In an apartment far away in Buren City.
Smith respectfully brought some incense sticks he previously bought from Chinatown and seriously advised the dozen white and black elderly folks in the room.
"This step is called burning incense. I checked Wikipedia, and there is indeed an Immortal called Earth God in the East. As long as you sincerely offer incense to the Earth God, you can receive the Earth God's protection. Watch my movements to learn how to burn the incense. In the future, you just need to sincerely burn three sticks every day. There's no cost, nor do you have to attend any service. As long as the Earth God is in your heart, the Earth God will protect you from illness and harm on this land."
Smith lit the tip of the incense with a lighter, then walked to the Earth Shrine, placing three sticks of incense into the incense burner before it.
The others immediately followed suit, mimicking Smith in offering incense to the Earth Shrine.
