Ning Zhishui looked down at her palms, and flames rose from her fingertips, as if jumping, as she wished.
This was the response of the Ten Thousand Bones Spirit Fire to her.
The reason why spiritual fire has the word "spiritual" in its name is because it has consciousness, which is essentially different from ordinary fire.
However, their consciousness is still in its budding stage and is somewhat vague, with a significant gap from that of children.
But simple communication is possible.
Just like Ning Zhishui asked it, if there was a small fire nearby, could it detect it in time, and it said yes.
This made Ning Zhishui feel much more at ease, and he felt that the possibility of preventing problems before they happen was greater.
As soon as he put out the fire, Ning Zhishui felt something and couldn't help frowning.
Looking up and seeing something coming from afar, Ning Zhishui was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Dongfang Jing came flying with a sword, with a little bird on his shoulder. The bird was chirping at him, holding its neck high, as if... asking for credit?
"Why are you here?" Ning Zhishui asked puzzledly.
"If I'm not mistaken, my purpose for coming here is the same as yours." Dongfang Jing asked with a smile, "Are you here to look for those four people?"
Ning Zhishui looked into his eyes steadily, then hummed, "When did you arrive?"
"It's been two days." Dongfang Jing put away his sword and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, walking forward. "I don't remember the date very clearly, but I remember the place where the fire started was in the oil forest."
Ning Zhishui's expression changed, "It turned out to be oil cypress... no wonder."
No wonder the fire was so big that even the monsters living deep inside were alarmed by the fire.
"Yeah, stupid kid." Dongfang Jing sneered.
It was indeed stupid. If those four people were not as stupid as cows, how could such a disaster have occurred?
Not only did it burn the forest and anger the monsters, but it also caused harm to so many innocent passers-by.
Afterwards, he showed no remorse at all. Instead, he was very proud of having accidentally killed the daughter of the Feng family.
"How come you have time to come here? How are the clan affairs going?" Ning Zhishui asked him.
"The situation there won't be resolved overnight, so we can just take it slow." Dongfang Jing said, "I compiled a list of important events after I woke up, including the beast chaos in Howling Wind Forest. Since I have some free time soon, I'll come over."
Ning Zhishui smiled when he heard that, "What a coincidence, me too."
Dongfang Jing chuckled and looked at her sideways, "Yes, you have always been like this."
"Who?"
"Compassion for the world."
Ning Zhishui was speechless, "That's what gods do, but I'm not one of them."
She just killed someone!
Thinking of Lao Niu, Ning Zhishui's smile faded, "Dongfang Jing, I have something to ask you about immortal objects."
"Immortal item? You mean, something that can protect against immortal energy?"
"Yes." Ning Zhishui nodded. "When I passed by a village, I accidentally discovered that the people of the Jin family used Jin Zhao's statue to impersonate Hong Jin and defraud incense..."
After briefly talking about the events in Chaomen Village, Ning Zhishui told Dongfang Jing the information he had obtained through soul searching.
Ning Zhishui thought about the incense matter. She certainly didn't want to tell anyone, but there was an "information gap" here.
The aristocratic families knew much more than he did, and this knowledge could not be filled in a short period of time. If he hid it, he might miss the opportunity.
If there is a person from a noble family who is trustworthy at this time, he can undoubtedly fill this gap.
Among all the candidates, Dongfang Jing is undoubtedly the most suitable one.
He came from the Eastern tribe, one of the two tribes, and his status was noble, which enabled him to know more secrets.
He has a good heart, strong ability, is an old friend of mine, and is worthy of trust.
However, the prerequisite for cooperation is that the two people must be useful to each other. Ning Zhishui is well aware of this. She knows that her value can also be recognized by the other party.
Dongfang Jing also needs help if he wants to regain the power of the Dongfang clan.
As a heavenly-grade alchemist and weapon master, and as a disciple of the Grand Elder of the Xianlai Sect, I am qualified enough to talk to him.
So after careful consideration, I decided to speak out and have a frank talk with him.
Dongfang Jing listened to her and remained very calm during the process. He was not surprised by what he heard.
He really knew!
Ning Zhishui thought to himself.
"You actually know the secret, this is truly providential." Dongfang Jing sighed softly, "You guessed right. The so-called immortal weapon is made from the power of incense and some precious medicinal herbs and materials."
Dongfang Jing stopped and, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, told the story about the immortal weapon in detail.
To successfully ascend to immortality, in addition to achieving a certain level of cultivation, one also needs the power of faith from the people—
As a powerful being with a cultivation level that looks down upon the entire continent, how can you only enjoy the resources of the continent without giving back to the people?
And if this kind of feedback is given, such as crystals, skills, pills, materials, teaching instructions... then all people will respect and admire it, and will voluntarily provide the power of faith.
The more you give, the greater the power of their faith will be.
This power of faith can be accessed through a specific method. After it is taken out, it can be used to refine an immortal weapon, and then used to ascend the ladder to heaven.
This is the right way.
But this righteous path is too difficult. It's easy to ask those powerful people to show their favor, such as letting them scatter some crystals, disclose one or two pill recipes, or perfunctorily teach a few lessons to guide others...
If this could lead to ascension, they would be more than willing to do it.
However, this perfunctory power of faith is too weak and is not enough to meet the standards of refining immortal artifacts!
"It's easy to get these people to occasionally do good deeds, but it's impossible to ask them to spend half their lives doing good deeds." Dongfang Jing said coldly, "Since that's impossible, we naturally have to find a shortcut."
If you can't get the power of faith given voluntarily, then use benefits to lure people to offer incense.
However, it is not okay to use the real names of these family heads to attract people to worship them, because they have not done anything practical for everyone. On the contrary, reporting their real names will have the opposite effect and trigger some hatred against the rich and lead to resistance.
Therefore, Jin Zhao only dared to use his real body to receive the "incense", but did not dare to use his real name. He only dared to borrow Hong Jin's name. At least Hong Jin was the hope in the hearts of the casual cultivators, and the public had a higher degree of recognition of him.
However, in this case, the effect of the power of incense will be discounted, because only half or even a small half will fall on Jin Zhao, and the other half will be wasted by "Hongjin".
The power of incense is not as strong as the power of faith. The power of faith is the recognition and approval from the heart, while the power of incense is more formal, so even if you have those beads, it is far from enough.
