The shop owner was thrilled, thinking he'd fleeced a wealthy customer.
Xu Yun, on the other hand, was thrilled that he'd scored a major find.
He didn't tell Xino about it. After buying the item, he just casually slipped it into his pocket.
He planned to give the jade to his mom later for her to wear.
After grabbing a bite to eat in town at noon, the two of them headed to Lingyin Temple on Feilai Peak to burn incense and pray.
Xu Yun wasn't a believer, but he couldn't refuse Xino's insistence.
So he went with her.
As soon as they entered the temple, a monk sitting before the Merit Box rose, pressed his palms together, and addressed them. "Benefactors, I can see from your faces that you have an affinity with the Buddha. Might you be willing to accumulate some merit for yourselves?"
"I'd say everyone has a connection to the Buddha—a monetary one!"
Xu Yun couldn't help but chuckle. "But I don't have any cash on me, so my connection with your Buddha Lord must be quite poor."
