Chapter 349: What a Waste!
At this moment, Nolan Jing's perception of Yun Ran had become somewhat complicated. The Yun Ran before him seemed different from the one he had heard about earlier.
Of course, he knew the value of his own Seven-Star Lamp, and it was possible that some people might indeed covet it.
But his words were much more tactful than what Yun Ran had said earlier: "It would be best for everyone to remain cautious."
Although he accepted Yun Ran's proposal, he would not show any mercy towards her.
After Nolan Jing had set up the Seven-Star Divination Lamp, he sat down in the center of it.
The moment Nolan Jing sat down, all seven lamps lit up, and in the daylight, the light from the Seven-Star Lamp seemed so faint.
But no one present underestimated the faint light of the lamps.
Nolan Jing, sitting in the middle of the Seven-Star Lamp, experienced a sudden transformation in his aura under the illumination of the light.
Suddenly, a breeze blew past, but the light from the Seven-Star Lamp did not flicker; on the contrary, it became brighter.
Yun Ran watched with interest. This breeze was no ordinary wind but was drawn by the Seven-Star Lamp.
It was clear that Nolan Jing was now divining.
Finally, Yun Ran withdrew her gaze and took out a palm-sized incense burner from her bag.
"What is that? It looks pretty ordinary."
"It must be some kind of Magic Artifact, but it's too far away to see what material it's made of. It's so small, I wonder what Yun Ran is planning to do with it."
"Don't you think that incense burner is a bit glaring? That is probably not something simple!"
...
Many people were guessing what the incense burner was made of.
At this moment, Dragon Spirit, sitting in the corner, almost lost her composure and revealed her dragon tail.
She was instantly filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Where on earth did this lunatic get such a treasure? She even has a Shariputra of a Merit-accrued saint and used it to make an incense burner. What a wasteful desecration!"
If that Shariputra had been hers, she wouldn't have to stoop so low now, let alone resort to Body Seizing.
Xuan Chu, who was sitting not far away, was also frowning deeply, obviously recognizing what the incense burner was made of, just like Dragon Spirit.
Xuan Chu was also somewhat perplexed at this point. According to the records in Heavenly Dao Village's Book Collection Tower, those identified as disasters to the world are mostly shunned by heaven and earth.
But there were too many contradictions in Yun Ran. Even if she came from the Otherworld, she was still a Heavenly Abandoned.
Yet, Yun Ran was not only capable of summoning the utmost firm and positive Heavenly Thunder but even the sacred Shariputra had no effect on her.
This made Xuan Chu unable to help but wonder: "Could I have misread the previous Heavenly Dao Phenomenon? Then what's the matter with the Heavenly Dao Restriction on me?"
Yun Ran, who was in the middle of the competition, had no inclination to care about what others thought. After taking out the incense burner, she also took out some materials that seemed messy.
It looked like she was going to craft something on the spot using these materials.
"What's Yun Ran doing? Is she cramming at the last minute?"
"Laughable, I thought Nolan had brought out the Seven-Star Lamp, and we were up against some strong opponent, and it turns out to be this?"
"Gu Chu, I heard you have a good relationship with Yun Ran. You should talk to her afterwards, telling her that young people should be down-to-earth, look at her now, isn't it just like a smooth-talker who can't handle affairs?"
Gu Yuan was completely in shock, and then suddenly heard someone speaking in a sardonic tone by his ear.
Can he hold back?
Instantly, his gaze turned coldly towards the person who just spoke: "If you can't talk properly, then sew your mouth shut, you're everywhere, why don't you ascend to heaven!"
The person being scolded: ...
Damn, so frustrating, no wonder everyone says that Gu Yuan is the oddity of the Gu Family, pah!
Yun Ran, who was mocked by many, is now heedless of everything around him, solely focused on tinkering with the materials in his hands.
Just as Yun Ran took out a bunch of dark, dry grass, it was no longer just a breeze, but winds from all directions started to approach.
Those who thought they were watching a joke could no longer laugh at this moment.
This wind is not any natural wind, this is an island; if it were natural, it would surely carry a hint of briny scent.
But at this moment, the breeze they felt not only lacked any fishy smell but was also incredibly gentle.
An ordinary person might not be able to distinguish whether this wind was aimed at Yun Ran or Nolan Jing, but there are no ordinary people here, naturally, they could tell.
These sudden winds were clearly directed at Yun Ran.
Mo Zhi, who was inside the Jade Token, was also getting a bit anxious to rush out, as the things in Yun Ran's hands were just too enticing.
Waiting for Yun Ran to blend the materials according to the corresponding proportions and finally roll them into a few ordinary-looking sticks of incense, the winds became completely uncontrollable.
Yun Ran raised his hand, and a piece of talisman paper flew out, immediately bursting into flames.
He chided softly: "This is not for you, after enjoying this talisman incense, get lost to wherever it's cool!"
After the talisman paper burned, a faint scent wafted through the air, and the gentle breezes quickly dispersed.
They say the layman watches the fun, the expert watches the technique.
Yun Ran's move just now directly subdued many who were adept at banishing demons and capturing ghosts.
"Is... is this Divine Ghost Incense?"
These people's ancestors had also passed down some secret techniques; burning Divine Ghost Incense is much like the human convention of inviting someone to a meal before asking for their help.
Even when faced with a particularly powerful Evil Ghost, burning Divine Ghost Incense could make it show mercy.
"No, isn't Divine Ghost Incense very rare? Why did Yun Ran make it so effortlessly? This is illogical!!!"
These people recognized Divine Ghost Incense partly because records in their family's Book Collection Tower mentioned it, and some families with deep heritage also had some remaining incense.
However, those remnants had become heirlooms that absolutely could not be casually used.
Right now, watching Yun Ran make Divine Ghost Incense so skillfully, they seemed somewhat useless by comparison.
Yun Ran looked at the finished Divine Ghost Incense and secured it with special talisman paper, then snapped his fingers lightly.
The Divine Ghost Incense was ignited, and the blue smoke wafted away.
He then inserted the incense into an incense burner and onto a steamed bun that Yun Ran had temporarily used as a base.
Only then did Yun Ran sit cross-legged, hands forming a Sealing, and began to chant quietly.
Watching the Divine Ghost Incense in the burner burn at an astonishing rate, soon reaching the bottom.
Yun Ran shouted loudly: "I respectfully invite the venerable Zi Fang, the venerable Yichen, to descend!"
