…
He took out a long wooden box from a long cloth bag. He opened the wooden box and a total of 12 incense sticks appeared in front of him.
"Spirit Gathering Incense, Soul Calming Incense, Soul Drawing Incense."
Each of the 12 incense sticks had a unique spirituality that was different from ordinary items. They were firmly locked in the incense sticks.
After thinking for a while, Ziyue took out a silver-white incense stick.
Soul Calming Incense!
Spirit Gathering Incense was used to recover one's mind. Soul Drawing Incense was used to attract ghosts and spirits. This Soul Calming Incense could be used during cultivation. He wanted to test its effects.
He inserted the Soul Calming Incense into the slits of the wood on the table. With a wave of his hand, a flame appeared in his hand.
This was not a spell. It was just a fire control method that he could use freely after he had reached the Perfection Stage of the Spirit Flame Technique.
Soon, the Soul Calming Incense was lit.
A faint greyish white smoke rose into the air.
With a light sniff, Bai Ziyue immediately felt his head lighten. The disappointment he felt from not being able to cultivate the Lightning Descend Art was quickly replaced by calmness.
His mind was calm, and his thoughts seemed to move a little faster.
"As expected, the incense sticks of the Burning Incense Path are unique."
Ziyue's eyes revealed a trace of admiration. Then, he quickly placed his thoughts on cultivation.
He began to cultivate the Heaven Binding Hands.
Previously, when his master used the Heaven Binding Hands, his hands were like ink. His control over the weapon and his method of transforming all kinds of force into force really made him gasp in admiration.
He naturally became more attentive to the Heaven Binding Hands.
When he started cultivating, he quickly felt that it was different from before.
Under the Soul Calming Incense, although his mind was calm, his thoughts were quite active. When he cultivated, all kinds of inspirations were stimulated and stimulated.
This allowed him to be in a thoughtful and enlightened state at all times.
Unknowingly, when he used the Heaven Coiling Hand, his hands were like illusions, and his body was like a nimble ape, agile and natural. When the final force burst forth, the air exploded, and it only gradually dissipated after rushing a full meter away.
Immersed in cultivation, Ziyue seemed to be unaware of the passage of time. Almost in the blink of an eye, the Soul Calming Incense had burned out.
In a trance, Ziyue finally stopped.
"A Soul-Calming Incense needs an hour to burn out, which is one hour.
As for the effects … "
Ziyue glanced at the ashes on the table before looking at his Attribute Panel.
"Spend 954 points of Spirit Energy to upgrade Heaven Binding Hands to Small Success!"
Ziyue did not choose to level up, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He did not know when it started, but the Attribute Panel seemed to have evolved. It was no longer like before, where it directly consumed the maximum amount of Spirit Energy to upgrade a martial skill. Instead, it was based on the actual situation of the martial skill he was cultivating, and it would indicate how much Spirit Energy he needed to upgrade it.
Heaven Binding Hands required 1,000 Spirit Energy to upgrade from Beginner to Small Success. Currently, he only needed to consume 954 Spirit Energy. In fact, compared to before, he had already saved more than 40 Spirit Energy.
It had to be said that this method of measurement made it much more convenient for him.
At the same time, it also allowed him to clearly sense the progress of the martial skill he was cultivating.
"According to normal cultivation, I can reduce the consumption of Spirit Energy by five to six Spirit Energy in an hour of Heaven Binding Hands, which is equivalent to reducing one Spirit Energy every ten minutes.
But this time, the Soul Calming Incense has decreased by 12 Spirit Energy, which is equivalent to directly doubling my cultivation speed. "
A glimmer of light appeared in Ziyue's eyes.
He suddenly felt that he had underestimated the effects of the Soul Calming Incense.
The effect of doubling one's Spirit Energy was absolutely shocking.
If others were to know that there was a type of incense that could double one's cultivation speed, they would definitely go crazy.
"However, although the effects of the Soul Calming Incense are good, the price is too high. It's not something that anyone can afford.
It's fine to use it occasionally, but if I use it constantly, even if I use it in exchange for Glyphs, which is relatively more cost-effective, I still can't afford to use it. "
Ziyue muttered in his heart, feeling somewhat helpless.
A stick of Soul Calming Incense cost 30 Taels of Silver, and it only had an effect of one hour.
He reckoned that even his master, who was the honorable Sect Master and had a considerable net worth, wouldn't be able to afford such a huge expense.
However, through this Soul Calming Incense, he was looking forward to the effects of the Spirit Gathering Incense and the Soul Guiding Incense.
In the meantime, he took another look at the puppy's condition and saw that its complexion had improved a lot. Although it still couldn't move, its breathing was clearly much heavier than before. It wasn't like before, when it looked like it could die at any time.
He took another look at its wound and saw that the pus had become thinner. There were even some signs of recovery. He knew that its life was saved.
Next, it only needed to rest for a period of time and it would probably be able to move again.
After thinking for a moment, he took out another Cleansing Talisman.
In addition to the one he used after cultivating, this was the last Cleansing Talisman he had.
However, a single Hundred Fold Talisman was enough to cut out 32 pieces of talisman paper. With his skills, if it was just a Cleansing Talisman, there was almost no possibility of it being ruined. Thus, he didn't feel any heartache.
The azure light once again sprinkled down, and the puppy's pitch-black fur even faintly glowed.
At this time, Ziyue stood up, closed the courtyard door, and walked out.
He finally decided to go to the Scorching Sun Gang branch and exchange for the Internal Refinement Technique.
… …
As he walked along the street, he could hear discussions about how the Radiant Sun Faction had surrounded the Snake Demon and how the Ancient Rhyme Pavilion had been destroyed.
Occasionally, he would meet people from the government, but most of them were in a hurry. During this time, there were even disciples of the Scorching Sun Gang walking around.
"Brother Qin, Tong Lao, where are you guys going?"
Just as he walked to the entrance of the gang, Ziyue coincidentally saw Qin Shaoping and Tong Zhan in a hurry. He couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Brother Bai, you came at the right time. We were just about to look for you."
Qin Shaoping's eyes lit up when he saw Ziyue.
"What's the matter?"
Ziyue hurriedly asked.
"I'm sure you've heard about the destruction of the Ancient Rhyme Pavilion."
Seeing Ziyue nod, Qin Shaoping continued, "Early this morning, the Lord Guardian directly found the Sect Master and asked us, the Scorching Sun Gang, to cooperate with the government to arrest the people from the Ghost Head Stronghold who attacked the Ancient Rhyme Pavilion yesterday.
Furthermore, the contribution points given by the gang this time are extremely high.
Even if we only find an ordinary member of the Ghost Head Stronghold, we'll get 50 contribution points. If it's a small leader, a big leader, or even a leader of the Ghost Head Stronghold, we'll get even more.
Furthermore, we don't care if they're dead or alive. "
"The people from the Ghost Head Stronghold attacked in the middle of the night. Wouldn't they have escaped by now?
Furthermore, what's the reason for the government to make such a big decision? "
Ziyue's face revealed a trace of surprise as he asked.
The Ghost Head Stronghold was actually a taboo existence to the Qinghe Town's government.
A few years ago, when they tried to encircle and annihilate the Ghost Head Stronghold, they failed. After that, whether it was the government or the rich merchants who contributed the money, they all suffered terrible revenge.
Because of this, no one dared to suggest encircling and annihilating the Ghost Head Stronghold.
This was why the other party was so arrogant and dared to enter the town twice in three years to annihilate a sect.
"Hehe, it's different this time.
Today, the Qinghe Town's city gate wasn't opened at all.
All the entrances and exits of Qinghe Town are guarded by the government and our gang's experts. No suspicious person can easily pass through. "
As he spoke, Tong Lao's face revealed a trace of a strange smile as he said, "As for why the government made such a big decision, it's all because Wujiang County's new Registrar General, Lee Hoon Lord Li, is about to arrive at Qinghe Town.
It's said that he came this time to annihilate the nearby mountain bandits.
Now that such a shocking incident happened at this time and over sixty people were annihilated, it would be strange if the Town Guard didn't have a headache.
Furthermore, even we know that the Ancient Rhyme Pavilion is the property of the two sons of the Li Clan who were left outside. In other words, Lee Hoon Lord Li's family. Do you think that Town Guard Sir Yang doesn't know?
If he doesn't perform well at this time, he probably won't even be able to keep his official position. "
Hearing this, Bai Ziyue came to a realization.
Naturally, he already knew that Lee Hoon was one of the two sons of the Li Clan who luckily survived the annihilation. Now that the other party was an official, he naturally wanted to take revenge.
This wasn't only his intention, but also his filial piety.
If others knew that his parents were killed by bandits and he did nothing, then his position as the Registrar General would be shaken.
Therefore, annihilating the bandits became a necessity.
As such, the two sides had already reached a point where they would fight to the death.
No wonder the Ghost Head Stronghold would suddenly attack the Ancient Rhyme Pavilion in such a frenzy.
"Brother Bai, let's go quickly. If we're lucky, we'll have a great harvest this time."
Qin Shaoping suddenly lowered his voice and said.
With a thought, Ziyue knew that they must have found something.
However, he still looked at Tong Zhan with slight hesitation.
In their small team, Tong Zhan had always been in charge.
"Let's go. With just the two of us, it's not safe."
Tong Zhan naturally knew of Ziyue's concerns and hurriedly said.
"Alright then."
Only then did Bai Ziyue agree.
As for exchanging for the Golden Cicada Technique, he had to postpone it for the time being.
…
Qinghe Town's Wuxiang Harbor.
Idling loafers, street peddlers looking for ways to make money, thieves with dirty hands, wanderers, groups of beggars, and the poor local residents … This made the Wuxiang Harbor a chaotic place that normal people would not want to come to.
At this moment, Ziyue and the other two were walking on the tightly packed and narrow intersecting roads of the Wuxiang Harbor. They made many turns, which was enough to make anyone who came here for the first time feel dizzy.
However, Tong Zhan seemed to be very familiar with this place. He led them deeper into the harbor and did not come to any blockages.
Soon, the group arrived at the deepest part of the Wuxiang Harbor, outside a relatively spacious house.
"The person living inside is called Wang Laowu. He has been living here since seven years ago.
Outside, he's just an ordinary peddler, but very few people know that he actually has another name. "
Tong Zhan said softly.
"What name?"
Qin Shaoping asked curiously.
