The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 367 - 364: The Ambitious Stone

But suddenly, Monk Qingyu’s pupils contracted, and his greedy face became rigid, motionless.

"Amitabha."

Monk Jun pressed his palms together, and on his hands, a string of colorful Buddha beads glistened, dazzling Monk Qingyu’s eyes as they swayed back and forth.

Behind him, the group of Martial Monks were all shocked.

Their knees trembled, and they fell to the ground with a thud.

"Lord Taichang!"

The colorful Buddha beads are the token of Taichang Temple.

Each new Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship would receive the colored Buddha beads bestowed by the Emperor upon succession.

Seeing the beads was as good as seeing the Minister!

And the Monk Jun before them held the Buddha beads in his hand.

He had effortlessly transcended the Yin Sha that even Monk Qingyu could not transcend.

"Lord Taichang... Lord..."

Monk Qingyu now realized that he had committed a grave sin.

"Qingyu, you have been in the temple for twenty years and are the lead of the Qing generation, destined to promote the Buddhist Law of Taichang and devote yourself to goodness. However, you have harbored greed, using the name of Taichang Temple to exploit the townspeople for years. I, in the name of Taichang Holy Institute, shall administer your punishment. From today on, you are no longer of Taichang Temple, stripped of your status, deprived of your cultivation, never to be a monk again."

The colorful Buddha beads in Monk Jun’s hand emitted a clinking sound, like jade hitting the ground.

Monk Qingyu’s knees gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, closing his eyes, but it was already too late...

Xin Lin had just stepped out of Taichang Temple.

When she heard the stern and serious voice of the Life Book by her ear.

"Congratulations life master, for completing the defy-fate mission one, successfully transcending the Nine Yin Evil and earning one chance to use the Opportunity Dice. Would you like to use it now?"

Xin Lin paused her steps and gave her consent.

It had been quite some time since she used the Opportunity Dice, and she somewhat missed that dice which could game fate itself.

After all, even though the Life Book could be tricky, whatever it produced was always pretty good.

Inside the Opportunity Dice, six was a consolation prize, three was a Dan Wood Furnace, one was the Ultimate Marrow Cleansing Powder, and two from before...

There weren’t many options left.

Xin Lin was calculating which number she should spin for this time.

The Opportunity Dice appeared in her hand, and Xin Lin gave it a glance.

She noticed that the "three" associated with spinning out the Dan Wood Furnace was now unselectable, its dots turned gray.

She wasn’t interested in spinning for the others that remained the same.

Between four and five, which one should she choose?

After looking a few times, her fingers twitched.

The Opportunity Dice started to roll smoothly.

Between "five" and "four," Xin Lin ultimately settled on "four."

There was no particular reason, "four" is a homophone for "fortune" in Chinese, and Xin Lin just wanted a bit of good luck.

"Congratulations life master, you have obtained one Qi Stone."

The Opportunity Dice disappeared, and in its place, Xin Lin now held a small stone.

The stone appeared black and unremarkable, much like the egg-shaped stones found on riverbanks.

"A Qi Stone, what’s this thing about?"

Xin Lin murmured.

She had never encountered a Qi Stone before, but she was familiar with True Qi Pills, having seen them mentioned in Silly Chu’s "Mystical Medicine Book", a Mortal Upper Stage Spiritual Medicine.

Compared to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder, it was a bit more superior, its use being to restore the True Qi inside the body. Xin Lin wasn’t sure what difference this stone had from normal True Qi Pills.

However, since she had begun to practice the Ghost God Fist Second Form, her Fu Xi’s Energy was depleting much faster.

If she could quickly restore the Fu Xi’s Energy, it would indeed be beneficial for her; it would certainly be useful someday.

So, Xin Lin decided to keep the Qi Stone.
