Any monk would want such a Dharmic treasure!

Back when he read Journey to the West in his childhood, he had said to Zen Master One Finger, "If I ever get such a kasaya, I'll definitely make it known. I'll definitely show it off!"

But now, with Fangzheng reaching adulthood, he was no longer afraid of demons. He had the System and naturally set his sight on getting a kasaya once again. Yet he didn't buy or make one, and one of his reasons for that was his hope for this day⁠—the day he could get this kasaya from the System.
