Chapter 78 - The Treasure of the Buddha Sect

Puh!

The middle-aged man’s throat surged again, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body swaying, his face deathly pale.

Driving the car, Xiao Yifeng returned to Haitang Garden, carrying the bronze statue into his own room.

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes were fixed on the half-meter-tall bronze statue.

With a fierce punch, it shattered with a loud bang, and a golden light gleamed from within.

Inside the bronze statue, there was actually a round bead emitting a golden glow.

“What is this?”

As he looked at the bead, Xiao Yifeng grasped it in his palm, and a rich Buddha Dao aura rushed over him, carrying a sacred breath.

“Buddhist Relic!”

Looking at the bead in his hand, Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed, revealing a hint of shock in his eyes.

The bead emanated a strong Buddha Dao aura and indeed resembled the legendary Buddhist Relic.

However, Xiao Yifeng had never seen a sharira before and didn’t know if they even existed in this world.

He had unexpectedly discovered the bead inside the statue when he was scanning it with his penetrative vision, which was why he had decided to buy it.

He hadn’t expected that the bead would contain such a powerful Buddha Dao aura.

Holding the bead, Xiao Yifeng felt his entire being calm down.

All worries and distracting thoughts were eradicated.

Even if it wasn’t a Buddhist Relic, it was definitely a treasure.

This trip to the antique street, although he hadn’t obtained the Spirit Stone for cultivation, had led to the discovery of the black token and this bead, both of which were extraordinary.

The former had attracted the pursuit of several Dark Energy masters.

Moreover, from their words, Xiao Yifeng could guess that the black token contained a great secret.

As for the bead, it was even more incredible, although Xiao Yifeng was not yet certain if it was a Buddhist Relic.

However, even if it wasn’t, it was undoubtedly a treasured item of the Buddha Sect.

Regardless, the gains were substantial.

Xiao Yifeng was more interested in the black token, or perhaps he was more interested in the group that wanted to snatch the token.

At the same time, in Tianhai, within a mysterious manor, the man who had previously tried to seize the token from Xiao Yifeng appeared in a room in the manor, kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

In front of him sat a man in a white robe with a square face and a somber countenance, his brows exuding authority.

At that moment, his eyes, with a hint of cold light, were fixed on the middle-aged man.

“Is what you’re saying true?

That token is truly the Asura Order!” The man in the white robe spoke with a deep voice.

“This subordinate cannot be sure,” the middle-aged man said.

“However, one of my disciples has seen the token, and he says that the patterns on it are very similar to the Asura Order, so there is a seventy percent probability.”

“Regardless, as long as there’s even the slightest possibility, we must ascertain it.

We have searched for the Asura Order for a long time, and now that a trace has been discovered, we absolutely cannot let this go.

Find out the identity of the other party at once.”

The middle-aged man glanced at the man in the white robe and said, “Master, except for us, ordinary people should not be able to recognize the Asura Order, yet that young man bought it.”

“Moreover, this person is very powerful.

I am not a match for him with just one move.

His strength is at least at the level of Great Perfection of Dark Energy, and he may even have entered the Transformative Energy Stage.

With his age, having such strength, his background must be extraordinary.”

“You’re saying he recognizes the Asura Order, and might even be connected to those people?” The man in the white robe’s expression changed, his eyes narrowing.

“I’m not sure for the moment, however, we’ve been in hiding until today, and we must be cautious.

We absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes, otherwise if those people find out, it will be a tremendous blow to us,” the middle-aged man said gravely.

The man in the white robe’s eyes flickered with a sharp gleam and he said, “Very well, I’ll leave this matter in your hands.

First, secretly investigate this young man’s background, see if he has any connection to those people, and then we can make further plans.

“Yes, Master!” The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

After putting away the bead and the black token, Xiao Yifeng returned to the company.

But as soon as he entered the company, he saw a figure—Hu Mingrui’s son, Hu Jie, who he had sent to the hospital before, and who had just come back today.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng, Hu Jie’s face immediately darkened, a sinister look flashing through his eyes.

He snorted coldly and walked inside.

“Young Master Hu, you’ve recovered quite quickly.

It seems I was a bit too gentle last time,” Xiao Yifeng said with his arms crossed and a playful expression on his face.

Hu Jie’s body trembled violently, his hands clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound, biting his lip tightly, he swallowed this grievance and quickly disappeared from Xiao Yifeng’s sight.

Soon after, Hu Jie arrived at Ye Yaxin’s office.

“Manager Hu, are you all right?” Ye Yaxin asked when she saw Hu Jie.

“Thank you for your concern, President Ye.

I’m fine,” Hu Jie shook his head and then added, “But today I came to discuss something with you.”

“What is it?” Ye Yaxin looked at Hu Jie curiously.

“The President of the M-Country Fortune Group, Leon, is about to come to Tianhai.

I met him a few times and had dinner with him when I was in M Country.

This time I specially invited him to Tianhai,” Hu Jie said calmly.

“The Fortune Group?

You mean the group that controls a third of M Country’s economy and is among the world’s top ten?” Ye Yaxin asked, looking shocked.

A smile appeared at the corner of Hu Jie’s mouth as he nodded, saying, “That’s right, it’s that Fortune Group.

I heard that Leon was coming to China and I made a point of contacting him.

He’s arriving in Tianhai tomorrow.”

“I’d like President Ye to join me for a meal with Leon.

If we could foster a good relationship or even strike up a partnership with the Fortune Group, I’m sure you are well aware of the influence and benefits it could bring to Ye Corporation.”

Ye Yaxin’s eyes sparkled and she said, “Good.

If we can establish a connection with the Fortune Group this time, Manager Hu, you’ll be the meritorious official of the Ye Corporation.”

“All thanks to your excellent mentoring, President.

I’ll continue to work hard to help strengthen the Ye Corporation,” Hu Jie said firmly, his gaze deeply fixed on Ye Yaxin, a flicker of unusual interest passing through.

As he turned to leave Ye Yaxin’s office, Hu Jie thought coldly to himself: Kiddo, Ye Yaxin will definitely be my woman.

Of course, Xiao Yifeng was unaware of Hu Jie’s thoughts.

At that moment, he was in the sales department, playing games and teasing Fang Siqi.

Ever since they both discovered that they were childhood playmates, their relationship seemed to have grown much closer all of a sudden.

Plus, he could tease the strikingly beautiful Hong Mei from time to time.

Life was indeed very relaxing.

The afternoon passed just like that.

Xiao Yifeng might not have clocked in for work very punctually, but he was very punctual when it came to clocking out.

Just as he stepped out of the sales department, he saw Qiu Yuying approaching.
