This is really incredible, the Xuanxin Country Lord has actually mixed into the Demon Dao?

"What are Wang Chengsi and the city patrol guards doing to eat, and those Dharma protectors are worshipping, don't you notice it?"

Thoughts flashed in Li Zhen's mind, but he was soon relieved.

"They are not immortals, at most they are just a group of monks, and they are also Qi Refining Realm cultivators. ”

Only then did he realize that it was not so much that eating incense and refining souls was his greatest reliance, but that this ability to smell incense and recognize people was.

Although sometimes you have to pay attention and can't take care of everything around you in time, when you get serious, you can reach a very deep level of perception.

This ability is so convenient to use to distinguish between friend and foe.

Li Zhen ignored the triumphant Xuanxin Lord, and thought to himself in his heart.

"This may seem like a mortal, but in any case, it is impossible for her to do such a thing alone, and there should be a mastermind behind it. ”

"Is it possible to follow the vine and find the hidden disciples of the Corpse Immortal Sect?"

When he returned to the mansion, Li Zhen did not tell anyone about this discovery, and even when the ninth princess asked, she only said that she had gone to her father-in-law's place to ask for some ordnance, money and food.

It wasn't until night that I visited the palace again.

It turned out that Na Mei Ji had a normal routine like the other palace maids, and did not show any abnormalities.

However, Li Zhen was not discouraged, because he guessed that this woman was a secret son who was not easily used.

While looking for a way for the other party to communicate with the outside, he began to enjoy the new batch of Xinling incense he made.

As a result, in just five days, all these improved incense products were successfully digested.

Not surprisingly, the power of divine thoughts successfully increased to about eighteen catties.

During this period, Li Zhen did not forget another thing, that is, to offer incense to show the ancestors the results of his efforts.

This time, in addition to the improved Xinling incense, the raw cloud incense that had been refined before was finally officially submitted by him.

This is a product that has been personally tested by the Ninth Princess and determined to be useful to the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm, and it should be of great value.

He is looking forward to receiving the necessary support.

......

Late at night, in a room in the Hanxiang Pavilion.

The Adamantite Flying Sword floats out of thin air, like an invisible arm lift.

Li Zhen held it up and down with his divine thoughts, and immediately slashed and stabbed.

Although his movements are a little sluggish, and his speed and strength are lacking, he is finally able to take Edgeworth seriously.

"It's a pity that it's a physical thing, and it's not convenient to carry around. ”

In the physical state, you may be able to get a magic weapon such as a sword bag, or carry it with you in other ways.

After the out-of-body experience, it became a problem that he could not carry this object.

But under normal circumstances, a monk in the realm of Jiedan would be able to open up a small cave in the Purple Mansion, connect the void, and contain some things that have been refined, and only mortals like themselves would have such troubles.

However, Li Zhen doesn't need this kind of thing for the time being, and when he cultivates to a high level in the future and has other supernatural skills, he may not necessarily rely on this kind of magic weapon flying sword that is not in the stream.

At the moment, I decided that it would be more convenient to cultivate skills such as the Gang Demon Sword and turn my own strength into sword qi.

After some attempts, Li Zhen put the flying sword back on the weapon rack, looked at the time, and it was almost time, and immediately flew out.

He came to the suburban palace again, drove inside, and secretly monitored Na Meiji.

This beauty is favored, has a small status, and does not mix with other palace maids and concubines, but in a separate room, which is convenient for Li Zhen.

The other party had already fallen asleep, and Li Zhen secretly observed for a while, and after confirming that he was not pretending, he began to wander around the room, sniffing everything around, trying to find clues related to the Corpse Immortal Sect.

But sniffing and sniffing, suddenly something felt wrong.

"Why do you seem to be very perverted......"

Slightly embarrassed, looking at the underwear hanging on the wooden shelf in front of him, Li Zhen finally did not come up, but relied on his strong perception ability to distinguish out of thin air.

Sweat, body odor, incense, soap, rouge gouache, mud dust, mold...... A lot of smells mingle in the mix.

Suddenly, a mixture of agarwood, jatamanta, angelica and other things came, which made Li Zhen, who was slightly impetuous because of embarrassment, feel uplifted, and his spirit was also vibrant.

"This is the smell of Xinling incense, and there is a Xinling incense hidden in the room?"

Li Zhen followed the fragrance in the induction, and found a few gossamers floating out under the pillow.

This kind of thing, he can be said to be very familiar, and he can even identify from the quantity and quality of the fragrance it exudes, which is a first-class Xinxin spiritual incense produced by his own Li Family's Xiangfang No. A factory.

Tianyun Sect designated the Xinling incense made by Li Zhen himself as a special product, and the imitations made by other craftsmen and apprentices ranged from one to three grades.

The first-class product is considered to be a finished product of relatively good quality, and it is also one of the tributes that the sect is trying to mass-produce now.

Last time, the ancestor instructed Li Zhen to focus his time and energy on the Soul Returning Incense, and no longer need to make the Soul Returning Incense himself, in addition to the Soul Returning Incense is indeed more concerned by the great monks, it is also because the skilled hands have been cultivated in the past few years, and the production process has made a great breakthrough, and the quality and output can be guaranteed.

There are quite a few dignitaries and nobles who come and go here, and there are not a few who have the ability to get mass-produced finished products, and over time, some may accumulate in the palace.

But Li Zhen really didn't expect that this Mei Ji would secretly hide this thing.

"What does she want this incense for?"

Li Zhen vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't catch the sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, and he was really a little confused.

It seems that the mystery is difficult to reveal until she sees her use it with her own eyes. ”

"But looking at her appearance, if nothing happens, she will not rush to contact the line. ”

"I can't say that I have to create some opportunities to stimulate her to take the initiative to contact. ”

Li Zhen thought about it for a while, and found that many schemes were time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, and prone to deviations, so it was better to be simple and rude, and use the spirit body to pretend to be a ghost and scare her.

Li Zhen quickly had an idea and began to prepare.

After a while, Mei Ji woke up a little confused and sleepy-eyed.

She felt like she had been pushed by someone a few times, woke up from her sleep, and came back to her senses, but she was suddenly startled.

The lights and candles in the room were lit at some point, and a figure stood at the head of the bed, looking at her condescendingly.

"There is an inner ghost, terminate the transaction!"

This sound was generated by Li Zhen's use of the small method of refining the qi realm to shake the air, and it was essentially no different from those wind and thunder sounds in nature, but he had not yet mastered this method, so it sounded slightly distorted.

Maggie didn't pay attention to this detail, because she was still a little confused, and suddenly she saw a strange figure appear at the head of the bed, and she was even more startled.

When he came back to his senses, the figure was gone.

"Is this a dream?"

Mei Ji oozed a lot of cold sweat on her forehead, and whispered secretly.

But when I looked closely, the lamp and candle on the table were still on.

It's not a dream or a hallucination, it's something that is happening!

Someone sneaked into the room, said it to their own face, and then disappeared into thin air!

This strange scene frightened her and completely sobered up.

"Who are you?"

"Are you still there?"

Of course, Li Zhen is still there, but he has reversed the change of the mirage cloud and returned the figure to nothingness.

If you say too much, you will lose, he is not good to show up to communicate with him now, and what the scene just now means is up to her own imagination.

The trembling voice asked a few words, but there was no response at all, and she didn't dare to shout loudly, attracting attention, Mei Ji's face couldn't help but turn even paler, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Huddled in the quilt and observed for a while, but nothing happened, so I cautiously walked down and checked the doors and windows in the room.

The plugs were intact and in place, not as if they had been opened from the outside.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally made a move that satisfied Li Zhen, that is, she searched out the brocade box from under the pillow, and after opening it, the slender brown and yellow sticks were revealed.

"The Xinling incense she used was actually processed?"

When Li Zhen saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This is no longer the original product produced by Xiangfang, but after being melted and transformed into a new product of stick incense.

This is the usual worship of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods or ancestors used by the ancestors, with a thin wooden stick as the core, made into a stick, easy to hold and insert, according to the thickness of the length, each has its own weight.

Li Zhen briefly inspected it visually, and there were a total of more than a dozen sticks in it, which was about the same as the weight of one ingot of spiritual incense.

"What is she going to do?"

Li Zhen was a little puzzled, and watched Mei Ji take out an incense stick from the brocade box and light it with an oil lamp.

There has long been a sacrificial culture in Xuanzhou, worshipping heaven and earth, ghosts and gods or ancestors, and the etiquette of burning incense, candles, paper money, etc.

All kinds of sacrifices, funeral things, the materials used from gold, silver and jade to terracotta figurines, bamboo and wood are all available, truly realizing the rich variety, abundance and thrift.

But the belief in spiritual incense is a sacrifice to the gods, up to the spirit of the emperor, Li Zhen also uses it more to offer immortals, and he eats incense to refine the soul, and he really never thought of using it in other fields.

The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and after this Mei Ji lit the incense, she actually held the incense in both hands, bowed to the west, and bowed four times in a row, chanting words in her mouth, as if praying.

Li Zhen floated beside her, looking at this action, he was greatly surprised: "This is worshipping ghosts!"

"It's a mess to worship ghosts with spiritual incense!"

He looked at the woman's cloak, just wearing a dirty garment, and burned incense in the middle of the night to worship, without sincerity, and was simply speechless.

But she saw smoke curling up in the room, and as she worshipped, a ripple like a wave of water rippled in front of her.

Li Zhen was secretly shocked in his heart, and his mind searched the past, unnoticed, as if the ripples he had discovered before were hallucinations that only existed in his mind.

But when I used the fragrance smell talent to investigate, I could smell it again, and a strong smell similar to incense, candles, and paper money came to my face.

"What the hell is this?"

Li Zhen's heart seemed to have set off a stormy wave, and suddenly blessed his soul, using his ability to visualize the smell and manifest the fragrance to carry out a more nuanced exploration.

This time, he finally noticed a hazy figure appearing.

The figure didn't know what its identity was, and even whether it was a man or a woman, a god or a ghost, could not be distinguished, but it could only be confirmed that when the incense was burned, there seemed to be heat rising around it, and the void was distorted, forming a strange field.

This field seems to be in an extremely deep high-level dimension, connecting the room to some mysterious place in the distant unknown.

Li Zhen didn't hear Mei Ji's prayer, but as if instinctively, he sensed the vibration and change of those incense qualities and incense.

The void is vast, like a voice from the hollow valley: "Mysterious...... News ...... Terminate the transaction!"

"She's reporting what just happened?"

"Got it!" the figure that appeared out of thin air patiently listened to Perfect Ji's prayers, and did not see any instructions, but simply responded with three words.

In the blink of an eye, the smell of incense, candles, paper money, and money disappeared from the room, and the figure disappeared completely.

As the other party left, in the room, the heat rose and caused the void to distort, and the phenomenon of forming a strange field gradually calmed down, and everything returned to normal.

Mei Ji didn't seem to be able to judge the appearance and disappearance of the other party, and delayed for a long time, until the spirit incense in her hand was about to burn out, and then she woke up like a dream.

Li Zhen noticed that she showed a confused and uneasy look on her face, as if she was unwilling because the matter had not been resolved, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to take out the stick of incense again and pray again.

Li Zhen watched her extinguish the lights and lie down again, still tossing and turning, and couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Is it a god or a ghost that just appeared?"

"But in any case, in the world of cultivating immortals, the theory of gods and ghosts is the superstition of the foolish people, and those are just the cultivators' cultivation and the power of the Yang God Heavenly Immortals or the Ghost Immortals!"

"Before it was completed, it was an ordinary god and ghost cultivator, and it was just a side door!"

"However, what is the means of contacting each other by using the letter spirit incense to respond to prayers, and the faith spirit incense still has such an effect?"

Even Li Zhen himself didn't know about this, and the immortal masters of the Tianyun Sect had never mentioned it.

This should have been developed by those demons recently, if the immortal masters of the Tianyun Sect knew, they would have a higher evaluation of the value of the Soul Returning Incense, and they would not have made the decision to give priority to the study of the Soul Rejuvenation Incense and no longer have to care about the Faith Spirit Incense.

Li Zhen recalled the details just now: "The moment the other party appeared, I smelled a strong smell of incense, candles, and paper money, like the environment of ordinary people burning incense and lighting candles, and even some incense was overflowing, but the nature was far less flexible than the incense of Xinling incense, and it could not be absorbed and utilized." ”

"Does this mean that my previous speculation about the way of incense to become a god was correct, that there is something higher than the real material world in the void chaos, and that those incense spirits are not actually degenerating, but reaching here?"

"If I can master this method of prayer and response, and even open the passage and draw the incense, does that mean that I can absorb the incense that is burned when others pray and worship?"

His thoughts were flooding, and he thought of many, many at once.

"There's a lot to dig up here......"
