Chapter 405: The Relics of the Gods
Du Yuan saw Fang Xiao looking disappointed, but it was also within his expectations.
"Fellow Daoist, you are probably interested in this Acalanatha Sutra.
In fact, this Acalanatha Sutra, and even all kinds of Buddhist exercises that I know of, are not suitable for Fellow Daoist Fang.
This is because practicing these skills and secret techniques not only requires a deep understanding of Buddhism, but also requires hundreds or even thousands of years of meditation skills.
It was based on my merits in my previous life that I was able to refine the Acalanatha Sutra, but even so it still took nearly a hundred years.
Of course, if Fellow Daoist Fang insists, I can give you the Acalanatha Sutra now."
After hearing this explanation, Fang Xiao completely gave up the idea of obtaining the spiritual skills from Du Yuan.
It's no wonder that Du Yuan claimed that he was not good at the art of attack, because he had been in the world for a hundred years, and apart from practicing, he basically spent all his time on the Acalanatha Sutra.
Although Fang Xiao was the kind of person who enjoyed practicing, he totally could not accept the Buddhist practice philosophy.
“No, no, there is no need to mention this matter again, but there is one other thing.
It is a tacit understanding that all forces should work together to obstruct the royal court's plan.
Why did Daoist Fellow Du Yuan want to help Wang Ting succeed?"
“So it’s about this matter. Fellow Daoist Fang can rest assured about this.
The spiritual veins of Donghua Province have been trapped here for a long time. Once the suppression formation is opened, these spiritual veins will return to the entire Donghua Province.
Even if the royal court is prepared, it will not be able to compete for more than one state. This is the general trend.
Even if we can intercept the spiritual vein, it will be very limited."
Du Yuan obviously only cared about the ascension platform and didn't care about those spiritual veins at all.
But if this is the case, it is not unacceptable.
After all, the spiritual vein was returned to Donghua Province, and it was still in the Eastern Region, under the jurisdiction of the Tianlan Sect.
Although the spiritual vein will hide again under the thick soil of the mountains, finding it again will only require more effort.
“It seems that the Buddhist sect is determined to unlock the meridian suppression formation, so it is not impossible for Fang to give up.
I just don’t know which True Lord has reached the threshold of ascension, or whether it is Brother Duyuan who is in a hurry to return to the spiritual world and needs an ascension platform so urgently.
If I were to use the conditions that Daoist Fellow Du Yuan had agreed to earlier to obtain the ownership of this Ascension Platform, I wonder if you would be willing."
Since Du Yuan insisted so much, Fang Xiao had no choice but to make the matter of the ascension platform clear.
"So Fellow Daoist Fang already knew about it, but the Ascension Platform is extremely important to Buddhism, so I'm sorry I can't agree to it."
Du Yuan acted as if he would not back down, as if the Ascension Platform was far more important than the Prison-Suppressing Pagoda.
"In that case, I won't force you to do anything. Let's compete fairly.
However, if the ascension platform finally falls into your hands, could you allow our Tianlan Sect and Beiming Sword Sect to use it unconditionally?
Even if it's in exchange for the Prison-Suppressing Pagoda, what are the conditions?"
With Du Yuan's intervention, it was no longer possible for Fang Xiao to continue to stop Wang Ting's actions.
But he will never let go of the ascension platform and he must fight for it.
Moreover, he has Li Mobai on his side, so he may not be defeated by Buddhism.
Of course, the necessary insurance is still there. If it is really snatched away by the Buddhists, it would be a good deal to exchange the incomplete Prison-Suppressing Pagoda for the right to use the Ascension Platform.
"Amitabha, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Fang said and compete fairly.
If Buddhism wins, I will take charge and grant both sects temporary use rights.
But if the ascension platform is obtained by your sect, please open the door for our Buddhist sect.
Of course, the three conditions I promised Fellow Daoist Fang still stand."
Originally Du Yuan thought that no one knew about the ascension platform, so naturally there would be no competitors.
Now that the Tianlan Sect has intervened, we no longer have the certainty of success, but we naturally have to ensure that we will have the opportunity to borrow money later.
In this way, a result that satisfied both parties was achieved.
Fang Xiao naturally had no objection to this, and he directly put forward the first condition, which was the relics.
Although relics are considered a taboo in Buddhism.
But the two sides negotiated for such a long time that Fang Xiao also made many concessions.
If the first condition cannot be met, it will appear somewhat insincere.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Yuan finally made a difficult decision.
"The relics are what we, the Buddhists, leave behind after we pass away. They also represent our achievements in this life. They should not be given to others.
But since I have promised Fellow Daoist Fang, I have no choice but to respond.
But I will not carry the relics of Buddhist disciples with me. This one is the only one left by the Buddhist sect when they killed a demon monk who rebelled against Buddhism.
I originally intended to use it to practice a secret technique, but now I am giving it to Fellow Daoist Fang."
Du Yuan took out a hexagonal sandalwood box from his arms, and inside the box was a round, orange-yellow gem. If it wasn't a relic, what else could it be?
Fang Xiao saw that he hesitated for a long time and only took out one relic, and he still felt unwilling.
I just feel that exchanging a condition for a relic is a losing deal.
However, the Zhenkong Sword suddenly spoke to remind Fang Xiao.
“What a treasure! This relic should have come from a Buddhist cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage. And judging from its quality, this person’s cultivation level during his lifetime was definitely more than just at the Spiritualization Stage.
This is really a big deal, Fang Xiao, you won’t lose out on this deal.”
Du Yuan seemed to have sensed something and glanced at the Zhenkong Sword, but did not say much.
After hearing what Zhenkong Sword Spirit said, Fang Xiao was also shocked.
He originally thought that Du Yuan was sending him away with the relics of the Nascent Soul Buddhist cultivator, and was planning to ask for a few more, but he didn't expect that he would even be willing to give him the relics of the Divine Transformation Buddhist cultivator.
How could Fang Xiao refuse such a good thing? He immediately pulled it from the reluctant Du Yuan's hands.
"Daoyou Duyuan is indeed worthy of being a great master in the spiritual world and a great Buddhist master. He actually gave me this item. I am grateful to him."
Seeing Fang Xiao couldn't wait to pick up the relic and play with it, Du Yuan's mouth twitched.
"As long as Fellow Daoist Fang is satisfied, I hope you will use this item properly."
Fang Xiao nodded repeatedly, sighing in his heart that he would also refine such treasures carefully so that not even a single bit would be wasted.
He then informed Li Mobai of the current situation.
Finally, Fang Xiao decided to follow Du Yuan, the great transfer master, so that he would not fall behind after the ascension platform came into being.
As for Li Mobai, he continued to clear out the people and let go of those who were willing to leave. Of course, no one was unwilling to leave. After all, compared to that, saving one's life was more important.
If we can ultimately stop Wang Ting from destroying the formation, that would be the best outcome.
But if not, Li Mobai will come as soon as possible to join Fang Xiao and fight for the ownership of the ascension platform.
As for the spiritual veins, with the guarantee of Du Yuan, a powerful person who can turn disasters into fortune, it is obvious that their eventual return to Donghua Province is an irreversible trend.
If the Royal Court of Middle-earth has the ability, it can try to intercept it.
But once it is integrated into Donghua Province, they will no longer be able to take it just because they want to.
