Chapter 46: Chapter 41: Rather Than Struggling to Die, Better to Burn With Passion

Upon hearing these words.

The incense burners began to stir.

“No, Elder An, you can’t use that!”

“Yes, yes, although this incense is also effective, compared to the Divine Invitation Incense, it’s too eerie.”

“It’s just a dead object, after all. Using it wouldn’t be a waste at all!”

The incense burners were right.

In terms of sentiment and reason, for An Ruolin to use the Divine Invitation Incense to bless himself would not be excessive.

More importantly, everyone was wary of ordinary incense.

Pray for peace, end up in jail; pray for a clean world, get an ear infection; pray for academic success, end up in a Ph.D. program…

None of these were appropriate for the critically ill Elder An.

An Xiaofu was also anxiously watching Elder An, softly speaking:

“Grandpa, let’s use that Divine Invitation Incense, shall we?”

In contrast, Elder An.

Upon hearing everyone’s persuading him to use the Divine Invitation Incense, he shook his head, smilingly refusing:

“I know everyone means well, but I’m sorry, if it were something else, this old man might agree with you.”

“But this… let me be selfish just this once. After all, I’ve personally experienced the Divine Invitation Incense, and I understand too well the importance of this kind of inspiration for people like us. If I use it one more time, then maybe another scientist will have one less opportunity to break through a bottleneck.”

“If I really have to use the Divine Invitation Incense, then I’ll just walk away.”

At this moment.

There was an inexplicable emotion in everyone’s eyes.

After a period of oppressive silence, an incense burner stepped forward:

“Elder An, without you, how would our Dragon Country be as strong as it is today? You shouldn’t underestimate yourself.”

“Little Daoist, please bring out three sticks of Divine Invitation Incense. I am willing to pay, to make a wish for Elder An.”

Even.

The live stream’s comments filled the screen with gifts, all hoping Ning An would notice this.

“I’m a coal boss, I have money, lots and lots of money, as long as the Ancestor nods in agreement, I’ll send however much incense needed, just to wish for three sticks of Divine Invitation Incense for Elder An.”

“What’s so great about being a coal boss? Having some money is nothing, I’m a student, and I’m willing to give up this month’s food expenses to bless Elder An.”

“Can we exchange a life for a life? I’m willing to give five years of my life to Elder An!”

…

Um!

Unlike the incense burners and stream fans, upon hearing everyone’s request, Ning An felt somewhat at a loss.

He also wanted Elder An to use the best Divine Invitation Incense.

Even to ensure Elder An’s health, he was willing to offer the temple’s strongest combination, Divine Invitation Incense combined with the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman.

Fulfillment without harm!

But only three sticks of Divine Invitation Incense were left, already used by Elder An on the carbon fiber bottleneck.

Thus.

Ning An carefully chose his words, apologetically explaining:

“Esteemed devotees, it’s not that I, the little Daoist, am unwilling to offer the Divine Invitation Incense for Elder An’s health and well-being.”

“In truth, our temple no longer has any Divine Invitation Incense!”

Sss…

Upon hearing Ning An’s words, everyone’s hearts were subtly shaken.

“What? There’s no more Divine Invitation Incense?”

“What the little Daoist brought out before was already all that Changchun Temple had!”

“Damn! That damn Aluf and Camel, such clowns actually got to use Divine Invitation Incense?”

“No, the more I think about it the angrier I get, Camel got his chance, Aluf, just you wait!”

In everyone’s heart, Elder An was a towering hero, the backbone of the Dragon Country.

They didn’t want to see Elder An just leave like that.

Therefore, Brother Lao Tuo and Aluf, who had previously used Divine Invitation Incense, became the targets of everyone’s anger.

Even some eager incense burners present felt a bit hopeless.

They guessed that Elder An wouldn’t use the Divine Invitation Incense to bless himself.

But it didn’t matter, because after all, Changchun Temple didn’t forbid using the Divine Invitation Incense to bless others!

However, Ning An’s words directly shattered their thinking.

The Divine Invitation Incense, it’s completely gone!

As for whether Elder An’s health would benefit from ordinary incense blessings?

After a bitter smile, this idea had to be discarded.

After all, in Elder An’s current condition, how could he bear the consequences afterward?

At this point.

The expressions of the incense burners present contained pessimism and despair.

In their eyes, Elder An could no longer be saved.

Meanwhile.

Ning An looked at Elder An with deep regret, hesitantly saying:

“Elder An, this ordinary sandalwood, although also effective, differs from the Divine Invitation Incense in that… it demands a price upon fulfillment.”

Upon hearing these words.

The stream fans were also becoming agitated.

“Yeah, this ordinary incense is also effective, but can Elder An endure such a price?”

“No… Elder An, better not light it, I feel this incense is quite sinister.”

“It’s easy to say that, lighting incense gives Elder An a chance, not lighting it, then there’s truly no hope.”

Unlike everyone else’s serious expressions, Elder An only smiled indifferently:

“Don’t force it if it’s not meant to be. If you gain, you lose something; it’s a very fair thing, just a small matter.”

Pointing to the incense burner, Elder An said:

“Little Daoist, shall I continue making a wish now?”

Ning An nodded, reluctantly lighting three sticks of ordinary incense.

Seeing this, An Xiaofu quickly stepped forward to take them, carefully handing them to Elder An.

The stream fans at this time were also holding their breath with anticipation.

“This incense, what price do you think Elder An will pay for using it?”

“I don’t know, after all, none of us know what wish Elder An will make.”

“If he wishes for his health, that price… I’m afraid, sigh.”

As the stream fans speculated, Ning An couldn’t help but feel curious too.

As An Xiaofu inserted the incense into the incense burner, Ning An warmly said:

“Elder An, you may make your wish now.”

When it came time to make his wish, An Ruolin felt somewhat absent-minded.

To boast a bit.

He truly wasn’t afraid of death.

It’s nothing more than a white cloth cover, a piercing suona sound.

Perhaps taking this opportunity, the scientists who come to mourn, who aren’t well acquainted, could become more connected.

Regarding himself, he really had no regrets.

The country has honored him, his children are all around, and he even has an adorable granddaughter, what more could he want?

If he really had a wish, it was just one.

That Xiaowang could learn all his skills, and even surpass him!

This way, after he passes, Xiaowang could inherit the laboratory, and there might be another breakthrough in the carbon fiber project!

If there’s still energy left, taking on one or two more projects wouldn’t be out of the question.

This way, even in the afterlife, when bragging with those old buddies, he could speak louder…

Thinking of this, Elder An couldn’t help but chuckle dryly, the wrinkles on his face inexplicably relaxing.

Just at this moment, as Elder An started to make his wish, the system prompt sounded again.

[Gender: Male]

[Occupation: Scientist]

[Name: An Ruolin]

[Wish: For assistant Wang Xiao to learn all his lifetime knowledge and experience, for someone to carry forward the backbone of the Dragon Country again!]

[Unorthodox fulfillment method: Since Wang Xiao wants to fully reach An Ruolin’s level, it will take at least eight years, using the Five Ghosts Transport Skill to forcibly borrow eight years from the heavens!Cost: After eight years, the Five Ghosts will take away all of An Ruolin’s blessings and fortune; after An Ruolin’s death, he will never be reincarnated!]
