I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 328: The Battle of Incense Burners
"You? When did Qingyuan Sect produce a Jindan cultivator like you? I don't think I've ever seen one before!" The disdain on Qi Shilei's face became even stronger.

"Haha, this is normal, I haven't seen you either!" Xia Daoming replied with a smile on his face, but the taste of tit-for-tat was obvious.

"The ignorant are fearless, but the young are to be feared!" Qi Shilei looked at Xia Daoming with contempt, smiled faintly, and then grabbed in the air, and a hand appeared in the air to take the incense burner on the table.

"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist, you seem to have forgotten that I was the one who bought this incense burner first." Seeing this, Xia Daoming stretched out his hand in the air, transformed it into a palm, and blocked the other party's palm.

Seeing this, Qi Shilei's face changed slightly and he withdrew his hand.

Wusha City is related to the teleportation array of the Killing Cave and Youhuang Ruins. Not only is there the Jindan guardian of Xuantian Pavilion guarding it, but Xuantian Pavilion also has a clear rule that no fighting is allowed in Wusha City, otherwise there will be a killing spree.

Xuantian Pavilion controls the entire Great Xuan Domain. Even though Qi Shilei is confident of his status and strength, he dare not break the rules set by Xuantian Pavilion in public.

"Since you bought it, ask the stall owner if he is willing to sell it to you!" After Qi Shilei withdrew his hand, he looked at the stall owner coldly.

The stall owner looked at Qi Shilei, then at Xia Daoming, his forehead covered with cold sweat and his face turned pale.

Xia Daoming glanced at the stall owner and frowned slightly.

He could see that the stall owner's timid look was somewhat of a show, but he could also understand his situation.

Even Luo Qian seemed to be very afraid of this Qi family's Jindan elder, so how could he, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to offend him?
The best thing to do at this time is to pretend to be afraid and not dare to speak, and let the two Jindan cultivators argue.

"Haha, Brother Qi, why do you have to force me? Since you also want this incense burner, that's easy. Didn't you offer 100,000? Then I'll offer 150,000. The highest bidder wins. That's reasonable, right?"

Xia Daoming quickly relaxed his brows and continued to smile. No one could tell what he was really thinking.

"You want to snatch things from me with a mere 150,000 yuan? Luo Qian, your Qingyuan Sect's new Jindan cultivator, seems to have a bit of a confused mind!" Qi Shilei didn't look at Xia Daoming, but turned to Luo Qian with a mocking look on his face.

Luo Qian's face became more gloomy. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Daoming took the lead again and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you can afford the price, then bid. If you can't, please leave."

"Haha, good! Very good! I didn't expect that Qingyuan Sect still dares to be so rampant today! Then I'll offer one million!" Qi Shilei laughed in anger, and after that, he looked down at Xia Daoming with contempt.

One million low-grade spirit stones is certainly not a large sum for Qi Shilei, but for a newly promoted Jindan cultivator, it is definitely a considerable sum.

Seeing Qi Shilei offer a price of one million, the stall owner's lowered eyes flashed with a hint of joy, while Luo Qian and others all changed their expressions.

One million low-grade spirit stones is a considerable sum for Luo Qian, who is now in financial difficulty.

"Two million!" Xia Daoming smiled slightly and made the bid without hesitation.

Qi Shilei was stunned, but quickly said, "Three million."

"Four million!" Xia Daoming followed up without hesitation.

This incense burner is related to the subsequent power of the thing he risked his life for. He is determined to get it, so how could he give it up?
Isn't it just a few million spirit stones? Master Xia just casually gave away a Four Elephants Pill worth 70 million. Would he be scared by you?

Qi Shilei's seemingly youthful face finally turned ugly, and he felt an embarrassing feeling of being in a difficult situation.

He originally thought that one million would be enough to scare off Xia Daoming, an unknown new Jindan cultivator.

As a result, they directly followed up with two million.

This made Qi Shilei feel a little painful, but he couldn't save face and had to follow suit.

But in the end, this guy actually followed up with four million without hesitation.

Qi Shilei could certainly come up with four million, but it would be a bit of a pain.

If this incense burner is really worth spirit stones, he would naturally not hesitate and would definitely continue to increase his bid.

However, although these incense burners passed down from ancient temples are hard to come by, their value is not too high for monks.

Generally speaking, it is only worth a few million. A few that have condensed a huge amount of incense may be worth tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones.

However, the incense burner in front of him was not only badly broken, but also surrounded by evil aura. It required the Nascent Soul Patriarch to refine it before he could get a glimpse of its essence and use it, but it was not worth many spirit stones.

If he followed up again, what if this kid suddenly laughed and gave in? Wouldn't he be made a fool of himself and become the scapegoat?

But he was the one who started the matter. If he didn't follow up, he would inevitably worry about being laughed at and accused of not being able to defeat a new Jindan cultivator from the Qingyuan Sect.

Qi Shilei had many thoughts in his mind for a while. After a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "Since you care so much about this broken thing with evil spirits, why not let me give it to you? You pay the spirit stones, or I won't mind going to the city lord to sue you for breaking the rules."

"You..." As soon as Qi Shilei said this, Luo Qian's face turned pale, and Luo Mu and others also looked unhappy.

In their opinion, Qi Shilei was obviously playing tricks on Xia Daoming.

The incense burner, which could clearly be bought for 30,000 yuan, forced him to spend a huge sum of 4 million yuan.

"Hey, Elder Luo, this guy is so arrogant that he has to compete with me. What can I do?" Qi Shilei couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Luo Qian and others' ugly faces. "Haha!" The people following Qi Shilei laughed when they saw this, with mockery written all over their faces.

"Isn't it just four million spirit stones? If Elder Qi is reluctant to part with it, then why bother pretending? Or are you, a dignified elder of the Qi family, so narrow-minded that you can only play such a shameless trick of arguing? If so, I am really disappointed!"

Xia Daoming smiled faintly, then waved his hand casually, and a mountain of low-grade spirit stones appeared in front of the stall owner.

"You..." Qi Shilei's face was gloomy and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Did I say something wrong? Then how about Elder Qi continue to bid?" Xia Daoming sneered disdainfully.

Qi Shilei's expression changed several times, and suddenly he laughed, staring at Xia Daoming with his eyes like knives: "Very good, I will remember you!"

Xia Daoming just looked at Qi Shilei with disdain, then turned to the stall owner and said coldly: "Business should be honest, but I can understand your situation, so I will still give you the spirit stone according to the price of the auction later. Just accept it. I will never trouble you afterwards. I just hope you won't do it again!"

After saying that, Xia Daoming grabbed the broken incense burner from the air.

"Elder Luo, let's go!" After Xia Daoming put away the broken incense burner, he didn't even look at Qi Shilei and the others. Instead, he said with a smile to Luo Qian, who was still staring at the four million spirit stones with a hint of pain on his face.

"Uh, yeah." Luo Qian was awakened then. He reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turned around and left side by side with Xia Daoming.

Seeing this, Luo Mu and others hurriedly followed.

"Ask someone to find out who this new Jindan cultivator of Qingyuan Sect is and what his background is?" Watching Xia Daoming and the others leave, Qi Shilei's face was as gloomy as water and words as cold as ice came out of his mouth.

The stall owner suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He hurriedly put away the spirit stones, then quietly left the market town and found a restaurant in the outer city to stay in.

Four million spirit stones is definitely a huge sum of money for a cultivator who is building a foundation.

If you rashly leave Wusha City at this time, you will definitely be robbed and killed by someone with ulterior motives.

The stall owner believed that at least among the six people behind the elder of the Qi family, someone would definitely follow him and rob him.

But as long as they stay in Wusha City, no one dares to take action because of the rules of Xuantian Pavilion.

Therefore, the stall owner decided to stay in Wusha City first, use up most of the spirit stones and convert them into his own cultivation before leaving.

Xia Daoming naturally had no idea about these things, nor did he care.

At this time, he had spent nearly four million more, but not only did he not feel the slightest bit of regret, he was secretly delighted.

With this incense burner in hand, he can use the Mountain God's Sceptre boldly whether he goes to the Slaughter Cave to look for the White Tiger Blood Pearl in the near future, or enters the Xuanwu Secret Realm to look for the Xuanwu Blood Pearl six years later.

How can this be measured by a mere four million spirit stones?

"Elder Xia was impulsive just now! Isn't it just a broken incense burner? What's wrong with giving it to Qi Shilei? Even if Qi Shilei's lineage has a lot to do with the death of your great-grandmaster and the injury of your master, there is no need for you to compete with him at this time!

Now, it's good, four million spirit stones have been wasted in vain. Wouldn't it be better if you use four million spirit stones to buy some elixirs to consolidate your foundation and improve your cultivation? Even if you don't buy elixirs and spirit medicines, if you keep such a large amount of spirit stones on hand and work hard to accumulate for a period of time, you may be able to raise enough spirit stones to buy a magic weapon.

There is still a big difference in combat power between a Jindan cultivator with a magic weapon and without one. With a magic weapon in hand, you can truly exert your Jindan cultivation. Otherwise, it is good enough to exert 70% to 80% of your abilities. "

After walking for a while, Luo Qian still considered himself an elder of Qingyuan Sect and couldn't help but blame him.

"Oh, the Qi Shilei lineage is actually closely related to the death of my grandmaster and the injury of my master!" A chill emanated from Xia Daoming's body.

"Didn't your master mention this to you?" Luo Qian's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"He thought that my cultivation was low at that time and was unwilling to talk about this matter with me. Although I have now entered the Golden Elixir Avenue, the old man is in seclusion." Xia Daoming replied.

Luo Qian pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "With your foundation-building cultivation level back then, it would be of no use to tell you this. Instead, it would easily cause you to feel depressed and affect your cultivation.

In fact, even if I tell you now, you won't be able to change anything. But you are now a Jindan elder, so there are some things you still need to know so that you can be prepared in advance."

At this point, Luo Qian paused for a moment, and a look of unwillingness gradually appeared on his face: "Speaking of that year, if Qi Shilei's grandfather Qi Leyang had not received the letter for help, he would have deliberately stayed silent and was reluctant to come to the rescue;
Or maybe your grandmaster and your master had not been so soft-hearted back then, and seeing the power of the demons, they would not have cared about the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Xuan Nation, and evacuated as soon as possible, so that one person would not have died and the other would not have been seriously injured, and the Qingyuan Sect would not have ended up in the situation it is in now."

"A real man has his own ways of doing things and his own ways of not doing things. If our Grandmaster and my Master had not cared about the lives of millions of people, what difference would there be between us and Qi Leyang and the others?
And I know my master's character. If he had really done that, no matter how great the opportunity was in this life, he would never have been able to overcome his inner demons and would have no hope of achieving the Nascent Soul stage." Xia Daoming said solemnly with a stern look on his face.

“Hmph, even if he can’t get past his inner demons and has no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, with his talent for cultivation, he will definitely reach the late Golden Core stage. At least he doesn’t have to be like he is now, a half-useless person, locked up at Tianjian Peak all day without going out.

Moreover, if they had retreated earlier, our Qingyuan Sect would not have fallen into such a state with two Yuanying ancestors in charge. "Luo Qian said bitterly.

Xia Daoming looked at Luo Qian, moved his lips and wanted to refute, but swallowed the words back.

He could see that with Luo Qian's personality, he only had the sect, cultivation and his daughter in his eyes, so he could not understand his master's actions, so no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
