Chapter 198 Immortal Exquisite
At this moment, most of the cultivators inside the Ji Family Stone Workshop put down the Source Stone in their hands and spontaneously followed behind Su Yu, wanting to catch a glimpse of the immortal treasures.
Upon learning of Cao Yusheng's appearance, many people in the Holy City rushed to this place, causing the Ji Family Stone Workshop to be overcrowded.
The Supreme Elder of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land, the former Emperor of the Central Province Dynasty, the Sect Master of the Northern Region Great Sect, and the successor of the Ancient Source Arts Family all gathered together.
The Ji Family Stone Workshop spans a vast area, including a lake that is as blue as crystal, brimming with spiritual energy, and is exceptionally beautiful.
In the middle of the pale blue lake lies a small island, no more than a few hundred meters in circumference. Fallen petals adorn the trees, creating a shower of glistening, fragrant blossoms that ripple across the lake's surface.
The small island in the lake is the Ji Family's Heaven-Class Stone Garden, so beautiful it's like a Divine Land, almost like a dream.
The island is only a few hundred meters in circumference, covered with groves of flowering trees, many of which are ancient trees thousands of years old, as vigorous as dragons, their petals fluttering and sparkling, filling the air with fragrance.
The stone garden is meticulously arranged, with gurgling springs, scattered strange rocks, and natural scenery, all accompanied by flowers and trees.
Seeing that Ji Tianyao was personally leading the way, everyone knew that Cao Yusheng had arrived, and they all stepped aside to make way for him.
The lake is pale blue, clear and bright, with lush vegetation along its banks and pavilions dotting the landscape, creating a beautiful scene.
At this moment, there were many figures scattered Heaven-Class Stone Garden. They were all elderly people with little time left to live, hoping to cut out a precious herb that could prolong their lives. Moreover, many of them were familiar faces.
" Heavenly Master Cao!"
Upon seeing Su Yu enter the stone garden, many elderly people took the initiative to step forward, hoping to win him over.
Things are different now. Su Yu has now entered the Immortal Platform Second Heaven and can roam freely in the Holy City. He spoke calmly and composedly, and after exchanging pleasantries with the others, he said no more. His eyes flashed and shot out two beams of purple light swirling with Chaos energy.
"This is the Source Heaven Divine Eyes? And it has even refined two strands of Chaos Qi!"
"Fellow Daoist Cao's last Source Heaven Divine Sense was not surrounded by Chaos energy; it was probably a phenomenon that occurred after a great advancement in Source Arts."
"That makes sense. It's laughable that the Tuoba Family would want to be enemies with Heavenly Master Cao. How unwise!"
" The Tuoba Family has been blinded by greed for the Source Heaven Book. Just wait and see, there's going to be a good show today."
All the elders were shocked. The Eye of Truth and the Origin of Heaven's wondrous arts—this Heavenly Master Cao used such methods from the very beginning. They wondered what kind of treasure he was going to cut out.
As soon as the Chaos Heavenly Eye appeared, the place instantly transformed into a fairyland, and the two strange stones closest to Su Yu emitted strange fluctuations.
A Dragon Head Stone trembled slightly, its light flowing and bursting forth with shadows. Within the pale golden divine light, a dragon's shadow swayed its head and tail, constantly moving about. In the distance, a terrifying dragon's might burst forth, leaving everyone speechless.
The spiritual spring beside Su Yu also emitted inexplicable fluctuations, and the sound of the Great Dao resounded, making people feel intoxicated, as if an unparalleled Dao was coming from the Immortal Realm.
The Divine Pool emitted a strange sound, which was startled by Su Yu's Chaos Heavenly Eye and resounded throughout the entire Stone Garden.
It's like a mysterious scripture, slowly unfolding, cleansing the soul; or like a piece of celestial music, melodious and unparalleled, elevating one to a sublime state.
Ji Tianyao hair was as white as snow, frowned slightly. He had expected that there were rare treasures in his stone workshop, but he never expected that two divine stones would appear as soon as he entered the Heaven-Class Stone Garden.
In order to identify the divine objects within the stones, the Ji Family invited experts in Source Arts to examine these Source Stone. The stones containing divine treasures were removed, and the remaining stones were of insufficient quality.
"The Great Dao Heavenly Sound is Immortal Exquisite. Although it's not very useful, I can give it to Zixia."
Su Yu reached out and pulled the Immortal Sound Stone from the Spirit Pool. With a clench of his snow-white hand, a faint seven-colored divine flame swept over it, drying the water and revealing the natural, rustic appearance of the bluish-brown stone in the sunlight.
This simple move astonished everyone, who recognized Su Yu's divine technique: the seven-colored fire mist of the eighth level of the Fire Domain, Divine Flame Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure.
"Does Heavenly Master Cao possess a fire-based constitution? He can actually refine seven-colored fire mist just like the Crow Daoist."
Seeing the crowd discussing this, Su Yu humbly said, "I've only refined a wisp of Seven-Colored True Fire; I dare not compare myself to the Black Feather King!"
After speaking, he took out a jade box, handed it to Ji Tianyao, and bought the Immortal Sound Stone.
"Why should the Celestial Master be modest? Who among us does not know the might of the Divine Flame on the eighth level of the Fire Domain!"
"That's right! For thousands of years, only the Crow Daoist has been able to enter the eighth level. I never thought that someone from our Human Clan would be able to set foot there."
A group of white-haired old men kept praising Su Yu, elevating him to a divine status and calling him the Flame Dao Lord of the Eastern Wasteland Human Clan, making him Great Power fire elementalist on par with the Crow Daoist.
"Is this the public opinion landscape Big Dipper? All for a life-extending elixir?"
Having discerned the intentions of everyone present, Su Yu shook his head slightly. A flash of purple light appeared in his sleeve, and he summoned a Silver Moon Divine Jade Short Sword. The sword was over nine inches long, with countless strange patterns engraved on its blade. Among them were nine Emperor characters, and faint divine patterns of the Great Dao emanated from it, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. Its silver light was like silk, and it was exquisitely beautiful.
This is the Dao seal of the Nameless Immortal Scripture!
He had given the previous Purple Marrow Jade Sword to Zixia, so he could only use the Silver Moon Divine Jade in his inventory to forge a new divine sword. Because it was forged in haste, this jade sword could only reach the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, but it was enough for cutting stones.
Stone chips flew everywhere as the Silver Moon Sword slashed across the Immortal Sound Stone. Stone skin flew off rapidly, and a flash of Chaos energy appeared in Su Yu's eyes. He had already memorized the veins of the rare treasure within the stone.
A melodious sound suddenly rang out, emanating from the stone. Everyone waited expectantly, eager to see what it might be.
Su Yu's movements were light and graceful, like a living melody dancing. The Silver Moon Jade Sword transformed into a ray of moonlight, fluttering on the Immortal Sound Stone, a sight to behold.
What exactly is it?
"Could it really be an ancient scripture?"
"Not necessarily, it might be a rare object."
Seeing the commotion, Ji Tianyao's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Silence!"
When the Fifth Elder of the Ji Family spoke, the noise instantly subsided, and the island became exceptionally quiet.
"Ding-dong!"
A melodious sound rang out, stone chips flew everywhere, and the Immortal Sound Stone was completely split open. Su Yu his sleeve, shaking off all the stone chips.
A jade cocoon appeared, about the size of a fist, crystal clear and radiant, its contents unknown.
"Another cocoon. Last time, the small black cocoon yielded Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Sword. What will it be this time?"
Suddenly, a wonderful sound rang out. It was not the sound of the Great Dao, but celestial music that captivated people and made their Divine Capital want to be lost in it.
Su Yu grasped the jade cocoon in his hand, and only then did the celestial music cease, and the world returned to peace. A chorus of exclamations arose from the sidelines, as many had momentarily lost their composure.
A crisp sword sound rang out, a flash of silver light streaked across, and the jade disc shattered.
"Ding-dong..."
Celestial music filled the air, dazzling lights filled the center of the arena, captivating everyone's hearts as if some bewitching power was drawing them in.
When the jade cocoon was cut open, it revealed an object that emitted a dazzling nine-colored light. It was only the size of a chicken egg, perfectly round and naturally formed, with nine holes on it, and it chirped when the wind blew.
This music is incredibly enchanting, captivating all who hear it, making them want to hold it in their hands and listen intently. It possesses an almost bewitching power. Its entire body is crystal clear, displaying nine colors, exceptionally beautiful and dazzling, like the most precious treasure in the world.
"This is Immortal Exquisite, what a pity..."
The appearance of this rare treasure Ji Tianyao with some regret, but he felt somewhat relieved. Even a master like Source Heavenly Master Source Heavenly Master couldn't succeed every time, let alone his successor.
Chapter 199 Divine Moon Stone
That's how it is with cutting stones; ninety-nine out of a hundred cuts will be empty. Even with amazing Source Arts, one can still be deceived when encountering a rare stone.
Everyone sighed in disbelief, realizing that even Heavenly Master Cao, the direct descendant of Source Heavenly Master, had misjudged the situation this time.
Previously, the Dragon Head Stone was surrounded by shimmering light and a powerful dragon aura, which made many people want to make a move in advance. However, due to Cao Yusheng's reputation, the Dragon Head Stone remained lying horizontally among the rocks.
"The priceless stones in the sacred land bring them considerable profits every year, always a sure thing. If they could cut out rare treasures, the Dragon Head Stone and the Immortal Sound Stone wouldn't have been sitting here for so many years."
Outside the stone garden, many people stood solemnly, warning their friends that they were not qualified to enter the Heaven-Class Stone Garden and could only watch from afar.
"The holy lands established the stone workshops to maximize profits. If they had any confidence, these rare stones wouldn't have been sent here. The Great Saint are not lacking in experts in stone."
Many people are secretly rejoicing now, for the art of stone cutting is profound and complex. Even Cao Yusheng, whose mastery of Source Arts is unparalleled, failed. That Dragon Head Stone may not necessarily yield any rare treasures.
Although the Immortal Exquisite was extraordinary, it was far inferior to the Immortal Gold Divine Medicine that Su Yu had cut out last time, causing everyone present to sigh.
Su Yu held the Immortal Exquisite in his palm. This precious celestial artifact was crystal clear and warm to the touch, shimmering with nine-colored light.
If this celestial treasure were to enter the Immortal Domain and be nourished by Immortal Qi, it would become a celestial book, imprinting with a portion of the patterns of heaven and earth!
In Su Yu's eyes, the Immortal Exquisite could be used as a token of love or as a decoration in the Immortal Palace, making it a divine object.
I just don't know what kind of product this so-called " Immortal Qi" is.
The Life essence containing the Longevity Substance, or the substance with the laws of Xian Dao, is most likely the latter in terms of the value of the Immortal Exquisite in this world. Although the former is rare in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it has not disappeared.
For millions of years, there has been no record of the Xian Dao scriptures displayed by the Immortal Exquisite spirit Linglong.
After putting the Immortal Exquisite into his sleeve, Su Yu continued cutting the stone.
The deity of the Emperor Zun's Source Cauldron of All Things wanted to break free from its spirit form and used a secret technique to reincarnate, and is now hiding in this lake.
Divine Child born to be a saint.
As a celestial artifact and deity, the Stone King in which he hides can emit inexplicable Dao principles, interfering with the judgment of Source Arts Masters and causing them to always cut the wrong stone in order to protect themselves.
However, this law does not apply to Chaos Body.
With his body in harmony with all the Dao and the heart of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, the deities of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron could not interfere with him.
Su Yu wandered through the garden and selected a Divine Moon Stone, which was one of the prized stones of the Ji Family Stone Workshop, worth 120,000 catties of Pure Source.
This stone resembles a crescent moon, making it quite unique. It is over two meters long and has a slightly crystalline luster throughout. The stone is very smooth and fine, making it a rare Source Stone. It shimmers in the sunlight, truly like a divine moon.
At this moment, the truly important figures in the Holy City also arrived at the Ji Family Stone Workshop.
Elder Jiang Li of the Jiang family, Uncle Xia Ye of the Great Xia Dynasty, Elder of Yaochi Holy Land, Supreme Elder of the Yuanshu Family, Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land, along with two Supreme Elders from other Holy Lands, six experts at the second level of the Sendai Realm, and one half-step expert descended.
The group filed in and entered the Heaven-Class Stone Garden.
Upon learning that Su Yu had spent 100,000 jin of Source to carve out the Immortal Exquisite, a gaunt old man dressed in green robes with disheveled gray hair said indifferently, "The Way of Source Arts is extremely profound. Even if you, fellow Daoist, have obtained the inheritance of the Source Heavenly Master, it is difficult to completely master this Way! I heard that the Source Heaven Book is in your possession?"
He is Tuoba Mao, the Supreme Elder of the Tuoba Family, a Half-Step Great Power, with an extremely high status in the Holy City. He is a guest of honor in various extreme holy lands and can be considered one of the top figures among the ancient Source Arts families.
There are several renowned families in the Northern Region who specialize in Source Arts. They have a long history and close ties with Great Saint. The Tuoba Family is one of them. It is said that their family has inherited ancient Source Arts that can stabilize dragon veins and lock down mountains and rivers.
Su Yu glanced at him, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. A mournful sound, like the lament of immortals and the death of gods, rang out, causing everyone present to pale. Tuoba Mao's soul trembled, as if facing a great calamity, and he dared not utter another word of provocation.
A Will Eternal startled Half-Step Great Power.
Inside the stone garden, some of the elderly people who were on good terms with Tuoba Mao were somewhat indignant, but under Ji Tianyao's watchful gaze, they all fell silent and dared not speak out again.
The other Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure began to communicate through divine sense, paying even more attention to Su Yu. The Ancient Saint appearance mentioned by the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family was not an exaggeration; Cao Yusheng was indeed amazing.
Seeing Tuoba Mao retreat with lingering fear, Su Yu stopped paying attention to this minor character and began cutting the stone.
He was not the isolated and helpless Ye Fan. As a guest elder of the Ji Family, he had the support of the Desolate Antiquity Ji Family behind him. Moreover, this was the Ji Family Stone Workshop, which was a home-field battle, and he could crush the opponent in every aspect.
It would have been better if these people from ancient families specializing in Source Arts hadn't shown up; they really dared to provoke him.
Murder, seize the source!
In the future, he will also create clones to kill the younger generation of their family, and also dig up their ancestral graves.
