376 Your Buddhist Dharma Isn’t Enough

Yao Bugui nodded bitterly.

He could sense that this person’s strength was much more terrifying than Medicinal Sovereign’s. Even the Soul Transformation elders he came into contact with could not compare.

Based on the battle achievements of the other party, even if an army pressed down on the border, they would not be able to do anything to this person. Hence right now they had no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster.

The group of people who as still coughing out blood brought the domineering Song Shi to the warehouse inside the door.

In the palace protected by layers of Array Formations, rows of wooden shelves were mainly filled with herbs and pills. There were also many talismans, Dharma treasures, ores, and other treasures.

Other than that, there were also piles of low-grade spirit stones.

“How many medium-grade high-grade spirit stones do you have?”

Song Shi said. These inferior-grade spirit stones were useless to him. Even medium-grade spirit stones had a limited effect on improving his cultivation.

“Middle-grade is about twenty thousand, we don’t have any high-grade stones.” Yao Bugui was very cooperative.

“Give it to me proportionately. As for what’s here, do the same.”

Song Shi looked at some of the unique items. “Give me the unique items that can’t be divided up. I’ll offset it with by deducting the other things I need.”

“No problem.”

Yao Bugui did not hesitate at all.

Song Shi took another look at the old man. “You’re not bad. You’re sensible and have a bright future.”

“It is my honor to be able to work for Immortal Song.”

Yao Bugui said politely. He quickly got someone to pack the spirit stones and other treasures and handed them to Song Shi.

“You’ll figure this out with Wu Xi from now on.”

Song Shi nodded in satisfaction. Space ripples appeared under his feet, and he disappeared in a flash.

Yao Bugui’s pupils constricted. “The Array Formation actually failed to stop him?”

The First Prince spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. “Pfft, this person is a bandit. Yao Bugui. Why were you so cooperative?”

“Prince, you are not in Great Qian after all. You don’t know how cruel he is.”

Yao Bugui smiled bitterly. “If we really force him to kill us, none of us will be able to escape.”

“Hmph, wait for me to report back and send an army over. Why would I be afraid of him?”

The Eldest Prince sneered, “I can’t take this lying down!”

Yao Bugui said indifferently, “The Eldest Prince might not know, but he has two subordinates that are Demon Venerable. Palace master Yao Yue, who has just reached the Soul Transformation realm, is also his woman. In terms of high-level combat strength, she is even stronger than our Alchemy Kingdom’s royal family.”

He had lingering fears. “If I don’t hold back, I might end up like those two Great Demon Venerables and be controlled by him. That would be a fate worse than death.”

He did not know that the Sacred Lord of the Sand Country’s Great Light Temple was also under Song Shi’s Crowd Control. If he knew, he would not have even dared to act rashly at all.

Even so, the First Prince broke out in cold sweat, not knowing what to say.

“He left us thirty percent of the profits. We still have some to earn so there is no need to resist. This person isn’t simple. Your Highness, go back and tell the Crown Prince what happened with this person. He should be able to understand my choice.”

Yao Bugui was less polite to the First Prince. He roughly knew the reason why this person was not appointed as the Crown Prince.

A similar phenomenon occurred at the border between the Water Nation and the Qian Nation. The outcome was similar. They became well-behaved after suffering a beating.

Then, he left the Great Qian. The remaining process was still very smooth, but after coming to the west, the resistance became intense.

To get rid of the Sword Nation’s forces, he had to waste a Spirit Command Talisman and also killed a few people.

When he arrived at Yuzhou, which was adjacent to Sand Country, he saw that there were many Buddhist temples, incense offerings, and many believers. Song Shi immediately knew that this place had been infiltrated more severely.

This was not a place where resources were simply controlled, but where thoughts were controlled.

Song Shi skillfully asked a passerby, “What’s the name of the largest temple here?”

“Of course it’s the Light Temple. It’s an honor to be able to enter this temple and burn incense.”

The passersby looked pious.

“This Light Temple is very similar to the Great Light Temple in Sand Country. It should be considered a branch of the Great Light Temple.”

Song Shi was deep in thought. He asked for the Light Temple’s location and went straight there.

Yuzhou was rich in jade and had many deserts. The area was extremely vast and spanned ten thousand kilometers. However, as long as there were people gathering, there would definitely be Buddhist temples amidst them.

On the way to Light Temple, Song Shi was also learning about the state’s economic situation. He was surprised to discover that the wealth contained in this desert-based territory was not inferior to that of a rich land.

There were many oases and grasslands in the desert. Each was not big, but after they were combined, the area of the fertile land was not inferior to that of the rich prefectures. It could rear a large number of cows and horses. Moreover, there were many ores underground, especially jade, which gave rise to jade carving, and other jade businesses.

Most of the wealth generated by these businesses was absorbed by the various temples. Most of it was the temple’s own industry, whereas the other profits were made from the incense money that people obediently hand over.

In short, the wealth of the temples here was in no way inferior to that of the large families in the rich southern states. Moreover, because of their mental control on these people, there were fewer conflicts and internal strife.

After his inference, He concluded that Yuzhou might have accumulated more wealth than Bai State.

“I’ve really broadened my horizons. If I didn’t come here personally, how would I know about this situation?”

Song Shi sighed. Fortunately, he had prepared to make the wedding lively and wanted to invite all the major countries as much as possible. Or else he would not have come here.

Along the way, he cultivated and arrived at Light Temple. Song Shi circulated his Acalanātha Body and transformed into a huge Buddha that flew towards his destination.

The Supreme Yang True Fire and the Acalanātha Body complemented each other. He was like a true Acalanātha Body that shone brightly.

The Buddhist light that filled the sky illuminated the Jade City. When the believers on the ground saw this, they knelt down and bowed, thinking that some Buddhist monk was passing by. Their expressions were extremely pious.

THUD!

The melodious sound of the bell reverberated, and a monk who was also emitting Buddhist light flew out.

He wore a purple-gold kasaya and looked like a middle-aged man. His earlobes were very big, and his muscles and bones were like white jade. It was as if he had cultivated a Bodhisattva’s jade body. There was a circle of Buddhist light hanging behind his head.

As the abbot of Light Temple, he took the lead and flew out. He cupped his hands and bowed to Song Shi in confusion. “I’m Sheng Hui. May I know which Supreme lord is passing by?”

His cultivation was already at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. Facing Song Shi’s pressure, it was as if he was facing a towering mountain. He could not resist at all.

“This is the Acalanātha Body, who is this?”

He was puzzled and didn’t know who it was. He searched his memories but still couldn’t remember anyone else who had such Buddhist Dharma other than cultivators from the Sand Country.

“The fated one.”

Song Shi said indifferently as he held the Spirit Command Talisman in his hand. “I’ll check if your Dharma is profound.”

He opened his palm and activated the Spirit Command Talisman. At the same time, he closed his hands.

He did not put his palms together. Instead, he released a powerful Nomological power that affected the surrounding space and directly enveloped the monk in front of him, forming a sealing force.

The latter’s body shook as he was drowned by the dazzling Buddhist light, and he seemed as if he’d been frozen on the spot. He could only watch helplessly as a ray of light flew over, and even if he instinctively sensed danger, he was actually unable to avoid it!

“You!”

Sheng Hui wanted to question him, but a light flashed between his brows and he fell into a daze. His soul was being controlled by the Spirit Command Talisman.

Rings of spatial fluctuations appeared between Song Shi’s hands, as if he was trapping the holy brilliance between his palms.

This was the most basic spatial confinement technique of the Void Sutra. In fact, it froze space from afar, giving the other party no chance to struggle.

Compared to when Sheng Ming struggled for a while, this person did not last long at all. As his eyes lit up, he was controlled by Song Shi.

“It seems that your Buddhist Dharma is still insufficient. Study it well with me then.”

Song Shi said calmly.

Sheng Hui could only reply bitterly, “Yes, Venerable One.”
