Chapter 610
Refining the Power of Incense
That's your opinion.
Zhao Zhirou shook her head. "You don't need to say anything. You can either find someone else in the clan."
“We have many people of our own kind, why must we choose me?”
Why won't you listen to advice?
"How can we let the good stuff go to outsiders?"
Zhao Tianlei said angrily, "He's so hopeless."
"Big brother, that's enough."
"I'm going to start cultivating."
Zhao Zhirou gave a soft snort and interrupted their telepathic communication.
Zhao Tianlei, meanwhile, was sulking on the deck.
"Why won't this child listen to advice?"
He couldn't help but shake his head.
"Young master, this cannot be forced, but we must act immediately."
"If we can put them together, there's still a chance."
Wang Haoran chimed in from the side.
"Yes, you're right."
"Have all the troops been arranged?"
Zhao Tianlei thought for a moment before speaking.
"Everything has been arranged. We can start as soon as we arrive."
Wang Haoran stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Okay, this time we absolutely cannot fail again."
"Otherwise, we'll have made a wasted trip."
Zhao Tianlei looked ahead and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Wang Haoran looked serious.
Zhao Tianlei then turned his gaze to the direction of the cabin.
This is where Ning Qi is located.
At this moment, he was cultivating in the Sumeru Courtyard, continuously integrating the formations here with Ruoshui Sanqian.
In the end, this formation was completely integrated with his Ruoshui Sanqian.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and looked into the courtyard: "How much time has passed?"
"Master, judging by the flow rate here, half the time has already passed here."
"Or rather, more than half."
Yao Ling thought for a moment and then said seriously.
He didn't actually know how much time had passed.
But intuitively, I feel that quite a bit of time has passed.
"Hmm, I feel like I've already mastered about half of it."
Ning Qi nodded, then looked at the array light screen: "I have also comprehended the array here."
"That's great, we can also set it up in our Sumeru space."
Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling immediately jumped up and down with joy.
His eyes were filled with excitement.
No one expected that Ning Qi would comprehend the formation so quickly.
"That's right, now it's up to Shi Xiaokun."
Ning Qi nodded and looked away.
“Master, I am ready as well.”
Suddenly, Shi Xiaokun's voice came from behind.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly appeared in Ning Qi's sea of consciousness in a flash.
"You've got it sorted out too?"
Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling immediately widened her eyes.
"Yes, it was a few days faster than I expected."
Shi Xiaokun nodded and responded.
His eyes were filled with a mixture of solemnity and joy.
"Alright, can this array be used within our inner realm?"
Ning Qi became interested immediately upon hearing this.
A pair of eyes smiled as they looked at Shi Xiaokun.
“Master, that’s possible, but we’ll have limited resources at the beginning.”
"It can only be set up in a certain area. If your strength breaks through to the level of a Golden Immortal, Master."
"Then we can set it up within the boundary."
Shi Xiaokun nodded and then analyzed, "However, now that this place has been integrated, Master, you can come to our inner world to break through."
"We don't need to worry about tribulations when we break through within our inner realm."
“Here, we are the masters of this place, and we can deceive the power of Heaven.”
"Oh? Is that a good thing?"
Ning Qi hadn't expected that the refined inner world could actually avoid the lightning tribulation.
"Yes, Master, we can come in and give it a try."
"I feel that the incense power here can help you break through to the Golden Immortal level."
Shi Xiaokun nodded seriously and took the initiative to open their Sumeru Space directly.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
"However, if it takes a long time and I haven't made a breakthrough by the time they come to me, it might arouse their suspicion."
Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say something.
“Master, don’t worry, there is a time difference between our inner world and the outside world.”
"What is one day outside is about five days here."
"This amount of time is sufficient."
Shi Xiaokun said with a smile, "Moreover, there is also the blessing of your own formation, Master. So, all you need to do is control a small area."
"Then we can transform this place into a place where we can investigate and differentiate ourselves from the outside world."
"Yes, Master, that's one way too."
Yao Ling clapped his hands and immediately understood.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Ning Qi nodded, then looked away.
He then went directly to his inner world.
When he arrived at this inner realm, the first thing he felt was a gentle breeze.
After the gentle breeze passed, Ning Qi clearly felt the change in the spiritual energy here.
In comparison, the spiritual energy here is much more abundant than in the realm where Xu Qingqiu resides.
He flew directly into the void and looked down at the area.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and rare and exotic plants and flowers grow everywhere.
Before the mountains, a rich spiritual energy was surging.
It looked like a fairyland.
“Master, this place is exactly the same as Buzhou Mountain back then.”
At this moment, Shi Xiaokun flew over and said.
"Good, not bad."
"But how did they manage to get people in here?"
"If you want to increase the number of worshippers, the mountains and rivers here alone are not enough."
"If someone could cultivate or pray for blessings, our incense offerings would only become more abundant."
Ning Qi looked around and then spoke.
“Master, that’s easy to do.”
“We have an opportunity. Let’s find a town or a few villages and bring in all the people there who have the talent for cultivation.”
"Furthermore, we don't need to worry about anything before anyone enters the area. Every plant and tree here, as well as the cultivation of spirit beasts, are born from the power of incense offerings."
"Especially after this first refining, the incense power here is at its peak."
"This opportunity, Lord Realm Master, allows you to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop."
Shi Xiaokun looked at Ning Qi and said with a smile.
"Alright, in that case, let's begin."
Ning Qi nodded, then turned his gaze to an open area below: "This is fine, I'll set up the formation."
"Slow down the flow of time here."
"it is good!"
After agreeing, Shi Xiaokun continued, "I will protect you!"
"I can too!"
Yao Ling also came over.
"Then let's begin."
As Ning Qi spoke, he flew down and quickly reached the ground.
Then, he took out some resources from his storage bag.
There are spirit stones, spirit marrow, and a lot of resources for setting up formations.
After he arranged them in an orderly manner, the prototype of a formation gradually appeared here.
After Ning Qi finished setting everything up, he circulated his immortal power.
"call!"
It suddenly shot towards this place, and in the blink of an eye, ripples appeared here.
There were also water ripples moving around, which was clearly an effect formed after Ning Qi integrated Ruoshui Sanqian.
"Buzz!"
However, just as he was about to succeed, a powerful shockwave suddenly erupted from the area. The entire formation began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Oh no, we're going to fail."
Seeing that things were going badly, Shi Xiaokun suddenly made his move.
As he unleashed his power, streams of immortal energy began to surge towards the broken formation.
"boom."
However, it ultimately failed.
As the place exploded, Ning Qi and Shi Xiaokun flew away.
We barely managed to avoid the fluctuations here.
"It failed."
Ning Qi sighed: "I didn't expect it to be this difficult. I had already figured it out, yet I still failed."
"Master, don't be discouraged, let's continue!"
"This time it will definitely work."
The spirit flew over and said encouragingly.
"That's right, don't give up!"
Ning Qi nodded, then turned his attention back to the open space below.
Afterwards, they went down and continued setting up.
"Boom!"
"Buzz!"
"..."
Over the next few hours, fluctuations could be heard intermittently from this place.
And then there were surging, fiery rays.
"call."
Ning Qi sat on a huge rock and let out a long sigh.
"That's twelve times already."
Yao Ling was somewhat disheartened: "Is it really that difficult?"
A look of resentment appeared on his face.
They clearly didn't expect it to be this difficult.
"Yes, why is it so difficult?"
Shi Xiaokun also sighed; he hadn't expected this outcome either.
"This is too much of a waste of time. Why don't we just try to break through directly?"
Yao Ling thought of something and made a suggestion.
"I think we should try one last time."
"If that doesn't work, we'll just choose to break through."
Ning Qi thought for a moment, then said, "I refuse to believe it can't be done no matter what."
"Yes, let's try again!"
Shi Xiaokun clenched his fist and said, "I've looked at it enough, I can help."
"This time we're joining forces, and I'll make some arrangements."
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Ning Qi got up and then came to the open space where they had just set up the formation.
This time he focused all his attention.
They then continued setting up the formation here.
Shi Xiaokun helped him with the setup.
After a lot of work, they set up the formation once again.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and then focused all his attention on this.
Then he shot a burst of immortal power towards the formation.
"Om."
This time, Shi Xiaokun seized the opportunity and concentrated all his strength at the same time as he unleashed this burst of immortal power.
Maintain the key element of this formation.
It vibrated as it left the scene the instant it was hit.
However, thanks to Shi Xiaokun's protection, the place was not destroyed.
"Whoosh."
The next moment, a light screen began to surge out from the formation.
Like a waterfall, it surges outwards and then suddenly converges.
As the formation fluctuated, the area seemed to freeze in place.
"Success?"
Yao Ling watched everything happening here from a distance and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes, it worked."
Ning Qi nodded, then flew over.
Having landed within the formation, I observed the situation and sensed the changes: "Time has slowed down considerably. If I hadn't set it up, it would have almost stopped upon entering."
"Good, Master, we succeeded."
Shi Xiaokun also landed, smiling as he said, "Heaven helps those who help themselves."
"Great, we finally succeeded."
Yao Ling hopped over, her face full of excitement.
I never expected it to actually succeed.
"Not bad!"
Ning Qi smiled and looked ahead: "Then let's try to break through to the Golden Immortal level."
"Master, let me help you mobilize the incense offerings here!"
Shi Xiaokun stepped forward and continued.
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Ning Qi had never used the power of incense before, but after hearing what he said, he immediately became interested.
He wanted to see what this so-called power of incense was all about.
"Okay! I'll begin!"
Shi Xiaokun nodded, and then began to circulate his immortal power.
Then it transformed into a net and spread out here.
The net explored further, gathering some of the smoke from the area.
"Is this the power of incense offerings?"
Looking at everything around her, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.
"That's right, this is the power of incense offerings."
"Now, we need to circulate them and stimulate all the meridians in our limbs."
Shi Xiaokun nodded, then concentrated all his power: "Master, you refine it, step by step!"
"it is good!"
Ning Qi nodded, then spread his arms wide, gathering all the incense energy here towards himself.
At first, it was just a few strands, but it gradually grew stronger over time.
Gradually, they turned into white pythons.
It began to converge into his body.
His body was gradually filled with it.
His skin also began to change, gradually turning from its initial color to a deep red.
Finally, filled with the power of incense, it turned black.
"Master, is he alright?"
Yao Ling, observing from a distance, couldn't help but ask.
"No, don't worry!"
Shi Xiaokun shook his head and continued to gather the explosive incense energy towards this side.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and felt the changes within his body.
At this moment, streams of incense energy began to fill his meridians.
It seemed as if it wanted to completely possess every inch of his flesh and blood.
It made him feel like he was about to burst.
However, he did not give up, but gritted his teeth and persevered.
Every time he was about to burst, he would keep controlling himself.
Refine every inch of the incense's power and suppress it continuously.
However, in the end, every inch of his flesh and blood was filled with the suppressed power of incense.
"call!"
Ultimately, it erupted like a volcano, spiraling out of control.
His meridians exploded completely.
At this moment, he looked like a blood-soaked person, his skin began to fester and his flesh was mangled.
"Owner."
The spirit was very worried and quickly poured its life force into Ning Qi.
"Why is it so difficult?"
Shi Xiaokun frowned as he looked at everything before him.
Ning Qi's situation had clearly exceeded his expectations.
"What's going on? Did you deliberately harm your master?"
Yao Ling glared at him and questioned him.
"No, I don't know what happened either."
Shi Xiaokun shook his head. (End of Chapter)
