451: Relics

Looking at the giant eagle that had disappeared into the horizon, a Buddhist protector asked in a low voice, "Sect Master, is this Qin An King truly the person who can break the deadlock, as spoken by the Bodhisattva?"

Wei Hongshen nodded slightly, "He is indeed the one to break the deadlock of this current tribulation."

The protector asked doubtfully, "Then why don't we cooperate with him and slowly influence him, and then use that to greatly develop our Buddhist Sect?"

Wei Hongshen said profoundly, "The seed has been planted. As for whether it can achieve flowering and fruiting, that depends on fate."

The subject of their discussion was currently discussing them.

"Qin Dage, I always feel that the Buddhist Sect Master has some ill intentions," Zhang Xiaoli frowned.

"Qin Dage, do you think there's something wrong with the bead he gave you?" Kong Qingshu echoed.

"This bead looks like an excellent item."

Qin Shilei took out the Qiankun Ring.

Qiankun Ring (Purple): A treasure of the Buddhist Sect. Wearing it not only purifies spiritual power but also resists the invasion of external demons.

[Do you want to refresh the entry?]

[Refresh.]

High Efficiency (Red): The efficiency of imperceptible influence is increased by thirty percent.

Buddhist Law Proficiency (Purple): After wearing this treasure, one can more easily comprehend the essence of Buddhist Law and improve the efficiency of cultivating Buddhist techniques.

Evil Exorcism (Purple): It emits an aura that makes yin-attribute Alien, such as demons, ghosts, and monsters, disgusted and retreat three paces. It increases damage to such Alien by fifty percent.

Qin Shilei was about to fix the Evil Exorcism entry when his gaze suddenly landed on the High Efficiency entry.

What does 'imperceptible influence' mean?

Could this bead imperceptibly influence the wearer, making him convert to Buddhism?

Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple!

The originally golden bead immediately had its brilliance contained, with only a faint layer of ethereal mist surrounding it.

Sarira (Orange): A supreme treasure left by the Buddha before his nirvana and ascension to the Buddhist kingdom. It increases the comprehension of Buddhist essence by three times, the efficiency of cultivating Buddhist techniques by five times, causes immense damage to yin-attribute Alien such as demons, ghosts, and monsters, and has various other miraculous effects. There is a chance that this Buddha can descend to this realm again through the Sarira.

Possession? Reincarnation?

These words suddenly popped into Qin Shilei's mind.

Could there be a world like the Buddhist kingdom in a distant, unknown time and space?

Did Wei Hongshen actually know this was a Sarira?

If he truly knew it was a Sarira and was willing to give away such a supreme Buddhist treasure, his intentions must be significant.

If he just accidentally gave away such a treasure, he would probably regret it bitterly once he found out.

An Qian frowned, "Shi Lei, is there really something wrong with this bead? Should we just throw it away?"

Qin Shilei handed the Sarira to the three women, "This is the legendary Sarira, and it's an excellent one. It would be a waste to just throw it away!"

The three women looked down and immediately showed a hint of surprise.

They never imagined that the Buddhist Sect would be so generous as to give away a rare orange item.

Zhang Xiaoli hesitated, "Although this Sarira is an excellent item, that Buddha might be able to descend to our Blue Star through it. At that time, he might possess the body of the Sarira's owner to descend.

This bead is too dangerous. We should handle it carefully."

An Qian and Kong Qingshu also began to persuade Qin Shilei to find a place to hide the bead.

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment, then looked at the Sarira in his hand again and chose to refresh the negative entries.

[Do you want to refresh the entry?]

[Refresh.]

Treasure Obscuration (Red): The Sarira's brilliance is completely contained, and its damage to Alien such as demons, ghosts, and monsters is reduced by fifty percent.

Lingering Buddhist Chants (Purple): The Buddha's imprint contained within the Sarira automatically recites scriptures, but these scriptures are chaotic and disordered. Those not highly proficient in Buddhist Law will be unable to enter meditative cultivation.

Seal (Orange): Completely Seals the Sarira. The Buddha of the Buddhist kingdom can no longer sense the Sarira; its effects on the comprehension of Buddhist Law and Buddhist techniques are also Sealed. Only the effect of purifying spiritual power is retained.

Speak of the devil, as long as the Seal entry is fixed, there's no need to worry about this Sarira causing any more trouble.

Qin Shilei did not immediately fix the entry. He looked up and said, "Let's go, we're going to demand an explanation from the Buddhist Sect."

Not long after, they returned to Buerdan.

The melodious bell rang again.

Wei Hongshen, leading many Buddhist Sect experts, stood in front of the main hall, smiling as he welcomed Qin Shilei and the three women.

"Four distinguished guests have graced us with their presence again. Have you forgotten something?"

Qin Shilei extended his hand, revealing the Sarira in his palm.

He said coldly, "You Buddhist Sect are truly audacious, to actually scheme against me."

Wei Hongshen focused his gaze and immediately saw the Sarira's attributes.

His face showed a burst of ecstasy, then quickly turned somewhat fearful.

Qin Shilei, who witnessed this, suddenly felt a little confused.

Could this Buddhist Sect Master truly not know this was a Sarira?

Wei Hongshen suddenly bowed to Qin Shilei, "Please forgive me, Qin An King. We truly did not know this was a Sarira, nor did we know about the hidden dangers within the Sarira. We absolutely had no intention or audacity to scheme against Qin An King."

"Really?"

Qin Shilei's eyes suddenly emitted a captivating purple light, trying to use Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple to control the other party.

However, Wei Hongshen only lost his composure for a moment before returning to normal, "Monks do not lie."

Qin Shilei stared into his eyes and asked, "Let me ask you a question: Does this Buddhist kingdom exist, and are there still Great Divine Abilities in the Buddhist Sect that surpass the Diamond Realm?"

Wei Hongshen replied sincerely, "According to the records left by our predecessors, the Buddhist kingdom indeed exists, and there are Great Divine Abilities in the Buddhist Sect that surpass the Diamond Realm. However, we currently have no information about the Buddhist kingdom, and we don't know if those Great Divine Abilities are still alive."

"Hmph." Qin Shilei snorted, "I'll consider this an unintentional mistake on your part. How do you plan to compensate me?"

As he spoke, he put the Sarira back into his Qiankun Ring.

Wei Hongshen's eyes were filled with reluctance, "Amitabha! The Sarira is extremely important to our Buddhist Sect. Qin An King, could you please return it to us?"

Qin Shilei looked at him with a half-smile but said nothing.

Wei Hongshen, with a pained expression, took out a string of prayer beads and two meditation cushions from his spatial ring.

"We are deeply sorry for our unintentional mistake. These are three supreme treasures of the Buddhist Sect. We hope Qin An King can appease his anger."

"These three items of yours aren't hiding any traps, are they?"

Qin Shilei snatched the three items, glanced at them, and then threw them into his Qiankun Ring.

"I guarantee there are no hidden traps," Wei Hongshen promised solemnly. "Then... the Sarira, can Qin An King return it to us?"

"Haha."

Qin Shilei scoffed, "Those three items were just your compensation for your mistake. If you want the Sarira, you just need to exchange it for treasures of equal value. A reminder, that's an orange-grade treasure."
