Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 977 - 627: Tao Qian Secretly Cultivates Joyful Zen, Golden Cicada Overawes the Yin Yang Elder

Just as he hesitated for a moment upon receiving the soup pot, the Record Type in his mind erupted:

[Name: Great Vow Eight Treasures Soup.]

[Record Type: alien.]

[Record: Golden Cicada mentioned that this was obtained from unintentionally reading the Buddhist Scripture, but in reality, the soup he observed was the "Original Great Precepts Soup". On this basis, after witnessing the Six Demons Sky Covering Technique, Golden Cicada instantly realized the Great Vow Eight Treasures Soup, whose effectiveness surpasses the Great Precepts Soup. Not only can it dispel various impurities and evil filth, but also lead people towards goodness. The appearance of this soup in the world sufficiently proves Golden Cicada's deep cultivation in Buddhist Law, nearing the realm of the Merit Buddha.]

[Note 1: Besides the aforementioned efficacy, drinking this soup can also increase one's Taoist power by one to two percent, and extend life by a full eight hundred years, at the cost of losing all Annoyance Hair on one's head.]

[Note 2: After drinking, one will also partly acquire the "Six Evil Powers" from Emperor Wa, which can block the six senses of all living beings. However, to unleash it, one must cultivate Buddha's Divine Power.]

[Note 3: Because the soup contains Golden Cicada's Buddha's Blood, plus the Merit Buddha Flame, drinking it will purify the Heart Soul, while automatically granting a Buddha's Divine Power "Eight Treasures Buddha Flame". But the cost is developing an extraordinary liking, reverence, and wish to follow Golden Cicada.]

[Note 4: If consumed with the Demon Child Body, one can only exempt part of the cost!]

...

The detailed records floated past, with contents not at all unexpected by Tao Qian.

From Golden Cicada specifically sending the Golden Winged Great Peng to deliver the soup, it could be guessed that this extremely delicious and fragrant meat soup must have something added to it.

Unfortunately, he was in no position to refuse.

Earlier, to convince Golden Cicada, he had vividly portrayed a "Secret Demon Child" with a hidden heart inclined towards Buddhism.

Now to decline would seem unwarranted.

Especially at this moment, the afflicted Golden Winged Great Peng in front showed no intention of instantly returning to Golden Cicada's side, but rather stared at Tao Qian with a look of eagerness.

And directly urged in his mouth:

"Daoist!"

"Drink it quickly while it's hot; although the Golden Soup can remain warm for a hundred and eighty years, much of its aroma will be lost."

"Quickly drink it, so I can go back and report."

"Why hesitate over such a good thing, could it be that you have..."

While urging, the Golden Winged Great Peng saw Tao Qian internally calling for backup from his true self.

"Quick, quick, quick, lend me the Wisdom Root Buddha Heart once more, Golden Cicada has returned unexpectedly."

"He even used your most shameless trick; you often added ingredients to elixirs, but this guy adds them to meat soup, the Spiritual Effect also crushes your useless Demon Pills, a loss after loss."

The Demon Child did not clamor for too long, as Wisdom Root suddenly sprouted in the originally demonic Heart Soul, and the Buddha Heart descended.

The final Record in his mind promptly changed: [By using "Future Buddha Heart" to consume Eight Treasures Golden Soup, all costs can be exempted.]

At the same time, a comment from his true self also followed.

"Golden Cicada is the Second Disciple of Buddha Venerable, his seniority is not much different from my Master Lord Duobao, his cultivation years far outstrip mine, a loss is a loss."

"But this time it seems he's really deceived too much, Golden Cicada clearly treats you as a disciple now."

"The brewing of this pool of meat soup looks easy, but actually took him a lot of Buddha's Blood. Upon arrival, it wasn't forgotten to give you a pot."

"Hmm? It's also an opportunity, though your Demon Child methods are many, now that the strong people are numerous, gods and demons appearing, slightest exposure would risk annihilation."

"With Golden Cicada as cover, you can feign submission, borrow the tiger's cover of All Heavens Buddhism, cultivate secretly to boost strength... To completely win his trust, you might be able to use methods like this, I will bestow upon you the Joy, Yin Yang Technique I knew earlier, you refine the Buddhist mastery on that [Joyful Buddha Robe]."

"Joyful Zen doesn't fit mainstream Buddhist sects; it suits your current temperament and appearance. If I'm correct, seeing your innate talent, Golden Cicada surely has more benefits for you, even as a Destined Merit Buddha, he's afraid of a good disciple straying into the path of Joyful Zen..."

"Marvelous!"

"In cunning and shamelessness, truly none surpass the true self you."

...

Great Demon Tao, while bantering with the true self in the Heart Soul, smiled and said to the Golden Winged Great Peng in front:

"Golden Wing Brother, don't be hasty. I am still a Secret Demon Child; the Eight Treasures Golden Soup is rather hot and burns the mouth."

"Allow me first to blow it, work my lips and tongue a bit."

While laughing and joking, Tao Buddha's son mimicked blowing on the Golden Soup.

Soon, without hesitation, he raised his head and guzzled several mouthfuls like a cow drink, finishing it cleanly.

Seeing this, the sharp Buddha Light burst from the eyes of the Golden Winged Great Peng, fixed on Tao Qian.

His task of delivering the soup included supervising this Secret Demon Child drink it dry, and watch for subsequent reactions:

"If this Secret Demon Child is a Natural Buddha Son, drinking this soup would be highly beneficial."

"If the Heart Root is still that of a Demon Child, previously was mere deception using Secret Demon Method, drinking the Golden Soup must reveal the true form."

The Golden Winged Great Peng thought fervently.

Suddenly, his pair of Vajra Eyes saw a burst of Buddha Light, nearly blinding him.

At once, no more doubts remained.

Especially as he then saw Tao Buddha's son with a face of honesty, even instinctively pressing palms together in a Buddha gesture, chanting the Buddha name:

"This Eight Treasures Golden Soup truly is incomparably delicious, unmatched in the world, its Spiritual Effect also quite extraordinary, hope you thank Buddha's son for me after returning, I've received it gratefully."

"Of course, of course!"

"No need for formalities, after a hundred years, perhaps both of us could enter the Buddha, share the Treasure Hall together."

After speaking, the Great Man whose smile nearly reached his ears suddenly spread wings, vanished amidst flashing Golden Light from the Liang Country, straight away pursuing Golden Cicada.
