Chapter 887: Feng Family Secret Cavern
“Who else could it be other than Ningzhong? Naturally, it’s the Feng family from Guanning. They’re quite a considerable force in Guanning Prefecture,” Feng Yue said without hesitation.
“Guanning Prefecture? Which state is that under?” Han Li narrowed his eyes.
“There are indeed several prefectures named Guanning across the states of Great Jin, but the Ningzhong Feng family is only in the Guanning Prefecture of Liao State,” Feng Yue said with a strange expression, glancing at Han Li as if surprised by his detailed question.
Han Li didn’t care much and simply nodded without asking further about the Feng family. Instead, he pointed at the jade pendant and asked, “How did you obtain this? Does it have any history?”
“This Lingxia Pendant is a Feng Family token passed down to me by my father. Fellow cultivator, why do you ask about this item?” Feng Yue was greatly surprised.
“A token? Do all Feng family members possess a top-tier magical artifact as a token?” Han Li cast a skeptical glance at the young man.
“Of course not. The entire Feng family only has three or four such tokens. Non-direct bloodline disciples definitely can’t possess one,” Feng Yue shook his head.
“So that means your status in the Feng family isn’t low.”
“I am the eldest son of the main branch of the Feng family. Unless something unexpected happens, I’m supposed to take over the Feng family in a few decades,” Feng Yue said, a twitch appearing at the corner of his mouth, and a flash of pain crossed his eyes.
Hearing this, Han Li knew his suspicion was correct — the other party had major troubles, and it seemed the Feng family was in serious trouble.
Since it wasn’t his business, Han Li didn’t press for details. Instead, he stared at the young man and asked the question he most wanted answered.
“What relationship does your Feng family have with the Great Jin Buddhist Sect? Don’t say you know nothing. Since the token is imbued with such deep Buddhist spiritual light, there must be some connection.”
“The Buddhist Sect and our Feng family do have some ties. One of our ancestors was once a secular disciple of Qian Guang Temple in Guanning. Qian Guang Temple is a branch of the Jin Luo Sect, a major school of Buddhism. Our Feng family originally cultivated Buddhist cultivation techniques. But several hundred years ago, after Qian Guang Temple moved out of Liao State and returned to the main sect, our family disciples switched to Confucian cultivation techniques,” Feng Yue paused briefly but wasn’t hiding anything and spoke frankly.
Han Li’s heart lifted.
Although he didn’t know Qian Guang Temple, he had heard of the Jin Luo Sect—that was one of the four great sects of Buddhism in Great Jin. It seemed the Feng family once cultivated the most orthodox Buddhist cultivation techniques.
“Do you know all of these Buddhist cultivation techniques?” Han Li continued to ask.
“I didn’t want to cultivate Buddhist techniques, so I never memorized their spell formations. But our Feng family does retain these cultivation methods,” Feng Yue replied after some hesitation.
By now, he had realized that this mysterious person seemed to have come specifically for the Buddhist cultivation techniques, and he felt a bit surprised.
It was well known in the Great Jin immortal cultivation world that although Buddhist cultivation techniques had immense power in the later stages, their slow progress and strict conditions made them less attractive. Few cultivators willingly practiced Buddhist spell formations.
“Han kid, you should ask about the ancestor—what realm he reached, and whether he cultivated sarira. Only Buddhist practitioners who have cultivated sarira can cultivate methods to eliminate deadly aura,” the Great Yin Divine Lord suddenly reminded.
Han Li had already learned about sarira through ancient texts before coming to Great Jin.
Sarira is unique to Buddhist practitioners. Some appear during the foundation formation stage, others are cultivated only in the nascent soul stage. There seems to be no clear pattern. To cultivators outside Buddhism, it is a mysterious existence.
