"This spirit root has the effect of nourishing the divine soul and purifying the mind, and it is as hard as the nine divine golds. So if any fellow Daoist manages to obtain it at auction, they could try to cultivate it further or refine it into a magical treasure, and it even has the potential to be refined into a spirit treasure."
True Master Shu Tong paused here and said, "But of course, such a treasure would not simply appear here."
"The reason the owner of this treasure has brought it for auction is that it has a flaw; this spirit root has been partially polluted by demonic qi..."
As he spoke, True Master Shu Tong lifted the brocade covering the tray, revealing what lay beneath.
It was a bamboo about five feet long, lush and green, with leaves that were yellow-green, exuding a faint vitality.
