He took out a long wooden box from a rectangular cloth bag from his chest, opened the wooden box, and a total of twelve sticks of Dharma Incense appeared before him.

"Gathering Spirit Incense, Soul Calming Incense, Soul-Attracting Incense."

The twelve sticks of Dharma Incense, each containing a unique spiritual nature distinct from ordinary items, were firmly locked within the Dharma Incense.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ziyue took out one silver-white stick of Dharma Incense.

Soul Calming Incense!

Gathering Spirit Incense was used to restore spirit, Soul-Attracting Incense was used to attract ghostly souls, and this Soul Calming Incense could be used during cultivation. He intended to test its effect at this moment.

He inserted the Soul Calming Incense into a wooden crack on the table, and with a flick of his hand, a spark of fire appeared in his palm.

This wasn’t magic, just a fire control method he could freely use after elevating the spirit fire technique to the perfection level.

Soon, the Soul Calming Incense was lit.

A wisp of gray-white smoke rose slowly.

Upon gently inhaling, Bai Ziyue immediately felt his mind lighten. The disappointment of being unable to train after acquiring the Thunderfall Skill quickly became calm.

*His heart spirit settled, and his thoughts moved, seemingly speeding up.*

"Indeed, the Dharma Incense of the Incense Fire Dao truly has its unique merit."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes revealed a trace of admiration, and he quickly focused his thoughts on cultivation.

He began to train in the martial arts Celestial Entwining Hand.

Earlier, his master performed the Celestial Entwining Hand, with hands like ink splashes, showcasing an extraordinary control over weapons, and the method of converting various power into charging force truly amazed him.

Naturally, this led him to pay attention to the Celestial Entwining Hand.

Upon entering cultivation, he quickly noticed a difference from the past.

*Under the cover of Soul Calming Incense, although his heart spirit was tranquil, his thoughts were active, constantly sparking inspiration and touches during cultivation.*

*This allowed him to always remain in a state of being both reflective and enlightened.*

Unconsciously, when he performed the Celestial Entwining Hand, his hand was like a phantom, his body like a spirit ape, agile and natural. Finally, when the power erupted, the air burst and charged as far as a meter before gradually fading away.

Immersed in cultivation, Bai Ziyue seemed unaware of time passing, and in the blink of an eye, the Soul Calming Incense had already burned out.

In a daze, Bai Ziyue finally paused.

"One stick of Soul Calming Incense, it takes half an hour to burn out, which is equivalent to an hour. As for the effect..."

Bai Ziyue glanced at the incense ashes on the table and then looked at his attribute panel.

"With 954 soul energy points, the Celestial Entwining Hand can be elevated to the Small Success!"

Not choosing to elevate, Bai Ziyue’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

*He didn’t know when the attribute panel seemed to have evolved, no longer simply consuming the maximum soul energy needed to elevate martial arts and skills like before, but instead providing a guide on how much soul energy was required based on his actual cultivation insights.*

For the Celestial Entwining Hand, which required a thousand soul energy points to climb from entry level to Small Success, the current consumption of soul energy was only 954 points, effectively saving over forty soul energy points compared to the past.

*This kind of calculation method made him find convenience in many ways.*

*It also allowed him to have a clearer sense of the progress of his martial arts cultivation.*

"Through normal cultivation, I can reduce the soul energy point consumption by five or six points with an hour of Celestial Entwining Hand practice, meaning a reduction of one point every ten minutes.

While this time, by lighting the Soul Calming Incense, twelve points were reduced, directly doubling my cultivation speed."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes shone with a hint of light.

*He immediately felt that his previous underestimation of the Soul Calming Incense’s effect was too dismissive.*

*The effect of doubling was indeed astonishing.*

*If others were to know there was an incense that could double one’s cultivation speed, they would surely go insane.*

"However, despite the good effect of this Soul Calming Incense, its price is too steep, not something everyone can afford.

Using it occasionally is fine, but to use it consistently, even exchanging for it with talismans to make it relatively worthwhile, is still unaffordable."

Bai Ziyue murmured with a sense of helplessness.

One stick of Soul Calming Incense cost thirty taels of silver and had only an hour-long effect.

*Such a massive expense, he guessed even his master, being the Sect Leader and having considerable wealth, couldn’t afford it.*

Nevertheless, this Soul Calming Incense heightened his expectations for the effects of the Gathering Spirit Incense and Soul-Attracting Incense.

Meanwhile, he glanced again at the little dog, noticing its condition was much improved. Although it couldn’t move yet, its breathing was visibly stronger than before, unlike earlier, when it seemed on the brink of death.

Upon examining its wound, the pus was lighter, and there were signs of recovery, making him aware its life was preserved. With some recuperation, it might soon regain mobility. fгeewebnovёl.com

Thinking for a moment, he drew another Cleaning Talisman.

Considering he had used one after completing his cultivation, this was his last Cleaning Talisman.

But a sheet of Hundred-pleated Paper could be cut into thirty-two talisman papers, and with his skill in making Cleaning Talismans, there was almost no possibility of failure, so he wasn’t overly concerned.

The cyan light once again spread, causing the little dog’s dark fur to faintly shine.

Only then did Bai Ziyue rise, close the courtyard door, and head out.

He finally decided to go to the Sunburst Gang Branch to exchange for the Inner Cultivation technique.

...

Walking on the street, he occasionally heard discussions about the Sunburst Gang’s slaughtering of the Snake Demon and the destruction of the Ancient Rhymes Pavilion.

The government officials encountered occasionally hurried by, and among them were disciples from the Sunburst Gang.

"Brother Qin, Elder Tong, where are you headed?"

Just as he walked to the entrance of the gang, Bai Ziyue spotted Qin Shaoping and Tong Zhan, who were in a rush, and asked with surprise.

"Brother Bai, you came at just the right time, we were planning to look for you."

Qin Shaoping’s eyes lit up upon seeing Bai Ziyue, and he said,

"What’s the matter?"

Bai Ziyue hurriedly asked.

"You must have heard about the destruction of the Ancient Rhymes Pavilion."

Seeing Bai Ziyue nod, Qin Shaoping continued, "Early this morning, Lord Guardian directly sought out the Sect Leader, asking our Sunburst Gang to cooperate with the government in capturing the group from Ghost Head Stronghold that acted against Ancient Rhymes Pavilion yesterday.

Moreover, this time the contribution given by the gang is extremely high.

Even if we only find an ordinary member of Ghost Head Stronghold, there are fifty contribution points, and for minor leaders, major leaders, or even those at the household leader level, there will be more.

And it doesn’t matter whether they are dead or alive."

"The people from Ghost Head Stronghold acted in the middle of the night, wouldn’t they have escaped by now?

Also, what prompted the government to take such a drastic decision?"

Bai Ziyue showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked.

Ghost Head Stronghold, for the Qinghe Town government, was actually a taboo-like existence.

A few years ago, a siege was attempted against Ghost Head Stronghold, not only did it fail, but afterward both the government and the local gentry and merchants who provided funding and efforts suffered severe retaliation.

Thus, no one dared to propose a siege against Ghost Head Stronghold anymore.

This led to their arrogance, daring to enter the town twice in three years to commit extermination acts.

"Hehe, this time it’s different.

Today, the town gate of Qinghe Town hasn’t opened at all.

Every exit of Qinghe Town is controlled by the government and skilled people from our gang, and no suspicious person can easily pass through."

Saying this, Elder Tong showed a sly smile and said, "As for why the government is taking such a huge decision, it’s because the newly appointed Chief Clerk of Wujiang County, Lord Li Xun, is about to arrive in Qinghe Town.

It’s said he originally came to deal with nearby mountain bandits.

Now, such a shocking case happens at this time, with more than sixty people being wiped out, it’s natural for Lord Guardian to be worried.

Moreover, even we know that the Ancient Rhymes Pavilion was once an industry of the Li Family, exiled children of Li Xun, Lord Li. Do you think Lord Yang wouldn’t know?

If he doesn’t show some initiative now, even his government position could be unstable."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ziyue suddenly understood.

*He was well aware that Li Xun was one of the fortunate sons of the Li Family, which had been exterminated, and now that the other had a government position, revenge was expected.*

*This was not only his own desire, but also filial duty.*

*If others knew his parents were murdered by bandits and he remained indifferent, his position as Chief Clerk would be unstable.*

*Thus, bandit extermination became inevitable.*

*In this way, both sides were bound to fight until the end.*

*No wonder Ghost Head Stronghold suddenly went mad and attacked the Ancient Rhymes Pavilion in town.*

"Brother Bai, let’s hurry, with some luck, we may have a great harvest this time."

Qin Shaoping suddenly whispered.

*Feeling excited,* Bai Ziyue understood that they must have made a discovery.

However, he still hesitated slightly and looked at Tong Zhan. Their team always followed Tong Zhan’s lead.

"Let’s go, just relying on the two of us, it wouldn’t be safe enough."

Tong Zhan clearly understood Bai Ziyue’s concerns and quickly said,

"Alright then."

Bai Ziyue finally agreed.

As for the matter of exchanging the Inner Cultivation Technique, Golden Cicada Technique, he had to delay it for now.

...

Qinghe Town’s Wuxiang Port.

Idle drifters, hawkers looking for opportunities, some petty thieves, fugitives wandering here, groups of beggars, along with the local poor residents... made Wuxiang Port a chaotic place where ordinary people rarely ventured.

At this moment, Bai Ziyue and the other two were walking on the dense and narrow intersecting roads of Wuxiang Port, zigzagging enough to make anyone visiting for the first time become disoriented.

However, Tong Zhan seemed particularly familiar with this area, always leading them deeper without reaching any blocked places.

Soon, the group arrived at the deepest part of Wuxiang Port, outside a rather spacious courtyard.

"The person living inside is named Wang the Fifth, who has lived here for seven years.

Outside, he’s merely an ordinary traveling merchant, but very few know he actually has another name."

Tong Zhan said quietly.

"What name?"

Qin Shaoping asked curiously.
