I became a saint in the game

Chapter 82 Skill: Incense Making
Chen Shicheng asked Mr. Hui Si to calculate the time. One night a week later was the special time for making incense.

In other words, he had to learn the skills of making incense within a week and collect all kinds of materials for use.

Fortunately, he had some good deeds, so it was very easy to upgrade his skills. Moreover, most of the materials were sold in pharmacies, except for the aged locust wood and those kinds of water, which were difficult to collect.

However, money talks. Although the materials that ordinary people can collect can only be used to make the lowest-grade Yin incense.

But as long as he can succeed once, he can directly use the merit to upgrade his skills to the maximum level. Then he can collect spiritual materials to make better Zou Yin Incense in the future without wasting it.

"Teleportation! If I had the Yinxiang, wouldn't I be rich?"

Muttering the three words "Zou Yin Xiang" all the way, Chen Shicheng rode back to the gathering place at full speed, rushed directly to the pharmacy, and packed up all the materials he could buy and took them away.

Then they found some hangers-on at the gathering place and issued a task to find the remaining materials.

At first, these people were shouting that there were wild monsters gathering outside and were unwilling to go out and take risks. However, as Chen Shicheng took out silver ingots one by one, the voices of opposition became lower and lower, and in the end they even patted their chests and guaranteed that even if they lost their lives outside, they would bring back what he wanted.

Just like that, under the lure of money, only one day passed, before Chen Shicheng had finished reading the book on incense making, these people sent him all the materials that were not available for purchase.

Some clever people even specially found dried locust wood, which saved him the time of preparing it himself.

Looking at the materials spread out on the table in the inn, as well as the mortars, ceramic basins, hand grinders and other incense-making tools he had bought that day, Chen Shicheng summoned the same hard work he put in before the college entrance examination and began to frantically learn everything from the handwritten book.

It was not until night fell that he put down his handwritten book in a daze and stood in front of the table ready to show his skills.

Of course, what he is making is not the Yin-making incense which requires a special amount of time to make successfully, but the most common sandalwood. As long as he can now make sandalwood stably, the incense-making skill will appear in his skill bar.

Then, the merits will come in handy!
"Why are you so concerned about walking Yin incense? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be an incense for worshipping the gods?"

During this day, Mr. Hui Si smoked more than a dozen incense sticks. With the power of the incense, his energy finally recovered and he became curious about Chen Shicheng's actions.

According to its idea, Chen Shicheng is eyeing his little stock every day, so incense for offering to gods should be the hard currency that he prioritizes to produce, right?
"You don't understand. This Zou Yin Incense is something that can be compared to a teleportation array. How can I not take it seriously?" Chen Shicheng placed various tools in convenient places, rubbing his hands and preparing to start making incense for the first time in his life.

"At the very least, you can fly by flying with flying tools, such as soaring clouds, raising fog, or raising evil winds. Not to mention the Five Elements Escape Technique, there are other ways to travel quickly. Why would you choose to travel in the dark, which is extremely dangerous?"

Gray Fourth Master still couldn't understand Chen Shicheng's train of thought, "Is the underworld so easy to go to? The protective ability of Yinxiang is almost nothing. It is impossible to protect people in the mysterious and treacherous underworld. Accidents can happen at any time."

"After you go down, you may die inexplicably before you can even see your surroundings clearly."

"stop!"

Chen Shicheng quickly interrupted Mr. Gray's long speech. He knew that he was saying all this for his own good, but Mr. Gray simply didn't understand how important the method of teleportation was to the players.

The phrase "moths to a flame" is the most appropriate to describe players.

Wherever there is benefit and excitement, you can see players, one after another, rushing over just to try and see if they can get any advantage.

What does death mean?

He is now level 8, the third stage of Qi training period. His life span has exceeded 120 years and reached 132 years. Dying once or twice is not something difficult for him to accept.

In reality, there are people who risk never coming out by diving headfirst into a water-filled well to retrieve a drill bit, just for that little bit of money. Even more so in this game that can synchronize power with reality.

Most importantly, the price paid is well within a reasonable and acceptable range.

The players don’t care whether it is dangerous or not. What they want is speed and to be the first to eat the crab.

Therefore, a dangerous teleportation item like Yinxiang has become an extremely important prop. From a national perspective, it is even a strategic material.

In this case, how could I not take it so seriously!

After signaling Mr. Hui Si to keep quiet, Chen Shicheng first took the mortar, pounded the chopped sandalwood into fine pieces, and then put it into a hand mill to grind it into powder.

Then, he randomly picked a spice, crushed it into powder using the same method, and set it aside for later use.
“The next step is the most important mixing.”

Chen Shicheng took the ceramic bowl containing sandalwood powder, threw in a handful of spices, and began to mix it with water. He didn't know exactly how much to add, but there were still a lot of ingredients, so he could try and error endlessly and always find the right proportion.

Under the action of water, he gradually kneaded the spices and sandalwood powder into a brown dough that was neither too soft nor too hard and not sticky.

Then, he began the last step of making incense, which was rubbing the incense.

Pulling off a small piece of sandalwood powder dough, Chen Shicheng began to rub it on the table, and soon a soft sandalwood appeared in front of him.

There was no time to wait for it to dry naturally, so Chen Shicheng directly activated his true energy. The sandalwood immediately began to heat up and emitted a white mist. The software hardening was completed in the blink of an eye.

However, when he looked at the sandalwood in his hand, he felt something was wrong. According to the description in the handwritten book, the finished sandalwood had a uniform color, non-greasy flavor, and a uniform and natural fragrance.

But the sandalwood in his hand, although it was perfectly even and natural during the rubbing process because of the power control of the sublimation-level knife technique, the color and smell were a bit hard to describe.
As expected, after lighting the sandalwood, the smell was mottled and impure, and the burning speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, even worse than mosquito coils.

Chen Shicheng pinched out the sandalwood in frustration.

Obviously, the first attempt at making incense in my life ended in failure.

But he was not discouraged. He immediately cheered up and started his second attempt.

As a result, the taste and appearance this time were not as good as the first time.

"continue!"

the third time.
"Come again!"

the fourth time.
After making it like this for more than fifty times, Chen Shicheng finally found a stable ratio, and a finished product that was almost the same as the sandalwood sold in incense shops was born in his hands.

[You have obtained sandalwood: the most common incense, without any magical effects. It is usually used by ordinary people to worship their ancestors. It has a peaceful and pleasant smell and can be called a fine product.]

Take advantage of the victory!

While the experience of success had not yet faded from his mind, Chen Shicheng worked hard to rub out more than a hundred sticks of sandalwood, and finally a new prompt was displayed on the panel. [Congratulations on your self-study and obtaining the skill of making incense (beginner): You can make ordinary incense with simple materials, and selling it at the temple fair seems to make you worry-free about food and clothing? ]

"Master Dao, I am done!"

Chen Shicheng looked at the incense-making skill that appeared in the skill column and began to invest merit without thinking.

[In the first year, you will start making other types of incense based on your experience, including agarwood, sandalwood, cypress, osmanthus, and complex incense.]

[In the second year, you are familiar with all types of incense products and start to try to make incense products with magical effects, but countless experiments have failed. ]

[In the fifth year, you finally discovered that making incense is not that simple. The addition of various auxiliary materials seems to be somewhat related to the mutual promotion and mutual restraint of refining medicine.]

[In the eleventh year, you began to regularly make the incense recorded in the manuscript. After countless experiments, you finally found the right ratio and your incense making skills were upgraded to proficient.]

[In the seventeenth year, with the cooperation of Mr. Hui Si, you adjusted the techniques and material ratios countless times, and can make all the incense products in the handwritten book at any time, and the incense making skill is upgraded to proficient.]

[In the twenty-ninth year, you have mastered all the incense products in the handwritten book, and you can easily make incense of high quality. Among the incense products recorded in the handwritten book, you are already a master incense maker! ]

"Wuhu, take off!"

Chen Shicheng closed his eyes, moving his fingers continuously, reviewing various incense-making techniques in his mind.

After the memory came together, he suddenly opened his eyes and began to work on the table.

What was made this time was not the most common sandalwood incense, but the incense for worshiping gods that Mr. Gray Fourth needed most.

The materials needed changed from ordinary sandalwood to statues that were heavily influenced by incense, and the auxiliary materials also changed from ordinary herbs to elixirs from previous years.

However, with the perfect incense-making skills, these materials that he had never touched before were methodically turned into powder, and then they were proportioned, blended and rubbed, and soon a qualified incense stick for worshiping gods appeared on the table.

Although he also used the method of Zhenyuan drying during the drying stage, but with the top-level technique, the quality of this incense stick was still higher than those he bought from the spirit medium.

"Fourth Master, take a sip and see how it looks."

Chen Shicheng lit the incense sticks and stuck them in front of Mr. Hui Si, constantly instigating him.

Looking at Chen Shicheng who kept glaring at him, Mr. Hui Si was too tired to complain.

After being shocked by how someone could comprehend the formation instantly in the underground cave, he was no longer surprised that Chen Shicheng could learn how to make incense for offering to gods in less than half an hour.

But you can't really use me as a guinea pig for your experiments!
After all, he was once a big shot in the Jindan stage, can't you show some respect!
Although he thought so in his heart, looking at the high-quality incense sticks, Mr. Hui Si couldn't resist the temptation and took a deep breath.

“Oh~~~~good stuff!”

As the white smoke from the incense was inhaled into its body, a rich and pure power of the incense immediately entered its soul. The warm feeling made Mr. Hui Si intoxicated. All he needed was a couch for him to lie on and enjoy.

"Cough cough."

Just as Mr. Gray was intoxicated by the power of the incense, Chen Shicheng coughed twice, pinched out the incense stick, rubbed his fingers in front of it and said, "The trial period has expired. If you want to continue, you have to pay."

"You and me. You little bastard, you are awesome!"

Gray Fourth Master looked at Chen Shicheng with hatred, took out the storage bag, and poured out all the spiritual medicines in it, "Here, all for you!"

"This"

This time it was Chen Shicheng's turn to be a little surprised. He didn't know what was wrong with Mr. Hui Si.

He tentatively put some elixirs into the storage compartment. Seeing that Mr. Gray felt pained but did not stop him, he packed up everything and threw it into the storage compartment.

"Do you agree with my proposal?" Chen Shicheng pointed at his mask and asked with some confusion.

"Let's wait and see." Mr. Gray shook his head in a low voice.

After seeing the spirit lose its power due to its own reasons, it did have the idea of ​​continuing to live, not for itself, but just to give those who worshipped it a good end.

However, now that Chen Shicheng has learned how to make incense, it means that he will have enough incense to worship gods in the future.

Seeing how enthusiastic he is about teleportation and transmission, my Five Ghosts Moving Technique should be able to bring in some good things. For the time being, I don't have to cut off my retreat and become a puppet that obeys others' orders.

Thinking of this, Master Hui Si discussed with him, "Since you have learned how to make incense, you can use my Five Ghosts Moving Technique from now on. However, you must ensure that you provide me with enough incense for the gods to descend with.

But thinking of Chen Shicheng's character of not giving up until he sees the rabbit, Gray Fourth Master hesitated and added, "If the cooperation is pleasant, I might really agree to your proposal in the future and replace that foreign devil."

"This cake is better than my previous boss's!" Chen Shicheng gave Gray Fourth Master a thumbs up and said, "I might as well go eat Ah San's cake, at least his cake can fly."

"Asan? What the hell?"

Gray Fourth Master spread his two little paws and said, "Since you have already taken the things, at least give me the incense first, and then you can think about what I say. Anyway, the decision is yours."

Chen Shicheng always felt that Mr. Hui Si was trying to get something for nothing, but he had no evidence.

However, he had already accepted the spiritual medicine and could not give it up. He could only give all the incense in the box to Mr. Hui Si with doubt.

By the way, use the remaining materials to make more than twenty incense sticks for worshiping gods, which will be used as bargaining chips to force Mr. Gray to use the Five Ghosts Moving Technique in the future.

After experiencing the process of making incense for worshiping gods, he was full of confidence in making incense for Yin.

But now is not the specific time, so Chen Shicheng can only put away the tools and materials and wait until the cloudy month, cloudy day and cloudy time next week.

Ignoring Mr. Gray who was holding up incense sticks one by one to worship the gods, he turned around and began to check the status of the spicy strips.
