The relic, in Qing Yu’s previous life, was only a Buddhist curiosity.
However, in this world it was different. In order to leave a relic after death, one had to be a Buddhist martial artist of the True Dan realm or above.
The reason why this is so is actually very simple, and that is – the relic is the true dan of a Buddhist martial artist.
The path of martial arts is the path of evolution.
The martial path realm can be said to be relatively H*mogeneous when it comes to the early stages again. Everyone has to go through the Houtian realm, the Innate realm, building the foundation step by step.
At the Divine Origin realm, the brilliance of each martial dao begins to shine through. Different people, with different martial paths, have different manifestations of the south.
The later the martial dao reaches, the more a hundred flowers will blossom. Perhaps the paths will eventually be different. But in the middle and later stages, the distinction between schools of martial arts is extremely clear.
This is like the True Dan realm. The true elixir is just a generic term; the Buddhists call it the relic, the Taoists call it the golden elixir, and the Confucians call it the danxin.
Different Daoist traditions have different names for it.
So this gift from Shi Jue can be said to be extremely weighty, as it is the entire essence of a Buddhist martial artist of the True Dan realm or above.
What’s more, it was a flesh relic of a Vajra Temple lineage martial artist. Flesh relics are condensed after the essence of blood and flesh has been cremated, and can be said to be extremely rare compared to relics condensed from Yuan Qi.
After all, Yuan Qi relics have a form, and all Buddhist martial artists of the True Dan realm have them. Blood and flesh relics, on the other hand, can only be condensed by gathering the essence of the whole body and cannot be obtained without the remains of a body refining expert.
Moreover, this Vajra Temple was also very famous. The Vajra Temple is one of the leading Buddhist martial arts schools in the world. In terms of pure body refining martial arts, Vajra Temple actually surpa*ses the Great Zen Temple.
After all, the “Heart Zen Indestructible Kung Fu” of the Great Zen Temple focuses on body refinement, but is more focused on S*xuality and is not really a pure body refinement martial art.
However ——
“Monk, you’re really coming down hard.” Qing Yu slightly lowered his head and carefully examined the flesh relic that was emitting blood light.
The flesh relic was condensed from the essence of blood and flesh, so it was emitting blood light, but it did not appear evil because of that, on the contrary, it gave a warm and moist feeling. After all, it is the product of the cremation of a senior monk.
Such rare relics would not normally be left out in the open.
The Vajra Temple is a branch of the Great Zen Temple, from which its ancestor came. In Zen Buddhism, Vajra Temple is also a great fan of the Great Zen Temple. If a senior monk of the temple has a relic left behind, it is usually returned to its origin and transported back to the pure pagoda forest of the Great Zen Temple for enshrinement.
Under such circumstances, Shi Jue had the audacity to dig up the graves of deceased monks, and to steal from them. This made Qing Yu’s perception of Monk Shi Jue’s black heart deepen another layer.
It is important to know that although the Buddhist monks regard the flesh as a stinking skin, they attach great importance to the relics after the cremation of the body. To put it simply, the relics are the equivalent of the remains of a Buddhist monk.
In response to Qing Yu’s implicitly flirtatious words, Monk Shi Jue said without changing his expression, “Master, you are joking. This meat relic was stolen by the ghost thief Han Wuxiu three years ago when he visited the temple’s pure pagoda at night.
“Then where did this relic of flesh come from?”
“When Han Wuxiu was leaving, he encountered Xin Yun, the head of the preceptor of the temple, and was severely injured by Xin Yun, who accidentally left the meat relic and found it.”
“So you took it straight into your pocket?” Qing Yu laughed lightly, his eyes rolling under the bronze mask.
To secretly swallow such a treasure, Monk Shi Jue really dared to do it.
If he was discovered, it would be no different from digging up a grave, and Shi Jue would have to go to the Great Zen Temple’s Demon Suppression Tower. The difference is just that one has a term and one has no term.
“Wait ——”
Qing Yu seems to have suddenly made a major discovery, you probe your hand and pick up the flesh relic that is flowing with pure blood light, close to take a closer look.
He saw his pupils contracting and expanding, his true qi and divine energy constantly operating, using the “Heavenly Son Lookout Technique” to the utmost, as if trying to see the reality of this flesh relic.
Monk Shi Jue did not make any move either, but remained in his low-browed, downcast posture.
After a short while, Qing Yu put the meat relic back into the box and let out a breath, his eyes wandering between Shi Jue and the meat relic.
Finally, as if he was certain of something, Qing Yu laughed strangely, “Monk, I said that the relic that ‘Ghost Thief’ Han Wuxiu was trying to steal looked like it was only at the True Dan realm level, but it turned out that the essence of the flesh and blood Yuan Qi inside had already been mostly sucked out.”
In Qing Yu’s vision, although Monk Shi Jue looked ordinary and just like a handsome monk, but underneath his seemingly somewhat thin and frail body was an infinite amount of essence, and if he really wanted to let go of his restraint, I was afraid that the blood qi in this body would have to form an essence wolf smoke above his head.
It was obvious that the person who had absorbed most of the flesh relic essence was none other than Shi Jue.
Although Han Wuxiu, the “ghost thief”, was a big man of the Tong Shen realm, he would never have gone to the trouble of risking his life to steal a meat relic from the Great Zen Temple at the True Dan realm.
This Flesh Relic appeared to be at the True Dan realm level, but deep within it was the hardest and hardest realm of Vajra, and Qing Yu could sense the heaviness and terror of this seemingly simple realm just by observing it with his “Heavenly Son’s Lookout Technique”.
With the personal insight gifted by the Shadow King, Qing Yu knew a lot about the True Dan realm and the Tong Shen realm, and knew that this was never something that could be left behind by a True Dan realm martial artist.
“Monk Shi Jue, such a heavy gift is a bit much for me to bear.” Qing Yu gently covered the wooden box and looked towards Shi Jue.
A Tong Shen realm relic was a completely different concept from a True Dan realm relic. Even those that had had most of their essence sucked out of them and the essence content fell to the True Dan realm.
The difference between the God Realm and the True Dan Realm is that one is a phoenix and the other is a chicken, and even a fallen phoenix is not comparable to a chicken.
It is said that “a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken”, but there are roosters, hens, horse-killing chickens —— and all kinds of chickens in this world, so you should look for a fallen phoenix instead.
The target of the gift is not simple.
It is impossible to say —— no, it is certain, it will definitely be life-threatening, or a tremendous kind.
”But this meat relic is also very important to me.” Qing Yu said in his heart with an extreme eye for it.
”Might as well ——”
A wisp of murderous intent crossed his heart, a flash of light, with Qing Yu’s grasp of the mind, even with the nearness of Shi Jue.
”No, Abbot Xin Yuan’s attainment in the Way of Cause and Effect is remarkable, if I am really targeted by him, there is nowhere for me to escape.”
If he really wanted to kill Monk Shi Jue, Qing Yu was still sure of it. But the consequences of killing him were something Qing Yu could not afford. It would be safer to find bad luck with him at the Silent Meditation Institute than to kill Shi Jue.
