"It's okay to give some advice, but these things are all secrets passed down by the ancestors of my Xuanhua Temple. They should not be passed down to others lightly." Master Xuanhua said slowly, as if he was pointing out something.

"Yuan understands that he still has some savings. He is willing to give five hundred spiritual stones to repair the Xuanhua Temple. I also ask fellow Taoist Xuanhua to accept it." Yuan Ming took out a storage magic weapon and handed it over.

"There is no need for spiritual stones. I have something else to ask for, which will be of great benefit to you and me. As long as my fellow Taoist agrees, I am willing to pass on the incense Tao inheritance of the ancestors of Xuanhua Temple, as well as Pindao's lifelong experience in making incense. ." Master Xuanhua did not take the storage artifact, but stared at Yuan Ming with very eager eyes.

"I wonder what fellow Taoist Xuanhua wants to do here?" Yuan Ming saw Master Xuanhua's expression was strange and didn't know what request he would make, so his words were very vague.

"Fellow Taoist Yuan's talent in the incense path is astonishing. Are you interested in joining the Xuanhua Temple and concentrating on understanding the incense path? With your fellow Taoist qualifications and the help of this temple, you will definitely become a first-generation master of the incense path in less than fifty years." Master Xuanhua said with a solemn expression, making it clear at a glance that the words he spoke were indeed sincere.

"Join Xuanhua Temple?" Yuan Ming frowned slowly, obviously unwilling.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please don't misunderstand me. Pindao invites you to join Xuanhua Temple, not to accept you as a disciple. You and I are equals, regardless of high or low. Although our Xuanhua Temple is not large in scale, we still have some resources. In terms of spiritual incense His research is even more profound. There are few companies in the entire Yue Kingdom that can match it. As long as fellow Taoists are willing to join, you can use and read all the things in this temple, including various incense-making materials and spiritual incense books." Xuan Hua Zhenren's eyes were slightly anxious and he continued to persuade.

When Yuan Ming heard that he could read any classics at will, the animal skin book appeared in his mind. He was quite moved, but in the end he shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist Xuanhua, but Yuan likes to be free and does not want to be influenced by the clan." Door ties."

"Fellow Taoist Yuan, don't worry about this. You can ignore any trivial matters when you join this temple and focus on studying the incense. I will handle all the daily affairs of Xuanhua Temple and will never trouble you." Taoist Xuanhua was a little unwilling and continued to persuade. road.

A genius like Yuan Ming would only appear in a few hundred years. If he could be recruited under his disciples, Xuanhua Guan's future prosperity would be just around the corner.

"You don't need to say anything, fellow Taoist Xuanhua. I will not join any sect at the moment. Please forgive me." Yuan Ming shook his head extremely firmly.

Having just experienced the annihilation of the Biluo Cave, he now just wanted to practice quietly alone, and really had no intention of joining a second sect at this juncture.

Seeing Yuan Ming's firm attitude, Master Xuanhua knew that trying to persuade him would be in vain and would only make him angry, so he had no choice but to shut up.

"Fellow Taoist Xuanhua, I am willing to donate an additional three hundred spirit stones to Guiguan in exchange for some advice on making incense. Is that okay?" Yuan Ming made a last-ditch effort and said.

"Although my Xuanhua Temple is small, I still have some spiritual stones, so there's no need for that." Master Xuanhua said.

Yuan Ming was disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't pay much attention.

With the Heaven Stealing Cauldron around, he could possess Master Xuanhua at any time and secretly learn the art of making incense. It didn't matter if he couldn't get any guidance.

"The incense-making experience passed down by the founder of this temple cannot be taught to outsiders, but the poor Taoist's crude understanding of incense is no problem. Since fellow Taoist Yuan is interested, we can learn from each other." To Yuan Ming's surprise, Master Xuanhua continued.

Yuan Ming was stunned there and forgot to answer the question for a moment.

"The so-called spirit fragrance, the most important thing is the word spirit, and then the fragrance." Master Xuanhua ignored it and said to himself.

"What do you mean by this? Fellow Taoist Xuanhua, please explain it more clearly." Yuan Ming couldn't understand the meaning of these words, so he hurriedly listened and asked.

"Spiritual incense is the same as ordinary creatures. It is the product of the power of the five elements. Each spiritual incense contains spiritual materials with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which form the basis of a spiritual incense. Then other spiritual materials are combined Add it in and finally condense it into a spiritual fragrance." Master Xuanhua said.

Yuan Ming nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and he also gained some clarity on many doubts he had when making incense.

"When making spiritual incense, be sure not to be rigid and unchanging. Each monk's spiritual root constitution is different. Even if it is the same spiritual incense, the ratio of the five spiritual materials must be adjusted according to the target person's situation, so that the effect can be optimal. "Master Xuanhua continued.

Although Yuan Ming did not agree to join Xuanhua Temple, Master Xuanhua did not hide his secrets and taught him all his incense making skills. Half a day passed quickly.

Although it only lasted half a day, Yuan Ming's understanding of spiritual incense was much deeper than before. Combined with his previous experience in making incense, he had a deeper understanding of the way of incense.

"Fellow Taoist Xuanhua, I heard that there is a foundation-building fragrance in Xuanhua Temple, which can increase the success rate of foundation-building. Is this true?" Yuan Ming asked.

When Master Xuanhua heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "The foundation-building spirit incense is the biggest secret of this temple. Even the disciples of this temple don't know it. How did Fellow Daoist Yuan know about it?"

"The senior who taught me the way of incense told me to come here to find this incense, and use the power of this incense to break through the foundation building period." Yuan Ming said nonsensically.

"That senior said it..." Master Xuanhua's expression changed slightly.

Yuan Mingxiang's achievements on the road were so amazing that Master Xuanhua was convinced that he had the guidance of an expert. With this preconceived impression, he did not doubt Yuan Ming's words and secretly speculated whether the expert and Xuanhua Guan had any origin.

"Since what the senior said, I am not lying. This temple does have a formula for the foundation-building spiritual incense. I will tell you the truth. I also want to use this incense to advance to foundation-building. It's just that I need to use this incense to advance. It can only be effective if it is combined with the Foundation Building Pill. Secondly, its refining difficulty is quite high, far beyond the level of Zi Xuanxiang and others. The materials required are also extremely precious, and I have not been able to get them together so far, let alone make them." Master Xuanhua shook his head and sighed.

"What materials are we still missing, Fellow Taoist?" Yuan Ming asked, thinking to himself, no wonder this Foundation Establishment Incense has not been as widely circulated as the Foundation Establishment Pill. It seems that the difficulty of refining this incense is probably no less than that of the Foundation Establishment Pill. And there are many restrictions.

"Of the other materials that Pindao has collected, there are currently only water-attribute spiritual materials left that have not been found." Master Xuanhua said.

"I have found out that the Bailong Chamber of Commerce on Bailong Island has recently obtained this spiritual material, but unfortunately they are not willing to sell it." Master Xuanhua thought for a while and then said.

"I wonder if fellow Taoist Xuanhua can tell me the name of the spiritual material. Maybe I can find a way to get them to give up a share." Yuan Ming said after hearing this.

Before Master Xuanhua could speak, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Come in." Master Xuanhua said.

The door was pushed open, and the fair-skinned Taoist boy walked in quickly, as if he had run all the way here, looking out of breath at the moment.

"What happened? You're in such a panic." Master Xuanhua shouted with a heavy face.

"Disciple, I'm sorry, it's the man from Bailong Island who is here." Taoist boy Bai Jing glanced at Yuan Ming and said.

"Didn't I clearly reject them a few days ago, why did they come here again!" Master Xuanhua was startled and said with a frown.

The white Taoist boy lowered his head and said nothing.

Yuan Ming's expression changed. As soon as they talked about Bailong Island, people from Bailong Island came to visit. What a coincidence.

It's just that the person coming here may not be kind. No wonder Taoist Bai Jing looked wary when he came to visit him just now.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, there are some matters in the temple. I will take care of them. Please wait here for a moment." Master Xuanhua turned to Yuan Ming and said.

"Fellow Taoist Xuanhua, please excuse me." Yuan Ming nodded.

"You stay here to greet the guests." Master Xuanhua ordered the Taoist boy and walked out quickly.

Yuan Ming sat down at the table in the room and asked, "Is there any tea?"

"Senior, wait a minute, I'll get it right away." Taoist Bai Jing said and walked out quickly.

Yuan Ming took this opportunity to take out some incense ashes from the incense burner on the table not far away, put them away, and stuffed a few spiritual stones into the incense burner.

The incense ashes previously obtained from Liu Xin Sect have been used up. Although Xuanhua Temple is not as large as Liu Xin Sect, it is still considered a sect. Many disciples offer incense to worship their ancestors every day. You can also try this incense ashes. .

The little Taoist boy who was in a hurry did not notice that a black soul crow followed him outside, flew silently towards the front yard of Xuanhua Temple, and soon landed on a big tree near the front hall.

From here, you can see a middle-aged man in black sitting in the living room in the front yard of Xuanhua Temple. He has thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, and his sharp eyes give people a feeling that it is difficult to approach, and his cultivation is also unpredictable. , Yuan Ming cannot see through it through the soul crow, and it should exist in the foundation building stage.

The clothes on this person are exactly the same as those of the White Dragon Island Shark who died in Black Rock City. It seems that he is also an elder of the White Dragon Island.

At this moment, the white Taoist boy came back with a hot teapot and teacup, and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Ming.

"This is the green dew tea from the temple. Although it is not a spiritual tea, it tastes very good. Senior, please give it a try." Bai Jing Taoist boy said obediently.

Yuan Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodded, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Senior, my name is Kong Bing." Taoist boy Bai Jing said respectfully.

"Kong Bing, that's a good name. Let me ask you, what are the people from Bailong Island doing here at Xuanhua Temple?" Yuan Ming asked.

"It seems that I'm looking for Master to discuss a business deal. I'm not sure. Master usually doesn't let us get involved in these matters." Taoist Bai Jing lowered his eyes and said.

Yuan Ming smiled when he heard this. This boy seemed young, but his mind was quite clever. He blocked the reason for his questioning with one sentence.

Fortunately, there are soul crows to investigate, and they will soon know the purpose of the man in black.

Master Xuanhua quickly arrived at the front hall, saw the man in black, and said solemnly: "Elder Bai, Pindao should have made it clear to you that the incense-making classics are the foundation of this sect and cannot be sold. Your Excellency, please come back. Well, if we continue to get entangled, I can only inform Tieyunguan about the matter and ask them to come forward and deal with it."

Tieyun Temple is one of the four major sects in the Eastern Region, and Ningcheng is under its jurisdiction and protection.

"Haha, fellow Taoist Xuanhua, why should you be angry? In Bai's view, there is no business that cannot be negotiated in this world. It all depends on the buyer's willingness to bid. I heard that you went to the Bailong Chamber of Commerce to buy Tianshui glue a few days ago. I will It has been brought here. As long as fellow Taoist nods, this piece of heavenly water glue and two thousand spiritual stones will be yours." The man in black chuckled, and a white jade box and a storage bag appeared on the table.

The man opened the jade box, and a faint cold air filled the air. There was a crystal-clear white colloid the size of an egg lying in the box, and the moisture in the hall became much richer.

When Master Xuanhua saw this object, his throat obviously rolled slightly.
