Chapter 370: Buddhist Treasures and Harvests
2024-10-14
【Golden Wood Spirit Vessel: A medium-grade flying magical tool crafted from the trunk of the Spirit Tree Bodhi.】
【When this magical artifact is driven with full force, it flies at an extremely fast speed, but its defense is average.】
【The original owner of this spirit tool has perished, and their soul imprint has vanished, allowing it to recognize a new master.】
...
"A flying magical artifact."
After the death of the grey-robed elder, the golden gondola shrank to the size of a palm.
When Lu Qing used his abilities to investigate the information about the small boat, a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, when he saw the grey-robed monk soaring through the sky, he had already been quite envious of this magical tool.
Flying magical artifacts were always rare.
Although not as precious as spatial magical artifacts, they were still quite uncommon.
He possessed the Fire Separation Cauldron and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Breath Bag, both spirit tools, as well as the Five Elements Gourd, his life-bound magical treasure.
These treasures were both offensive and defensive, very comprehensive, and naturally also had flight capabilities.
However, the two spirit tools and the Five Elements Gourd were of too high a grade; with Lu Qing's current cultivation level, even if he exerted all his strength, he could only unleash a tiny fraction of their power.
To control their flight, one would need an immense amount of spiritual energy; even if Lu Qing exhausted himself, he wouldn't be able to fly very far.
But this golden gondola was different; its grade wasn't particularly high, and as a magical artifact, it was just right for Lu Qing's current use.
"Young Master, do you want to refine this boat?"
At this moment, a phantom of 'Flame' appeared beside Lu Qing.
"Indeed, this boat is a flying magical artifact, and the grade of both you and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Breath Bag is too high for me to drive them in flight.
Although this boat is merely a magical artifact, it suits my current needs."
Lu Qing explained.
'Flame' nodded in agreement.
Indeed, driving a spirit tool in flight was never easy and required a massive amount of spiritual energy.
Of course, the speed of a spirit tool's flight was far beyond that of ordinary flying magical artifacts.
Traveling a hundred li in an instant was effortless, and with the power driven to its extreme, one could cross a large province in the blink of an eye, which was quite normal.
Unfortunately, these abilities were still far beyond Lu Qing's reach.
Controlling a spirit tool in flight was never something a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator could achieve, not even at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Lu Qing gazed intently at the golden gondola in his hand and began to refine and recognize it with his soul.
With the grey-robed elder's death, the golden gondola had become an ownerless object, and as the magical artifact lacked a spirit, Lu Qing easily imprinted his divine soul in the core of the boat's restrictions, completely refining it.
As soon as the refinement was complete, Lu Qing felt a connection with the boat's soul, and he could sense that it was linked to his soul.
With a slight nudge, the boat could expand and fly through the air.
However, he didn't do so; the situation outside was still unclear, and the trace of aura he had sensed earlier, which could bring danger, might still be present.
Leaving now might lead to an encounter, so it was better to wait and test it later.
Lu Qing put away the golden gondola and took out a ball of golden light, a pale golden bead, and a golden shuttle from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Breath Bag.
This time, by killing the grey-robed elder and the other elders of Floating Mountain, he obtained four treasures in total.
The other elders might also have treasures, but he hadn't had time to collect them.
Lu Qing examined the remaining three treasures.
The ball of golden light wasn't just a simple glow but a soft, golden radiance, like water, and as smooth as silk.
It was quite heavy and substantial.
When Lu Qing unfolded it, he discovered it was a golden monk's robe, thin as a cicada's wing, woven from an unknown material.
He then turned his attention to the pale golden bead, which was as smooth as jade but neither gold nor jade, a unique material.
As for the golden shuttle, it seemed to be refined from a type of skeletal material that had turned into jade.
Lu Qing began to investigate using his abilities.
First, he examined the golden monk's robe, thin as a cicada's wing.
【Vajra Robe: A top-grade Buddhist-Dao magical tool.】
【Woven from Vajra Silk, it is infused with Buddhist restrictions, providing both offense and defense with extraordinary power.】
【Buddhist Treasures require Buddhist cultivation techniques to be activated to reach their full potential.
……
Lu Qing turned his attention to the bead and the Golden Shuttle.
【Golden Vajra Relic: A relic crafted from the remains of a Golden Core Realm Buddhist cultivator after their nirvana.】
【Contains a trace of the power of a Golden Core Realm Buddhist cultivator, and when activated by Buddhist secret techniques, it can summon the Buddha Avatar.】
【Only Buddhist cultivators at the Golden Core Realm or above can refine and produce relics.】
……
【Golden Buddha Bone Shuttle: Crafted from the remains of a Golden Core Realm Buddhist cultivator after their nirvana.】
【Contains a trace of the power of a Golden Core Realm Buddhist cultivator, and when activated by Buddhist secret techniques, it can unleash the power of Buddha Wrath, possessing formidable destructive force.】
【A Buddhist offensive magical artifact, it requires the activation of Buddhi Energy to unleash its full power.】
……
After reading the information about the three treasures, Lu Qing felt a bit disappointed.
The Vajra Robe, the relic, and the Golden Shuttle were all excellent treasures, with a higher grade than the Golden Gondola.
However, unlike the Golden Gondola, these magical artifacts were infused with powerful Buddhist restrictions, requiring a deep understanding of Buddhist cultivation techniques and the use of Buddhi Energy to unleash their full potential.
For Lu Qing, this made them somewhat impractical.
After examining the information, he placed them into the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag, intending to figure out how to utilize them in the future.
Having reviewed the information about the treasures, Lu Qing began to reflect on his recent battle.
The fight with Xuan Yi and the others was manageable; with Lu Qing's current strength, Primordial Realm cultivators were hardly a match for him.
Moreover, since he had launched a surprise attack, it was only natural that he overwhelmed them.
The key battle was against the Grey Robe Elder, which brought Lu Qing a wealth of insights.
As a fully accomplished Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, even after self-amputation, the Grey Robe Elder could still be considered the strongest opponent Lu Qing had ever faced.
The Grey Robe Elder's offensive capabilities were equally formidable.
Whether it was the Golden Shuttle's radiance or the Buddha Avatar, each move, enhanced by the power of magical treasures, possessed astonishing might.
Furthermore, standing atop the Golden Gondola, a flying magical artifact, gave them an aerial advantage.
Lu Qing reckoned that if it weren't for him, even a fully accomplished Primordial Realm warrior might struggle to last a round against the Grey Robe Elder.
Even Lu Qing had to resort to using many of his trump cards, employing various strategies to force the Grey Robe Elder into close combat before successfully defeating him.
This further highlighted the formidable strength of Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouses.
"However, this battle has also given me an idea of my current upper limits."
Lu Qing examined his palm, deep in thought.
In his battle against the Grey Robe Elder, Lu Qing had employed numerous techniques—blade techniques, archery, fist techniques, domains, Earth Pulse Magnetic Force, and Body Cultivation power.
One could say that aside from his two trump cards—spirit tools and innate supernatural abilities—he had already exerted his full strength.
Through this, he had also gained an understanding of his current level of strength.
Without relying on his two innate supernatural abilities, his inherent power was likely on par with an average fully accomplished Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Of course, even so, Lu Qing would never underestimate any Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
The strength of cultivators was not static.
At the same cultivation level, cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and factors such as temperament could significantly influence a cultivator's power.
Take the Grey Robe Elder, for example; without those Buddhist magical treasures, as a Dharmic cultivator, he wouldn't be much stronger than an ordinary Primordial Realm warrior in front of Lu Qing, who could easily blast him apart.
But once equipped with magical treasures and using them skillfully, even Lu Qing had to employ various strategies to defeat him.
This demonstrated how significantly a good magical treasure could enhance a cultivator's strength.
Lu Qing didn't want to underestimate any opponent's magical treasures due to his own overconfidence.
So, despite defeating a fully accomplished Foundation Establishment Stage enemy, he wouldn't underestimate other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
After organizing his thoughts about the battle, Lu Qing calmed his mind and entered a state of cultivation, preparing for the next surprise attack.
Having come to the Western Province, he didn't plan to return so soon.
With Floating Mountain's ambition to unify the Western Province and establish Buddhist faith, Lu Qing couldn't just stand by and watch them succeed.
He was determined to crush Floating Mountain's ambitions personally!
