Chapter 16 Mani Pearl

"grown ups……"

On the way to the Imperial Prison, Su Yunsheng hesitated and said, "Yan Shaoting is... Prime Minister Yan's grandson..."

"I know."

Cao Jinxing didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry about him. To snatch medicine from me is to slap Eunuch Lu in the face. He won't do such a thing. Besides, the Yan family doesn't lack such things. This is probably the idea of that idiot Liu Sanjin."

"yes."

Seeing that he knew what was going on, the two of them felt relieved.

The three of them rushed to the imperial prison, and the captain guarding the prison opened the door and let them in. Just as they were about to go in, Cao Jinxing suddenly remembered something: "Yunsheng."

Su Yunsheng: "Sir."

Cao Jinxing: "I want all the information about the Bone-Dissolving Palm, including the treatment method. Go to the archives and get it for me."

Su Yunsheng nodded respectfully: "Please wait a moment, sir."

He left quickly.

Cao Jinxing took Sun Lang to prison.

The Northern Pacification Prison is known as the best prison in the world!

The four stone walls, the stone ground and the stone slabs on the top are all paved with the same granite.

The prison is ten feet deep and there is no sunlight all year round. Even if people are not tortured, they will inevitably become weak and suffer from various diseases after a long time.

The jailer, holding a lantern, led Cao Jinxing and Sun Lang into the depths of the dark prison, where they saw the "survivor", who was now covered in wounds and dying.

Another jailer brought a chair, and Cao Jinxing sat down casually, facing the man.

"What was the name of the leader yesterday? What kind of martial arts did he use? How many accomplices did he have? Where might he be hiding..."

Cao Jinxing said directly: "I don't like torture. Just tell me directly, it will save trouble for both of us."

The Hehuan Sect practices the art of collecting and replenishing energy. Everyone inside, regardless of gender, deserves to be put to death!

"My Lord...I already said it yesterday..."

The man was particularly afraid of Cao Jinxing. When he saw him coming, his whole body was shaking.

"Say it again!"

Cao Jinxing looked at him coldly: "Your testimony is good enough to deceive others, but you also want to deceive me. Let me ask you, the Hehuan Sect has been suppressed many times since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Why don't you leave the capital? Why do you have to hide in the capital? What are you doing? What are you looking for? Tell me!"

“…”

The man obviously didn't expect him to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and his eyes avoided.

Cao Jinxing waved.

Sun Lang grinned, walked in and performed a set of "Bone-Splitting Hand Technique" on him.

"ah!!!"

The man screamed in pain, and before he could last more than three moves, he said hastily, "I say, I say... We are looking for the tomb of our ancestor... Jialin Zhenshan..."

"oh?"

Cao Jinxing leaned forward, smiling: "If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences!"

The man shuddered, and the scene of his fellow disciples' heads falling to the ground flashed through his mind. He quickly said, "It's true! I dare not deceive you! Sect Master Yang Gongbu is the descendant of the founder, and has been looking for the founder's tomb to find the [Mantra Pearl]..."

Cao Jinxing listened carefully and gradually sorted out the context.

The founder of the Hehuan Sect was named Jialin Zhenshan, who was originally a Tantric monk who was skilled in the art of sex.

During the reign of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, Jialin Zhenshan catered to his interests and taught him the Tantric dual cultivation technique "Great Joy Zen Method". With this, he gained the position of imperial teacher, founded the Hehuan Sect, brought chaos to the palace, and became notorious!

This kind of opportunistic villain would not have lived long, but he had another fortuitous encounter and by chance, he obtained the Tantric treasure [Mani Pearl] - a treasure made from the true essence of the Venerable "Milarepa"!

Milarepa was a great monk of Tantric Buddhism who had achieved the highest state of enlightenment through the practice of Tumo Samadhi.

The principle of practicing this skill is to transform nature into heat and fire, and transform fire into light and Mani Pearl.

His skills were so high that he could survive fire and at the time of his death, his body dissipated but his true essence remained indestructible and condensed into a precious pearl [Mani Pearl].

This precious pearl contains the wisdom and power of the venerable. Whoever obtains this pearl can obtain "boundless wisdom" and cannot be harmed by poison or invaded by fire.

Jialin Zhenshan took advantage of this to become a master in Tongyou Realm and was very powerful for a time. After his death, the pearl was buried with him.

“…”

Cao Jinxing heard him brag about it, and it turned out to be just a prop that increased comprehension and fire resistance.

Cao Jinxing was unable to absorb the fire-based internal force contained in it, and he didn't need the comprehension to do so. It was only its fire resistance and poison avoidance properties that gave him some ideas.

Cao Jinxing: "You helped Emperor Mingzong with the plan, which should also be related to this bead."

That person: "Yes... The Saintess of Mingzong seems to know the location of the cemetery, and the Sect Master has reached an agreement with her..."

"How many disciples are left after yesterday's battle?"

"Half... After we set off, Sect Leader Yang Gongbu will take Right Protector Ren Lingjiao and the other half of the disciples to retrieve the treasure..."

"Who led the team yesterday?"

"Left Protector Lou Zizhen."

"oh……"

Cao Jinxing stretched out his voice and nodded with satisfaction. Just when the man was relieved, Cao Jinxing said, "Kill him. It's a waste of prison food."

He got up and left.

Sun Lang smiled.

The man panicked and yelled, "Sir! Sir—Snap!"

Sun Lang threw the body on the ground and followed him, not forgetting to tell the jailer:

"Pick it up."

"yes."

The two men were released from prison.

Su Yunsheng just happened to be running back from the document library with the information he had been looking up.

"Sir, everything has been checked."

Su Yunsheng handed over a piece of paper with densely written small words on it.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Cao Jinxing took it and glanced at it.

"Bone-Dissolving Palm" is a fifth-grade intermediate spiritual weapon, which was first created by the martial arts master "Bone-Dissolving Immortal". The palm power is vicious and terrifying, and very difficult to practice. Once practiced, the bones of the person hit by the palm will become as soft as cotton, and eventually turn into blood and die. This palm power is incurable and can only be delayed by the sixth-grade spiritual material "Maple Sleeping Grass".

Su Yunsheng roughly guessed what he meant, and added the characteristics and sketch of maple grass at the bottom of the drawing.

Cao Jinxing nodded: "Well done."

"grown ups."

Su Yunsheng said: "It seems useless even if we know where the maple-mian grass is, unless we keep an eye on it in every medicine store. But a day has passed, and I'm afraid they have already bought all of them. If we look for it now, I'm afraid..."

Cao Jinxing shook his head and said, "That's too stupid. I have a faster way. Fourteen."

He called out softly, and Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang were wondering when they suddenly saw something popping out of the leather bag around the adult's waist.

Immediately afterwards, a petite snow-white lion cat appeared on his shoulder, rubbing its head against his neck and making purring sounds with its mouth.

The lion cat is a tribute cat from the Ming Dynasty. The current emperor has one named Shuangmei. As the emperor follows suit, the others follow his example. Although the two of them don't have one, they know each other.

But the one in front of him is completely different from ordinary lion cats. It is small and agile, with bright eyes and full of wisdom.

——More like an alien beast!

Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang looked at each other. He even had strange beasts. This adult was really a hidden talent.

"Fourteen, I remember this kind of grass. There seemed to be one or two in the pile you ate yesterday. Take a look and see if you still remember it."

Cao Jinxing showed the blueprint to Fourteen .

Fourteen looked at the picture and tilted his head in thought.

"It's okay if you can't remember. I'll ask someone to buy one. Zhang Chengfeng should have some in stock..." Before he could finish his words, Fourteen's eyes lit up, he remembered, and nodded repeatedly.

"Meow meow!"

"Good boy."

Cao Jinxing smiled and touched its head: "Do you still remember the smell? Help me find the place where the smell of this grass is the strongest!"

Xuanyuan Shisi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and moved his nose as he carefully distinguished the various smells in the air.

One of its innate abilities is treasure hunting, and it is very sensitive to the scent of various spiritual materials and treasures.

The harvest came soon.

"Meow~"

Xuanyuan Shisi opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he looked towards the southwest, leaped out, and turned into a white lightning.

Cao Jinxing's "Lightning Steps" followed closely behind.

It’s hard for Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang.

"Sir, wait! I can't keep up!"

They both felt like crying but had no tears.
