So for only 100,000, but he refused it without hesitation
He alrab the shi+ny Xuande Censer and held it in his ar at these enthusiastic onlookers around hi went towards Qian Duoduo and whispered with a little embarrassment, “Bro, what’s Xuande Censer?”
He did have more than 500 years of experience, and he had seen all kinds of treasures, but those were treasures of the Cultivation World He knew little about the cultural heritage on earth, and he knew much less about Xuande Censer
“LetThen he said, “The E Dynasty asked his royal craftsn and build a batch of censers based on the famous china simples fro Kiln hidden in the palace”
“To ensure the quality of the censers The craftsold and silver and forged them with red copper more than ten times The finished products looked shi+ny and translucent They were craft treasures There was a long period in history when all bronze censers were called Xuande censer”
“However, there were only 3,000 censers in total that had been forged during the third year of Xuande period No censer has produced ever since All of them were hidden in the forbidden palace Most people have heard about their stories while few had seen theed during the third year of Xuande period are rarely seen”

“30 million, ”
“I envy hio and smash a few iron censers later, and see if there’s any Xuande Censer hidden inside”
“It’s OK You can take it if you like It’s no use if I keep it”
