Chapter 133 Teaching Spells
Incense.
Incense burner!
Heavenly purple energy!
For a moment, Chen Sansi felt somewhat unsure of how to assess the situation.
Setting aside the matter of the incense energy still present in the world, the main question was why an establishment as small as Ci Yun Temple would possess a treasure capable of gathering purple energy?
What was it used for?
If it was for enhancing cultivation, how come there was only one at Hua Jin Perfection?
Assuming the temple master who traveled outside was in the Meridian Passage Realm, wasn't that still too low?
After analyzing, there were only two possibilities.
Either the incense had just started being collected recently.
Just like Chen Sansi, who held the Immortal Treasure, but due to the short time, had not yet achieved a high level in the Martial Arts Realm.
Or, the burner wasn't theirs to begin with!
Not everyone knew Qi Observation Skill, or had a way to sense the different energies of heaven and earth. For this reason, even if the incense burner was here consuming the incense, the Taoists of Ci Yun Temple might have no idea about it.
As to which possibility it could be, it remained unknown.
Chen Sansi scrutinized carefully.
The bronze incense burner's surface was unexpectedly engraved with unknown ferocious beasts, mouths wide open, greedily consuming the incense that should belong to the divine statue — eerie, greedy, unworldly.
"This thing could likely withstand the Abnormal Fire!"
His heart was moved.
But ultimately, it wasn't his possession.
If Ci Yun Temple knew of the incense matter, then they would definitely not sell it.
If they didn't know, who was collecting the incense from behind the scenes? It was better not to try anything lightly without absolute certainty of remaining undetected.
Moreover, the most important point was that Ci Yun Temple had not provoked him, so why take something that belonged to someone else?
Mixed thoughts mingled, eventually all suppressed.
He would make do with the Mystical Weapon Furnace for now; perhaps it would work.
"Brother Shi, come offer a prayer too~"
Gu Xinlan beckoned, "It's good for the child."
"Yes, Mr. Chen."
Shao Yujing stood up after offering prayers, "The Immortal Path is profound; we must be sincere to have a chance in the future."
"Hmm."
Chen Sansi did not refuse.
If he did not pray at this time, it would appear odd.
Through the Qi Observation Skill, he was in an active position; if someone observant noted anything unusual, he would be at a disadvantage.
He didn't act pretentious and performed the incense offering.
However...
Not a wisp of purple energy flowed from him.
He had never believed in deities or Buddha.
That wasn't a problem.
There were many insincere people at the scene; some bowed their heads with thuds but no purple energy appeared.
After offering prayers to the divine statue, Chen Sansi and his wife descended the mountain, not forgetting to take the Mystical Weapon Furnace and told the young Taoist to collect the silver note from Chen Mansion later.
Five thousand taels of silver notes, such a large amount, he wouldn't carry it around aimlessly.
Shao Yujing said, "Mr. Chen, if you are interested at the end of the month, you can come to listen to Real Person Qiu Mingzi speak about the Dao; it might help you in the future."
"Master Shao has personally extended an invitation; naturally, I must attend."
Chen Sansi did not refuse.
He was very interested in the matter of the incense, getting more excuses to visit might lead to new discoveries.
On the way home, Qian Xun came to escort.
Chen Sansi held Sister Lan in his embrace.
Qian Xun, apparently aware that the lady of the house was pregnant, moved with extra stability.
Passing through a bustling street, the big characters of Red Sleeve Tower were particularly striking.
The six-story building, apart from the last one, had dazzling women throwing flirty glances toward him, truly a tower full of beckoning red sleeves.
"Oh, has it just been a few days, Brother Shi, and you already miss this kind of place?"
Gu Xinlan noticed his gaze.
"No, I have serious business."
Chen Sansi shifted his gaze away.
Seeking Immortal Tower.
Most likely, someone was hiding inside Red Sleeve Tower, not that the whole brothel was the Seeking Immortal Tower.
The woman from a few nights ago, unknown how she was now.
But if even the Supervisor couldn't handle it, there was no use worrying about it.
Several more days until the Mentorship Ceremony; after meeting the Supervisor, he should be able to clear everything up.
Before that, he would continue to cultivate; whether the Mystical Weapon Furnace could withstand the Abnormal Fire needed to be slowly discovered, any major commotion at home not being noticed would be strange.
For four days straight.
Chen Sansi spent most of his time practicing Martial Arts besides accompanying his wife.
[Cultivation Technique: Unity Spear Technique (small achievement)]
[Progress: 1055/2000]
The proficiency progress had finally crossed half.
According to the current pace, he should achieve Great Success of Refining in two months.
Apart from that, these days people were still dying continuously within the Sect.
Just not as many.
"It's getting weirder and weirder."
Before he had the Qi Observation Skill, Chen Sansi was essentially blind, unable to pry into higher-level secrets.
Up until now, he increasingly felt that everything, seemingly separate, was interconnected.
Liangzhou, and perhaps even the entire world, might soon undergo dramatic changes.
"My lord, Mr. Sun is here."
Si Qin came to report.
"I know."
Chen Sansi got dressed with the help of Mo Hua in a new blue robe sewn by Sister Lan, habitually took his Big Bow and Reed Leaf Spear, along with the ZhenYue Sword at his waist, then boarded the carriage.
"The Mentorship Ceremony is about to begin."
Sun Buqi explained, "Today's schedule involves all the True Inheritors, Inner Sect, and Outer Sect disciples together, watching this year's new entry-level disciples perform rites, categorizing them into the Reserve Camp, then dividing their posts according to realm and Selected Point results."
"Reserve Camp?"
Chen Sansi asked.
"Yes."
Sun Buqi nodded, "The vacancies in the Eight Camps aren't enough, plus my father wants to expand the army, so we simply combined the disciples with the Liangzhou soldiers to form a Reserve Camp. After expanding, we'll select personnel from this batch of disciples for the newly established four camps."
