Chapter 273 Bargaining
Chapter 273 Bargaining
"Uncle Kongjue, you're back." Outside the Bodhi Temple, the young monk who was cleaning the stone steps bowed to Kongjue as a disciple.
When the young monk saw Kong Hui behind Kong Jue, he immediately stood up straight and said, "
Amitabha, nice to meet Uncle Konghui. "
"Yeah." Kong Hui nodded, and followed Kong Jue into the Bodhi Temple.
After the others left, the little monk looked at Luo Shan and Ling Wanran curiously. He still had a broom in his hand and smiled at Luo Shan and Ling Wanran in a friendly manner.
Kongjue and Konghui entered the abbot's Zen temple and reported the circumstances of their trip.
"Abbot, when I was passing through Sancheng, I met two Taoist friends." Kongjue looked at the old man sitting on the cushion with a respectful expression.
"I already know about your situation. Let them in." The old man had a hunched back and his frail face was covered with wrinkles. However, his weathered face had a pair of compassionate eyes.
"Yes." Kong Jue nodded, turned and left.
Luo Shan and Ling Wanran followed Kong Jue for a long time before they saw the famous Master Shi Deng of Bodhi Temple.
He was no different from the old monks in ordinary temples, with a hunched appearance, as if he would fall down at the slightest wind.
But precisely because of this, Luo Shan's heart beat violently after seeing Master Shi Deng.
The other party was very powerful, the most powerful she had ever seen.
"Two donors who have come from afar, my temple is poor, and I can only offer you tea. Please don't despise it." Master Shi Deng said as he opened his eyes, took out a pot of tea and two teacups from his sleeves, and with shaking hands, poured two cups.
Luo Shan lowered his eyes and looked at the trembling hands that were pouring tea and the cup of tea, without saying a word.
"Thank you, Master Shi Deng." Luo Shan took the tea, took a sip, and his expression changed.
Such rich spiritual energy. After just a small sip, the rich spiritual power was equivalent to a month's practice speed.
This one bite is probably equivalent to a year of hard training.
"Master Shi Deng, this tea..." Luo Shan looked at Master Shi Deng in confusion. He was a little puzzled. It was the first time they met, and yet Master Shi Deng was so generous.
"Since you have come all the way to my Bodhi Temple, you must have a destiny with our temple." Master Shi Deng had a kind face and a pair of bright eyes.
Luo Shan drank the cup of spiritual tea silently, feeling the spiritual power filling his body.
"Master Shi Deng, I came to your temple to make a deal with you." Luo Shan didn't want to play Tai Chi with such an old man, so he said directly:
"I have five magic crystals in my hand and would like to exchange them for six bodhi seeds from your temple."
Master Shi Deng was silent, looked at Luo Shan for a long time, and said:
"My two donors, I'm afraid you came to my temple for more than just the Bodhi seeds."
When Ling Wanran heard this, she subconsciously looked at Luo Shan. Seeing that Luo Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and did not deny it, she frowned.
Fellow Daoist Luo, besides Bodhi seeds, do you need something else?
"Yes, Master Shi Deng should have seen the origins of me and Fellow Daoist Ling." As soon as they met, the other party revealed their origins with just one sentence: "We came from afar."
"I have said that the two donors have a connection with our temple." Master Shi Deng smiled slightly.
"Donor, the value of Bodhi seeds and magic crystals is very different for cultivators. Donor wants six Bodhi seeds, but my temple may not be able to agree to this deal."
Although he looked smiling and kind, Luo Shan felt he was in trouble.
"Master Shi Deng, you are joking. For cultivators, magic crystals cannot be compared with Bodhi seeds. But for the seniors of your temple, they are extremely rare items." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to trade six Bodhi seeds, Luo Shan made it clear directly.
The smile on Master Shi Deng's lips slightly faded:
"Donor, although magic crystals are rare, they are not something we cannot do without."
"Master Shi Deng, it seems that my fate with your temple is still not deep enough." Luo Shan narrowed his eyes, said respectfully, and planned to leave.
"Donor." Master Shi Deng took a deep breath, silently chanted "Amitabha", and looked at Luo Shan helplessly:
"Although the magic crystal is not indispensable, it is indeed very helpful for us Buddhists in our practice."
"It's just that the six bodhi seeds the donor wants are too many. Our temple can only offer two bodhi seeds at most in exchange for the magic crystal in the donor's hand."
It turned out that he wanted to bargain, and said so much.
Luo Shan chuckled in his heart, but didn't show it on his face: "I can at most lose one. Five magic crystals for five bodhi seeds."
"With your cultivation level, the demon in your hand is only at the Jindan stage, but the Bodhi seed is a spiritual object from the four realms." Master Shi Deng shook his head slightly, and after a while:
"Three, three Bodhi seeds, are more than enough for the donor."
The more Bodhi seeds are used, the smaller their effect will be. Three are enough for this female cultivator of the Golden Core Realm.
"Okay." Luo Shan thought about it and agreed: "Five magic crystals in exchange for three bodhi seeds."
Master Shi Deng raised the corner of his lips and was about to take out the Bodhi seeds from his sleeve to trade with the female cultivator, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that a corpse suddenly appeared next to the female cultivator.
He probed with his spiritual sense and finally looked at the white jade coffin on the waist of the female cultivator. He said nothing and silently chanted "Amitabha".
"These are twenty magic crystals, a total of twelve bodhi seeds."
As it spoke, the corpse puppet that exuded a strong yin energy spread out its palm, and twenty magic crystals appeared on it.
Master Shi Deng choked and looked at the twenty magic crystals for a long time without saying anything.
Kong Jue, who had been listening quietly below, looked at Luo Shan in even greater surprise.
This Fellow Daoist Luo is really... I don’t know what to say.
Only Ling Wanran looked as if she was used to it. To her, Luo San's operation was very common. After all, compared with the days in Dongyue, the current Fellow Daoist Luo had changed a lot.
At least, he's not being so sarcastic anymore.
Of course, Ling Wanran would never have thought that Master Shi Deng's cultivation was much higher than that of the God Transformation Realm. If Luo Shan spoke without restraint, he would probably have to leave the Bodhi Temple sideways today.
Master Shi Deng did not hesitate and took out a jade box from his sleeve.
"Donate the bodhi seeds."
Luo Shan opened the jade box and saw twelve Bodhi seeds lying inside.
She can use one of these twelve Bodhi seeds to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core. Then, in half a year’s competition for independent cultivators, she must at least be in the top 50.
Master Shi Deng reached out and took the twenty magic crystals directly. A stream of golden liquid gushed out from his palm, wrapping the twenty magic crystals, and then handed them to Kong Jue:
“Kongjue, take this thing to the back mountain and give it to Brother Miaoshan.”
"Yes, Abbot." Kong Jue took the things, looked at Luo Shan deeply, and finally turned and left.
Of course he understood that the abbot was intentionally trying to get him away.
Where do these two fellow Taoists come from? How come they have so many magic crystals?
