Chapter 69

After understanding the meaning of the tomb, Lin Feng looked forward even more to obtaining things like the Century-Old Dormant Yin Wood and the Underworld Earthen Bowl that could be used to nurture ghosts.

Because he did not just have the Xi Gui; now that the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost had been added, there were a total of five ghosts.

"I have already mastered the production method of Ghost-Nurturing Incense through those few corpses from the Incense Temple; next, I can try to collect some raw materials to make it myself."

"Right, those few broken sticks of incense seem to be 'Nether-Connecting Incense' that can communicate with the Netherworld region; people from the Incense Temple communicate with those ancestors through this kind of incense."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng took out the Nether-Connecting Incense obtained from Song Renjie's body.

This thing smelled of a faint rot, looked about the thickness of a thumb, and the color presented a brownish-brown.

In Song Renjie's memory, this kind of incense could only be made through special means, and it could directly connect consciousness to the Netherworld region where the Incense Temple Ancestors were.

"It's a pity that this thing can only send consciousness over; if I could send physical objects or ghosts over, then I would have to think of a way to send them a big gift!"

After looking at it a few times, Lin Feng put it away again; now he had not thought of a better way to use it.

"With the Xi Gui's current absorption speed, a Great Ghost can basically be absorbed in a day through the method of offering; next, I have to think of a way to find other ghost items to use as offerings."

"According to the methods of the Incense Temple, I can use Soul-Attracting Incense to attract wild ghosts around; hmm, it feels a bit like fishing."

Lin Feng once again rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items and found a few sticks of incense that looked ordinary.

Soul-Attracting Incense, three sticks per offering; after lighting them and inserting them at intersections, alley ends, and bridge sides, they could attract wild ghosts from all around.

There were two main purposes for incense makers to make these sticks of incense.

One was to lure away relatively dangerous ghosts through this kind of incense, and the second was to insert this kind of incense at fixed locations to lure wild ghosts around to kill people.

In short, the characteristic possessed by this kind of incense was that it could attract ghosts; how to use it specifically depended on the user themselves.

"I can try it first; even if I can catch three or five ghosts, it will be enough to offer to the Xi Gui for a few days."

No sooner said than done, Lin Feng took out three sticks of Soul-Attracting Incense, lit them, and walked toward an intersection of a small path in the mountain forest.

The night in the mountain forest was naturally extremely dark, and the night wind blew through the leaves, making a constant "sasha" sound.

Accompanied by Lin Feng's movement, the smell emitted by the Soul-Attracting Incense began to drift to the mountain forest and all over the graveyard.

The graveyard outside Mingyuan Juncheng was originally a place where supernatural things happened frequently; at this time, as the smell of the Soul-Attracting Incense spread, wild ghosts that had fallen into dormancy or were hiding were soon awakened.

After passing through a forest, Lin Feng inserted the Soul-Attracting Incense, which had already burned halfway, at the intersection of the mountain road.

"Pad-da~ pad-da~"

"Crack"

Suddenly, very light footsteps and the sound of dry branches and fallen leaves being stepped on rang out.

Lin Feng turned a blind eye to such movements and did not move at all, just silently watching a broken humanoid ghost shadow pass through the forest and come before him.

After this ghost came to Lin Feng's side, a deathly gray color immediately appeared in its eyes, and it was about to reach out and choke Lin Feng's neck.

But just at this moment, streams of blood-colored fine lines appeared out of thin air and bound it completely; it was just a small ghost, and it did not need Lin Feng to make any move before it was caught by the Embroidery Ghost and dragged into the shadow world to be imprisoned.

"Cough cough"

Soon, there was movement in the mountain forest again; this time, what came looked like a living person.

This person was hunched over, constantly coughing, his clothes were full of stains, and he was swaying as if he were about to die of illness.

Just from his movements, voice, and appearance, he seemed to be a person who was terminally ill, but Lin Feng knew that this thing was still a ghost!

"Clatter~"

As this ghost approached, the surrounding trees began to shake and wither, the fallen leaves on the ground began to rot, and mold spread toward the surroundings like a water flow.

"Heh, didn't expect it to actually attract a Fierce Ghost!"

Noticing this change, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and then the Xi Gui possessed him instantly, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel turned in his hand.

"Monster, eat a cudgel from Old Sun!"

The Sick Ghost, which was originally spreading supernatural power to the surroundings, was instantly hit by Lin Feng's sudden strike.

The Xi Gui's terrifying supernatural power suppressed it directly, and then sheets of red paper money quickly drifted down and covered the Sick Ghost's body.

Then, blood-colored fine lines entangled the sealed Sick Ghost and dragged it directly into the shadow world to be imprisoned.

Suppressing, sealing, binding, and imprisoning—the four actions were completed in one go, not giving this ghost any chance to react at all.

"Sasha~"

Soon, two more small ghosts came, but before they could even get close, they were forcibly dragged into the shadow world.

By this time, the Soul-Attracting Incense was about to burn out; Lin Feng waited for a while longer and discovered that no new ghosts were attracted.

"Didn't expect this thing to be quite useful!"

Looking at the remaining Soul-Attracting Incense, Lin Feng's eyes shone instantly; although the Soul-Attracting Incense was running out.

But he had learned the craft of making Soul-Attracting Incense!

"Good! Very good!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had harvested one Fierce Ghost and three small ghosts; Lin Feng was quite satisfied with this.

Luring wild ghosts over to suppress and capture them in this way was not only convenient but also safe.

At the very least, it was much safer than breaking into the Netherworld to catch ghosts; even if he accidentally attracted multiple ghosts or ghosts with relatively strong strength, it would not be too outrageous.

Methods were found for several important matters, and Lin Feng finally felt much more at ease.

Feeling that his spirit was a bit tired, he returned directly to the wooden house; tonight could be said to have had various sudden events, and by now, he already felt a bit tired.

Just as Lin Feng was researching how to make ghosts grow quickly, the other side was also quite lively.

In the Netherworld, the Five Ancestors of the Incense Temple returned here after leaving Mingyuan Juncheng.

At this time, there were pits and cracks everywhere on his body, and large amounts of thick smoke sprayed out from these pits and cracks.

The body that was originally like a giant statue now looked somewhat like some kind of fragile pottery, as if it would collapse and shatter when facing a powerful strike.

Besides the Five Ancestors, there were two other giant statues of the same size around him; at this time, these two giant statues were releasing some supernatural power to suppress the thick smoke that kept escaping from the Five Ancestors' body.

"Five Ancestors, this, this..."

Song Zhong, the current Sect Leader of the Incense Temple who rushed over after receiving the news, widened his eyes upon seeing this scene.

He really could not think of why, even though the Five Ancestors had personally taken action and had the Six Ancestors and Seven Ancestors assisting from the side, it would still become like this!

"Fierce Ghost! Two! Two!"

"Treacherous villain! Person of the chaotic world!"

"Last time, last time it wasn't his full strength..."

However, the only response to him was short words; at this time, the Five Ancestors' state was extremely abnormal, and with the slightest fluctuation of emotion, a large amount of thick smoke would drill out from his body.

Hearing this, Song Zhong's heart was shaken; could it be that that person had been reserving his strength all along?

"The chaotic world is coming, the Incense Master is about to revive; you should retreat, and do not go and provoke that person again!"

But just at this moment, the Six Ancestors suddenly spoke, and the news he said made Song Zhong tremble all over.

The chaotic world is coming, the Incense Master is reviving; the importance of this matter instantly exceeded everything else.

As the Sect Leader of the Incense Temple, he knew far more than others.

"Yes, disciple takes his leave!"

Song Zhong hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then his figure slowly disappeared in this Netherworld place.

Accompanied by Song Zhong's departure, the angry roar of the Five Ancestors suddenly spread throughout the whole place.
