Cultivation small day

Chapter 764 Lack of interest
The incense tasting meeting officially started at nine o'clock, and it was less than half an hour before the start. More than a dozen people in the quiet room were whispering and talking softly.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that you bought a set of strange spirit agarwood. Is it really as magical as the legend?" One person asked another person beside him.

"Mr. Zhao, I can only say that Qiling Chenxiang is even more miraculous than the legends. If Mr. Pi hadn't restricted every auction, I can only buy three grams. I must invite Mr. Zhao to come and taste it. Alas, unfortunately, only Three grams, I ordered it all at once, and now I think it’s too extravagant, but if you can taste the fragrance of strange spirit agarwood, it’s worth 500 million.” The person known as Mr. Wang replied.

At this time, a few more people gathered around the two of them, and one of them, an old man with a gray beard, said, "Mr. Wang, you should have bought Qiling Chenxiang a few months ago, and now a set of three grams of Qiling Chenxiang is priced at 600 million, and there is a price but no market, many people can't buy it with money!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, several other people felt the same way, and couldn't help but yelled a little, talking about Pi Shouxin's too good calculations.

At the beginning, Kuangji sold Pishouxin Qiling Agarwood to Pishouxin at a price of one million yuan per gram, but later raised the price a little, to 5000 million yuan per 500 grams.At the beginning, Pi Shouxin was sold in groups of three grams, and the price was 600 million. Since Kuang Ji raised the price, he also mentioned a group of [-] million.

If this is the case, no one will say that he is too good at calculating. Pi Shouxin gets [-] grams of Qi Ling sinking every month, but he still sells [-] grams, and most of the people he sells are people he wants to make friends with. However, the remaining [-] grams were auctioned, and the price was almost sky-high, which made many people who were not rich could only sigh in admiration.

Most of the people who can afford agarwood are rich people, and those who can afford Qiling agarwood are even richer. Pi Shouxin not only strengthened the relationship with old friends by using Qiling agarwood, but also made many new friends. Otherwise, his fame would not have spread in Haishang's fragrance industry, and he would not have been favored by a few fragrance Taoists, so he would hold the fragrance tasting meeting here.

Although everyone was talking quietly, the quiet room was not very big. Not only Kuang Ji and the two women could hear clearly, but Pi Shouxin in the crowd could also hear what they were talking about. But business is business after all, and he didn't think he There is nothing wrong with doing it.

Just seeing Kuang Ji's thoughtful expression, he was afraid that Kuang Ji would raise the price of Qiling Chenxiang again, or give others the exclusive right of Qiling Chenxiang.Thinking of these, Kuang Ji's weight in his heart became heavier and heavier.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and Kuang Ji listened carefully, but he still couldn't get any useful information, and then he lost interest.

At this moment, an old man came in from the quiet room, followed by a young woman about 20 years old, dressed in elegant Hanfu, walking gracefully, instantly quieting everyone in the venue.

The old man who came in was a leading figure in the world of Haishang Fragrances and an important organizer of previous fragrance tasting meetings. He just said a few words after he came in, arranged the young woman in front of the incense stand in the center of the quiet room, and then left He went to his seat and sat down.

At this moment, the time is approaching nine o'clock, and some incense friends who have participated in the incense tasting meeting are sitting upright and slowly closing their eyes.Some are participating for the first time, but they also know that before the incense tasting meeting, they should calm their minds and discard distracting thoughts, so they also take a deep breath, close their eyes, and wait for the agarwood to be lit.

Kuang Ji and the two women were talking in low voices, and when they saw this, they also stopped.However, they didn't close their eyes and rest their minds, but were a little bored watching the young woman's preparations before making incense.

From the conversation with the two women just now, we know that the culture of tasting incense has a long history. Although it has gradually declined in modern times, with the continuous development of China's economy, tasting incense has gradually been valued by some people.

The ancient culture of tasting incense was mostly popular among literati and scholars. Gathering with three or five friends, sitting cross-legged in front of a desk, quietly tasting incense and tea, has unexpected effects on relaxing the mind, opening up wisdom, and experiencing the natural unity of people and the surrounding environment. Effect.

However, with the changes of the times, especially the development of the incense culture to modern times, the culture of the incense has also undergone earth-shaking changes.Not to mention the effects of tasting incense, but the various tools that appear in tasting incense are not comparable to those in ancient times.

In ancient times, there were at most incense burners, knives and saws, incense boxes, incense charcoal, etc., but in modern times, in addition to these things, incense cutters, incense jars, incense tubes, incense ashes, incense chopsticks and other tools appeared, which can be described as dazzling , making people overwhelmed.If you are not a true incense Taoist, or someone who loves incense culture, even if you put the tools in front of you, you may not be able to name all the tools.

The reason why Kuang Ji was interested in incense culture at the beginning was that besides owning the strange spirit of agarwood, he also wanted to use the culture of incense to cleanse the soul, so as to make practice easier.But now he not only has a better mutated agarwood, but also has enlightenment tea and enlightenment stone, so he is more and more interested in incense tasting activities such as the incense tasting meeting.

If he hadn't promised Pi Shouxin a long time ago that he would come to watch the incense tasting meeting, Kuang Ji might have found an excuse to shirk it.

Seeing the skillful movements of the young woman in the middle of the field, although it looks like a spring breeze, Kuang Ji hopes that the tasting will start earlier.Rather than staying like this, it's better to experience the real fragrance meeting, and it won't be awkward to leave early.

As time passed by, the quiet room became more and more quiet. Everyone's breathing sounded one after another, faintly lingering in the air. In addition, the occasional crashing sound of incense tasting tools reminded everyone that the incense tasting activity is about to begin. is about to start.

"when······"

There was a crisp metal impact, and everyone woke up from their meditation. They watched the young woman's movements, and all of them became concentrated.

The young woman took out a piece of strange spirit agarwood from the incense box, scraped off a little powder from it with a small blade and put it aside, then placed the incense burner in front of her eyes, and put the incense ash that she had prepared earlier into it.

The last time Kuang Ji saw Pi Shouxin lighting incense, he lit it directly without any other preparations. Now, seeing the movements of the young woman, although it is tedious, there is a sense of natural beauty, and he can't help being a little interested in the next process .

Next, the young woman burns charcoal, inserts charcoal, places spacers, sets incense, and clears the furnace in one go. After a while, silky white smoke mixed with purple light rises, forming a lotus-shaped smoke above the incense burner. gas.

Kuang Ji had known for a long time that the incense burner would produce such an effect, so he was not at all surprised, but others did not know that when they saw the dreamlike misty lotus, they inhaled the fragrance deeply, and showed shock on their faces color.The two women were also shocked at first, but after scanning the censer with their spiritual sense and seeing the structure inside, they finally understood that it was the censer, not the strange spirit aloes.

Qiling Chenxiang is indeed a kind of agarwood produced by spiritual liquid water. It emits a long-lasting and mellow fragrance. Even people who have experienced it before are addicted to it again. Those who experience Qiling Chenxiang for the first time are even more addicted to it. .

Kuang Ji didn't pay attention to the fragrance of Qiling Agarwood, but stared blankly at the tools for tasting incense on the central incense stand.
