Although everyone knew that the Wang Family had something to say at this Source-Tasting Banquet.
And a battle across the sky had taken place in Desert Sand Territory some time ago, something all the factions took quite seriously.
Still, the event was billed as a Source-Tasting Banquet, so after the guests arrived, many did indeed appraise the Origin Stones the Wang Family had displayed as they chatted and exchanged pleasantries.
Often, a Source-Tasting Banquet was an all-purpose pretext for major factions and families to hold a gathering. Many alliances, trade deals, and agreements were settled at banquets like these.
For that very reason, the ability to appraise Origin Stones was practically a fundamental skill for representatives qualified to attend such gatherings.
Now, as guests of the Wang Family, the various factions all offered praise for these Origin Stones.
"This Goddess Splitting the Mountain is among the finest Origin Stones in the entire Southern Wilderness, even the entire Imperial Realm. Rumor has it that Great Emperor Xingxiu brought it out of Deathless Valley himself back then. It might have come from the core. That outer stone casing is truly one of a kind."
"Indeed. I've seen this Origin Stone three times, and each time, it's given me a different feeling."
"If they weren't worried about taboos from deep within the forbidden land lurking inside, the Wang Family would probably have cut it open long ago."
"Most of the other Origin Stones also came from deep within the various forbidden lands. Ordinary treasure hunters couldn't have brought them out."

Often, trading Origin Stones like these was simply a way to support one another.
