Chapter 142: Chapter 132: This Fragrance has Miraculous Effects

Nightfall, river dam.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on his bed, practicing the “Golden Mysterious Separation God Technique.” Recently, with the aid of Soul Suppressing Fragrance, his Divine Sense had grown significantly, advancing by leaps and bounds each day.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the main door of the outer hall. His Divine Sense reached out and outlined the figure; it was Xue Yuantong knocking at the door.

Jiang Ning remained motionless, gently urged his mana, and unlocked the door.

He cast a spell to transmit his voice to the front door, “Come in.”

Xue Yuantong pushed again, and the door opened effortlessly as she entered the room.

She ran all the way to the door of Jiang Ning’s bedroom.

“Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, let’s go fishing by the river tomorrow,” Xue Yuantong called out.

“It’s been a while since I’ve shown off my superb fishing skills!”

She sat down on the edge of Jiang Ning’s bed, her face puzzled:

“Jiang Ning, why is there smoke in your room?”

“You’re not secretly smoking, are you?” Xue Yuantong sniffed, but the smoke smelled a bit different.

“It’s the incense I lit,” Jiang Ning pointed to the incense burner on the table, as he had been using Soul Suppressing Fragrance for his practice, training his Divine Sense.

Xue Yuantong leaned in to look at the incense burner, and exclaimed:

“Wow, I didn’t realize you had such refined tastes, Jiang Ning. Tsk tsk.”

“And it smells quite nice.” She leaned close to the incense burner and took a big sniff, inhaling all the fragrance that had just diffused and leaving none for Jiang Ning.

She felt her mind become clear: “Wow, this feels so comfortable!”

Jiang Ning was exasperated, Xue Yuantong’s actions were interfering with his Cultivation.

Although the Soul Suppressing Fragrance he had refined indeed had great benefits for ordinary people.

Jiang Ning teased her, “Don’t inhale anymore. This incense has magical effects.”

“What effects?” Xue Yuantong, frequenting the internet, knew some incenses aided sleep, while others calmed the mind, with a variety of purposes.

Jiang Ning said, “This incense has a particularly magical effect, it helps people with dieting. If you inhale too much into your stomach, you won’t feel hungry for three days and nights and won’t be able to eat.”

Xue Yuantong was shocked, immediately stopped breathing, and then held her breath while saying:

“Jiang Ning, you wouldn’t lie to me, would you?”

“Playing jokes, you think I’d be scared?”

As Xue Yuantong spoke, she ran out of breath, causing her voice to change. She hurriedly left the room and only after moving several meters away did she gasp for air.

Then she pretended not to care: “Hmph, your room is too stuffy; the air outside is much fresher.”

She stood outside the door, uncertain: “Jiang Ning, just a little whiff of the fragrance won’t cause me to lose my appetite, right?”

“Not at all.”

“That’s good, that’s good,” Xue Yuantong was relieved.

Deciding not to enter Jiang Ning’s room anymore, she stood outside and spoke with him.

“Jiang Ning, I saw you bought a fishing rod. Dare you have a fishing competition with me tomorrow?”

“We’ll see who catches more fish.”

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, tomorrow was New Year’s Day and Fourth Middle School had a holiday; he was planning to go to the villa at Hu Qi Mountain to refine his Flying Boat.

“I’m afraid I can’t make it in the morning; I have some errands. How about the afternoon?”

Xue Yuantong was also planning to go in the afternoon as she intended to sleep in late.

“Alright, just make sure you don’t run off,” Xue Yuantong knew Jiang Ning was busy; whenever he had a rest day, he would disappear without a trace, leaving her often bored at home.

Before she knew Jiang Ning, she was always cheerful, playing by herself.

Nowadays, she often sought Jiang Ning for company, forming a habit.

Even if she didn’t spend time with Jiang Ning, knowing he was nearby, in the room next door, gave Xue Yuantong an inexplicable sense of security.

Once Jiang Ning was gone, even though she could still play with her phone alone, she felt something was missing, it didn’t feel right.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back by noon. Ask Aunt Gu to make extra food,” Jiang Ning instructed.

“My mom is now the head chef at the company, I’ll have her cook some meat for you tomorrow!” Xue Yuantong promised.

Then she became suspicious again: “Jiang Ning, didn’t you say inhaling this incense would cause a loss of appetite?”

“Why do you still want to eat tomorrow?” She stared at Jiang Ning, her expression slowly enlightening.

“This…” Jiang Ning secretly thought he had given himself away.

Xue Yuantong scrutinized him, her eyes resentful, Jiang Ning had deliberately deceived her!

“The fragrance is complicated, I can’t explain it well to you,” Jiang Ning rounded up:

“Hmm, like, some people will be affected, and some won’t?”

“You understand what I mean, right?”

Xue Yuantong rolled up her sleeves, shouting, “I don’t understand, all I know is you tricked me!”

“You’re so mean, Jiang Ning, wuwu, watch me teach you a lesson!”

She lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.

…

The next morning before leaving, Jiang Ning swept his Divine Sense through the neighboring bedroom; Xue Yuantong was sleeping soundly.

Last night after she threw herself onto her own bed and hit him, which was more like tickling to Jiang Ning, she got exhausted and went back to sleep.

Jiang Ning opened the door, summoned a large cluster of water with his Spiritual Power to clean up.

After tidying up, he pushed his mountain bike out of the house.

The weather was quite nice today. Jiang Ning donned the scarf that Xue Yuantong had given him and rode towards Hu Qi Mountain.

After arriving at the villa, he parked his mountain bike and entered the hall.

Jiang Ning beckoned with his hand, and a spirit wood board fell out of his storage ring, along with a “Wind Removing Crystal,” “Green Luo Zhi,” and some other auxiliary materials.

Jiang Ning cast a spell of Spiritual Fire and refined the Wind Removing Crystal. This material primarily served to reduce the wind resistance of the Spirit Wood Boat, thus enabling it to move faster.

As for the “Green Luo Zhi,” it seemed unrelated to the Spirit Wood Boat, but in fact, the material of the Green Luo Zhi was special. After being processed by Spiritual Fire, its texture became particularly suited for conducting Spiritual Power.

It would allow the Spirit Wood Boat to swiftly change directions while flying at high speeds, greatly enhancing its agility.

Actually, using Green Luo Zhi for the Spirit Boat was somewhat extravagant. Such Spiritual Objects were best used for crafting Puppets, which would have excellent flexibility.

Jiang Ning had already asked Shao Shuangshuang to gather materials for the Puppet. Despite deploying numerous people and spending tens of millions, he still hadn’t managed to collect everything.

Jiang Ning was not in a hurry. First, he would craft the Spirit Wood Boat to solve his travel issues. Later, when he encountered some rare materials, he could fetch them himself.

At that time, any materials he coveted were sure to be uncontested.

As for his next Cultivation goal, Jiang Ning had already set it. Once the medicinal herbs at the villa matured, he would refine them into Elixir Pills and use them to break through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

By then, he would use the “Divine Origin Shuttle” to explore the area above Hu Qi Mountain, which had been stripped of Heaven and Earth Laws, and attempt to obtain Law Fragments to rapidly increase his Cultivation.

With this thought, Jiang Ning cast another Magic Formation and condensed a sphere of water that transformed into a screen, which then covered the “Wind Removing Crystal.”

With a sizzling sound, the scorching Wind Removing Crystal melded with the water to form a semi-transparent liquid.

Jiang Ning lifted his Spiritual Power and directed the liquid to evenly coat the spirit wood board.

A flame followed the surface of the Spirit Wood Boat to assist in their integration.

Without further delay, Jiang Ning flicked his Sword Qi, slicing off about twenty percent of the Green Luo Zhi.

He planned to use the remaining eighty percent to craft three Puppets with the Puppet Materials he would find later.

These three Puppets would be able to accomplish many tasks for him.

Jiang Ning waved his hand, and the Green Luo Zhi soared into the air surrounded by several streaks of green Sword Qi, forming arcs of sword light.

The sword lights moved back and forth, slicing the Green Luo Zhi into finely divided strips.

Following the Array he had mastered, Jiang Ning used the Green Luo Zhi and other materials to inscribe Arrays onto the Spirit Wood Boat.

The preciousness of a Flying Artifact lay in the many Arrays that were engraved on its surface.

Flying Arrays, Defensive Arrays, Concealing Arrays, even Attack Arrays, various kinds.

Materials continuously appeared in the hall with fluctuating firelight, refining the materials and merging them into the Spirit Wood Boat.

Jiang Ning busied himself until eleven in the morning, by which time a three-meter-long, one-meter-wide green wooden boat floated in front of him.

The surface of the wooden boat was enveloped by a halo of green light, resembling a protective shield.

Actually, this was the lowest level of Spirit Light Shield, still reasonably strong, far surpassing bulletproof glass by several times.

The surface of the Spirit Light Shield was very sleek, and even if a bullet hit it, it would automatically deflect, unable to harm it in the slightest.

This way, there was no need to worry about colliding with birds or similar entities while flying in the sky.

Jiang Ning lightly tapped, and the originally conspicuous Spirit Wood Boat instantly vanished. This was the Concealing Array, which could avoid not only visual detection but also evade conventional monitoring like radar.

Jiang Ning studied for a while, then removed the spiritual light shield from the surface of the Spirit Wood Boat.

He reached out a hand toward the Spirit Wood Boat, and the three-meter-long boat instantly shrank, eventually becoming only as big as a palm, the same size as a wooden boat model bought online, incredibly compact.

Jiang Ning played with it a couple of times.

The Spirit Wood Boat is a Magic Artifact; it is not the Lifebound Magical Treasure of a Golden Core Cultivator. Hence, even if it enlarges, it only reaches three meters.

Once reaching the Golden Core Stage, some powerful Magical Treasures can transform into extremely colossal sizes, even a hundred meters in length, and weighing tens of thousands of tons.

With such a size and weight, even flying at the speed of sound could cause tremendous destruction.

Jiang Ning fiddled with the miniature Spirit Wood Boat for a while. He released his Divine Sense to cover the surroundings for more than a hundred meters, walked to the courtyard, and casually stored his mountain bike in the Storage Ring.

The villa he was in was one of the best-located villas in this villa area. His Divine Sense scanned around, and no one was looking in his direction.

Jiang Ning threw out the Spirit Wood Boat, and the more than three-meter-long boat hovered in the air.

He stepped onto the boat effortlessly, as if stepping on flat ground, incredibly steady.

Jiang Ning stood on the boat, inputting Spiritual Power. Mysterious lines lit up around the boat like a complex network of wires connecting to electricity.

The cyan-colored boat, along with Jiang Ning, gradually vanished within the courtyard.

“Rise!”

The Spirit Wood Boat shot straight into the sky, quickly reaching the clouds before weaving through them.

Jiang Ning stood on the boat, the innate spiritual light shield of the Spirit Boat protected him from wind pressure, his hair not moving at all.

Below was the tiny Hu Qi Mountain and Qingyu Lake, as well as the densely packed buildings of Yuzhou City.

He continually supplied Spiritual Power to the boat beneath his feet, experiencing the boat’s speed.

“With the current thickness of my Spiritual Power, if I exert all my strength, the Spirit Boat could reach about one hundred seventy meters per second,” Jiang Ning silently calculated.

One hundred seventy meters per second is about six hundred kilometers per hour, slightly slower than the average commercial airliner but faster than some small passenger planes.

The key was that the Spirit Wood Boat was much more flexible. Jiang Ning pressed down with his foot, and the rapidly moving Spirit Wood Boat instantly halted in mid-air, like a hummingbird hovering.

The strong inertia it created did not affect Jiang Ning. He remained motionless.

“If it were an ordinary person sitting here, probably they wouldn’t be able to stop the boat like this,” Jiang Ning thought to himself. He had undergone Body Refinement, and his body had already surpassed that of humans; plus, the Array built into the Spirit Boat helped cushion it, allowing him to daringly perform such abrupt stops.

“I could optimize the Array on the Spirit Boat. This way, even if it hovers, it won’t hurt bystanders.”

“Xue Yuantong definitely hasn’t flown before, right?”

Jiang Ning quickly realized he was overthinking it; Xue Yuantong probably wouldn’t dare ride this Flying Boat, as it would likely scare him to tears.

Thinking of that scene, Jiang Ning let out a chuckle.

The Spirit Boat changed direction and headed toward the river dam. With such speed, it reached the Huishui River Dam in a matter of seconds.

Jiang Ning found a secluded spot and got off the boat.

His Cultivation level was too low. Divine Sense could only be used for simple attacks, and he couldn’t yet achieve a large-scale blocking of other people’s consciousness, necessitating a lower profile.

Jiang Ning took out the mountain bike from the Storage Ring and rode towards his rental.
