That night,
Yuan Ming returned to his dwelling and immediately took out the piece of Water Crown Tree spirit wood he had acquired that day. He carefully cut approximately one-tenth of it, ground it into a fine powder, mixed it with other incense-making materials, and added the incense ashes from the Zhenling Sect to quickly create a new stick of Black Incense.
Then, he took out the Stealing Heaven Tripod and inserted the finished Black Incense into it. Calming his mind, he attempted to possess Sha Hao.
Soon, Yuan Ming's vision shifted, and he once again found himself inhabiting Sha Hao's body.
However, the scenery around him remained unchanged from his previous possessions; Sha Hao seemed rooted to the spot as usual, still sitting in silence within the stone house, diligently cultivating.
Yuan Ming was quite accustomed to such scenes and did not grow impatient. Instead, as always, he quietly began to sense the flow of spiritual power within Sha Hao's body.
