A single Incense Guest could extend their life by three years!
Such a temptation was simply irresistible for these Monks. How many trienniums does a person have in their lifetime? Ten? Twenty? At most, just twenty.
Once a Monk sacrifices twenty Incense Guests to achieve immediate Buddhahood, he would gain sixty years of life!
Sixty years, oh!
How exaggerated is that?
It was precisely because of such a temptation, even if they knew that the so-called ritual of achieving Buddhahood might be problematic, they wouldn't expose it. After all... they could benefit from it.
"For the sake of this so-called longevity, just how many people have you sacrificed over these three years?" Yun Jiuqing asked angrily.
"... Not, not very clear." The Monk with an injury on his thigh shrank his neck and said weakly, "Maybe more than three hundred? Possibly more than four hundred? Anyway, definitely not more than eight hundred and ten."
