"Okay, don't be pretentious here, you just want me to help you take a look." Venerable Fuyun glanced at the other party, and then said: "Bring the incense burner over."
Hearing this, Shi Jiu was overjoyed and immediately handed over the incense burner in his hand.
Venerable Fuyun did not take it directly, but gently held it with his left hand, and the incense burner automatically floated in front of his eyes, and continued to rotate up and down, left and right, while Venerable Fuyun watched intently.
After a while, he slowly asked: "This incense burner, what did you put in it to light it just now?"
"It's sandalwood incense. I bought it on the street before."
"Sandalwood incense? No wonder you can't discover its secret." Venerable Fuyun said matter-of-factly, "But the fact that you can detect it shows that your eyesight is good."
"Senior, you mean this incense burner is really a treasure?" Shi Jiu was excited.
Venerable Fuyun's words obviously affirmed the value of the incense burner, and also revealed that he knew how to open the incense burner.
"It's naturally a treasure to you. There should be a secret hidden in it." Venerable Fuyun nodded.
"Secret? What secret?" Shi Jiu became even more curious.
"Senior, you must know how to open this incense burner, right?"
"Of course, otherwise how could I let you call me senior?" Venerable Fuyun looked at him proudly.
"The method is very simple, just like what you did before, add something to the incense burner and burn it. Naturally, you have to burn things in the incense burner to make incense, otherwise why would it be called an incense burner?"
"But senior, I have burned a large piece of sandalwood incense before. Except for the fragrance, there is no other change." Shi Jiu asked puzzledly.
"That's because you are burning the wrong thing." Venerable Fuyun rolled his eyes at Shi Jiu, and then said: "Although the surface material of this incense burner is ordinary, there is a small mini formation engraved on the inside. The burning thing is If you can't activate the formation, you must use something full of spiritual energy.
"Something full of spiritual energy? It can't be a treasure of heaven and earth, right? Isn't the price a bit high?" Shi Jiu said in surprise.
Venerable Fuyun nodded: "If you want to know the secret of the incense burner, you must spend some money. There are not so many good things in the world that can be obtained for nothing. You have already missed this incense burner, do you still expect to know the secrets inside for no reason?"
"I do have treasures of heaven, materials and earth, but I can't bear to burn them."
There are several heaven and earth spiritual objects in this Sumeru space, such as the dark star gourd and the spirit saliva core, but it is absolutely impossible for Shi Jiu to burn them.
He didn't know how precious the secret in the incense burner was, but Shi Jiu knew how precious the Dark Star Gourd and Lingshu Heart Essence were. There was no way he would sacrifice these two treasures just to get the secret in the incense burner. In addition, the Dark Star Gourd He Lingshu's Heart Essence has been destined to be used by him to repair Cloud Shadow's Heart Gate, and it is even less likely to be used to burn it.
"Okay, let me think about whether there are any useless treasures that can be burned."
Shi Jiu looked around and looked at all the items suspended in the Xumi space one by one.
Basically, all his valuable treasures are here, such as Dark Star Gourd, Lingshu Heart Essence, Yu Xin Bead and so on.
Soon, a light yellow wooden box appeared in his field of vision.
"Yeah, why did I forget it!"
Shi Jiu patted his forehead, and then with a big move, the light yellow wooden box not far away floated over.
The wooden box is very simple, with faint textures on the light yellow surface. These textures are not artificially carved but formed naturally, and it exudes a light woody fragrance.
"This wooden box was actually made by Hou Tumu. You have a lot of treasures, little guy!"
Venerable Fuyun looked at the wooden box in Shi Jiu's hand and instantly saw its material.
"It is indeed a box made by Hou Tumu." Shi Jiu nodded and said, "Senior, I can use this box to burn it, right?"
The wooden box was obtained from the bandit leader of Blackwater City, and contained parchment containing the Black Mang Fist.
"Houtu Mu is a kind of innate sacred tree, so it is naturally feasible."
"Great, then the problem is solved."
Shi Jiu took out the parchment from the wooden box, then carefully cut out a piece of the wooden box, then put it into the incense burner, and then tried to light it with flint, but he tried many times without success, and he was so anxious that he was sweating. .
"Little guy, don't waste your efforts. Ordinary flints can't ignite the back earth wood at all. If the sacred tree can be ignited so easily, then it is not a sacred tree." Venerable Fuyun said with a smile.
"If I can't light it, then wouldn't I have done it in vain?"
"Okay, I have to take action myself!" Seeing Shi Jiu's anxious look, Venerable Fuyun stopped watching the show and said directly.
Hearing that Venerable Fuyun was willing to help, Shi Jiu immediately beamed and respectfully handed over the incense burner.
Venerable Fuyun still didn't answer, but let the incense burner float in mid-air. Then he pointed his right index finger, and a red light shined directly on the back wood of the incense burner.
After two sounds of "Bah, Bah", a pile of fire appeared on the backwood. The next moment, a special fragrance filled the entire Sumeru space, and the previous sandalwood fragrance disappeared completely.
"It smells so good. I feel like I can smell this fragrance in my soul."
Shi Jiu was a little intoxicated by the aroma of Hou Tu Mu and couldn't extricate himself.
"It's not surprising. For low-level monks, the fragrance of the sacred tree can indeed make people intoxicated." Venerable Fuyun said with a smile.
"But if you continue like this, you will miss the secret of the incense burner."
"Is the secret of the incense burner about to emerge?" Shi Jiu immediately opened his eyes from his intoxication and looked closely at the incense burner in mid-air.
Five minutes later, the silent incense burner suddenly turned red, and then a mini formation appeared in the incense burner. After the formation was stable, hundreds of red fonts floated out one after another.
"Soul forging method." Shi Jiu read the top line lightly.
"Little guy, you are in good luck. This is a method for training the power of the soul. Write it down quickly. These words will not last long." Venerable Fuyun said from the side.
In fact, without the other party having to say anything, Shi Jiu was already memorizing these hundreds of words.
As the backwood in the incense burner was burned away, hundreds of red fonts completely disappeared, and the incense burner returned to its original state.
Shi Jiu closed his eyes and silently understood the scriptures of the soul forging method in his heart.
Venerable Fuyun beside him did not make a sound and stayed quietly beside him.
Half an hour later, Shi Jiu opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"How is it? Is this soul forging method good?" Venerable Fuyun asked with a smile.
"It's not just good, it's simply great. It's very suitable for me now." Shi Jiu nodded vigorously.
Because he had carefully memorized the entire soul-forging scriptures, Shi Jiu had a preliminary understanding of the scriptures.
This is a soul-breaking scripture for monks in the soul realm. It is especially suitable for those who are born with strong soul power. Shi Jiu fully meets these two points, and it is almost tailor-made for him.
