Wynter carefully examined the item in her hand. Throughout history, anything made from locust wood


    had been deemed unsuitable for people to wear.


    It was important to note that Scandonese characters had profound meanings, sometimes rted to the


    Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.


    For example, the character for “locust” was rted to “disasters“, which suggested that it was wood


    used by ghosts and spirits.


    Locust trees preferred to grow under shade, and in some southern regions, people would asionally


    use them to make coffins.


    In order to make urns with lotus designs rted to Zen, one could use cedar wood or mahogany. If


    those weren’t avable, por wood would also suffice.


    But people would never use locust wood, as it could easily attract disasters or spirits over time.


    Moreover, the pattern of this lotus was also unusual–it had twists and turns that made people”


    ufortable.


    Atwater had once said that there were thousands of Mystic Path statues in the world. He had also said


    that If one believed in Mystic Path, one must be sure that one was genuine, as the legends of Mystic


    Path originated from Edraian.


    Some non–traditional Mystic Path statues over there might represent evil.


    Wynter raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the lotus wood cover in her hand couldn’t be anything good.


    “Ms. Yeaton, do you believe in Mystic Path?” Wynter asked with a lightugh. It seemed that she


    wanted to ease the tension.


    Winnie immediately replied, “I asionally pray. If you like this ne, feel free to take it. I have


    many more. You can pick one some other time.”


    “Thank you, Ms. Yeaton.” Wynter had changed the way she addressed Winnie because of Marie’s


    concern.


    “What I’m interested in isn’t this ne, but rather the lotus wood cover on the ne. When you


    asked for this item, didn’t the other party tell you that locust wood is prone to attract problems?”


    Winnie looked puzzled. “Asked for it? Oh, I didn’t ask for this. It was…”


    ”


    At this point, she paused, nced at Marie subconsciously, and continued, “It was given to me by


    Naomi, There’s also a very nice fragrance hidden inside. The sandalwood aroma is very calming.”


    “Sandalwood?” Wynter turned the lotus wood cover, and the ck mist inside didn’t move. Leo sniffed


    and immediately covered his nose. “It’s stinky! It can’t be sandalwood!”


    Any spirit would enjoy offerings.


    There were many records of it in the Shund mythology. Spirits who had absorbed sandalwood


    would gain merit, which was very helpful in their spiritual cultivation.


    Hence, spirits were willing to absorb sandalwood.


    Leo, the twins, and Wolf didn’t like it.


    Wynter smirked yfully. “This thing is probably corpse smell.”


    Corpse smell?

    Winnie didn’t understand fortune–telling, but she could tell from the words alone that this thing was


    terrifying.


    At this point, Marie was even more eager to grab the item and throw it away!


    Wynter stopped her. “Mom, don’t touch it. I’ll take care of it.”


    Winnie’s lips turned pale when she saw this. “Sevie, w–what is ‘corpse smell‘?”


    “It’s something that came from the border. From what I understand about its ingredients, most of it is


    made from human ashes. They also add some other random things to it. It’s used by some non–


    traditional sects to influence their followers‘ thinking.”


    When Wynter mentioned human ashes, Winnie began to quiver in fear. The most important thing was


    that this had been a gift from Naomi!
