c576: 369: Buddha's Relic and Harvest

[Golden Wood Flying Boat: Crafted from the trunk of a spiritual Bodhi tree, a mid-grade flying magical artifact.]

[When fully activated, this magical artifact can fly at extreme speeds but offers only average defensive power.]

[The original owner of the magical artifact has perished, and the divine soul imprint has been erased; it is available for a new master.]

“Flying artifact.”

After the grey robed old monk died, the golden small boat shrank to the size of a palm.

When Lu Qing probed the small boat’s information with his Superpower, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, he had been eyeing this magical artifact with great envy when he saw the grey robed old monk soaring through the sky.

Flying artifacts are always rare treasures.

Though not as precious as spatial artifacts, they are still quite uncommon.

He possessed the Leaving Fire Tripod and the Qiankun Qi Bag, two great spiritual artifacts, as well as the Five Elements Gourd, his lifebound magical treasure.

These treasures were well-rounded in both attack and defense, naturally possessing the ability to fly.

However, the grades of both the spiritual artifacts and the Five Elements Gourd were too high; even if Lu Qing exerted all his strength, he could only unleash a minuscule part of their potential power.

To control their flight would require an enormous amount of spiritual power, and even if he drained himself completely, he wouldn’t get very far.

But the golden small boat was different; its grade was not too high, it belonged to the category of magical artifacts, just perfect for Lu Qing to use at the moment.

“Young Master, do you wish to refine this boat?”

At this moment, the shadowy figure of “Yan” appeared beside Lu Qing.

“That’s right, this boat is a flying artifact. Both you and the Qiankun Qi Bag are of too high a grade for me to maneuver for flight at the moment.

Although the boat is merely a magical artifact, it is exactly what I need right now.”

Lu Qing explained.

“Yan” nodded.

Indeed, controlling a spiritual artifact for flight is challenging and requires a vast amount of spiritual power.

Of course, the speed of a spiritual artifact’s escape far exceeds that of a conventional flying magical artifact.

Crossing a hundred miles in an instant is an easy feat, and at full power, crossing large states in a single breath is quite normal.

Unfortunately, all of this was still far beyond Lu Qing’s reach.

Controlling the flight of a spiritual artifact is not something a Qi Refining Realm cultivator could do, and not even possible for a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Concentrating, Lu Qing began to use his heart and spirit to perform the sacrificial refining and take ownership of the golden small boat.

With the death of the grey robed old monk, the golden small boat had become an ownerless object. As the magical artifact had no artifact spirit, Lu Qing easily imprinted his divine soul mark in the core of the boat’s restriction, completely refining it.

As soon as the refinement was successful, Lu Qing felt a connection with the golden small boat through his heart and spirit.

At his will, with just a slight impetus, the boat could enlarge and break away, flying into the sky.

However, he did not do so. Given the unclear situation outside, and the trace of an aura that could herald danger for him, which he had sensed before, he didn’t know if it was still present.

Going out now could lead to a collision, so it would be better to test it slowly later on.

After putting away the golden small boat, Lu Qing took out from the Qiankun Qi Bag a clump of golden light, a pale golden bead, and a golden shuttle.

This time, by killing the grey robed old monk and the Suspended Mountain elders like Xuan Yi, he had obtained four treasures in total.

There might have been treasures on the other elders’ bodies, but he had no time to collect them at that moment.

Lu Qing examined the remaining three treasures.

That clump of golden light was not merely a glow but a soft, silk-like substance, emitting a golden radiance.

It was also quite hefty, quite a weight in hand.

As Lu Qing unfurled it, he realized it was a golden monk’s robe, thin as a cicada’s wing and made of unknown material.

He then turned his attention to the pale golden bead, which felt warm and smooth like jade but was made of a material that was neither gold nor jade, quite peculiar.

As for the golden shuttle, it appeared to be crafted from a kind of bone that had undergone jadeization.

Lu Qing began to use his Superpower to probe the items.

Firstly, he probed the thin, golden monk’s robe.

[The Vajra Robe: A top-grade Buddhist magical artifact.]

[Woven from the silk of the Vajra Silkworm, infused with Buddhist restrictions; it is well-rounded in offense and defense and possesses extraordinary power.]

[Buddhist Treasure, it must be activated with Buddhist skills to unleash its greatest potential.]

Lu Qing turned his gaze toward the bead and the golden shuttle.

[Vajra Relics: Formed from the Shariputra left behind by a Golden Core Realm Buddhist Practitioner after passing into nirvana.]

[It contains a strand of the imposing power of a Golden Core Realm Buddhist Practitioner. When activated with Buddhist Secret Techniques, it can summon the Buddha Dharma.]
