Chapter 54 Victory!
"source?"
The young man in the brocade robe sneered.
He unfolded the folding fan in his hand.
He had an arrogant expression that looked down on poor, uneducated cultivators.
"Five thousand catties of pure source, can you, a rogue cultivator, really produce that?"
Li Xian remained silent.
He raised his right hand, and a flash of light appeared above the Sea of Bitterness.
"boom!"
A mountain of Originium fell to the ground and crashed onto the bluestone slab.
The area was filled with vibrant energy and dazzling light, with a rich, primordial energy of heaven and earth permeating the entire park.
A full five thousand kilograms of pure source material, not a single piece missing.
The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
The rogue cultivators in the crowd, who were expecting to see a joke, widened their eyes.
The young man in the brocade robe froze on his face.
Yao Yuekong, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, leaned against a stone pillar, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"and yours?"
Li Xian looked at him, her tone completely unwavering.
The young man in the brocade robe gritted his teeth.
He touched the storage bag at his waist, and his expression turned somewhat grim.
He's usually very extravagant and doesn't carry that much cash with him at all.
He turned his head.
He looked at the four burly men behind him:
"Lend me some."
The four bodyguards from the Four Extremes Secret Realm looked at each other in bewilderment.
It took the group a long time to gather enough for five thousand catties of ore, which they piled on the other side.
In terms of momentum, they were already at a disadvantage.
"Cut it."
Li Xian didn't waste any words.
He picked up the dusty, pebble that he had bought for a hundred kilograms.
With a flick of his wrist, the tattered monk's knife revealed a blade as white as snow.
The stone skin fell down in a soft rustling sound.
"Click."
A sliver of green light shone through.
With a flick of his wrist, Li Xian sent a thumb-sized green source block into his palm.
"Ye Luyuan." An older cultivator nearby examined it and shook his head. "It counts as a variant source, but it's too small. At most, it's worth eighty jin of pure source. We've lost twenty jin."
A few jeers rang out from the crowd.
The young man in the brocade robe waved his folding fan and burst into laughter:
"With skills like this, you dare to take on a task from the Source King's lineage? I think you're just here to deliver Source away!"
Li Xian ignored him and put Ye Luyuan away.
The old man beside the young man in the brocade robe stepped forward.
His withered finger pointed to the first stone.
An invisible blade flashed.
A crimson glow filled the sky, and a fist-sized piece of fiery red source was cut out, worth hundreds of kilograms of pure source.
Next, the second piece, shimmering with purple light, is a piece of amethyst source.
The third piece had a wonderfully fragrant aroma. A piece of the exotic snowflake source, about the size of a human face, was cut out.
All three stones are of different origin.
The total value exceeds 7,500 jin of pure source.
The crowd gasped in amazement.
The lineage of the Source King truly lives up to its name.
The outcome is decided.
The young man in the brocade robe closed his folding fan and reached out to grab Li Xian's pile of five thousand catties of pure source.
"Wait a minute."
The demonic moon utters only a sound.
He deflected the attack with his folding fan, his heterochromatic blue eyes fixed on Li Xian:
"Brother, you still have two stones to cut. Rules are rules; you can't move the bets until the very end."
The young man in the brocade robe frowned:
"Yao Yuekong, even if you cut those two broken stones into something beautiful, could they really be worth eight thousand catties of Origin?"
Li Xian didn't look at them.
We walked up to the black stone covered in cracks.
No knife was used.
Instead, he extended his right index finger.
A faint golden light shimmered at the fingertips.
The supreme sharpness evolved from the incomplete character "斗" has been restrained to the extreme.
He gently tapped the black stone.
"Click."
A crack appeared on the surface of the black stone.
Immediately afterwards, the entire stone, like a peeled egg, turned into dust and scattered in all directions.
A burst of dazzling purple light, like a small purple sun, erupted in Li Xian's palm.
"Amethyst Source! It's such a huge piece!"
The amethyst source, as large as an adult's head, is crystal clear and pure.
It is worth at least three thousand kilograms of pure source.
The audience was silent.
The young man in the brocade robe's expression changed drastically.
"Just luck!" he said through gritted teeth.
Li Xian remained expressionless.
We walked toward the last brown boulder, about half a person's height.
The surface of this stone was as rough as a withered tree, and there was no fluctuation of source energy.
Li Xian extended her index finger again.
This time, he didn't make a dot, but instead followed the texture of the boulder and gently traced a line from top to bottom.
"laugh--"
The stone skin cracked.
There was no glow of dawn, no exotic fragrance.
Only a chilling surge of energy suddenly emanated from the crack. It was the purest form of life essence, carrying a trace of timeless divinity.
"boom!"
A pure white beam of light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the sky above the ninth area of Daoyi Stone Workshop in a snowy white.
A single grain of divine essence.
It floats silently in mid-air.
Although it was only the size of a mung bean, it was the true source of divine power.
One grain.
That's equivalent to tens of thousands of kilograms of pure mineral water.
The entire Ninth Zone was deathly silent.
Yao Yuekong gasped, her blue heterochromatic eyes shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
The young man in the brocade robe was struck dumb.
He took three steps back, and the folding fan fell to the ground.
"Divine Source...he extracted the Divine Source..."
I don't know who it is.
He called out in a trembling voice.
The next moment, the entire Dao Yi Stone Archway was in an uproar.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.
Several elderly men with white hair and dressed in ancient clothing appeared in the Ninth Park like ghosts.
Their auras were unfathomable; even the weakest among them was at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage.
There were even two—
He exuded a terrifying aura at the level of a powerful being.
However, these old men were all very old and their bodies were filled with a dense aura of death.
They are the supreme elders of various religious sects.
With little time left to live, he wanders like a ghost through the various stone workshops of the holy city, waiting for someone to cut out a divine medicine or rare treasure that can prolong his life.
"The aura of divine power!"
An old woman leaning on a cane stared intently at the divine source particle in Li Xian's hand, her eyes turning red.
"Young friend, how about selling this divine source to this old man? I'll offer 20,000 catties of pure source!" another withered old man said eagerly.
"I'll offer 30,000!"
A powerful aura reverberated throughout the park.
The pressure was so intense that the surrounding young cultivators could hardly breathe.
The young man in the brocade robe and his four bodyguards trembled under this oppressive aura, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Li Xian remained calm.
The Divine Source Particle was placed into the jade box.
"Sorry, I'll use it myself."
Disappointment flashed in the eyes of several elderly men.
But then, their gazes toward Li Xian became extremely ardent.
He casually picked three pieces of waste rock and cut out huge amethyst sources and divine source particles.
This is not luck.
This is Origin Technique!
Extremely profound source techniques!
"Young friend."
The elderly woman with the cane stepped forward, her tone gentle:
"The first nine districts are all leftover scraps. With your source magic, it would be a waste to use it here."
She pointed deeper in.
"The top-tier area of Dao Yi Stone Workshop contains genuine ancient primordial stones. If you are interested, young friend, I am willing to vouch for you and invite you to come in and show off your skills."
"Excellent! We are also willing to act as guarantors for our young friend!"
The other elderly people chimed in.
They need a master of Source Arts to help them find a way to prolong their lives.
Li Xian looked at these old men.
Everything is in the simulation.
With his cultivation at the second level of the Dao Palace, if he wanted to enter the top-tier park, he would either have to pay an exorbitant deposit or have someone act as his guarantor.
Now, these old monsters with little time left to live are his guarantors.
"Can."
Li Xian nodded.
He turned around and walked to the pile of 10,000 catties of pure source and the alien source that the young man in the brocade robe had cut out.
With a wave of his sleeve, he swallowed everything into the sea of suffering.
"Thank you for your concession."
The young man in the brocade robe had a twitching eye; his heart was bleeding.
But under the watchful eyes of several powerful old monsters, he didn't dare utter a single word and slunk into the crowd with his bodyguards.
Surrounded by a group of elders, Li Xian walked towards the Tianzihao area, the deepest part of Daoyi Stone Archway.
Yao Yuekong watched Li Xian's retreating figure.
A smile played at the corners of his lips.
"Interesting. Let's go see what other amazing things he can cut out."
