Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216
The "Brahma Heaven Twin Vine" is a rare species, but since it’s specifically cultivated, it should be possible to directly purchase it through trading.
As for the "Bodhi Bone," it is something that can only be chanced upon and not sought.
This item is a unique mutation that emerged after the Bodhi Tree gained spiritual wisdom, making it an excellent material for crafting Magical Treasures or Formations, rarely seen in everyday life, and even when available, it’s often not for sale.
But this time on his journey, Chen Sansi brought a lot of high-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Floral Medicine Palace, confident that if he offered a high enough price, he would certainly find a seller.
The Eight Treasures Workshop is the largest industry under the Vajra Temple’s Slanting Moon Path, holding two third-stage Spiritual Veins and occupying eight mountain peaks.
They arrived at the workshop, intending to both continue searching for Chen Du’s whereabouts and handle their own matters.
Upon stepping into the workshop, one could see cultivators coming and going, a bustling scene, enough to show its popularity.
It seemed overly prosperous.
Chen Sansi looked around, seeing nothing but "heads," people so densely packed that they were almost chest-to-back, clearly abnormal.
Not only were there a large number of outside Loose Cultivators, but also an abundance of Mortal commoners gathered here.
After inquiring, he learned that the Buddhist Saintess was traveling through this place today.
Every ten years, the Buddha would send people on public pilgrimages.
They would vanquish demons, eliminate evils, relieve disasters, and at the same time, take encountered "destined ones" into the Buddhist Holy Sect as Inner Sect Disciples for cultivation.
And this was the reason why the Eight Treasures Workshop gathered a large number of Loose Cultivators.
A closer look would reveal that the Loose Cultivators in the workshop were either young and had just entered the Dao, or were middle-aged individuals stuck at a bottleneck in their Cultivation.
Most of them were limited by their natural talents, lifelong unable to achieve anything on the Immortal Path, yet unwilling to let go of their dreams of longevity, thus coming to the Western Continent to try their luck, hoping to find the legendary "Wisdom Root," and see if they could change their path to the Incense Fire Divine Dao to strive for a sliver of vitality.
Chen Sansi sighed inwardly.
Throughout his journey, he had seen countless people who could have lived a peaceful life, but due to their obsession with immortality, they ended up dying without a proper burial, never enjoying a moment of happiness.
The so-called longevity might just be a bigger cage.
Of course, one could also think from another perspective: precisely because of the principle of the universe escaping from one of the fifty, generations of refusal to give up and advancement have led to the flourishing state of human society today.
Chen Sansi regained his senses.
Somehow, he had recently found himself unconsciously contemplating these issues.
Perhaps it was nearing his sixties, or perhaps as his Cultivation grew, approaching the Nascent Soul stage, his mindset grew along with it.
He collected his thoughts and prepared to buy materials from a nearby pharmacy.
At that moment, a Green Simurgh suddenly swept across the sky, and the entire long street was filled with a clear Buddhist Chant.
A distant commotion arrived first, then the crowd parted like waves, forming a wide path.
"I finally encountered it!"
The surrounding cultivators stretched their necks to look, their heads moving like the tide— indeed, the Buddhist Saintess had arrived here.
Following their gaze to the end of the street, a procession composed of monks and nuns appeared.
Twelve Bhikkhunis leading the way, holding gilded incense burners from which light golden Ning Xiang weaved a luxurious phantom of seven treasures in the dusk.
The rumored Buddhist Saintess finally appeared.
In a snow-colored monk robe, draped with Water Cloud Gauze as thin as cicada wings, moonlight seemed to flow between the folds of her garment as she walked.
Her raven hair was tied up with a nine-layer lotus golden crown, and a blood-red Buddha Lotus between her brows was more piercing than the maple leaves of the entire city. She kept her eyes lowered, with jade-like fingers lightly holding a Green Jade Purification Bottle, her bare feet stepping on the dust, yet cleaner than a jade sculpture, unstained by any speck of dust.
The scene seemed like the legendary Bodhisattva descending to the mortal world, leaving the crowd in the workshop stunned, and the once tumultuous street turned silent.
Amidst the gaze of thousands, the Buddhist Saintess stopped before a group of kneeling mortals, pinching a willow branch from the Pure Bottle with her jade fingers, gently passing it over an old woman. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fiɾe·net
The elderly lady with a decade-long eye disease suddenly found the gray haze clouding her eyes completely cleared.
"Grandmother, grandmother, can you see?"
The exclamation of a child exploded in the silent long street.
"Saintess, our family offers daily incense to the Buddha, can you check on my father’s leg?!"
Witnessing the Saintess’s methods firsthand, nobody in the workshop could hold back anymore, pushing forward frantically, hoping the willow branch would also pass over their own heads.
Even Chen Sansi couldn’t help but be somewhat astonished.
The Buddha really had such methods?
There truly is a difference between Immortal and Mortal, which wasn’t just talk.
Whether it is a cultivator’s Elixir Pills or Healing Technique, these are beyond the capacity of a mortal’s meridians to endure, and any contact results in either death or serious injury.
But at this moment, there was actually a Buddhist cultivator capable of healing mortal diseases.
The Incense Fire Divine Dao indeed had its unique characteristics.
Using the Qi Observation Skill, Chen Sansi perceived that the Saintess’s Realm was not particularly high, approximately at the late stage of the Third Realm.
It was the Manifestation Golden Body Realm of the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
This was not due to a lack of talent but because of an extremely short period of cultivation.
