Chapter 384: Chapter 196 Meat Relics

After eliminating the flaws in his heart, Qing Yu’s Mental State Cultivation had advanced greatly.

However, it also made him seem less human, causing Feng Jiu to feel increasingly that Qing Yu was being assimilated by the universe.

The purpose of the "Heavenly Human Rebirth Technique" was to continuously evolve towards the direction of the Heavenly Person. Heavenly Person, though it includes the word "person", they ultimately are no longer human.

Therefore, when Qing Yu met Monk Shi Jue again, he heard such praise from him.

"Amitabha, benefactor, your mental state has become more refined; you’re nearly reaching the state of ’All Living Beings’ in our Buddhist doctrine," Monk Shi Jue said upon seeing Qing Yu.

"Monk, you are lying again," Qing Yu raised his hand, pointing at the bronze mask on his face, "I am wearing a mask, how can you tell that I have no ’All Living Beings’?"

"Amitabha, benefactor, it is not a matter of whether the face shows no features, but rather the heart. If it were merely about having no features on the face, that would be a misinterpretation of Buddhist teachings, merely a heretical path," replied Monk Shi Jue with a light smile.

"Really? Is it that obvious?"

Such an apparent change in demeanor was a bit worrisome, as it could potentially allow someone to recognize his real identity.

Thinking this, his outward demeanor suddenly changed from an ethereal and distant void to a profound and towering depth, perfectly matching his current disguise, revealing the dignity of the Dragon Chief of the Azure Dragon Association.

"Benefactor, this..." Monk Shi Jue was also somewhat flabbergasted, "I never imagined that your control over your mental state had reached such an extent."

"Cultivating the mind, cultivating the mind. If one cannot even control his own mindset, then what is there to cultivate?"

Qing Yu declared with a flourish of his sleeves, "Monk, one does not go to the temple without reason. I presume you didn’t come here just to talk, did you?"

Qing Yu was very astute about Monk Shi Jue, seeing through him clearly. The two of them were similar, both striving for transcendence. Monk Shi Jue’s whole life was devoted to attaining Buddhahood, and he seldom intervened in matters not related to cultivation.

"Amitabha, this poor monk indeed came to ask the benefactor to repay a favor owed, to assist me this one time," said Monk Shi Jue.

"Oh? It seems this matter is quite taboo, for you to think of having me intervene," Qing Yu said with great interest.

As the Chief Disciple of the Great Zen Temple, Monk Shi Jue wasn’t short of helpers. Warriors at the Divinity Realm were not to be lightly disturbed, but he could still make use of masters from the True Pill Realm.

In terms of real capability, Qing Yu wouldn’t rank among those Monk Shi Jue could call upon for help.

Since Qing Yu was chosen for this matter, it could only mean that it was something secretive, at least, as far as the Great Zen Temple was concerned.

"Let’s hear it."

Monk Shi Jue said, "Benefactor, you must be aware of the Silent Annihilation Zen Temple. When the three of us raided the Heavenly Demon Palace’s Demon Envoy last time, the Evil Monk wielding the ghost head knife was from the Silent Annihilation Zen Temple."

"I have heard a bit about it."

Roughly two hundred years ago, a monk from the Great Zen Temple had slandered Buddha and questioned his teachings, which ultimately led him to be expelled from the temple, causing a great uproar. At that time, the abbot of the Great Zen Temple personally pursued this monk, and they fought several times, never determining a victor.

The final time, Dharma Temple and Nalanda Temple also sent people to help. Together with the Three Great Buddhist Temples, they finally killed the apostate monk at the summit of Heavenly Corner Mountain.

No one expected that the monk had quietly left behind his inheritance, the Silent Annihilation Zen Temple.

Over these two hundred years, the Silent Annihilation Zen Temple rapidly grew in power. Now it also holds a pivotal position in the Demon Path. Although not one of the Six Demon Sects, its strength is pretty comparable to a few of the latter sects.

"Monk, are you coveting the inheritance of Silent Annihilation Zen Temple?" Qing Yu said.

He remembered the last time they had surrounded and killed the Demon Envoy of the Heavenly Demon Palace. This monk had desperately clung to the ghost head knife monk from Silent Annihilation Zen Temple. Back then, Qing Yu quietly observed Monk Shi Jue’s combat and knew he was quite interested in Silent Annihilation Zen Temple. Now that Shi Jue mentioned it again, Qing Yu could guess why he had come.

"Amitabha, I am not coveting, but rather, I am interested in the Silent Annihilation’s Buddhist teachings and wish to comprehend a bit more," Shi Jue sincerely said.

"Isn’t that the same thing?" Qing Yu thought in exasperation.

Regardless of the reasons, he finally had to pry some martial arts out of the monk from Silent Annihilation Zen Temple. Monk Shi Jue’s reason was quite similar to that of Kong Yiji.

Stealing by scholars, that’s not called stealing, that’s called borrowing.

The acts of monks, that’s not called stealing, that’s still borrowing.

But whether it’s stealing or borrowing, Qing Yu now had no desire to provoke the thorny issue of Silent Annihilation Zen Temple. He had previously stirred up quite a mess. It seemed as though every enemy was helpless against Gong Ziyu, but once his true identity appeared, those enemies would act crazier than starving dogs pouncing on food.

Not to mention others, take Dragon Tiger Mountain for instance. The assassin from the Azure Dragon Association had killed countless Taoists in pursuit of Gong Ziyu’s true identity. Three of Zhang Family’s uncle and nephews had been involved. In the Divinity Realm, Zhang Yuanlu was killed by the besieging forces from Great Zen Temple at Luoshui; in the True Pill Realm, Zhang Yuanfeng was crippled by Xin Hui; it was likely that Zhang Yangping of the Divine Origin Realm had also been killed by Gong Ziyu.

With such deep hatred, Qing Yu wouldn’t be surprised if the Heavenly Master himself from Dragon Tiger Mountain took action.

Shi Jue saw this point too and after seeing Qing Yu’s stance, he consciously took out a small box emitting sandalwood scent from within his robes.

This box had densely packed scriptures and Buddhist incantations engraved on the outside, making it obvious that the contents were extraordinary.

When Shi Jue opened it, Qing Yu observed the slowly unfolding object that radiated pure Buddha Light and his eyes widened.

"Relic."

"It’s not just that," Shi Jue pushed the box forward slightly and said, "This is also a meat relic left behind from the lineage of Vajra Temple that specialized in Body Refinement."

Shi Jue gave a light laugh and said, "The monk noticed that although all three elements of your spirit are robust, your Essence is far from being as complete as your Essence Qi and Divine Element. You and I are fellow cultivators, not ordinary people. For us, if we want to advance to the True Pill, naturally we need the extreme of all three elements to achieve the expected results.

This meat relic from the lineage of Vajra Temple could indeed take your cultivation to the next level."

These few words stirred Qing Yu’s heartstrings. The meat relic left by the experts from the Vajra Temple lineage was indeed a very tempting condition.

Qing Yu’s "Dragon-Elephant Wisdom" level had already been falling behind other martial arts. His Body Refining Martial Arts had only managed to keep up with other skills and he was not being left too far behind in that regard.

"Dragon-Elephant Wisdom" was incredibly difficult for Qing Yu to attain initially, but after acquiring it, he had never truly used this martial art against enemies. Compared to physical strength, Qing Yu’s progress in Divine Origin and True Qi was too rapid.

Qing Yu had always been paying attention to this area, but just suffering from a lack of methods to progress, had set it aside for now.
