I became a saint in the game

Chapter 81 Walking Yinxiang

"Tsk tsk. How many people have been harmed by your death? Why don't you consider these immortals and try to live another life in the mortal world and reproduce your immortal style?"

Chen Shicheng lifted the red cloth, looked at the crack that went through the tablet, turned around and spoke sarcastic words to Mr. Hui Si.

How could Gray Fourth Master not know his little thoughts? He glanced at the incense burner in front of the tablet whose ash was about to overflow, then glanced at the simple furnishings in the room, and fell silent.

Too much is as bad as too little. Seeing that his words seemed to have worked, Chen Shicheng did not press on the victory, but waited quietly.

Soon, the old woman came out holding a wooden box of the same model as the one used by the Immortal Horse in Liantie Town, and placed it in front of Chen Shicheng. "It's all here, take whatever you like, I don't need it anymore."

She touched the faded box reluctantly, then opened the lid and turned to Chen Shicheng, motioning him to pick any one he wanted.

Different from the spirit medium in Liantie Town, there was nothing else in this mother-in-law's box, but it was neatly filled with various kinds of incense.

【Incense for offering to the gods:.】

【Soul-guiding incense:.】

[Concentrating Incense: A special medicine mixed with sandalwood that calms the mind and spirit, made with a special technique. Experience gained from practicing techniques is +20%.]

[Health Incense: It is specially made by mixing various spiritual medicine powders. After being ignited, it can slowly heal the injuries of the target within the range. ]

[Qi-replenishing incense: After lighting, all targets within the range will have their essence recovery speed increased by 50%. ]

[Exorcist Incense: Randomly dispel a debuff on the target, including but not limited to fascination, weakness, bleeding, and imprisonment.]

This old lady has quite a bit of stuff!
Chen Shicheng looked at the dazzling array of incense, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to pick them up.

"This one is good, this one is also good, I want this one too!"

He also didn't expect that there are so many types of incense. Not only can there be some for healing, but there are also some for restoring vital energy. What's even more outrageous is that there are also some that can dispel negative states.

These incenses are almost as effective as elixirs in function, but are not suitable for use in combat.

According to the description, these incenses do not seem to distinguish between friend and foe after use. As long as they are within the effective range, they are effective on all targets.

Moreover, the duration of its effect is very long, almost the same as the speed of burning incense, and it can only be used to restore the condition after the war, which also greatly reduces the value of the incense.

"Oh my god! Can you make this kind of incense?"

Chen Shicheng exclaimed and took out a stick of black incense from the bottom of the box.

[Yin-walking incense: Made from a hundred-year-old locust tree mixed with Yin-attributed materials, it can allow the body to enter the underworld after being lit. Before the incense burns out, it can protect the body from being invaded by ghosts. When returning to the human world, the body can appear at will in a city god temple within a certain range.]

In this game, there is a teleportation array that allows you to travel back and forth between cities without spending any money.

If one wants to go far away, ordinary people rely on walking, masters rely on flying, and people like him who are neither too far nor too far away rent a mount to travel.

Of course, it’s not to say that there aren’t things like teleportation arrays, but that kind of array that can teleport living beings doesn’t mean that one can just close their eyes and open them and arrive at the other end unharmed.

The teleportation array is opened using an extremely violent method, and only cultivators above the Jindan stage can resist that kind of spatial pull.

Moreover, in order to open the teleportation array, more than a dozen cultivators at the Jindan stage or above must output true energy at the same time to maintain the space channel.

Therefore, whether in terms of practicality or economy, the teleportation array is not a popular way of traveling. Only the Dayu royal court or famous sects will use the teleportation array in emergencies.

But now, a piece of incense that did not require too many resources to be transmitted to the nearby City God Temple suddenly appeared in front of Chen Shicheng. How could he not be surprised?

Although going to the underworld is also accompanied by great dangers, compared with the teleportation array, it can be completely ignored.

"Fourth Master, did you teach me this?"

Chen Shicheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mr. Gray on his shoulder, but he found that it was also looking at the incense in his hand with surprise, as if it was even more surprised than he was that the old woman could make this kind of incense.

"I didn't teach you that. I only know how to make incense for worshipping gods." Gray Fourth Master used his spiritual sense to transmit his voice, "It seems that this kind of incense is only made by temple priests of the City God family. But as the gods and immortals disappeared, it should have been lost!"

"Who are you talking to? Fourth Master?"

The old woman followed Chen Shicheng's gaze and looked over his shoulder, but found nothing.

But soon, she seemed to understand something, and looked at Chen Shicheng with a knowing expression, "You are not a spirit medium. And the Fourth Master..."

Chen Shicheng smiled awkwardly, "I'm just talking to myself. It's an old habit. Don't mind it."

"It's good to talk to yourself. It's good to have someone to talk to." The old woman looked at Chen Shicheng with satisfaction. No, to be exact, she looked at his shoulder and asked, "You seem to be very interested in this kind of incense used for Yin?"

"Yes, I am indeed interested." Chen Shicheng said honestly.

"This is a craft passed down from my ancestors, but since the immortals have disappeared, no one can use it now. This Yinxiang is the only one left."

The old woman pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to learn?"

"Me? Can I learn?"

Chen Shicheng pointed at himself in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, there is nothing that I can't learn. I can't let these inheritances be buried with me in the coffin." The old woman said with a smile.

"Learn, I want to learn!"

Fearing that the old woman was just acting on impulse, Chen Shicheng quickly agreed, and at the same time, he said loudly without looking away, "As expected of a spirit medium from the Gray Fourth Master's hall, this traditional skill should be passed down. Burying it in the soil is a blasphemy and a crime!"

He deliberately emphasized the three words "Master Gray Fourth", and it was obvious to whom he was speaking.

Mr. Hui Si could understand the hidden meaning in his words. He took two steps to the side in disgust and looked at the old woman's trembling back with some sadness, wondering what she was thinking.

Soon, the old woman came out with a handwritten book and placed it in front of Chen Shicheng solemnly, "Take it, child, study the contents carefully, and take good care of yourself."

The old woman's words were a little vague, and Chen Shicheng's attention was completely attracted by the handwritten book in front of him, so he didn't pay any attention to what she said.

Only Mr. Hui Si, who had been looking at the old woman, was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but glance at the mask on Chen Shicheng's face, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"Well, mother-in-law, aren't there jade slips that point to certain things? For this kind of handwritten books, you need to study them by yourself to learn them, right?" Chen Shicheng picked up the book and read it over and over again. He asked in confusion without waiting for the system prompt.

"It's good enough that you have something to learn, but you're still picky!" The old woman rolled her eyes at Chen Shicheng in annoyance, "It's not easy to pass down this book, and even so, many methods of making incense have been lost. There are only a few left. You can decide for yourself."

"Yes, with your comprehension, you can even comprehend that formation in a short time. This method of making incense should be easy for you." Mr. Hui Si seemed to be fed up with Chen Shicheng's picky look, and couldn't help but send a message to him through his spiritual consciousness.

Chen Shicheng glanced at Mr. Hui Si without saying anything, then picked up the handwritten book and prepared to read its contents.

But before he could even take a glance, the old woman started to chase him away, "When you get old, you tend to get sleepy. Well, it's getting late. Take these incense sticks and leave quickly."

It’s indeed getting late.

Looking at the bright sunny weather outside, how could Chen Shicheng not understand that the old woman's meaning was no different from serving tea to see off guests.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I want all these incense sticks. How much are they in total?"

"No need for money, I am alone, what do I need so much money for? Go, go!"

Before Chen Shicheng could finish his words, the old woman stood up and walked into the house without even looking at the box full of incense on the table, as if she had no desire to leave at all.

"Hey, what a sin!"

Chen Shicheng looked at Mr. Hui Si with disdain, put the box into the storage compartment, then took out a handful of silver coins and quietly placed them on the table before leaving the thatched hut.

It's not that he didn't want to give more. A box of incense with different functions and that handwritten book could definitely not be bought with money. But for such an old mother-in-law, too much money is not a good thing.

After leaving his mother-in-law's courtyard, Chen Shicheng did not rush back to the gathering place immediately. Instead, he found a deserted place, took out the handwritten book on incense making and began to read it.

Ignoring the previous incense-making techniques and introductions to various types of incense, he turned directly to the page that interested him the most.

【Yin-walking incense: Take appropriate amount of Sophora japonica, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Polygonatum odoratum, and the shell of a spiritual old turtle (the older and more spiritual the above materials are, the better the effect of Yin-walking incense will be). Grind all the materials into powder for later use. Collect a small amount of water from the five dragons in the well, the mixed dew water where yin and yang meet, the long-flowing water in the river, and the water of the five ghosts who have drowned people in the river. (If there is spiritual water or spiritual wine, the effect will be better.)】

[Production method: Select a Yin month, Yin day, and Yin time to mix Sophora japonica powder with an appropriate amount of Five Ghosts Water to make a paste, add an appropriate amount of old turtle shells and rub them into a thread shape, find a very Yin place to bury it, and take it out after drying in the shade. ]

[When using it, you need to be in the City God Temple (if there is no temple nearby, you can make your own Yama statue.) You need to take a bowl of old rice, insert the Yin incense into it, and then recite "One spray will split the sky, two sprays will crack the earth, three sprays will injure people, and four sprays will destroy all ghosts! I obey the order of the Supreme Lord Laozi!"]

"????"

What kind of description is this, so abstract?

Chen Shicheng stared in amazement at the quantifiers such as "appropriate amount" and "a little" in the incense-making method, and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Although there are diagrams on the side, the freehand ink painting style makes it impossible to tell how much material is used. If you want to successfully make a qualified Zou Yin incense, it seems that you still need to improve your incense-making skills to a certain level first, and then add appropriate materials based on experience.

But even so, Chen Shicheng estimated that it would take many experiments before he could master the specific method of making Zou Yin Xiang.
