84: Chapter 84 A Miraculous Spectacle with Ingenious Uses: A Battlefield of Chaos!
The ancestral hall had been placed in the most populous area... With households passing by every day, it was inevitable that they would offer a stick of incense!
Shen Yi walked inside... his gaze fixed on the illusory statue within the ancestral hall.
This statue had changed its owner... and its shape had also undergone some slight changes.
In appearance, it actually looked a bit like him!
Shen Yi didn't pay much attention to these details... with a thought,
a wisp of Official Aura was silently injected into it.
Soon, he felt something in the mysterious void... a neutral, upright voice resonated!
[Incense Fire: 138 units]
[Blessing: Incense Protection (500 units)]
Shen Yi continuously searched his memories for information regarding the ancestral hall... connecting it with what the Immortal Dynasty official had said, only then did he have a realization.
"The ancestral hall is a Wonder of the Immortal Dynasty... Initially, one can choose one type of (Prayer Technique)."
"From my perspective, it's just a massive group buff."
"Back then, when Yan Shu held the ancestral hall, he was able to resist Sen You and suppress the underground... perhaps he relied on this Prayer Technique?"
"It's a bit of a pity..."
Incense Protection was not equivalent to a Spiritual Qi shield; this Prayer Technique dealt double damage to evil demonic Cultivators and the like.
It was also a continuous type... The initial activation required 500 units of Incense Luck, and it needed to be constantly replenished afterward.
The consumption was huge.
However, it wasn't a bad thing... when facing the Great Black Heaven Mother Buddha Sect, he could now be considered to have the ability to counter them!
He could ensure the safety of Qinghe Town!
Shen Yi nodded... he didn't offer any incense and left directly.
Worshipping himself was just too abstract.
Leaving the ancestral hall, he arrived at the Five Grains Temple.
The Five Grains Temple didn't enshrine him... but a deity.
A deity that truly existed in the Jing Dynasty and had been officially canonized by the Jing Dynasty.
Her name was Lady 'Qingmu'.
It also relied on Incense Luck to activate a certain Prayer Technique...
When his Official Aura connected to the Five Grains Temple, Shen Yi was shocked to discover.
This bastard... the Incense Fire for the two Wonders was actually shared???
Shen Yi felt extremely helpless.
[Five Grains Temple, Prayer Technique: Drought Resistance (200 units of Luck)]
A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Shen Yi's eyes... this could be considered picking the best among the mediocre.
The Prayer Technique that appeared in the Five Grains Temple was compatible with the local landscape, celestial phenomena, and climate.
Drought resistance was especially important for the Sanchuan Sand Sea.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to cast it now... Shen Yi offered a stick of incense.
[Incense Fire + 30!]
"?"
Watching the Luck in the Five Grains Temple surge... Shen Yi hurriedly grabbed a handful of incense sticks and began to offer them.
But unexpectedly... just as he lit them, a strange, fierce wind rose in the Five Grains Temple, blowing out the incense.
Shen Yi didn't believe in evil...
He tried again and again...
Until that strange wind grew larger and larger... blowing him out of the Five Grains Temple.
Xu Erniang had just come out of the side hall... carrying some sprouting spiritual plants that were being nurtured.
Her eyes were filled with a hint of strangeness.
Looking at Shen Yi, who had fallen into the courtyard in a "falling goose" posture, she felt a bit strange.
"My Lord... are you drunk in broad daylight?"
Shen Yi grimaced as he got up, patting his butt as if nothing had happened.
"It's nothing... nothing... I just misstepped."
After speaking, he left the Five Grains Temple.
He ducked into a small alley... his calm face suddenly twisted.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
"Wait... you're a deity, why are you giving me, a sesame official not even at the Ninth Rank, such a hard time?"
"If you won't let me get a freebie, that's fine, but why hit me?"
"Wasn't I just thinking about showing you more filial piety?"
"You really took my good intentions for donkey lungs!!!"
Shen Yi leaned against the wall and gradually walked away.
And above the incense-wreathed Five Grains Temple, an illusory green figure flickered in and out of existence.
Watching Shen Yi walk away...
Afterward, Shen Yi came to the Wonder he cared about the most.
[Zhenyuan Temple]
The grounds of Zhenyuan Temple were overgrown with weeds... without Shen Yi's order, no one stepped foot inside.
There were a pair of young Daoists who came to serve... but the Old Village Chief was afraid they would offend the immortals.
He insisted on teaching them before he would let them come.
That was why it was empty of people.
This place would be used to recruit Daoist Cultivators in the future... but unfortunately, Shen Yi only had Yan Shu in his hands.
And the Wonder was still damaged, making it hard to be of much use!
Shen Yi thought for a moment, picked up a sickle, and began to clear the weeds!
For him, this had long since become a daily routine.
His weeding skill had been maxed out!
It took about the time of a stick of incense, and the entire courtyard looked much cleaner and tidier.
Only then did he wash his hands, rest for a moment, and push open the main hall doors!
He walked inside...
There were no spider webs inside, nor were there any deity statues enshrined.
There were only three large, sloppy, wild... yet extraordinarily imposing characters.
[Heaven]
[Earth]
[Human]
Shen Yi looked at them... and sighed slightly.
"If these truly belong to that old immortal, this magnificent spirit... is just right!"
Shen Yi channeled his Official Aura... there wasn't any Incense Fire.
He saw a vortex suddenly rise before the three paintings.
Within the vortex, strands of yellow and crimson light gradually condensed into a huge circle!
With a thought, Shen Yi understood the meaning behind it.
"When the Spirit Demon Storm riots, the Earth-attributed Spiritual Qi within it boils... The reason no Stone Demons appeared in Qinghe Town was because Zhenyuan Temple had sucked dry the Earth-attributed Spiritual Qi within it."
"The Sanchuan Sand Sea has storms every year, and the Earth-attributed aura is the most intense."
"Hmm... one of the Five Elements is satisfied."
"Crimson... should be the celestial phenomenon of the Great Sun... The Sanchuan Sand Sea has a scorching sun, never truly having spring, summer, autumn, or winter."
"It's normal to absorb enough Fire Qi!"
"But that Wood, Metal, Water... that will be difficult to handle."
"Water Qi... I have the Spiritual Vein, so I suppose I can collect it."
"As for the others... forget it, I'll deal with them later!"
Shen Yi quietly retreated.
He closed the door.
He headed to the spiritual field.
The spiritual field was quite lively... Yan Shu was there, controlling the Formation.
And another Essence Spirit was there, which was rare.
The Green Scaled Stone Spirit!
The Green Scaled Stone Spirit had already transformed into a Second-Rank, and following Shen Yi's instructions, it was nurturing the Earth Origin Stone.
It was quite effective.
In the end, the location for the Earth Origin Stone was chosen to be the spiritual field.
This way, Yan Shu could also be a bit more relaxed...
When Shen Yi arrived, Yan Shu hurriedly saluted... The Green Scaled Stone Spirit also slightly cupped its hands.
During this time, it had heard quite a bit about Shen Yi's past.
In just a few short months, he had raised so many troops and won battles... Now he had 700 Dao Soldiers and one Second-Rank Dao Soldier in his hands.
He could be called strong and powerful!
And the most terrifying thing was... this person actually had several Wonders.
The yanbing platform, Zhenyuan Temple, Five Grains Temple, ancestral hall, and the rakshasa statue.
Is this something an ordinary person could achieve?
The Green Scaled Stone Spirit felt that there were great secrets!
It naturally restrained its own temperament...
"Lord Shen!"
"Lord Shen!"
Shen Yi looked at the Moon-Essence Rice in the spiritual field and nodded with satisfaction... then looked at the Green Scaled Stone Spirit and said with a smile,
"It just so happens... I have a damaged Spiritual Vein here, and I need to trouble the Stone Spirit!"
The Green Scaled Stone Spirit's eyes flickered.
"A Spiritual Vein?"
"Leave it to me!"
Shen Yi nodded... they chatted for a while, and then he left.
The sky was getting late, so he returned to his small courtyard.
But facing him, he saw Uncle Fu wearing a cold sneer.
Shen Yi felt a bit strange... he pushed the door open.
He only felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
"Something's wrong!"
Three figures were sitting under the peach blossom tree.
The wealthy woman, Pei Lingshu.
The female general, Huo Liangyu.
The Sect Leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Hua Yun!
"Bad!"
"It's a battlefield of romance!"
