Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 59 Human Essence Fruit (Seeking First Subscription)
"What's going on? How did it sell?" Yun Shang asked urgently via telepathy.

He also noticed that the source stone was quite extraordinary. If he hadn't thought of Li Yao's maturity and composure, he probably would have jumped out to object immediately.

“That source stone is suspicious!” Li Yao replied.

Under the eyes of the Source God, the secret of that Source Stone was revealed. It was indeed extraordinary in the past, but for some reason, the sacred object contained within it had long since decayed.

"You acted so convincingly just now!" Yun Shang's gaze towards Li Yao changed. He had always thought Li Yao was a good kid, but who knew he was actually a sly one.

Li Yao's acting was indeed convincing; otherwise, those people wouldn't have fallen for it. The reason Yun Shang held back was because he understood Li Yao and knew he wouldn't do a losing business.

After the Primordial Dao Diagram Stone was retrieved, Li Yao stepped forward and came to the Bamboo Forest Beauty Stone, where he once again used the Origin Heaven Divine Eye to probe it.

This source stone is very large, over two meters tall, and has the outline of a beautiful woman in a bamboo forest imprinted on it.

After a long while, Li Yao was speechless. Inside this source stone was indeed a statue of a beautiful woman, and it was even carved from green leaf source material.

What kind of absurd behavior is this?!
As a heterogeneous source, Green Leaf Source is much more valuable than ordinary sources. A Green Leaf Source as tall as a person is worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 catties of pure source.

Even the person who sculpted the statue was an unparalleled powerhouse, and his Dao principles were infused into it, making it even more valuable than the Green Leaf Source itself.

You won't lose money if you buy it, but you'll only break even.

Li Yao shook his head in disappointment and walked towards the last Phoenix Blood Stone, the source stone he had been most looking forward to.

Although he sensed the strange phenomenon of emptiness and deficiency through his connection with the heavens, the pure divine phoenix energy within it was undeniable.

Li Yao used the Source Heaven Divine Eye again, and the Source Stone suddenly seemed to become transparent, allowing him to see everything inside.

"Wow!"

The power within the Origin Stone was activated by the Origin God Eye, and a phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens, causing the entire Origin Stone to become scorching hot.

"A phoenix! It's the aura of a phoenix!"

"I have heard that the phoenix is ​​born from heaven and earth. Could there really be a young phoenix in the Phoenix Blood Stone?"

"In any case, this Phoenix Blood Stone must contain some priceless treasures related to the phoenix."

The Jiang family members turned green with disgust. They now felt that these Source Technique Masters were extremely annoying.

"Cut the stone! Quickly cut the stone!"

Many people shouted, eager to know immediately what rare and extraordinary treasure had been created.

Jiang Xiong was extremely annoyed at this moment. His bad premonition had actually come true, and the two peerless stones had indeed fallen into someone else's hands.

"What rare treasure can compare to the immortals? Even if a peerless divine object is cut out, it is inevitable to lose and it will be given to my uncle." Tuoba Hong was very confident in his uncle and believed that he had already won before the game even started.

“That’s right. If we can really find a celestial trace in the Flying Immortal Stone, then we’re almost guaranteed to win. There won’t be any surprises.” Someone agreed with Tuoba Hong’s words.

"It's not that simple. The phoenix is ​​a celestial being of heaven and earth, and its status is no lower than that of an immortal. If the Phoenix Blood Stone yields items related to the phoenix, then it's no less valuable than a celestial artifact." Some people disagreed with Tuoba Hong's words.

At this moment, everyone is tense and focused, waiting for the treasures contained within the Flying Immortal Stone and the Phoenix Blood Stone to be revealed.

After a brief period of commotion, the Tianzihao Stone Garden quickly quieted down, becoming completely silent, with the sound of falling leaves clearly audible.

"You go first," Li Yao gestured.

Tuoba Lie did not speak. He took a deep breath and then took out a five-colored animal skin pouch containing more than a dozen sharp knives of different shapes.

The ancient Yuan Shu family was very particular, using different knives to cut different Yuan stones. Tuoba Lie took out a bright silver knife, engraved with a scene of immortals traveling, shimmering with divine light, and held it in his hand.

"Crack!"

With the first stroke, he chopped off a corner of the edge, and with a light stroke, it turned into a pile of stone dust, with nothing inside.

"Crack!"

The sounds continued, and Tuoba Lie kept striking with his sword. His movements were light and graceful, not like he was wielding a knife, but like he was dancing with his fingers. His skill was close to the Tao, and he was full of beauty.

All these details also show that Tuoba Lie has a profound understanding of the field of Origin Arts, and is close to the Dao.

The stone skin, like carved flower petals, fluttered and fell to the ground with a rustling sound. A third of the huge Flying Immortal Stone had been cut off, and a thick layer of stone chips had accumulated on the ground.

At this moment, it was extremely quiet; no one dared to disturb them, and everyone held their breath to watch.

Tuoba Lie was completely focused, his silver sword gleaming straight. The world was silent, except for the way he danced with the silver sword, as if playing a musical piece. Time slowly passed, and his movements became slower and gentler, as if afraid of breaking this tranquility and damaging the divine object within the Flying Immortal Stone.

Everyone's nerves were on edge, almost suffocating, their eyes fixed on the center of the arena, where Tuoba Lie was the absolute focus.

Even Li Yao was watching. In terms of stone cutting, he was really no match for Tuoba Lie, because it required a long period of practice.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, Tuoba Lie gently brought down his knife again, and the stone naturally cracked open, shooting out a dazzling light that was extremely eye-catching. Then, a beam of light shot up and flew into the sky.

"Immortal aura, such a rich immortal aura, this must be related to immortals."

"Heavens! A celestial being has truly appeared in the world today. The five major domains will be shaken, and the Eastern Wilderness is about to become lively."

Outside the Tianzihao Stone Garden, the onlookers suddenly erupted in excitement.

A dazzling ray of light illuminated the sky, making it sparkle and shine like a crystal.

Under the big tree, the old man's fair, baby-like hand swept across the void, and a curtain of light was erected, enveloping the Heavenly Stone Garden and sealing off this space to prevent any divine beings from escaping.

Everyone was stunned. They all knew that they must have cut out an extremely rare treasure, probably worth a fortune.

"Auspicious omen! This is absolutely auspicious omen!" A group of old monsters stepped forward; such a precious stone was enough to tempt anyone.

Even the old man from the Jiang family stood up and silently came to the side to observe quietly. This strange phenomenon had not occurred for many years.

"Cut it quickly! Cut it open!" The people outside the stone garden were itching to see what was inside.

Without their urging, Tuoba Lie was equally excited. This source stone had already shown its extraordinary nature. Even in his entire life, he had never seen such a terrifying phenomenon before.

"Click"

Tuoba Lie carefully used his knife to peel off the stone layer by layer, and soon a fragrant aroma of medicine rose up.

Those who smelled the medicinal fragrance immediately felt a tingling sensation throughout their bodies, especially the old monsters, who felt a jolt and their eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It's a elixir, a elixir that increases lifespan!" At this moment, the old monsters in the Heavenly Stone Garden were completely unsettled.

For these people, this is what they crave most. Only those who have experienced the relentless approach of death can truly appreciate how precious life is.

Tuoba Lie was unaffected, and continued to wield his silver knife lightly. Soon, the stone skin fell off, revealing a fruit.

"The Human Essence Fruit is not a celestial treasure!"

"Although it's not a Celestial Treasure, this is a Human Essence Fruit that has almost transformed into an Earthly Fate Fruit. It's an absolutely rare and priceless divine medicine!"

The onlookers exclaimed in amazement. Although it was a pity that they did not see any trace of the immortal, the fact that such a rare and divine medicine had been cut out was already quite extraordinary.

"Fellow Daoist Tuoba, sell it to me, and I'm willing to offer 250,000 jin of Origin." An old monster spoke urgently.

He was really old; the wrinkles on his face could trap flies. Although his cultivation was extraordinary, without a life-extending elixir, he would probably only live for the next ten years or so.

"Three hundred thousand catties of Origin, I am Wu Feiyun of the Underworld Palace. Fellow Daoist Tuoba sold it to me. The Underworld Palace will remember your favor." The Supreme Elder of the Underworld Palace said urgently.

His condition was not bad. Although he was still old, he did not have the smell of decay, and his lifespan was still quite long.

However, as a sacred place, the Underworld Palace also contains many old monsters whose lifespans are nearing their end. Since he has encountered such a divine medicine, he certainly cannot miss it.

"I'm willing to offer 350,000 jin of the source material; no one can compete with me." An old monster stepped forward, shouting out a high price, determined to win.

"This is the Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Palace. He has been famous for over eight hundred years, but he has not yet broken through to the Great Power level. Now his lifespan is almost over." Someone revealed the old monster's identity.

……

Li Yao looked at the people bidding and sighed, putting his hand to his forehead. He didn't say much, but instead took out a silver knife and began to cut the stone.

It was only then that someone realized, "No, what are you arguing about? The jade gambling isn't over yet."

The group of old monsters who were bidding then realized what was happening.

Yes, the duel is not over yet. As agreed beforehand, if Li Yao wins, this Human Yuan Fruit will be his spoils of war.
