"By the way, Elder Zhou, what was the incense you lit earlier?"
On the road, Bai Ziyue curiously asked.
Earlier, when the Elder Scholar lit the incense, he only needed a light sniff to feel spirited and rejuvenated. It was definitely considered a good thing.
"That is Gathering Spirit Incense, a Dharma Incense that can quickly restore spiritual power. One stick is enough to restore a cultivator at the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Cultivation to full spiritual power if depleted.
If you want, you can purchase from me. Besides Gathering Spirit Incense, I also have Gathering Spirit Incense, Soul Calming Incense, and Soul-Attracting Incense. They have different effects but are all invaluable."
The Elder Scholar smiled slightly and said bluntly.
"How much do they cost?"
Bai Ziyue pondered slightly. The effect of the Gathering Spirit Incense was indeed miraculous and tempted him.
*He had to know that whether it was drawing talismans or casting magic, he required spiritual power. Once depleted, it often took time to recover. With the aid of Gathering Spirit Incense, it would save him a great deal of time.*
*Even at critical moments, this Gathering Spirit Incense could come into play.*
"Gathering Spirit Incense is fifty taels per stick, while Gathering Spirit Incense, Soul Calming Incense, and Soul-Attracting Incense are all thirty taels per stick."
The Elder Scholar said with a face full of shrewdness.
"That’s a bit expensive."
Bai Ziyue frowned. *He admitted these Dharma Incenses were good stuff, but for him, they weren’t necessities. Spending a large amount of silver to purchase them made him hesitant.*
"Actually, I’m quite interested in some of the talismans you have. If possible, we could exchange them."
The Elder Scholar showed a look of interest and said.
During the previous battle, Bai Ziyue’s variety of talismans had astonished him.
If not, just the sheer number of ghosts would have been enough to give someone a headache.
Bai Ziyue quickly agreed.
"By the way, Elder Zhou, I’ve heard that Daoist Wutong has a junior brother. Do you know of him?"
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue asked nonchalantly, then stared intently at the Elder Scholar.
Earlier, he learned from Wu Hao’s cultivation notes that Daoist Wutong had a junior brother. Not long ago, he happened to overhear the conversation between Daoist Wutong’s disciple Zhang Yuchang and the Water Bandits’ Water Immortal during a transaction, confirming it again. Through their dialogue, he judged that the Uncle Master mentioned by Zhang Yuchang was probably nearby Qinghe Town, and there might even be a conspiracy.
However, previously searching through his memory, he couldn’t find anyone who fit the description of an immortal cultivator, so the sudden appearance of the Elder Scholar made him suspicious.
"Daoist Wutong’s junior brother? Unaware.
I have only seen Daoist Wutong from afar, and he has always considered himself a loose cultivator, never heard of any sect heritage."
The Elder Scholar shook his head frankly and said.
Seeing his expression didn’t seem fake, plus Bai Ziyue confirmed that the Elder Scholar was a disciple of the Incense Fire Dao and didn’t seem to have any connection with Daoist Wutong, so he nodded to show acknowledgment.
"However, I must warn you, this Daoist Wutong isn’t as benevolent as rumored. You’d better be careful when you encounter him."
The Elder Scholar warned instead and said.
"I shouldn’t have any interactions with him. But if I ever do, I will naturally be cautious."
Bai Ziyue shook his head and said calmly.
Then, as if remembering something, he curiously asked, "I heard you mention earlier, near the Liugang Temple on South Street, there are demons?"
The Elder Scholar’s eyes twinkled for a moment and said.
Bai Ziyue became even more certain of this, feeling a bit uneasy.
The area near Liugang Temple, though sparsely populated, was still very close to South Street. If there really were demons, it would indeed be unsettling.
"If you say so, then it must be."
The Elder Scholar seemed reluctant to discuss this matter further, appearing dismissive.
"Is it a Snake Demon? That Snake Demon from before?"
Bai Ziyue was unwilling to let it go easily and continued to inquire.
The Elder Scholar remained silent, so Bai Ziyue had to change the subject and began to learn about the matters of immortal cultivation from him. Thus, he gained a deeper understanding of the world of immortal cultivation.
Returning to his dwelling, Bai Ziyue placed the long saber on the table, then took out a Jade Scroll Eye and a small golden knife from his chest.
"Spiritual Eye Technique, Golden Thread Saber."
Bai Ziyue looked at the two items, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes.
The Spiritual Eye Technique needed no more introduction. It was a type of magic. According to the Elder Scholar, once the Spiritual Eye Technique was practiced successfully, it could not only see through illusions and dismantle evil techniques but also discern others’ strength.
A martial artist’s qi and blood strength, whether inner strength had been cultivated, could all be discerned at a glance.
Even the level of an immortal cultivator could also be somewhat determined. It was undoubtedly an invaluable and convenient magic.
At the very least, it could allow him to anticipate and gain a tactical advantage before confronting enemies.
As for the Golden Thread Saber, although its appearance was petite and elegant, it was incredibly sharp.
And most importantly, this would be Bai Ziyue’s first magical artifact that he could control freely.
"Besides these two, there should also be a Thunder Skill, the Thunderfall Skill."
Thinking of the Thunder Skill’s world-shattering might, Bai Ziyue secretly anticipated it in his heart.
He contemplated for a moment, then picked up the Spiritual Eye Technique Jade Scroll Eye, and channeled his spiritual power into it.
Instantly, the method for casting the Spiritual Eye Technique appeared in his mind.
*"The complexity of the Spiritual Eye Technique far exceeds the Grudge Cleansing Technique, and its casting difficulty also increases significantly,"* Bai Ziyue lamented, then looked towards his attribute panel.

*"Indeed, my Soul Energy Points have increased dramatically. This is still due to using up 6400 points of Soul Energy to elevate both the spirit fire technique and the spirit light shield to perfection."* Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed with excitement.
*For him, the greatest gain wasn’t the magic or the magical artifact, but the Soul Energy Points.*
*This was the fundamental reason he could rapidly enhance his strength and establish a foothold in this dangerous world.*
"Since my Soul Energy is still abundant, I can elevate my strength once more." Bai Ziyue gazed at his various martial arts and magic and pondered slightly.
