Chapter 134: Succeeded
Galong, performing a ritual dance, came to Wu Sang’s side and scolded in a low voice, "What’s going on?"
"Brother Galong, let me handle this." Wu Sang was also startled by Yuan Ming’s actions and quickly responded.
"I’ve seen that man twice before. He seems to be the incense guest who is learning to make incense from you, Wu Sang. He was so disrespectful to Lord Canine Tooth!" Galong’s face was full of anger, but it was hidden behind his dog-headed mask, invisible to others.
Disturbing the ritual was a great disrespect to Lord Canine Tooth, a grave taboo.
Moreover, he almost lost face in front of so many incense guests and believers. If he messed up the most important annual ritual of the Nine Li Temple, he wouldn’t be able to bear the punishment from the abbot.
"Yes, yes, calm down. I will scold him later and ensure satisfactory compensation for the temple. You still need to oversee the ritual, don’t let this affect it." Wu Sang said in a low voice.
"I’ll settle the score with you later!" Galong, the temple priest, glanced at the many incense guests around him, his expression slightly softened, and he continued his dance.
After quietly apologizing, Wu Sang chased after Yuan Ming.
On the other side, Yuan Ming had returned to his room and locked the door.
He spread out all the incense-making materials he had prepared on the table, picked out a few, and prepared to make incense again. However, this time he had a new ingredient, the incense ash he had just grabbed from the ritual.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Soon, there was an urgent knock on the door.
"Yuan, what’s going on? Why did you disturb Lord Canine Tooth’s ritual?" Along with it was Wu Sang’s angry voice.
"I have a stomachache, don’t bother me. Also, I’ve left my apology at the door, you can give it to Galong." Yuan Ming suppressed his excitement and shouted.
"Is it serious? Do you need help?" Wu Sang asked in surprise.
"Don’t worry, but I need to rest for a while. Don’t disturb me before dusk." Yuan Ming shouted loudly.
After that, he didn’t respond anymore.
Wu Sang tried to push the door but found it locked. He listened at the door for a while but heard nothing. Looking down, he saw a small package under the door.
He bent down to pick up the package, weighed it in his hand, and muttered, "At least he knows some manners," before turning and leaving.
Inside the room, Yuan Ming was immersed in making incense.
Two hours later, seven or eight black incense sticks were dried and neatly arranged on the table.
Yuan Ming couldn’t wait to take out the incense burner, insert a stick of black incense, and light it.
A wisp of blue smoke slowly rose, and a fragrance similar to the original black incense spread out. Yuan Ming immediately felt his vision blur and a sense of drowsiness.
The Great Ultimate pattern on the incense burner also lit up with a faint glow.
"It works, it really works."
The light of the Great Ultimate pattern on the incense burner had also become dim.
"Did I succeed just now? And was it on the body of that initial young emperor?" Yuan Ming stared blankly at the burned-out incense, thinking about his homemade incense. For the first time, he had realized the soul-attaching function of the original black incense and had also comprehended the magical Fireball Technique used by the young emperor. However, the time was extremely short, it seemed that it was only ten to twenty breaths before he returned.
But he finally succeeded!
Yuan Ming was excited, he clenched his fist and swung it hard, opening his mouth to let out a silent roar. At this moment, he felt that this small room, this temple, this Iron Tiger Town, the rivers, the great rivers, the Southern Border, the Great Jin, and even the distant Eastern Sea, everything in the world was no longer a shackle.
The second half of the Nine Elements Formula... or even better techniques, might all become possible!
It took Yuan Ming a long time to calm down from his excitement. The control brought by that inspiration gradually faded, and his mind slowly cooled down. He felt like he had succeeded, but it wasn’t a complete success.
"Although I successfully made an incense that can attach to a body, there seem to be many problems. Not to mention why I couldn’t control the young emperor’s actions, the time of attachment alone is far from the original incense." Yuan Ming thought with a bit of disappointment.
However, Yuan Ming was somewhat pleased. After all, being able to successfully achieve soul transference and finding the key ingredient, ash, was a huge breakthrough. Ninety-nine percent of the success was due to inspiration, and the remaining one percent was effort.
He believed that the one percent could not hinder his path to success.
The materials for the current experiment could not be exactly the same as the original incense. It was impossible to achieve the original attachment time and effect.
As long as he slowly finds the right materials in the future, the effect will definitely get better and better.
Yuan Ming was silently contemplating, looking at the other few sticks of black incense on the table.
The rest of the incense was also made from the same batch of mixed materials. Even if they could all help him achieve attachment, the effect would certainly not be much different.
So he had to continue experimenting. Of course, he also had to continue using mana to help the incense burner recover.
However, the next experiment would have to be at least seven days later.
In the evening, Yuan Ming walked out of the side room and saw Wu Sang walking towards him with an unhappy face.
"Yuan, you must give me an explanation for your rudeness today. Brother Ga Long is still very dissatisfied. He has asked me to expel you from the temple." Wu Sang asked as soon as he saw him.
Of course, a large part of the reason was that after most of the small compensation was given to Brother Ga Long, he was severely scolded by Ga Long and even the abbot. His spirit was severely damaged.
He must get more money!
However, at this point, Yuan Ming didn’t really care.
He had mastered the art of making incense, and now he had found the key to making incense. Whether he stayed here or not didn’t matter anymore.
"Oh, was that apology not enough?" Yuan Ming asked back.
"Brother Ga Long is ruthless. If it weren’t for me mediating, he would have driven you out long ago! You have to show more sincerity today, otherwise I can’t explain it here." Wu Sang shouted angrily.
"Compensation is no problem, but you have to do me a small favor." After thinking for a while, Yuan Ming replied with a smile on his face, showing no signs of discomfort.
