Chapter 126: Pure Incense Jade Bowl

The Day-Roaming God was clearly somewhat confused.

"Whatever the Prefecture Lord wishes to ask, speak and let me hear it!"

Su Yuanshan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Do you know who might be able to repair magical treasures such as the City God's Demon-Slaying Sword?"

"Repairing a magical treasure of the City God's Demon-Slaying Sword type? This... uh, let me think!"

He pondered for a moment and said, seemingly uncertain.

"You should go to Shanwei Lin to take a look; perhaps you will find the result you desire!"

"Farewell!"

Saying this, he cupped his hands toward Su Yuanshan, and in the blink of an eye, he rode the clouds and departed.

Shanwei Lin? The Shanwei Lin three hundred li south of Huangliang Xiancheng?

To tell the truth, he had indeed heard of this place!

Come to think of it, that place was also under his jurisdiction, only it was somewhat mysterious; that place was a stretch of primeval mountain forest, sparsely populated.

However, according to the records in the Huangliang Immortal gazetteer, it was not like this at the beginning. Three hundred years ago, that is, during the Xiling Dynasty before the Kaicheng Dynasty, this place was once the auxiliary capital of the Xiling Dynasty and was quite prosperous.

But as the Xiling Dynasty gradually declined, and even fell, it grew increasingly desolate during the centuries of power center migration, finally becoming a wasteland, swallowed by mountain forests, vegetation, and other flora, with history submerged in the long river of time.

It evolved until today, becoming a primeval mountain forest, ancient and mysterious.

The surrounding Yinchai and ghost officials came over one after another to offer congratulations!

While Su Yuanshan was deep in thought,

"Congratulations to the Prefecture Lord on your promotion!"

Gradually withdrawing his thoughts, although Su Yuanshan felt he had suffered a bit of a loss, the other Yinchai and ghost officials did not see it that way. In their view, Su Yuanshan had risen another rank, becoming a superior among superiors, which could be called imposing in every way.

A Prefecture City God, that was an existence beyond their reach!

Although he felt a little awkward in his heart, Su Yuanshan also saw the benefits. Since he had been promoted to the prefecture level, the resources he would obtain would naturally be much more than those of a county-level City God; this point went without saying. Moreover, this was clearly one step closer to the Penglai Great Immortal Trial.

Once he was promoted two more levels and became a Capital City God, he would be a true mid-stage Divine Lord. Then, by continuing to rise, once he reached the peak stage of a Divine Lord, he would meet one of the conditions for participating in the Penglai Great Immortal Trial!

So this was still meaningful! Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan's mood became much more cheerful,

and then he said.

"Pass down the order: all departments and bureaus are to search with full effort for the whereabouts of Baie Hou. Once there is news of him, report to this seat immediately!"

The crowd of Yinchai and ghost officials replied in unison, "Yes," and then went off to handle the matter.

Seeing that they had all left, Su Yuanshan let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, it seems I must also take precautions and prepare well; I should first go and get the City God's Demon-Slaying Sword repaired.

But who had the ability to repair this treasure? Su Yuanshan had not the slightest clue.

The sky gradually brightened, and the sun slowly rose. Perhaps because it was autumn, and also due to the weather, the sun did not appear very bright; it was like a round plate, emitting a white light, hanging in the firmament.

There were only a few wisps of clouds, and although the sky looked clean, it was not very azure.

Because the City God's Underworld Office and the Chenghuang Temple overlapped in the mortal world, although Su Yuanshan was strolling in the courtyard of the Chenghuang Temple, no one could see him.

The number of pilgrims coming to offer incense was neither many nor few.

Su Yuanshan noticed them one by one offering incense in turn, then kneeling down before the statue of the City God and kowtowing devoutly.

This kind of prostration and worship, he had seen in various large Buddhist temples in his previous life, and at that time he was also one of them, but now his identity had changed; he had become the object of worship for these pious men and women.

To say he wasn't proud or happy would be a lie.

Among the pilgrims coming to offer incense were children with double buns in their hair, babbling, who, under the instruction of their parents, kowtowed to pray for blessings and health; there were also elderly people with pine-bark skin, crane-white hair, and wrinkled faces, who, with hunched bodies, tremblingly put down their canes to kowtow and pray to him.

There were middle-aged merchants in fine silk robes with potbellies, and also beautiful women in colorful dresses with wide sleeves, young ladies of noble families.

There were commoners in coarse cloth and hemp garments, and also children of official families in fine silks. The only thing they had in common was offering incense and kowtowing to him, and they were muttering words, praying incessantly.

"Grandpa City God, please protect our whole family in peace, protect this commoner with health and longevity, free from illness and disaster!"

"City God, please protect this little one so that I may pass the imperial examination next year and rank high in the Autumn Examination!"

"Please, Earl Weiling, protect my Tiedan so he can marry a wife soon! I kowtow to you."

"My family is preparing to build a house tomorrow, I implore Grandpa City God to bless us so it goes smoothly!"

"Please Grandpa City God, bless me so that my wishes come true!"

Wisps of incense smoke were inhaled into Su Yuanshan's mouth. He clearly felt that the Golden Light Divine Power on his body had increased a little, but these incense offerings were clearly a drop in the bucket for him, far from enough; he was still a very, very long way from one of the conditions for participating in the Penglai Great Immortal Trial. After all, that condition was: accumulate enough incense from three million people!

Not to mention that he had to rely on incense to improve his Golden Light Divine Power; as his cultivation realm improved, the amount of incense required was simply massive!

And only by helping people realize their wishes would the incense become more and more prosperous!

However, Su Yuanshan would naturally not handle those trivial little wishes himself, but would delegate them to his subordinate Yin gods to do. Of course, if a subordinate did so, they would also take a share of his incense; as for how much, it all depended on his mood and how much he was willing to give.

After all, if he had to do every trivial little thing himself, he would probably be exhausted to death before the work was finished, because there were too many.

By the way, wasn't there the Pure Incense Jade Bowl?

While thinking, Su Yuanshan poured the remaining incense he had just collected into the Pure Incense Jade Bowl.

The so-called Pure Incense Jade Bowl existed within Su Yuanshan's divine sense space,

a small round tripod that appeared to be carved from white jade.

The small round tripod was composed of two oval-shaped parts, small on top and large on the bottom, and there was a rectangular ear on each side. The bottom of the small round tripod had three cylindrical tripod legs.

The two tripod ears of the small round tripod were hollow, like two holes, one for air intake and one for air exhaust.

As Su Yuanshan cast the incense into it in wisps, not long after, he felt characters beginning to emerge on the spirit beads inside the Spirit Void Ring.

"The Pure Incense Jade Bowl has purified the incense energy once; its grade is Red!"

"The Pure Incense Jade Bowl has purified the incense energy once; its grade is Red!"

"The Pure Incense Jade Bowl has purified the incense energy once; its grade is Red!"

After Su Yuanshan absorbed those purified red incense offerings, he discovered that compared to directly absorbing the unpurified incense, the efficacy had increased by nearly double, and his Golden Light Divine Power had risen quite a bit.

He thought to himself, as expected, the efficacy possessed by purified incense offerings is better than that before purification!

This is only red incense, if this Pure Incense Jade Bowl were to be upgraded and purify cyan, white, or even yellow incense, wouldn't its efficacy be even more incredible?

It seems this Pure Incense Jade Bowl must be used more and used diligently in the future!

Now, as for this...........
