Mortal Seeking Immortal

Ye Zhou's eyes fell on a stick of incense on the auction table that was only about an inch long. This stick of incense was exactly the same as the residual incense that Ye Zhou got from Danyangzi Secret Realm in terms of appearance and color.

When he first got this stick of incense, Ye Zhou had privately searched many jade slips that recorded ancient wonders, but he couldn't find any information about this incense. He didn't expect to see this incense at this auction today.

Ye Zhou noticed that as soon as these four items were taken out, dozens of divine consciousnesses were released from the second-floor box almost instantly, and swept towards this residual incense at the same time. Everyone paid much more attention to this incense than the other top-grade magic weapon of Jindan.

After a while, the dozens of divine consciousnesses reluctantly withdrew from the residual incense. At this time, a deep middle-aged male voice came from a box opposite Ye Zhou: "May I ask the young clan leader, is this the exorcist incense whose formula has long been lost in the legend?"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into silence. All the monks' eyes fell on the handsome man, waiting for his answer.

The handsome man standing on the auction table nodded and said: "Yes, this distinguished guest has a good eye. This is the ancient strange incense that is highly sought after by ancient monks, the exorcist incense."

The handsome man's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the originally silent auction hall instantly boiled.

"This is actually an exorcist incense! It is said that if a cultivator lights this incense when breaking through a realm, it can protect him from the interference of the inner demons during the breakthrough. I didn't expect that I could still see this incense in my lifetime."

"Liuxing Pavilion is really powerful. I don't know where they got this strange incense from. From the auction information revealed before, I didn't hear Liuxing Pavilion promote this item. Could it be that they just got it not long ago and haven't had time to promote it yet?"

The handsome man said: "This exorcist incense was sent to our Liuxing Pavilion for auction before the auction started, so there was no time to promote it."

Someone wondered: "Exorcist incense is so precious, why doesn't Liuxing Pavilion release it? At the end, it was reserved for the finale of the auction, but it was taken out now? "

A cultivator sitting slightly in the front glanced at the exorcist incense on the auction table and explained: "Although the exorcist incense is precious, the remaining incense is too short. If it takes a long time to break through the realm, this incense may not be enough. "

"It should be noted that when a cultivator breaks through the realm, it is often easier to be invaded by the inner demons as the end approaches, and the higher the cultivation level, the longer it takes to break through. Looking at the length of this remaining incense, it is barely enough for a Jindan realm cultivator to break through the cultivation level. "

When this cultivator said this, some cultivators present showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

When the head of the Mu clan, who was sitting next to Ye Zhou, heard the name of this incense, he stood up with a bang, took two steps forward, and stared at the remaining incense on the auction table with a look of pain in his eyes.

The monk sitting behind Patriarch Mu saw that Patriarch Mu had lost his composure and stood up to speak, but saw Patriarch Mu turned around and shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "I didn't expect that the exorcist incense that my Mu family had spent so much effort to find would now appear at the auction of Liuxing Pavilion. It's really fate that this incense is destined to be out of reach for my Mu family."

The monk of the Mu family looked at Patriarch Mu with a worried look on his face: "Patriarch, the old patriarch was secretly murdered by a traitor at that time, so he was attacked by the inner demon. Even if this incense is found, it can't save the old patriarch. At most, it can only make the old patriarch feel better before leaving. Patriarch, you don't have to blame yourself."

Patriarch Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

Patriarch Mu sat back in his original position, and the auction officially began. After the handsome man said the reserve price of the exorcist incense, the monks present began to participate in the auction, and most of the bidders were monks in the box on the second floor.

But in a short while, the price of this piece of exorcism incense was raised to a high price of one million middle-grade spirit stones, and the bidding continued. It seemed that these people were determined to bid for this piece of exorcism incense.

As time passed, the price of the exorcism incense was raised to 1.2 million middle-grade spirit stones. At this time, the number of people bidding also decreased a lot, and only the three boxes on the second floor continued to bid.

A male voice came from the box opposite Ye Zhou: "One million and three hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

As soon as this price was announced, the other two bidding boxes fell silent, as if they were hesitating whether to continue.

After a few breaths, the handsome man on the auction table said, "One million and three hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones at a time. Are there any fellow Taoists here who want to bid for this piece of exorcist incense?"

"This incense has long been extinct in the world of immortal cultivation. Today's piece of exorcist incense may be the last piece left in the world. You won't be able to buy it again in the future."

"In addition, I know that many alchemists want to restore the formula of this incense. Although this piece of exorcist incense is short, I think it should be enough for alchemists to use for analysis."

Ye Zhou knew that the handsome man wanted to raise the price of exorcist incense on purpose. Perhaps because the exorcist incense had long been lost, except for the cultivators who had close contact with the exorcist incense, the rest of the people did not know that the exorcist incense itself had no smell.

Even if an alchemist bid for the exorcist incense, he could not analyze the materials for refining the exorcist incense based on this piece of residual incense.

In a spacious private room on the second floor, a young man in elegant clothes looked at the exorcist incense on the auction table with longing in his eyes. He had already taken in the handsome man's words about the restoration formula.

The several older monks who were originally sitting behind the young man could no longer sit still. They stood up and advised: "Young Patriarch, don't bid anymore. The spirit stones we brought this time are used to buy some rare materials for alchemy. They must not be used on this piece of exorcist incense."

"If we can't bring those alchemy materials back to the clan, the clan leader might be furious."

The young man's face darkened when he heard this, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "Okay, this time my father ordered me to be fully responsible for the Liuxing Pavilion auction. I will be responsible if something goes wrong. Don't say anything more."

"Besides, if someone in the clan uses this exorcism incense I bought to research the formula, then our Wan family will become one of the best alchemy families in the Konghai Continent."

After the young man finished speaking, without waiting for the older monks to continue persuading him, when the handsome man on the auction table shouted "1.3 million middle-grade spirit stones for the second time", the young man quickly said: "1.35 million middle-grade spirit stones."

The handsome man showed a satisfied smile on his face, looked at the box where the young man was and said: "1.35 million middle-grade spirit stones for the first time."

No one bid at the scene, and the older monks standing behind the young man looked ashen.

"One million, three hundred and fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones for the second time."

"One million, three hundred and fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones for the third time. Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for successfully bidding for this unique exorcist incense."

A maid held the exorcist incense and walked slowly towards the box where the young man was.
