Chapter 12651

This battle of divine equipment is still within our control, but if something else uncontrollable happens next time, it will be troublesome.

Potential problems must be nipped in the bud.

Confucius was speechless for a moment.

The moment Lin Yi asked the question, he already knew the outcome.

Lin Yi made his final choice out of concern for his own safety, and even if Confucius was highly respected, he had no right to stop him.

Ultimately, Confucius does have some influence with Lin Yi, and Lin Yi will usually grant his requests, but his influence isn't quite that great.

"Since that's the case, then I won't try to persuade you any further."

Confucius gestured to Kong Qianqiu and said, "Take it out."

Kong Qianqiu said "Oh," and then took out a Vajra pestle.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

This vajra is only forty centimeters long, quite small in size. However, its body is made of Bodhi wood struck by lightning as its core, wrapped with Milky Way Star Iron, and engraved with some kind of profound and unfathomable ancient mantras, making it extremely mysterious.

"Use your thoughts as the sharp edge, and your spirit as the blade."

Confucius introduced, "This Vajra Pestle is called 'Calming the Mind.' I brought it out of an ancient tomb years ago. It's of pretty good quality. Since you're going to have a duel with him, let it lend you a hand. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."

Lin Yi became increasingly strange.

So the old man has a dark history of being a tomb raider?
However, to be fair, the Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle in front of him was truly amazing. Even without the Martial Marquis Star Chart for appraisal, Lin Yi could tell at a glance that it was definitely a high-level divine weapon!
Not to mention in Tianjun, even in the open area of ​​the Divine Realm, high-level divine equipment is an absolute rarity.

"Isn't this...not good?"

Lin Yi clicked his tongue in amazement.

Regardless of the old man's past, his willingness to casually give away high-level divine equipment is enough to impress anyone.

Lin Yi, at least, believed he was far from being that generous.

Confucius waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's of no use to me anyway, so you might as well accept it as a favor."

Lin Yi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Confucius. I will definitely repay this kindness."

"If you put it that way, then this old man is really going to shamelessly ask you for a favor."

Confucius said solemnly, "After everything is settled, leave some incense for the lineage of the Emperor Saint."

Lin Yi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, this junior agrees."

Ultimately, he didn't harbor any deep hatred for the Emperor Saint lineage; it was essentially just a simple struggle for interests.

Once everything settles down and the other party loses its threat, Lin Yi would naturally not mind keeping the Emperor Saint lineage.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party has to be obedient.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Confucius immediately stood up and, before leaving, instructed, "I can help you delay the Ten Emperors' Edict for three days. You can change your mind at any time within those three days. Once the three-day deadline is up, the battle of divine equipment will officially begin."

"I understand, thank you, Confucius."

Lin Yi nodded.

Now that he has made up his mind, he will not easily change it.

After Confucius left, Lin Yi immediately began to seriously study the Mind-Stabilizing and Demon-Subduing Pestle in front of him.

"The Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle, a high-level divine weapon, cannot be synthesized."

"Divine Equipment Effect: Increases Yuan Shen strength by 25%, increases Dharma Aspect strength by 15%, increases Arcane Resistance by 10%, and comes with the active skill Mind Monkey."

"Mind Ape: Summons a Mind Ape composed of primordial spirit power, which can continuously launch spiritual attacks and is immune to all physical damage."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

Of all the divine equipment I've encountered so far, this is the only one that can amplify the primordial spirit, especially since it's a high-level divine equipment!

This alone makes it absolutely priceless.

As for the accompanying active skill, Mind Monkey, its specific strength cannot be determined at present.

But one thing is certain: such a summoned creature that is completely immune to physical attacks while being able to launch mental attacks is extremely troublesome for the vast majority of people.

Even top experts have weaknesses.

If there are no means of restraint in this regard, not to mention ordinary experts, even experts with a four-zhang Dharma Aspect or even a three-zhang Dharma Aspect could be worn down to death.

Of course, that situation is rather extreme.

Regardless, Confucius's move was truly extravagant. This Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle is undoubtedly a high-level divine weapon. Compared to it, Lin Yi's Phoenix Cry Blade can only be considered to have its own merits.

However, before he could rejoice for long, Lin Yi sensed something was amiss.

It was a rather subtle intuition.

From the moment he accepted the Mind-Soothing Demon-Subduing Pestle, this strange intuition had already appeared. However, Lin Yi initially thought it was the unfamiliarity of facing this high-level divine equipment that he had never seen before.

However, this strange intuition still lingers.

That's clearly not the case.

This strange and unfamiliar feeling not only appeared on the Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle, but gradually even spread to other divine equipment.

Warning signs are emerging.

Lin Yi immediately invoked the will of the world to conduct a comprehensive self-examination.

The World Will swept the Mind-Stabilizing Pestle back and forth ten times, delving into every minute detail, and finally discovered the problem.

Inside this Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle, there is an extremely fine layer of black pollution power, which, like vines, quietly seeps into other divine equipment along some subtle, invisible patterns.

"Pollution God-Tier Gear?"

Lin Yi's face darkened, and he immediately transferred all his divine equipment to the new world, completely severing all contact, leaving only the Mirage Pearl and the Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle together.

The other divine equipment is all of the highest quality, so naturally, none of it can be compromised.

However, this mirage pearl is merely a pretty face; it's just right for experimental observation.

After a moment, Lin Yi came to a conclusion.

"The effect of contaminating divine equipment is to downgrade it?"

Although the Mirage Pearl is only a basic divine equipment at the lowest level, it is still divine equipment after all. Now, under the corruption of the Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle, it is gradually falling out of the divine equipment ranking.

Lin Yi felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Fortunately, I was alert enough to notice something was wrong immediately, and fortunately, I had the power to use the World Will as a cheat code; otherwise, by the time I realized what was happening, all my divine equipment would have been destroyed.

Three days later, they will have another showdown with the Emperor's decree, and the outcome is predictable.

"Are you playing Trojan Horse with me?"

Lin Yi rubbed his fingers together, his expression somewhat complicated.

Judging from the information available, Confucius clearly sided with the imperial edict, even while suffering from illness, to carry out this conspiracy on his behalf.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Lin Yi naturally possessed this most basic common sense.

No one in the world would give away high-level divine equipment so easily.

If it were anyone else offering to give him a high-level divine equipment for free, Lin Yi would definitely think they were an idiot.

But the person who came was Confucius.

Not to mention that Confucius's lineage had shown goodwill to Lin Yi on several occasions before, Confucius's own persona alone was one of high moral character and prestige that was by no means a fake persona.
