hum~
In the dark spiritual place, visualize your spiritual self sitting cross-legged, with wisps of gray or white light moving around your body like little snakes.

"Incense!"

Even though most of them were not at the first level and there were only two at the first level, Li Yuan's heart was shocked beyond words, because this was the incense that was born because of him.

It is guided by the method of worshiping gods.

“How can incense be created without burning incense or kowtowing?”

Li Yuan's mind moved, and he immediately put on a set of spiritual blessing gloves, including the Divine Fire Bone Tempering Ring. When another wisp of incense rose in the spiritual light, he noticed it keenly.

"Emotion, no, it's spirit!"

Li Yuan found that his brain was becoming more and more useful. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he had touched upon the real secret.

At this moment, there were at least several thousand people, including various gangsters, merchants and pedestrians inside and outside the long street, but he was sure that no one worshipped him as a god.

The reason why these incense sticks were born is that their spirits are all in themselves, and when they come out, there are huge fluctuations.

Envy, jealousy, gratitude, admiration, doubt, reluctance, fear...

"Intense mental fluctuations, coupled with the method of worshipping and visualizing the gods, gave birth to 'incense'? Is this thing really incense?"

The benefits of multitasking were reflected at this time. Li Yuan was shocked and thoughtful, but it did not prevent him from communicating with others.

But there were too many people greeting him at this moment, and he had no way to respond to them one by one. He could only bow in return and wait until no new incense was born in the Lingguang Land before returning to the carriage.

"Junior Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Fang Yunxiu was a little suspicious. In her opinion, Li Yuan should not like to be exposed in front of others. This was a little abnormal.

"With so many fellow warriors, it would be bad if I didn't come out and say hello."

Li Yuan evaded the question, his mind had already drifted to the place of spiritual light. As the noise around him faded away, he obtained a total of sixty-three incense sticks, only twenty of the first level, and two of the second level.

This one can ignite the Divine Fire Furnace once.

"Too."

Fang Yunxiu didn't hesitate. Seeing that Li Yuan seemed distracted, she closed her eyes and began to think about the sword technique she had just learned.

The sect selection is not far away, and she also wants to try to see if she can be promoted to an inner disciple.

"This incense seems to require spiritual fluctuations. The stronger the fluctuations, the faster the incense condenses and the higher the grade... Does it have anything to do with the level of martial arts? I guess it does..."

Li Yuan seemed to have discovered a new world. His mind was more active than ever. He sorted out and analyzed the principle of the birth of incense. The doubts that had puzzled him for a long time and no one had answered them seemed to be solved by himself.

"The violent mental fluctuations can be transformed into incense under the guidance of the worship method. As for whether other visualization methods can do the same, it is currently unknown..."

"In addition, it may also be related to one's own mental strength. At least, one must be able to sense the existence of incense..."

"It must be the mental fluctuations I caused, and it seems to exist within a certain range..."

Li Yuan murmured in his heart. He analyzed a lot of things, and many of his previous doubts suddenly became clear.

Why does every city have a temple? Why are the statues in the temples so ferocious? And there may be multiple identical temples in a city at the same time.

"The emotion that can cause other people's mental fluctuations the fastest and with the highest intensity is fear..."

Li Yuan let out a long sigh and calmed down his agitated mood. If Daoist Master Long had not forced him to kill Yan Chunyang, given his temperament, it would have taken him a long time to discover the secret of the incense.

"If that's the case, I'll have to go down the mountain more often when I have time."

Fame is also limited. After this period of time, it is estimated that it will no longer have this effect. While Li Yuan was thinking about it, the carriage stopped.

When he lifted the curtain of the carriage again, there were a few more incense sticks of unknown grade in the spiritual light place. This was related to the fact that most people had dispersed after he appeared before.

"No wonder the Heroes List has been popular for many years. Even though Yunshulou has organized it this way, no one has caused any trouble. So that's why."

Li Yuan calmed himself down. He was definitely not the first person to know the secret of incense. After all, the method of worshiping gods was the most widely spread and practiced magical skill from ancient times to the present.

"Elder Lei is here!"

Fang Yunxiu jumped off the carriage.

Li Yuan bowed to the man from the martial arts world who greeted him, got off the carriage and walked out of the city gate.

……

"Hengshan City!"

On a carriage, Lei Jingchuan lifted the curtain and looked into the distance. He could see a majestic city rising from the ground, handling a huge flow of people.

The official road in Hengshan City is very wide, and there is more than one road. However, it is quite crowded at the moment. Looking back and forth, the crowds of people are like a dragon, and there is no end in sight.

"It's so lively."

On the other side, Jing Shuhu saw the huge wooden bridge outside Hengshan City, with hundreds and thousands of ships in front and behind, and people coming and going all carrying swords and knives, some of which were famous weapons.

"It is a central place, a magnificent city with a history of more than 2,000 years. Its profound heritage is truly incomparable to Dechang Prefecture and Zhelong Prefecture. I should have come to see it earlier."

Lei Jingchuan was full of energy and his injuries seemed to have improved a lot.

"All these fellow martial artists are here for the martial arts competition. It wasn't this lively in the past."

The person who spoke was a big monk with an honest face and a sturdy figure. He was walking outside the car, and when passers-by saw him, they all silently stepped back and avoided him.

"I've long heard that the martial arts performances of the various sects are a major event in the martial arts world, and it's very lively. Now that I've seen it, I know that the rumors are not exaggerated at all."

Jing Shuhu felt quite emotional. There were really too many masters. If one made enemies with them, it would be difficult to resolve the issue.

"It's coming soon."

Yinfa spoke as the carriage got on the wooden bridge. In the distance, there were crowds of people and noise from time to time. The team entering the city slowed down and he frowned slightly.

"Little Li!"

Lei Jingchuan also saw it.

"where?"

Jing Shuhu was startled. He opened the car curtain and saw Li Yuan striding towards him.

After being apart for nearly two years, he could sense a difference from afar. Li Yuan was now tall and straight, wearing a Taoist robe made with excellent workmanship.

There is a jade belt around the waist, a ring on the hand, shoes on the feet and a hair crown on the head. At first glance, it is obvious that they are not ordinary items.

At first glance, there is no trace of the time when he was working naked as a blacksmith in the Chirong Cave.
"Master Lei, the Great Elder."

Li Yuan stepped forward to greet him, feeling very happy. After not seeing him for two years, even Jing Shuhu's old face looked friendly.

Of course, we didn’t forget the printing method:
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother. I have already prepared a banquet, please come."

"Ah."

Yin Fa responded, his face was not very good:
"Junior Brother Li's trip was a bit grand..."

It was only then that Lei Jingchuan and the other man realized that many of the people behind Li Yuan were not intending to leave the city at all, but were following him.

"There are many experts..."

The two looked at each other and were both horrified.

It was understandable that Monk Yinfa came from thousands of miles away to pick them up, after all, they were fellow disciples, but there were many masters among those following him.

There were a few who all felt it was dangerous.

This scene is probably even bigger than that of the Divine Weapon Valley. In just over a year, this kid has built up such a big force?

"Everyone, please disperse for now. I will host a banquet for you all another day."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and spoke loudly. He used his true energy to speak, and dozens of people in front and behind could hear him. After hearing his words, everyone returned the greetings and dispersed.

Most of the people who followed him here wanted to invite him to a banquet, and when their purpose was achieved, they naturally dispersed.

"There are only a few incense sticks that are not of high rank. It seems that these people are here to invite me to a banquet under the order of the master."

After a slight change of mind, Li Yuan bowed:
"Brother Yinfa, can we talk about this while we eat?"

"Alright."

Yin Fa did not refuse. He had been traveling back and forth for nearly half a year, and his taste for food had become a little dull.

……

"Yan Chunyang died in his hands?"

Opposite the Yulong Restaurant, in a tavern, watching the crowd and carriages going away, in the private room, Master Xie Tongzhi and his disciple looked at each other, and their expressions changed.

Pei Jiu held the wine glass with a serious expression.

Xie Tongzhi's face was as gloomy as water:
"Long Xinglie fought seven times and tied seven times, and was even at a disadvantage at one point. This kid hasn't even refined his marrow yet. Even if he has extraordinary talent, how can he beat Yan Chunyang?"

Xie Tongzhi was filled with confusion.

Before entering the martial arts world, there were many talented people who could fight against opponents of higher levels. In his early years, Yan Chunyang once defeated a blood-transferring warrior by using his internal organs to refine his body.

But he was able to cross levels, firstly because he possessed unique skills and magical weapons, and secondly, he was cultivated personally by Wan Zhuliu. Such a genius had few rivals at the same level, so it was really unbelievable that he was killed by someone who crossed levels.

"I heard that the long whip on his waist is a top-grade divine weapon?"

Pei Jiu was a little dazed, with a brand new 'List of Heroes of Various Dao Sects' next to him. It was a new list published by Yunshu Tower, listing the talented disciples of the five major Daoist sects.

Now, Li Yuan is ranked in the top ten.

"The Mirage Dragon Belt, a top-grade magical weapon that Yiqi Villa lost to Longhu Temple more than a thousand years ago. This kid is quite lucky. This is the first time this whip has recognized its master."

Xie Tongzhi calmed down and his expression eased a little:

"Fortunately, the martial arts performances are not allowed to use magical weapons, otherwise this kid would have a chance to win!"

"This person's talent is probably higher than Long Xinglie's..."

Pei Jiu put down his wine glass and picked up the 'List of Heroes of Various Sects'. The first ten people were all famous geniuses from various sects who had achieved great success in blood transfusion. Only Li Yuan, who had achieved great success in organ refining, was very eye-catching.

"After Long Xixiang's death, this person will probably be the next leader of Longmen, and may even be expected to compete for the position of Dragon Tiger Daoist Master!"

Xie Tongzhi's eyes flickered: "If he were alive, I'm afraid..."

Pei Jiu's expression changed slightly: "Master, be careful with your words."

"drink wine."

Xie Tongzhi picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but his eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Dragon and Tiger Mountains:
"Long Xixiang probably won't live for many days..."

……

……

Li Yuan's small welcoming banquet turned into a grand banquet.

First, Gong Yangyu, Ba Wanli and others came after hearing the news, followed by Gong Jiuchuan, Yan Sanxing, Lin Tingfeng and others, and later, even Wanchuan, who had been immersed in blacksmithing for many days, came with his apprentices.

It was already evening when the banquet ended.

Li Yuan took Lei Jingchuan and Jing Shuhu onto the carriage. He did not let Liu Zheng follow and drove the carriage back to the mountain by himself.

"I got nearly two hundred incense sticks after going down the mountain, but unfortunately the highest one is only the second level..."

An old horse knows the way, and Li Yuan, this spiritual horse, does not need to be driven at all. He took stock in his mind and felt that it was okay. After all, normally, incense needs to accumulate over time.

At the end of July, the weather was still a bit hot. When the weather cooled down in the evening, it was even busier than at noon. Many shops had their lights on and there were many pedestrians on the streets.

"There's not even the third level of incense, let alone the seventh level... The seventh level of incense, I'm afraid it will take decades to accumulate?"

A breeze blew by, and Li Yuan's drunkenness dissipated. His eyes swept across a certain place, then pretended to look somewhere else as if nothing had happened, but a hint of coldness flashed through his heart.

"The ghost is still here!"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a trace of blood remaining in his eyes.

There were many people in the downtown area, including many people from the martial arts world. The light of weapons was shining everywhere, but the blood light of the sixth level was still very eye-catching.

He was an old man with a goatee and a pale face. His appearance was obviously fake, but the light of the weapon could not deceive anyone.

"At least he is a master of Huangfu Kun's level."

Li Yuan touched the long whip at his waist. With the help of the Mirage Dragon Whip, he was confident that he could kill the enemy in just a few moves. However, this was a busy city, and if he really fought, many people would probably die.

After taking a look at the two patients in the carriage, Li Yuan silently noted the weapon and the house the old man had entered, and prepared to go back to tell Lao Longtou.

“You can’t kill them all.”

Li Yuan shook his head and drove back.

……

"That boy is so sharp!"

In a private house facing the street, Yu Banzhou almost broke out in a cold sweat. He just took a quick look secretly and was almost discovered.

“He is less than 30 years old, but he has already killed Yan Chunyang and has a top-grade magic weapon in his hand. As long as he doesn’t die prematurely, he will at least be in the top five or even the top three on the hero list, and he has the potential to become a grandmaster.

This is the best hut in the main temple..."

After closing the gate and returning to the house, Yu Banzhou sighed lightly. Lurking in Hengshan City had exhausted him and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

hum~
The next moment, accompanied by a buzzing sound, Yu Banzhou's pale face became even more bloodless, and the whole person swayed and fell to the ground with a "thump".

Then, a ray of red light rose up, and the Red Flame Dragon King walked out of his body.

Looking at the tall figure, Yu Banzhou lost his initial fear. He felt like he was about to die:
"Dragon King, a short pain is worse than a long one. Just kill me!"

Be it true Qi or internal Qi, they all fundamentally come from Qi and blood. After being extracted again and again, he felt that his bone marrow was empty, and his whole body felt cold when the wind blew.

"This matter is over. I have my own elixir to reward you. What does a little bit of Qi and blood mean to you?"

The Scarlet Flame Dharma King glanced at him calmly and looked out the window: "Jueding Lushe? That boy is Li Yuan? Long Xixiang traveled thousands of miles to Dechang Prefecture just to accept him as his disciple?"

"It's him."

Yu Banzhou looked bored and reluctantly responded, but he couldn't get up:

"He has become very famous these days. It is said that he killed Yan Chunyang the night before yesterday!"

"Yan Chunyang? Him?"

The Scarlet Flame Dharma King was startled, and immediately asked:

"Top-grade divine weapon?"

"Rumor has it that he has a top-grade magic weapon."

Yu Banzhou was panting, and even after taking several blood-boosting pills, he still felt his speech was a little erratic.

The Scarlet Flame Dharma King's eyes lit up, and he immediately glanced at Yu Banzhou, smiling:

"You are so diligent, what do you want to do?"
