When Zhou Wen saw that Li Xuan had lost so much blood, he immediately hesitated. This step was enough for him to play many games.
However, the yard was relatively small, so he couldn't take too many steps. At most, it was about ten steps. For the White Immortal Companion Egg, Zhou Wen decided to give it a try.
Gu Dian, Feng Qiuyan, and Ah Lai followed Li Xuan in. Everyone's expression changed when they walked in. It could be imagined what it felt like to have the soles of a person's feet stabbed by many needles. Feng Qiuyan and company were considered rather tolerant people, but they couldn't help but have their expressions change.
Gu Dian was slightly at a disadvantage. His feet were too big, and the bloody footprints he left behind were much bigger.
Zhou Wen followed the other four and stepped in. He was already prepared to endure the pain of the needles, but when he stepped on the ground, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, a warm current rose from the soles of his feet and entered his body. It was Primordial Energy that surged into his body.
"Harken!" Zhou Wen felt the power coming from the earring. It was the same feeling he had when resisting the lightning in Dragon Gate Grotto. He was pleasantly surprised.
He tried taking a few more steps and indeed, he didn't have his soles pierced like Li Xuan and company. He didn't feel any pain either. Instead, quite a bit of Primordial Energy fused into his body from the soles of his feet.
Truth Listener's Evil Nullification Life Soul is really strange. Under what circumstances will it be useful? Previously, it was lightning, and now, it's the power of the White Immortal Temple. The two don't seem to match at all. What do they have in common?
The yard was small to begin with, so Li Xuan and company only took about ten steps to arrive in front of the incense cauldron.
However, these dozen or so steps were not easy to walk. Every step left a bloody footprint. The deeper they walked, the more bloody footprints there were. The pain of thousands of needles piercing through the soles of the feet could be endured once or twice, but walking more than a dozen steps like this was not something an ordinary person could bear.
Li Xuan was the first to walk to the incense burner. Then, he respectfully lit three incense sticks and bowed three times before inserting them into the incense burner.
After doing all of this, Li Xuan looked into the house in anticipation.
Zhou Wen looked into the house from the side and saw that there was no statue inside. On an offering table, there was only a wooden plaque. On the wooden plaque were the words "Granny Bai."
Ka-cha!
The three incense sticks that Li Xuan had inserted into the incense burner suddenly tilted and snapped in the middle.
"This trip was for nothing. Come and give it a try." Li Xuan gloomily retreated to the side.
Being able to walk in to offer incense was one thing, but obtaining the White Immortal Companion Egg was another. The three incense sticks had been severed, indicating that Granny Bai hadn't accepted Li Xuan's incense offerings. Naturally, she wouldn't give him the White Immortal Companion Egg.
Ah Lai walked forward and bowed three times like Li Xuan before inserting the incense stick.
The five of them focused their gazes on the three incense sticks, waiting to see if they would snap like Li Xuan's.
The three incense sticks did not break, but they burned very quickly. The incense sticks that should have taken dozens of minutes to burn were burned to the bottom in just a few minutes.
Moreover, the smoke emitted by the three joss sticks did not dissipate. Instead, it condensed into a ball above the joss sticks. After the three joss sticks were completely burned, the smoke turned into a white egg and fell into the ashes of the incense burner.
"Ah Lai, your luck has come. Quickly take the Companion Egg," Li Xuan said.
Ah Lai picked up the Companion Egg from the ashes. It was the size of a fist and crystalline jade-white. It looked like porcelain.
Following that, Feng Qiuyan went to offer incense as well. Just like Li Xuan, the incense stick snapped the moment it was inserted. Clearly, he had failed to obtain Granny Bai's favor.
Gu Dian walked over to offer the incense, but the fellow didn't bow. He just lit it and casually inserted it into the incense burner. It left Li Xuan and company shaking their heads. They felt that it would be strange if they could obtain a Companion Egg like this.
However, what left them dumbfounded was that the three crooked incense sticks that Gu Dian had inserted into the incense burner didn't snap. They burned as quickly as before and soon, the smoke turned into a Companion Egg.
If I had known, I wouldn't have bowed. Li Xuan was even more depressed.
"Old Zhou, it's your turn," Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen, who was at the back. However, he immediately felt that something was amiss.
There were two rows of bloody footprints behind the three of them, but the spot where Zhou Wen was standing was clean. Li Xuan took a careful look and realized that from the door to the incense burner, there were only six rows of bloody footprints. Indeed, Zhou Wen's wasn't there.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to offer the incense, he heard Li Xuan say, "Old Zhou, that's not right."
"Coach, you haven't offered the incense. What's wrong?" Feng Qiuyan asked.
Li Xuan pointed at the bloody footprints on the ground and said, "I'm not talking about offering incense. I'm talking about these bloody footprints. We have all left bloody footprints, but why doesn't Zhou Wen have any?"
Feng Qiuyan and company hadn't noticed Zhou Wen, who was walking at the back. Now that Li Xuan said that, they turned their heads to look at the ground. Indeed, they didn't find Zhou Wen's bloody footprints.
Zhou Wen said, "I happen to have a Companion Beast that can restrain the powers here, so I didn't suffer the pain of being pricked."
"That works too? Where did you get your Companion Beast? I'll get one too. " Li Xuan widened his eyes. He had never heard of anyone's Companion Beast being immune to the power of the White Immortal Temple's needles.
"Small Buddha Temple. You can give it a try if you want," Zhou Wen said.
Li Xuan's eyes widened. "You actually went to Small Buddha Temple. I heard that many people died there. They died for no reason when they walked in. You actually didn't die. Where did you get a Companion Egg?"
"I previously read a strategy guide online. It said that as long as one cultivates the Heart Meditation Primordial Energy Skill, they can safely reach Small Buddha Temple. However, to enter the main hall, one has to first learn the Primordial Energy Art on a stone monument in the temple. Otherwise, entering will only result in death. I gave it a try. The strategy guide is right. " Zhou Wen made things clear. If Li Xuan and company had a chance to enter, it would naturally be best if they could obtain the Companion Egg inside. After all, Zhou Wen couldn't obtain it himself.
Be it in-game or in real life, he had been there. After obtaining Truth Listener, the three-faced Buddha didn't react to him at all.
"How dare you believe a strategy guide on the Internet? Count yourself lucky that you didn't die. I think I'll forget about it." Li Xuan shook his head. If he were to cultivate in other Primordial Energy Arts, it was unknown if he could master them. If it conflicted with the Invincible Connate Divine Art, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Coach, do you cultivate in many Primordial Energy Arts?" Feng Qiuyan asked in surprise.
"Just a little. The main thing is to cultivate my Primordial Energy Art," Zhou Wen said.
Feng Qiuyan praised, "I heard that the Primordial Energy Arts in dimensional zones require a special physique to master. Coach, although you haven't practiced in depth, you were actually able to gain a basic mastery of both. Your talent is truly astonishing."
"Ignoring everything else, in terms of talent, there shouldn't be anyone better than Old Zhou. He can be so strong just by gaming all day. If he cultivates properly, I'm afraid no one will survive," Li Xuan said.
