Daozhen sat in the chair, his body pausing slightly.

He hadn't expected Su Yun to say such things so frankly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

“Young friend Su, that stone carving was obtained from an abandoned temple outside. It should contain secret techniques and mental formulas related to Buddhism.”

"If young friend Su wishes to watch..."

Daozhen hesitated.

After all, this matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

Seeing Daozhen hesitate, Su Yun immediately stood up and said, "If Abbot Daozhen is willing to let me examine them, I am willing to offer the two stone carvings in my hand to add more information to the characters on the stone carvings."

As long as he can obtain the advanced version of the Nourishing Spirit Technique, he doesn't care about the stone-carved characters in his hand, since he has already memorized them.

"Oh?"

Daozhen was slightly surprised at this moment.

After pondering for a moment, he continued, "If that's the case, then it wouldn't be unreasonable to let my young friend observe it."

"But young friend Su must promise me that the information you observe should not be easily disseminated."

Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Don't worry about that, it will never be revealed to anyone."

Daozhen continued, "That's acceptable; otherwise, such an existence might bring about its own demise."

These words startled Su Yun.

He then realized that Abbot Daozhen knew the stone carving might be related to Mount Putuo and told him not to spread it easily, because he was afraid that the people of Mount Putuo would cause him trouble.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that Abbot Daozhen was indeed compassionate. He had cultivated Buddhism and Taoism for many years, yet he was neither pedantic nor foolishly kind; his cultivation was profound.

At this moment, Abbot Daozhen stood up and said, "Young friend Su, please come with me."

"it is good."

Su Yun felt a surge of excitement.

Unexpectedly, the discussion went so smoothly, with almost no obstacles!

Fortunately, he had the stone carving as a bargaining chip, which made Abbot Daozhen agree; otherwise, he might not have been qualified to observe it.

Abbot Daozhen led the way, talking with Su Yun along the way.

However, Su Yun was somewhat absent-minded, only thinking about the stone carving.

Finally, after about ten minutes, Abbot Daozhen led him deep into Dayan Temple and to the rear, to the archives room.

Dayan Temple occupies a considerable area.

At the very front are various Buddhist temples, Bodhisattvas, Buddha statues, and so on.

The area on the left is for outsiders to live in.

The area on the right is where the monks of Dayan Temple live.

Further inside is where the cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the outer Qi Sea reside, followed by the main hall of Dayan Temple, the Zen Heart Pavilion, and other locations.

At this moment, Su Yun followed Abbot Daozhen to a location that was at the very back of Dayan Temple, a place where outsiders were not allowed to come.

If Su Yun hadn't been brought by Abbot Daozhen, he would have been stopped at every turn outside and wouldn't have been allowed to enter.

"Young friend Su, we've arrived."

Abbot Daozhen stopped in his tracks.

Ahead, there was a dark red gate, with lifelike carvings of Vajra Arhats on it.

The next moment, Abbot Daozhen waved his hand, extending a wisp of spiritual energy from his hand and channeling it into the doorway.

A few breaths later, the door slowly creaked open automatically.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow. Was this a trap?

The Buddhist sect seems to be very good at these things; for example, the gate at the foot of Tianyu Ridge was also a mechanism.

After following Abbot Daozhen inside, he merely glanced at the items displayed on the side.

As expected, just as the fat monk had said, most of them were covered up.

Even divine sense detection was blocked, so it was impossible to see what it was.

Su Yun didn't dare to be presumptuous. Knowing he shouldn't look too much, he withdrew his divine sense and looked ahead.

Upon closer inspection, a stone carving, about half a person's height, stood quietly in the center of the display stand.

The characters carved on it, at a rough glance, are densely packed, far more than half the number of stone carvings in Su Yun's hand combined.

His heart stirred greatly!

Beside him, Abbot Daozhen turned to look at him and said, "Young friend Su, if you wish to observe, then please watch from here."
