Ch 332: Flawless Star Sutra

Jiang Chen slowly reached out his hand and gently removed the storage ring from the remains’ hand. When he opened the storage ring, he discovered that many of the treasures inside had already lost their original effects.

The erosion of time had dimmed many precious pills, weapons, and ancient texts, and some had even turned to ashes.

However, among these faded treasures, there were three items that remained unchanged despite the ravages of time, emitting a faint glow.

The first treasure was the main goal of Jiang Chen’s trip—the pill recipe for the Heavenly Aperture Mystical Body Pill.

This jade slip was densely engraved with detailed steps and required materials for refining the Heavenly Aperture Mystical Body Pill. For any martial artist pursuing ultimate power, this was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.

The second treasure was an essential ingredient for refining the Heavenly Aperture Mystical Body Pill—the worm egg of the Nine-Spirit Worm.

The surface of this fist-sized worm egg shimmered with a faint light, as if it contained endless vitality.

The Nine-Spirit Worm is an extremely rare spirit worm, and its worm egg is even rarer. After special processing, it can be used as a key ingredient in refining the Nine Aperture Exquisite Elixir.

Jiang Chen knew that with this worm egg, plus the pill recipe for the Heavenly Aperture Mystical Body Pill, he would have the capital to further improve his strength.

The third treasure was a cultivation method called 《Flawless Star Sutra》. This cultivation method classic was made of a mysterious material, and although it had experienced tens of thousands of years, it was still intact.

Opening the classic, it recorded an extremely profound cultivation method that enhances one’s cultivation by absorbing the power of the stars, and can continuously repair innate defects during the cultivation process, reaching the state of “flawlessness.”

After carefully reading it, Jiang Chen discovered that this cultivation method was very suitable for demons to cultivate, especially those powerhouses who longed to break through their own limits.

The reason why Jiang Chen wanted to leave it for Jin Yuan was precisely because this cultivation method was very suitable for him.

In the future that Jiang Chen deduced, he saw Jin Yuan making rapid progress after cultivating this cultivation method, and soon reached the Perfected Dharma Aspect Realm.

Although Jin Yuan was a demon, he was severely suppressed in the clan, had a low status, and was often bullied by other powerful demons.

However, after seeing Jiang Chen’s methods and wisdom, Jin Yuan was loyal to him and became a great help to him in this dangerous world.

That’s why Jiang Chen chose to make this promise to Jin Yuan.

He knew that only truly powerful allies could gain a foothold in this dangerous world.

The existence of Jin Yuan could not only provide him with strong support, but also help him at critical moments.

Jiang Chen silently took out the pill recipe for the Heavenly Aperture Mystical Body Pill and the worm egg of the Nine-Spirit Worm from this storage ring.

His movements were light, without causing any unnecessary attention.

Then, he carefully put away these two precious treasures and turned back to Jin Yuan’s side.

When he returned to where Jin Yuan was, Jiang Chen saw Jin Yuan quietly waiting for his return.

“Jin Yuan, this is for you.”

Jin Yuan looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. It never expected that Jiang Chen would actually give him this storage ring. It originally thought that this was just empty talk, or some kind of test, but now it seemed that Jiang Chen sincerely handed over these precious treasures to him. A feeling of uncontrollable excitement and gratitude welled up in Jin Yuan’s heart.

It immediately immersed its mind into this storage ring and carefully checked the treasures inside. Sure enough, the next moment it saw the long-sealed treasures in the storage ring, and the 《Flawless Star Sutra》.

This cultivation method immediately attracted its attention, as if an invisible force was summoning it in the dark.

Jin Yuan held this cultivation method, and was extremely excited.

It knew that 《Flawless Star Sutra》 was not only a powerful cultivation method, but also the key for it to break through bottlenecks and move towards a higher realm.

Its gratitude to Jiang Chen reached its peak, almost beyond words.

“Thank you, Senior! From now on, I am willing to serve you like a dog or horse, even if it means going through fire and water,” Jin Yuan said, kneeling on the ground, his voice full of piety.

It knew that this kindness was more precious than any treasure, and only its actions could repay Jiang Chen’s trust and help.

Looking at Jin Yuan’s performance, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that his choice was not wrong, and Jin Yuan was a trustworthy partner.

“You only need to help me with things for ten years as agreed,” Jiang Chen waved his hand, his tone peaceful.

He didn’t need too many promises, because he believed that Jin Yuan would fulfill his promise.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen glanced thoughtfully at the benevolent-looking statue.

Although this statue seemed calm and peaceful, Jiang Chen always felt that it contained some kind of mysterious aura.

This feeling made him a little uneasy, as if some unknown danger was quietly approaching.

“Let’s go.” After a moment, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and left with Jin Yuan. The two quickly left the ruins and headed towards the Great Ming Dynasty.

Not long after Jiang Chen and Jin Yuan left this ruin, the Buddha statue holding Xuanmiao Zhenren’s corpse suddenly underwent a strange change.

Its eyes suddenly turned a few times, as if it had awakened from a slumber.

A creepy and strange smile appeared on the stone face, making it look particularly terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of black smoke slowly floated out from the top of the Buddha statue, gradually condensing into a dense cloud of black mist.

This cloud of black mist exuded a cold aura, as if it contained endless evil power.

After hovering in the air for a moment, the black mist quickly floated towards the direction Jiang Chen left, at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, Jiang Chen and Jin Yuan had already moved away from the ruins, but they did not realize that danger was quietly approaching from behind.

……

“Damn it!”

In the Lu Royal Residence, Prince Lu Zhu Gangxu smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

Tea splashed everywhere, creating bursts of white mist, which seemed particularly harsh in the quiet hall.

The entire room instantly fell into a deathly silence, with only Prince Lu’s heavy breathing and the occasional sound of porcelain shards falling to the ground.

The experts sitting around Prince Lu were all silent and dared not speak.

They knew Prince Lu’s mood at the moment, and any inappropriate words could trigger even stronger anger.

These usually majestic and arrogant experts were now as if suppressed by an invisible force, and dared not even breathe.

“Are you all mute?”

Prince Lu Zhu Gangxu was furious, his eyes were red, as if two balls of fire were burning.

He looked around, his eyes like knives, sweeping over everyone present, his voice low and full of threat.
