Lu Xun sat on the paper crane, watching the scene before him, his pupils dilated slightly.

What on earth is this bead?

It has such magical effects!

Clearly, Sword Sheath intentionally did this before leaving, perhaps as a form of paying back to the Shallow Water Temple.

But the effect was truly astonishing. It could make vegetation bloom and bear fruit and even impart health to the body!

It’s as if an exuberant life force was infused into them!

Looking down, Lu Xun saw the old monk at the temple gate, hands clasped together, chanting Buddha’s name and bowing in their direction.

Lu Xun returned the bow, then rode the paper crane north without pause.

Came in a hurry, left in a hurry.

He thought this was quite good.

Perhaps, even the monks in Shallow Water Temple didn’t know the extraordinary use of the bead in the hand of the Stone Buddha, did they?

Otherwise, they would have used it long ago.

If the bead was left to gather dust in the temple, presumably the old monk wouldn’t have many days left.

This accidental encounter seemed somewhat “karmic”.

What he was curious about now was, what was this bead, why was it in the Shallow Water Temple, and what benefits could it bring to Sword Sheath?

All of this still needed him to dig deeper into in the future.

Aboard the paper crane, Lu Xun looked at Sword Sheath and asked, “Can you use that power again?”

The black rope on Sword Sheath floated up, then hooked lightly, signaling yes.

This indirectly indicated that even though it needed to absorb this energy, it probably didn’t need to absorb all of it, a part of it would suffice.

This made Lu Xun very happy.

“This isn’t a bead, it’s clearly a wet nurse!” Lu Xun thought.

Although he didn’t know how much green energy was in the bead, until it was exhausted, this energy presumably had significant healing effects!

But daydreaming won’t do any good, as well try it directly!

Lu Xun glanced at Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, and then thought, “Forget it, I can’t bear to use loli and my darling disciple as guinea pigs, might as well harm myself.”

At times like this, Lu Xun deeply missed Mo Guanji.

If there were stupid players near him, he could just slice the player, there was no need to hurt himself for the experiment.

And slicing players also had no responsibility, even if the wound was bigger, deeper, it seemed there would be nothing serious.

As a guinea pig, players were too perfect.

Lu Xun lifted his right finger, which produced Sword Qi.

Then, he cut a wound on the palm of his own left hand with it.

He didn’t cut too deep, but the blood still flowed out quickly.

Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan watched Lu Xun self-harm in public, both were stunned for a moment.

“What a sudden spree of self-harm from Junior Brother!” Mao Nanbei thought.

“Ah! Master is hurt!” Lin Chan was somewhat anxious and nervous.

Then, they watched a green bead pop out from the Sword Sheath with a “plop”.

Green energy flowed into Lu Xun’s palm, which rapidly restored to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye, without even leaving a scar!

This all happened in an instant!

Lu Xun touched his intact palm, the skin was quite smooth.

He thought, “What a milkiness volume!”

But where was the limit for healing?

Should I do a deep test?

He looked at his palm, and quickly dispelled the slightly crazy idea in his heart.

“No need, no need,” Lu Xun said to himself.

Such a perfect body, I better not waste it.

Anyway, public testing will start soon. By that time, he could issue a mission to Mo Guanji to be the test subject.

He would definitely be delighted to draw a knife to his own body for experience points.

If … he didn’t suddenly die during this period.

The paper crane quickly flew away from the vicinity of the Shallow Water Temple, Lu Xun looked down at the sword sheath and asked, “Do you know what this pearl is?”

The black cord on the sword sheath swung from side to side, as if shaking its head.

“So you sensed that this thing is useful to you?” Lu Xun asked again.

The sword sheath nodded its head, seeming to act purely on instinct.

“Can you advance to the next level then?”

The sword sheath paused to think, then two black cords swung to the sides, as if making a shrugging gesture.

The implication was: Little old me doesn’t know either~ Oh, woe is me~

It was like the earlier Yin Bead swallowed by the sword sheath and turned into a waste bead, without any changes in it, which made Lu Xun doubt whether it was simply gluttonous.

But this green pearl looked very mysterious, presumably, it would have an effect, and Lu Xun looked forward to the result.

On the other hand, the Shallow Water Temple.

Four bald little turtles were cleaning the entrance of the temple.

Yes, because they moved so slowly, they hadn’t finished their cleaning duties till now.

The magical event that just occurred had greatly surprised the four little turtles, the withered tree inside the temple had actually sprouted new buds!

Revival from death!

And their Master’s body seemed to have improved a lot as well, both his complexion and demeanor appeared healthier than before.

Presumably, all of this was related to the three guests who had visited earlier, right?

They had inquired about this from their Master at the first instance, but the old monk had asked them to finish cleaning first. Therefore, they had to suppress their curiosity, and silently quicken their pace, from the normal speed of 0.5 times to 0.6 times!

Challenging their own limits.

Finally having cleaned the front of the temple thoroughly, the four little bald turtles, touching their heads, walked happily into the temple together.

The old monk was sitting on his mat expectantly waiting for them.

“Master.” The four little turtles bowed in unison.

The old monk nodded, motioning for them to find a mat and sit down.

It was the youngest looking monk who couldn’t help but speak. This was the one who had told Mao Nanbei “We’re not turtles, we’re tortoises.”

He said, “Master! That wandering old Taoist Priest was right! Master’s body has indeed improved this year!”

After saying this, he slowly touched his bald head again and said, “Then, then, the old Taoist Priest said that I will definitely grow taller than the eldest senior brother in the future, will it come true too!”

While touching his bald head, he leisurely let out a silly giggle.

The tall monk sitting beside him gently knocked on his head with a light hand.

The old monk looked at his four disciples, a kind smile on his face, and recalled his encounter several months ago with the passing old Taoist Priest. He said:

“Taoist Priest Shengxu displays profound cultivation and specializes in prediction. It seems that he has calculated this day.”

Who would have thought that one act of giving would lead to such a transformation.

Amitabha Buddha.

The old monk sitting on his mat glanced in the direction outside the temple, and the image of Lu Xun, wearing a bamboo hat, appeared in his mind.

“I suppose this benefactor who wears a bamboo hat is the [Unpredictable Person] who Taoist Priest Shengxu spoke of,” the old monk thought.

He couldn’t help but recall the events of that day.

The old Taoist who goes by the name Shengxu had predicted that the old monk would have an opportunity and his health would improve in a few months. However, during the calculation process, he found that he could only predict some minor details and couldn’t predict too much.

This amazed Taoist Priest Shengxu.

Then he began to risk his life.

He calculated divination five times in a row, but as long as the hexagrams related to the person who could heal the old monk were concerned, he couldn’t predict much!

It was as if everything was covered with a layer of thick fog!

By the time he calculated the fifth hexagram, Taoist Priest Shengxu’s hands were shaking.

At the end of the fifth hexagram, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then fainted.

Swooning.
