Chapter 1901: Wooden Fish (1/2)

Regardless of the result, the majority of spectators were convinced by both Qin Baili and Jin Ge for being able to protect their dao heart from temptation.

Keep in mind that this was easier said than done. It required experience and numerous sharpening The dao heart wasn’t an unreasonable ent.i.ty but it was quite hard to polish. More often than not, doing so was even harder than cultivating imperial arts.

This was because the latter had methods and text to follow. This wasn't the case for the dao heart since everyone was different. Plus, people had emotions and desires, complicating the process.

So many geniuses were peerless in terms of cultivation. They became powerful and soared like the wind, smiling proudly under the sky. Alas, due to their weak dao heart, they would drop one after another like flies. On the other hand, a few ordinary talents made it to the end to become emperors!

Here, both Jin Ge and Qin Baili had enough talents to cultivate on top of a firm dao heart. This was an amazing foundation; it would be hard for them to not stand out.

Everyone understood that Jin Ge was only missing the Heaven’s Will. If he could stop the same ambush again, he would certainly become a Grand Emperor.

“The two of you have been able to maintain your dao heart. It is my turn. Go ahead and pick the treasure.” Li Qiye sat there and said flatly.

The two darted a glance at each other. They eventually got up to carefully look at the treasures in the shrine.

There were really too many here, causing people to go crazy. Plus, it was also a test for the two to find one for Li Qiye.

A quick glance through these rare artifacts might not be enough but when they were carefully searching and a.n.a.lyzing the treasures, this was a much more dangerous game.

All eyes were on the two. Everyone understood that they had two options.

First was to randomly pick a treasure for him; this would mean a quick victory for them. The second was to actually find the best treasure in order to test Li Qiye’s dao heart.

Of course, the first choice was meaningless to these two. It would be an empty defeat. Li Qiye honorably picked the most suitable treasure for them so they wouldn’t pick a random one just to win this round.

On the contrary, they wanted to find something that would stir him, to see if he could resist the temptation.

This wasn’t about winning the bet but rather to see who was the best at protecting their dao heart.

The crowd was too excited at this point. They wanted to see which treasure these two would be able to find.

After a long search, the two convened and reached an agreement.

“Do you trust us, Brother Li?” Qin Baili smiled and said.

Li Qiye looked at the two of them: “Don’t worry, I’m sure the two of you are placing your honor on this bet, there’s nothing to be worried about.”

“Very well, to have your trust is an honor. It is also a privilege to be your enemy.” Qin Baili cupped his fist and said.

There was no doubt that the two have found a treasure for Li Qiye.

Jin Ge walked forward and respectfully bowed towards a Buddha statue sitting inside a room. With that, he raised the wooden fish in front of the statue.

He brought the wooden fish over and placed it in front of Li Qiye: “Fellow Daoist Li, this is the statue Brother Qin and I picked for you!”

Everyone was stunned to see this unexpected choice. In this shrine were countless treasures; they were exceedingly rare as well. Anyone would be attracted by the piles of treasures, not the wooden fish in front of a statue.
