[The fifth floor of the Buddha Pagoda is still a sealed ring-shaped space. Aside from the four Buddha statues placed in the center, there are also many scriptures, as well as items such as incense burners and burning incense.]

[You carefully observe the statues of the Four Honored Kings and search for useful things on the fifth floor of the Buddha Pagoda…]

If Lin Xun wanted to take Luoyi City’s Incense Power, he had to think of a way to make one of the Four Honored Kings descend to the mortal world alone. Therefore, methods of making trouble such as destroying the Buddha Pagoda or smashing the divine images were not suitable.

He had to use a relatively gentle method to make one of the Four Honored Kings willingly descend to the mortal world, rather than making all four brothers rush down to fight him together.

Achieving this goal was not easy. Lin Xun racked his brains but still could not think of any suitable plan.

[…]

[The White Elephant Demon suddenly speaks up and says, Junior Brother, hurry and look at this passage of scripture!]

[The White Elephant Demon, who is searching together with you, holds a scripture in its hands and calls you over.]

[You quickly throw away the useless incense burner in your hand and step forward to examine the scripture. Most of the scriptures stored on the fifth floor of the Buddha Pagoda are praises of the Four Honored Kings’ mighty ferocity, as well as legendary deeds recording the four brothers slaying yokai and eliminating demons.]

[The scripture held by the White Elephant Demon is the same, but it also records the Four Honored Kings’ stories of attaining the Dao, legends of the Honored Kings manifesting divinity, the offerings they favor, and so on.]

[What the White Elephant Demon wants you to look at is a record of an Honored King descending to the mortal world and manifesting divinity.]

[Legend has it that in ancient times, Luoyi once had a believer of the Honored Kings who was wealthy enough to rival a nation, yet extremely miserly.]

[One day, the believer received guidance from North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King and dreamed of countless suffering common people who were barely clothed and destitute.]

[After the believer woke from the dream, he attained great enlightenment. He dispersed all his family wealth and offered all his property to North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King, drawing the Honored King to descend to the mortal world and manifest divinity.]

[North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King’s secular name is Wealth-Bestowing Heaven. He holds a treasure parasol to shield the world from evil spirits, preventing yokai and evil from causing harm, so as to protect the wealth of His children and believers. He is also a dharma-protector god of wealth.]

[After North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King descended to the mortal world, He only symbolically took one piece of Meteor Star Iron from the offerings piled like mountains of gold and silver, then distributed all the remaining gold, silver, jewels, and treasures to the suffering common people.]

[As for that believer who had dispersed all his family wealth, he was accepted by the Honored King as a disciple under His seat, followed the Honored King in ascending to Western Pure Bliss Heaven, and passed down an eternal tale of praise…]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

If the legend was true, North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King’s descent to the mortal world and manifestation of divinity was simply for that piece of Meteor Star Iron.

Mortals did not know the value of meteoric iron from beyond the heavens, while North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King descended to the mortal world in the name of distributing wealth. Not only did He pocket the Meteor Star Iron, He also made the common people feel grateful and become His loyal believers.

“Judging from the records in the scriptures and classics, when this North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King took the Meteor Star Iron, He descended alone and did not call His brothers.”

“That makes sense too. Even blood brothers settle accounts clearly. For this kind of matter where one fishes for money and benefits, it’s enough to do it secretly by oneself. How could one invite brothers over to share it?”

After learning such key information, countless characters flashed through Lin Xun’s eyes, and he already had a plan in mind.

[You pick up the burning incense nearby and light it. Wisps of smoke rise…]

[You arrive before the Buddha statue of North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King, who holds a treasure parasol.]

Lin Xun opened the Inventory and began his outrageous operation.

He searched through the items in his Inventory and soon selected his targets.

[You take out Black Sea Ice Soul Essence Crystal (Material), Radiant Glazed Gold (Material), and Vajra Void Sandstone (Material), place them before the divine altar of the divine image, hold three sticks of burning incense, and bow in offering to the divine image.]

[Wisps of smoke rise to the dome of the Buddha Pagoda, seeming to drift into the void again…]

[You wait before the Buddha statue for a long time, but no abnormality occurs.]

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t expect His tastes to be so picky. He can even hold back against three materials worth tens of millions of Spirit Essence?”

“I don’t have much else, but I do have plenty of valuable idle items!”

Then he continued placing bait.

[You take out Vajravarahi’s Flesh Lotus (Material), place it before the divine image, and bow in offering to the divine image.]

[Wisps of smoke rise and drift into the void, but no abnormality occurs.]

[You take out Nine Nether Earth-Treasury Precious Lotus Seed x1 (Item), place it before the divine image, and bow in offering to the divine image.]

[Wisps of smoke rise and drift into the void, but no abnormality occurs.]

[You take out Crescent Knife of Exterminating the Six Root Afflictions (immortal grade weapon), place it before the divine image, and bow in offering to the divine image.]

[Wisps of smoke rise and drift into the void, but no abnormality occurs.]

[…]

[Before long, the divine altar is already packed full of offerings. Treasure light flows over them, and noble qi overflows. Every offering is a wondrous object unobtainable in the mortal world, dazzling the eyes…]

[The White Elephant Demon cannot help swallowing its saliva and mutters inwardly, Good heavens! So Junior Brother’s family wealth is this substantial.]

[If Junior Brother goes to Western Pure Bliss Heaven, he might very well be able to snatch away North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King’s title as dharma-protector god of wealth.]

[This is the proper god of wealth…]

[When you place Vajra Bodhi Seed (Special Item) on the divine altar as well, an abnormality finally occurs!]

[The smoke rising from the burning incense suddenly drifts toward the divine image of North Demon Heaven Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King, causing the divine image to suddenly open its eyes and speak. The entire divine image seems to come alive…]

[Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King maintains the posture of holding the parasol, His mouth opening and closing as a surprised yet slightly flustered voice comes out…]

[Stop quickly! Stop quickly!]

[I’m already aware of your sincerity. Do not place any more offerings on the divine altar!]

[Seeing treasure light overflowing and noble qi flowing, the divine image of Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King laboriously opens the stone treasure parasol in His arms. His movements are both slow and stiff.]

[Once the treasure parasol opens, it immediately covers most of the jewel-like radiance and precious aura. The three Honored King divine images nearby had originally been illuminated golden by the treasure light, but now that the treasure parasol conceals it, the three divine images return to the dimness of stone.]

[Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King slightly lets out a breath of relief and continues, Stay here and go nowhere!]

[After He finds a free moment, He will descend…]

[Halfway through His words, it seems the power of the incense malice rising from the burning incense is insufficient to continue maintaining it. The divine image’s words stop abruptly, and it turns back into a cold stone carving.]

[You know that just now, it was not Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King truly manifesting divinity and descending to the mortal world, but rather Him temporarily connecting with the divine image through the power of incense malice.]

[Seeing Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King’s slightly flustered appearance just now, you immediately understand in your heart.]

[You estimate that He had long since sensed the treasures you offered, but Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King is most likely currently together with His three blood brothers, and for the moment He has no good chance to get away.]
