Chapter 441 - 435: Anti-Miasma Pearl
Mudra Bodhisattva used his body as a sacrifice, regardless of whether Elder Bai and the others intervened, nothing would have changed.
In an instant, Mudra Bodhisattva’s physical form and divine soul slowly transformed into a grey substance, resembling a dark cloud.
Then, this grey substance passed through a black hole and instantly vanished without a trace.
Mudra Bodhisattva came quickly and died quickly.
From appearing to sacrificing himself and turning into a plague, the whole process took just over ten seconds.
Even Lin Yuan hadn’t reacted yet.
The main reason was that Lin Yuan didn’t know who this Mudra Bodhisattva was.
"Who was he?"
"The plagues he mentioned, have they already spread to our world?" Lin Yuan asked Elder Bai and the others.
Elder Bai nodded and said gravely, "He was Mudra Bodhisattva, a Tier Two powerhouse under the World Honored, a fragment of the Medicine King Buddha."
"His strength is inferior to the Grand Elder. Even if he sacrificed himself and turned into a plague, he couldn’t break through the defensive barriers set by the Grand Elder on Qingqiu Mountain."
"Thus, his intention to spread the plague was definitely not aimed at Qingqiu Mountain. It could only be your world."
"What a vicious heart! The World Honored wants to cut off the roots, forcing you to return to your world. Without you here, we can only face him directly."
Elder Bai wasn’t foolish, he immediately understood the purpose of the World Honored.
"Damn!"
"This is totally picking on the weak!" Lin Yuan couldn’t help but curse.
The World Honored is clearly taking advantage of the Real World’s lack of top-tier combat power, thus using this disgusting tactic against him.
"Facing directly, then facing directly it is!"
"Since you used my Qingqiu Mountain’s return to the ancestral land to release the plague to the ancestral land."
"Without the burden, I certainly won’t let things rest with the World Honored!" Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder said with a stern face.
Without the drag of Qingqiu Mountain, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder spoke much more confidently.
Although it’s known that the plague spread by Mudra Bodhisattva is targeting the Real World,
Lin Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to return.
Instead, he asked Elder Bai and the others, "Elder Bai, do you have a cure for this plague?"
The spreading of the plague by Mudra Bodhisattva was an opportunity that arose from the Qingqiu Fox Race descending upon the ancestral land in great numbers.
If this plague causes too many casualties, it would become a significant karmic burden for the Qingqiu Fox Race.
Thus, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder certainly couldn’t stand by idly.
Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder took out a white jade box from his bosom. Inside the box were three green pearls.
"This is called an Anti-Miasma Pearl. Wherever it’s located, it can ensure a radius of a thousand miles free from plague disturbance." Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder handed the Anti-Miasma Pearl to Lin Yuan.
Holding the Anti-Avoidance Pearl, Lin Yuan thought, according to Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s words, one Anti-Miasma Pearl can protect an area of a thousand miles.
Essentially, one Anti-Avoidance Pearl can guard a Giant City.
However, the Dragon Country has nine Giant Cities, and these three Anti-Avoidance Pearls aren’t enough!
"Grand Elder, are there more of these Anti-Avoidance Pearls?"
"Three are not enough!"
"Our Dragon Country has nine Giant Cities. Each city has a vast population. Once the plague spreads, the consequences would be unimaginable." Lin Yuan said gravely to Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder.
"I have two!"
"I have one!"
"I have one!"
...
...
Elder Bai, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Black Bear Spirit gathered an additional four Anti-Avoidance Pearls, bringing the total to seven.
But it’s still not enough; there’s a shortage of two more.
"With our cultivation, we’re no longer affected by any miasma, so we don’t deliberately collect Anti-Avoidance Pearls."
"These pearls were acquired by chance and kept as curiosities. Unexpectedly, they come in handy today."
"We’re still short of two Anti-Avoidance Pearls. The forests are full of miasma. Those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains definitely have some." Elder Bai said with certainty.
Hearing this, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "Young one, wait for me a moment. I will go to the Ten Thousand Mountains to seek the remaining two Anti-Avoidance Pearls from those old immortals."
Elder Bai said with a heavy tone, "This matter involves our conflict with the esteemed one. Those old immortals might not give them to us."
"Even if they give them to us, they will likely demand tough conditions."
Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s expression was grim, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Paying a small price is better than bearing immense karma."
Elder Bai nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll accompany you."
Lin Yuan chimed in at this moment, "Let’s go together. Besides, after obtaining the Anti-Miasma Pearls, I have to make a return trip."
Elder Bai didn’t refuse and took Lin Yuan to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
...
...
In the Ten Thousand Mountains, there’s a Divine Beast Bai Ze.
In matters of divination and calculation, Divine Beast Bai Ze is second only to Elder Bai.
After Mudra Bodhisattva turned into a plague at Qingqiu Mountain, Divine Beast Bai Ze predicted it.
To avoid karma, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder would definitely come to request the Anti-Avoidance Pearls to save those in the ancestral land.
Divine Beast Bai Ze also knew he couldn’t give the Anti-Avoidance Pearls!
Mudra Bodhisattva turning himself into a plague was a game between the World Honored and Elder Bai.
If they gave the Anti-Avoidance Pearls to Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, wouldn’t that be sabotaging the World Honored’s plan and offending the World Honored?
However, if they didn’t give the pearls when Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder came to ask, it would offend Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder.
After much consideration, the old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains decided to simply shut their doors and refuse guests.
When Elder Bai and the others arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains, no one came to greet them.
Those old immortals’ things didn’t make an appearance either.
"Those bastards just hid when things got tough!" Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder said through gritted teeth.
Lin Yuan, seeing this, thought, I’m familiar with this tactic.
Playing the game of closed doors, are we?
"Elder Bai, since they’re not welcoming, let’s leave!"
"However, when I get angry, I tend to talk nonsense. Soon, I’ll take these seven Anti-Miasma Pearls and leave."
"And I’ll loudly say, ’The seniors of the Ten Thousand Mountains are truly kind! I just had a walk here, and they gave me seven Anti-Avoidance Pearls.’" Lin Yuan said, pulling out the seven Anti-Avoidance Pearls gathered by Elder Bai and others.
Lin Yuan knew that those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains were secretly watching them, so he decided to play rogue.
In fact, just as Lin Yuan predicted.
As soon as Lin Yuan spoke, those hiding in the shadows were dumbfounded!
This young man’s tactics are a bit dirty!
This is like throwing muck on them!
If Lin Yuan really took those seven Anti-Avoidance Pearls and strutted out, saying they were given by the seniors of the Ten Thousand Mountains, even if those seniors denied it, who would believe them?
