Faint sandalwood incense drifted, wisps of blue smoke curling upward.
A Daoist sat cross-legged in a cold, quiet room, his hands turning over, palms facing heaven, fingers forming what appeared to be an ordinary spirit art.
Behind the hazy smoke, the Daoist's face was far from calm.
Instead, threads of ferocity showed through.
His lips opened and closed slightly. With every breath, the sandalwood incense transformed into two azure qi dragons that burrowed into his nostrils.
In that instant, an immense pressure seemed to leak from the quiet chamber.
This was a sign that a cultivator could not control the outward release of Spiritual Sense, something that generally appeared only among those who had just entered Foundation Establishment.
For it to appear on Luo Chen was particularly rare.
Suddenly.
Luo Chen let out a muffled groan and opened his eyes, as though lightning had burst into bloom inside the room.
Electric Spark in Empty Room!
With a flick of his finger, a pellet of spiritual power shot toward the half-burned sandalwood incense.
Sizzle...
The incense went out, while its lingering fragrance continued to curl through the air.
Luo Chen could not help pressing one hand to his brow and gently massaging it.
"As expected of Vigorous Spirit Incense, said to be usable only by Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
"The stimulation it gives the divine soul is actually this intense."
"If I hadn't awakened in time, continued absorption would likely have left my divine soul overly excited, only to plunge into extreme exhaustion afterward."
He took a deep breath.
Looking at the half-stick of incense remaining, he pondered inwardly.
This Vigorous Spirit Incense was a type of spirit incense developed by the Fragrance Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Its conditions of use were harsh, and it was also extremely expensive.
