"It seems like influencing others with one's thoughts does have many limitations," Yuan Ming thought to himself.
However, he did not give up and continued to try to influence Immortal Xuanhua over and over again, while also sensing the progress of Immortal Xuanhua's cultivation.
Immortal Xuanhua's cultivation had also reached the Qi Refining Peak, but the cultivation technique he practiced was quite diocre. It was only with the help of the purple Spirit Incense beside him that he could barely absorb spiritual power at the pace of the Biluo Skill.
Yuan Ming discovered that the purple Spirit Incense's effect on assisting cultivation was much better than that of the Qingxuan Incense, but he did not know what it was called?
If he could et Immortal Xuanhua this ti, he would definitely try to buy so. Of course, if he could find a way to get the refining thod, that would be even better.
Under Yuan Ming's repeated influence, the ripples in Immortal Xuanhua's Sea of Consciousness beca more and more intense, and soon he stopped cultivating and stood up.
However, Immortal Xuanhua did not leave the Stone Chamber but took out an old Beast Skin Book to browse, apparently trying to calm his mind.
Yuan Ming thought to himself that it seed Immortal Xuanhua had strong willpower, and it was not easy to affect his state of mind.
He wasn't in a hurry and continued to exert the influence on Immortal Xuanhua to leave the Stone Chamber. His attention also shifted to the Beast Skin Book, and he imdiately felt elated and stopped manipulating Immortal Xuanhua with his thoughts.
This Beast Skin Book was a classic on Incense Making, recording the thods for making various Spirit Incenses.
Immortal Xuanhua flipped through the pages quickly, and soon his gaze stopped at a certain spot.
Yuan Ming hastily focused his gaze there. The two pages recorded the thods for making three types of Spirit Incense, nad "Purple Mysterious Incense," "Red Butterfly Fragrance," and "Seven-step Immovable."
According to the description, he found that the "Purple Mysterious Incense" was indeed the purple Spirit Incense lit inside the room, which had a more significant effect in assisting cultivation.
He guessed that the Qingxuan Incense that Immortal Xuanhua brought out to sell must be the least powerful among this kind of cultivation-assisting Spirit Incense, and there were probably better ones than this Purple Mysterious Incense.
"Red Butterfly Fragrance" is a tracking Spirit Incense, as long as it clings to a target, there's no washing or changing clothes that could remove it.
This incense itself is odorless and must be combined with another special potion, applied inside the nostrils. The two combined can then detect a special scent, making tracking both secretive and convenient.
As for "Seven-step Immovable," he didn't need to read the introduction to know it was a type of seductive scent. Once an enemy was affected by it, they would fall to the ground after taking only seven steps. It was sowhat similar to the Poisonous Incense Yuan Ming had stumbled upon on his own, only more effective.
The materials and steps required to make these three types of Spirit Incense were quite intricate. Yuan Ming's own incense-making seed rudintary by comparison.
"This is what real Spirit Incense is all about," Yuan Ming couldn't help but sigh, then focused on morizing the thods.
With his photographic mory, he quickly morized the thods of making the three types of Spirit Incense, and then he tried to influence Immortal Xuanhua through his thoughts to continue browsing, hoping to see a few more Spirit Incense formulas.
However, Immortal Xuanhua's gaze was fixed on the thod for making Purple Mysterious Incense, pondering its essence. His focus was so intense that Yuan Ming's influence had no effect.
He soon put down the Beast Skin Book and went to an incense-making platform nearby, taking out various materials and beginning preparations. From the materials he had taken out, it seed that he intended to create "Purple Mysterious Incense."
"When I previously possessed the emperor and borrowed his enlightennt during his spell practice, I learned the Burning Explosion Skill in no ti. I wonder if comprehending his incense-making would yield a similar effect?" Yuan Ming pondered.
At this mont, Immortal Xuanhua had already prepared the preliminary work and began making incense. Yuan Ming watched intently.
Quite so ti had passed since this possession, and he was a bit anxious internally, silently praying that he could watch the entire process.
Because the thod for making Purple Mysterious Incense wasn't simple. It required not only ordinary incense-making skills but also the coordination of mana, blending many spiritual materials into one, which was far more challenging than making Black Incense. Although he had morized the thod, actually doing it would undoubtedly take ti to try. If he could directly experience it intuitively this ti, it would make future attempts much more efficient.
Fortunately, Immortal Xuanhua was clearly proficient in making Purple Mysterious Incense and quickly completed one stick. Yuan Ming also experienced the production process of Purple Mysterious Incense as if he was there himself.
Just as Immortal Xuanhua finished making the Purple Mysterious Incense and had yet to try it, Yuan Ming's ti for possession ended, and he returned to his own body in a daze.
"Speaking of which, learning to make incense through possession is not a bad thod. It's a pity it can only be done once every seven days, and the other party may not be making incense." Yuan Ming closed his eyes and recalled the making of Purple Mysterious Incense. It felt extrely familiar as if he had made hundreds of them already, understanding every detail of each step thoroughly.
Yet, this sensation was sowhat intangible, and he would need to try making Purple Mysterious Incense himself to have a deeper understanding.
Thinking so, Yuan Ming got up from his room in the inn and headed towards the south of the city.
He had been in this small city for two days and learned that fifty li to the south, there was a small workshop where much could be purchased.
Half a day later, he returned to the inn, locked the door, and waved his hand over the table.
A flash of white light swept across, and seven or eight pieces of spiritual materials appeared on the table, precisely the ingredients for Purple Mysterious Incense.
Yuan Ming took out his incense making tools and once again carefully recalled the entire process of how Immortal Xuanhua made the Purple Mysterious Incense before he began to make his own.
Before long, he had in his hand a stick of purple incense, the color and scent of which were nearly identical to the one produced by Immortal Xuanhua.
Yuan Ming took out an ordinary incense burner, lit the Purple Mysterious Incense, and then circulated the Nine Elents Technique to test its effects.
After a short while, he opened his eyes.
The Purple Mysterious Incense's efficacy in aiding cultivation was slightly less than that of Immortal Xuanhua's, but it was much better than the Qingxuan Incense, without a doubt a successfully made Spirit Incense.
Yuan Ming's cheeks flushed with excitent. That he had succeeded in making Purple Mysterious Incense on his first try suggested that his earlier guess was correct; the possession ability of the incense burner could help him learn spells, and similarly help him grasp incense making quickly, though of course, a bit of luck was needed too.
Thinking deeper, skills like alchemy, artifact refining, drawing talismans, and arrays could also be swiftly learned using the incense burner's possession ability.
The na of this incense burner was indeed befitting, for while others toiled a lifeti for their achievents, the incense burner could easily steal them, truly worthy of being called the "Stealing Heaven Tripod."
Yuan Ming got up and paced around the room. After a long while, he cald down.
Although the ability of the Stealing Heaven Tripod was astonishing, he always felt that he had not yet truly mastered this treasure and needed so ti to slowly explore the intricacies contained within.
What was most troubling him at the mont was ensuring he had truly evaded the pursuit of the Guangli Alliance and that he could safely return to Da Jin.
"If I could break through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, many problems could be readily solved. Unfortunately, I don't have much confidence yet," he thought.
With this in mind, Yuan Ming went to his desk and continued making Purple Mysterious Incense.
In the following days, he stayed in the small city, making Purple Mysterious Incense during the day and continuing to cultivate the fourth layer of the Moonlight Technique at night.
Seven days later, the incense burner was restored. L ove t$h$i-s s!to@ry? S.how sup.p%o*rt at *.$
Yuan Ming lit the Black Incense without delay, possessing Immortal Xuanhua once again.
To his surprise, Immortal Xuanhua was still in that dimly lit secret chamber making incense, only this ti it was not "Purple Mysterious Incense," but "Seven-step Immovable."
Yuan Ming naturally assud the role of an apprentice and observed the making of "Seven-step Immovable" from the most direct perspective.
Immortal Xuanhua was adept at making "Seven-step Immovable," seemingly pondering sothing while casually producing them, and in just a quarter of an hour had already made two sticks.
Having witnessed the full process twice, Yuan Ming's understanding of the making of "Seven-step Immovable" surpassed that of the "Purple Mysterious Incense." He began to consider that after this possession ended, he would head to the workshop to purchase the materials and try his hand at it.
Immortal Xuanhua did not continue to make a third "Seven-step Immovable" but instead fell silent for a while before taking out the Beast Skin Book. He turned to the last page, his eyes emitting a fervent glow.
Yuan Ming noticed Immortal Xuanhua's unusual behavior and curiously looked over. The last page of the book also recorded a formula for Spirit Incense, but there was only one kind, nad "Foundation Establishnt Incense."
Yuan Ming's heart skipped a beat, and just as he concentrated on seeing it more clearly, endless darkness engulfed him, his consciousness plunging into chaos.
When he regained consciousness, he was back in his own body.
Yuan Ming suddenly stood up from the bed, his eyes shining with excitent as he felt quite stirred.
Although he had not seen the formula for "Foundation Establishnt Incense" clearly just now, he had caught a glimpse of so of its effects. According to the description, this incense, true to its na, was an aid for Foundation Establishnt, and its effects were quite good, potentially increasing the success rate by about twenty percent.
If it were an ordinary thod to assist Foundation Establishnt, Yuan Ming might not have paid it much attention, but Spirit Incense was different. His Stealing Heaven Tripod had the effect of activating Spirit Incense, so the twenty percent increase in Foundation Establishnt success rate provided by Foundation Establishnt Incense, when agitated by the Stealing Heaven Tripod, would likely be even more significant.
"This is surely heaven aiding . If I could obtain this incense and combine it with the assistance of a Foundation Establishnt Pill, as well as my foundation at the Qi Refining Thirteen Layers, my chances of success would greatly increase!" As Yuan Ming ca to this realization, he involuntarily clenched his fists tightly.
After sitting quietly in his room for a while and allowing his emotions to settle completely, Yuan Ming set out towards the workshop to purchase materials for making "Seven-step Immovable."
In the days that followed, Yuan Ming attempted to possess Immortal Xuanhua once every seven days to check on his whereabouts.
Yet, Immortal Xuanhua seed spellbound, staying in the secret chamber the entire ti. He spent most of the ti cultivating, with the remaining ti spent making Spirit Incense.
Unfortunately, after that glimpse of the "Foundation Establishnt Incense," Immortal Xuanhua never looked again at the descriptions of this incense and did not truly refine it, even under Yuan Ming's repeated ntal influence.
This made Yuan Ming anxious; after all, the incense ashes he had obtained from the Liu Xin Sect were very limited, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Fortunately, in his last possession, he very coincidentally discovered the location of Immortal Xuanhua: Ning City in Yue Country of the Eastern Domain.
