The commotion caused by the strange fragrance affected far more than just the inside of the Daoist temple.
The temple looked quiet after nightfall, but it was anything but peaceful. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were silently watching from the darkness?
Sudden barking shattered the silence of the night, and even the air seemed to grow restless.
If one looked carefully, shadowy figures could occasionally be seen flickering into view. However, they kept a certain distance from the temple. After the disastrous failure of their last forceful attempt, all outside forces were careful to maintain their distance when approaching the temple.
The barking continued for more than ten minutes before the strange fragrance finally spread beyond the temple grounds.
By then, the scent had become exceedingly faint, but some small air-molecule collectors still detected something unusual.
However, the anomaly was far too subtle—so subtle that no one noticed it.
It was not until the next day that someone speculated that the temple's strange activity the day before might have been related to a smell.
In other words, the existing air-molecule collectors were no longer adequate and had to be replaced with more capable ones.
Yet that could only remain a suggestion. Large air-molecule collectors were not only huge and troublesome to install, but the key issue was that there was hardly any stock available anywhere in the world. They could only be ordered in advance.
Why had Feng Jun failed to control the fragrance after consuming the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit?
The truth was that the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit's scent had always been difficult to control. Since he was advancing from Mid Emergence from Dust to the Emergence from Dust High Stage this time, Feng Jun had to consider the possible effects the Breath-Concealing Formation might have on him.
