The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!
Chapter 1382 - 839: Free Legendary Equipment! (2)
In the cemetery, there are only the dead or offerings for the dead, and it’s rare to have a meal for the living, especially a meal as exquisite as this.
Seeing that the tomb guardian hadn’t returned, he gestured at Liu Zheng with a nod of his chin, then motioned towards his own bag with a nod of his mouth.
"Brother Ma, are you asking me to rummage through your bag?"
Liu Zheng asked.
The Skinny Horse nodded.
"This isn’t right, if the tomb guardian finds out, you’ll end up being planted in the ground again."
He said.
"Neigh!"
The Skinny Horse snorted impatiently.
Meaning it wasn’t afraid, so why should Liu Zheng be?
"Alright then."
Liu Zheng did not hesitate further, reached into the bag, and randomly pulled out an item.
It was something like a bowl, slightly larger than his palm, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with an irregular shape. The edges were chipped, and the bowl’s bottom didn’t have the usual base, looking neither sturdy nor stable.
"What kind of thing is this?"
He was puzzled.
"Gaba!"
The next second, a roar answered him.
"Gaba!"
At the second shout, a flood of knowledge surged into Liu Zheng’s mind.
Gaba, a magic artifact made from a human skull, represents the "body, speech, and mind" of the secret trio, symbolizing wisdom.
"Gaba!"
At the third shout, many images flashed before his eyes.
Typically, a Gaba must be crafted from the remains of a lama or a high monk with great virtue, according to their will before death.
Yet the Gaba bowls offered before Buddha and Bodhisattva are countless, even if one in ten monks became a high monk, it would not suffice.
Those lowly Langsheng, Tawa, Cai Yue, being offered before Buddha, may be reborn into a rich family in their next life.
"Gaba!"
At the fourth shout, vein patterns flowed like lava, and the Extreme Fury Asura automatically activated its four-arm mode.
The Eternal Purgatory Shura Great Dharma Wheel began to turn slowly, a strand of Extreme Fury Fire shot out from the center of the Dharma Wheel, aiming to burn up the Gaba bowl.
"Om! Beixia Wanya! Suoha!"
Sensing boundless malice, a chant emanated from the Gaba bowl.
An eight-petaled lotus appeared inside the bowl, with each petal containing a fresh and glowing spell.
As the chanting continued, the Extreme Fury Asura grew even more angry.
It raised its four arms holding the Dharma Wheel, which spun faster and faster, the Extreme Fury Fire transformed from a strand to a stream.
Soon, the Extreme Fury Fire pierced through the divine light, reaching the body of the Gaba bowl, which instantly charred what was previously as clear as yellow jade.
"Buddha’s enemy!"
A voice of furious indignation came from the Gaba bowl, and the chanting grew louder, as if hundreds or thousands of monks were sincerely reciting.
"Om! Beixia Wanya! Suoha!"
Under the pressure of the Extreme Fury Fire, the Gaba bowl no longer hid its divine nature, revealing its grand and dignified true form.
The whole bowl was encased in gold, with the outer wall inlaid with eighteen differently colored gems, and the inner wall inlaid with nine Mani Pearls.
"Vishamantian!"
The Extreme Fury Asura called out the deity enshrined within the Gaba bowl.
Vishamantian, also known as the Treasure King, Northern Multifarious Heavenly King, although just one protector of the Buddhist Sect, is highly revered due to his special duties, surpassing many Bodhisattvas in standing.
As his identity was revealed, the image of the Treasure King appeared within the Gaba bowl.
He was clad in armor, holding a Wisdom Umbrella in his right hand, and grasping a Treasure Rat in his left, adorned all over with countless jewels, exuding an aura of immeasurable wealth.
The Treasure King opened the Wisdom Umbrella, and as the golden light spread, it pushed the Extreme Fury Fire out of the bowl.
Not only that, but the Extreme Fury Fire also sprouted patterns of Copper Coins and ingots, turning the once fierce and untamed fury into something vulgar and contemptible.
"Vishamantian!"
Seeing that the adversary even attempted to corrupt it, the Extreme Fury Asura grew more furious.
The Dharma Wheel turned into a burst of flames, merging into its body, transforming into two glowing arms growing from beneath its armpits.
With the other four hands interlacing to support the Gaba bowl, as if performing a sincere offering.
Yet those two glowing arms lifted high, then smashed down toward the Gaba bowl.
All beings offer sacrifices to the Treasure King to seek wealth, yet the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
Only the temple’s storage room grows bigger and bigger, and only the gems on the Gaba Bowl in the lama’s hand increase in number.
The unprecedented six-arm mode rapidly drains Liu Zheng’s stamina reserves, and his once robust body turns gaunt in an instant.
However, the momentum of the Extreme Fury Asura rises even higher, to the point where even the Skinny Horse glances sideways at it.
Seeing that its well-intentioned plan might go awry, the Skinny Horse hesitates for a moment and raises its hoof.
Though this might harm Liu Zheng, it’s better than him being drained by his own artificial body.
"Do not help."
The Tomb Guardian appears beside it without anyone noticing.
The Skinny Horse is taken aback, immediately crouching down and showing a flattering smile.
"Begging won’t work; I’ll deal with you later."
The Tomb Guardian said coolly.
The Skinny Horse stood up dejectedly, then rubbed its large head against the Tomb Guardian’s face.
"Creating such a commotion, it’s impossible to walk away scot-free; let’s see his luck."
The Tomb Guardian shook his head.
In the dead cemetery, such a lively fire certainly attracts attention, anything that’s still awake has likely come to see, even he shouldn’t show too much favoritism.
"Buzz! Beixia Wanya! Suoha!"
The Treasure King, sensing something wrong, released the Treasure Rat from his hand, which flew towards Liu Zheng’s head.
The Extreme Fury Asura tried to catch the Treasure Rat but was deftly dodged by the latter, who then spat a beam of treasure light into Liu Zheng’s eyes.
"If a person desires great wisdom, they should pray to Vishamantian. If a person desires a king’s great love, they should pray to Vishamantian. If a person desires the queen, concubines, and noblewomen to love them greatly, they should pray to Vishamantian..."
Countless monks in red and yellow robes appeared in Liu Zheng’s mind, some holding gold and silver treasures, some leading handsome men and beautiful women, some lifting heavenly treasures, and some wielding magic treasures and artifacts...
All sorts, undeniably real, so long as Liu Zheng is willing to accept, the Treasure King’s extraordinary mana on the Gaba Bowl would grant him all he wishes.
"Did you hear that? They promise me everything I could desire, what can you offer me?"
Liu Zheng raised his chin slightly.
Though the Extreme Fury Asura severed his control over the body, it did not and could not sever the spiritual connection between them.
Of course, it was simply impossible.
"Vishamantian!"
The Extreme Fury Asura roared back.
Everything it had was devoted to the Buddha and the Master; all it owned was this body and its unquenchable anger.
"This body was originally mine anyway. Forget it, you’re lucky."
If it were any other magic artifact, Liu Zheng would have taken it first, even if only to punish the Extreme Fury Asura for acting on its own.
But something like the Gaba Bowl held no interest for him.
Sensing Liu Zheng’s thoughts, the Treasure Rat once again spat a beam of treasure light into his eyes.
This time, a direct item description popped up before him.
"Name: Treasure King’s Nine-Child Superior Gaba Bowl"
"Type: Equipment"
"Quality: Legendary"
"Effect One: Greatly increase the player’s Luck Value when equipped."
"Effect Two: Player is immune to most decreases in Luck Value when equipped."
"Effect Three: Allows the player to randomly obtain one extraordinary item (quality not lower than excellent and not higher than perfect) once per instance or per month. Conducting an offering ritual can improve the effect or shorten the cooldown time."
"Effect Four: Alerts the player when there are unowned treasures nearby."
"Note: The way of mankind is to take from the insufficient to supplement the surplus."
"Can be brought out of the instance: Yes"
"Damn!"
Liu Zheng exclaimed.
An item of legendary quality, and a lucky item at that, each effect is exceptionally powerful.
Especially Effect Three, which not only allows obtaining an excellent quality item for free but can also enhance the effect through rituals, this means he could get one or even two perfect items for free in each instance...
Tsk tsk, couldn’t dare imagine it.
"Sorry, Old Luo."
Liu Zheng apologized to the Extreme Fury Asura.
He originally wanted to cooperate with it, but unfortunately, the offer from the other side was too generous.
