I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 90 Awakening Incense

Chapter 89 Awakening Incense

the next morning.

Chi Le leaned against the wall, her steps unsteady as she emerged from the bathroom.

The late-night snack he ate last night kept him up for half the night.

After each release, I finally feel sleepy when I get back to bed.

My stomach felt like it was being churned inside.

This forced him to get out of bed and head straight to the bathroom.

Splash splash—

After a quick wash, Chi Le's weakness lessened somewhat.

Pushing open the door, I ran into Luo Yang, who was also coming out.

The two exchanged a glance.

They both saw the weariness in each other's eyes.

Both of them secretly vowed never to go to that fried noodle stall again.

As they went downstairs, Chi Le and the other person ran into Wu Min and Chai Siyuan again.

The same dark circles under the eyes, the same weakness.

The four of them secretly vowed to themselves that they would never go to that fried noodle stall again!

Upon arriving at the main building, Chai Siyuan and the others parted ways with Chi Le at the stairwell.

Today I will receive guidance from Zhao Hai on the third floor.

There is guidance on becoming a spiritual master.

The place where Chai Siyuan and the others received instruction on the knowledge required to become martial arts practitioners was on the second floor.

Two groups of people separated at the stairwell.

On the second floor, where the martial arts practitioners were located, there were dozens of people.

And on the stairs leading to the third floor.

Besides the area in front of the pool—

Alright, that person has reached the third floor, and now only Chi Le is on the stairs.

We arrived at the classroom on the third floor.

Unlike the rooms where we studied theoretical knowledge, this classroom didn't have chairs.

Instead, meditation cushions were placed at intervals.

Because we arrived late.

The seats at the front were already occupied.

Chi Le then randomly found a seat in the back and sat down.

With him included, all eight people who were assigned to the Spiritualist path in this training camp arrived at the classroom.

"ah----"

Zhao Hai yawned as he walked into the classroom.

"Today—we will learn about the Divine Consciousness Master."

Chi Le noticed Zhao Hai's eye sockets.

They have almost the same dark circles as me.

He seemed to sense it.

One more person has sworn never to go to that fried noodle stall.

"The so-called spiritual master."

"It refers to those who develop and utilize superhuman abilities, such as mental power."

"I don't think anyone has actually entered the Ghost World yet, right?"

After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he paused and glanced at everyone's faces.

No one answered.

"That's good."

"As you all probably already know from yesterday, to gain extraordinary abilities, you need to hunt down the demons and evil spirits that appear at the initial location when you enter the strange world and obtain the [Awakening Mist]."

"But there's one more thing I need to add."

"That is, people whose abilities lean towards spiritual senses are very likely to encounter evil spirits as the first monster they encounter after entering the strange world."

"Of course, it could also be a demon."

"If it's a demon, consider yourself lucky. If your skills are far superior to ordinary people, you can easily deal with it and obtain the [Awakening Mist]."

"But if it's an evil spirit, then that's troublesome."

"The attacks of evil spirits are primarily aimed at the mind and soul, things that are currently intangible to you."

"If you encounter evil spirits now, it's basically a death sentence for you."

"so----"

As he spoke, Zhao Hai yawned again and took out a slender bamboo jar from his small bag.

A dark brown incense stick was poured out.

He continued.

"Now let's train your mental strength so that when we go to the Ghost World, we won't be so passive."

After saying that, Zhao Hai lit the incense stick.

White smoke rose, leaving a straight white trail in the air.

The smoke rose all the way to the ceiling before slowly dissipating.

Upon smelling the fragrance, Zhao Hai spoke.

"Close your eyes and relax. You will feel a pulling sensation in a moment. Don't resist it, just accept it."

"By the way, who is Chi Le? Raise your hand so I can see."

He heard Zhao Hai call his name.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Chi Le raised his hand.

"OK."

Zhao Hai nodded, seemingly only wanting to know what the person with the name Chi Le actually looked like.

"Stop looking, relax, don't waste your time, these things cost several thousand each!"

Zhao Hai shouted, and the person who was looking at Chi Le immediately looked away and closed their eyes to calm down.

It must be said that all eight people present were capable of acquiring extraordinary mental abilities.

It only lasted less than a minute.

Everyone's breathing had calmed down, and they had entered a state of tranquility and meditation.

Seeing everyone's state, Zhao Hai nodded, sat down cross-legged, and said softly.

"Back then, I didn't have the resources for this; the Special Affairs Bureau was really willing to invest so much."

"I just don't know how long this group can last."

Before the words were even finished, one of them cried out in surprise, abruptly breaking free from his meditative state.

"Damn it, don't come any closer!"

The man looked terrified and scrambled backward on all fours.

He only came to his senses after hitting the wall.

"What am I doing—"

The man looked around at everything familiar, and the fear in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"How are you feeling?"

Zhao Hai asked with a grin.

"Teacher Zhao, what was that just now?"

The man was still somewhat shaken.

The sight he saw after entering a meditative state was so terrifying that it made his heart tremble.

"Tell me first, what did you see and what did you experience?"

Zhao Hai wanted to sit down and listen to him slowly, but he was hesitant to sit down.

What he ate last night made his whole butt sore.

They didn't pay attention to Zhao Hai, who had changed his posture and continued to stand.

The man recalled.

When I opened my eyes again, I was on the top of a tall building.

"Going down, you can't see the bottom."

"Look up, and the clouds will be all around you."

"There are unfamiliar monsters chasing me from behind."

"All I can do is keep running, and keep running."

"I ran and ran, and then I came back."

As he spoke, the man stomped his foot, seemingly to check if the concrete floor beneath his feet was solid.

"This thing—"

Zhao Hai pointed to the still-burning incense sticks.

"It's called 'Awakening Incense,' a blend of 'Void-Seeing Grass,' 'Fear-Hooking Vine,' and 'Spirit-Calling Leaf,' along with some malevolent 'strange products.'"

"As for the function, are you feeling a bit swollen or distended in your head right now?"

The man shook his head.

"It feels bloated—hmm?"

When Zhao Hai heard an answer that was completely different from what he had expected, he suddenly didn't know how to continue.

"Perhaps you didn't persist long enough, and the [Awakening Incense] didn't give you enough feedback, so you couldn't feel it."

"Let's put it that way."

"The effect of the 'Awakening Incense' is to manifest your greatest fears in your mental world."

"And it will make you face it."

"People's emotions fluctuate rapidly when faced with fear."

"Continuous high-intensity fluctuations are an effective way to enhance mental strength before acquiring extraordinary abilities."

"The longer you can remain in the vision manifested by the [Awakening Incense], the longer the mental fluctuations will last, and the better the effect will be."

After hearing this, the man spoke.

"Then should I go into meditation again now?"

'

"No need, you only get one chance a day, don't waste your time."

"Wait and see how they react when they wake up, I guarantee you'll be laughing your head off."

The man watched as the remaining seven people trembled continuously, but their eyelids remained closed.

Regret welled up in my heart.

I should have persisted longer.
