Tempting the Heavenly Dao with a Pie in the Sky
Thinking about it this way, he actually felt that what he said at such a critical moment, with his mind working on its own, was actually quite good.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Qing'an, too lazy to scare Ding Yishan any further, flashed his hand and took out the last item for auction.
"You really want this?"
Ding Yishan glanced at the broken, round jade tablet in Lu Qing'an's hand, and said with a wry smile, "I dare not take it! I dare not take it!!"
"Come on, I'm starting to get curious. What kind of magic does this thing possess that would make you risk your life to get it?" Lu Qing'an said.
Ding Yishan's lips twitched. After hearing those words, his chaotic mind started to function slightly.
It seems this big shot doesn't know what this thing is for either?
Does this mean you want to know what this thing is?
Recalling their initial conversation, he realized that to survive, he had to seize this opportunity!
"Senior, do you want to know the purpose of this jade tablet?" Ding Yishan asked with a forced smile.
Lu Qing'an remained silent, only staring intently at Ding Yishan.
Ding Yishan realized that such a powerful person wouldn't say he wanted to know!
He wanted to slap himself, and then quickly explained what he knew about the round jade tablet.
"Senior, I found a secret page in a special cave outside the realm..."
Ding Yishan hurriedly handed Lu Qing'an a piece of paper made of a special material that he had found many years ago.
This secret page contains information about a special treasure, complete with illustrations. It tells the story of a unique organization that created an extremely rare treasure many years ago for finding the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone and its mineral veins!
The appearance of this treasure gave the organization the ability to quickly accumulate Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone, making it an extremely terrifying and powerful organization. However, because of some actions it took, it offended certain special beings and was eventually destroyed.
After listening to Ding Yishan's account, Lu Qing'an looked at the patterns drawn in the secret pages in his hand. His expression seemed calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
Because the treasure in this picture is made up of two items, and now he has actually obtained both of them!
The round jade plate with a missing corner is the base, and the equilateral triangle with something running through its center is the upper part!
When the two are in their complete state and combined, they perfectly match the pattern in the secret page!
Lu Qing'an carefully examined the instructions on how to use this treasure contained in the secret page.
No wonder the round jade plate glowed when the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone approached; it turns out it contained an extremely powerful perception array. When fully activated, the array could explore the entire range of the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone, reaching all the way to a low-level star field!
Even in its current incomplete state, with one piece missing, the formation can still explore an area one-tenth the size of a lower-level star field if it is successfully activated!
However, this circular jade disc can only explore the area; it cannot pinpoint the exact location of the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone or the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine.
Only a rough location can be given.
To perfectly and accurately pinpoint a specific location, the upper part is also needed.
It was indeed an equilateral triangle!
Now, he already owns two parts!
Once assembled, we can explore the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine!
Unfortunately, neither part is complete, and it's unknown whether the located position is accurate enough!
"Even if it's not entirely accurate, it's better than being completely blind! Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone are extremely rare resources throughout the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, and can be used as the best form of currency. If someone truly possesses a large number of Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines, it's equivalent to having a never-ending money-printing machine. Traveling through the Nine Directions and Ten Domains will be even more enjoyable!"
Thinking of this, Lu Qing'an smiled, then, as if remembering something, he looked at Ding Yishan and calmly said, "I've finished looking at it. This jade plate is only one part. What, you have another part?"
He couldn't help but wonder if Ding Yishan possessed a complete equilateral triangle.
Even in its incomplete state, this thing is still at the Eight Mysteries level of the Heavenly Destiny Soul Stone mine. When the two parts are combined, the complete treasure for finding the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine should be Nine Mysteries treasure.
The Nine Mysteries Treasures are the highest-grade and most precious treasures in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains.
Ding Yishan smiled wryly, "No, but this jade plate might be of some use. Have you heard of the Fallen God Sea Fallen God Sea? I recently learned its location, and I heard there's a very hidden Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein there! If this can help me find that vein, then I'll..."
He couldn't continue, because all of this was no longer his concern!
Even for a powerful being in the Eternal Realm, a Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein is an extremely rare find, and perhaps Lu Qing'an would also be interested in it.
Quite a few Sovereign Realm know the location of the Fallen God Sea!
"You're quite ambitious, kid. You're at the Peak Sovereign Realm, and you want to own a Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine?"
Ding Yishan: "A person without dreams is no different from a salted fish."
Lu Qing'an glanced at Ding Yishan again, and then, thinking of the Xu Heng's relationship with Xu Heng, the head of the Xu Household family, a cold smile appeared on his face, "You said earlier that you had a very good relationship with the head of the Xu Household family, that you were sworn brothers?"
"Uh, yes..." Upon hearing this, Ding Yishan was momentarily at a loss as to what Lu Qing'an was planning to do.
"I'm curious, if I asked you to go to great lengths for your good brother, would you be able to do it?" Lu Qing'an smiled mysteriously and transmitted his voice to himself.
Ding Yishan was taken aback upon hearing this.
Willing to go through fire and water for you?
He nodded quickly.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance to live, provided you do as I say."
Ding Yishan felt numb after hearing Lu Qing'an's telepathic message.
Is this the kind of person who would go to great lengths for someone?!
But the thought that this was the only way to save his life made him willing to risk it all.
And so, the conflict came to an end.
Lu Qing'an let Ding Yishan go, a smile on his lips, and watched Ding Yishan leave.
Yun Luo Lu Qing'an had indeed not killed Ding Yishan and even seemed to have instructed Ding Yishan on what to do, Yunluo couldn't help but become curious about what Ding Yishan would do next.
"Senior, thank you for giving me face and sparing his life," Yun Luo said again.
Lu Qing'an said directly, "You have a good eye."
Yun Luo an awkward smile, "It was all because of Sister Cang Ru's reminder."
Lu Qing'an gave Cang Ru a meaningful look, his eyes full of admiration, and then continued to look at Yun Luo, saying, "No matter what, you're quite good too. Today, everyone gets a share. Once I use this to find a few more Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, I'll give you one."
At this point, you can draw a picture of a cake for Yun Luo.
The Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Fall Continent is quite adept at handling things. If you cultivate a good relationship with the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Fall Continent, you might even be able to form a contract with the Heavenly Fall Continent in the future.
Even if a contract cannot be formed, having another capable mainland ally who can help him with some matters is still a good thing.
