Qin Mu's vision suddenly plunged into darkness. When his consciousness awakened, he was horrified to find that his consciousness was actually inside the stone statue!
"What's going on?"
He opened his eyes and tried to move his eyes. Suddenly, he found that the eyes of the "stone statue" could move. Then he tilted his head and discovered that his consciousness now had a head.
He looked down and saw that his consciousness had actually merged with the "stone statue," and the hands and feet of the "stone statue" had become his own!
Consciousness is intangible, but now his consciousness had a form. This was extremely strange!
He felt that this "stone statue" was a kind of spirit, neither pure energy nor a soul, something very odd and hard to explain clearly.
"The Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure, the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure... Could it be that the stone statue is my Spirit Embryo? My consciousness entering the stone statue awakens the Spirit Embryo? Is this what the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure means?"
Qin Mu's Spirit Embryo blinked, and in an instant, he understood many things.
There are seven divine treasures hidden within the human body, and the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure is the first one. However, this divine treasure is sealed. Ordinary people can't open it, so naturally, they can't awaken the Spirit Embryo.
For those with Spirit Bodies, the divine treasures are naturally open. So, with the corresponding Spirit Blood, they can use it to guide their consciousness into the Spirit Embryo and awaken it.
The Spirit Embryo refers to this entity that accommodates consciousness.
Could it be that the divine treasures aren't bestowed by the gods but are actually sealed by them on purpose?
Just as he thought of this, suddenly, True Yuan surged in from outside, entering the sea of light. Strands of True Yuan were absorbed by the small Spirit Embryo. The wisps of True Yuan flowed in and out of his nostrils, making him feel very comfortable.
And with each breath of the Spirit Embryo, his True Yuan became much more pure!
Not only that, Qin Mu also discovered that the Spirit Embryo was absorbing the golden light in the sea of light. The golden light and True Yuan flowed in and out of his body together. The specks of golden light dotted the True Yuan, but he didn't know what effect it had.
He tried to make the Spirit Embryo stand up but found that this little baby - like form couldn't stand up or even move.
"How can the Spirit Embryo move? Well, I'd better ask the Village Chief and Granny when I get back."
As Qin Mu was thinking, suddenly, his consciousness returned to his body, and he opened his eyes.
Violent coughing sounds came from the temple. The monster wasn't dead and was lying in front of the Buddha statue, coughing up blood in large mouthfuls. After thinking for a while, Qin Mu stepped into the temple.
When the monster saw him enter the ancient temple, it was both shocked and delighted and quickly struggled to get up.
As Qin Mu walked towards it, he chanted, "Qike duo Samoye, Prajna Prajna Samoye, Qike duo Prajna Samoye!"
"How dare you, evil creature!"
The monster was terrified. Then, the golden Buddha statue behind it started shaking again, emitting a brilliant golden light. The chains clattered, pulling the monster to its knees again!
"Om, ma, ni, pad, me, hum!"
The Buddhist chant resounded loudly, and the monster coughed up blood, looking listless.
Qin Mu stopped chanting the demonic incantation, and the Buddhist chant of the golden Buddha statue also stopped after just one sentence. The monster under the Buddha statue panted heavily and was about to stand up when Qin Mu chanted the demonic incantation again. The monster let out a scream and quickly hid behind the Buddha statue. But Qin Mu only uttered one or two syllables and then stopped.
"You're a demon..."
The monster quietly poked its head out, looking at Qin Mu, who had entered the main hall of the temple, in horror. It said hoarsely, "You're the demon! You're the most heinous devil!"
Qin Mu didn't answer. He walked directly in front of the Buddha statue. After a moment of hesitation, he finally decided to follow the advice of the experienced blind man and said respectfully, "I've been weak with a deficiency of the kidney and have premature ejaculation of the Yuan Yang since I was a child..."
When the monster heard this, its eyes widened. Coughing up blood, it chuckled and said, "Little fellow, you're telling the Buddha statue about your weak kidneys? The Buddha won't absorb your essence!"
Qin Mu glared at it and said, "Qike duo Samoye..."
The Buddha statue shook and said, "Evil creature!"
The monster was scared out of its wits and quickly begged for mercy, shouting, "Stop chanting! Spare my life!"
Qin Mu stopped chanting, but the golden Buddha statue still recited a mantra, making the monster cough up blood again.
Qin Mu looked around but didn't find anything valuable. However, the mountain of white bones behind the Buddha statue startled him. Apparently, many people had died in this dilapidated temple, killed by this monster.
The young man couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You hid the bones behind the Buddha statue, making the Buddha statue an accomplice in covering up your crimes and tricking more people. If I were to use the Buddha statue's power to kill you, it would be a merit for the Buddha. I won't do that. Demon, what treasures do you have in this temple?"
The monster trembled and said, "I don't have any treasures! I was suppressed here by that bald thief, and he took all the treasures away."
"Qike duo..."
"Don't chant!"
The monster forced a smile and said, "Over the years I've been operating here, besides occasionally satisfying my appetite, I've also managed to gather some good stuff. I'll give it to you." With that, it reluctantly got up, staggered to the top of the main hall, and gently prodded at it. Suddenly, a movable hidden compartment in the hall was revealed, which it pried open.
The items in the hidden compartment clattered to the ground. They were weapons, armor, and some clothes, mostly women's undergarments. Judging by the material, they should be from wealthy families.
"That's all there is." The monster forced a smile.
Qin Mu frowned and said disappointedly, "Is that all? Aren't there any magic pills or elixirs?"
"I've already eaten all the magic pills and elixirs."
The monster stretched its centipede - like body, and its joints cracked. It sneered, "I've been imprisoned here for too long and want to eat everything. Magic pills and elixirs taste better than these people. How could I let them go? Don't underestimate these weapons. They're all precious. These weapons are treasures that can only be born in the Six Harmonies Divine Treasure. They've been nourished by their own True Yuan since birth and are extremely powerful. They're called Spirit Weapons!"
Qin Mu was skeptical. He picked up a goose - winged saber. It was incredibly heavy, much heavier than the pig - killing knife on his back. Strangely, the pig - killing knife was much larger, yet it weighed less than this seemingly ordinary saber.
The goose - winged saber was long and narrow, while the pig - killing knife was thick and wide.
Qin Mu took off his pig - killing knife and gently clashed it with the goose - winged saber. With a clang, the goose - winged saber broke in half, and the blade tip fell to the ground.
The monster stared blankly at the pig - killing knife in his hand, speechless.
Qin Mu was extremely disappointed and threw the goose - winged saber aside.
"Who forged this knife that looks like a chopping board?"
The monster exclaimed in surprise and stammered, "Spirit Weapons nourished by masters at the Six Harmonies Realm break at a touch. This knife that looks like a chopping board definitely wasn't forged by an ordinary person!"
Qin Mu stroked the pig - killing knife. The blade was icy cold, and a chill went straight to his heart and lungs. The pig - killing knife was made for him by the mute blacksmith in the village. The mute was a well - known blacksmith in the area, and his works were very popular. People from other villages often came to him to forge kitchen knives, hoes, plows, and other items.
"It's not made of ordinary iron!"
The monster foamed at the mouth. It wanted to come closer for a better look but didn't dare, fearing that Qin Mu would chant that strange demonic incantation again. It shouted, "Touch it. Do you feel the chill? If so, it's Cold Iron Gold Crystal!"
Qin Mu was surprised and nodded. "There is indeed a chill."
The monster exclaimed, "Using Cold Iron Gold Crystal to forge a chopping - board - like thing? And with such excellent forging skills, to make a knife like a chopping board? What a waste of materials and craftsmanship!"
Qin Mu glared at it, put the pig - killing knife on his back, then picked up the weapons and other treasures on the ground one by one, took them out of the dilapidated temple, and placed them in front of the temple.
The monster was enraged and shouted, "You already have such a good weapon. Why do you still want to take my things?"
"Granny said that if you get something by your own ability, you must take it all away."
Qin Mu turned around and smiled innocently. "I got all these things by my own ability, so I must take them all."
The monster was furious but didn't dare to turn against him. It could only watch as he carried away all the treasures it had painstakingly collected.
"Do you have any bags or something?" Suddenly, Qin Mu leaned in and asked.
"No!"
"Okay." Qin Mu pulled back.
The monster cautiously walked out of the main hall and saw Qin Mu cutting bamboo on the island. Soon, he made a bamboo raft, placed the treasures on it, and then used a long bamboo pole to row upstream.
"Whose naughty child is this, daring to rob even me?"
The monster jumped up and down in a rage and finally dared to curse, "Is there no law and order anymore? He even dared to ask me for a bag to carry his stolen goods. It makes me so angry!"
