The female Heavenly Prides present, including the Myriad Beginning Saintess, the Dao Yi Saintess, and the Purple Mansion Saintess, could no longer quite keep their composure.
Their eyes lit up, burning with excitement as they stared at the uncut stone, unable to look away.
What woman did not love beauty? Who could resist the temptation of unchanging youth and an ageless face?
"Senior Feng, this stone contains an Immortal Flower of Eternal Youth, so I don't intend to cut it open..."
Taiyi remained composed.
He looked at the Feng Clan's Holy Lord and said with a smile, "Once it's cut open, it might be impossible to preserve, so I'd like to take it away as it is. Could you make an exception?"
The stone workshops throughout the Holy City had long had a rule.
Stones in their Heaven-Class Stone Gardens could not be taken away; they had to be cut open on the spot.
Thus, whether he could take this stone away depended on whether the other party was willing to do him the courtesy.
"If it were anyone else, that would certainly be out of the question..." Without hesitation, the Feng Clan's Holy Lord said with a smile, "But for you, young friend, of course!"
An Immortal Flower of Eternal Youth.
For women, it naturally held an incomparable allure.
But to the Feng Clan, its actual value might not even match a fist-sized piece of Divine Source.
If they could do him a favor and befriend a Heavenly Pride of limitless potential like the Eastern Emperor, why not?
"Then thank you, Holy Lord!"
Taiyi smiled.
Then he put the stone away.
With Yao Xi, Weiwei, An Miaoyi, and the others, he smilingly took his leave.
Before leaving, he smiled and transmitted his voice to the Feng Clan's Holy Lord.
