Seeing that his spiritual consciousness could not have any effect on the rotten Kegu Temple, Chen Fan put away his thoughts of probing and planned to enter the city to find out in person.

And Zhao Zheng, the king of Wu, actually had a palace in Lanke City.

The garden was serenely laid out, and there were hundreds of servants and maids waiting on them. They had different meals every day. Due to the convenience of the family, Chen Fan chose one of the remote guest rooms to stay temporarily.

During this period, the old man Li Zangfeng came to Chen Fan more than once for instruction and martial arts training, and he seemed to have a certain unwillingness to give up.

After all, this man had been practicing martial arts for decades, and had traveled around the world of Wu for countless years. He was defeated by a monk who looked no more than twenty years old with a single move, and his decades of belief in martial arts collapsed.

If you can't get around the pitfalls of this immortal cultivator, you will probably wake up in nightmares for the rest of your life.

Fortunately, Chen Fan was also a martial artist. With his previous physical training experience, he pointed out Li Zangfeng's weak physical body, which made this half-congenital old man wake up from a dream. After several days of hard training in martial arts, he regained his vitality.

A slight improvement.

In a short time, this person might really be able to take that crucial half-step, like Liu Jinlong, the former leader of the Golden Knife Sect, and he might even be able to step into the innate world.

As for the Ninth Prince, he had been deeply educated by the royal family since he was a child. He had also seen several low-level immortal cultivators in the royal family, so he was not interested in Chen Fan's identity.

It's just that the Ninth Prince brought his beautiful and beautiful princess to visit every few days and debated scriptures with Chen Fan. He looked like he was devoted to the Buddha, which made Chen Fan a little bit dumbfounded.

…

After staying in the palace for three days, Chen Fan took stock of what Jin Zong Temple had gained.

During this trip, a total of two Jindan cultivators were killed, hundreds of low-level disciples who were building foundations and practicing Qi, and more than a hundred storage bags were paid.

Moreover, the Jinzong Temple is backed by the Xuanjin placer vein, and everyone in the temple, from the low-level disciples to the Jindan elders, is rich and wealthy.

After searching through more than a hundred storage bags, Chen Fan obtained a total of more than 30,000 high-level spiritual stones, plus countless various magical weapons, elixirs, materials, and a large number of black gold placer ores.

"These spirit stones should be enough for me to perfect the spirit-swallowing body-shaping technique in the foundation-building stage." Chen Fan bagged the spirit stones with satisfaction, and took out a few jade slips that had been collected by the monks.

Recorded in these jade slips, in addition to some interesting secrets about the Buddhist sect of the Wu Kingdom and some Buddhist techniques in the Jinzong Temple, there are also two Buddhist magical powers that Chen Fan is quite interested in.

One of them is the rumored Buddhist secret technique for refining the Dharma Protector, and the other is the life-killing Sanskrit sound used by the monk Jiankong.

The secret technique of the Dharma Protector Vajra is also called the Puppet Vajra by Buddhists.

It is necessary to use living corpses with strong physical bodies as the main material, corpse beads as auxiliary materials, and infusion with Buddha power to convert the corpse beads in the living corpse from yin to yang to refine them into artificial Vajra relics.

The more powerful the living corpse body is, the more powerful the Dharma Protector Vajra is trained to be.

Moreover, behind this magical power of the Dharma Protector Vajra, there is also a secret technique of splitting the soul to control it. The person who needs to control it needs to split the soul to remotely control the puppet Vajra.

If it is in the hands of a Nascent Soul monk, this Puppet King Kong can still carry the monk's Nascent Soul. Even if the monk's body is destroyed, he can rebuild it again with this Puppet King Kong, a bit like the rumored second incarnation of the Taoist sect.

As for the latter kind of life-seeking Sanskrit sound, it is a sonic magical power called the magic spell.

This sonic magical power contains the divine soul and the impact of spiritual thoughts, and is particularly effective against monks like Chen Fan who have not specifically practiced spiritual consciousness techniques.

Before, Chen Fan was not paying attention, and was temporarily controlled and immobilized by Monk Jiankong's magic spell. This shows that the power of this spell is quite powerful.

Moreover, in addition to chanting and casting sutras, this demon-subduing spell can also be combined with a loud roar to transform into a ranged sonic attack with a demon-subduing roar, which is quite suitable for Chen Fan's immediate appetite.

However, the cultivation of these two magical powers consumes quite a lot of mana and time, so Chen Fan can only put it aside for the time being and plans to finish exploring the Kegu Temple first.

…

At night, the entire Lanke City is dimly lit.

Chen Fan took advantage of the darkness and quietly flew into the Lankegu Temple on the low hill in the center of the city.

The black wooden plaques of the ancient temple are gilded with gold paint, and the candles in the temple are brightly lit. Even late at night, you can hear the faint sound of chanting sutras.

As for the main hall of the ancient temple where the golden body of the holy monk is enshrined after his death, there is a young novice who is on duty at night to add oil and hold the lamp to ensure that the lights in the main hall are not extinguished day and night.

After Chen Fan sneaked into the hall with his body hidden, he first gave the young novice monk a sleeping spell, and then he walked around the golden statue of the holy monk and looked at it.

This holy monk has an average appearance, a bit like an eighty-year-old man, and his entire body has been melted into the golden statue.

Only through the secret technique of the spiritual eye can one roughly see the mortal body inside the golden statue.

"Huh?"

"This is a Buddhist relic!"

"Furthermore, the Buddha relic's light is astonishing. It was obviously transformed by this holy monk after his death!" Chen Fan closed his purple-blue spiritual eyes with a look of amazement.

You know, when passing over this city previously, Chen Fan saw a Buddha's light rising into the sky from a distance.

Upon closer inspection, the fluctuations of Buddha's light are even more pure and astonishing!

Even Chen Fan's spiritual consciousness cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building was suppressed by this invisible Buddha's light, and he could not explore even half of it.

"strangeness."

"Why has no one from the Buddhist sect come to pick up such a relic of a holy monk after it has been left here for hundreds of years?"

"Logically speaking, this relic transformed by the holy monk can help any Buddhist cultivator."

"You can even take this relic and exchange it for spiritual stones!" Chen Fan muttered in his heart.

As the saying goes: when things go wrong, there must be a monster!

Although there is no mana fluctuation in this rotten Kegu Temple, the means of suppressing and devouring the spiritual consciousness of the monks in this hall are obviously not something ordinary cultivators can deploy.

To be on the safe side, Chen Fan just walked around the golden statue of the holy monk and bowed to it.

Feeling that the relics inside the golden statue were not of much use to him, and that there was a sense of rejection hidden in them that Chen Fan could not explain, Chen Fan only paused for a moment before turning around and flying away from this rotten Kegu Temple.

What Chen Fan didn't expect was!

Less than ten breaths after he left, the lamp-holding novice who had been put to sleep by him suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from lying on the ground.

"You, the little monk, are wise enough to leave."

"If I didn't have the eyes to retrieve the human Buddha relics inside the golden statue, I would probably have another innocent soul in this palm soul lamp."

"But this little monk is really weird inside!"

"The magic power cultivated by Buddhist scriptures can actually coexist with corpse energy."

"There are also two messy demon bloodlines supporting him in his body."

"The depth of the mana foundation within the body is many times greater than that of monks of the same level."

"The physical body is also extremely powerful! It seems that it also has the doubled magical power of the giant spirit and old monster."

"I don't know which sect cultivated this little monster."

"Weird! How odd!"

"If I hadn't lost half of the Maitreya Buddha in a bet and claimed that he has the power to guard this place, I would have captured this young monk and trained him for a few days."
Chapter completed!
