Chapter 672: Departing to Royal Pill City
Although the energy contained inside a Buddha sarira was less than a godhead, it was many times better than those Highgod Realm beast cores that Huang Xiaolong had previously refined.
A Buddhist cultivator was known as a Buddha after they broke through to Highgod Realm. This Buddha sarira only formed inside a Buddhist cultivator after they successfully entered to Highgod Realm, it was condensed completely from a Buddhas blood essence, suffused with Buddhism aura and energy.
No doubt, if Huang Xiaolong refined this Buddha sarira, it would bring crucial benefits to his current strength enhancement as well as his future cultivation.
The Ascending Moon Old Man was initially worried that the Buddha sarira might reject Huang Xiaolong. In this case, Huang Xiaolong would have a difficult time refining it. Fortunately, watching the Buddha sariras reaction, it did not seem to reject Huang Xiaolongs presence, which was a relief for the old man.
Old man, youre injured, why dont you use this Buddha sarira instead? Huang Xiaolong retrieved his gaze from the Buddha sarira in his palm, and said, looking at the Ascending Moon Old Man.
Who knew that the old mans temper would immediately erupt, What fart! Who said Im injured? What fart injuries are these? This kind of injuries need to use a Buddha sarira to heal? Sissy fudge, do you kid know how difficult it was for your Master to get this Buddha sarira? This old man took a big risk gambling his life! How dare you not want it!
The Ascending Moon Old Mans eyes were wide in anger, even his scraggly beard was standing on ends as he pointed a finger at Huang Xiaolong. Spit flew in all directions. Luckily, Huang Xiaolong was standing more than a meter away, otherwise that deadly saliva would have covered him from head to toe.
As usual, Huang Xiaolong was rendered speechless facing the old man.
Why was this old man being so dramatic, wasnt this just a Buddha sarira? Then again, watching the Ascending Moon Old Mans exaggerated angry face, a warm feeling spread in his heart. Huang Xiaolong understood that the old man was reluctant to use the Buddha sarira on himself because of him.
Huang Xiaolong suddenly smiled, cutting the old man off, Fine, old man, Ill listen to you and use this Buddha sarira. Are you satisfied now?
The Ascending Moon Old Mans enraged rant halted. However, as if it wasnt enough, he scolded a few more words before finally stopping.
Forget it, this old man will toil a little more for you. Now, sit down, I will use godforce to help you refine this Buddha sarira. In the end, the Ascending Moon Old Man changed his tone.
Huang Xiaolong blanked for a moment.
This, Master, it isn’t necessary. I can refine this myself. Huang Xiaolong blurted out in a rush.
This old man was already wounded because of this Buddha sarira, and now he wanted to use his godforce to help him refine its energy. If this somehow aggravated the old mans injuries further, Huang Xiaolong would not feel comfortable.
But the Ascending Moon Old Mans eyes widened and stared at Huang Xiaolong, If I tell you to sit down, you sit down, where does all this nonsense come from? Quickly, if not, Ill throw this Buddha sarira all the way to your grandmothers house!
Huang Xiaolong smiled wryly, then the corners of his mouth flattened: This old man!
He didn’t believe that the old man could throw this Buddha sarira from the Golden Dragon Peak all the way to the Martial Spirit World. But, he knew that the Ascending Moon Old Man had the stubborn temperament of a cow, thus Huang Xiaolong could only sit down cross-legged, following the Ascending Moon Old Mans instructions, and begin circulating the Asura Tactics.
After Huang Xiaolong sat down, with a simple wave of the Ascending Moon Old Mans hands, the Buddha sarira flew up, hovering above Huang Xiaolongs head. Then, the old man formed a strange looking sealing with his hands and pointed at the Buddha sarira. An aureate symbol shot out, and in the next second, the Buddha sarira drilled into the crown of Huang Xiaolongs head.
Huang Xiaolong shook violently for a second, but recovered just as quickly.
Moments after the Buddha sarira drilled into Huang Xiaolongs head, it reached Huang Xiaolongs soul sea. Buddhism energy surged out of it.
Pure and vast Buddhism energy rushed to every corner of Huang Xiaolongs body. For a moment, he had the illusion that his body had become a Buddha-body.
The Treasure Dragon Protective Shield Art diagram formation inside his body lit up on its own, circulating, as it frenziedly absorbed the vast Buddhism energy.
Buddhism energy continued to integrate into every part of Huang Xiaolongs body, endlessly tempering his internal organs, meridians, physique, his soul, down to the last strand of hair.
From afar, it looked as if Huang Xiaolong was shrouded within a ball of light, akin to a venerable Buddha.
Buddhism energy continued to flow, filling the entire hall.
The Ascending Moon Old Man watched Huang Xiaolong with delight and surprise, a twinkle appeared in his eyes, No wonder this kids cultivation is progressing so fast, so this is the reason! It couldn’t escape the old mans notice when that Treasure Dragon Protective Shield Art diagram formation began to absorb the Buddhism energy.
However, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi had concealed itself deeply, therefore neither his nor the Dragon Pearls presence in Huang Xiaolongs forehead were noticed.
Time flowed by and days turned into weeks.
With the Ascending Moon Old Mans godforce assistance, the Buddhism energy and the blood essence inside the Buddha sarira were absorbed by Huang Xiaolong at a terrifying speed. At the same time, his cultivation was rapidly increasing. Almost with each passing day, there would be a significant increase in his strength and cultivation.
Although a Buddha sarira couldn’t compare to a godhead, the Buddha blood essence and its Buddhism energy and aura were still shocking. Even with the Ascending Moon Old Mans help, Huang Xiaolong still wasnt able to completely refine the Buddha sarira.
In fact, he only managed to refine one-fifth of it!
Two months passed.
Huang Xiaolongs progress rose to half of the Buddha sarira.
After two months, even the Ascending Moon Old Man was forced to stop.
In reality, he did not expect Huang Xiaolong to completely refine it in a few months time. After all, this was a Buddha sarira, not some spiritual treasure that one could pick from the side of the road.
It had already far exceeded his expectation that Huang Xiaolong could refine half of it with the help of his godforce. He first assumed that it was a good result if Huang Xiaolong managed to refine even one-tenth of its energy.
After stopping, the Ascending Moon Old Man swallowed a medicinal pellet and sat down to adjust his breathing.
A short while later, Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes. Discovering that he had advanced to mid-Seventh Order God Realm, moreover, it was peak mid-Seventh Order God Realm, even he himself couldnt stop smacking his lips in astonishment.
In these two months of refining the blood essence and Buddhism energy inside the Buddha sarira produced greater results than the last five years of his cultivation after stepping into Seventh Order God Realm!
Huang Xiaolong checked his condition and noticed that the Buddha sarira was smaller by half, and close to his heart. It continued to release Buddhism energy while the diagram formation inside his body continued to absorb it, but at a much slower pace.
By this time, the Ascending Moon Old Man opened his eyes. Before Huang Xiaolong could speak, the old man was already shouting, I say, kid, youve refined half of that Buddha sarira, yet you only managed to advance from early Seventh Order to mid-Seventh Order! What kind of odd monster are you? Such a large amount of Buddhism energy, where did it go?!
If it was any other person, after refining half of a Buddha sarira, that person definitely could jump from early Seventh Order to late-Seventh Order, maybe even peak late-Seventh Order God Realm, but Huang Xiaolong merely reached mid-Seventh Order.
He gambled his old life to get this Buddha sarira, and seeing that Huang Xiaolong merely reached mid-Seventh Order God Realm after refining half of it, his heart ached greatly.
Huang Xiaolong scratched his forehead. Even he did not know how to answer this question.
Forget it, asking you is like not asking at all. Fortunately, the Ascending Moon Old Man did not persist in this subject. Standing up, he changed the topic, Theres only a month left to the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition, go get ready, well depart to Royal Pill City after this!
