As the night deepened, Eric emerged from the pine forest, his arms laden with aromatic wood. He carefully lit the wood, placing it at a strategic distance from the camp, ensuring the wind carried the fragrance towards the cultivating disciples.
The elders are taking rest inside their camps. Only the furnace is glowing with hot fire, other than that, it is all pitch dark. The glowing threads of yantra were flickering as the grade 3 spirit stone lost their vigour.
With everyone around him deep in cultivation or rest, Eric moved stealthily towards the yantra. The threads, once bright, now flickered weakly.
With a deft flick of his fingers, Eric silently replaced these stones with more potent grade 6 spirit stones, enhancing the yantra's effectiveness without disturbing its intricate structure. He also added a few extra threads to the yantra, quietly upgrading it to surpass even the advanced yantra of the Rose Petal sect.
