Chapter 184: Special Effect: Formless True Self

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Brother Lin, I’ve come to you this time to thank you and treat you to a drink!”

...

“Why? Did you earn a lot?”

“Not much, not much. I barely made a profit.”

Zhen Youqian’s eyes were squeezed into two slits on his round face. “It’s all thanks to Brother Lin that my business can survive. I remember that Brother Lin said last time that you wanted to break the second-grade Spirit Marrows in your hands and exchange them for some lower-grade ones?”

A glint flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes.

More than 20 days ago, Zhen Youqian found Lin Yan and said that he wanted to buy a shop in the inner city to sell some specialties he had brought from his hometown. They were mainly for the genius seeds in these 400 cities.

However, he was unfamiliar with the place and hoped that Lin Yan could help.

As the patrol guard commander, Lin Yan naturally helped without much effort.

Of course, Lin Yan had his own selfish motives for helping.

The prices of goods in the various lower cities were not uniform, and the value of gold and silver was completely different. There were even a few cities that did not use gold and silver as currency.

Lin Yan specially asked Zhen Youqian and only agreed to help him after knowing that he was prepared to use Spirit Coins as currency.

His goal was naturally to exchange the second-grade Spirit Marrows for the smaller Spirit Marrows.

Zhen Youqian took out a small bag and handed it over. “Brother Lin, take a look. There’s so much. Is it enough?”

Lin Yan took it and saw that there were actually forty to fifty first-grade and ungraded Spirit Marrows lying inside.

“That many? Your business is not small!”

The purchasing power of the Spirit Marrow was not low.

“It’s all because of my classmates’ good care, especially those arrogant fellows from the gold and silver cities. They don’t have any concept of money. When they encounter something they like, they will pay for it. 99% of the Spirit Marrows were earned from them.”

Lin Yan did not comment. He reached in and counted the numbers and grades. According to the value, he took out four second-grade Spirit Marrows and handed them to Zhen Youqian.

How can I do that…”

As he spoke, Zhen Youqian reached out with a smile, took the Spirit Marrows, and examined them carefully.

Lin Yan said calmly, “You don’t trust me?”

“Brother Lin, you’re joking. Spirit Marrow isn’t so easy to fake. I’m just amazed. Brother Lin is extraordinary. Second-grade Spirit Marrow is rare anywhere, especially in Ding’an City.

“You actually took out four at once. You’re much more generous than those guys from the gold and silver cities!”

A thought suddenly flashed across Lin Yan’s mind. His expression suddenly changed and he revealed a meaningful smile. “Do you think there’s a problem with the origin of my Spirit Marrows?”

Zhen Youqian was at a loss. “Brother Lin, why are you joking again?”

The corners of Lin Yan’s mouth curled up. He took a step forward and leaned towards Zhen Youqian mysteriously. He said in a low voice, “There’s indeed something wrong with the origin of the Spirit Marrows!”

Zhen Youqian’s expression changed slightly.

“Remember, no matter who asks, you have to pretend that you don’t know about this deal. Otherwise… the consequences will be terrible!”

Zhen Youqian forced a smile and said, “Brother Lin, you’re really funny. Who would ask these questions?”

“There are many, such as Lord Liu Lanqing, and Teacher Ling…”

Zhen Youqian’s breathing suddenly intertwined with ice and fire. F*ck!

Could it be that Lin Yan stole those Spirit Marrows from the public treasury?!

F*ck! I’ve been tricked!

Is this guy f*cking laundering money?!

His hand that was holding the four second-grade Spirit Marrows immediately trembled, and he wished he could quickly push them back.

As he looked at Lin Yan, his forehead began to be covered in bean-sized sweat.

After a while, Lin Yan smiled faintly. “Hehe, you really believed it?”

“What?” Zhen Youqian choked.

“I’m just kidding.”

“Kidding? Brother Lin, you really scared me to death! I thought you, I thought you…”

He looked at Lin Yan’s calm face, but his voice subconsciously lowered.

Lin Yan smiled faintly and said, “Don’t be nervous. There’s no problem with the origin of the Spirit Marrows. However, it’s best if you don’t mention it to anyone. I have no problem, but I’m afraid you…”

Lin Yan reached out and patted Zhen Youqian’s shoulder. “Remember! Let’s go!”

With that, he turned around and left.

Zhen Youqian wanted to cry but had no tears. Then, he quickly hid the Spirit Marrows in his pocket.

Damn it, there must be really something wrong with those Spirit Marrows!

After scaring Zhen Youqian, Lin Yan turned around and returned to his room.

It was not something shameful to exchange for the smaller Spirit Marrows.

However, there were not many places in Ding’an City where one could spend Spirit Marrow. Who would exchange the large Spirit Marrows that were easy to carry for smaller ones?

Therefore, it was best to keep it a secret, especially from Ling Shuangxue. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause.

After returning to his room, Lin Yan poured the Spirit Marrows on the table and divided them into two piles according to their grades.

There were 44 ungraded ones, 1 Spirit Coin for each; 7 first-grade ones, and 5 Spirit Coins for each. The value was similar to 4 second-grade Spirit Marrows, each for 20 Spirit Coins.

However, in terms of the Nine Wisdom Bodhi’s apertures, the difference was huge.

Lin Yan directly absorbed them one by one and finished absorbing all the ungraded and first-grade ones. He condensed a total of two Enlightenment Spiritual Lights, a total of 18 Wisdom Apertures.

Originally, four second-grade Spirit Marrows were only equivalent to 8 Wisdom Apertures.

“However, this ratio seems to be lower than the previous few times…

“Also, just now, the 44 ungraded Spirit Marrows clearly had about the same amount of external spiritual matter, but the accumulation effect of the subsequent absorption was inferior to the previous ones.

“Especially the last four or five, the effect is only half of the initial absorption.

“Could it be that after absorbing too much external spiritual matter, the Nine Wisdom Bodhi has developed resistance?

“Desensitization?

Or should I say that I’ve adapted to the external spiritual matter of the ungraded Spirit Marrow, causing the Nine Wisdom Bodhi to have no choice but to absorb more external spiritual matter to form the Enlightenment Spiritual Light or the Nine Wisdom Bodhi?”

“Fortunately, this situation only happens to ungraded Spirit Marrow…”

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Didn’t this mean that the further he went, the lower the efficiency of the external spiritual matter provided by the ungraded Spirit Marrow?

In fact, at some point, the ungraded Spirit Marrow would be useless to him. He had to use first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade…

Then, the levels went up one after another?

Lin Yan had no choice but to sound the alarm. This meant that the situation of an endless supply of Enlightenment Spiritual Light in the future might not happen.

Every Enlightenment Spiritual Light had to be used on the blade!

Lin Yan let out a long breath and sat cross-legged on the bed.

During the sublimation, a little Enlightenment Spiritual Light bloomed. Then, he said, “Black Jade Bodhi, sublimation to the extreme, Wondrous Tao Te Ching!”

Amidst the roar, his mind fell into the same vast fog. Similarly, several bright spots of light were faintly discernible in the fog.

His consciousness also fell into a blank state. He relied on his subconscious to chase after the deeper, larger, and brighter light spots.

After chasing for an unknown period of time, when Lin Yan’s Enlightenment Spiritual Light was about to be exhausted, he finally grabbed a resplendent light spot that seemed real and fake.

BOOM!

In an instant, Lin Yan seemed to fall into a hazy illusion.

In the illusion, he traveled tens of thousands of miles in the world and transformed into a passerby in the human world. He saw the world and all living beings just to search for himself.

The sun and moon rose and set. Time was merciless. He walked like this.

Perhaps he walked for a year, ten years, or a hundred years…

Until one day, he suddenly realized that there was another self in his body.

Then there was the second, the third… endlessly…

They looked like him, but they didn’t exactly look like him. They looked alive, but they also looked dead.

Then who was the real him?

As the enlightenment state faded, Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly widened. He couldn’t help but retch, and the skin all over his body trembled.

How strange!

The special effect this time was too strange!

At the end of the illusion, Lin Yan even felt that his skin, internal organs, and muscles seemed to have come alive. It was as if every cell had become an independent and sentient individual.

He was no longer himself, but an even more mysterious, strange, and chaotic existence.

He took a deep breath and only calmed down after a long while.

Lin Yan opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture and saw the special effects column.

Special Effects:

Black Jade Bodhi—Extreme Sublimation

Nine Wisdom Bodhi—Nine Revolutions Nine Wisdom

Devour—Poison Transformation

Five Animal Hands—Rejuvenation

Dragon-Shaped Fist—Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder

Wondrous Tao Te Ching—Formless True Self: See the world, see all living beings, and see yourself. In the pursuit of the Dao over thousands of miles, you have comprehended your true spirit and transformed all living beings into yourself. You can also transform into all living beings. After consuming a drop of blood essence, you can create a Formless Clone. As the saying goes, being formless, there are all kinds of changes and endless possibilities.

Clone?

A drop of blood essence could turn into a clone?

In this world, martial arts was meant to train blood energy. In other words, every drop of blood in one’s body was the blood essence.

Lin Yan circulated his strength and forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip. Lin Yan immediately activated the Formless True Self special effect.

As if he was born with it, Lin Yan felt that his will seemed to have materialized into an invisible hand that instantly pinched the drop of blood into a blood-red clone that was almost identical to him.

The only problem was…

Its size was still only the size of a drop of blood!

If one didn’t open their eyes wide and take a closer look, they wouldn’t be able to tell that this drop of blood was a humanoid!

What was the use of such a small clone?

To do a micro-carving?
