The remaining two are named [ Empty Moonlit Courtyard ] and [ Rising Lotus Breeze ].
The former evokes a tranquil and profound fragrance, like sitting alone in an empty courtyard under the moon, where all is silent.
Burning it can calm the mind and nourish the soul, making it most suitable for cultivators who are refining their spirit or whose soul is injured. It is derived from the idea of the moonlight nourishing the spirit.
The latter features a refreshing and vibrant fragrance, like strolling along a lotus pond on a summer evening, with the breeze carrying the delicate scent of lotus blossoms from afar, mixed with the aroma of water vapor and green leaves, a truly delightful experience.
Burning it can unblock the meridians and harmonize Qi and Blood, making it very suitable for body cultivators, those who cultivate the Dharma body like Chen Shuangbai, or people with physical defects.
These three incense formulas represent Chen Shuangbai's highest achievement in the Dao of Incense.
However, like Dao of Incense, Dao of Alchemy is an external substance, and long-term use will inevitably cause some harm. Even if Chen Shuangbai tries his best to reduce the impact, cultivation is a personal practice, and long-term reliance on external substances can lead to addiction.
After careful consideration, Chen Shuangbai took out a golden book and copied the three incense recipes into it. He then wrote down the eight characters "Auxiliary cultivation of external things, do not become obsessed" in red ink as a warning.
He closed the golden book and jade scroll, then inscribed the four characters " Jade Screen Incense Compendium " on the cover and placed it on the bookshelf of the Moon-Gazing Pavilion.
Feiguang flew in from outside, and when he landed in front of the hall, he had transformed into a young man wearing a pure white and gold feather robe. He obediently walked up to his master and waited for instructions.
Chen Shuangbai took several portions of each of the three types of incense pills and had them delivered to the sect.
Aside from the three items that need to be sent to True Lord Qingchen and Master Yi Chongyue, the rest will be sent to fellow disciples and friends, including Ding Chengyu, Qin Shu, Fu Qianlan, Yan Heng, and He Qi from the inner sect, as well as some friends from the outer sect, such as Lu Zhiyuan and Huang Shanglan.
Even though he had already reached the Golden Core True Person, Chen Shuangbai still hadn't forgotten the fellow disciples and friends who had helped and supported him on his cultivation journey.
He instructed Changming to pack the incense pills one by one, and attached a small note to each package, specifying the name of the incense, its effects, and how to use it. The handwriting was elegant and refined, just like his own personality.
Feiguang soared into the sky and returned to Sunken Jade Valley.
Half a day later.
He transformed into a beam of white light and returned from Sunken Jade Valley, but he brought two people with him.
Oh no, to be precise, it was three people.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Chen Shuangbai smiled brightly and greeted them gently, "What brings you two here?"
It was Lu Zhiyuan and Huang Shanglan, a married couple.
Of course, the couple also brought their daughter, Lu Xiangyuan, along. The little girl who used to look like a glutinous rice ball has now grown to about half a person's height. She wears a light yellow dress, her black hair is tied into two buns with colorful hair ties, there is a little light between her eyebrows like a dewdrop, her face is round and cute, and she has two dimples. She is very lovable.
Although they knew that Chen Shuangbai was being polite to them, the couple still dared not be presumptuous. They respectfully performed the disciple's etiquette towards Chen Shuangbai and greeted him as True Person Xuhong.
Chen Shuangbai didn't want to make things difficult for them, so after exchanging greetings, she welcomed the three into the Moon-Gazing Pavilion.
Feiguang transformed into a boy in feathered robes and served the three of them tea.
"They are all planted in this mountain, but they cannot compare to the Jade Dew Spring from within the sect."
Chen Shuangbai smiled and took a sip. The couple's tense expressions eased slightly. They first thanked Chen Shuangbai for his care over the years, and then thanked him for the incense pills.
Chen Shuangbai smiled and agreed, chatting with the couple for a while.
Lu Xiangyuan was very curious about Feiguang, so she stared intently at Feiguang with her dark eyes, without moving an inch.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, and with their brows furrowed, Chen Shuangbai took the initiative to ask, "Did you two encounter something difficult to resolve today?"
Lu Zhiyuan and Huang Shanglan exchanged a glance, and then Lu Zhiyuan spoke, "To be honest, we came here today for two reasons. First, to thank you for the incense pills you sent, True Person. Second... we also have something we would like to ask True Person."
Seeing the seriousness in his expression, Chen Shuangbai also suppressed her smile and said solemnly, "Please speak freely. I will do my best to help in any way I can."
His words softened their expressions slightly.
" Yuan'er, come here."
Lu Zhiyuan gently called his daughter to his side, hugged his precious darling, and then looked at Chen Shuangbai with a pleading look in his eyes, saying, "If it were a matter between my husband and me, we wouldn't bother Dao Child. But Yuan'er is my beloved daughter, and I cannot delay her."
Chen Shuangbai's expression turned serious, and she asked, "Have outsiders been bullying you?"
Huang Shanglan hurriedly shook her head, repeatedly saying no, which eased the atmosphere a little. Then she carefully explained, "When Yuan'er had her aptitude tested not long ago, she got a Class A aptitude, with a Water and Wood Spirit Root. Her aptitude is considered very high."
Chen Shuangbai had some suspicions, so she wasn't surprised.
Chen Shuangbai had visited the child at his one-month celebration that year, and indeed, he had excellent potential.
Chen Shuangbai is no longer so opposed to taking on disciples. After all, both Fuguang and Yazhen are good kids, and their cultivation is more and more advanced than the other. They will surely be able to inherit his mantle and carry forward the Jade Spring Sect in the future.
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Xiangyuan, gently beckoned, and said softly, " Yuan'er, come to your martial uncle."
Lu Xiangyuan's memories of Chen Shuangbai were vague when she was young, but as she grew older and became more sensible, she heard many stories about this Jade Spring Dao Child. However, she was not afraid and went up to him.
Chen Shuangbai carefully examined the child's Root Bone and found that, as Lu Zhiyuan had said, the child's talent was excellent, only slightly weaker than Fuguang and Yazhen. Moreover, the child's Spirit Root was mostly water-based, with the other attributes being almost negligible, making him extremely suitable for the Jade Spring Sect, a major sect of water-based magic.
And that tiny dewdrop mark between his eyebrows—it's innate, giving the child a special ability... or perhaps you could call it a talent?
Chen Shuangbai smiled and said, " Yuan'er, do you have any little talents you can show your martial uncle?"
Lu Xiangyuan blinked her big, dark eyes, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then gave a crisp "Okay."
Immediately afterwards, the group went outside the pavilion.
The little girl stepped onto the cold pool outside, without using any Law Technique or relying on any Law Artifact, standing on the water's surface as if walking on flat ground.
"Uncle-Master, watch closely!"
Lu Xiangyuan turned her palm up and flipped it over gently.
A faint blue light emerged from her palm, gradually condensing into a crystal-clear droplet of water. The droplet rolled slowly in her palm, as if it had a life of its own, sometimes stretching into a thread, sometimes gathering into a round bead, extremely flexible.
Chen Shuangbai clapped his hands and sighed, saying, "The shimmering water is a masterpiece of nature."
"Truly a naturally Pearl-Holding Physique!"
