Chapter 82 Skill: Making Incense
Chen Shicheng asked Fourth Master Hui to calculate the time. One week later, the night will be the special time for making incense.
In other words, he must learn the skills of making incense and collect a mess of materials within a week.
Fortunately, he has merit and upgrading skills is very simple, and most of the materials are sold in pharmacies, including aged locust wood and those types of water that are difficult to collect.
But money can make all the difference. Although the materials that can be collected by ordinary people can only be used to make the lowest level of incense.
But as long as he can succeed once, he can directly use his merits to upgrade his skills to the full level. Then he can collect spiritual materials and make better Yinxiang in the future without wasting it.
“Teleport, if there is Zou Yin Xiang, wouldn’t I be rich!”
Muttering the words Zou Yin Xiang all the way, Chen Shicheng hurried back to the gathering place. He rushed directly to the drug store and packed up all the materials he could buy and took them away.
Then I found the helper at the gathering place and issued a task to find the remaining materials.
At first, these people were still shouting about the gathering of wild monsters outside and were unwilling to go out to take risks. But as Chen Shicheng took out the money one ingot after another, the voices of opposition became lower and lower, and finally they patted Chest promises that even if his life is thrown away, he will bring back what he wants.
In this way, under the inducement of money, only one day passed, and before Chen Shicheng had fully read the book on making incense, these people sent over all the materials that they could not buy.
Some clever people even specially found locust wood that had been dried in the shade, saving him the time of making it himself.
Looking at the materials on the table in the inn, as well as the mortars, pottery basins, hand grinders and other incense-making tools that he bought during this day, Chen Shicheng worked hard as before the college entrance examination and started to go crazy. Learn everything about handwriting.
It wasn't until nightfall that he put down the handwritten book in a daze and stood in front of the table, ready to show off his skills.
Of course, what he is making is not the yin incense that requires special time to be successful, but the most common sandalwood. As long as he can make sandalwood stably, incense making will appear in the skill bar. Skill.
At that time, merit will come in handy!
“Why are you so interested in walking the yin incense? Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be a sacred incense?”
Fourth Master Hui smoked more than a dozen in this day. After using the power of incense to worship the gods, my vitality finally recovered, and I became curious about Chen Shicheng's actions.
According to its thinking, Chen Shicheng is looking at his inventory every day. God-worshipping incense should be his priority in making hard currency, right?
"You don't understand, this walking Yinxiang is comparable to the teleportation array, how could you not pay attention to it." Chen Shicheng placed various tools at a convenient place, gearing up to start his own Making incense for the first time in my life.
"No matter how difficult it is to soar into the clouds, raise the fog, or raise the demonic wind, you can still fly with a weapon, not to mention the Five Elements Escape Technique and other methods of rushing. Why choose the extremely dangerous way of walking in the shadows?"
Fourth Master Hui still couldn't understand Chen Shicheng's brain circuit, "Is the underworld so easy to get to? Zou Yinxiang's ability to protect himself is almost useless. It is impossible to protect people's safety in the mysterious and treacherous underworld. Accidents may happen at any time. . ”
“After you went down, you probably died inexplicably before you could see your surroundings clearly.”
“Stop!”
Chen Shicheng quickly interrupted. After listening to Fourth Master Hui's long speech, he knew that these words were for his own good, but Fourth Master Hui didn't understand how important the method of teleportation was to the players.
The word "moths flying into flames" is a perfect word to describe players.
Wherever there is benefit, wherever there is excitement, players can be seen everywhere, one after another, just to try to see if they can take advantage of it.
Death is nothing.
He is now at level 8 and at the third level of Qi training. His life span has exceeded 120 years and reached 132 years. Death once or twice is not something that is difficult for him to accept. .
In reality, some people take the risk of never coming out again, drilling headfirst into the bottom of a well full of water to fish out a drill bit, just for that little money, not to mention that they can use their strength in this Game synchronized to reality.
Most importantly, the price paid is completely within a reasonable and acceptable range.
Players don't care at all whether it's dangerous or not. What they want is speed and the first bite of crab.
So a dangerous teleportation item like walking incense has become an extremely important prop, and at the national level, it is also a strategic material.
In this case, how could it be possible not to take it so seriously!
After signaling Fourth Master Hui to keep quiet, Chen Shicheng took the mortar and pounded the cut sandalwood into fine pieces, then put it into a hand grinder and ground it into powder.
Immediately afterwards, he picked a spice at random, crushed it into powder according to the same operation and set it aside for later use,
"The next step is the most important mixing"
< br>Chen Shicheng took the pottery bowl filled with sandalwood powder, grabbed a handful of spices and threw it in, and then started to mix it with water. He didn't know exactly how much to add, but there were still a lot of ingredients. He could try it unlimitedly. Wrong, you can always find the right ratio.
Under the influence of water, he gradually kneaded the spices and sandalwood powder into a brown dough, which was moderately soft and hard but not sticky.
Then he started the last step of making incense, which is rubbing incense.
Pulling off a small piece of sandalwood powder dough, Chen Shicheng began to knead it on the table, and soon a soft sandalwood stick appeared in front of him.
Without time to wait for natural drying, Chen Shicheng directly activated his true energy. The sandalwood immediately began to heat up, a white mist emerged, and 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 well-proportioned color, not greasy taste, and a well-proportioned and natural fragrance.
But the sandalwood stick in his hand, although it was perfectly balanced and natural during the process of rubbing the incense due to the strength of the sublimated sword technique, the color and taste are a bit hard to describe
Sure enough, after lighting the sandalwood, the smell is mottled and impure, and the burning speed is fast and slow, not even as good as mosquito coils.
Chen Shicheng snuffed out the sandalwood in frustration.
Obviously, making incense for the first time in my life ended in failure.
However, he was not discouraged and 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 more than fifty times in a row, Chen Shicheng finally found a stable ratio. , a finished product that was almost the same as the sandalwood sold in the incense shop 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. The smell is peaceful and pleasant, and it can be called a fine product. 】
Take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
Before the successful experience faded from his mind, Chen Shicheng rolled out more than a hundred sandalwood sticks in one go, and finally belatedly displayed a new prompt on the panel. [Congratulations on being self-taught and acquiring incense-making skills (entry level): you can make ordinary incense with simple materials, and selling it at temple fairs seems to make you worry-free about food and clothing? 】
"I have become the Taoist Master!"
Chen Shicheng looked at the incense-making skills that appeared in the skills column and began to invest merit without thinking.
[In the first year, you will start to make other types of incense based on your experience, including agarwood, sandalwood, cypress, osmanthus, and compound incense. 】
[In the second year, you, who knew all types of fragrances well, began to try to make fragrances with magical effects, but countless experiments failed. 】
[In the fifth year, you finally discovered that making incense does not seem to be that simple. The addition of various auxiliary materials seems to be somewhat related to the mutual complementation of refining medicine. 】
【In the eleventh year, you began to make the incense recorded in the manuscript on a regular basis. After countless experiments, you finally came up with a suitable ratio, and your incense making skills were upgraded to proficiency. 】
[In the seventeenth year, with the cooperation of Fourth Master Hui, you adjusted the techniques and material proportions countless times, and could produce all the incense in the handwritten book at any time, and your incense making skills were upgraded to mastery. 】
[In the twenty-ninth year, you have thoroughly tasted the incense products in the handwritten book, and the quality of the incense is at your fingertips. Among the types of incense recorded in the handwritten book, you are already a master of incense making. ! 】
“Wuhu, take off!”
Chen Shicheng closed his eyes and kept flicking his fingers, reviewing various incense-making techniques in his mind.
After the memory came together, he suddenly opened his eyes and began to operate on the table.
What I made this time was not the most ordinary sandalwood, but the sacred incense that Fourth Master Hui needed most.
The materials required have changed from ordinary sandalwood to statues of gods soaked in incense, and the auxiliary materials have also changed from ordinary herbs to elixirs from previous years.
However, with the perfection-level incense-making skills, these materials that he had never touched were turned into powder in an orderly manner, and then the proportions, blending and rubbing of incense were made, and soon a qualified god-worshiping incense appeared. on the desktop.
Although during the drying stage, he also used the method of drying the true essence, but with the top-notch techniques, the quality of this sacred incense is still higher than the ones he bought from Granny Chumaxian. .
"Fourth Master, take a sip and see how it tastes."
Chen Shicheng lit the incense to worship the gods, placed it in front of Fourth Master Hui, and kept encouraging him.
Looking at Chen Shicheng who kept looking at him, Fourth Master Hui was unable to complain.
After being shocked in the underground cave and saying that he could understand the formation immediately, he was no longer surprised that Chen Shicheng could learn to make incense in less than half an hour.
But you can’t really use me as a guinea pig for experiments!
He was once a big boss in the Jindan stage, so you can’t respect him!
Although he thought so in his heart, looking at the extremely high-quality sacred incense, Fourth Master Hui still couldn't resist the temptation and took a deep breath.
"Oh~~~~Good stuff!"
As the white smoke of the sacred incense was inhaled into its body, a strong and pure power of the incense suddenly entered its soul, and the warm feeling made it Fourth Master Hui looked intoxicated, and all he needed was a couch for him to lie on and enjoy.
“Ahem.”
While Fourth Master Hui was intoxicated by the power of the incense, Chen Shicheng coughed twice, snuffed out the incense head, rubbed his fingers in front of it and said , "The trial period has expired. If you want to continue, you will have to spend money."
"You and me, little bastard, you are awesome!"
Fourth Master Hui hates it He glanced at Chen Shicheng, took out the storage bag, and poured out all the elixirs inside, "Here they are, all for you!"
"This"
This time it's my turn Chen Shicheng was a little surprised and didn't know why Fourth Master Hui was so crazy.
He tentatively put some elixir into the storage column. Seeing that Fourth Master Hui was in pain, he did not stop him, so he packed everything and threw it into the storage column.
"Do you agree to my proposal?" Chen Shicheng pointed to his mask and asked with some confusion.
"Let's take a look." Fourth Master Hui shook his head in a low voice.
After seeing Chuma Xian lose its power due to its own reasons, it did have the idea of living on, not for itself, but just so that those who worship it can have a good death.
However, now that Chen Shicheng has learned how to make incense, it means that he can manage enough incense to worship gods in the future.
Looking at his enthusiastic attitude towards teleportation and teleportation, his Five Ghost Transporting Technique should be able to make some fun, and he does not have to cut off his own escape route for the time being and become a puppet who obeys orders.
Thinking of this, Fourth Master Hui discussed, "Since you have learned how to make incense, you can use my Five Ghost Transporting Technique from now on, but you must ensure that you provide me with enough incense to worship the gods. Enough incense power comes from the gods.”
But when he thought of Chen Shicheng’s character, he hesitated and continued, “If the cooperation is happy, maybe I will do it in the future. I agree with your proposal to replace that foreigner."
"This cake painter is better than my previous boss!" Chen Shicheng gave a thumbs up to Mr. Hui, "I might as well eat it. San’s cakes, at least they can fly.”
“Ah San?” At least give me the incense to worship the gods first, and then you can think about what I say. Anyway, the decision is yours."
Chen Shicheng always felt that Fourth Master Hui was trying to get away with nothing, but there was no evidence.
However, the elixir had already been collected and there was no way he could spit it out again. He could only doubtfully give all the incense in the box to Fourth Master Hui.
By the way, I used the remaining materials to make some twenty sacred incense sticks, which will be used as chips to drive Fourth Master Hui to use the Five Ghost Transporting Technique in the future.
After experiencing the process of making sacred incense, he was full of confidence in making yin incense.
But it is not a specific time yet, Chen Shicheng can only put away the tools and materials first, and wait until the lunar month and sun are lunar next week.
Ignoring Fourth Master Hui who was holding up incense sticks one by one, he turned around and began to check the status of Latiao.
