Ok."

"I will provide you with food."

"This will also be a secret between you and me, known only to a few people."

Cizhu clasped her hands together and sighed, "Then thank you very much, Master. In the future, will we... have more opportunities to trade?"

He looked at Li Ye with hopeful eyes as he said this.

A hint of clear, moist light seemed to shimmer in her clear eyes.

Li Ye awkwardly turned his face away: "Our Four Seasons Sect has done business with many people and has a close cooperation with Kongxiang Temple. This is a tradition passed down from generation to generation. If you have any needs and the price you offer is good, I will not refuse."

Hear the words.

Cizhu Buddhist disciple revealed a radiant smile.

He stood up, took out a bundle of incense and candles, and placed it on the table.

"Then thank you very much, Master Li."

"This is a sandalwood candle that I made when I had nothing else to do. It is specially offered to a Bodhisattva in the sect. Please take a look, Master."

"This humble monk will take his leave now."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together again, bowed slightly, and then turned and left.

Even their steps seemed quite cheerful.

Li Ye was left staring blankly at the objects on the table.

"They're really willing to spend that much."

"The wondrous method of transforming into a dragon..."

"And this bundle of incense and candles."

He didn't start reading the book, but instead picked up the incense and took a sniff. Sure enough, he smelled a peculiar fragrance.

It was a fragrance imbued with a deep, dragon-like aura.

In other words, this bundle of incense and candles was made from dragon materials, and may even contain a significant amount of dragon blood, possibly even heart blood.

Are there already so many dragons in Buddhism that people are willing to kill a dragon that is full of treasures and use its blood to make incense and candles?

Li Ye pondered for a moment, put down the incense and candles, picked up the ancient book, and began to read.

This document indeed records the methods for "creating" dragons.

only.

A spectacular building called the Dragon Transformation Pool is needed.

This thing requires a lot of precious and rare materials to build.

A genuine dragon's blood is also needed as a catalyst so that the creatures entering the Dragon Transformation Pool may have the potential to transform into dragons—and the most suitable creature is the carp.

Furthermore, after transforming into a dragon, it will change into a dragon with different attributes depending on the level of dragon blood injected at the beginning.

Li Ye calculated his current number of spirit stones, and then sent a message through Wei Chuan to the Spirit Vine in his cave, instructing it to prepare the materials.

If you don't try this peculiar secret method right away, you'll feel like something's missing.

He was also genuinely curious about what changes would occur if the golden-red dragon carp transformed into a dragon.

That Buddhist disciple must have been inspired by the golden-red dragon carp, so there must be some very special changes that will occur.

"However, we still need to designate a specific sea area."

"Otherwise, my cave is too small to keep a dragon... it's a bit too much for me."

Li Ye picked up a few items from the table, and his figure vanished instantly.
