Chapter 274 Incense and Willing Power
The finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.
The best way to consume rare and precious materials like Lingyin Pearl is simply to soak them in water.
"System, will soaking it in a tub of water still be effective?"
【Ding】
[Data saving: Effective]
"Good system."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, poured the brewed water into the teapot, and poured a cup for each person.
“Starting today, we will stay here and drink this water every day for seven days.”
Lingyu and Lingxiu were both dumbfounded.
"Brother, does this stuff really work? Will we be able to learn martial arts after drinking it?"
Ye Kang nodded: "Martial arts are essentially about talent and comprehension. Soaking the Spirit Concealing Pearl in water can help improve your aptitude, at least enough to get you into the basics. With your grandfather here, you don't need to worry about your comprehension. Let's try to get all of you into the basics within these seven days."
"Don't worry, bro! We won't let you down!"
Lingyu and Lingxiu looked determined and immediately began reading the "Heart Sutra of Yi Wood".
As for his parents and eldest brother, they all looked very emotional.
Who in this world doesn't want to become a martial artist?
They were only limited by their natural talents, which forced them to give up the idea. Now that they have another chance, they are all very happy.
Ye Kang himself took a big gulp, and then went out to go shopping with Dai Huanhuan.
Since he doesn't need to enter the room, he certainly doesn't need to stay there.
……
And so, seven days passed.
The result was smoother than Ye Kang had expected; all his family members had entered the Yi Mu Heart Sutra.
Xie Shanhe, with his extensive experience, managed to help everyone embark on the path of martial arts based on his own understanding.
Of course, this is just the beginning. In just seven days, without any systematic training, they are not even third-rate experts yet.
However, taking the first step is a success. Once you do it, you'll do it again. If you find more treasures to improve your aptitude, the entire clan will ascend to immortality in no time!
Moreover, the benefits brought by the Spirit Concealment Pearl are not limited to this; it also enhances Ye Kang's abilities.
In seven days, Ye Kang's lifespan was extended by at least several years, and his aptitude also improved to some extent. Although he was not yet a genius, he was very close.
The most obvious benefit is the small incense stick that condenses within the Purple Mansion.
According to the system prompt, the Spirit Concealment Pearl will form a Spirit Concealment Incense, which has many benefits.
Ye Kang asked others, but none of them felt anything, including his maternal grandfather. Only he himself successfully gave birth to this lineage.
Ye Kang found a cultivation room and carefully touched the incense with his true energy.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on successfully condensing the incense seed]
[Note: When the host receives the power of incense offerings and wishes, it will automatically gather into the seed. The power of incense offerings and wishes can produce various changes and can also assist in cultivation and enhance combat power.]
The system notification sounded, and Ye Kang's breath caught in his throat.
You heard that right!
It really is the legendary power of incense offerings and prayers!
"This is a good thing, but I'm not a Buddhist, so who will offer me incense?"
【Ding】
[The incense seeds have collected 347 streams of incense offerings, which can be used to enhance martial arts skills or the power of divine weapons.]
"?"
Ye Kang was dumbfounded.
What the heck? Where did these 347 incense sticks come from?
He tried to delve into his mind, but the incense seed seemed too weak and did not possess such profound abilities.
"Could it be from the Poyang Lake?"
Ye Kang frowned, recalling an incident from the Poyang Lake.
At that time, in order to avenge Hei Zi and punish the landlords and gentry, he made quite a show of power at a dock.
As I was leaving, I think I heard the fishermen say they wanted to build a temple for themselves...
"No way...it actually happened..."
Ye Kang was at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.
The main problem is that I'm still too young. It's ridiculous that someone actually built a temple for me, and there might even be a golden statue of me inside. That's just too embarrassing.
On the other hand, these offerings and prayers are very real.
Generally speaking, only truly devout believers can generate the power of incense offerings, meaning that at least 347 people are genuinely worshipping him and treating him as a deity.
It's just absurd no matter how you look at it...
"Forget it, let's not dwell on it. At least it gives my incense seeds a purpose. Let's see what they do."
Ye Kang found two wooden dummies and first flicked an air finger strike at one of them.
In a short while, the wooden dummy was blasted away by the force of the finger, leaving a dent in the center.
Ye Kang pondered for a moment, then used his perception to control the incense seed, borrowing a strand of incense power from it and attaching it to his fingertip.
The same finger strike was used, but this time the target was a second wooden dummy.
But the instant the finger strike was released, a wisp of incense and prayer power covered it.
A miraculous thing happened: the power of will was completely unimpeded and directly merged into the finger strength, turning it into a very pale gold color.
The power of the finger strike visibly increased, and then there was a loud boom!
The wooden dummy was blasted away, but this time, the gap left in the center was twice as big as the last time!
"The power has increased exponentially?"
"No, I deliberately controlled the power of my finger strikes. The power was originally small, but after incorporating the power of will, it appeared to be greatly enhanced."
"If it were a move like Chaos Strike or Azure Sea Slash, even if all your willpower were poured into it, it wouldn't be possible to increase the power exponentially."
"But if used well, it can be integrated into vital points such as blades and spearheads, and may even become a killing move."
Ye Kang carefully observed the incense and prayers, gradually figuring out how to use them. Of course, for now, they could only be used to enhance combat power; as for assisting cultivation...
Ye Kang doesn't rely on his own cultivation anyway, so he's just providing assistance for no reason.
Several more days passed in this way.
The family members' martial arts skills are gradually getting on track, and it's only a matter of time before they become true third-rate masters.
With the help of the Spirit Concealing Pearl, Grandpa also completely stabilized his ninth-rank cultivation.
Ye Kang, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He spent his days either with his parents or his younger sister, and Dai Huanhuan would keep pestering him to wander around Jinling City.
Having engaged in too much killing, Ye Kang was happy to appreciate the simple joys of life and enjoyed a period of relaxation.
Another ten days or so passed, and the winter month was halfway over. The weather was bitterly cold, and the snow continued to fall, adding a few more naked beggar corpses to the streets of Nanjing.
Finally, on this day, the system beeped.
【Ding】
[Demon Forge Notification: Fire Phoenix Refining Completed]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 99 Demon Blood Crystals and 1 Demon Blood Core]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a wisp of Huo Yuanpeng's soul, which can be used to repair the deficiencies in your divine soul.]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 7 Fire Element True Feathers, 1 large bundle of Ordinary Fire Element Feathers, and 1 Lotus Realm Demon Core]
[The host has obtained a demonic body-refining technique: "Peng Demon Fire Control Technique"]
……
A long string of system notifications popped up. Ye Kang, in the cultivation room, couldn't help but smile, his expression filled with nothing but ecstasy.
"We've struck it rich! This time we've really hit the jackpot!"
