Chapter [NaN]
“Karmic connection?”
Fang Qing’s expression grew extremely grave. He knew the old blind man was right.
However, the karmic burdens he himself carried were far too many and far too great. Leaving aside everything else, the karmic weight of the Great Sun Empowerment Secret Art alone outweighed everything the old blind man bore combined.
His ties with the Secret Treasury Domain were even more impossible to sever. He was already in a state where his debts were so numerous that one more made no difference.
Thus, a trace of ease appeared on his face instead. “If in the future I establish my Dao Foundation, perhaps a Great Snow Mountain lama will come to deliver me into the Buddhist path? That wouldn’t be so bad… We loose cultivators have suffered enough from having no techniques and no backing. Even if I enter the Secret Treasury Domain, at least I might seek a life of unrestrained freedom there, right?”
“You… enough. I have already told you of the terror of that Secret Treasury land. If you insist, this old man has nothing more to say.”
The old blind man was instead rendered speechless. After a long silence, he stroked the bone bowl in his hand. “Our Land of Shu is protected by the Mountain-Covering Cloud Orthodoxy; the secret monks dare not cross eastward… but the affairs of the world are unpredictable. If in the future you establish your Dao Foundation and are willing to shoulder karmic ties, come to ‘Small Chamber Mountain’ to find this old man. I shall gift you this bowl!”
Fang Qing looked at the dark yellow bone bowl, feeling somewhat uncomfortable yet also tempted. If he were to refine this artifact using the Great Sun Empowerment Secret Art, what kind of reaction would it produce?
Still, he could not bring himself to rob a blind man of his broken bowl. That matter could only wait until he established his Dao Foundation in the future.
