Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 325 The Hidden Dangers of Bodhi Seeds

Ye Fan thought about the Bodhi seed issue that Yuan Changqing had mentioned, and it seemed that there were some hidden dangers that he was unaware of.

"Senior, what exactly is the hidden danger in my Bodhi seed?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.

Yuan Changqing countered, "Speaking of this Bodhi seed, we must mention its original owner. Can you guess who its previous owner was?"

Ye Fan shook his head, glanced at the Bodhi seed in his hand, and said, "I don't know about that, but judging from where I got it, it should have been from a highly virtuous monk who practiced Buddhism!"

Yuan Changqing then asked, "Then let me ask you again, in your understanding, what is the most profound impression that Buddha has left on you, or what is the most obvious characteristic in the books you have read?"

Ye Fan then recalled some descriptions of Buddha he had read in novels on Earth. Aside from being good at deceiving people, they were all about salvation.

Upon thinking of salvation, Ye Fan was immediately startled. Could this be the bad problem Yuan Changqing had mentioned?

Ye Fan quickly asked, "Senior, is it because of the conversion?"

Seeing that Ye Fan had finally gotten to the point, Yuan Changqing shook his head and then nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Fan was a little confused. This was a mix of nodding and shaking his head. Yes or no, just say it clearly.

"Senior, what exactly is the reason?" Yuan Changqing made Ye Fan very curious.

Then Yuan Changqing said, "Although you've hit the nail on the head, it's not quite accurate enough."

"To put it another way, when you are cultivating and using Bodhi seeds to aid your enlightenment, can you sense Buddhist chants or Zen hymns?"

"Also, take a look at the Buddha's head on this Bodhi seed."

Ye Fan looked at the Bodhi seed again and asked, "Is it because of these Buddha images?"

"You could say that. In fact, this Bodhi seed is also a kind of immortal medicine, but after its nirvana, only this one seed remains," Yuan Changqing explained.

"What?! This Bodhi seed is an elixir of immortality!" Ye Fan was immediately surprised, not expecting that the Bodhi seed in his hand was actually an elixir of immortality.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Yes, it is the real elixir of immortality. Otherwise, why do you think it can help people comprehend the Dao and resist the flames in this fire domain?"

Ye Fan thought about it carefully and felt that this was reasonable. After all, he had personally experienced the power of the flames in the Fire Domain during his trip there.

That kind of temperature, capable of burning a person to ashes, would have meant that without the help of Bodhi seeds, it's hard to say when I would have been able to successfully refine my own Myriad Things Profound Yellow.

Yuan Changqing continued, "The previous owner of this Bodhi seed was Shakyamuni, or rather, Amitabha Buddha. The reason why there is a Buddha's image on the Bodhi seed is because there is still a trace of Shakyamuni's will within it, although it is very weak."

"However, even this last bit of will can be affected over time, and may even be unconsciously corrupted over time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was startled and asked, "Could it be that Shakyamuni deliberately left that trace of his will inside, just to guide people?"

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "What you said is unlikely. I think it's more likely that when this Bodhi seed hadn't yet entered Nirvana and was still a Bodhi tree, Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree for a long time, and the Bodhi tree was imbued with Shakyamuni Buddha's will."

Ye Fan thought about it and agreed. This made more sense. Otherwise, the Bodhi seed in his hand wouldn't just contain a faint trace of will; he might have already been converted and was preparing to become a monk.

Ye Fan thought that although this wisp of will was not a big problem now, it might be in trouble in the long run.

So Ye Fan asked again, "Senior, do you have any way to solve the problem of this wisp of will?"

"I do have a solution. It is for a Saint-level expert, wielding an Emperor-level weapon, to resolve the wisp of will within the Bodhi Seed," Yuan Changqing stated directly.

"hiss…"

Upon hearing Yuan Changqing's proposed solution, Ye Fan gasped in astonishment. What kind of solution was this?

Ye Fan felt a pang of pain when he thought about the conditions; the strongest person he had ever met was only at Yuan Changqing's current level.

Of course, aside from the crocodile ancestor seen on Mars, I haven't even seen a Dao-slaying King in the Big Dipper, let alone a Saint.

These are not even the most outrageous things. What's even more outrageous is that it requires the use of an imperial weapon, which is an ultimate imperial artifact, and its quantity is limited.

Ye Fan looked at Yuan Changqing with a hint of relief and asked again, "Senior, is it really necessary to have the strength of a saint and an imperial weapon to solve this? Is there no other way?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "The strength of a sage I mentioned is the lowest possible. Only with such strength, coupled with divine weapons, can the characteristics and activity of the Bodhi seed be preserved."

"As for whether there are other methods, there are, but they take a long time and are somewhat dangerous."

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Senior, what exactly is the method?"

Yuan Changqing looked at Ye Fan and said, "That is to use your own Dao to suppress that trace of will and constantly refine it."

"However, your strength is not yet sufficient, so it's best not to take any risks. You'll be able to do it when your understanding of the Dao becomes stronger."

"After all, although the will within the Bodhi seed is very weak, it is still the will of an Emperor-level expert. Even I dare not compare with it now."

Ye Fan was speechless when he heard this idea; he hadn't expected that both methods would be so difficult.

Yuan Changqing continued, "You don't need to worry too much. As long as your will is strong enough, you won't be affected."

"Furthermore, once I cultivate my strength to the Saint level, if you still haven't solved this problem, I can step in and help you."

Upon hearing Yuan Changqing's words, Ye Fan immediately wondered if Yuan Changqing possessed an Emperor-level weapon. This thought shocked Ye Fan.

"Senior, do you possess an Emperor-level weapon?" Ye Fan asked tentatively.

However, Yuan Changqing did not answer Ye Fan's question, but only smiled without saying a word. Seeing this, Ye Fan became even more certain of his guess.

Moreover, this also made Ye Fan aware of Yuan Changqing's trump card. No wonder he said so many disdainful words about those aristocratic families, holy lands, and major sects when he appeared in the Qingdi Tomb last time in the primitive ruins.

So that's why they had the confidence to say those things—it was because of the existence of the Imperial Weapon.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing said again, "Now that our business here is finished, let's leave first."

Ye Fan snapped out of his reverie, nodded, and said, "Senior, wait a moment. I'll go collect some of the flames here first; we might need them later."

Then, Ye Fan held the Bodhi seed in one hand and the Myriad Things Profound Yellow Cauldron in the other, and began to collect the flames. As expected of Ye Heizi, this was probably preparation for his future schemes.

However, thinking about it, it makes sense. According to Ye Fan's development trajectory, he will have more and more enemies in the future. Having more trump cards in hand now will reduce the danger.

"Senior, let's go!" Ye Fan said to Yuan Changqing after collecting the flames.

Yuan Changqing found that Ye Fan currently had no magical artifacts to fight against except for the Myriad Things Profound Yellow Cauldron, so he took out the powerful bronze bell that he had obtained for the first time on Earth.

"This bronze bell is a powerful magical artifact. Since it's inconvenient for you to use your Myriad Things Profound Yellow Cauldron, you can use it for self-defense." Yuan Changqing handed the bronze bell to Ye Fan.

Yuan Changqing obtained many treasures in the Kunlun Divine Soil on Earth, so this bronze bell is no longer of much use. It is just right to hand it over to Ye Fan now.

Upon hearing that it was a powerful magic artifact, Ye Fan was overjoyed. This was the first high-level magic artifact he could possess.

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, senior," Ye Fan said with a happy expression.

Ye Fan was no longer surprised by Yuan Changqing giving him gifts. Since he was still weak and needed these things, he wasn't embarrassed at all.

As for repaying the debt, that can only be discussed when I am able to do so in the future; for now, I will leave it to you.

"Your strength is not yet strong enough, so you still need to be careful when using it, as it consumes a lot of divine power," Yuan Changqing reminded him again.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Okay, senior, I've got it."

"Let's leave here now."

...

When Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan arrived outside the Fire Domain, they found many members of the Ji family guarding the area. It seemed that Ji Hui's death had led the Ji family to suspect that Ye Fan might have come to the Fire Domain to refine weapons.

"Senior, there are quite a few Ji family members outside. They're determined to kill me." Ye Fan also spotted the Ji family members and said angrily.

"It's alright. These little shrimps are no match for me. We don't need to bother with them. You can deal with them yourself later." Yuan Changqing didn't intend to deal with the Ji family members who came to the outside of the Fire Domain. He planned to leave it to Ye Fan to deal with later.

Moreover, Yuan Changqing had no interest in dealing with these people; it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut if he were to do it himself.

Ye Fan then said, "Senior, I'll go and take care of them now."

"No need, let's just leave quietly and let them wait here. Since they're willing to wait, we can't just not give them a chance, otherwise, we'd be too unfair." Yuan Changqing immediately thought of dealing with the Ji family when Ye Fan was about to make a move.

"Hehe, senior's idea is good. Seeing how arrogant they are, let them wait here." Ye Fan said with a sinister smile. This idea suited him very well.

So Yuan Changqing immediately took Ye Fan and left the Fire Domain without the Ji family noticing.
