Apart from Aqing, who has already gone to the immortal realm, she is the oldest in the group.

In the capital, Shangguan Haitang looked at the Blood Bodhi in her hand, but ultimately did not take it.

Even those at the pinnacle can increase their power by at least four years; if she takes it, she will become a grandmaster.

But the medicine's potency will also be wasted, which is a dilemma.

Therefore, apart from a few top-tier experts, only Yaoyue and Huang Xuemei in the group consumed the Blood Bodhi in preparation for attempting to reach the top.

And will take three pills.

As for the bottleneck leading to the pinnacle, there is no bottleneck under the effect of sudden enlightenment.

Xiaomeng: Can you give me a breakthrough? @Linzhu

[Ding! Lin Zhu has sent five Blood Bodhi stones. Xiaomeng, do you wish to receive them?]

Xiaomeng: Yes! Thank you, little brother. I'm nineteen, almost at the peak, hahaha! I'll come find you then to cultivate the Great Dao together. @Linzhu

She lost her composure for a moment.

Huang Rong: You're repaying kindness with enmity!

Zhao Min: Yes, they never stop taking advantage of others.

Xiaomeng: I was talking about cultivating the Great Dao together, not cultivating the Great Dao together. You two are so young, don't overthink it.

Wanwan: Why did you give it to her just because she asked for it? @Linzhu

Lin Zhu: Because I want to! @婠婠

Wanwan: Then, I want one too, can I have it?

Lin Zhu: No, I won't give it to you until you become a Grandmaster.

Wanwan: What about Shan Wanjing? She's not a Grandmaster. There's also Sheng Yayu, Wang Yuyan, Li Ji, and Shangguan Haitang.

Lin Zhu: They have strong self-control, unlike you, who must be like Sister Rong'er, both bad at playing and playful.

Huang Rong: You can talk about her, but don't drag me into it!

You Ruo: That's right, how can this little witch compare to our lovely Rong'er?

Wanwan: I'm pretty too, okay!

Zhu Yuyan: Can I have two? @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: No, you have a bad reputation.

Shan Meixian: Hahaha, why do I suddenly feel a bit better?

Fan Qinghui: Yes, the sky over Dita Peak is exceptionally blue today.

Wanwan: You're bullying me! Waaaaaah! JPG @Linzhu

Emperor Tafeng Mountain, Fan Qinghui made some preparations: Young friend, what do you think of my Cihang Jingzhai? @Linzhu

Lin Zhu: Almost.

Zhu Yuyan: Hahaha, well said. Their Cihang Jingzhai is not much different from our Shengmen. They do not engage in production and only know how to exploit the people. In this respect, our Shengmen is inferior to them.

Lin Zhu: You've gotten so proud! @Zhu Yuyan

Shan Wanjing: You've become arrogant!

Zhu Yuyan became withdrawn, her face turning ashen, but she was helpless against Lin Zhu, with Wu Xingyun above her!

Wanwan was furious in the room, yelling, "That damned Lin Zhu, I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

Wu Xingyun: Alright, alright, time's up. Go back and cultivate. Hurry up and reach the Grandmaster level, then you won't be far from the pinnacle.

[Ding! Lin Zhu has sent fifteen Blood Bodhi seeds. Feng Heng, do you wish to receive them?]

Feng Heng: There are more for me? How come there are fifteen?

Lin Zhu: I only remembered Sister Rong'er yesterday.

Feng Heng: Very good! I have high hopes for you. (Received!)

Huang Yaoshi has already reached the pinnacle of his martial arts skills and is currently in seclusion, so he does not need the Blood Bodhi.

However, you can use the Blood Bodhi to consolidate your realm after breaking through.

Lin Zhu: Aunt, when Uncle Huang comes out of seclusion, we can let him try to refine some pills using the Blood Bodhi.

Feng Heng: That's a good idea.

Medical Master (IP Langya): Actually, I can help with this too.

The master of both medicine and poison (IP Central Plains): I can do that too.

[Ding! Lin Zhu has sent ten Blood Bodhi stones. Do you wish to accept them, fellow healers?]

[Ding! Lin Zhu has sent ten Blood Bodhi stones. Does the Healer and Poison Master wish to accept them?]

The Great Physician (IP Langya): Duanmu Rong thanks little brother Lin.

The Doctor and Poison Master (IP Central Plains): Zi Nu thanks little brother Lin.

Lin Zhu: Could you please not add the word "little" before "younger brother"?

[Ding, detected...]

Duanmu Rong and Zi Nu both gained half a year's worth of cultivation.

Purple Girl: Okay, little brother. (Covering mouth and laughing)

Duanmu Rong: Okay, little brother.

Lin Zhu was too depressed to reply.

He is now on a small boat, drifting alone down the Yangtze River, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Before we knew it, we had been drifting for three days and arrived in Jingzhou.

We've gone a bit too far. To borrow the Jade Bed from the ancient tomb, we need to head further northwest.

So he disembarked, did not enter Jingzhou City, and headed directly northwest.

Jingzhou, also known as Jiangling.

Judging by the direction of Zhongnan Mountain, Lin Zhu headed straight there.

He stopped as he passed an abandoned temple.

The main reason is that this temple is very large, covering more than 100 acres, and is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with a beautiful environment. It is also not too far from Jingzhou City, so it should not be abandoned.

There must be something fishy going on.

Driven by curiosity, he walked up to the temple.

Above, a crooked plaque bore the three large characters "Tianning Temple".

Jingzhou City, Tianning Temple!

Lin Zhu remembered: Liancheng Jue, which was also known as the treasure.

His bright eyes darted around; he wanted the treasure here, if it existed.

The temple's main gate was wide open, as if welcoming him.

After Lin Zhu walked in, he noticed some subtle, faint traces of human intervention, as if they had been deliberately hidden.

The trail leads directly to the main hall.

He sensed that Tianning Temple was empty.

Then he walked straight toward the Mahavira Hall.

In the main hall, a Buddha statue about three zhang tall is covered in dust.

He sat cross-legged on a lotus stone platform, his face benevolent.

If this statue is indeed made of solid gold, its weight would be no less than 100 tons, which is equivalent to more than two million taels of gold and more than twenty million taels of silver.

Lin Zhu took a deep breath. More than 20 million taels of silver, how long can that last?

So he acted decisively, cutting through gold and jade, and severing one of the Buddha's fingers.

It wasn't the hand making the OK sign, but the other one.

Lin Zhu asked if it was okay to cut it down, as long as the Buddha statue remained unchanged, it was fine!

Chapter 176 Treasure

The cut is smooth like a mirror, and it's golden; it's gold, and judging by the color, it's very pure.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Zhu jumped onto the stone platform, grabbed the Buddha statue, and then started communicating with the chat group.

[Ding! Lin Zhu has sent a golden Buddha statue. Does Wu Xingyun wish to accept it?]

Wu Xingyun: What? This is Lingjiu Palace, a Taoist temple. What's with you sending me a Buddha statue? @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: Grandma, this is a golden Buddha statue made entirely of gold, worth more than two million taels of gold.

Wu Xingyun was startled: "Receive! What have you done now?"

Lin Zhu: I've found a treasure trove, and this is just the beginning. Let me take another look.

Wu Xingyun: Very good, you've sent them all over. I'll save them for you. Just ask me when you need them.

Lin Zhu: Okay!

Wanwan: No, how come you always seem to run into all sorts of good things?

Lin Zhu: Opportunity favors the prepared mind. Even if you stumble upon this treasure, you won't notice it.

Fan Qinghui: Buddha statues are rare, and we must not act disrespectfully.

Lin Zhu: Don't worry, I only cut off his index finger. I asked Buddha, and He agreed.

"Huh?" The four people in Cihang Jingzhai looked at each other in bewilderment. The Buddha statue was an inanimate object, how could they possibly agree?

Fan Qinghui: How is that possible?

Lin Zhu: Look, isn't this gesture the same as the "OK" gesture in the group chat? OK·JPG
