Chapter 885: Ruyi Golden Cudgel

In many situations, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw, and there are many dilemmas on life's path where one can only choose one of two.

But Luo Quan seemed to rarely encounter such situations. Looking at the two Dharma images in front of her, she thought she could only choose one, but it turned out both were hers.

"Since that's the case, then I'll choose the Great Sage Equal to Heaven first; he's cooler." Luo Quan pointed at the figure in golden armor and red robe without thinking.

"You can't choose yet. These two inheritances are randomly chosen one of two. You can only inherit the next one after you have mastered one of them. This is to prevent you from being greedy and unable to chew."

The System's answer made Luo Quan roll her eyes: "Then why didn't you say so earlier? Isn't this a waste of my expression?"

After saying this, Luo Quan began her "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" selection.

Perhaps she had used up her luck before; this time she did not inherit the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's inheritance first, but obtained the Victorious Fighting Buddha's inheritance first.

The moment the inheritance was activated, the two ten-thousand-foot Dharma images shattered with a bang, turning into golden rain that finally converged into her body.

"Victorious Fighting Sacred Law!"

These big characters appeared in Luo Quan's mind, and then she instantly mastered the cultivation and operation method of this technique.

It sounded very powerful; she didn't know why it inexplicably reminded her of Saint Seiya.

However, just as she started to operate the spiritual energy in her body according to the inheritance, everything in front of her suddenly turned pitch black.

"What's the situation?" Luo Quan panicked a little.

"Don't be nervous; this is because the inheritance is over and your consciousness is about to return to reality."

The System's words made Luo Quan breathe a sigh of relief; she thought she had some problem with her cultivation that caused her to go blind.

A few seconds later, light appeared before Luo Quan's eyes.

After she saw everything clearly, she was dumbfounded. First, the hot spring in the pool had disappeared for some reason; she was now lying naked at the bottom of the pool, like a stranded fish.

Secondly, in the darkness, her body was actually still emitting a faint white light, and it was precisely because of this white light that she saw the situation around her clearly.

"What exactly happened to me?" Luo Quan stared with wide eyes, carefully examining her arms.

Her already fair skin became even more delicate and smooth, as if sculpted from peerless white jade, and this piece of jade even came with a night-light effect.

"The essence in this pool came from that Buddha bone relic. You accepted the inheritance within the Buddha bone relic, and these essences were naturally absorbed by you, so the pool bottomed out.

As for your current glowing situation, it's because your physique has evolved."

The System's explanation left Luo Quan crying and laughing: "So I evolved from a land animal to one that can also survive in the deep sea?"

"Man and Nature" mentioned that many animals in the deep sea can glow themselves.

"If you insist on understanding it this way, that's fine. I have good news and bad news here; which one do you want to hear first?"

"Stop stalling, hurry up and say it!" Luo Quan got anxious.

"Bad news: the Leakless Golden Body you obtained by taking the Golden Pill is gone.

Good news: the Buddha bone relic helped you change to a better one, called the Flawless Glazed Body. The glowing is just because you just obtained it and haven't fully adapted yet; it will be fine after a while.

Now with this physique, you can be said to be immune to all poisons, invulnerable to swords and spears, and untouchable by all laws; it's truly powerful!"

"Then will I still have my period?" Luo Quan scratched the itch on her back, finding that it had actually become as tender and smooth as if coated with baby moisturizer.

"That still can't be avoided; after all, your realm is too low right now."

The System's answer left Luo Quan deeply disappointed. It sounded like her physique was getting more and more powerful, but it still couldn't solve this monthly trouble.

"Let's just leave it at that for now."

Luo Quan took a deep breath and stood up.

Fortunately, she could glow; otherwise, with it being pitch black all around, she wouldn't be able to find where her clothes were folded.

After putting on her clothes, Luo Quan realized the golden monkey was gone.

Looking around, she only saw a small stick the size of a ballpoint pen, with golden hoops on both ends of the stick.

If this wasn't the legendary Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Luo Quan would eat her computer screen on the spot.

Placing the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in her palm, Luo Quan silently chanted: "Grow, grow, grow."

Subsequently, it really expanded and became the size of a rolling pin.

"This thing is interesting." Luo Quan smiled from ear to ear, feeling that the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was much more fun than Da Hei and Xiao Yu.

Changing it back to the size of a ballpoint pen, Luo Quan tucked it into her pocket, then leaped out of the waterfall, preparing to return to the camp while there was still time.

However, the sunlight shining on her face made her freeze.

"It's daytime so soon?"

Luo Quan took out her phone wanting to know what time it was, only to find that the phone wouldn't turn on; it looked like the battery was exhausted.

She had used this phone for two years; although the battery was indeed not very good, just relying on standby to drain the power would take at least two days.

That is to say, she had stayed in the cave for at least two days or even longer, but she felt like only a few hours had passed.

At this time, she suddenly remembered a line of poetry: "A few months in the cave, a thousand years in the world."

Could it be that after she fell into the illusion just now, a long, long time had actually passed in the outside world?

Thinking of this, Luo Quan panicked, fearing that after she went out, everything in front of her would have changed, with people and things no longer the same.

"Don't think too much. It's daytime so soon because the secret realm itself has different laws from the outside world. As for your phone, it's not that the power is exhausted; it's because the energy overflowing when you accepted the inheritance was too strong, which broke the phone."

"Damn, so it was a false alarm." Luo Quan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Actually, thinking calmly, one could find clues. According to the speed of Da Hei and Xiao Yu, if several days had really passed, they should have come to her side by themselves long ago.

So, don't panic when encountering things; once you panic, your brain easily short-circuits, and you can't figure anything out.

"Then the question is, how should I return to the camp now?" Luo Quan stood on the mountain, looking at the vast forest sea in front of her.

Lowering her head, she took out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, wanting to ask if it still remembered the way.

"Of course I don't remember. I positioned you to find your camp."

The Golden Cudgel vibrated, answering as such.

Just when Luo Quan was at her wit's end, two points of light appeared in the sky.

After getting closer, it was Da Hei and Xiao Yu who had restored their original forms.

"You guys came at just the right time!" Luo Quan showed a joyful expression and directly let them act separately to find the location of the camp.

The two treasures had been flying all night; after coming to their master's side, they hadn't rested long before flying toward the distance again without stopping.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yu brought back good news: it had found the location of the camp.

After having the location, Luo Quan notified Xiao Hei not to look anymore, and then immediately set off, rushing toward the camp.

After her physique upgraded, her strength, speed, and endurance had all significantly improved.

Every jump on the trees far exceeded the best results of the Olympic Games.

Just like when she came, she kept jumping like this, and twenty minutes later, she finally saw the rising cooking smoke.

The people in the camp seemed to have just woken up, and quite a few were still sleeping, not noticing at all that one person was missing.

Taking advantage of the fact that those few people who got up to brush their teeth weren't paying attention, Luo Quan landed near her tent, bent down to pick up the note she left last night, and crumpled it into a ball.

"Luo Quan, you're up so early." Daoist Priest Yu Ting from Long Hushan walked out of the tent and greeted Luo Quan after seeing her.

This time Long Hushan sent three disciples, and he was one of them.

"You're quite early too." Luo Quan said with a smile, her expression quite natural, making people unable to see any clues at all.

After chatting for a few sentences, the two returned to their tents to eat breakfast.

It was still self-heating rice; after eating, they packed up the tents and then gathered for roll call.

Today's task was much more arduous than yesterday's, which was to find as many caves as possible and then take out the treasures hidden inside.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the wild beasts in the forest, for some reason, had all disappeared overnight.

Yesterday, a few would jump out from time to time to attack them, but today, they couldn't even see one.

Director Qi Yuan, full of doubts, let the drone take off to scout the situation around, only to find that the large wild beasts in the forest were all fleeing in the opposite direction.

At their current speed of advance, they wouldn't be able to catch up even if they walked for seven days.

"These beasts are quite smart; knowing they can't afford to provoke us, they ran away decisively." Director Qi Yuan was happy and worried after seeing this scene.

What he was happy about was that without the harassment of these huge wild beasts, the subsequent exploration would be much easier.

What he was worried about was that without the obstruction of these huge wild beasts, others' exploration would also be much easier.

"Now it depends on who finds the caves faster!" Director Qi Yuan quickly gave orders, letting the team accelerate their advance, and also had people use drones to search for all the caves nearby, planting a flag in advance to occupy the place.

For the next day, Director Qi Yuan divided the two hundred-plus people under his command into four groups to explore in four directions, improving efficiency.

Although Luo Quan had supreme martial power, she did not obtain the qualification to lead the team, only following arrangements to be a deputy captain.

Of course, these nominal positions were already unimportant to her.

The biggest profit in the secret realm had already been scooped up by her; the rest were all leftovers, and she just needed to follow behind and slowly mix in.

Before, the frequent attacks of wild beasts might have caused some pressure, but now the wild beasts had all run away, and the beast-headed human monsters were nowhere to be seen; the only pressure probably came from other humans in the secret realm.

Fortunately, everyone was very harmonious at the moment, each circling a territory to develop inside, minding their own business.

Two days passed like this, and the second batch of exploration teams also arrived at the secret realm, bringing more supplies and weapons.

It is said that the third batch to arrive would be the construction team; everyone unanimously decided to jointly develop this paradise.

The spiritual energy concentration here was far beyond the outside world, making it a good place extremely suitable for martial artists to practice.

Besides that, the environment here had almost zero pollution, very suitable for retirement, so if a real estate project could be developed here, it could easily be sold at a sky-high price.

On the fourth day of entering the secret realm, the treasures in all the explorable caves had basically been emptied.

There were a total of seventy-two caves, but except for the first cave, they never saw the shadow of the beast-headed human monsters again.

However, Director Qi Yuan felt that there must be more than one such monster, and until now, they still couldn't determine the strength of the monsters; there were simply too many unknowns and dangers in this secret realm.

Therefore, he himself was very much against developing the secret realm so early, at least waiting until those uncertain factors were cleared up.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make the decision and could only execute orders.

The latest order was to bring back the collected pills and weapons, and then arrange for people to cooperate with the construction team to develop the "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" real estate project.

"I shouldn't be needed here anymore, right?"

On the shore, Luo Quan asked Director Qi Yuan.

The pills had already been loaded onto the ship, but not a single person from the first batch to enter the secret realm wanted to leave.

Because they knew there were still great things here that hadn't been developed, and just the spiritual energy concentration, which was five times that of the outside world, made them unable to leave this place.

"Now every force has already circled its own territory. The territory we were assigned is quite good, with mountains and water; it's a geomantic treasure land."

Director Qi Yuan smiled helplessly and said to Luo Quan: "Looking at it now, there won't be any more fighting, but staying here to practice can be faster, so..."

"It's just like that; I don't lack that bit of spiritual energy." Luo Quan said with a smile.

Director Qi Yuan froze for a moment, then remembered that she had several top-tier antiques in her hands; the spiritual energy concentration here might really not be higher than her bedroom, no wonder she was willing to leave.

"Actually, it's mainly for the Olympic Games. If I leave for too long and miss the second round of competition, wouldn't the gold medal, which originally had no suspense, be gone?"

Luo Quan stated another reason.

The second round of competition was held one week after the end of the first round. She had been in for four days, and with one day left for the journey, she would still be in time to compete.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force you to stay. I wish you gold in the Olympics!"

Director Qi Yuan sent his blessings to Luo Quan, and then watched her board the cruise ship leaving.

A seven-hour journey is long if you say it's long, and short if you say it's short.

Luo Quan, who had eaten self-heating rice for four consecutive days, did the first thing after boarding the ship: go to the restaurant to eat a fresh lunch, finally satisfying her appetite a little.

But this was far from enough; after going out, she would have to have another good meal.

After eating lunch and returning to the room, Luo Quan didn't turn on the light, but the light emitted by her body was still enough for her to see everything in the room clearly.

Although compared to when she had just inherited the Flawless Glazed Body, the current brightness had weakened a lot.

Before, she was a lightbulb person; now, she could be considered a fluorescent person.

But if someone saw her at night, it would likely still cause panic.

Fortunately, the body's adaptation speed was very fast; after another three or four days, she would probably be able to return to normal.

She hoped that in these short few days, she wouldn't be exposed and no accidents would happen.

Lying on the soft bed for seven hours, with a loud whistle, the cruise ship announced that it had docked.

Luo Quan packed her luggage, passed through the narrow passage, and then walked off the cruise ship.

When the bustling Tokyo appeared before her eyes again, a feeling of "a lifetime away" rose in her heart. ===== CHAPTER 886 =====
