As long as it is dry ambergris, it can be burned directly by the fire Yes, 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 Cary turned into powder, but this ambergris can still be preserved intact. The incense has become a fossil!”
“It has become a fossil?!”
Charlie exclaimed, stepped forward, and asked, “Can you be sure this thing is really a fossil?”
Dan handed the piece to Charlie and explained: “You see, Master Wade, this thing is now extremely hard and dense, and it is no longer waxy, more like a stone.
It’s not that the texture is relatively special, and I don’t necessarily recognize it as ambergris.”
Charlie asked curiously: “Have you ever found a fossil of Ambergris before?”
Dan hurriedly said: “There are some, but they are abroad, and they were bought by mysterious people at extremely high prices as soon as they came out.
Charlie asked him: “Do you have any research on Ambergris?”
Dan 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 knowledge of the Book of Changes, it is very useful and of great help, so most feng shui masters are very fond of ambergris.
Even if you have no money, you must buy some incense containing ambergris. I usually prepare some, so I just did some research.”
After speaking, Dan said again: “Most of the ambergris on the market are obtained by killing sperm-whales in the deep sea, but the ambergris obtained by these two methods will not take too long.”
After a pause, Dan continued: “It is said that some masters in the past needed Ambergris as old as 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, the sperm whales sank to the bottom of the sea after death, forming a whale fall.
After the bones were eaten by the creatures on the bottom, the ambergris would stay on the bottom of the sea, buried in the sand.”
“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 haystack, so almost no one can do it.
The ambergris fossil found before is said to be due to geological movement.
It was melted into the rock layer tens of thousands of years ago, and it did not reappear until a few years ago.”
Charlie was overjoyed. If this piece of Ambergris can really reach the level of a fossil, it must have a history of at least tens of thousands of years.
In this way, this thing may really meet the needs of refining the pill of cultivation!
