Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, and said: “If this is the case, then let me go back.”
Mai Chengxing quickly agreed, but when he raised his head and stood up, he suddenly let out an exclamation.
“Huh?! Isn’t this Xuanfengnian even being cut out of the relic by thunder?”
After listening to Ye Chen, he subconsciously looked at the place where Xuan Fengnian was split into powder by lightning, and he saw a gray-brown thing the size of a duck egg on the ground.
He couldn’t help frowning, and said, “Why is there such a big relic? I think it might be a kidney stone, right?”
“Not quite right” Mai Chengxing said, and stepped over involuntarily, picking up the gray-brown thing.
He looked carefully for a moment, and couldn’t help exclaiming: “My God! This is actually Ambergris!”
“Ambergris?” Ye Chen frowned. A few days ago, he dragged Qin Gang to help find Ambergris. He didn’t think that Xuan Fengnian had a piece on his body.
However, Ye Chen didn’t care too much
Because ambergris is actually not rare
Rich people can buy it at any time as long as they are willing to spend money
I think the first time I met Yu Jinghai at the Zhenbao Pavilion auction, there was a Songhe back-flow incense burner in the Jumbo Pavilion. At that time, in order to sell this Songhe back-flow incense burner at a high price, the auctioneer even gave it a special offer. Comes with two boxes of Ambergris
What Ye Chen needs for alchemy is ambergris that is at least ten thousand years old, and ordinary goods have no meaning at all.
So he said to Mai Chengxing: “This thing should be nothing strange. I don’t know what Xuan Fengnian did with such a piece of equipment.”
Mai Chengxing hurriedly said: “You don’t know Master Ye. If it is ordinary ambergris, the whole is waxy, and it is relatively flammable. As long as it is dry ambergris, it can be burned directly by the fire. But this one is a bit special”
As he said, he continued: “After being struck by your sky thunder, even the flesh and blood of Xuan Fengnian turned into powder, but this ambergris can still be stored intact. This shows that this ambergris can be stored intact. The incense has become a fossil!”
“It has become a fossil?!”
Ye Chen exclaimed, stepped forward, and asked, “Can you be sure this thing is really a fossil?”
Mai Chengxing handed the piece of ambergris to Ye Chen, and explained: “You see, Master Ye, this thing is now extremely hard and dense, and it is no longer waxy, more like a stone, if not The texture is relatively special, and I may not recognize it as ambergris.”
Ye Chen asked curiously: “Have you ever found a fossil of Ambergris before?”
Mai Chengxing hurriedly said: “There are some, but they are abroad, and they were bought by mysterious people at a very high price as soon as they came out.”
Ye Chen asked him: “Do you have any research on Ambergris?”
Mai Chengxing nodded and explained: “Ambergris has a strong medicinal effect, and it can let people get rid of distractions and relax completely. It is very suitable for entering a state of meditation. When deducing the gossip of the Book of Changes, there are It helps a lot, so most Feng Shui masters are very fond of ambergris. Even if you don’t have money, you must buy some incense containing ambergris. I usually prepare some, so I just made some. the study”
After speaking, Mai Chengxing said again: “Most of the ambergris on the market are obtained by hunting sperm whales in the deep sea, but the ambergris obtained by these two methods will not take too long.”
After a pause, Mai Chengxing continued: “It is said that some masters in the past need Ambergris for millennia, or even more than ten thousand years, as medicine.”
“But this kind of thing is too rare. The only way to find it is to go to the bottom of the deep sea.”
“This is because humans tens of thousands of years ago did not have the ability to kill sperm whales. At that time, sperm whales sank to the bottom of the sea after death, forming a whale fall, and after the bones were eaten by sea creatures, the ambergris would sleep and be buried in the seabed In the mud”
“However, finding a piece of ambergris that has been buried for more than 10,000 years in the sea is not much different from finding a needle in the sea, so almost no one can do it. The ambergris fossils discovered before are said to be due to geological movements. It was melted into the rock layer thousands of years ago, and the sky did not reappear until a few years ago.”
Ye Chen was overjoyed. If this piece of Ambergris can really reach the level of a fossil, it must have a history of more than tens of thousands of years. In this way, this thing may really meet the needs of refining the pill of cultivation. !
