Chapter 12, On Treasures
Beside the waterfall behind Kunlun Mountain, the atmosphere was already extremely solemn, with Pharmacist and others engaged in spirited discussions. The embryonic form of the Buddha Sect was now apparent, presenting a grand theory entirely distinct from that of the Taoist Sect, something the Upper Pure Peak disciples heard for the first time and were utterly unable to refute, each showing a grim expression.
Duobao Taoist sat cross-legged on the green stone, listening to Pharmacist and others speaking of the Western Tao, while ideas continuously emerged in his mind, verifying and even enlightening his own understanding.
Suddenly, Wudang Saint Mother laughed and spoke, "The grand discourse from the Western Fellow Daoists is enlightening, but moderation is still necessary. How about we pause our discussion on Dao and reflect for a moment?!"
Ksitigarbha responded with a smile, "Sister speaks wisely."
Feeling his epiphany interrupted, Duobao Taoist unconsciously frowned and looked at Wudang Saint Mother with a hint of displeasure.
Wudang Saint Mother continued with a smile, "The Dao is fundamental, but defending the Dao also requires actions of elimination. While we’re at leisure, shall we discuss treasures instead?"
Pharmacist, Ksitigarbha, and others exchanged glances with faint smiles, having already guessed this would happen.
Ksitigarbha nodded, smiling back, "Good! Let’s follow Sister’s lead."
Shi Ji suddenly stood up, scowling at Ksitigarbha, and declared, "I’ll go first!"
With a wave of his hand, a white cloth appeared in front of him as he introduced, "Eight Diagrams Cloud Light Cloth, adorned with treasures of Kan, Li, Zhen, and Dui, holding a myriad of precious entities, capable of summoning protectors from all directions of heaven and earth, classified as a Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
