The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 44 - Soul Enchanting Incense

Daoist Yi Qing and Money Rat were currently conspiring against Zhao Jiuge and Su Su.

The two of them, besieged by their emotions, were still not sleepy. Although the incense coming from the bronze incense furnace filled with precious spices was quite tasty but no one felt sleepy.

Their rooms are next to each other. After days of running away and getting injured, the two of them did not cultivate but chose to lie down on their soft beds, thinking calmly. The little beggar was sleeping soundly and breathing smoothly. Seeing the sleeping little beggar made Zhao Jiuge smile.

After an unknown amount of time, due to all the fatigue that had accumulated for days, Zhao Jiuge fell asleep.

Day two.

Geck, tok, tok... Geck, tok, tok...

There was a knock from outside the door. Zhao Jiuge woke up and he opened his eyes, feeling very lazy. The morning sunlight shone on the little beggar and Zhao Jiuge.

Awakened so early, Zhao Jiuge revealed an expression of helplessness. He saw the little beggar had not yet woken up and showed a gentle smile. He got off the bed and opened the door to see Chang Feng standing there.

Zhao Jiuge moved his bones as he stretched out his hand and yawned.

Chang Feng bowed slightly and respectfully said, "My teacher told me to wake you up and call you to his room." 

Zhao Jiuge gently nodded. "I knew. When the little beggar wakes up, you are responsible for feeding him.”

Chang Feng, whose face was downcast, showed a wave of disdain in his eyes. However, seeing how his teacher treated Zhao Jiuge, he could only endure. Yesterday, he suspected that his teacher also thought that the little beggar was disgusting. If not for Zhao Jiuge, the little beggar would have been expelled.

Chang Feng agreed and turned to leave. This left Zhao Jiuge alone, and he stretched his body slightly outside as he was afraid of waking the little beggar up.

He looked at the door next to him. Although it was closed, the voices inside Su Su, should have been up.

Crunched.

As he thought about Su Su, he opened the door. Zhao Jiuge was about to say a few words of greeting, but who knew that Su Su would have a stiff and cold expression on his face. He did not even look towards Zhao Jiuge before he started walking towards Daoist Yi Qing's room.

He left her with a embarrassed face, and she was shocked about what happened to her. How could someone as inexperienced as Zhao Jiuge, who had never interacted with the opposite sex, understand what a girl was thinking?

He felt helpless and quickly followed Su Su to Daoist Yi Qing's room. Along the way, Zhao Jiuge tried to talk to Su Su, but Su Su acted as if she did not hear him. He remained silent and did not look at her.

Along the way, Zhao Jiuge saw that there was a lot of bamboo planted here, and outside the courtyard was a small artificial lake. There were several fake mountains around the lake, giving it a calm atmosphere. Zhao Jiuge felt like he was in love with this comfortable environment.

They arrived at Daoist Yi Qing's room. They opened the door and saw Daoist Yi Qing sitting on the mahogany table. The table has tea, cups, and snacks. When Su Su and Zhao Jiuge arrived, Daoist Yi Qing laughed. “Come and sit down, this is a great spiritual tea. Drink it and it will refresh your mind. When ordinary people come, I am reluctant to serve this tea.”

Zhao Jiuge revealed a smile when he heard this and quickly sat down. He took a cup and tasted it. Su Su did not seem to care. He sat down but did not drink tea. As for spirit tea, what kind of good things did Su Su not see at home?

After Zhao Jiuge finished drinking the tea, he smacked his lips. Fragrant aroma coming out of his mouth—a little sour.

After seeing Zhao Jiuge finish drinking his tea, Daoist Yi Qing asked with a smile, “How? Not bad?" However, that smile looked a little sneaky today.

As Zhao Jiuge drank the spirit tea, he chatted with Daoist Yi Qing. He sniffed and realized something was wrong. He looked around and saw a bronze incense pot that gave off a different smell from yesterday. It smells so good and subconsciously makes someone want to smell more.

“Ah, Jiuge, who else do you and Su Su have in your family?” Daoist Yi Qing asked the question with an interesting light in her eyes.

Daoist Yi Qing quickly shook his head and said, “Oh, that's fine, just curious about your family's situation. For the two of you to travel at such a young age, you guys are pretty good. ” After pondering a bit, he continued, "Then, are you guys in any sect?"

After hearing the word “secte”, Su Su inevitably rolled his eyes towards Zhao Jiuge and let out a cold snort. When Zhao Jiuge heard the word "sect", he became interested. "Yet. In a few days, we will go and go see if there are any sects or holy lands that accept disciples.”

After hearing Zhao Jiuge's reply, Daoist Yi Qing relaxed slightly as the most important matter had been resolved. Today, he invited them here to ask about their situation, whether they had a family or a sect. Now it seems like these two youngsters are just lucky and have a lucky meeting. Thinking of this, Daoist Yi Qing unwittingly smiled.

However, it would still take a while for Soul Enchanting Incense to take effect, so he might as well go ahead and try to gain a better understanding of their situation. He suppressed his excitement and happily asked, “You two are very young yet have good cultivation and magical treasures, not bad. If you don't have a sect or a family, what do the two of you rely on? Even his speech became much lighter due to his relaxed mood.

After hearing Daoist Yi Qing ask about this and even mentioning cultivation methods and magical treasures, Zhao Jiuge felt that something was amiss. His brows furrowed and he felt like Daoist Yi Qing had a purpose today. “Nothing, it's okay, I'm just lucky, so my cultivation improved a lot. As for the magical treasures, even I want them, haha. ”

Although Zhao Jiuge was naive and not too old, he was not stupid. He had already noticed that Daoist Yi Qing had a purpose, so he could only play with snakes and walk around the topic.

At the same time, he felt that Daoist Yi Qing was different from the last two days they had been in contact. As for the difference, Zhao Jiuge was secretly shocked.

Zhao Jiuge smiled. “Daois Yi Qing, yesterday, you were holding an incredible-looking blue-yellow jade gourd. Can you tell us the name and history? ” Zhao Jiuge cleverly turned his attention back to the other party.

Daoist Yi Qing revealed a faint smile. He seemed to be unconcerned and spoke proudly. “That Pumpkin is a Purple-Gold True Fire Pumpkin. It contained the three true flames of a Daoist. It was very good against evil and ghosts, and it was my favorite treasure.” He stroked his beard as he spoke.

However, Daoist Yi Qing had left behind some details. He had stolen the Purple-Gold True Fire Pumpkin from someone else. It was a young man who came out to practice, even now, he had no idea which sect the young man came from. The young man came to Qing Rong, and at first, Daoist Yi Qing invited him to stay at the Qing Xuan Temple. Then he took the opportunity to kill the young man for the sake of his treasure and even destroy his body.

At this moment, Su Su finally left his confused mood and quietly listened to Zhao Jiuge speak to Daoist Yi Qing. However, he couldn't help but interrupt, “Daois Yi Qing, others accept disciples to teach cultivation and spells, as well as having a certain level of cultivation. I observed the temple and found that among your disciples, other than having a pretty good body, they had no fluctuations in spirit power at all. Also, I hope Daoist Yi Qing will not take the wrong path, but your cultivation is somewhat lacking. ”

Zhao Jiuge also nodded. Normally, a Foundation Realm cultivator would not deal with worldly affairs. They will focus on cultivation.

After hearing Su Su's question, Daoist Yi Qing's expression became a little ugly. He swallowed and explained, “Daois like us rely on pills to increase our cultivation level, and they have not reached the time to learn. As for my cultivation, although it is not strong, it can be considered quite outstanding around here. ”

After Daoist Yi Qing spoke, he could not help but feel annoyed. He thought that after such a long time, the Soul Enchanting Incense should have come into effect. Especially after Su Su asked such an embarrassing question that made her look bad, she could no longer contain her anger.

With a cold snort, he stopped smiling. “As for the reason, if you two follow me, you will know.”

At this moment, Daoist Yi Qing completely tore apart the facade he had installed. He's not in the mood to pretend anymore. The kind warm smile he had when they met was long gone, the only thing that remained a gloomy and deep expression.

He ignored the shocked eyes of Zhao Jiuge and Su Su and arrived next to the place of the bronze incense. He took half the remaining incense and threw it away. This Soul Enchanting Incense cost 500 to 600 spirit stones on the market. He could still use the remaining half later.

This shocked Zhao Jiuge and Su Su. They stared at the half stick of incense in Daoist Yi Qing's hand. Their eyes widened and they asked, "Daois Yi Qing, what is that?"

Half an incense stick that was completely black and as thick as a thumb. Even after being blown up, Zhao Jiuge could still smell the same strange scent that he smelled when he entered the room — a smell that made one feel drunk.

At this moment, Daoist Yi Qing was careful not to smile as he half narrowed his left eye and said, “This is called the Soul Enchanting Incense. As for the effect, follow me, then you will know everything. ”

Ignoring the two people, he walked straight towards the cultivation room.

Zhao Jiuge and Su Su looked at each other. They saw doubt and shock in each other's eyes. Right now, Daoist Yi Qing clearly revealed a strange aura, and something called "Soul Enchanting Incense" couldn't possibly be good. Both of them had been breathing it for a long time. They decided that since they were already here, they would find out the truth before making a decision.

At this moment, the two of them thought that Daoist Yi Qing was also inhaling incense and wanted to know how things would develop. They did not have much experience and did not know that Daoist Yi Qing was planning to take their lives. He was willing to rely on his cultivation and even dared to break into the dragon pond or the tiger's nest.
