Chapter 372 The Righteous Routine

"My friend, you only need to send my disciple to the cave of the sick beauty, and you can take the two damaged spiritual treasures. I will also teach you the method of sacrifice and refining. If the opportunity comes, it may be possible to repair them." The old man with the bitter staff looked down at the ghost boy, then looked up and said to Yan Xu, this was a huge investment.

"What is your current condition?" Yan Xu didn't care about the two spiritual treasures, even if they were stronger than the ones he refined. He was more curious about the old man with the bitter staff's current condition and what had just happened.

"This is a trace of my soul that I have stored in the spiritual treasure. Because my main body has completely vanished, the spiritual treasure it resides in has also been damaged. It cannot last for too long. If you have anything you want to ask, you'd better do it quickly." The old man with the bitter staff is very easy to talk to now, because he is already dead, and his only obsession is the ghost boy.

As for whether Yan Xu is reliable, don't underestimate these old guys who have lived for hundreds of years. His disguise may deceive others, but not the other party, even if the other party is not even a remnant soul now.

The old man with the bitter staff could see that the man was not very old and was practicing orthodox martial arts. Most importantly, he was honest and kept his promises.

It is hard to say how he could tell, but the old man with the stick knew that the man in front of him was his best choice right now.

Finding an upright and trustworthy person or ghost in the haunted place of Yinshan is either impossible or takes a long time. However, the old man with the bitter stick cannot wait, so he can only choose Yan Xu.

After the old man with the bitter staff disappeared, Yan Xu immediately put the two broken spiritual treasures into the system for purification, and indeed found something unusual.

For an old fellow who has practiced for hundreds of years, even if his body is dead and his soul is scattered, it is not easy for him to die cleanly.

Unfortunately, facing the system, no matter how many tricks and changes he has, it is useless, and Yan Xu will not give the other party the opportunity to be his personal grandfather.

He concealed his tracks all the way and brought the ghost boy back to the sick beauty's cave. The two had not woken up yet, so Yan Xu was not in a hurry and began to think about what he had learned from the old man with the bitter staff.

The cause of the incident was very simple. When Old Man Kuzhang was young, he accidentally met Master Guangzhi. Although one came from a famous and upright family and the other from a lesser sect, they unexpectedly got along well.

The two of them traveled together in the world, and their friendship grew deeper and deeper, so when Master Guangzhi's master, Living Buddha Yuzhu, was about to pass away, he also went there. After all, they were friends, so he couldn't go to weddings, but he had to go to funerals, and by the way, he could give a share of the money and have a vegetarian meal or something.

Who would have thought that in his final moments, Master Guangzhi showed signs of going insane due to excessive grief.

Master Guangzhi was the only disciple of Yuzhu Living Buddha and held a high status, so the scene was in chaos.

At this time, the old man Ku Zhang who stayed behind discovered that Yuzhu Living Buddha had passed away and the refined spiritual treasure also emerged.

Old Man Kuzhang, who was used to living a hard life, had never seen so many good things. When he saw the treasure, he became greedy and stole the Yuzhu stick, which led to a break with Master Guangzhi.

In fact, the old man with the bitter staff regretted it afterwards and wanted to return the jade bamboo staff. However, he discovered a shocking secret on it. Greed took root in his heart and he never mentioned returning it again. Instead, he hid in Yinshan Mountain to study the treasure carefully.

But due to an accident, the strange phenomenon of the Jade Bamboo Staff alarmed an old monster deep in the Yinshan Mountain. Not only was the Jade Bamboo Staff broken into pieces, but even the fragments were snatched away. Not only did the old man with the Kuzhang end up with nothing, but he also died at the hands of Master Guangzhi five hundred years later, thus ending the cause and effect.

The whole thing was full of problems in Yan Xu's eyes. Yuzhu Living Buddha was already a living Buddha, how could he not have figured out these things?
Even if he is about to die and doesn't want to care about worldly affairs anymore, there are only a few people in such a huge Jade Buddha Temple?

Master Guangzhi had a problem and all of them went. Let's not talk about whether it was possible or not. There was not enough space for so many monks to sit in the room. Moreover, the Yuzhu Staff was a sacred treasure that Yuzhu Living Buddha had carefully sacrificed for many years. It was too shameless to just take it away.

Besides, the old man with the bitter staff was not an immortal at that time. Judging from his cultivation level at that time, he might even be worse than Yan Xu.

With such strength, he was able to take away the magical treasure dropped by the big boss in the Jade Buddha Temple base and avoid being hunted down for hundreds of years?
In Yan Xu's opinion, this was all a trap set for the old man with the bitter stick, just to get him to take away the jade bamboo stick.

The old man with the bitter stick may not have failed to see the problem at that time, but he was from a side family and could not resist such temptation, so he took the jade bamboo stick on impulse.

Later, probably because he thought more and more that it didn't seem right, he wanted to send the thing back. As a result, by coincidence, he discovered a big secret hidden in the jade bamboo stick. As a result, greed blinded his reason and he could no longer turn back.

If Yan Xu had not read The Legend of Swordsman from Mount Shu, he probably would not have come to his senses so quickly. However, this set of tactics is commonly used by those famous and upright sects in The Legend of Swordsman from Mount Shu. How many masters of unconventional and evil ways have lost their families and lives in this way, which is comparable to the "Daoist friend, please stay" in The Investiture of the Gods.

If it weren't for the system, Yan Xu would probably have been considering running away.

The question now is whether these plots end with the old man with the bitter staff or extend to his disciples.
Yan Xu touched his chin. If he didn't want to get involved, it would be very simple. The old man with the bitter staff asked him to send the ghost boy to the sick beauty, and he did it. Besides, he didn't have much friendship with Lin Xiangqiao, so he turned around and left. This matter had nothing to do with him, but the benefits he could get also ended there.

After taking a look at what he had gained from this adventure, Yan Xu began to feel uneasy as he had strength and a way out.

Being cautious and timid is due to lack of strength. Once you have strength and ability, it will be difficult to suppress the desire to show off.

Yan Xu did not intend to intervene directly. After all, showing off is not courting death. There is nothing wrong with showing off new clothes and nice cars if you have money. But hanging around with passbooks and gold bars and beating up anyone you meet to show off your wealth and connections is acting like a spoiled child.

Moreover, with his small body, if he dares to directly get involved in the Jade Buddha Temple's plan that has been prepared for at least hundreds of years, isn't he afraid of ending up like the old man with the staff?

After the three woke up, the ghost boy cried bitterly in Lin Xiangqiao's arms, then he was ready to take revenge with the bone whip, but was stopped by Lin Xiangqiao.

"Let him go. The old man with the bitter stick is his only child. If he dies, everything will be over and you won't have to worry." Xu Feiyan said casually.

"What did you say!" The ghost boy was about to explode, dragging Lin Xiangqiao to fight with Xu Feiyan.

"What's your master's level of cultivation? What's your level of cultivation? You don't think about improving your strength, but only want to take revenge. What have you done wrong?" Xu Feiyan's words made the ghost boy collapse directly. He cried so miserably, which made Lin Xiangqiao feel distressed, but she still gave Xu Feiyan a grateful look.

Because of her cultivation technique, Lin Xiangqiao was unable to protect herself, so how could she have the ability to help the ghost boy with revenge? Not to mention that even the immortals like the old man with the bitter stick were dead, so what else could they do?

Xu Feiyan was also worried about her friend. After all, with her small body, if she was implicated, no one knew what would happen to her.

The best plan now was to find a backer for the two of them, so Xu Feiyan gave Lin Xiangqiao a wink.
