The next day, in front of the Ningxiang Courtyard of the Taoist Temple.
Chu Chen was surprised to find that Wang Ping was also here.
"Brother Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Ping chuckled, took out an incense card from his sleeve, and shook it.
"I have it too."
"Bought with money?"
Wang Ping shook his head: "No, no, no, how could it be bought with money?"
Chu Chen was puzzled: "Where did that come from?"
"This starts with my father, the county governor..."
Wang Ping Balabala started talking.
The matter was very simple. Wang Ping complained to his family after he returned. It happened to be a coincidence. Wang Ping's father was the governor of another county and had a wide network of contacts. He got in touch with Ningxiang and everyone overnight.
Seeing that Wang Ping barely passed the exam and that he was a good friend, everyone in Ningxiang accepted the offer.
After Wang Ping finished speaking, he took out three packs of Yihun Xinxiang from his sleeves, handed them directly to the little ghost lying on Chu Chen's shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Little devil, I misunderstood you. My luck was really good yesterday and I happened to pass the test. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can also calculate this. You are really good at foretelling bad luck."
Chu Chen: "..."
What does this have to do with the little devil's omen of bad luck?
It's entirely due to your father, the county governor!
On the other side, the little ghost boy who was sleepy in the morning widened his eyes and became instantly energetic.
Three packets of incense, how many incense sticks are there!
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang~ Senior Brother Wang, you are such a good person!"
The little ghost kid "snatched" the Yihun Xinxiang and held the Xinxiang in his hands. When he turned into a "little dot", his whole face was "swamped" by the three packets of incense, and his face was full of happiness.
"Senior brother, you see, I am also very good at auspicious omens."
The little kid looked at Chu Chen proudly.
With three packets of incense in hand, he felt that he was ready again.
Chu Chen smiled and did not hit the little guy.
...
In the next few days, Chu Chen had another lesson in the Taoist temple - learning the art of making incense.
Becoming a disciple of Master Ningxiang is not a serious introduction, it is more like learning a "craft" and not joining other people's sect.
There is no pie in the sky. Learning a craft naturally requires tuition and a very generous training package.
Shu Xiu doesn't want bacon or longan, so I'll give them all in cash - five thousand jade coins.
This is similar to a training class where everyone in Ningxiang promotes the way of incense and makes money at the same time.
Although Ningxiang and everyone are here to make money, there are requirements for accepting disciples, and they can teach true skills and have a good reputation in the Taoist temple.
After Chu Chen passed the assessment of everyone in Ningxiang, both Chen's father, Chen's mother, and his master and uncle were very happy.
Learning the art of making incense is quite expensive.
In addition to the gift of five thousand jade coins, the subsequent practice of making incense will cost even more money.
That night, Chen's father and Chen's mother gave Chu Chen five thousand jade coins.
Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, was a man of high rank, a seventh-level Taoist, and he did not go out to serve as an official. It was not easy for him to give him five thousand jade coins.
It is not surprising for parents to support their son’s education.
To Chu Chen's surprise, his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, also gave him five thousand jade coins.
Even the master, Taoist Boyunlei, gave him two thousand jade coins.
Chu Chen was inexplicably moved when he received 12,000 jade coins.
A person lives a lifetime, the world is full of people, and what makes people fall in love with and obsessed with is nothing more than these little bits of warmth.
Three days to get started.
Chu Chen learned the "Wonderful Method of Condensing Fragrance".
"Secrets of Ningxiang" is a technique for making incense created by Ningxiang masters. It is divided into two volumes.
The first volume is "The Wonderful Method of Incense"
The second volume is "Secret Tips for Making Incense".
After studying the second volume of "The Art of Making Incense", you can master the art of "combining incense", which is a serious art of making incense.
As long as you have Xinxianglingxiang recipe, you can try to make incense.
After studying the previous volume "The Wonderful Method of Incense", you will be able to master the "sincerity and tranquility" of the incense, and the ultimate principle of the incense.
To put it bluntly, the first volume of "The Wonderful Method of Ningxiang" trains incense masters, and the second volume trains incense craftsmen.
Disciples from the outer sect who pay high amounts of money to practice rituals can generally only learn the second volume of "Secrets of Making Incense".
Chu Chen learned the art of making incense just to refine [Tongtian Ruyi Xinxiang] for himself, and did not plan to further his studies in the incense path.
"Secrets of Making Incense" was enough for him.
After learning the secret of "combined incense", Chu Chen gained the ability to refine spiritual incense.
As for the level of ability, it depends on daily practice.
A superb craft is inseparable from hard practice day and night.
In the next half month, Chu Chen spent the rest of his time practicing the art of making incense, in addition to practicing his morning and evening exercises every day, and refining his weapons.
After practicing like crazy, his incense making skills have improved significantly.
He quickly mastered several common spiritual incense incense, such as Yihun Xinxiang.
The progress is gratifying, but Chu Chen is not happy at all.
The 12,000 jade coins given by my parents, master, and uncle were all spent in just half a month, with only more than one thousand jade coins left.
Next, he had to rely on his own savings to practice the art of making incense.
The only one who is happy is probably the little devil.
In the past half month, the little ghost boy has been full of enthusiasm and happiness every day he saw everyone he saw.
According to the little ghost's words, it has reached the Paradise of Paradise, and its ghost life is complete.
Yunshuiju.
Master Chu Chen and Xu Ping were dining at the table.
For those who are practicing spiritual medicine, their need for food is no longer a necessity, but more of a desire for food.
In addition, grains and grains contain a small amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Eating them occasionally is of great benefit to practitioners.
"Little devil, if you don't practice hard every day and smoke incense every day, your senior brother's cultivation will soon catch up with you."
Taoist priest Xu Ping was quite unhappy when he saw that the little kid had no intention of inhaling the aroma of coriander and coriander, and he scolded him.
The little devil was hiding in the corner, quite humble, and did not dare to refute even a word.
Chu Chen smiled. During this period, in addition to practicing hard on the art of making incense, he had not fallen behind in his daily practice. The fifth "Yuanjun of the five internal organs" was about to be enlightened into a Yuanling.
Once he is refined, he will be at the ninth level, and his promotion is just around the corner, and he will soon be able to catch up with the little devil of the eighth level.
Speaking of which, the little devil's Taoist cultivation is not low. It has been many years since he entered the eighth level, but he has not been able to advance to the seventh level. In addition, except for the ability to predict "bad luck", his other magical powers are very average.
After Taoist Xu Ping finished talking about the little devil, he asked about Chu Chen again:
"Apprentice, how are you learning the art of making incense?"
Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's not bad. I have mastered some common spiritual incense such as the Soul-Benefiting Xinxiang and the True Spirit Revealing Incense."
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded: "That's right! The Lingxin incense recipe is quite precious. You don't have to search for it specially. You can collect it slowly in the future. Master the basic skills first, and then gradually improve your incense making skills in the future."
Chu Chen nodded, looked at his master, and asked:
"Master, something happened. I'm always absent-minded when I see you today..."
In fact, as soon as Master Xu Ping came home, Chu Chen found that Master was a little different from usual today. He was always a little absent-minded and wandering.
