After this weird encounter with the Absolute Beginning Magic, Wang Wei returned back to the pile of books. However, unlike before, he had no problem reading or memorizing the contents; it seemed that his method worked.
So, he spent the next few weeks going over every detail regarding Buddhism in order to find a way to use Incense to refine his soul.
"Did you find the method?" asked his father.
"No," responded Wang Wei as he shook his head. "All I learned was that some Buddhist monks in that era used something called [Sentient Being Flame] to refine their souls. This flame was created from gathering Incense from all living beings, hence the name."
"So, it was no use?"
"Not necessarily. Although I did not find the method, I did come up with an idea on how to succeed."
