Chapter 373: Chapter 57 This is really strange! [Looking for monthly tickets!] _1

Three days later, at Tontian Peak.

"Senior Brother Chu, here is the item you requested."

"Is it pure?"

"Guaranteed pure."

"Let’s try it."

Wen Yulong immediately showed a distressed expression: "Isn’t this a bit wasteful?"

"It’s fine, we can produce more in the future." Chu Liang reassured him.

Wen Yulong then opened the elongated brocade box in his hand, which contained ten slivers of incense. Picking up one, he inserted it into the incense burner and lit it.

A thin wisp of blue smoke rose up. The two people in the room sniffed it and instantly felt as if their minds were illuminated, as if they could sense the surge of spiritual energy in the world.

"Good." Chu Liang smiled: "The effect is very good."

Wen Yulong carefully extinguished the incense and laughed: "The spirit plant you brought is really amazing, Senior Brother Chu. I’ve only ever heard of a few items that can boost divine thoughts and aid in enlightenment, and they’re all extremely rare."

"It’s just a bit of luck." said Chu Liang.

Indeed, it was quite the serendipitous encounter.

He had obtained the Drunken Spirit Flower seeds from the Wine Jar Demon and cultivated a few Drunken Spirit Flower plants. When the flowers bloomed, in addition to the intoxicating fragrance, sniffers experienced clarity of mind and a feeling of lightness.

However, the blossoming period was extremely short and the effect was not too powerful, so it wasn’t of much significance.

But when the Fire Crane accidentally set fire to the Drunken Spirit Flower leaves, Chu Liang discovered that the burning leaves also had the effect of enlightening the mind, though without any fragrance.

Furthermore, the leaves burned slowly, a single leaf able to burn for quite a while.

This made the blossom itself seem rather useless.

But Chu Liang was still not satisfied.

He sought Wen Yulong to research whether the Drunken Spirit Flower leaves could be refined into spirit incense to extend its effects.

Wen Yulong did not disappoint.

The incense he produced could burn for four hours, during which one could constantly maintain a clear mind. This was very powerful.

During this period, whether contemplating, practicing divine skills, or pondering the Dao... all could benefit.

"This spirit incense is unprecedented. I plan to name it ’Xing Shen Incense’, what do you think?" Wen Yulong asked, already having thought up a name in accordance with his usual gadget refining habits.

"Xing Shen Incense ..." Chu Liang muttered, then shook his head: "The name is not grand enough, it won’t catch on."

"What do you think we should call it then, Senior Brother Chu?" Wen Yulong asked, not counteracting, merely inquiring.

After all, from his past experiences, Chu Liang’s ideas were often good.

"How about ’Wu Dao Incense’?" Chu Liang made a suggestion after some thought.

"Wu Dao Incense?" Wen Yulong was stunned momentarily. After careful thought, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this name. It just was... a bit of an exaggeration.

The spirit incense certainly helped in the comprehension of the Dao, but just how much help it would provide remained to be seen.

"You keep half of these as a reward, and I’ll take the rest back to test the effect a bit more." Chu Liang said, "I’ll reserve a batch of Drunken Spirit Flower leaves for you later, all to be refined into Wu Dao Incense."

These past few nights, he had been revisiting the Jinhua River. Every night, there would be about ten Wine Jar Demons capturing spirits there. Chu Liang had quickly established a profound connection with the Wine Jar Demons.

If one day he didn’t see them, he would truly feel sad.

As for his initial goal of hunting the Wine Jar Demon, he had already put it at the back of his mind.

What Black Fur Ball?

He didn’t really know.

After accepting the Wu Dao Incense, Wen Yulong said, "I’ve also opened the magical storage tools you gave me last time."

He laid out the magical storage tools that Chu Liang had snatched off the corpses of the Demonix Flame Valley disciples. "And the damaged Flame Demon Armored Soldier armor pieces, the array runes are badly damaged, and I don’t know how to repair them. But I believe I can piece together one complete set from them. The armor from the Flame Demon Valley is well-known. If I can modify it, it will definitely be powerful."

"Hmm..." Chu Liang gave a noncommittal smile: "Actually, if you can fix one into a complete set that’s already great. If modifying it is difficult, don’t force it."

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother Chu," Wen Yulong replied, "We artifact refiners never fear challenges."

You’re not afraid of challenges, but I am...

Chu Liang grumbled in his mind, but he let him go on. After all, Wen Yulong had been quite helpful these days, so it wasn’t a big deal to give him some freedom.

It was just a piece of confiscated Flame Demon armor, if it turned out to be a failure, he could simply not wear it. Anyway, he was already equipped with his Jiuli Soul Armor. But if Wen Yulong succeeded in refining it, there might be a pleasant surprise, at that time... who would complain about having too much armor?

Chu Liang’s divine sense swept over the magical storage tools. His opinion of these fifth stage cultivators from the Flame Demon Valley changed.

They weren’t elite fifth stage cultivators, they were poor fifth stage cultivators.

The wealth they accumulated was far less than that of the Earth Slaying Envoys from the Underworld King Sect. There isn’t much valuable stuff. Even though there are some intact magic artifacts, elixirs, and cultivation techniques, they are all specific to the Demon Sect.

Apart from being able to submit them for some sword coins, Chu Liang didn’t have any other use for them.

This reminded Chu Liang of a popular joke in the Immortal Cultivation World.

It said that among cultivators of Three Levels and Nine Boundaries, the fifth stage was also known as the Impoverished Stage.

The reason being, cultivators of earlier stages don’t require too many resources and can save money. Those of the sixth stage or higher have many more avenues for wealth. Only those at the fifth stage require precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures for every stage of their cultivation, and are always in a state of poverty.

Of course, this reality is quite distant for the proud disciples of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

...

A little later, Chu Liang came to the old place at Pagoda Peak to meet with Jiang Yuebai privately once again.

"What brought you here this time?" Jiang Yuebai, waiting for him in the cave, asked softly.

"I have something interesting to show to Senior Sister." Chu Liang chuckled.

Jiang Yuebai had been studying the Fifth Realm’s cultivation technique these past days, and the two hadn’t seen each other for a while. Chu Liang had asked Senior Sister Jiang out with a purpose this time.

He pulled Jiang Yuebai to sit down, then set an incense burner on the table and stuck in a stick of Wu Dao Incense.

Jiang Yuebai blushed suddenly and stood aside, asking, "What are you doing?"

Huh?

Seeing her reaction, Chu Liang realized that pulling her to sit by the incense burner seemed as if he was asking her to worship something...

He quickly explained, "It’s a little trinket I recently discovered. I named it ’Wu Dao Incense’. It’s very beneficial for cultivation. I want you, Senior Sister, to experience it."

"I see." Jiang Yuebai nodded in understanding.

When the Wu Dao Incense was lit, Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up instantly.

This Spirit Incense did seem extraordinary. It wasn’t its strong effect, but simply because it was hard for other treasures to achieve this, which made it so remarkable.

"Senior Sister could try cultivating under this state. If it’s effective, I could get more for you in the future," Chu Liang smiled.

"Okay, I’ll try it." Jiang Yuebai nodded.

She sat cross-legged on the couch immediately, starting to circulate her Zhou Tian.

Perhaps unbeknownst to herself, the fact that she could meditate and exercise her Qi without hesitation in front of Chu Liang indicated that she had absolute trust in him, which was rare for her.

Jiang Yueba’s initial intention was simply to try cultivating in this clear state of mind. But as soon as she started to circulate her Zhou Tian, she immediately felt a difference.

At this moment, her body’s complex meridians, every wisp of True Qi, and intricately difficult Zhou Tian in her mind became so clear.

Her control had reached a new level.

She had experienced this feeling before. It was during the Fourth Realm when she could reach the Perfect Cycle with the Immortal Spirit Body’s powerful cultivation.

However, since she reached the Fifth Realm, she hasn’t really touched the threshold of the Perfect Cycle.

Perhaps it was just a bit short.

The effect of the Wu Dao Incense made up for this little gap, and she realized what she was missing.

Chu Liang was watching from the side when suddenly, he noticed a surge within his Qi Sea, and the Big Head Baby in the White Pagoda started to rotate faster.

What was this?

Perfect Cycle!

Boom——

As expected, in the next second, Jiang Yuebai’s body exploded with colorful light, filling the entire cave and even started overflowing.

The colorful rays of light transformed into Five Qi, among which the white-golden Qi was the most condensed and tangible, while the other four Qi were slightly loose.

The five rays of light shot straight into the sky from the Pagoda Peak!

Five Qi Initiation!

This was the Zhou Tian phenomenon of the Five Elements Chapter when practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Heart Technique!

Chu Liang observed this phenomenon at a close distance, feeling extremely fortunate and sat cross-legged immediately.

The Perfect Cycle could cause the same cultivation technique to run, and Zhou Tian phenomena could resonate with each other. There were records of Zhou Tian phenomena in the Seventh Realm benefiting all the folks of the Shu Mountain Sect.

However, the only one benefited at this moment was Chu Liang, who was nearby. The moment Jiang Yuebai’s Zhou Tian phenomenon appeared, he felt his Qi Sea churning to the extreme.

He absorbed a Dragon Blood Crystal and boosted his Essence, Qi, and Spirit all to the peak. Then, with the aura of Five Qi Initiation, he started to push his Zhou Tian with all his might.

Boom——

After a moment, Chu Liang also started to emit white radiance, which quickly turned into a Qi Sea, and the surging waves looked like billowing clouds!

In the rolling waves, a sunlike golden core bobbed, appearing and disappearing.

As the Five Qi Initiation reached its peak, the Qi Sea Xuan Core also gradually rose, shining along with the five colors of the sky!

Atop the Pagoda Peak, a strange phenomenon filled the sky!

...

In a blink of an eye, the entire Shu Mountain Sect saw this peculiar scene.

"What’s that?!"

"It’s Five Qi Initiation! It’s the Zhou Tian phenomenon from the Five Elements Chapter!"

"Among us, in the Shu Mountain Sect, only Senior Sister Jiang should have this kind of power, right?"

"Yes, it must be her. Besides her Immortal Spirit Body, who else would be able to achieve the perfect Zhou... wait a moment?"

"What about the rising Qi Sea Xuan Core?"

"It’s the Zhou Tian phenomenon of the Fourth Realm!"

"Those who can reach the Four Realm phenomenon on Shu Mountain, should be Senior Brother Chu!"

"Indeed, it should be him. Last time when Senior Sister Jiang was giving a lesson, he had a deep understanding of the Perfect Cycle, so it’s not surprising that he achieved the Perfect Cycle now."

"..."

The disciples of Shu Mountain Sect’s Thirty-Six Peaks all stopped to watch the phenomenon and indulge in discussion, but they couldn’t help but raise more questions.

"It’s not strange for Senior Sister Jiang to have a Zhou Tian phenomenon, nor for Senior Brother Chu. But... the two Zhou Tian phenomena are intertwined!"

"That’s certainly strange!"
