Refining the Mountains and Rivers-Chapter 1800 – A – Incense Spirit
Thousand Island Lake.
Long Island.
On the big boat, Min Changjing sat at the side, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
Above him, the sun shone brightly. He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, before releasing a comfortable sigh.
Living such a peaceful life is quite nice!
The old chef was currently cooking a fish, and its aroma drifted over to where Min Changjing was. Beside the old chef, there was a girl with long braids who was making pastries.
These pastries were not your usual pastries. After being soaked in fish soup, they would release a mouth-watering smell.
“Lord Min, your meal is ready. Wash your hands first.”
Min Changjing laughed, “Alright, let’s eat.”
Just when he got up, he could not help but frown.
The old chef, who was smiling and scooping some fish soup into a bowl, also suddenly raised his head and a brilliance exploded in his eyes.
On the surface of the huge lake, the space suddenly twisted. Qin Yu walked out and cupped his hands, “Lord Min, long time no see.”
“Qin Yu!” Min Changjing exclaimed in a low voice and hurriedly looked left and right.
Qin Yu said, “It’s just me today. Please rest assured.”
Min Changjing breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still quite unpleasant. “Why did Sect Master Qin come here all of a sudden?”
In the Desolate Area, everyone knew that Qin Yu only brought great trouble with him. What good would come from mixing together with him? Hmph, Emperor Qin was not someone who anyone wanted as an enemy!
As for betraying Qin Yu…forget it, Lord Min did not have a death wish.
That lady was not to be provoked as well.
Qin Yu laughed, “That fish soup smells amazing, looks like I came at the right time. Lord Min, aren’t you going to prepare a bowl for me as well?”
Min Changjing frowned, “Sect Master Qin, just get to the point. Are you sure you are in the mood to sit down and have a meal with me?”
Qin Yu nodded, “Of course. No matter what happens, one still has to eat.”
The old chef quickly said, “Lord Min, I’ve made plenty of fish soup. I’ll get the brat to make more pastries. There is enough for everyone.”
Min Changjing scoffed, “Fine, Sect Master Qin, have a seat!”
Both of them sat at the table, and the fish soup and pastries were gently set down in front of them.
Qin Yu directly began to start eating. The food was truly delicious and he gobbled down two pastries in no time. With a huge smile on his face, he commented, “Your cooking skills are wonderful.”
The old chef nodded, bowed, and pulled the girl beside him, “Thank you Sect Master Qin for your compliment.”
Qin Yu laughed, “Lord Min, I came here uninformed because I wish to get your help for something.”
Min Changjing said, “I’m just a recluse with no fixed abode and have long since separated myself from worldly affairs. If there is something that Sect Master Qin is unable to solve, I would be even less qualified to be able to solve it.”

Qin Yu looked at him. “Lord Min, are you not giving me a chance to speak at all?”
Min Changjing’s face stiffened a little and he forced a smile, “Sect Master Qin, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to inform you in advance, lest you get your hopes up and become even more disappointed in the end.”
Qin Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks. “No way. Before I came here, I already made sure that Lord Min would be able to help me.” He continued in a soft voice, “I’d like to ask Lord Min how one can cultivate Incense Great Dao after building a Divine Nation.”
Min Changjing looked completely blank. “What?”
Qin Yu repeated his question.
Min Changjing nodded repeatedly, “I know what a Divine Nation is, but I’ve never heard of Incense Great Dao. Sect Master Qin, you’ve come to the wrong person.”
Qin Yu stared at him without saying a word.
Min Changjing swore, “I promise that I am not lying to you at all!”
Qin Yu said, “Lord Min stays at Thousand Island Lake, but I’m sure you are familiar with the situation in the Central Desolate.”
Min Changjing did not understand what Qin Yu was trying to say. “Yeah, I do know a bit about it…”
Qin Yu said, “Then Lord Min, you should know that I’m in a predicament where Emperor Qin is after me. He is even offering a reward to anyone who reports to him about my whereabouts. If I do not cultivate Incense Great Dao, I have no chance of winning against Emperor Qin. Even if everything’s fine now, it is only a matter of time until something happens to me.”
Why are you stating the obvious? With Emperor Qin as an enemy, of course something is going to happen to you!
Min Changjing said, “Cough! Sect Master Qin, you are powerful and have many methods up your sleeve, as shown in the battle of Xianyang…”
Before he could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by Qin Yu.
“Lord Min, you only have one son, right?”
Min Changjing’s face darkened and he gritted his teeth. Again?
Back then, this was how Rourou threatened him. Did Qin Yu learn how to threaten him after staying by her side for so long?
His eyes turned cold, “Sect Master Qin, what are you trying to say?”
“Nothing much. I am just trying to remind Lord Min that when one’s life is in danger, one might be forced to do things against their will in order to live. I would like to apologize in advance if my methods are too heavy-handed and I end up killing Young Master Ling.”
Qin Yu spoke the most threatening words with a calm tone.
His words were rather straightforward. If you don’t help me, I will kill your son!
Min Changjing trembled with anger and scoffed, “Sect Master Qin, you really have big guts. Do you truly think that you can do whatever you want in this world?”
He leaned forward and his eyes became even colder, “Just like you said, don’t forget that Emperor Qin is now the ruler of the world and he is going after you with everything he has. I dare not say that I would be able to suppress you, but it would not be difficult for me to hold you in place for a while.”
Qin Yu picked up his teacup and slowly drank a sip of tea. “Lord Min, you can try, but if I do not die today, I promise that I will end the Min Family’s lineage.”
On the boat, the air froze.
Bang –
Min Changjing slammed the table heavily. “Despicable! You’re too despicable!” He gritted his teeth and yelled, “Leave now, all of you, I’m going to teach Sect Master Qin a lesson!”
The old chef quickly pulled his daughter away, and with a punch, water vapor rose into the skies and turned into clouds, bringing everyone on the boat away.
In the blink of an eye, only two people were left.
Min Changjing gave Qin Yu a death stare.
Qin Yu still looked calm.
“You bastard, this is the last time you will use my son to threaten me, or else I will fight you to the end!” He admitted defeat, albeit using his most fierce and vicious tone.
He had only one son, so he did not dare to take this gamble.
And clearly, Qin Yu was not an easy person to kill.
Qin Yu smiled, “Much thanks, Lord Min.”
Min Changjing scoffed. Then, he raised his hand and pressed down. In a hundred-mile radius, everything froze.
Every law of nature fell to a standstill, and not a single fluctuation could be felt.
Qin Yu’s eyes brightened slightly. Just this move alone gave him a better idea of how powerful Min Changjing was. Even though Min Changjing was a True King, his True King realm was definitely extraordinary.
“Enough with the nonsense. To cultivate Incense Great Dao, the key lies in having an Incense Spirit. You must first refine a spirit body that is able to replace your physical body and integrate with your Divine Nation in order to absorb the incense power of your believers.” Min Changjing continued, “But let me remind you that it is very hard to refine an Incense Spirit, because this spirit must be of the same origins as yourself, yet it must have its own will. The most important thing is that it must be completely obedient to you, otherwise, you will suffer a backlash instead.”
He looked at Qin Yu and scoffed, “Even though I know how to cultivate Incense Great Dao, after countless years, I have been unable to walk on that path precisely because I am unable to refine an Incense Spirit. Qin Yu, if you wish to cultivate Incense Great Dao in a short period of time to go against Emperor Qin, it is almost impossible!”
Qin Yu frowned, “Incense Spirit…” His eyes shone a little. “Do you mean that one has to refine a being that is basically an incarnation of themselves?”
Min Changjing was expressionless as he replied, “Of course it is not that simple. If it was just creating an incarnation, would I be stuck for so long?
“The most important thing about an Incense Spirit is its innate qualities. It has to be extremely powerful in order to carry the incense of your Divine Nation! I’ve spent many years but I have never been able to find an Incense Spirit that is powerful enough, and that’s why I gave up on the idea of walking on the Incense Great Dao path.”
Qin Yu got up, cupped his hands and said, “I know what you mean now. Goodbye.”
He took one step backwards and directly disappeared.
