Chapter 136: Five Spirits Magic Sarira (1/2)

“This is really the Daoist Master Qiankun?” Shi Yuan asked, surprised.

“It is written very clearly on the front.” Su Xing indicated towards that slab of a stone monument in the room. Written upon it from the beginning were the two words “A Chance.” Below were an additional few rows of inscriptions. The characters carved on the stele wound and twisted, written in a forceful hand. It showed the carver’s capabilities that were at the pinnacle of perfection, and the stele’s inscription was not carved with any sort of tool. When the pen flowed, it flowed smoothly, as if Cang Jie1 were creating characters, profound and mysterious.

Wu Xinjie looked and nodded. The “Wind Divine Carving”2 of the legendary Four Styles School founder Qiankun’s Four Styles Refinement was comprehended to the highest levels.

Everyone curiously looked at the inscriptions.

The inscription was written thus:

Bagua sets the Qiankun, Four Styles all same schools.

The mundane enters my gatekeeper, the heart’s wisdom births chance.

Sarira3 confers wisdom root, Creative Heaven Astral Winds4 bestowed.

This secret raises Four Styles, Our Self passes to eternity.

The inscription was very short, yet the meaning was completely simple. More or less it said, “As long as the Four Styles School disciples undid the Bagua, then This Daoist Master’s tomb could be found. After that time, because of the heart’s wisdom and resourcefulness of that disciple, a chance would be obtained. This Daoist Master will grant unto him a sarira, presenting to him the Qian Heaven Astral Winds. Use this Daoist name to raise This Sect. Our Self can serve contributions of a thousand years, fame leaving behind these annals.”

Wu Xinjie explained.

This really was the Daoist Master’s resting place.

“Ah? What kind of things are the sarira and the Creative Heaven Astral Winds?” Shi Yuan was muddled.

“Is it this?” Lin Yingmei said as she all of a sudden pointed at the skeleton that died sitting.

Su Xing and the rest shifted their gazes over and discovered after a search that an azure pearl was hidden on the skeleton. It was like jade yet not like jade, like stone yet not like stone. Su Xing held it in his hand, and he suddenly thought of something. From his person, he took out another pearl that bore a close resemblance, just that it was red in color.

Sarira?

Su Xing looked at Wu Xinjie.

“Though Xinjie has heard of Buddhist Sariras, but those are multi-colored. They are not like this.” The Knowledge Star did not understand.

The Efficacious Star suddenly recalled something, shouting in amazement: “Could it be that Five Spirits Magic Sarira??” The Efficacious Star seemed considerably shocked.

“Five Spirits Magic Sarira?” Wu Xinjie was blank.

Seeing that everyone was baffled, An Suwen swallowed and explained: “The Five Spirits Magic Sarira is a legendary tool refinement master’s highest product. The most top-notch tool refinement master on his deathbed can urge the True Flame in his body to concentrate the best feature of his body into a single piece. This is the Five Spirits Magic Sarira. This kind of Five Spirits Magic Sarira is made with the heart blood of a top-notch tool refinement master, and it could be said to be an item anyone would yearn for day and night.”

Of course, this sort of Five Spirits Magic Sarira was not that easy to find. Only those pinnacle tool refinement masters that willingly produced it could work, and in the case this tool refinement master did produce it, then he would have reached the end of his life. It could be said that the tool refinement master traded his life for it, and it would not necessarily be produced every time.

The Five Spirits Magic Sarira was even more legendary than the Buddhist Sarira. Once, the Crystal Dragon King’s Palace came out with a Five Spirits Magic Sarira, and its worth in gold was more than a hundred billion liang!

When Su Xing finished listening, he was shocked: “Isn’t that saying this type of sarira could change a rookie into a tool refinement scholar?”

“Besides tool refinement skill not at the level of a great scholar’s, using it for a tool refinement’s pinnacle True Flame is very much on the level of a great scholar.” Wu Xinjie said. A tool refinement master’s True Flame needed to accumulate a hundred years be able to refine a Five Spirits Magic Sarira. Its power naturally could be imagined.

“How very defiant of the natural order.” Su Xing clicked his tongue.

“So terrifying. Then Su Xing can become a great scholar after refining it?” Shi Yuan blinked, somewhat excited.

“Is this also a Five Spirits Magic Sarira?” Su Xing held up the red pearl and asked.

This piece was obtained from Yuchi Qingshan, meaning he also was a peak tool refinement scholar.

An Suwen examined it and drew in a breath of cold air. She looked at Su Xing in disbelief: “Big Brother, you perhaps are this world’s most envied person. This is a Five Spirits Magic Sarira. From the color, it seems to be ‘Fire type.’”

“The Daoist Master Qiankun’s is wind?”

“Yes.”

“With things like this, Master having two sariras of “Fire” and “Wind” is equivalent to a tool refinement scholar.” Yan Yizhen stared blankly.

“However, refining it requires time. But if Big Brother wants to master the Four Styles Refining, it can actually save much time.” An Suwen said. If they proceeded, Su Xing’s Five Styles would have the three types of “Earth,” “Fire,” and “Wind.” If only he mastered “Water” and “Thunder,” then it would be settled. The form was not just very good, it was a major good.

“And where is that Creative Heaven Astral Wind Art?” Lin Yingmei asked.

“Right under your nose.”

Su Xing looked all around the walls. The complex and cryptic relief sculptures like tadpoles on the wall were densely packed and decorated the entire room.

“Everything on these?” Shi Yuan’s eyes spun. “He made things so troublesome and for what.”

“This also is probably a test.” Wu Xinjie guessed. The Bagua mechanism of a tomb hidden underground or the Bagua Terror Inflicting Array just now, perhaps the Daoist Master Qiankun wanted to choose someone that, regardless of the root of wisdom, was a disciple whose capabilities that were outstanding to inherit his Creative Heaven Astral Winds. In addition, the characters on this wall were the final hoop. If these writings were ignored, even if the Five Spirits Magic Sarira was obtained, it could not display its effects.

To Su Xing, this was not a difficult problem.

The Heart Like Mirror Absolute Sincerity Soul Technique broke, and those complex characters were projected into his ocean of consciousness. In an instant, the incantation upon it appeared line by line. Su Xing hurriedly memorized it, discovering that besides the Creative Heaven Astral Winds secret, the entire room’s script had additionally hidden an “Innate Qiankun Escape Technique.”5

“Disciple Su Xing, though the Four Styles School cannot guarantee that it can bring you to the height of your development, it will exhaust everything it can.”6

Su Xing carefully bowed towards the Daoist Master Qiankun three times with his arms held in front of him. The Daoist Master Qiankun putting so much consideration into this had made him moved.

After reigniting the Longevity Lamps in this grave, only then did Su Xing and the girls leave this quiet tomb.
