My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 136 - 135: Incense Master

Seeing this scene, Lv Bai silently painted himself with a layer of black.

The figure standing alone on the stone-paved road in the middle of the night, after understanding the general situation of this world, Lv Bai could somewhat guess it.

He just wasn’t sure if it was a Household Immortal or a Wild Immortal.

He hadn’t noticed when that thing arrived in the village, but from the current situation, the other party didn’t seem to intend to leave easily.

The shiny figure stood there, constantly glancing left and right, its movements far more exaggerated than an ordinary person, more akin to a drama actor in a theater.

The other party observed for a while, then stepped toward the entrance of the village.

Due to the wall’s obstruction, Lv Bai couldn’t continuously observe the other’s movements.

The figure quickly disappeared from his sight.

However, Lv Bai did not let down his guard and quietly left the room.

Boom boom boom~

Sure enough, he heard a strangely rhythmic knocking on the door before he even got to it.

Well, Xiaoli’s house is right at the village entrance.

Lv Bai paused in his steps.

He wasn’t scared; he was purely calculating whether it was necessary to make a move.

The knocking stopped soon, but the other party clearly hadn’t left.

Through the gap under the door, he could clearly notice two shadows, which were the other party’s legs.

Seeing this, Lv Bai made a decision.

He walked over, unlatched the door, and opened it.

Standing at the door was a naked man, his entire body as pale as if covered in rouge powder.

The other stared intently at Lv Bai, silently smirking eerily.

"Hehe, young man..."

In a trance, this nude male figure suddenly transformed into a charming and alluring woman, her red lips slightly parted, letting out enticing soft calls.

These calls tickled the heart, making one unable to resist the urge to approach her.

Lv Bai blinked and stepped closer to her.

Of course, he wasn’t mesmerized but was preparing to punch her first once he got close.

The strange power in her calls could continue to be intermittently interrupted by Lv Bai’s constant use of [Flash Time], unable to affect his mind.

"You damn creature! Die for me!"

Suddenly, a voice from outside the village entrance shouted vigorously.

Lv Bai instinctively turned his head to look.

In the night, he could see a group of four people.

Leading them was a middle-aged man resembling a farmer, running towards him with three youths.

Lv Bai’s sudden reaction made the Immortal realize he was never enchanted at all.

Pausing for a moment, it then chuckled.

The naked male villager’s face appeared with fox-like facial hair.

"Interesting young man, I’ll treat you to some fox spirit wine when there’s a chance~"

The seductive voice had hardly fallen when the male villager collapsed heavily onto the ground, closing his eyes, unconscious.

The group of four reached Xiaoli’s house, and one of the youths tried to help the male villager up, only to be stopped by the farmer.

The young boy’s face tightened immediately, lowering his voice: "Uncle, is the yellow one still here?"

As Lv Bai got closer, he noticed this farmer wasn’t robust, his large frame seemed more like a result of big bones.

The uncle shook his head, took the bundle carried by another youth, squatted down to fiddle with it, and pulled out an incense stick.

He shook it a few times to ignite it, pinching it between his hands, mumbling chants under his breath.

There wasn’t much wind now, but the smoke from the incense wasn’t a straight line, splitting into several strands, looking very chaotic.

Such chaotic incense smoke implied that the Immortal was still wandering around wildly.

"Such boldness."

The uncle frowned deeply as he saw this.

Among the three youths the farmer brought, two at least had the mind to help, whether they could or not.

But the last, slightly chubby youth did nothing, walking up to Lv Bai and glaring at him.

"Kid, why didn’t you call for help?"

"I don’t know you, don’t know what to call you." Lv Bai smiled gently.

"Call him Uncle, all the surrounding villages are overseen by our Uncle. Villagers look to our Uncle for guidance in times it." called around, answering questions, treating illnesses, dispelling unclean spirits, and giving prophecies of good or ill fortune.

The uncle, originally busy, briefly shifted his attention to Lv Bai upon hearing this, then couldn’t tear it away.

It’s worth mentioning that the materials of Lv Bai’s clothes were glaringly different from those of the soil-faced villagers, clearly not a local.

Moreover, his transcendent demeanor and calm composure... everything about him made the uncle reluctant to underestimate him.

He immediately handed the incense back to the most obedient apprentice.

Standing up, he kicked his chubby apprentice, and then cautiously cupped his hands toward Lv Bai: "I am Tao Gui, Incense Master under Master Bai the Fourteenth, in charge of affairs here. May I ask your esteemed surname, sir?"

Lv Bai looked at the uncle, seemingly thoughtful.

He had heard Xiaoli talk about this.

Incense Master, meaning the top incense burner for a certain Immortal.

The chubby apprentice said that this uncle oversaw the neighboring villages, meaning he was likely an Altar Immortal, a rank higher than a Household Immortal.

In simple terms, for cultivation and structure, Altar Immortals required descent altars, and their chosen top incense burners had to serve as Incense Master for them.

"My name is Lv."

Lv Bai had many questions he needed answers to, so there was no need for pretense.

"Lv..."

The uncle mused, recalling if there were any notable people named Lv in the county seat.

Lv Bai interrupted the uncle’s train of thought: "The one possessing this villager is a Fox Immortal, the recent missing villagers should be related to it as well."

Hearing this, the uncle’s face turned grim: "Young Master Lv, that is not a joke to make lightly."

Xiaoli wasn’t very clear on this, either.

In fact, under the system of the Four Great Sects, the Hu Sect holds a higher status than the other three.

Even in the Household Immortal level, the Hu Sect tends to reside in the Empty Sect rather than the God of Wealth Tower because of their high status.

As the most beneficiary group in the current order, if even they go chaotic, the situation would be far more dire than imagined.

Lv Bai glanced at the incense in the uncle’s hand: "Isn’t this Immortal still in the village? You find it and you’ll know."

The uncle bowed again to Lv Bai, taking the half-burnt incense back from the apprentice.

"Young Master Lv is right, almost forgot the main task at hand."

...

It was late at night, but the villagers weren’t actually deep sleepers, waking up with the slightest disturbance.

Many of the men came out with hoes and rakes.

After all, several villagers had gone missing recently, and the uncle was actually invited by the village elder.

The village elder, leaning on a cane, came out of his house, shaking slightly upon seeing Lv Bai standing next to the Incense Master.

But he dared not speak ill of Lv Bai, so he shakily approached the uncle.

"Steward sir, have you found the troublesome spirit yet?"
