Chapter 57: Storage Ring
Chapter 57: Storage Ring
Abbess Clearlotus could see countless figures inside the small courtyard, be it the elderly or the youthful. They were gathered around the withered well; some not uttering a word whereas some chattered non-stop.
All right, Ill relay your words to War God Fang, Abbess Clearlotus nodded. She turned to Fang Chen and said, War God Fang, they want you to promise them to drive the Blood Spirit Cultists out of Great Xia.
You can see ghosts? Fang Chen was fazed.
He had drawn out his soul countless times over the last five years, but he had never seen a ghost before. Was it possible that this second stage Ki Refinement little nun was really able to see ghosts?
My master said I was born with Yin-Yang Eyes, which allows me to see ghosts, Abbess Clearlotus replied with a nod.
Li Daoye was getting goosebumps all over his body. This Little Abbess is a wonderful person, but her ability to see ghosts really creeps me out!
Tell them I will, Fang Chen replied with a nod.
Abbess Clearlotus saw the figures bowing toward Fang Chen, and she said, War God Fang, they are bidding you farewell.
May you have a smooth journey, Fang Chen clasped his fist and replied.
Are they gone yet? Li Daoye anxiously asked.
Yes, they are gone. Abbess Clearlotus nodded. I promised them to stay in Great Xia and help War God Lotus drive away the Blood Spirit Cultists.
Little Abbess, you made that promise by yourself. This has nothing to do with me. Im going to get out of here, and I think you should come with me! Li Daoye cried.
I gave them your word in your stead too, Abbess Clearlotus added.
What?! You gave them my word in my stead?! You didnt ask me! Li Daoye was horrified.
My master said that we must fulfill our promises to the ghosts, or else well face many difficulties on our path toward immortalhood, Abbess Clearlotus said.
Did your master tell you not to easily give your promise to others too?! Li Daoye nearly tore his hair out.
Abbess Clearlotus was stunned. Seconds later, she nodded. I think my master said something like that too.
Why are you easily giving your promise to others then?! You even promised them in my stead. What a terrible nun you are! I shouldnt have saved you from those human traffickers! Li Daoye bellowed in a fit of anger.
Please feel free to leave if you wish. This is our own affair. You dont need to get involved in it, Fang Chen said.
Ill be taking my leave then! Li Daoye clasped his fist. With a harrumph, he leaped across the wall and left.
Little Abbess, you should leave too, Fang Chen said.
War God Fang, I must fulfill my promise to them. Ill stay behind and help you, Abbess Clearlotus said.
Youre only at second stage Ki Refinement. How do you intend to help me? Fang Chen asked.
Abbess Clearlotus was taken aback. She clearly hadnt thought things through. Her face turned red, and she nervously fiddled with her fingers before finally replying with a soft voice, I can see ghosts. That should be useful somehow
Its fine. My parents are Buddhists anyway, so why dont you stay in our Fang Manors praying room for the time being? Fang Chen said with a nod.
He had to concede that the little nuns Yin-Yang Eyes could help him a lot if put to good use.
He walked out of the Compassion Hall with the little nun and found that Fang Qingyao and her maid were still lingering around. They were waiting for him.
Miss Fang, is there anything else you need from me? Fang Chen asked.
War God Fang, General You intends to seal off this Compassion Hall, but if so, the vulnerable people whom they have taken in wouldnt have anywhere to go Im wondering if its possible for my Verdant Apothecary Hall to take over this Compassion Hall Fang Qingyao said.
Thatd be wonderful. Ill have my men settle the procedures for you. Dont hesitate to drop by our Fang Manor if your Verdant Apothecary Hall ever encounters any business problems, Fang Chen said with a smile.
Thats good to hear. Fang Qingyaos eyes lit up in delight.
It didnt take long for the Fang Manor to learn that Fang Chen had brought a little nun back.
Fang Canghai and his wife immediately rushed out. Fang Cangyou also pushed his wheelchair over at an amazing speed. Their faces turned bizarre when they saw Abess Clearlotus.
Chener, I never expected you to have such a preference Fang Cangyou mumbled.
Fang Canghai shot a ferocious glare at his younger brother before curiously assessing Abbess Clearlotus from head to toe. Chener, this abbess is?
Abbess Clearlotus is a highly-enlightened nun. Father, mother, I know you pursue Buddhism, so I invited her to stay in our praying room so that mother doesnt have to travel to the Temple of Enlightenment anymore, Fang Chen said.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. At least Fang Chen doesnt intend to marry this little nun. They couldnt be blamed for being so nervous, as this was the first time Fang Chen brought a woman back.
Fang Chens mother stepped forward and warmly welcomed Abbess Clearlotus. Having never experienced such hospitality, the little nun swiftly turned red.
No matter how they looked at it, she didnt seem like a highly-enlightened nun. Fang Canghai and Fang Cangyou couldnt help but get suspicious once more.
Fang Chen paid no heed to them. He made some light talk before returning to his room. He took out a ring he had found amidst Master Xu Huis ashes, which he suspected to be a storage ring.
To think it has eight daosoul imprints on it. Its no ordinary treasure.
When Fang Chens spirit ki came into contact with the ring, it revealed eight daosoul imprints.
For the next two days, Fang Chen spent his spirit ki erasing Master Xu Huis aura from the ring. Following that, he assimilated the ring, and the ring finally became his artifact.
He put on the ring and slowly infused his spirit ki into it. He immediately saw a void with slightly more than a hundred low-grade ki stones scattered around and a golden bowl. The golden bowl was the artifact Xu Hui had previously used against the gray-robed daoist.
A space thats around a cubic meter big. Not bad. Fang Chen smiled.
Neither the Greenwood Puppet nor the jade pendant was on par with this storage ring. This storage ring allowed him to carry items that were usually inconvenient for him to bring about.
He retrieved the golden bowl and examined it. It had the same number of daosoul imprints as the Greenwood Puppet. He didnt intend to use it just yet, so he tossed it back into the storage ring. At the same time, he placed the Greenwood Puppet and the hundred low-grade ki stones he had earned into the storage ring.
He kept the jade pendant on him though.
I have a couple of spirit artifacts and over two hundred low-grade ki stones. That should make me decently wealthy among Ki Refinement cultivators, Fang Chen murmured.
Just then, he heard a commotion outside.
Young master, the Valiant Defenders have barged into our mansion! Xu Ge urgently reported from outside the door.
Got it. Fang Chen nodded.
At the main hall, Fang Cangyou glared at the fifty ferocious Valiant Defenders before him from his wheelchair, not displaying the slightest fear. With cold eyes and a lofty voice, he sneered, You Valiant Defenders must think lightly of our Fang Manor to dare barge in like that. Does your commander, Xiao Shence, intend to make enemies out of our Fang Manor?
Second Master Fang, I have heard about you, but I didnt think we would meet under such circumstances. We have come under orders. I hope you can call Fang Chen out to meet us, Enforcement Envoy Liu said.
