Chapter 2388: Chapter 2408: Master Kurong’s Gift

"What have you been studying these days?"

Master Floating Cloud sat down opposite Lin Chen with great interest, staring at Lin Chen.

After a period of rest, Master Floating Cloud’s injuries had healed significantly. Although he was still far from full recovery, he no longer looked as if he might die at any moment.

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I’ve deepened my understanding of some Cultivation Techniques I practice by using the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics, integrating and comprehending them."

Master Floating Cloud’s expression was one of satisfaction, "How effective was it?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Very good. The Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics truly lives up to its reputation as the cherished Cultivation Technique of Longshan Town!"

Master Floating Cloud nodded and said, "It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Even the best study techniques have their drawbacks and are not suitable for everyone. Once you’ve mastered the methods to learn numerous techniques, then you can learn all the techniques in the world!"

"You’ve also understood the magic of the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics, but I must advise you not to try to learn every Cultivation Technique in the world just because you can. You still need to find the ones that are the best match and most suitable for you. Learning too much can actually consume more of your energy and may even cause you to suffer from indecision at critical moments."

Lin Chen was taken aback, "Indecision?"

Master Floating Cloud explained, "Two people learn the sword. One only learns one sword technique, not complicated, but he practices it for a lifetime, and every move becomes instinctual. When facing danger, he can instinctively counter with the most fitting move. Simple, but effective."

"The other is talented and can learn any sword technique instantly, so he learns hundreds of sword techniques and thousands of moves. When fighting an enemy, the enemy’s sword thrust can trigger seventeen or eighteen counter moves in his mind. If there’s a significant difference in strength, he will naturally have enough leisure to choose how to defeat the opponent effortlessly and elegantly."

"But what if their strengths are equal? The opponent’s attacks come one after another, and you have to choose one from seventeen or eighteen methods each time you counter. Who is quicker, and who holds the advantage?"

With that explanation, Lin Chen immediately understood.

"Too many choices can prevent you from simplifying a task to perfection, inhibiting instinctual reactions in battle because you have to make a choice every time..."

Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, "So when you see good techniques, don’t be greedy. Divine Powers are not better the more you have. Enough is fine, and strive to be intimately familiar with each, forming a battle instinct."

Lin Chen clasped his hands together, "Thank you, Master, for the guidance."

Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, "You are naturally intelligent and understand quickly, so I won’t say more. Here, these are for you..."

Master Floating Cloud tossed over a Spatial Ring. Lin Chen caught it and, after a quick scan with his Divine Sense, looked up in surprise, "What is this?"

Master Floating Cloud chuckled, "I, your Master, am a pauper, but after confronting the Great Monk, he admitted to being in the wrong and gave some compensation, all of which I’m giving to you."

Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart. Master Kurong was a top-notch Great Power, and the items he offered would be anything but ordinary. Master Floating Cloud had given them all to him, showing how much he valued his disciple.

There wasn’t much in the Spatial Ring,a Ling Buddha Pill, a wooden fish, a gold ring, and a thin booklet.

Master Floating Cloud explained, "There’s no need to say much about the Ling Buddha Pill; you know its use. As long as you’re not dead, it can almost surely rescue you. Even if you’re as good as dead, this thing can prolong your life for a while. It’s truly a life-saving elixir."

"This wooden fish is the Magical Treasure he uses daily for chanting sutras and praying, made from ordinary materials but infused with the power of Buddhism day and night. It has become an incredible Magical Treasure now. If you inject spiritual power into it, it’ll automatically chant, and the sound of Buddha will surround it, preventing evil spirits from invading."

"The gold ring is refined from rare metals, with inscriptions on it that allow you to control the ring to ensnare others, changing the size at will. Moreover, the inscriptions can make the trapped person feel like life is worse than death."

At this point, Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Isn’t this just a gold hoop?

Before, when he subdued Liu Yuqi and Fan Cuihong, they also gave him a Magical Treasure similar to a gold hoop, but it was for subduing Demonic Beasts.

Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, "As long as you put this gold ring around the head of someone at the location of their Sea of Knowledge, it will be difficult for them to escape from your grasp, and they will be under your control. The last booklet is something the Great Monk gave to you voluntarily..."

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense landed on the thin booklet, and he saw three characters on the cover.

Divine Enlightenment Scripture.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Why has he given me this sutra? I’m not planning to become a monk, am I?"

Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, "He said that reading this scripture often can calm and concentrate the mind and help resist Inner Demons more easily. Don’t underestimate this booklet. The Divine Enlightenment Scripture is one of the important sutras of Buddhism; most people can’t even think of learning it, let alone glimpse it. He gave you his hand-copied version, and he made it clear it’s for your eyes only..."

"Resisting Inner Demons?"

Lin Chen muttered, "If this scripture really is so useful, then why did he still succumb to his Inner Demons..."
