Chapter 92 - Everyone was shocked (2/2)

It was especially so in the case of Yang Chengsi, who was feeling extremely regretful about his previous actions. He had been looking at the world through a slit and had grossly underestimated the giant before him, thinking that he could throw his weight around just because Lu Xuan was young.

Come to think of it, I had almost dug my own grave back there, he thought.

He was compelled to think of ways to make things up to Lu Xuan and bury the hatchet. Lu Xuan might not harbor any ill will towards Yang Chengsi at the moment, but if he ever did, Yang Chengsi would definitely end up dead for sure.

It was precisely due to him being a Martial Arts Legends that he knew so well just how terrifying the National Guardian level, which was above the Martial Arts Legend Level, was. A vagrant cultivator like him would not have been able to reach the National Guardian level under conventional circumstances, even if he were to train for another ten years.

Furthermore, it did not seem like reaching such a level would have been of any use. Even the likes of Aida Ryosuke had not been able to fight Lu Xuan for long, after all.

Lu Xuan was probably a terrifying behemoth, even among National Guardians.

“Master Buyi,” Lu Xuan called.

“What is it, Mr. Lu?”

Monk Buyi went up to Lu Xuan immediately. He dared not behave in any way that suggested that he was superior.

“I heard that there are many masters in Shaolin Temple who are very knowledgeable about Buddhism. I wonder if any of the masters would be interested in this?” Lu Xuan turned his hand over and revealed a wooden fish in his palm.

Lu Xuan did not bother concealing the fact that he had a spatial power item on his person; he wasn’t afraid if anybody else knew. Anyone who dared to have any ideas about it would practically be digging their own grave.

“This…” Monk Buyi’s pupils contracted somewhat, and his breathing became rushed.

There was no doubt that the wooden fish was a power item.

Furthermore, it was one of Buddhist nature.

The monk himself was already at Level Six Martial Arts Legend Level, so his training definitely involved the mind and the spirit. As such, he was able to see that the wooden fish was anything but ordinary.

The wooden fish emanated a faint Buddhist aura, making it obvious that it was probably an item that belonged to some master who had infused the item with their power for years. This power was gradually transmitted into the item in some ways.

“You’re correct. This is indeed a power item, one that I chanced upon before. I wonder if you’re interested in it, Master Buyi?” Lu Xuan said.

“I definitely am!” Monk Buyi said immediately.

He did not bother beating around the bush at all, because he knew any front would have been pointless before Lu Xuan. Also, doing so would have only made him a walking joke.

He, too, knew just how precious the wooden fish was, so much so that it was impossible that it belonged to just one master before. Knocking on such a wooden fish when chanting sutras would have enabled Buddhist practitioners to get into the zone very quickly, which would then benefit their cultivation greatly.

That power item was even more precious to such practitioners than any other common power item.

Lu Xuan nodded with a grin. The wooden fish would have greatly benefitted Buddhist practitioners but was of limited use to him. Furthermore, his level of mind, at the moment, was such that he had no use for such items at all.

“Alright, I shall sell the wooden fish to the temple for 100 million yuan,” Lu Xuan said plainly.

“Alright, we are taking it,” Monk Buyi replied right away. While 100 million was an astronomical amount of money to common folk, the Southern Shaolin Temple—a renowned clan with a long history—would be able to amass it, although not without some measure of difficulty.

However, the difficulty was nothing compared to the wooden fish right before the monk’s eyes.

Furthermore, his brother-in-training—Master Bushuo—was at the precipice of making a breakthrough. Becoming a National Guardian would now only be a matter of time with the help of the wooden fish.

Once the Southern Shaolin Temple had a National Guardian in charge, their supreme status in the province would increase greatly, so much so that they could even be of equal status to the Northern Shaolin Temple.

“Well then, the wooden fish is yours. I’ll send you guys my account, and you only need to send me the money within three days,” Lu Xuan continued.
