The Kirin Immortal Medicine Seed

He gave it no further thought. After all, he could not take the initiative to gamble with others, so he soon began cutting the stone.

As the stone casing fell away, a blaze of purple divine light shot into the sky, and astonishing spiritual energy spilled out in every direction.

Beneath the casing was a piece of divine source the size of a bowl's mouth, but the divine source, which should have been golden, gleamed purple under the influence of the Kirin Immortal Medicine seed.

The seed, still sealed within the divine source, resembled a purple sun, continuously radiating light. Everyone present could sense a sacred aura capable of sweeping away evil and cleansing both soul and flesh.

Life brimmed over, and all things surged toward growth.

Everyone was stunned by the sight before them and peered at the divine source, hoping to see what lay inside.

The purple divine light gradually receded, revealing what was within.

"A qilin! It's a qilin!"

"There's actually a qilin inside the divine source? How could such a creature exist in this world?"

"Legends place qilin alongside true dragons and True Immortals, but neither true dragons nor True Immortals exist in this world anymore. Could there really be a qilin?"

The Heaven-Class Stone Garden erupted into an uproar as everyone stared feverishly at the tiny purple qilin inside the divine source.

The face of the man in charge of the Yaoguang Holy Land's Heaven-Class Stone Garden nearly turned green!

The Purple Qilin had a dragon's head, antlers, a lion's eyes, and a celestial diagram on its back. Smaller than a fist, it possessed unparalleled vitality and was independently drawing in the essence of the sun and moon. The spiritual energy it stirred surged like a fathomless sea, continuously cleansing those nearby.

The tiny purple qilin kept drawing upon the essence of heaven and earth. Even through the divine source, it could summon endless spiritual energy.

The Qilin Divine Medicine seed really can help me cultivate! The imbalance in my Dao Palace can be resolved! Holding the divine source, Jiang Zhu carefully sensed its workings.

A perfected spleen divine treasury could connect with heaven and earth and draw in their essence, but it amounted to little before the Qilin Divine Medicine seed.

The spiritual vitality of heaven and earth that the seed drew in and released with each breath was simply boundless. With such a seed on his person, he would have nothing to fear from an imbalanced Dao Palace!

"I know what it is! It's a Kirin Immortal Medicine seed!" Someone in the crowd recognized it. After all, the bystanders were so widely knowledgeable that nothing could escape their recognition!

"There are no true dragons or qilin in this world. Legend says divine medicines can undergo nirvana on their own. This must be the seed left after the Kirin Immortal Medicine underwent nirvana!"

The moment the bystander spoke, everyone present grew feverish.

"Young friend, you look very young and have no need for this divine medicine. Why not sell it to me? I will certainly offer a price that satisfies you!" a white-haired old cultivator said.

"Exactly. Young friend, why not auction it here and let the highest bidder have it?" said another old cultivator whose lifespan was nearly exhausted.

"I agree!"

"..."

That was a Kirin Immortal Medicine seed. An Immortal Medicine could grant a Great Emperor another lifetime as emperor, so its seed could easily extend their lives.

The old cultivators present all wanted to spend their coffin money to buy the seed. They had money, but seldom bought raw stones. Buying treasures cut from those stones, however, was another matter.

This was especially true when the seller was young. Life-extending treasures were of little use to the young, who generally sold them for cultivation resources. That was when old cultivators would dig into their coffin money to buy them.

The elders spoke up one after another, and many who had heard the news and hurried over from elsewhere also wanted to buy it.

Quite a few holy lands rushed over upon hearing the news as well.

But how could Jiang Zhu possibly sell it? This concerned his path of cultivation. No matter how high the offer, he would not sell.

Unless they threw in Huo Lin'er!

After all, I do have my eye on the Qilin Treasure Art!

"This seed is not for sale!" Jiang Zhu said, putting away the divine source and making to leave.

Those present grew anxious and spoke up to keep him there.

"Young friend, you're so young that you shouldn't need a life-extending divine medicine like this. Why not sell it to our Wanchu Holy Land? We will certainly offer you a satisfactory price!"

"That's right, young friend, I..."

"Young man, you'd best look out for yourself. The Northern Region is full of bandits. Sometimes, living long enough to cut out a treasure doesn't mean you'll live long enough to spend it!"

Once one holy land took the lead, people from the other Holy Land Families and Immortal Dynasties spoke up as well.

Which Holy Land Family lacked elders among its hidden reserves who needed their lives extended? Buying this divine medicine seed would secure several thousand more years of protection. Under such circumstances, what major power could remain unmoved?!

Quite a few people from the holy lands even laced their words with threats, trying to force Jiang Zhu to sell the divine medicine seed.

Jiang Zhu ignored them and continued walking out, letting their words pass like wind by his ears. Fighting was forbidden in the Sacred City, after all. That was an ironclad rule!

The major powers had made that rule themselves, so they could hardly lead the way in breaking it.

Everyone in the Heaven-Class Stone Garden sighed and wrung their hands in regret. Quite a few also memorized Jiang Zhu's appearance and aura, waiting for him to leave the Sacred City.

A minor Dao Palace Realm cultivator carrying an Immortal Medicine seed was no different from a child carrying a fortune through a bustling marketplace. Few of those present were not tempted.

Jiang Zhu paid their thoughts no heed. In this era, when the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Dao had yet to dissipate completely and Saints did not emerge, he carried a Flawless Great Saint Weapon and could also wield dragon power. He could swagger unhindered through the oasis around the Sacred City.

Surely no Extreme Dao Faction would deploy an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon for an Immortal Medicine seed?

If that happened, he would have no choice but to return to his original appearance!

Still, Jiang Zhu remembered the holy lands whose words had carried veiled threats.

A gentleman could wait ten years for revenge; Jiang Zhu took his revenge from morning till night!

Since he was already here and had achieved his main objective, he might as well visit the stone workshops of the holy lands that had threatened him and collect a little interest first!

Jiang Zhu first went to the Wanchu Holy Land's Heaven-Class Stone Garden. Spending over two hundred thousand jin of ordinary source, he swept up every stone containing treasure in its heaven-class section.

He cut out two pieces of divine source, one the size of a human head and the other the size of a fist, both glittering gold, along with several Treasure Medicines...

The people of the Wanchu Holy Land felt their hearts bleed, and their secret hatred only deepened. Thinking of the treasures Jiang Zhu carried made them want even more to kill him and seize his wealth.

Next, Jiang Zhu visited the stone workshops of those holy lands in turn and reaped a rich harvest. He now had around ten pieces of divine source at least as large as a fist. As for the life-extending treasures, he sold them all to the old cultivators.

As Jiang Zhu continued his retaliation, winds rose and clouds surged within the Sacred City. His eye for selecting stones was unerring, and every stone he chose yielded a treasure. The holy lands he visited ached at their losses while wondering, Could that damned Source Heavenly Master's successor have appeared again?

Let him enjoy himself for a while. Later, we'll make him spit out everything he swallowed-and hand over the Source Heaven Book too!

After this small bout of revenge, Jiang Zhu arrived before the Dao Yi Holy Land's stone workshop.

He stood at the entrance, and the dense crowd of old cultivators nearing the end of their lives stopped behind him.

At first, a few old cultivators had followed him and bought life-extending treasures. Later, the more holy land stone workshops he swept through, the more old cultivators gathered behind him!

"Young friend, are you going inside to cut stones?"

The group of old men behind him looked at Jiang Zhu expectantly, hoping he could cut out some life-extending treasures.

Jiang Zhu knew there was also an incomplete Immortal Medicine in the Dao Yi Stone Workshop, but that was not his main target.
