Granted the Great Cyclic Pellet
His memory was extraordinary, and he remembered it after reading it twice. However, many of the meanings were obscure and difficult to understand. He could not help but read it a few more times. After reading it, he closed his eyes and recalled. After confirming that there was no mistake, he returned the Yijin Jing to its original place.
Other than Tendon Changing Classic, he also saw a few martial arts that he was interested in.
"Arhat's Divine Power, Dragon Subduing Elephant Subduing Technique, Pearl Subduing Demon Supreme Divine Power, Kasaya Subduing Demon Technique."
Xu Chen took out these martial arts manuals one by one, then sat on a futon near the windowsill and quietly read them.
The first Arhat's Power was said to have the appearance of 500 Arhats when it was practiced to a high level. As for the second technique, the Dragon Subduing Elephant Technique, he could use the Buddhist Lion's Roar when he cultivated it to a high level! The third and fourth were the techniques of using prayer beads and kasaya as weapons to kill enemies.
He didn't need to learn these martial arts, but his experience with the Eighteen Arhat Fist told him that there was no harm in mastering more martial arts. He might be able to use them in the future.
After memorizing these martial arts, Xu Chen returned them to their original places and left the Sutra Depository.
In the following days, Xu Chen did not practice these martial arts. Instead, he continued to practice his own Buddhist divine power, the Eighteen Arhat Fist.
However, these days, the system would always sound out:
"Ding dong! Merit points 5."
"Ding dong! Merit points 5."
It was like this when he ate vegetarian meals, when he learned Sanskrit, when he practiced boxing, when he studied Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Depository, and even when he slept.
Although it was very noisy, it was a beautiful noise! Xu Chen found it extremely pleasing to the ear.
"Ding dong! Merit points 5."
On the second floor of the Scripture Depository.
Xu Chen, who was sitting on a futon and reading a Sanskrit scripture, revealed his handsome face and looked out the window.
Outside, there was a blue sky and a green tree crown. There was also a monk wearing a yellow robe who was passing by with his hands pressed together. The scar on his head was clear.
The birds were chirping on the roof, creating a very harmonious picture.
"It seems that Abbot Xuan Ci has promoted the Eighteen Arhat Fists.”
Xu Chen muttered to himself.
With Huiqing's experience, Xu Chen already knew that this was the merit value that someone had given him after cultivating the Eighteen Arhat Fists and improving his martial arts realm. The number of merit points had been increasing over the past few days, which meant that more and more people were cultivating.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for him. In the long run, his merit points would increase.
Days passed.
Just as Xu Chen had expected, the more merits he obtained, the more merits he obtained. Sometimes, he could gain hundreds of merit points in a day.
In just ten days, he had gained several thousand points!
After a month, Xu Chen was pleasantly surprised that his merit points had broken through the 5,000 mark! This made Xu Chen extremely happy. With so many merit points, it was enough for him to comprehend Buddhist divine powers several times!
Just as he was about to go mad with joy, Abbot Xuan Ci called him over.
He said that he had something important to say, so Xu Chen had no choice but to go. He guessed that it should be about fist techniques.
"Xuchen, I underestimated the Eighteen Arhat Fist you created!”
Xu Chen heard this when he saw Xuan Ci.
"After this period of testing, I found that this fist technique is extremely effective!" Xuan Ci said excitedly. It was not inferior to the Tendon Changing Scripture of the temple at all! In some aspects, it was even better! At the very least, it was impossible to learn Tendon Changing Classic so quickly!”
The requirements for cultivating Tendon Changing Classic were extremely harsh.
Abstinence from greed, anger, and ignorance, and see through one's own appearance. If one had the slightest eagerness for quick success and instant benefit, all their efforts would be in vain.
The Eighteen Arhat Fist didn't have that many requirements, but its effects were no less than Yijin Jing. That was why Xuan Ci said that. During this period of time, after the Shaolin Monks practiced this set of fist techniques, their martial arts realms had improved significantly! The overall strength of Shaolin Temple also followed suit. This was also the source of Xuan Ci's excitement.
Xu Chen didn't know what to say when he saw him so excited. He thought about it and said,""Abbot, you flatter me."
"What are you talking about?"
"Xu Chen, your fist technique has contributed greatly to our temple!" Xuan Ci waved his hand and smiled. Therefore, I will keep my promise and give you the Great Cyclic Pellet as a reward!”
As he spoke, he handed over a small wooden box carved with patterns to Xu Chen.
A faint, strange fragrance overflowed from it, assaulting his nostrils.
Then, Xuan Ci opened the box.
A golden pill that was almost jade-like lay quietly in the wooden box.
"Big... Great Cyclic Pellet?"
Xu Chen took it in confusion.
This thing was useless to him. However, he couldn't directly refuse, or else he would expose himself.
"Not bad! Shaolin Temple was famous for its Zen, martial arts, and medicine. This Recover Pill was the greatest achievement of Shaolin Temple's medicine. One pill could increase one's internal strength for 30 years! Xu Chen, eat it first. I will protect you personally!”
Xuan Ci said enthusiastically.
Xu Chen was silent for a moment and said,""Abbot Xuan Ci, your disciple's foundation is still shallow. After I have a certain foundation in cultivating the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture, I will eat this Recover Pill. The effect will definitely be better.”
"Oh?"
After feeling Xuan Ci's gaze, Xu Chen also looked at him with a very sincere gaze.
"That makes sense. Alright then. When you need it, you can come back to me.”Xuan Ci nodded.
Xu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and closed the box.
....
After leaving the abbot's room, Xu Chen returned to his own residence in the Prajna Hall.
He found a big box and stored the Recover Pill inside. He still had use for it.
After settling the Recover Pill, Xu Chen put his mind back into the merit points. He now had more than 5,000 merit points. According to the minimum requirements, he should be able to comprehend the Buddhist Dharma divine power five times!
Thinking of this, Xu Chen was excited. He left the Prajna Hall in a puff of smoke and went to the Sutra Depository.
Along the way, many monks cast envious gazes at Xu Chen. Some even worshipped him fanatically.
"Strange eyes…"
Xu Chen rubbed his smooth head and quickened his pace towards the Sutra Depository.
He thought that these people should have known that he had obtained the Great Cyclic Pellet. Because the Great Cyclic Pellet was extremely precious, the Shaolin Temple would make an announcement every time they bestowed the Great Cyclic Pellet. It was an honor to be bestowed with the title of the Golden Roll, and it was also meant to motivate the monks in the temple.
Arriving at the Sutra Depository, Xu Chen happened to bump into Xu Kong, who was preparing to leave.
The young monk's eyes were filled with extreme envy!
"Xu Chen! You're so amazing! The abbot actually bestowed the grand recovery pill. Now, you've become a first-class expert! Even Martial Uncle Huiqing had not reached this realm!”
Xu Kong waved his hands and shouted excitedly, spitting out saliva.
