Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1157 - 908~909: Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom! The Mysterious Madman
Jiang Dali racked his brains but couldn’t figure out what Buddhist artifacts could be hidden in West Lake that made the Heavenly Monk think he could subdue him.
Curiosity drove him to really want to take a look.
But reason and intelligence told him that doing so was dangerous and foolish, an act of courting disaster knowing full well the mountain hosts a tiger. If by the end he could retreat unscathed, all would be fine, but if he fell into trouble, it would be a pure joke.
However, at this moment he didn’t have time to ponder whether to go or not, because a few bold players in the courtyard were so daring as to try and take his spoils and the Fire Qilin Sword.
One player just touched the Fire Qilin Sword, and was instantly struck by the strong evil energy and fiery Sword Qi naturally emanating from it, being killed on the spot and turning into white light to vanish.
The players had never seen such a bizarre and special situation, all were startled but then delighted, becoming more interested in the Fire Qilin Sword.
However, before these bold players could fight over it, Jiang Dali stepped forward, with a palm strike directly slapping two of them dead, while the remaining small, lean one was sent flying by the strong wind, hitting the ground, dazed and with his blood bar reduced to a sliver.
This player stiffly raised the wooden box in his hand on the ground, shouting venomously at Jiang Dali, "Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you’re the Black Wind Village Chief, look what’s in my hand? Isn’t this the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom you’ve been wanting all along? If you dare kill me, I’ll..."
"Dare you tear up the ticket?"
Jiang Dali raised his hand to grasp, with a Dragon Capturing Hand directly grabbing the player and the wooden box, they were shaken to death mid-air by the Qi Force of the Dragon Capturing Hand, with a pile of miscellaneous items clinking to the ground, leaving only the wooden box plopping into Jiang Dali’s hand.
Tie Kuangtu immediately came over, watching Jiang Dali open the wooden box, he said, "Back then, we obtained this Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom from a mysterious person, and since none of us had seen it before, we couldn’t be sure if it was genuine.
However, that mysterious person’s martial arts were truly astonishing, and even with just preliminary probing, we three were not confident of being his match, so we felt this expert wouldn’t aimlessly send us anything, and the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom inside this box must be real..."
"An expert? Even with the three of you joining forces, you weren’t confident of being a match for this expert?"
Jiang Dali squinted slightly, studying the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom lying quietly inside the wooden box in his hand, which looked like a broad bean, exuding a peculiar fragrance.
He saw that although the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom resembled a broad bean, it was completely jade white, with a surface shrouded in a faint mist-like aura and aroma, which made one feel wholly comfortable after one whiff, but the mind began to feel slightly dizzy, like the aftertaste of a sip of strong alcohol.
"You have obtained the rare treasure [Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom]!"
"[Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom]
Level: Grade 3 Rare Treasure
Effect: Locks Three Elements: After consumption, even the heaviest injuries will not deteriorate, but the consumer will fall into permanent slumber, and during sleep, the injuries will gradually heal, but only after someone finds a second Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom and feeds it to them, can they awaken.
Description: 1: The Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom is a peculiar fruit. It bears fruit every thirty years, and only one at a time. Moreover, the Heavenly Fragrance Tree that produces this fruit will wither and die after bearing fruit, making it exceedingly difficult to find a second.
In the past, the small country of Tianxiang expended all its resources to find the Heavenly Fragrance Tree, and after a century of searching, accumulated three Heavenly Fragrant Cardamoms capable of reviving the dead, which they offered to Ming Country.
The previous emperor of Ming gifted one to the Iron Gall Divine Hou, another to the Empress Dowager of Ming, while the third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom is nowhere mentioned in the records.
But since the previous emperor gave both cardamoms to his closest people, the third recipient of the emperor’s favor should be his most cherished Consort Shu, but since she has already died, the third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom’s whereabouts became a mystery, and this one is suspected to be the third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom...
2: It is rumored in Tianxiang Country that a new Heavenly Fragrance Tree will only grow somewhere in the world after the previous one dies.
Legend has it that this is because the Heavenly Fragrance Tree was once Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and Chang’e reincarnated, who fell in love and were punished by the Jade Emperor to become two Heavenly Fragrance Trees, causing them to grow at different times at opposite ends of the world. When one dies, the other will emerge in a different place, forever separated, never meeting, resembling "when I was born, you were not, when you were born, I was already old."
The Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom produced every thirty years by the heavenly fragrance tree is whimsically imagined by the world as the spiritual offspring born from the long yearning of Tianpeng and Chang’e, implying that the moon above the sea is the moon in the sky, and the person in front of you is the person in your heart. Even though they are separated by distance and a cycle of reincarnation, the spiritual love disregards the barriers of time and space, remaining indelible and unextinguished, capable of birthing a crystallization of love."
Having finished reading the information about the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, Jiang Dali naturally confirmed that the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom in his hand was likely genuine, possibly the long-lost third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.
However, he hadn’t expected such a poignant mythical tale surrounding the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.
Despite not taking the myth seriously, Jiang Dali could discern the rarity of the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, as evidenced by the fact that there were only two trees in the world, and they grew at different times in different locations, with one dying before the other grew elsewhere.
This kind of extraordinary tree bearing such fruits explains why Zhu Wushi had searched for so many years without finding a second Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom. It remains unknown how Tianxiang Country managed to find three Heavenly Fragrant Cardamoms in the past...
