Emperor’s Domination

a while and just happened to come across a store with a display window.

He didnt really care but the content of the store made her stop for a bit.

He walked several steps ahead before noticing and stopping to look at the dazed girl.

“Lets go in.” Li Qiye opened the door and was greeted by an enthusiastic worker.

Jinning regained her wits and also followed along. The two of them were next to the display window now.

“Its not bad.” Li Qiye knew exactly the item that stole her attention.

“Esteemed Guests, you have keen eyesight. This carving is in the form of Lankavatara Buddha. Our Shopkeeper has identified it as authentic.” The worker told the two.

“Im aware.” Jinning jumped in.

The item on the window display was a wooden Buddha, small in size, and had a cute smile – looking quite merciful.

“Lankavatara Buddha.”Li Qiye chuckled while looking at it.

“Yes.” The worker said: “It has been blessed by Buddhist arts and able to expel evil and subdue fiends. It might come from the Buddha himself, a very fine item.”

Lankavatara Buddha was a progenitor in Immortal Lineage, one of the few that didnt have an official title. He started a temple with the same name at first. This eventually became an entire system.

For a long period of time, some said that only he could rival Desolate Saint in terms of illuminating and saving the people. His Buddhism affected many generations in history.

“Definitely high-grade.” Li Qiye nodded.

It was clearly treasured by its previous master – shiny and clean.

“Would you like to buy it?” The worker asked.

“Yes.” Li Qiye smiled, not bothering to look at the price.

“Are you crazy?” Jinning became startled and pointed at the price plaque beneath: “It cost 300,000 Eternal stones.”

Her reaction was justified. This was a monstrous sum to her, not something she would even dare to dream about. She thought that he didnt see the price.

“Oh? Thats fine.” Li Qiye glanced at the plaque and still didnt care.

Jinning was astounded. Not to mention regular cultivators, even the successors or princes of systems wouldnt be able to produce such a large sum in one go. However, Li Qiye acted as if he was only paying three pebbles found on the street.

“Amitabha.” Right when Li Qiye was about to grab the wooden Buddha, the threads of a whisker coiled around his arm to stop him.

Two young men were standing next to him now, both wearing the robe of a novice monk and had orderly dots on their forehead.

They had a bright glow behind their head, looking like two little Buddhas. Their robes were simple but still glowed all the same, making them look freed from a single speck of dust.

They looked very similar; one would easily mistake them for twins. There were distinct differences – the one on the left had long arms while the one on the right had big palms.

The one using a whisker to stop Li Qiye was the left monk.

“Amitabha. Benefactor, this wooden carving is connected to us through fate.” The left one placed his palms together and told Li Qiye.

“What does that have to do with me?” Li Qiye seemed slightly annoyed.

On the other hand, Jinning was nervous and hurried pulled on his sleeve while whispering: “Dont argue with them.”
