Chapter 725 -245: Deceit Buddha Protects the Home, Family Harmony and Prosperity Thrive!_3
In recent days, there had been significant changes in Da Xia Country, especially at the moment the Heavenly Dao Decree resounded; he knew… a change was coming. In fact, some days earlier, a sudden drop in temperature had struck the Boundless Icefield, and a lot of Evil Wood had grown rapidly in Fei State. This news did not attract much attention; it was widely discussed, but no one knew what it meant. freёweɓnovel.com
He knew.
He had once served the Wang Family alongside Liu Zide, working for Chen Qiu. He knew that Chen Qiu had once paid a high price to buy a large amount of Evil Wood, nearly sweeping clean Fei State’s supply. He was not sure what this Evil Wood was, but he knew it was valuable.
So these days, he had been doing one thing, that was secretly trying to acquire some Evil Wood.
No, not acquire.
Because no one was selling the stuff now, all you had to do was pick it up from the ground if you wanted to, and he had simply sent some people to secretly collect some Evil Wood from the edges of Fei State, little by little. This way, even if discovered, they could excuse themselves by claiming they were collecting some Evil Wood to burn for warmth due to the cold weather, ensuring they didn’t attract too much attention.
It wasn’t that he worried this affair would be exposed, and someone would steal his Evil Wood.
He was simply worried that if everyone knew the value of Evil Wood and started collecting it, then without the Evil Wood for protection, the cold air from the Boundless Icefield would sweep through the south of Da Xia Country, forcing countless people to flee their homes—an enormous calamity indeed.
That day in Fei State.
During the last delivery to Chen Qiu, Chen Qiu took away his retainer Liu Zide, and said he could take him away too if he wished. At that moment, his heart was truly tempted; if possible, who wouldn’t want to see the world outside?
But he resisted.
Not for any other reason but because there was an opportunity at the Yuncheng Wang Family he had been waiting so long for that was about to manifest. After waiting so many years, if he didn’t see this opportunity with his own eyes, he would die in regret.
An orphan starting from scratch.
It sounded inspiring, but without any unexpected factors, as an orphan, the likelihood of ending up begging was much higher.
And his variable.
Was—
The Deceit Buddha on the altar.
A Buddha bead statue with a round face and a big belly, but the eyeballs were stained with bloodstains, revealing a gentle yet somewhat creepy smile, left palm open, right palm playing with a string of Buddha beads, the beads in hand crafted from human eyes, fake, yet lifelike and seemingly real.
This was what he dug up from the ground when he was on the brink of starvation, originally thinking it was an old trinket, intending to sell it in the market. But accidentally, a drop of his blood fell on the statue, and his life underwent a dramatic transformation!
The effect of this Deceit Buddha statue was simple: by offering some flesh and blood, one could obtain anything.
Such as Spirit Stones, entries, information, and so on.
But the flesh and blood had to be his own.
When he found this Deceit Buddha, the accidental drop of blood not only completed the recognition of the master but also performed his first sacrifice. Suddenly, a delicious roast chicken appeared from thin air, and that was the tastiest meal he ever had.
And this time.
The elderly master of the Wang family kneeling on the cushion took a deep breath before cautiously placing a thoroughly dried cow tendon, which he had been carefully wrapping inside his clothes, into the left palm of the Deceit Buddha.
This tendon was the one he had chopped off years ago in Fufeng City, which he had been carefully preserving just for this moment.
The next moment—
The tendon in the left palm of the Deceit Buddha slowly disappeared, absorbed into it.
Immediately after!
The Buddha beads wrapped around the hands of the Deceit Buddha suddenly had one originally dim bead flash with a red light, followed by a panel enveloped in mist suddenly appearing within the room.
He had tested it, and only he could see this panel; no one else could see it.
And after the Deceit Buddha recognized him as its master, he was the only one who could see it; others could neither see nor touch it.
–
“The twenty-seventh wish,”
“With this flesh and blood, fulfill this desire, bestow a Nascent Soul body!”
–
“Hoo…”
The elderly master of the Wang family kneeling on the cushion let out a long, satisfied sigh. With this Nascent Soul body, he could form a fairly high-grade Golden Core. In this way, when he later broke through the Golden Core stage, his foundation would not be weak.
This Deceit Buddha statue was his assurance and the reason he was unwilling to leave the Yuncheng Wang Family.
Initially, the Deceit Buddha wasn’t as large as it is now, but somehow, as the number of his wishes increased, the body of the Deceit Buddha gradually grew larger and heavier, to the point he couldn’t move it, so he could only stay in Yuncheng; there was no other way.
He had to guard his Yuncheng.
Even Liu Zide did not know that his biggest assurance had always been his own Deceit Buddha. The reason he was able to host a grand feast of nine oxen in “Fufeng City” was simply that he had traded for a strand of Qi Fortune called Luck of Human Pride from his Deceit Buddha, temporarily boosting his own fortune, though it wasn’t through chopping the ox.
Each time a wish was made, one bead on the hand coil of the Deceit Buddha would light up.
Altogether 31 beads.
Just a few more times, and all the beads in the hands of the Deceit Buddha would be lit. He had an intense feeling that when all the beads were lit, a grand opportunity awaited him!
