Chapter 293 Obtaining the Five-Element Pearls Again
What should I do when a big shot who I can’t beat wants to seal my lips with a gift?
Li Changshou’s first reaction was to reject him.
He had already obtained the treasure that he liked. If he took more treasures, he would owe Daoist Duobao karma.
However, Daoist Duobao… was too generous!
Seeing that Li Changshou was too embarra.s.sed to extend his hand, Daoist Duobao shook his sleeve. The entire valley was instantly illuminated by the light of treasures.
The Postnatal numinous treasures, which were full of spirituality, slowly rippled around Li Changshou. From top to bottom, left to right, they completely surrounded Li Changshou seamlessly! Li Changshou, who had almost been blinded by the light of the treasures, silently raised his hand to cover his chest.
It was very painful there.
What kind of “treasure uncle” would be able to take out hundreds or thousands of treasures so calmly and tell him to choose whatever he wanted? At the very least, he had to take away something that was as tall as him.
Something as tall as me…
Does that mean that the treasures he takes out would be as tall as me after being stacked together?
Then, there would be a huge difference between taking pearls and taking paG.o.das, depending on if he placed them together horizontally or stacked them vertically…
“How is it? Do you like any of these?”
Daoist Duobao smiled calmly outside the circle of numinous treasures. “If there’s nothing you like, I’ll give you a few more batches to choose from. We can slowly pick some out!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He seemed to have seen Daoist Duobao wearing a huge golden chain around his neck, a huge golden watch on his hand, and a golden silk robe. He sat in a round chair and leaned back.
What is a treasure-hunting professional?
This is too exciting! Then, Li Changshou realized something sadly…
Previously, he had gotten the treasure-seeking paper effigies to move around in the Middle Continent. In his boredom, he had made a “Primordial Spirit Treasure Record” and collected all kinds of famous numinous treasures. Back then, he thought that he had already gotten to know most of the Primordial Spirit Treasures.
When Li Changshou saw Daoist Duobao display his treasures today, he realized that he knew too little.
The treasures flying around him were all Postnatal numinous treasures. There were even a few top-grade Postnatal numinous treasures!
Treasures that were not Postnatal or lacked spirituality would never appear in Daoist Duobao’s collection!
The quality of those treasures was not low and they were rather powerful. They were rarely revealed in front of others. Daoist Duobao only used them as bricks, so they were not famous and were not known by others.
That name list is a younger brother. Let’s add the word ‘little’ in front.
“Senior.” Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute. He wanted to wave his hand, clench his fists, and shout domineeringly, “I want all of them.” However, he ultimately suppressed his impulse. He could not deepen the karma between him and Jie School.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission.
“The Great Daoist Master has instructed me that my cultivation is not deep enough. I cannot rely on Dharma treasures, lest I neglect my cultivation. If you insist on giving me a gift, Senior, why don’t you give me a set of Five Elements numinous treasures of the same grade? I’ve been studying some Five-Element Arrays recently, and I can use them. The Great Daoist Master had said that no matter how many treasures I have, they cannot be integrated into my Great Dao. It would not benefit my cultivation. I’ll swear that it’s my first time meeting you, Senior. I didn’t see anything previously.”
The ‘Heaven’ No. 1 s.h.i.+eld – Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.
At that moment, Li Changshou recited the Great Dao oath in a clear voice. He said that if he spread what he had seen previously, the Heavenly Dao would punish him.
Duobao pondered for a while and looked at Li Changshou with a complicated gaze. He sighed and said, “Changgeng, don’t be like this. I trust your character.”
As he spoke, Daoist Duobao smiled. He opened his sleeve and retrieved all the numinous treasures. He looked at Li Changshou apologetically. “Changgeng, your cultivation level is not high and you are still young. How can your words be so memorable? Indeed, no matter how many treasures you have, it would be useless. One or two Connate numinous treasures that can protect the Dao and suppress your destiny would be enough. At the end of the day, you can’t integrate them into my Great Dao.”
Duobao sighed deeply and said, “Wait a moment. I remember that I have collected a set of treasures for thousands of years. It happens to belong to the Five Elements.”
Li Changshou held the Copper Coin of Treasurefall and could not help but look forward to it.
Daoist Duobao fumbled in his sleeve for a while. He was about to reach his entire arm in to fish out five pearls of different colors.
The five pearls were obviously a set of Dharma treasures. They contained the power of the Five Elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The power of the Five Elements was extremely pure without any impurities. If the Earth Elemental Pearl that Youqin Xuanya had given him was only an Elementary Five-Element Pearl, the five pearls today were the limit of Postnatal treasures!
Daoist Duobao raised his hand and pushed them over. The five pearls slowly flew over and rotated around Li Changshou.
Li Changshou did not know what kind of mystical ability Daoist Duobao had used, but the five pearls had already recognized him as their master. They sent him a warm message, and many insights regarding the Five-Element Dao Techniques surfaced in his heart…
Li Changshou opened his hands and the five pearls flew over slowly. They landed in Li Changshou’s palm and floated up and down.
Just as he was about to put away the treasure and thank Duo Bao, Li Changshou suddenly exclaimed softly. He felt a wisp of ethereal Dao runes that seemed to contain the concept of transcendence in the five pearls… Can the five beads be considered Connate numinous treasure?
Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. Using such Connate numinous treasures as the core of the array formation of Little Qiong Peak was too much of a waste.
“Senior, this pearl is too precious…”
“Hey!”
Daoist Duobao frowned. “Changgeng, are you looking down on me? It’s just a little trinket. Keep it. I’ve already said that this is a form of apology for hurting your incarnation!”
“Thank you for the treasure, Senior!”
Li Changshou bowed and put the Five-Element Pearls and the pair of Copper Coins of Treasurefall in the two treasure pouches.
He had not wasted the effort that he had put in in the past six months.
Daoist Duobao seemed to have let go of something. There was a hint of relief in his eyes. He smiled and said, “Changgeng, come with me… Eh? Why is he here?”
Who?
Li Changshou was wary. Daoist Duobao raised his hand and pointed at the sky. The violet gold alms bowl that enveloped a radius of 500 kilometers trembled and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in Duobao’s palm and turned into an alms bowl that had a five-inch diameter. It was stowed back in Duobao’s sleeve.
Then, Duobao raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. “Let’s go!”
After saying that, he jumped lightly. The environment around the two of them changed and appeared… in the cave that Li Changshou had just walked through, which had been dug out by Daoist Duo Bao.
The cave was no small matter. It was a treasure cave that the eldest disciple of Jie School had dug. Its concealment was excellent.
The two of them squatted in the corner of the treasure cave. Daoist Duobao took out a mirror, which was a treasure, from his chest pocket and exhaled at it. A white cloud appeared in the mirror at lightning speed.
An old Daoist priest sat on the white cloud. There was a faint cloud around him.
However, Daoist Duo Bao spat at the mirror again. The clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the old Daoist priest’s true appearance. He was dressed in a brown Daoist robe and had a square face. He placed his hands on his temples and ears. There was a bronze lamp on his shoulder. Isn’t he the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, Daoist Randeng?
Daoist Duobao was afraid that Li Changshou did not know him. He took the initiative to introduce him. “This is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. According to him, he is of the same generation as the three of us. I usually have to call him Uncle-Master when I see him.”
Li Changshou was enlightened. He hurriedly said, “Senior, if he’s still far away, let’s leave first.”
“He saw my alms bowl and has seen me using it before…”
Daoist Duobao pondered for a while and said, “I’m not busy. Let’s see what he’s doing here first. Although he’s a senior of our Dao Sect, I’m not afraid of him.”
