Chapter 146: These People Are Truly Crazy
The opening of the Wan Guo Temple sent all the practitioners inside the Cave Heavens into a frenzy.
This was the first secret realm to open in the Cave Heavens, and it featured the presence of the Reincarnation Disk.
The allure of the Reincarnation Disk was unquestionably significant for practitioners.
Moreover, one could comprehend the ways of reincarnation from the Reincarnation Disk.
Both the Reincarnation Disk and the path of reincarnation moved people deeply.
Naturally, the crowd at Wan Guo Temple kept increasing.
However, upon arriving at Wan Guo Temple, everyone discovered that the rumors had been misleading.
Initially, people heard that as long as they offered treasures to the Great Buddha, they could obtain the key.
But once they saw the Great Buddha and the fine print on top, they were left dumbfounded.
“Hmm? Why does it say to sacrifice blood essence and spiritual souls?”
“Wait, if I really have to sacrifice that, will I even survive?!”
Everyone was quite skeptical.
Sure, they could sacrifice blood, but how do you sacrifice your spiritual soul?
Do you have to yank it out? Isn’t that just asking for death?
Nonetheless, a few people decided to shrug it off.
They walked up to the black gourd, sliced their palms open, and pressed them against it.
“Woosh~”
The gourd emitted a powerful suction.
The person began to convulse uncontrollably.
Of course, Liu Shunyi only drew half of their essence.
He certainly didn’t want to drain someone completely—then Zhao Gou would have to come running to treat them!
Earning some merit was fine, but taking it easy was key.
After extracting half of the person’s spiritual soul and blood essence, a black bracelet floated onto their wrist.
The individual, now pale and trembling, stared at the bracelet in shock before making their way to the back courtyard.
Upon seeing the Thousand-Arm Bodhisattva statue, they lit up.
“Aha! So that’s it, hahaha! I get it now!”
They quickly pulled out all their treasures.
Seeing the spoils, Zhao Gou jumped in to heal the person immediately.
The result left that practitioner utterly stunned.
“I—I’ve even healed wounds I’ve had for years!”
After the shock came overwhelming joy.
They had braved the dangers of the secret realm simply hoping for a stroke of luck to find a means to heal their injuries, and now they were miraculously cured!
The practitioner was ecstatic and rushed out of Wan Guo Temple.
Their sister was on the verge of being beyond help, and they needed to see if she could also be healed by the Thousand-Arm Bodhisattva.
Not long after, they returned carrying their sister in their arms.
After sacrificing blood essence and a bit of their spiritual soul, they hurried to the Thousand-Arm Bodhisattva.
After another series of steps, the practitioner’s sister was full of life.
“Brother, I’m—I’m really healed!”
The two wept with joy.
Their display of success caught everyone else’s attention.
“Wait a second, fellow daoist, what’s going on here?”
The practitioner knelt in front of Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou.
Then they proclaimed, “These two statues are the opportunities!”
With that, the practitioner said no more.
He took his sister and dashed into the inner sanctum.
There was the real secret realm!
Moreover, with those black bracelets on their wrists, entering was a breeze.
At that moment, someone else noticed something odd.
“He sacrificed his blood essence and spiritual soul, but he’s fully recovered inside!”
“So, it’s not a deathtrap at all—maybe it’s a golden opportunity!”
Hearing such reasoning, others couldn’t resist testing it out.
And it turned out to be true!
Some began to explain.
“As long as you have the key, all your injuries can be healed in front of the Uniquely Compassionate Bodhisattva, but it requires treasures. There’s truth to that rumor; it’s just the details are a bit off.”
“Moreover, the Uniquely Compassionate Bodhisattva’s treatment isn’t limited to just our lost blood essence and spiritual souls; it can even root out other hidden dangers in our bodies, as long as the treasures are sufficient!”
Upon hearing this, everyone went wild.
For practitioners, this was a huge chance.
Thus, everyone went on a frenzy, offering blood essence and spiritual souls like crazy.
From that point onward, the prestige of Wan Guo Temple soared to heights unimaginable for Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou.
Of course, Liu Shunyi was still pretty chill.
He was just absorbing blood essence and spiritual souls.
Zhao Gou, meanwhile, was as popular as ever.
A bunch of folks were rabidly sacrificing treasures while Zhao Gou scrambled to treat everyone.
Zhao Gou was nearly at his limit!
And as their numbers grew, even he began to feel overwhelmed.
“Come on, I can’t keep this up!”
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
“No worries, I’ve got pills!”
Zhao Gou took a deep breath.
Days passed in the blink of an eye.
This time it wasn’t just Zhao Gou reaching his limit; even Liu Shunyi felt dazed.
Some practitioner had inadvertently fused a black bracelet into their magic weapon, causing it to level up.
What a jackpot!
With Zhao Gou around, the frenzy among the practitioners reached dizzying heights.
They were giving sacrificial offerings like their lives depended on it.
Liu Shunyi started to sweat.
The Golden Rolls of the Great Way mentioned that Abe Luoxue’s name had completely dimmed due to his excessive spending of merit, and the Heavenly God Sect vanished too.
Then the name of the Stag Pill crumbled.
Now he was draining the name of the Abe Family!
But the consumption was enormous!
No matter how much merit he had, it was quickly dwindling away thanks to this motley crew.
“Zhao Gou, stop healing! We’re bailing!”
Zhao Gou instantly perked up at the command.
The pair bolted right in front of everyone, one clutching the gourd and the other holding a box, straight into the back of the Wan Guo Temple.
But before leaving, Liu Shunyi returned the Great Buddha and the golden bowl right in front of everyone’s eyes.
A crowd stood there, gaping, staring at the returned Great Buddha and golden bowl with dark expressions.
They realized they had been played!
“Damn it! Those two shameless rascals! If I catch you, you’ll pay!”
Just as someone was about to hurl threats, they suddenly watched as someone offered treasures to the Great Buddha and was rewarded with a thin golden thread wrapping around their wrist.
They were left utterly speechless.
“No way, how is this even worse than fake?”
Someone doubted it, tossing in more treasures.
Sure enough, this Great Buddha wasn’t letting anyone cheat.
“Crap, what rubbish are you giving me?!”
The Great Buddha: “…”
“Why are you staring? Their ‘dad’ has ran off; go get them!”
In an instant, everyone surged madly toward the back courtyard of Wan Guo Temple.
The scene resembled a locust invasion.
And those eyes held a mixture of madness and adoration.
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi was just left speechless.
Once they entered the secret realm, a whole mob behind him and Zhao Gou was shouting “dad” like crazy.
This was totally out of hand!
