I pushed open the door to the Buddhist Artifact Shop and scanned the interior, quickly spotting some familiar figures inside.
I discreetly tucked away the talisman in my hand and asked curiously, "Jin Yuan, Yu Yuanhang, what are you doing here?"
Jin Yuan stood up with a hint of annoyance, glaring at me as she said, "Hey, hey, Jiang Ling, this is our manager's territory. What kind of question is that?"
"Haha, Jin Yuan, my bad! Let's not get caught up in the details," I replied awkwardly, scratching my ear in embarrassment before walking over to Yu Yuanhang.
As I sat beside Yu Yuanhang, I suddenly caught a whiff of a strange scent. My brows furrowed as I tried to identify it, but just as quickly as it appeared, the smell vanished.
I turned to Yu Yuanhang with confusion and asked uncertainly, "Manager, why do you have a trace of demonic energy on you?"
Although the scent had disappeared swiftly, I had pinpointed its source—it was emanating from Yu Yuanhang. In my mind, I speculated that it was indeed demonic energy.
"Oh, you actually noticed the demonic energy on me!" Yu Yuanhang said with surprise. He turned to look at me, and for a brief moment, a glint flashed in his eyes behind his sunglasses, though I didn't catch it.
Yu Yuanhang's expression quickly returned to normal. He leisurely picked up a cup from the table and took a sip of water before speaking again. "Earlier, I encountered an old demon and had a fight with it. We ended up in a stalemate, and it left some Blood Demon marks on me. The wounds still carry some demonic energy."
"I see," I nodded. While I didn't fully believe Yu Yuanhang's explanation, I decided not to press further.
Setting down his cup, Yu Yuanhang looked at me seriously and said, "Jiang Ling, I brought you here to practice Buddhism. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to guide you. I'm curious how your Buddhism practice is coming along."
I replied honestly, "I've already condensed my own Buddhist Manifestation; my Buddhist Power has reached the level of a Diamond Arhat."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanhang immediately stood up from his seat in disbelief and asked incredulously, "What? You really have cultivated your Buddhism to the level of a Diamond Arhat? How could it progress so quickly?"
"Manager, you can see for yourself," I nodded and secretly summoned the Buddhist Power within me, bringing forth the Buddhist Manifestation from my Dantian. Due to the limited space in the Buddhist Artifact Shop, I could only summon the upper half of the Buddhist Manifestation.
"This is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Buddha Manifestation, how is this possible!" Yu Yuanhang instantly recognized the origin of the Buddha Manifestation behind me. His expression turned serious, and his gaze shifted towards me, now tinged with fear.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Buddha Manifestation is a top-tier manifestation that only appears in the presence of those with a strong connection to the Buddha, and I am one of them.
Although Yu Yuanhang's eyes were fixed on the Buddhist Manifestation behind me, his thoughts were elsewhere. He silently mused, "No wonder Forgetful Sea Monk was so at ease letting me take Jiang Ling out; it seems I've underestimated him. Just now, he almost uncovered my Demon Form. If his Buddhism advances further, it will be difficult for me to hide. This is a bit troublesome."
"I can't go back to that dilapidated temple; life there is unbearable. No, I need to find a way to deal with Jiang Ling. If I get the chance, even if it means killing him, I have to try." As he thought this, a glint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Yuanhang's eyes, and an aura of Killing Intent unconsciously rose around him.
I noticed Yu Yuanhang staring blankly ahead and sensed something was off with him. I quickly called out, "Manager, what are you thinking about?"
"Amitabha, good, good!" Yu Yuanhang snapped back to reality after my call. He clasped his hands together and recited a few verses from the Sutra to quell his murderous thoughts. Just moments ago, he had nearly succumbed to the evil temptations within him and fallen into the Evil Path.
Once Yu Yuanhang regained his composure, he looked at me and said, "Jiang Ling, you just saved your own life."
Hearing Yu Yuanhang's words left me confused. I touched my ear and asked curiously, "Uh, Manager, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Yu Yuanhang shook his head without answering. Instead, he channeled his Buddhist Power, and a Golden Buddha Light radiated from him. He beckoned me over and said, "Jiang Ling, use your strongest Buddhist Spell on me; let me see how strong you really are."
Excitement surged within me. My Buddhist Power had just increased but wasn't fully stabilized yet; I wasn't sure how strong I truly was. Now that Yu Yuanhang wanted to test my abilities, I couldn't have asked for more.
"Manager, just so you know, I won't hold back," I replied earnestly. Then I gathered all my Buddhist Power into my right palm while controlling the Buddhist Manifestation behind me. Chanting aloud, I declared: "Great Sun Tathagata, Western Paradise. Delivering sentient beings and aiding others—Buddha's Palm to Eliminate Evil! Great Sun Tathagata Palm—break!"
As soon as my words fell, the right hand of the Buddhist Manifestation behind me emitted a blinding golden light. Numerous delicate Buddhist Sanskrit characters entwined around its hand, creating an aura of sanctity that felt inviolable.
"Manager, are you ready to take it?" I paused for a moment, deliberately slowing down my attack, worried that Yu Yuanhang might get hurt.
"Jiang Ling, go ahead!" Yu Yuanhang's expression turned serious after seeing my Buddhist Spell. He summoned a golden shield to protect his body.
I nodded, raised my right hand, and struck towards Yu Yuanhang in front of me.
A loud rumble echoed throughout the Buddhist Artifact Shop, raising a cloud of dust. The entire shop shook, and the glass in the room shattered, scattering everywhere.
Jin Yuan saw the chaos in the shop and her face turned pale. She rushed to my side and gave me a hard knock on the head, shouting, "Jiang Ling, are you crazy? Do you want to tear down the shop?"
"Uh, I didn't mean to. Besides, it was the manager who told me to strike!" I rubbed my sore head and quickly retracted my Buddhist Manifestation as Jin Yuan pushed me out of the Buddhist Artifact Shop.
After pushing me out, Jin Yuan's expression shifted to one of concern. She hurried over to where Yu Yuanhang had been standing and called out, "Manager, are you okay?"
Yu Yuanhang got up from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Weakly, he said, "Cough cough, I'm fine; I'm not dead yet. However, I didn't expect Jiang Ling's Buddhist Spell to be this powerful!"
