The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 637: How Many Times Born, How Many Times Died
The words of the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor left Li Muyang silent.
Miao Fengjun resurrected?
Of course, he knew about it!
In the previous game, he had been brutally defeated by Miao Fengjun.
Only by gambling + reloading cheats did he barely make it through.
After that game ended, Miao Fengjun went south, seemingly towards the Ancient Resentment Well.
Counting the days, he should have entered the Ancient Resentment Well by now, right?
It’s unknown what kind of conflict Miao Fengjun, this Ancient Demon, will have with those ancient Evil Gods after entering the Ancient Resentment Well.
At this moment, Li Muyang, spurred by the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor’s words, suddenly felt a longing for the Tianyuan Continent and wanted to go there and have a look.
Seeing Li Muyang’s reaction, the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor instantly understood.
"…Benefactor Jiang Xiaoyu, have you already encountered Miao Fengjun?"
Li Muyang nodded: "I had brief contact a while ago and witnessed its resurrection… if that counts as a resurrection."
Li Muyang didn’t hide anything and simply admitted it.
However, the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor suddenly brought his palms together and chanted a Buddhist mantra.
"Good indeed, good indeed… monk I understand now why benefactor is so persistent."
"If it’s Benefactor Jiang Xiaoyu, then you would never give up on Fairy Qinghe’s portraits."
"These twenty-eight portraits are priceless treasures to you, aren’t they?"
The Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor murmured softly with emotion.
Li Muyang chuckled and said, "Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor, just speak frankly, there’s no need to beat around the bush."
Not embarrassed by having his thoughts exposed, the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor brought his palms together, laughed heartily, and said, "Benefactor is straightforward… Good! Then the monk will speak plainly."
"These twenty-eight portraits of Fairy Qinghe were collected by me and should not be handed over."
"But if it’s Benefactor Jiang Xiaoyu, I could make an exception and give you these portraits directly. However, I have one request… I hope you can eliminate Miao Fengjun."
The Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor made this condition seriously and earnestly.
Li Muyang furrowed his brows in surprise, "Eliminate Miao Fengjun? Why? Does the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor have some grievance with it?"
The Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor shook his head to deny it and said, "The monk has no grievances with Miao Fengjun, but this Demon Cultivator has created too many strange and evil practices during ancient times. If those practices are spread, they would surely poison future generations."
"And during the dark calamity, Miao Fengjun stole an Undying Golden Body from one of our Buddhas."
"The monk hopes that benefactor can eliminate Miao Fengjun and then cremate that Buddha’s golden body to prevent it from being coveted by the worldly people."
"If benefactor agrees to this request of the monk, then the twenty-eight portraits of Fairy Qinghe will all belong to benefactor."
"Additionally, there is one token of trust from the monk, this treasure can assist the benefactor in defeating demons…"
The Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor was exceedingly forthright with the terms and extended his opened palm, as if passing the Buddha Beads in his hand.
It seemed that if Li Muyang agreed, he was even willing to give a Magical Treasure.
Faced with such a proposition, Li Muyang hesitated slightly.
Should he accept the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor’s offer?
It felt like battling Miao Fengjun would be extremely difficult…
But the Buddha Beads in Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor’s hand were tantalizing to Li Muyang.
He vaguely remembered that these Buddha Beads in Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor’s hand were a powerful Divine Artifact with special Divine Power…
However, before Li Muyang had time to hesitate, at the moment the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor offered the Buddha Beads, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly reacted.
A system prompt popped up in Li Muyang’s field of vision.
[Special Item: Four Noble Roots can be condensed]
[Do you wish to condense this item?]
[Yes/No]
[Note: After condensing the Four Noble Roots, a special game—[Buddha’s Heart Demon]—will be unlocked]
```
...
The system notification in his vision left Li Muyang stunned for a moment.
Fuck?
These Buddha Beads can actually be condensed into a system item?
Truly a Divine Artifact.
And it can even unlock a new game?

No question about it, Li Muyang wouldn’t miss out.
He took the Buddha Beads from the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor’s hands and said, "Buddha Ancestor, worry not, Miao Fengjun and I are irreconcilable."
"Once I have settled affairs here, I’ll go and slay Miao Fengjun!"
After receiving the Buddha Beads, Li Muyang immediately chose to condense them.
Then, a long condensation progress bar appeared in his sight.
The Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor who had handed over the Buddha Beads also laughed heartily and moved aside, pointing behind him to the temple.
"... Benefactor, please take away Fairy Qinghe’s portrait."
Li Muyang did not expect the boss battle to be cleared in such a peculiar way.
But no matter what, he got Little Wild Grass’s portrait, and even snagged twenty-eight of them at once!
When he obtained these twenty-eight portraits, Li Muyang immediately closed the game and opened his eyes in the real world.
With a single thought, one after another lifelike Little Wild Grass statue appeared beside him.
—Just like before, items from the game could be brought back to reality!
After confirming this point completely, Li Muyang finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the lifelike statues of Little Wild Grass beside him, Li Muyang showed a smile on his face.
"... I will definitely collect all your statues and resurrect you!"
After carefully storing the statues back into the system backpack, Li Muyang logged back into the game and entered the Earth Buddha Temple.
But within the empty and dilapidated temple, the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor was nowhere to be seen.
He departed after relinquishing twenty-eight statues, having vanished to who knows where, completely disappearing from Li Muyang’s view.
Only on the walls of the temple were two lines of newly written Buddhist verses left behind.
"...Whether in action or at rest, speaking or silent, active or still, is it not all emptiness?"
"How many lifetimes have we been born, and how many have we died, throughout the ages, hasn’t it always been thus?"
Looking at the Buddhist verses left on the wall, Li Muyang was utterly perplexed.
"What does this Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor mean by leaving these two lines of text?"
These divine Buddhist beings are fine and all, but this one thing, not speaking plainly, annoys Li Muyang to no end.
Can’t you just say what you mean directly?
Must you be so cryptic...
Looking at the desolate and abandoned temple behind him, Li Muyang called out several times, but after receiving no answer, he knew the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor would not meet him anymore.
Perhaps the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor had already left this place and moved on.
The footprints left by the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor could vaguely be seen outside the temple gate.
The one thing Li Muyang was certain of was that the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor’s remnant soul had not extinguished.
If the remnant soul of the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor had perished, then this temple, too, would follow the fate of the Tree God Country and be buried by sand and wind.
But as Li Muyang left the Earth Buddha Temple, the temple behind him still stood tall and unyielding amid the sand and wind.
He didn’t stay any longer, carrying Little Wild Grass’s twenty-eight statues towards Fuyun City.
Although the Buddhist verse left by the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor puzzled him, Li Muyang decided not to dwell on it, planning to ask the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor in person next time they met.
Amid the sandstorm, Li Muyang made his way towards Fuyun City.
Meanwhile, in reality, within the hidden swamp where Li Muyang had closed his eyes, a monk with a big head and a beaming smile rose from the muck.
On his back grew an aggressive centipede.
