Phoenix Ancient Stone! A Phoenix Egg Emerges!

Stone Appraisal Meet.

Then a prodigy from the God Race Tianjiao arrived.

It instantly attracted countless eyes.

This Stone Appraisal Meet can be described as a gathering of the most outstanding talents. It's not that all these divine race cultivators are necessarily stone appraisal masters, but rather that these God Race Tianjiao are all incredibly wealthy and powerful.

The immortal stones purchased are probably at least top-grade immortal stones. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, so naturally, some rare treasures will definitely appear.

The appearance of the God Race Tianjiao caused a disturbance.

Lu Changsheng and the others also looked over.

At the Stone Appraisal Meet, seven or eight God Race Tianjiao walked side by side, including Ancient Tianpeng, Tai A Yueyao, and even Dou Yuan Ling Feng.

"The Changsheng Demon Lord, it's been a long time."

At that moment, Dou Yuan Ling Feng's voice rang out. He immediately looked at Lu Changsheng, his expression filled with confidence and arrogance.

"It has indeed been a long time."

For some reason, after seeing Dou Yuan Ling Feng's appearance, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel that something good was about to happen at today's Stone Appraisal Meet.

The onlookers dared not speak out of turn; neither Lu Changsheng nor Dou Yuan Ling Feng dared to utter a word.

But just then, Feng Shaoyu's voice appeared.

"Moonlight? You're here too?"

Feng Shaoyu's voice rang out as he stared at Yue Yao, his expression seemingly hostile.

"Oh, I didn't expect Feng Shaoyu to be here too. What bad luck."

Tai A Yueyao's voice rang out, slightly sarcastic.

"Ha! Since you're here too, let's settle this with our stone-appraisal skills today!"

Feng Shaoyu spoke, seemingly harboring great resentment towards Yueyao.

But Yueyao scoffed and said, "I'm afraid you can't afford to lose!"

The two seemed to have had a conflict before, so their meeting was like a battle of wits.

"Alright, let's not waste our time arguing in a place like this. The real immortal stones are in the Holy Land Stone Workshop. What's the point of wasting time here?"

One of the God Race Tianjiao spoke up, saying that it was a waste of time to stay here, and urged everyone to go inside.

"Good!"

The God Race Tianjiao nodded in agreement and then left, heading deeper inside.

Lu Changsheng and the others exchanged glances, unsure whether to follow.

"No rush, let's get familiar with the outside world first."

Lu Changsheng didn't hold a grudge against them; instead, he planned to continue looking around outside the stone archway.

Everyone nodded but said nothing, continuing to appraise the stones outside the stone archway.

"Who is this Yueyao? You seem to have a grudge against him?"

Tianji Zi asked Feng Shaoyu with some curiosity, unable to resist asking.

Feng Shaoyu, however, said casually, "He is also a stone appraiser. A year ago, we both had our eyes on an ancient stone. In the end, he snatched the stone and cut out a treasure, which is how we became enemies."

Feng Shaoyu said this.

"That person's character is flawed, but that's fate, there's nothing we can do about it. What's yours is yours, and what's not yours isn't yours."

Tianji Zi offered a word of comfort.

However, Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said, "The treasure he cut out wasn't anything very valuable; he actually lost quite a bit of money."

Feng Shaoyu said this.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

He also took a fancy to an ancient stone, bought it, and even lost a lot of money. What are you angry about?

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Feng Shaoyu said nonchalantly, "He stole my ancient stone. Although he lost out, that doesn't stop me from disliking him."

Feng Shaoyu said very seriously.

Everyone immediately understood; it seemed he was another narrow-minded person.

"Fellow Daoists, let's go inside. Although there are many treasures hidden outside, they certainly can't compare to the treasures in those large stone workshops. Let's not let those gods get away with it. Let's go!"

Feng Shaoyu led the group inside.

And so, no one said anything, and they continued on their way.

Along the way, everyone participated to varying degrees. Even Ye Rujin bought an ancient stone and, with some luck, made a profit.

Seeing that everyone had earned a lot of immortal stones, Tianji Zi couldn't hold back any longer and finally pulled Feng Shaoyu aside.

"Feng Shaoyu, I won't lie to you. I only have 500,000 low-grade immortal stones. You help me pick out an ancient stone, and we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

Tianji Zi simply couldn't resist this temptation.

Along the way, Golden Crow Crown Prince, Ye Rujin, Li Shanshi and others all made a lot of money, but Golden Crow Crown Prince made the most money. It would be impossible for Tianji Zi not to be tempted.

These ancient stones are worth millions or tens of millions. He does have a lot of immortal stones, but those are his life savings, and he can't bear to spend them. If he couldn't resist, he wouldn't even spend 500,000 low-grade immortal stones.

"Five hundred thousand?" Feng Shaoyu frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to pay any attention to it at all, but he hadn't had a chance to show off. Thinking of this, Feng Shaoyu didn't waste any more words and directly accepted five hundred thousand low-grade immortal Treasure Note from Tianji Zi. Then he carefully observed the surrounding stalls.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are many ways to appraise stones. First, you need to look at them; second, you need to touch them; and third, you need to select them. Looking at them means examining the patterns on them. Look at these ancient stones; they don't look like anything special. Touching them is a much more advanced skill. You can't even get started without practicing for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

"Shopkeeper, this is the one! I'll take it!"

Feng Shaoyu explained stone appraisal to everyone, but as he was talking, he soon took a fancy to an oval-shaped ancient stone.

Priced at 500,000 low-grade immortal stones.

Feng Shaoyu didn't waste any words and directly asked the stall owner to cut it on the spot.

"Will this one work? Shouldn't we take a closer look?"

Tianji Zi said with some unease.

Feng Shaoyu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just wait to collect the immortal stones. Remember, it's a 50/50 split."

Feng Shaoyu said with absolute certainty.

Tianji Zi was extremely excited, his eyes shining.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng, the Golden Crow Crown Prince, Supreme Mysterious, Ye Rujin, and others were also paying close attention.

They really wanted to see if Feng Shaoyu could cut out anything good.

The ancient stone was quickly cut open.

Click.

The first cut yielded nothing.

Click!

The second cut yielded nothing.

Click!

With the third cut, the ancient stone was completely cleaved open, leaving nothing behind.

For a moment, Tianji Zi was stunned, while Feng Shaoyu was slightly taken aback, but he quickly nodded.

"As expected, judging stones still depends on luck. Even someone as skilled as me can sometimes make a mistake."

He muttered to himself, then patted Tianji Zi on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad. Just consider this a test. Don't worry, you'll definitely win the next one!"

Feng Shaoyu said confidently.

"I kill you!"

Tianji Zi came to his senses, then roared and pounced on Feng Shaoyu.

Five hundred thousand low-grade immortal stones—for him, that was more painful than having a piece of his flesh cut off.

Just then, a phoenix cry rang out, startling the entire ancient city.

About fifty miles to the southeast, in the sky, a fiery red phoenix phantom soared into the heavens. Although it was a phantom, it was lifelike, just like a real phoenix, raising its head to sing and surrounded by various strange phenomena and auspicious omens.

"The shipment has been completed!"

"We found something good! Let's go check it out!"

"This is the Holy Land Stone Workshop, everyone go and take a look!"

"I didn't expect that someone would cut out such a divine object so early in the Stone Appraisal Meet! Let's go take a look."

"Did they cut out a living phoenix?"

"Hiss! Come and see! The people of the gods have cut out a Phoenix Egg."

As voices rang out, the Stone Appraisal Meet erupted in a frenzy. Countless cultivators rushed towards the nearby area like madmen, each one more anxious than the last, running at an extremely fast speed.

"Phoenix Egg? This is the egg of a divine beast! Is the luck of the gods really that good?"

Feng Shaoyu also showed surprise, and then headed directly southeast.

"You bastard, don't run away!"

Tianji Zi chased after him directly, not caring about Phoenix Egg anything like that; he wanted to seek compensation from Feng Shaoyu for 500,000 low-grade immortal stones.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

Lu Changsheng also became curious. He walked towards the southeast, Ye Rujin, Supreme Mysterious, and the Golden Crow Crown Prince followed.

Thus, the crowd became agitated, and everyone headed towards the stone archway. Even some stall owners stopped setting up their stalls and simply took away the ancient stones, heading towards the stone archway.

In an instant, the surroundings became extremely deserted, with only one figure standing there, appearing somewhat aloof.

"Is anyone there? Mu Zhi? Fellow Daoists, where are you? Are you appraising stones? Do you need my help?"

Where are they?

"Say something?"

"Mu Zhi!"

Beidou Jiantian's voice rang out, and he seemed somewhat bewildered.

Azure Moon Ancient Workshop.

This is the sacred ancient workshop. The workshop is decorated with carved beams and painted walls, exuding unparalleled luxury. Two white jade lions are placed at the entrance, highlighting the nobility of Azure Moon Ancient Workshop.

Moreover, Azure Moon Ancient Workshop is not a place that just anyone can enter. You must have a certain status and spending power. In other words, only important people can enter. Whether you buy or not is up to you, but if you can't afford it, don't bother coming.

At this moment, the area outside Azure Moon Ancient Workshop was already packed with people, and above the workshop, a red phoenix soared into the sky, radiating rays of light, looking quite extraordinary.

"This is Phoenix Egg that has been cut out!"

"Phoenix Egg? I think it's a real phoenix that was cut out?"

"Can someone go in and see what they cut out?"

"Tsk tsk, even if it's not a real phoenix cut out, this kind of extraordinary phenomenon alone is a supreme divine object."

"I wonder who cut out such a treasure. I'm so envious."

Outside the stone archway, countless cultivators were discussing among themselves, their eyes filled with envy.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng and his group appeared. Although the place was already crowded with Lu Changsheng, many cultivators still made way for Lu Changsheng after he appeared.

"Heavenly Emperor Lu is here! Heavenly Emperor Lu is here! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

When someone saw Lu Changsheng arrive in person, they shouted loudly, causing the crowd to spontaneously make way for him.

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor Lu!"

"We have met Heavenly Emperor Lu!"

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, the cultivators all spoke, showing him utmost respect.

"Welcome, Heavenly Emperor. I am Zhou Zheng, the owner of Qing Yue Stone Workshop."

The owner of Qing Yue Stone Workshop also rushed out immediately and respectfully ushered Lu Changsheng inside.

This is the benefit of fame and ability.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Lu Changsheng arrived at Qing Yue Stone Workshop.

"What did they cut out? How did it cause such a commotion?"

Feng Shaoyu quickly spoke up. He was a little disheveled because of what Tianji Zi had done to him.

"The strange phenomenon was caused by Tai A Yueyao of the Divine Race cutting out a Phoenix Egg."

Zhou Zheng began to explain, informing everyone.

"This bastard actually cut out a Phoenix Egg?"

Feng Shaoyu was stunned, then his eyes were filled with jealousy.

"Uh..." Zhou Zheng didn't know how to answer. Feng Shaoyu could call Tai A Yueyao a dog, but he couldn't respond. He could only bite the bullet and say, "It's mainly because Venerable Tai A Yueyao dared to place such a heavy bet. That Phoenix Ancient Stone is quite valuable, so it's not surprising that a Phoenix Egg was cut out from it."

Zhou Zheng said this.

The group walked along a corridor, with the actual stone archway still inside, so they listened attentively to Zhou Zheng's explanation.

"Oh? Phoenix Ancient Stone? Are you talking about that ancient stone?" Feng Shaoyu was immediately surprised.

"Yes!" Zhou Zheng nodded.

"You're really willing to spend that much? I remember that Phoenix Ancient Stone requires three complete Immortal King Life-Sustaining Herbs before you'll sell it, right?"

Feng Shaoyu said this.

"Yes, three Immortal King Life-Sustaining Herbs."

Zhou Zheng replied.

Some ancient stones, once they reach a certain level, are no longer exchanged for immortal stones, but rather used for barter.

"A Phoenix Egg, what a steal! Damn it, why wasn't it me?!"

Feng Shaoyu clenched his fists, his eyes welling up with tears from the soreness.

"With your skills, don't embarrass yourself."

Tianji Zi said irritably. He had just lost 500,000 low-grade immortal stones, and his heart was breaking. Although Feng Shaoyu had agreed to cover half of it, Tianji Zi was still unhappy, so he seized the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark.

"I'm telling you, aren't you being too stingy? It's just 500,000 low-grade immortal stones, is it really worth it? And don't you even think about it, what kind of treasure do you expect to cut out with 500,000 low-grade immortal stones?"

Feng Shaoyu said with a hint of helplessness.

However, Zhou Zheng spoke up.

"Actually, although a Phoenix Egg was cut out, it had already been petrified."

A sound rang out.

Everyone was slightly surprised.

Petrified?

"You're saying the Phoenix Egg that Tai A Yueyao cut out has already petrified?"

Feng Shaoyu said excitedly.

"Yes, it has been petrified. Otherwise, if it were truly a Phoenix Egg, its value would probably be even greater than ten Immortal Emperor Medicine."

Zhou Zheng said this.

"How much is that petrified Phoenix Egg worth?"

Tianji Zi couldn't help but ask.

"A life-extending herb from an Immortal King."

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment before giving this answer.

In an instant, Feng Shaoyu's loud laughter rang out.

"An Immortal King's Life-Extending Medicine? Hahahaha, serves him right, serves him right!"

Feng Shaoyu laughed loudly. It seemed that he really had a great grudge against Tai A Yueyao, otherwise he wouldn't be so agitated.

And it was at this moment.

Finally, the group arrived at the actual stone archway.

In the middle of a plain.

Thirty or forty extremely unique ancient stones stand tall on the plain. Each stone is suppressed by an array and even has some ancient talismans pasted on it, making it seem extraordinary.

The God Race Tianjiao also stood not far away.

As soon as Lu Changsheng and the others appeared, pairs of eyes turned to them.
