Attempts at Development

"Hello everyone, I'm Green Hill Yi Yun, a newbie Incense God who's been practicing for two and a half days! I'm a Nine-Tailed Fox from the Qingqiu Kingdom!"

"I am the god who controls frost and snow. Look how beautiful these snowflakes are! They're all real!"

"----This is my temple. I specially had solar panels installed, so the whole temple glows at night!"

"----This is my idol. Look, doesn't it look just like me!"

"I desperately need faith now, please have faith in me!"

Sitting in front of the computer, watching the Nine-Tailed Fox -eared girl with a stiff smile on her face in the video, Yin Yunze couldn't help but fall silent.

Yin Yunze already felt incredibly ashamed while filming.

Now, as Yin Yunze edits the video, he realizes that the shame is doubled!

Squeezing his toes tightly, Yin Yunze could only suppress his shame and speed up the editing. Fortunately, thanks to his god-like appearance, Yin Yunze didn't need to add any filters. He hastily added some background music and uploaded the edited video to various video websites.

Seeing the notification that the upload was complete, Yin Yunze felt both ashamed and somewhat expectant.

Given the speed of information dissemination on the internet in the modern world, Yin Yunze wouldn't need many more; just a few tens of thousands of followers would be enough to significantly boost Yin Yunze power.

In the Incense Divine Dao, while the passage of time is certainly important, ultimately, the number of believers is the most fundamental basis for a deity.

If there are enough believers, then a new god can bridge or even surpass the time gap.

Grandfather Huang Three lived for a hundred years and only had a few hundred followers, could he be a match for Yin Yunze, who now has thousands of followers!

Among the Incense God, the number of believers is the most important factor! Even power and authority take a backseat.

If possible, Yin Yunze actually doesn't really want to cause trouble in real life.

But there was no other way; if he wanted to increase the number of his followers in a short period of time, reality was that there was a piece of fat meat lying in front of Yin Yunze!

Although the chances are slim, if the video goes viral, it could gain hundreds of millions of followers.

Even a novice believer like Yin Yunze could instantly become a big shot in the Divine Dao.

However, such a thing only exists in fantasy.

Realistically speaking, Yin Yunze just wanted a few tens of thousands! With so many video websites, they should be able to gather tens of thousands, right?

After uploading the video, Yin Yunze stopped suffering in the real world and instead opened the Great Gate of Incense, heading to that other world.

Yin Yunze took a long sword with a wooden scabbard from the Dao Field and sat down cross-legged.

After assuming a posture with his five hearts facing upwards, Yin Yunze began to cultivate the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form according to the Cultivation Method of the Hungry Ghost Path.

The long sword that Yin Yunze specially acquired was the one that the Third Prison Warden previously possessed, named the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber.

After refining it, Yin Yunze realized that this longsword was less of a weapon and more of a Law Treasure for auxiliary purposes.

This longsword has two main functions: one is to purify the mind, which can make the wielder immune to some mental attacks; the other is to keep the wielder's emotions within a reasonable range, preventing situations such as losing judgment due to anger.

The second function is amplification; as long as one holds this Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber, one can amplify the effects of various Law Technique.

Because both functions are primarily auxiliary, Yin Yunze hadn't noticed anything special about the longsword during their previous battles.

But in reality, the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber was effective throughout the entire process.

The scabbard of this Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber Blade was modified by Yin Yunze from the Soul-Shaking Staff.

Yin Yunze couldn't find the original scabbard; he guessed it was destroyed by the Mystic Lightning).

So Yin Yunze thought that the Soul-Shaking Staff was becoming outdated, so he decided to modify it again.

As a primary weapon, the Soul-Shaking Staff is indeed lacking. But if it's just a scabbard, then it's quite good.

Who would have thought that this scabbard would have an additional effect!

However, this was something Yin Yunze was only able to do after his weapon-refining skills had improved.

Only after Yin Yunze truly began studying the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form did Yin Yunze discover that it also contained a part related to weapon crafting.

Of the five Law Techniques of the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form, only the Immovable Wisdom King Seal is a simple hand Law Technique. The other four, although initially Law Technique, can be transformed into tangible magical Law Artifact upon final cultivation.

Therefore, the process of cultivating the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form is also a process of refining these Law Technique into Law Artifact.

After discovering this, Yin Yunze didn't even bother with the other parts, but instead focused on studying the condensed method carefully.

Under the influence of Power of Incense Offerings, Yin Yunze upgraded the Incense Offering Artifact Refining Method he obtained from Grandfather Huang Three.

Yin Yunze calls this upgraded weapon-refining method the Bright Incense Artifact Forging Method. Compared to the Incense Offering Artifact Refining Method, the biggest improvement of the Bright Incense Artifact Forging Method is that it can change the form of materials without damaging their original effects.

That's why Yin Yunze was able to change the shape of that dragon-headed staff into the current scabbard.

As the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber placed on his lap took effect, Yin Yunze quickly cleared his mind of distractions and entered a meditative state.

The initial training for the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form involves choosing one of the five Law Technique derived from the Wisdom King Dharma Form as the main Law Technique to cultivate.

Only after mastering one Law Technique to a minor degree can one begin practicing a second one.

Therefore, the first Law Technique you choose at the beginning is quite crucial.

Generally speaking, most cultivators do not choose the strongest Immovable Wisdom King Seal as their first choice, but rather choose to cultivate the Great Wisdom Sword.

After all, among the five Law Techniques, the Great Wisdom Sword is the most powerful in terms of attack, and its damage can be increased by adding it to weapons.

If the weapon one possesses is good enough, the Great Wisdom Sword can further increase its power.

In comparison, while the Immovable Wisdom King Seal is powerful, it requires the use of both hands.

Furthermore, the defensive power only exists if the hand seal remains unchanged.

Unlike the other four Law Techniques, which can be cast once after making a hand seal, this one Law Technique has the same effect.

The "immovable" in the Immovable Wisdom King Seal refers to the fact that once the hand mudra is performed, it cannot be easily changed.

The single-handed mudra used by the Third Prison Warden is a technique that can only be used after Immovable Wisdom King Seal.

Furthermore, the protective power of a single-handed seal is only one-third that of a two-handed seal.

It's only good for beating weaker opponents; against opponents of the same level, it's completely unstoppable with its one-handed strike.

Simply exchanging your hands for the defense of the Immovable Wisdom King Seal is just putting on a tortoise shell that others can't break through for a while.

When things can no longer be sustained, death will still come.

In comparison, the Great Wisdom Sword, if enhanced by a weapon, can even deal damage to opponents of higher levels.

Therefore, even the Third Prison Warden chose the Great Wisdom Sword as their first cultivation Law Technique.

After thinking for a while, Yin Yunze unwaveringly chose the Immovable Wisdom King Seal.

Because, although the Immovable Wisdom King Seal requires both hands, Yin Yunze is not only the God of Frost and Snow, but also Nine-Tailed Fox!

Besides his hands, Yin Yunze also has nine big, fluffy tails!

These nine tails aren't just for adding to Yin Yunze's cuteness; each one possesses a dexterity no less than that of Yin Yunze's hands.

Moreover, in terms of attack methods, with a set of Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag and real explosives, Yin Yunze is certainly not lacking in explosive power.

Conversely, whether dealing with Grandfather Huang Three or the Third Prison Warden, Yin Yunze suffered losses in defense in both battles.

The simple Peace Character Talisman is no longer up to par with Yin Yunze's version. And while the Power of Incense Offerings and the Dynastic Karmic Luck increase magic resistance, their defensive effect against physical attacks is not very good.

If Yin Yunze's defenses had been strong enough at the time, he could have easily played with their suicide bombs.

Among opponents of the same level, if Yin Yunze only focuses on defense and relies solely on explosive attacks for offense, how many people can outlast Yin Yunze?

With such an advantage, it would be crazy for Yin Yunze not to choose the Immovable Wisdom King Seal.

Compared to the martial arts techniques taught by Zhang Yufei, the Immovable Wisdom King Seal is indeed much more difficult to cultivate.

Of course, with the help of his new body's talents and the blessing of Power of Incense Offerings, Yin Yunze still made steady progress.

What truly troubled Yin Yunze was the lack of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The Qi Refining Realm is fine; the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth in the Clear Creek Basin is sufficient.

However, starting from the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi becomes somewhat insufficient.

Basically, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Clear Creek Basin in a day is only enough for Yin Yunze to advance about ten percent of his progress.

However, this is normal, as the Clear Creek Basin is just an ordinary village, not some paradise.

This progress was only achieved because Yin Yunze forcibly seized it by relying on the authority of the Land God.

If a normal person or demon cultivates to the Foundation Establishment, they can probably only improve by a fraction of a percent each day. If they really want to continue improving, they have to go out and find places with more abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

But while other lesser demons can leave, can Yin Yunze, as the Land God, really run away?

If Yin Yunze wants to cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Seal to a minor level, he needs to reach at Illuminating Mystery realm.

After silently absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for the day, Yin Yunze opened his eyes with a touch of melancholy.

Yin Yunze once thought that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Clear Creek Basin was enough for her to squander.

Unexpectedly, after buying even a small amount of high-end goods, our household supplies were almost gone.

Yin Yunze had no better solution to this.

After much thought, the only thing Yin Yunze could think of was expanding his territory!

As long as Yin Yunze controls enough territory, Yin Yunze can obtain sufficient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!

For Yin Yunze, the Land God, as long as the quantity is sufficient, the quality can also be increased through the Land God's authority!

Just as he was thinking this, Yin Yunze realized that Xu Hanxian had also coincidentally arrived here under Peng Shulan's escort.

After Xu Hanxian entered the Qingnü Temple, Yin Yunze immediately pulled him into the Dao Field.

Holding the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber, Yin Yunze stood up from the ground and looked at Xu Hanxian, saying, "You've finally arrived."

Staggering slightly, Xu Hanxian cupped his hands and said, "I apologize for keeping Your Highness waiting!"

After observing Xu Hanxian for a while, Yin Yunze noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes and unsteady steps, looking like he had indulged in excessive sexual activity.

Of course, Yin Yunze also knew that Xu Hanxian was not indulging in excessive sexual activity, but rather that he had been too busy these past two days.

To prevent Xu Hanxian from dying suddenly, Yin Yunze pinched two Heal Wounds and Cure Illness and threw them at him.

After absorbing these two Heal Wounds and Cure Illness, Xu Hanxian's spirits improved somewhat.

Looking at Yin Yunze, Xu Hanxian his head and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, you've really put my little brother through a lot!"

F

Yin Yunze didn't respond to Xu Hanxian's complaints. As he got up and walked towards the back hall, he casually asked, "Where's Yue'er? Didn't she come with you? I promised her she could come with you to visit me. Don't think I went back on my word!"

"No, it won't."

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, Xu Hanxian hesitated somewhat, saying, "---- Yue'er, it's not appropriate for you to bother Lady Qingnü at this time."

Sensing Xu Hanxian's emotions, Yin Yunze also noticed his nervousness.

Clearly, Xu Hanxian has received some other information.

Ignoring Xu Hanxian's little scheme, Yin Yunze took a seat, fetched some tea leaves, and as usual brewed tea with snow, then poured a cup and pushed it to Xu Hanxian.

After all, he was a guest, and Xu Hanxian did need caffeine to perk himself up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Without being polite, Xu Hanxian accepted the tea with both hands, gently blew on it, took a sip, and then sighed, "I thought I would never have the chance to taste Snow Fragrance Tea personally brewed by the Lady Qingnü again in this lifetime!"

"How come I didn't know this tea was called that?" Seeing Xu Hanxian, Yin Yunze chimed in, "Besides, where does the aroma of 'White Snow' come from? Are you referring to the aroma of tea?"

"The white snow is naturally pure and tasteless, and if it were just the aroma of tea, there would be no need to elaborate." His gaze fell upon the tea, Xu Hanxian said earnestly, "This is the fragrance of the Empress. Just a touch is enough to make the aroma linger in this tea for a long time."

"No, every time I invite you for tea, why do you have to add this extra comment! To show off how educated you are, huh!" Seeing Xu Hanxian resurface, Yin Yunze was somewhat exasperated, rolling his eyes and saying, "Next time, I'll just offer you plain water!"

Upon Xu Hanxian actually thought about it for a moment, and then said, "If it is cooked by Her Majesty herself, even plain water will taste delicious!"

"You're really going to push your luck, aren't you!"

Yin Yunze was truly helpless. Sometimes, Xu Hanxian really didn't know what he couldn't say!

If Yin Yunze hadn't genuinely not sensed any offensive intent from Xu Hanxian, he would have suspected that Xu Hanxian was doing it on purpose.

With this kind of way of speaking, it's no wonder that Peng Shulan called Xu Hanxian had the desire but not the courage to commit the crime.

They really don't think before they speak; they don't know the difference between praise and flirting!

"I apologize, Your Majesty, but I sometimes do speak without thinking—"

Hearing Yin Yunze say this, Xu Hanxian came to his senses. After apologizing, he said seriously, "Your Majesty, let's get down to business! Actually, I came here not only to keep an appointment, but also to receive a message from the City God."

The City God City God asked me to pass on a message to you: he said that he was also in the wrong this time, so he's letting the matter rest. But if there's a next time, don't blame him for being ruthless!
