Chapter 303 Incense Burner
Chapter 303 Incense Burner
"Huh!" Xia Daoming's heart trembled. He hurriedly suppressed the mountain god's scepter to prevent it from moving. At the same time, he looked up with shining eyes at the tray that had just been placed on the auction table and covered with a piece of brocade.
The host quickly lifted the brocade cloth, and what appeared before everyone was a quaint little incense burner.
There was no incense burning in the incense burner, only some incense ash that had long since solidified, but there was a faint purple smoke rising up and emitting a hint of lingering sandalwood.
As the fragrance emanated, the Mountain God Hu, which had been subdued by Xia Daoming, became a little restless again.
Xia Daoming quickly increased his strength to suppress it, looking at the incense burner with surprise.
"Strange, what is this incense burner? It actually caused the mountain god's hu to move strangely?"
Compared to Xia Daoming's surprise, the others were basically confused and talked a lot.
"What is this small incense burner used for? Is it a magic weapon? But there is not even a trace of magic power fluctuation?"
The host saw the discussion below and knew that he had successfully aroused people's curiosity and interest, so he slowly said: "This incense burner was obtained from an ancient ruined mountain temple."
After saying that, the host deliberately paused again.
"A mountain temple in an ancient ruin? Then this incense burner must be very old."
"But even so, what's the use of this incense burner? It's impossible that if we take it home and burn incense to worship, the mountain god will bless us to improve our cultivation day and night, right?"
There was discussion again.
Seeing that the time was almost right, the host spoke again, "It is said that in ancient times, the mountains, forests, valleys, hills, lakes and seas were all guarded by gods appointed by the heavens to ensure peace. These gods would build temples in their own areas and receive offerings from the people in their areas.
The abundance of incense is not only closely related to the spiritual practice of the gods, but is also one of the indicators used by the heavenly court to judge whether the gods are competent. Unfortunately, the time is too long ago, and no one knows what happened. Today, the heavenly court has disappeared, and the methods of collecting incense and using it to practice spiritual practice have also been lost.
And even if it has not been lost, collecting incense and using it to practice cultivation must have a great relationship with the Heavenly Palace. Now that the Heavenly Palace has disappeared, we can no longer absorb and refine the incense to improve our cultivation.
Otherwise, this furnace can already emit purple smoke out of thin air. Who knows how much faith power is condensed in this incense furnace. In ancient times, who knows how many monks and gods would fight over it. The owner of this furnace would never put it up for auction. "
"In that case, what use is this censer of incense to us? Are we just going to put it in the cave as a decoration? If so, if you give me a hundred spirit stones, I would be willing to buy it and put it at home." A Jindan cultivator with a full beard shouted loudly upon hearing this.
"Ha ha!"
Many people laughed out loud when they heard this.
"Fellow Daoist Yunran, you are joking. Even though we cannot absorb and refine the power of the incense burner and turn it into our own cultivation, it still has other wonderful uses." The host obviously recognized the bearded monk, and that bearded monk probably had some background. Hearing this, he was not annoyed but smiled instead.
"Oh, what's the magical effect?" the bearded monk asked curiously.
Everyone looked curious when they heard this.
“When practicing, take out this incense burner and order someone to light a fire underneath to stimulate the power of the incense in the incense burner. This can have a very good effect of calming the mind and greatly improving the effect of practice.
Especially when the foundation-building cultivators are striving to reach the Golden Core Realm, if they have this furnace to help, they can greatly reduce the interference of the inner demons and increase the chance of forming a golden core. In this way, this incense burner is equivalent to a good elixir that helps to form a golden core. "
The host explained calmly and his voice was clear, echoing in the auction hall and clearly audible.
"What? It can greatly reduce the interference of the inner demon and increase the chance of forming a pill! It's equivalent to a good elixir that helps form a pill!"
The foundation-building monks in the crowd became excited.
The several foundation-building monks sitting next to Xia Daoming were no exception.
The biggest goal of these people now is to form a pill.
Even some Jindan cultivators were moved.
The effect of calming the mind and calming the heart is nothing special, there is no shortage of things with such effects in the spiritual practice world today.
However, there are very few things that can help reduce the interference of inner demons when a foundation-building cultivator is trying to reach the golden elixir realm, and each one is very valuable.
Most Jindan cultivators live to a very old age. Even if they have no children or descendants, most of them will have some disciples who need to be cultivated and inherit their mantle.
Therefore, they also need things that help to form the elixir, but the degree of urgency is different.
"How many times can this incense burner be ignited with fire?" the bearded monk asked again.
"It depends on how long it takes. Generally speaking, for a cultivator who has established his foundation to reach the Golden Core realm, not only does it take a long time, but he also needs to use fierce fire all the time to greatly reduce the effect of his inner demons. So after a golden core formation process, it is estimated that the power of the incense in the incense burner will be completely dissipated." The host's face changed slightly, but he still explained everything in detail.
In order to get a high price, he could deliberately downplay or avoid talking about some of the shortcomings of the auction item, but for the reputation of Iron Fan Island, he could never lie.
Originally, the host wanted to avoid talking about the ineffectiveness of the incense's power, but when the bearded monk pressed him, he had to give a detailed account.
As expected, as soon as the host said this, many Jindan cultivators showed disappointment and lack of interest.
When a foundation-building cultivator is striving to reach the Golden Core realm, the size of his inner demons varies from person to person.
Therefore, when the host said that it reduced the effect of interference from inner demons, everyone still believed it. After all, the host would not dare to make up something. But to say that it greatly reduced the effect, that is difficult to judge, and it is probably an exaggeration.
But if the incense burner can be used multiple times, as long as people know that it has this effect, even if the host's words exaggerate the effect, it is worth auctioning it at a high price.
Seeing the poor reaction from the audience, the host's mind raced, and soon a calm smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "The miraculous pills that help to form the elixir are not rare, and you can always buy them as long as you can afford a high price.
But in this day and age, it is no longer possible to collect the power of incense. Incense burners that condense the power of incense are hard to come by. If you miss it, you will never be able to buy it even at a high price.
Maybe the power of the incense can have a miraculous effect on your breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm that even the Three Yuan Spiritual Fruit or even the Chixia Pill cannot match. That would be a great opportunity that you would miss. The starting price of this incense burner from the Mountain God Temple is only 500,000, which is not even enough to buy a Three Yuan Spiritual Fruit or a fraction of a Chixia Pill. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it. The auction starts now, what are you waiting for? "
The host's voice echoed in the auction hall, full of bewitching power.
As expected, most of those Jindan cultivators were unmoved, but many foundation-building cultivators suddenly felt their blood rush to their heads.
Yes, their spirit stone budget is limited, and they are destined to never be able to afford the Sanyuan Spiritual Fruit, Chixia Pill and other top-quality elixir-forming items in this lifetime.
In this case, now that the opportunity is in front of us, why not take a chance?
Maybe it was because of this incense burner that he succeeded in forming the elixir?
"Six hundred thousand!"
The old man who looked like a businessman sitting next to Xia Daoming immediately called out a price.
"Six hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"
"..."
"one million!"
The price quickly climbed to one million.
"Fuck!" The old merchant next to Xia Daoming wiped the sweat from his forehead, cursed with an ugly face, and then gave up completely.
He definitely couldn't afford this price.
"Fuck!"
The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators around him all gave up bidding, cursing in low voices.
When the monks around Xia Daoming gave up one after another, the price of the incense burner continued to rise.
After all, forming a pill is no trivial matter. As long as there is something that helps to form a pill, people with strength will definitely strive for it and will not be willing to give up.
Soon the price climbed to 1.2 million.
"One million, six hundred thousand!" Suddenly, the bearded monk shouted out one million, six hundred thousand, and after that, his eyes swept around with a burning look, as if he was determined to win.
The bearded monk has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core, and it seems that he is only one step away from entering the late stage of the Golden Core.
With his piercing gaze, the auction hall soon became quiet.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators all lowered their heads. Several Jindan cultivators moved their lips but finally closed them.
After all, the price is already quite high, and the person who made the bid is someone with considerable background and strength.
Seeing that no one made any bids for a while, the host couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
He had just successfully stirred up the gambling nature in people and was able to auction it at a higher price, but he was once again disrupted by the bearded monk.
"Two million!"
Just when the host thought that no one would bid anymore and the incense burner would belong to the bearded monk, suddenly an old and hoarse voice came from the crowd.
"Two million!"
There was an uproar in the auction hall.
The monks sitting next to Xia Daoming were all shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
The bearded monk's face suddenly darkened, and even a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the host looked at him with a cold gaze and said calmly, "Someone has offered two million now. Do you want to bid, Brother Yunran?"
The bearded monk sensed the warning in the host's eyes and finally remembered that this was Iron Fan Island, where he could not act recklessly.
"Two million, three hundred thousand!" The bearded monk quickly made the bid, and then cast his cold eyes towards Xia Daoming, full of warning.
"Three million!" Xia Daoming, who was behind the conical hat, seemed not to notice the warning look from the bearded monk at all. Without any pause, he raised the price to three million.
"three million!"
The entire auction fell into a brief silence, followed by an uproar.
The bearded monk's face turned extremely ugly, especially when the host asked him if he still wanted to bid, his beard began to tremble.
But in the end, he chose to give up.
With his status and strength, he could afford three million, but if he continued to bid, he would not only feel like a sucker, but it would also inevitably affect his subsequent bidding for what he really wanted.
