Seemingly sensing the arrival of Zu'an, the old monk slowly opened his eyes, his tone filled with joy: "Finally, I've found a kindred spirit. Come quickly, I will pass on all my knowledge to you, so that the mantle will not be lost."
Zu An did not move, but instead cupped his hands and asked, "Why are you here, senior?"
"It's a long story," the old monk sighed.
"It's alright, I have plenty of time," Zu'an said with a smile. Although he was also worried about Jing Teng's safety, he still appeared quite relaxed on the surface.
The old monk: "..."
He could only say, "Back then, when I was fighting demons and protecting the righteous path, I went deep into the great tomb. Unfortunately, after a great battle, I was seriously injured and accidentally trapped here. After so many years, I am almost exhausted. I thought I could only die silently. I never expected that a kindred spirit would come and pass on all my skills to you, so that my mantle can be passed down to future generations. I have no regrets in this life."
"Thank you, senior. Please speak now. I am all ears." Zu An said with a respectful expression.
The old monk: "..."
He had no choice but to patiently say, "My lifespan is almost over, and I probably won't be able to finish speaking. Come here and I will transmit the teachings to you through divine sense. Since you were able to come here safely, your cultivation must be quite good. Flying over here shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Zuan said in a deep voice, "However, I have important matters to attend to. I will listen to your teachings after I finish my business."
“Didn’t you just say you had plenty of time?” The old monk was taken aback and hurriedly said, “My lifespan has been exhausted, and I only have one breath left. By the time you come back, I will definitely be dead. Let’s hurry up and pass on the teachings now. The whole process will be quick.”
Zuan scratched his head sheepishly: "What the senior said makes sense. Since it won't take long, I'll accept the senior's inheritance first."
Upon hearing the other party's words, a hint of joy flashed in the old monk's eyes. No one had come here for so many years. As long as he came, he would have a chance to possess his body and leave this seal that was targeting him.
So he said even more kindly, "Come on over here."
Zuan ran to the edge of the lava, and after taking off and advancing only a few meters, flames erupted from his clothes. Startled, he hurriedly ran back: "No, no, I don't know what's wrong with the lava down there, it's too powerful, I can't get over it."
He put away the Flame Pendant and the Soul-Burning Fire Crystal, and didn't fully activate his Yuan Qi to protect himself, which is why he ended up in such a sorry state.
The old monk pondered and said, "The lava has turned white, which is the manifestation of the ultimate fire spirit. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to resist. Well then, I happen to have something here that can help you get through this lava."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a bowl from somewhere and gently stroked its surface, his face showing the same reluctance as if he were caressing his lover.
With a gentle lift, the alms bowl flew straight to Zu'an, who then hurriedly instructed, "Jump directly into it. It can temporarily serve as a boat to ferry you across. Be quick, as it will be damaged if you stay in this lava for too long."
Zu'an took the alms bowl. Its surface was purple-gold, and it was engraved with some Buddha statues. A sense of vast compassion emanated from it.
Zuan was taken aback, wondering if he had misunderstood.
He couldn't help but ask, "This thing looks mysterious, I wonder what it's used for?"
The old monk replied, "This object is called the Purple Gold Bowl. It can help resist and protect against all kinds of bewitching and harming attacks from extraterrestrial demons or other spiritual entities. This object has already recognized me as its master. After you come and receive my inheritance later, you will naturally become its new master."
He was worried that the other party might become greedy, so he deliberately pointed out that the item had already been given a master and would be of no use to anyone else without his permission.
On the contrary, as long as you come here and receive his inheritance, you will receive everything. It shouldn't be difficult to choose which way to go.
Zu An was overjoyed. Although his Primordial Chaos Scripture could purify many evil things, it was not very effective against attacks that targeted the soul.
Bai Ming is, after all, an offensive spell, and is not a professional at protecting one's soul.
Previously, we were constantly at a disadvantage when fighting the Ghost King. If we had this item, we wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
Moreover, it can also guard against extraterrestrial demons. Legend has it that after cultivating to a certain level, each breakthrough will cause inner demons to be reborn, and extraterrestrial demons may even come. Once you cannot protect your true self, the demons will devour your soul, and all your hard work will be in vain.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands to the old monk and said, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, senior. I am in a hurry to save my friend. After I have saved my friend, I will definitely come to receive your inheritance as soon as possible."
After saying that, he put the purple-gold alms bowl into his bosom, turned around, and ran away.
The old monk was smiling and waiting for him to come over, but when he saw the scene before him, he was dumbfounded: "???"
